Then processed and compressed into blocks which are expanded by soaking water. You get a replacement for peat moss which is being argued is more sustainable. I make a living soil mix that I can reuse probably almost forever. Coco coir is the base the I add in measured amounts; composted comfrey, worm castings, vermiculite, perlite, bone meal, blood meal, mycorrhizae, composted grass cuttings. This is mixed in bulk and let to “grow” for at least 3 months to let the microbes do their thing. This is our base mix for most of our veggie grow bags.
