How to use our Organic Coir Blocks.
1. Place the 5kg coir compost bale into a wheelbarrow or large watertight container and add 15 litres of water. The bale should expand in front of you as it soaks up the water - it is fun to watch!
2. Once the water has soaked half way up the bale, flip the bale over and allow water to soak into the other side. Don’t worry if part of the base falls off as you flip it - just make sure you catch it in the container!
3. Allow the water to soak right through the bale. To help the process, break up the bale with your hands and add more water to any dry areas.
4. Continue to fluff up the coir with your hands and add more water if necessary until a rich compost consistency has been created.
Once you've done all this, you can use the coir compost as you would normal compost - to fill pots and containers or to add to the soil.
