Coco coir substrate

[Alan1]

I only read the first line of the first post Bev, I have a habit of doing that at times .. it was How many people use coco coir as their only substrate?

[becciwales]

I now, as of today, use coco coir as my only substrate

[Alan1]

I find it's easier to get rid of than topsoil

Oh and I thought you said a swear word Alan as it looks blanked out like "**** me" ha ha ha,

And where do you get rid of coco coir? I just use topsoil and for the Greeks sharp sand mixed with topsoil x

no that was just me doing the dots ..... because it won't allow you to make a post with just the word 'me' because it's not a big enough word . I'm pretty good at swear words though, I know most if not all of them

I put my old coco coir in the green garden waste bin, it says you are not to put soil in it but coco coir isn't soil

[becciwales]

Would coco coir be compostable? (If that's even a word?!?) I could give it to my uncle if that's the case if not, as I've only got half and half, probably a bin bag would do

[Alan1]

It's biodegradable which is just posh for compostable

[Catwoman63]

and a few choice swear words Alan

[becciwales]

Thank you x

I've just started using coir as i was having major dust issues with soil and sand mix, my boy loves it. Much cleaner for him and lovely and soft. It does need damping down but thats not a problem. He never seemed to dig down before but now he looks really cosy and warm. I would recommend. Sam.
