GROW!T JSCC2 - Organic Coco Coir Planting Chips (9 LBs), Block - Promotes Growth tropical flowers and plants, Perfect for indoor or outdoor usage

I use the coconut coir to fill the bottom of my above ground bags for the expansion as well as moisture retention. The coconut coir also helps with ventilation and the roots not staying too wet. I will buy this again! Works very well, I am pleased with this product.

This has been the best coco mulch I have tried so far. It is less compacted than some bricks but expands to the same volume. It had no foreign plant particles and only a couple small pieces of plastic, less yhan others I have tried. It is also the only mulch brick so far that has been zero dust. The fibers are thick and consistent and it was definitely mulch and not coir. I am mixing it with some other mulch as a bedding for my high humidity snakes as it is resistant to mold and fungus while holding humidity well. This is also why dust matters to me. Great for the price too!

This was the first time we used this product and i will start by saying it’s interesting. First of all we realized you definitely have to let it sit a bit and it will expand so that was a positive! We used this product with plants on our patio garden this year and don’t know if it’s coincidence or what but we got an excellent harvest!! Awesome!! The plants retained an even moisture while draining well- Another positive!! We also noticed there didn’t seem to be quite as many pests around the plants as in past seasons - again could be coincidental but will chalk that up to a positive as well. So being that we had a good experience with this product- we will buy it and use again. We found our experience with Grow!it Coco Coir Chips to be positive!!

This chunky stuff is great for topping off potted tropicals, but too chunky, I think, for tilling in as an aerator in a garden. There are much finer grinds that are good for that. It is a big 11 lb. compressed block in a sturdy plastic bag and it swells to an amazing degree. Just bust off as much as you want to use and put it in a bucket and hose it down. Once you get it all swollen, change out that water and figure out how many more of these you're gonna need. Sometimes I rehydrate mine with rainwater and put it all around my banana trees or my tomato plants. It sure looks pretty all wet, strategically placed in a favorite bed. This company ships fast and AMZL delivered it in 2 days.

I use this as bedding for my reptiles (it's generic reptichip) and my spouse uses it as mulch cover for the garden to retain humidity. It's awesome for both purposes. Holds humidity well without molding. The large chunks thatch together so that even if an animal spills their water bowl over they themselves stay dry while the water stays underneath them. It's the best reptile bedding around really. I can line about 9-11, 41 qt sterilite tubs per block at a decently generous depth. The blocks themselves are heavily compressed and lightweight so they don't take up much space and are easy to move around. Ive been buying this regularly for years now. Great stuff.

I was thankful to finally find one of these that didn’t smell like mold after receiving (other brands I’ve had that issue) The price seems fair for what you get, this will work for a lot of planting.

The product is very nice, the packing is so tight I have to use a screw driver or another stout pointy object to break it lose to get it out of the bag. Would give a 5 star if it was packed a little loser in a larger bag to make it easier to get out. Over all, great product!!

I know a few reviews have said this stuff is more fiber than coco coir chips, so I bought with caution. But as it turned out, the bag I got was definitely more chips than fiber! I’m fact, it has a higher chip-to-fiber ratio than ANY reptile-branded coco chip I have used … even though those reptile-branded products were two or three times the price of this big cube! The chips were small, most about a half inch across, which is perfect for what I need (ball python bedding). And, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT. I never knew that coco chips were able to expand like the fine-ground coco coir soil does. But when you have more coir chips than fiber, WOW. DOES IT EVER EXPAND! I chopped off the top 3 1/2” of the block (roughly), and hydrated the whole slab. The result was just under 15 qt. of fluffy bedding! My goodness, this stuff is going to last a whole lot longer than the other brands I’ve purchased. I’m already buying a second block! So, maybe the amount of fiber you get is just luck of the draw. That’s kind of a shame, but the block I ended up with is seriously going to save my tail end a lot of work.
