The blocks of coir are quite cheap and you can get a big bag of them in the post. When it's dry this stuff weighs next to nothing. The topsoil is very heavy to cart about too.
When I change the substrate the mix is ideal to put on the garden . Complete with some tortoise poops!

Yes I put the old substrate on the garden too.
