Okay, so generally it's about half the price.
50# should make 5 tubs then, 5 tubs of BK costs ME about ~$5
5 coir bricks in bulk would be ~$11.50.
Less than half price is good, can't be much off that.
Thank you

It indeed works, IMO it's as easy as it gets. I'm not trying to advocate against coir, I just think it should be considered next to it. I'm just a horseshit messenger. Lol. pun intended!

I would urge you to dump it out into something, and break it up, if it seems super wet, clumpy, add a quart of verm at a time, till it gets more airy. But, do what feels best, it's pretty forgiving.

I hear it works extremely well. Usually I use shit from race horses but as you can imagine it's more expensive.

PE clone test.
And this is an isolate from an agar pin from a ape culture that doesnt throw ape characteristics. Look closely, this is an amazing isolate.

Just here to post saying... damn. I'm surprised I haven't heard about this earlier. Good work here! My only issue would be that I can only get black kow a few months a year at best.

Can you also ask them to do better QC in terms of sticks? I used BK 1:1:1 with coir and verm for a year and I'm just not switching to coir and verm only becasue I got sick of sorting through and pulling out all the garbage from the BK by hand.
If y'all look through my photos, I used the 1:1:1 mix (with a little gypsum) successfully for the vast majority of my grows

I still leave the sticks, big ones I will chuck. Something cool about a stick wrapped in myc.

Yeah they don't care about sticks. Their main purpose is a soil amendment, they aren't targeted to us. People that are putting it in the dirt aren't gonna have a problem with some little sticks

I know for me, I try to not put too much thought into growing. Sometimes I find myself imposing what I think is best, a good example for me is leveling the tub, fungi probably don't give a fuck, so I dont. Thats just my opinion though.lol.
