Humusziegel Coco Coir Planting Soil - Pressed Natural Coco Soil for Plants - Peat Briquettes Soil Block Bricks- 6 x 650g, 50 L

Excellent, so easy to work with

Dont quite know what happened - i thought i ordered the 3 pack and only ended up getting 2. The products are fine and are good with peat free compost to add some extra moisture retention, but just unsure why i got less bricks.

Great to store these blocks and only expand it when you need it - saves a lot of space. Would be even nicer if they were smaller - for those situations where you need less at the time! My plants have been thriving and for the first time ever I don't have flies - usually whenever I bought compost from different sellers I would always end up with a fly infestation right after using it. Such a relief to have found this!

After much research, I decided to try coco coir as opposed to standard garden centre soil for two reasons. The first due to storage issues and the second due to a previous infestation of fungus gnats.Having a huge bag of soil sitting out in the shed seems to attract these annoying bugs and, as a result, a couple of plants have been potted with them unknowingly harbouring in the soil!As well as working on other methods to get rid of the fungus gnats (underwatering, cinnamon, etc) I thought it would be a good idea to reconsider my potting medium.I settled with this product because it just seemed a lot less hassle overall. However, with this I also had to purchase perlite and a liquid fertiliser.The only issue I encountered was making up the coco coir. As someone mentioned on one of the reviews for this, this soil solution comes with no English instructions - but is great if you're fluent in German!For that reason, it was a hit and miss prep. The first brick I think I put too much water in and I had to subsequently drain it. However, by the second, I realised that hot water that is just slightly below the level of the brick does the trick.It's early days yet but if this method works, I will be sticking with it and ordering more in the near future. Fingers crossed!

I initially rated this product as two stars because the first brick did not expand in contact with water. However, the second and third did expand quickly. It was fair to change the review. One star off because there are no instructions in English only German. It is not an issue for me but some UK customers would be annoyed.

Very easy to use, fast acting and mixes really well

I bought these soil blocks for my giant Africa land snail as specialist snail soil can be quite expensive even before shipping fees. As Tobi (the snail) has quite a big tank I assumed I would need to use a couple of blocks but one provided more than enough soil depth for spring and summer! The brick did take a long time to absorb the water and I needed to use a good three to four liters of water but appart from that it's a really great product. If you have a slimey friend I highly recommend!

The media could not be loaded.  I've had no problem with this soil as non-expert gardener, mixing it with normal compost and pebbles, great results in the germination and seedlings growth process, from my experience, you can see the difference with havana tobacco plants between the the one in the video and picture, the ones ground-planted had the same mixture bread as a seedlings that I bought them, it's the same plant and soil composition but probably sun exposition and the very compact soil around their hole hhave had a bigger say.
