ZeeDix 8 Pack Coco Coir Brick (11.2lbs), 100% Organic Coconut Coir for Garden Soil & Potting Mix, Low EC and pH Balance, Compressed Coconut Husk Fiber for Seed Starter Soil for Indoor Outdoor Plants

Was very useful when I had to reseed my lawn. Mixed this with soil and manure and then placed the seeds, followed by covering the seeds with this mixture. It helped retain the moisture and my grass seed grew back really well. Would recommend this to help maintain moisture in the pot, garden, or lawn.

I got these to use in a composting toilet for an RV. I appreciate the compact design for shipping and for storing it. It is a bit of a pain to break it up as it's shipped as a stiff brick. It's also pretty messy and coca core dust does get everywhere even in the box it's shipped in. Works great as a compost medium though!

Easy to use, retains moisture, helps plants growth rate

This is the best bang for your buck. This will give you a lot of substrate for your microgreens. The coconut coir absorbs and holds onto the water very well.The bricks are large and a little annoying to store, but you get so much that you won’t have to worry about buying more anytime soon.They helped my Microgreens grow super fast and strong.

This is a good product and is great in my seed starting mix, but I will say this is definitely more difficult to use than the ready made stuff. That’s kind of a given, but it’s definitely added a lot of time to my process because I don’t need the whole brick. I broke off some smaller bits (difficult to do) because I really didn’t want to get the whole thing wet if I’m not using it.If you have a larger project then I don’t think you’ll have as much of an issue, but it’s still a chore to try to get it all to soften. It’s not instant. It’s a space saver though and also more cost effective.

The product is very compact and saves on storage space. My seedlings love it when mixed with perlite and vermiculite. I find it works better than peat.

I’ve used coco coir for years, including brands like Burpee, and this is by far the most frustrating batch I’ve worked with. While it technically becomes usable after a lot of effort, I can’t recommend it for several reasons:• Underweight: The product says each brick is 1.4 lbs, totaling 11.2 lbs for 8 bricks. Mine weighed just over 9 lbs; that’s just about 2 lbs short.• Extremely slow to hydrate: Despite 100+ degree outdoor heat, soaking for 32+ hours, and regular stirring and breaking by hand, I still had rock-solid chunks the size of Oreos (maybe even a little bigger) that wouldn’t break down.• Foreign debris: I found multiple pebbles mixed in. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely not what I expect from a gardening product labeled “organic” and “clean.”• Potentially misleading claims: The listing says “low EC and pH balanced,” but based on the poor quality, slow hydration, and lack of buffering/rinsing instructions, I have serious doubts. I had to manually rinse and flush it like unprocessed coir, to ensure that it would be clean and safe for my plants.If you’re trying to save money and don’t mind doing a lot of extra prep work, including rinsing and hand filtering, you might still get decent use out of it. But if you’re hoping for consistency, quality control, or anything close to what the label promises, I’d look elsewhere.

These coco coir bricks are perfect for my indoor seedling setup! They expand quickly with water and create a light, fluffy mix that holds moisture without getting soggy. My herbs and veggies sprouted strong and healthy. Super easy to use, and I love that they’re organic. Definitely buying again for future plantings!
