Coir Bricks Re-Balance Your Compost
Kitchen scraps, lawn clippings and garden waste are the nitrogen-rich "green matter” in a compost pile. For efficient composting they need to be balanced with carbon-rich "brown matter.” Each of these compact bricks of all-natural coconut fiber (coir) expands to make about 2-1/2 dry gallons of carbon-rich, odor-free material. Layer it into your compost pile whenever you add fresh food scraps. Also makes good bedding material for worm composters. Coir is a convenient, compact source of carbon

I have an earthworm compost farm and use coir as the bedding when starting new trays in the bin. The quality of the product from Gardener's certainly equals any I've purchased from other sources and came at a much better price than I've paid so far. Barring any major price hikes, I'll be re-ordering.

Comments about Coir Bricks, Pack of 10:
I bought these bricks to supplement my two compost barrels. Whenever I put a load of kitchen scraps in, I pour some of the brick matter on top and stir with a pitchfork. I put a brick in a large cat litter plastic container, add the water and presto. I keep the container by the compost barrels. Meanwhile, the other bricks are stored nicely on some metal shelving in my pantry.

So easy to store compact bricks and wonderfully easy to use...I keep one brick ready to add to my composting at all times, which is really handy to get the proper balance in my composter. NO ODOR when used with baking soda!

Comments about Coir Bricks, Pack of 10:
The compost from my electric composter is extremely concentrated. I add the contents of one coir brick to a finished batch to make garden-ready compost. It's a messy process: I reconstitute the brick first with water, then mix the wet coir material with my finished compost to create usable garden fertilizer with great consistency. I had hoped to add the coir material directly into the composter as "brown matter" but the dry, hard-packed brick doesn't break apart easily. Perhaps if some directions for how to use the product came with it, it would have helped.
