Buying compost in dry blocks is easy to handle and store. To mix it I fill an old 70 litre about three quarters up with water and hold the block in until it starts to swell, it takes some time so I leave it overnight - the bin does bulge. It's is light to use, very well drained, does not stick together hard like glue. So for pots I mix it with cheap cat litter - clay type with no added anything - and plant food or bone meal, That's the only real down side plants need feeding all the time in it, but mix with a bit of 6X chicken pellets and some slow release feeding granules its quite good, and peat free of course. Need to water containers every day. Storing it does not take up much space before soaking, and then just in a bin, but then you do need to soak the whole lot at once.

It is very convenient to be able to buy coir in a block. It was easy to rehydrate in the wheelbarrow and is a good alternative to peat. In fact, I think that it might even be better as it doesn't seem to have the same "crust forming" tendencies of peat. It IS expensive comparatively speaking, but if you can afford it and have environmental concerns your garden will not suffer any loss by using coir.

Have used this stuff repeatedly and got good results. The big plus for those of us with limited space is that it is easier to store than non expandable compost. A drawback for those used to using enriched compost is that one has to add one's own nutrients. However, that is probably a big plus for organic growers. The price is also a massive plus. This product is excellent value for money. Happy Growing!
