11 lb. (5KG) Coconut Coir Block of Soilless Media

Think about when the grass needs feeding the most ... Springtime and in preparation for harsh weather later in the year, Winter, so late Fall before the temperatures really drop. Regarding actual feed, Nitrogen gives grass the most luscious sward so that content should be high. Product-wise ... take your pick but Milorganite would be my first choice.

Sorry but I cannot recall. Why not email the producer directly?

Yes. That's a common use for it.

Once expanded the 11 lb brick will be 18-20 gallons, or around 2.5 cubic feet.

It depends on your watering schedule. I do not have a sprinkler system in my back flower garden. I mix cup(already soaked in water) into the soil around the plants at a distance of 18inches distance around the plant from the stem. It is best to soak in water first so you can see the real amount, it swells up quite a bit. I also at to my potted plants at 1/2 per gal pot. Works very well as a starter medium for cuttings or seeds.

The question was: Is this product suitable for vermiculture (worm farming)? Vermiculture requires the coconut coir to be very low in sodium. Worms don't react well to bedding made with pure coconut coir. On the other hand, bedding made with newspaper, shredded paper, coffee gain, grass, food scraps, and then supplemented with coconut coir it works well. The water and humidity retention of the coconut coir works great. The low sodium issue uses granular gypsum works well and at the same time deduces the soil PH.

One brick goes a long way. Increases about ten fold when soaked in water. Thanks.

Let it soak until it is fully saturated and it will make an excellent seed starter, but so does a wet paper towel. This works by providing moisture without drowning the seed. Or, mix it 50/50 with some soil and then you can grow your seedlings until they are ready to transplant outside. It prevents the soil from compacting and provides moisture.

Absolutely. I have had some of mine stored for almost a year and it had only absorbed a small amount of moisture from the air. I would suggest storing in a sealed container or a plastic bag, to keep out bugs. You may also want to look for multi packs of smaller bricks for easier storage.

I'm typically at saturation with 1kg coir to 3 liters of water. after pasteurization and settling it's just under the leaking point. you can add vermiculite to tighten it up if necessary.
