Customers say

Customers like the quality, value, and expansion of the soil. For example, they mention it's finer than most, expands 8 to 10 times with the addition of water, and works well for the price. That said, some complain about contamination and water retention.

Customers have mixed opinions about the water retention of the soil. Some mention that it holds the perfect moisture for their crickets, and it rehydrates very quickly. However, others say that it was slightly over dry and some of the fibers had.

38 customers mention7 positive31 negative

Customers are unhappy with the contamination of the soil. They mention that it contains rocks, seeds, and other foreign debris. Some customers also report that the fibers had turned to dust and that the dust content is so high that the block absorbs water very slowly.

"Great price, but a bit of foreign debris ie sticks, plastic...." Read more

"...These long fibers also make it difficult to portion off pieces of the brick to hydrate...." Read more

"...Second issue, there's alot of random chunks of stuff in the coco. Plastic pieces, little seeds, rocks, and some other stuff...." Read more

"...The filtered runoff is pretty intense with fine dust. Looked like weak coffee and tested around 350 ppm at first rehydration...." Read more

Great quality coir fiber provides great results with consistent quality.

Great quality coir fiber provides great results with consistent quality.
I’ve purchased 16 Mother Earth Coco Bales in 4 separate orders and my experience has been positive and consistent throughout. Having read the reviews, I was careful to check for any debris, bad smells, failure to expand, etc. I can report there were no bad smells, and there were only a few random tiny rocks and a string of plastic in total. This product should be expanded in a large container. I filled my wheelbarrow with water for each brick. After an hour, most of the coco had expanded (see attached image), and I was able to get the entire batch expanded after a little crumbling by hand. I then dried the expanded coir to get a large amount of fluffy, absorbent material which I’ve used for both potted plants and garden soil amendment. I have several large areas with extremely poor, rocky soil and this summer have amended the areas by removing most rocks and added 1/5 ratio coco coir. Since the coir is fairly neutral, and compost bags are heavy to lug around, I took a shortcut and added some Herd of Worms worm tea fertilizer (https://www.amazon.com/Worm-Tea-Fertilizer-Liquid-Concentrate/dp/B0BZDNCGGZ) with great success. Later I’ll be able to add compost and earthworms, but the amended soil is absorbent and I am very pleased with the results.

I think this is easier than breaking down bricks of compressed coco coir. I think my plants appreciate the bit of perlite as it holds a bit more moisture than the coir would alone, which is good as I live in the desert. Solid product I have been using for years. For cacti 1 part cactus soil, 1 part coco coir and 2 parts pumice NOT more perlite. For Monstera and pothos and most "jungle" type plants I use equal parts cactus soil, pumice, COCO COIR and orchid bark. My Monstera is huge and the pothos grow like weeds in this mix.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024
Size: Coco Bale 5kgVerified Purchase
Searched for something more than the usual "bricks" of coir one usually finds. This is definitely more.
The 5 kilogram "block" would best be soaked in a large tub until the material flakes into its useful consistency. My mistake was trying to use a batch and save the rest for later. Whatever method of breaking off just a partial amount was highly unsuccessful. This block is very dry and resistant to separating in pieces.
But once soaked, it has made 2 3-gallon buckets of usable material. Very happy with that amount, especially versus the amount from a brick.

I was told about this by a farmer in Africa, that had gone down to help with the current crop situation that they’re having. Great stuff!

I absolutely love this! Like the title says, I would honestly recommend this to all levels of gardeners! It works AMAZING when you mix it in some soil for better drainage. I’m currently using it as an indoor growing medium, but I’m very excited to try this in my outdoor garden this summer!

It’s worth every penny! I will definitely recommend this to all my friends & family that garden!

The block is super compact which is great in terms of how much you get or long it will last you but very inconvenient in terms of using it. I have tried a saw, a knife, random screw drivers and sharp objects but couldn’t break off a piece. The only way to do it is to dip a side of it in water and then scrap it off once it’s moistened. The product itself is great but next time I’ll be getting the small disks.
