With any luck Poundland will be stocking those small bricks of coir again this year. I brought several last year & still have most of them still sitting here, but a few more would be helpful.

great spot! and there is currently a 5p saving. ha ha
I think I may stock up at that reduced price.

Just got a couple of Ts and bought a pkg of coco fiber bricks. While breaking down the first brick i came across some kinnd of white substance that felt like some kind of gravel. Is this normal? View attachment 43437

This stuff is from the tropics...you've got coral sand.

I still have some left from last year, but want some more.

That is very weird, I must admit I have never come across anything like that before. I actually found a large screw in a bag of coco fiber a while back.

Because you are doing it the right way! LOL

Does this come ready to use? or do you have to dry it out?

I have not used that, so don't know,. But as the producer has to distribribute these bags to thier retailers, I would imagine that increasing the weight of the product, by selling it with excess water in it, would make no sense from a commercial point of view.

This product is sold by mass, not weight, so unlike some products, water would seem to take profit, not add to it.

I get what you mean, im sure i read or was told by someone it can be used straight from the bag but i cant remember where it was. I think it might been @Phil That said it though

I usually buy the big sacks (50 or 60 litres) that comes ready to use straight out the bag. Delivery to your door is free. I have always used a company called fertile fibre (they list all their products under coir) but the last sack of substrate came from amazon (not the rainforest) following a recommendation from @m0lsx I think?
