I have introduced coir too, so trying that.
good point Jan,

Reece not slow at all, you would have to check contents because even some coco coir has additives or nutrients unless you get natural. My elderly ma says its not the same as in the war - good healthy home spun soil.

now its a mix and if left long enough mushrooms will grow on it, or weeds in the actual bag as it has loads of fungal spores in anyway.
