Umm? I dont know exacally what coir is so could someone tell me what it is made of so I dont buy the wrong stuff? they have like 10 different types of reptile bedding at one place.
Sup bro?
Well, coir is one the cheapest thing u will find it at a garden center, it's coconut shell dust. Just look harder and u will find. Well, at least here in Brazil i can find in almost every garden center. Good luck.

Flake off chunks of the big block. A 'brick' is about 22 ounces worth.

Well, you will get better results faster if you measure it somehow instead of guessing. $5 kitchen scale would be fine. But it's up to you.

Sounds good, If my math is right I should be bang on 7.5L finished +1L verm + 1L Coffee 9.5L total + 5L spawn. Sounds about right to me. Let you know how it goes.
(Mental note next time cut the brick with a skill saw not an exacto knife) (HOLY SNAP THAT IS TUFF STUFF)

Well let me tell you how bad I messed up. lol I didn't really realize how much this stuff was going to expand until it was too late. I cut off 1/8th of the brick and put it into 4L of water and within about 1 min It sucked up all the water and filled the pot to the brim. :O I stirred it around a bunch then dumped it into a 15L tote and mixed in (premix of 1L of verm 1L spent coffee) Mixed that around a bunch and put the lid on the tote. I am now waiting for it to cool down it is really hot my arm was starting to sweat when I was stirring above it lol. I don't think I messed up the sub I just messed up by not realizing that I was making more than I could hold in the pot. Think it will be ok?

So should I re-heat this stuff before I use it or will it be ok the way it is?
