This is directly from Bod's bucket tek with emphasis added by me:

These numbers are what I use but each person will have a different experience. It's a VERY GOOD idea to check field capacity rather than assume the recipe you follow will translate to your house 100% perfectly.

...............

Remember to check your field capacity. if it's too wet you can add some vermiculite right from the bag, or wring it out as you go. If it's too dry simply add more water(room temperature tap works fine) keep notes so you can hit it dead on next time.

Where if you're alone, you know, you either come through it or you die, but in any case you avoid the fuss.'"

Most here don`t get the point, what replyom asked for.

He said, he used the same brand and batch, the same amount coir and water,
and came to very different results of field capacity.

If my coir is too wet I put it in a bucket with holes at the bottom and just press the water out. My first time I squeezed every handful, lol.




Of course that`s also my prefered method.
If i`d do 8 liters with my hands, i could have pins in that time :biggrin:
