Originally used it mixed in my soil blend then started using it as a base for my worm bin. It lasted a lot long than other materials with the worms. They really seemed to like the texture. When its in stock, I order!

The stuff they have at Camelot is a completely different animal. It is a lot better grade it’s more money but it’s worth it I’m still having a hard time with the stuff that I got from you guys my plants want to die. I’ve got one right now turning yellow. I think yours needs washed more and we did wash it again but I don’t wash the stuff from Camelot at all it’s already clean clean clean

Ours is Unbuffered! We only offer RAW where as most of the Coco Coir that comes on the market is charged with Chilean Nitrate or other fertilizer chemicals to help balance the coir. When using coir to mix soil, we take care of that using Organic products, but if using this coco straight up, you'll have to account for that. I Hope this helps!!! Thanks for the feedback for sure.

All the other brands coco textures feel too… idk, fine and soily in comparison. This looks and feels like shucked coconuts in a bag. It’s great. I’m building soil with it.

I love that this product is so clean and pure. I sub coco instead of peat in my garden.overall it works great but you have to be mindful as in my experience coco holds water better than peat. Since this stuff is so fibrous and raw it will hold onto water even more so. the stuff I typically work with from the bricks is a bit more fine so I had to tune my methods a bit. I definitely overwatered because I didn’t take that into account so if you get this keep that in mind. I would love to try a finer version of this product as I do think the quality is Amazing. Imo it is a must to pre mix this and have it ready to be transplanted in a week or two before so it can really meld together.

Amazing texture and moisture retention. Instead of using perlite we decided to go with volcanic pumice.

Just like everything else here, this product is natural and organic. I use it in my urban worm bin and as mulch. It really holds moisture well Which should help keep my plants happy for a few days before watering again.

The coco is beautiful and inviting, toss some plants in! I'm also using a bit to add into my worm bin until I have some better suited material. Great stuff!

I'm so happy that I stumbled upon this is almost purely long fiber coco coir. It is totally different from brick coco, which is wayyy muddier and full of dust and all small pieces that pack and require perlite. Even after tedious rinsing/filtering of brick coco, it doesn't come near the structure of this Conibo. So far I'm loving this as a hydroponic medium. I added perlite but it's probably unnecessary. Ultra draining; perfect for high frequency fertigation and allows you to push run off through without oversaturating the roots with low oxygen water.

This is the best coco Ive used so far. It is very few coco products on the market that are mostly fiber & washed/rinsed thoroughly. Most other coco products are mainly shredded pith with few fibers & filled with salts from poor rinsing. This is the opposite! It has long fibers with only a small amount of pith & rinsed really good with a super low EC. I mix with peat moss and have had outstanding results. Buy a bag & see 4 urself!

Great product. Comes raw and fluffed. I didn't have to let it soak and fluff it myself. Mixes well with soil and so far so good as far as water retention goes.

I cut this into my regular enriched mix at about 50% to make soil blocks for seed starting and cloning. It also works great as a mulch layer if you're out of straw.

Smells and looks better than any coir I’ve seen. It Is unwashed and has salts as clearly stated in the bag so needs to be washed with Calmag before use. Definitely a primo product.

I just set up a pair of 8-gallon LOS bags for an auto grow and used the Conibo coir for the mulch layer. This product is worlds apart from conventional coir products. First, it is pre-expanded, so ready to use out of the bag. It is also shredded to lengths of 1-2 inches, so it is easily distributed and supplemented, where necessary. When watered, it condenses slightly and creates a solid, porous layer. It's both easy to manipulate, and gives a "finished" look to your grow bags (nothing to do with living soil, but I dig the aesthetics!). There is a small percentage (2-3%) of loose, solid material, some of it almost spongy-like. But, this is minor and easily removed with a quick once-over. I give it 4 stars (so far) based on first impressions, and will return to modify once I've seen how it holds up under actual grow conditions.
