What Do You Think Of Coconut Coir
Floral Architecture (Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:49:18 PDT)

I have used coco coir - sold as cocogrow - as a mulch on my veggie garden. The
tomotoes doubled in size in a week of applying it. Cocogrow is an organic
product. It is processed 18 months vs the 6 months most companies do. There is
no salt that I have witnessed. Since it is inert. It needs fertilizer added if
it is to be used solely as a potting mix.

I have  not used it for any of my bulbs. I would think it would be best suited
to those bulbs that require extra water, such as the riparian Hymenocallis, rain
lilies, etc. Things that need a seasonal dry period might remain too wet. This
is only a suggestion since I haven't tried it myself.

I do know that it makes a great bedding for pets - such as turtles, reptiles,
etc. Friends have used it and are very happy.
