Urban Worm Coco Coir Soil Amendment and Bedding

Very good product, easy to use and my worms are happy.

READ BEFORE BUYING! First of all I’m a real consumer and do not work for any company. Stop being afraid of using a new product, especially one that will change the way you plant everything. I wouldn’t recommend using this product to plant into directly. Although you can. Use it as an additive to the dirt you already have. This product is the perfect solution to that pesky cheap dirt that you bought on sale. You know the kind. The one that gets real hard, real fast. Then when you pour water on top and it just sits there and soaks in slowly. If at all. Then you find out that is just ran down the edges of the pot and out of the bottom. Then your plants either die from drought or suffocated roots. Adding this to your dirt acts like a plumbing system made of sponge (only it’s not sponge). When mixed into your dirt and pour water into your pot this mix absorbs fluids immediately. This allows you to be sure a perfect distribution of water or feed to your plant with ease throughout the entire container. Once you open this small brick and add water to it, break it down and you will see how efficient it is. Be sure to follow the instructions. Don’t add the brick to water. Add water to the brick. About 1 gallon. Then lay it out to dry. Once it’s dries, begin to add it to your dirt. Add about 2-3qts to a 8qt bag. (4cups equals 1qt) Use your dirt as a usual and be shocked that it makes such a difference. You’ll save time watering your plants and you will never wonder if your babies are full hydrated. Remember free and healthy roots are your gardens best chance to make you smile.

Works great good stuff

Good quality, low EC. Relatively granular texture, a bit more fibers would be nice. Could be the batch. Overall, a high quality product. Recommended.

By worms and my plants/seedlings love this stuff worth buying

Excellent coco coir and amendment to your soil

I use coir as the base for all my plant soils and have bought numerous brands online and in stores. I’ll admit that I bought this for the cute packaging, but the product has been great! First, the bricks come individually divided into four bags, making it incredibly easy to use smaller portions at a time. The bags turn out to be so incredibly useful to either mix the soil in directly, or store leftover amounts if I don’t need to use the whole brick. Second, I’ve used other brands and noticed small white “spots” on coir bricks previously, typically meaning that some mold has developed. This product, however, showed no signs of mold likely because of how well the bricks were packed. Lastly, when rehydrating the coir, it simply sloughed off and fluffed up with such little effort. This allowed me to quickly mix the soil instead of breaking down hard chunky pieces for hours. I can’t say too much about how well it works for other uses, but as a soil amendment it’s fantastic!

This was purchased to feed my composting worms until the bin was set up. They seemed to enjoy it, they didn’t tell me one way or another so it’s just an assumption at this point. It held water, was clean, and expanded quickly, and I didn’t have to hassle with cleaning the store bought kind . Once the worms return the survey I can update this review 🐛 Survey returned, the worms are very pleased!
