Royal Coco Peat Premium Organic Coconut Coir Peat Moss Soil Conditioner/Substitute (5 KG Coco Block)

I am using this as a soil additives to retain moisture of potting soils. The product works well. I usually shop with another trusted vendor but his product is sold out for the rest of season so I gave this a try. I noted this "brick" is loosely compact and I have no problem using it quickly after it's been moisture saturated. However, because it's loosely compacted. I am averaging 25% - 30% less materials than other comparable product on amazon at the same compressed weight. I use a 2 cu ft potting soil fix size bag as a metric to compare for volume after expansion. In other words, same cost for compress weight, but less product means that it's more expensive. Great packaging. Might kept sourcing other brand for now due to large discrepancy in saturated volume.

I purchased this product, 5 blocks of 5 kilograms of coco coir, from seller COCO COIR PEAT in late August of 2020. What I received on 8/27/2020 was not the product as it appears in the description, with a label, but just an underweight block weighing only 3.141 kilograms (see pictures). On 8/28 I received 2 more, both underweight, at 3.6 and 4.1 kg. I have yet to receive the remaining 2 blocks, but will return those as well if they too are underweight. I use a lot of coco coir every growing season in my plant nursery (perhaps 25 5-kg blocks total), and this defect is delaying my work. Shame on Coco Coir Peat for sending defective and underweight products. I will never make the mistake of purchasing from this company again.

Seems like a very competitive price for a product that is difficult to screw up. It is basic coconut coir, dried and highly compressed. Hydrate it and it's just like any other coir product. I suppose it could have had impurities and extraneous matter in it, but it didn't. I've used one other coir product that cost about $1 more for the same 5 kg. So this is a no-brainer. I use it to make my own potting soil by mixing vermiculite and compost with it. And my plants cannot tell the difference between this product and the previous one that I bought. Thumbs up.

Our vegetables are growing! The Royal Coco Peat Premium Organic Coconut Coir Peat Moss Soil Conditioner (phew, let's just call it RCPPOCCPMSC?) really did help retain moisture, and provided great conditions for growth. Easy to apply, all as expected. Hope this short review helps you.

I've tried several brands and for me this is the best one yet-easy to re-hydrate not much trash in it and no chemical smell and easy to flake off the block with a large screwdriver. I use this to start seedlings in and to transplant I mix it with my soil. I have grown plants just in coir then you have to feed them since there's no nutrients in coir. I make my own compost and mix this in to lighten up the soil. Much better than peat in my opinion.

One brick of this coconut coir is enough to overflow a standard size wheelbarrow once its rehydrated. It holds moisture well and distributes it to the root system evenly. It is also great to keep grass seedlings hydrated. I use this stuff for so many things in my garden! This is a great brand, and a good value. I'll be back for more next year!

This is great and much better than I expected. Used it for my pet bed and potting mix. Diversified and very clean. This is much better than some other brand I used before. This is some amazing product. I love how it expands as is promised. This is an example how brands are different. This Brand came very clean when other brands I bought were not usable in the home.WELL DONE !!!

Very good quality product. It didn't seem to have as much volume as bricks I'd bought in the past. Decent value
