The volume created by these bricks were more than I expected. The quality of the mix is very good. I didn’t see many sticks or other types of debris in them.

The medium was fine but the reason for the 2 stars was because of the multiple glass shards I found in it if I didn’t have thick gloves on my hands would have been sliced up.

Affordable & Eco-Friendly
It's an affordable and eco-friendly option for a general soil base. It expands to approximately 8 quarts, as advertised, and I had only one brick that had a couple of plastic strands packed in. The only bit of criticism I have is having to deal with more fibers than the bagged Burpee Seed Starting Mix, though this can be fixed by pulling them out with a hand fork/weeder and repurposed as compost or, if you accumulate enough, as a mulch.

    Inert grow media
    I been using this coco coir medium for 4 years now! Let me pit it this way. This is not miracle grow! It has no nutrients in this mix. If your starting seeds you must add nutrients after the first week of sprouting. It may be a weak solution since it would be the first week. I use general hydroponics grow, micro and bloom. Within one month of feeding and under fluorescent light i get great starter plants just like the nursery. Within two months I have a small bushy plant and that's in a solo cup. I must stress again, that this mix is great when used properly. There are no nutrients in this mix you must use fertilizer, and do not let this medium dry out! Coco needs to be moist at all times. Not soggy and soaked but moist! This grows excellent plants if you follow these directions, keep it moist and add nutrients!

      Stay away!
      I am an avid vegetable gardener and have tried many seed starting soils in the past. Decided to save a little money and give this a try. The seeds sprouted but then failed to thrive. They never got their second set of leaves and started to turn yellow. Their growth was stunted and they didn't transplant well at all - most of the plants died. I will stick to the move expensive seed starting formulas that work and help my plants grow.

        Moldy
        The bricks looked good when I bought them. When I rehydrated 2 of them that day…whew! The smell of mold and mildew was overwhelming. Unusable.

                    Really didn’t work
                    Seedlings took a long time to sprout and were horribly stunted. The seedlings just wouldn’t grow past two inches high, it was really strange. I’ve never had issues with other seedling or potting mixes, so it really seems like there was something wrong with this product.
