Chemicals

Grafpb

This coco fiber has a strong chemical smell to it. There is definitely a deodorizer or additive in this. I bought some reptichip from a reptile expo a few days before and it had a clean earthy smell. I also bought some coco fiber from a plant nursery about a week ago and it smelled fine too. I ended up putting zoomed’s coco in a plant pot outside over a week ago and it still has the smell. Zoomed claims it is all natural and it isn’t, so it makes me question zoo med ethically. These chemicals aren’t good for us and they aren’t good for our reptiles.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Petroleum processed, do not use!

Smells of gasoline (petroleum) when you wet it & break it apart. I read this is from cheap processing by the company that makes the bricks

No, I do not recommend this product.

This product is advertised at a 3 brick pack for 7.99 a pack.I was Informed that it was available in the store. My daughter went and purchased 3 of them for me at 7.99 each, only to find out that there was only (1) brick per pack. This was done today Friday, April 5 2024

Perfect for mushroom growing

I use several bricks of this every month to grow mushrooms on. Works great alone or mixed with vermiculite. Highly recommend this brand as it breaks up easy and doesn't have large chunks of fiber.

No, I do not recommend this product.

      Is this OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) certified? Normally certified for food that is in accordance with USDA's as Organic. I want to use it for growing organic vegetables.

      1. 1 year ago
        Being Certified has NOTHING to do with it.. organic means produced from a LIVING thing... the LEGAL definition of "organic" only means that certain ferts and peticides has ever been used on it.. The coir is dead, and offers little in the way of any nutritional benefits to a plant, but its a GREAT medium to use to grow plants IF you are attentive to your plants.. add vermiculite and perlite to it to allow it to drain better, be fluffier and easier for storong healthy roots to grow, and so it will hold the RIGHT amount of moisture for longer than regular earth soil ever could in the same.conditions... and the price is right, at the time i wrote this...
