Get ready to go loco with our premium grade A compressed coco coir blocks. These are ready to grow. Just add water, and it is ready to mix with your soil. It can be mixed with fertilizer or other amendments to make soil for the garden, containers, or even seed starting!
What is coco coir?
Coco coir is made from coconuts, just coconuts! It is a byproduct of the coconut industry. Coconut husks are ground down and compressed into blocks that behave precisely like soil and can replace peat moss. Typically, it needs to be rinsed before being used to flush out salt, but ours is triple-washed, so there's no need!
Approximate yield/block dimensions / Weight:
2 Cu Ft. (11"x11"x4" approximately) / 9 pounds Compressed
3 Cu Ft. ( 11"x11"x5.25" approximately) / around 11 pounds compressed
Each block will yield approximately 2-3 Cu. Ft. once fully expanded
*Cannot be shipped outside of the US. Only 5 per order.*
I bought Loco Coco Coir to make my own potting soil, for the first time. It worked great! The one regret is that I should have purchased 2, it went out of stock and I bought some locally. The ones I got locally were smaller and did not rehydrate as well as the Loco Coco Coir.
I really would like to leave a good review, but the blocks had mold on the inside of the packaging which I thought wouldn't impact my seedlings. Silly me. I had to completely replant my seeds with store bought seed starting mix due to the previous trays developing mold and dampening off. It wasn't due to overwatering as I had some damp "soil" left from the coco coir blocks that I left in a bucket and it also developed mold. Hopefully baking the coco coir blocks will kill the mold for next year.
Everything arrived intact, as expected. Used to make seed starting mix and they have already popped up so I'd say it's working! And I still have so much left so the investment was well worth it for years to come!
Excellent product
block took bit a time to fully open/ absorb water but was great addition to flower pots and boxes.

Trifecta has been my trusted partner in the garden for my vegetables and to start my dahlias. Thank you MI Gardener team!
Fantastic Zucchini!! Very tender tasty and huge :)))
As described. Good germination.
We have nice fertile soil in our greenhouse and able to control those pesty little flea beetles that can decimate eggplants foliage. I've been keeping them under control with DE and my eggplants are massive in size, about 3-4 feet tall with 1 foot lower leaves.
The eggplants fruit are developing nicely, nearly doubling in size daily. There are plenty of blossoms too. We're expecting that we won't need to grow more for a few years, we're planning on freeze drying most if them.
I purchased several packs of seeds from MiGardener during the semi annual sale, and they did not disappoint! Nearly 100 percent germination rate on all seeds I've planted. The only thing I haven't been able to germinate is lemon grass, which I'm learning may 1 take a very long time to germinate in general and 2 need bottom heat to help them sprout. Even without being on sale 2 bucks a seed pack for the amount they give (very generous compared to other companies, I might add) is a crazy good deal. If you have been on the fence, I encourage you to give MiGardener seeds a try! Thank you Luke and team, and Happy Gardening to all!
