but yea can purchase big bags of it not compressed at all, with no trich added..atleast i can here..



I can agree with this.  I think what it comes down to is where your located geographically.  I.E., I can't get pre-bagged coir anywhere where I'm located and if I could, I would be sure to read the labeling for added trichoderma. 

IME, Even a brand name of coir named BEATSPEAT that's available to me, comes compressed, is treated with trichoderma, and isn't labeled that it's treated with trichoderma.  Found that one out the very hard way and at the numbers I was running, there was no way 100% of my grain spawn was contaminated. 

The safest bet is to source lizard substrate, compressed, coco-coir as used in Damion5050's coir tek is the point I'm trying to make,

LMAO! you crack me up....
_______________________________________

As for the trich thing. I think he got a lil confused about which bag I was referring to. I was not asking about the ultra coir bag blend anymore, but about the coco fiber form the netherlands.

Idk what to do now!! haha. I can certainly buy fiber bricks but I didnt like the craters it left when I pulled my shrooms which is why I now search for "coir" but maybe I need a different brand of lizard bedding, like a finer one.

Thanks for your help guys, youve all been great help at helping decide.

B'Cuzz Coco is the only coir product available through the hydroponics industry that undergoes a unique steaming and buffering process, resulting in an optimized, premium quality hydroponic growing medium.
Certified Organic.




I keep reading peat on the some of the descriptions. Problem is that the b'cuzz bag is in a completely different language so there is no way I can tell what really is in it and I dont thing the guy at the hydro store know 100% either.

Coco substrate is light and stable and is one of the best mediums for providing oxygen to the roots of the growing plants. Atami coco substrates are internationally certified by RHP, a foundation whose aim is to optimize the quality of peat and coconut fiber products, raw growing materials, and soil products (improvers)




So Ill just drop the question and just try to find bricks for animals I guess.

Thanks again peeps!

I emailed the Atami B'cuzz company to ask, lol. We'll see if they say anything about it having other things aside from pure coco.

Im still considering the coco bag  because I think it would be better than buying 1-2 pound bricks for 5 bucks each at petsmart.

One more question...Is there a fluffy coco fiber/coir bulk tek?
Or would I just measure out 2 gallons worth of it as if I hydrated a brick?

Treat fluffy coir the same as coir bricks that you hydrated yourself.  Be sure the coir out of the bag's at field capacity and pasteurize it properly since it's already broken up for you.  Measure the coir as if it were a brick that you hydrated. 

Petsmart is a rip-off on coco-coir.  The one in my neighborhood also only has the single brick for 5 bucks.  Do you have a Petco in your area?  They carry the 3  packs of the Eco-Earth brand coco-coir for 10 bux a piece. 

Other then that, visit http://www.drsfostersmith.com/ and click on the reptile supplies selection.  See if they'll deliver to you.  They have the Eco-Earth coco-coir brand for 6.99 a three pack.

I bought both of Eco Earth's 3 brick pack and the big bag of loose coco fiber from Petco :grin:. The bag definitely looks ground up nicely with barely any stringyness to it but the bricks seem like a better buy. Both priced the same, but we'll see which performs better. So Im going to try both in bulk simultaneously and Ill let you guys know how they both do.

Thanks again guys! great help!
