Hello Fred, I can remember the day the first commercial coco peat was offered to us as an alternative to our expensive Siberian or Newzealnd peats...

I have used coco peat & chunks, & had reasonable success in my mixes.. I haven't had any salt problems, but I do leach the product in water for a week or 3 to remove some of the tannins etc...

I find it most useful as it eventually begins to compost a little... Prior to this I find it is ok as a pretty neutral additive, but it can become water repelling if allowed to become too dry...
