Pre-buffered Coco Coir

[Leafmite]

I found the product:

Coco | Mother Earth

It looks ready to use from the bag. My experience was with cheap bricks that came free with self-watering pots. This stuff looks nice. I bet that if you had any questions, you could contact them and they would be very helpful. Good luck!

I'm experimenting with coconut fibers. Not the compressed stuff that comes in bricks but the actual long fibers that they use to make loosely knit matts to lay inside large wire hanging baskets.

What I'm tinkering with is using it for a liner in my plastic hanging net pots. I like use a mix of small bark, charcoal, perlite mixed with a few sprigs of sphag. for those baskets but always scratched my head about how to get it to stay in the basket.

So far, it's working perfectly. Has zero impediment to post watering drying and by the time roots get near it any salt residue will have long ago leached out.

I also use the coconut husk fibers at the bottom of baskets and it works great. I've also used it at the bottom of regular pots for house plants so the soil doesn't fall off the drainage hole.
