Coconut Fiber = Coir?

#473084 - 11/28/01 11:21 PM (22 years, 11 days ago)

hey folks-

i'm going to order some vermiculite and some of those terrariums (normally used for cuttings or seedlings) from DH, and thought about ordering some of that coconut fiber for casing.

does anyone know if coconut fiber is the same thing as coconut coir and if i can use it for casing? if so, how much do i need? (they're selling it in 1lb bricks)

thanks. take care!

at about a 1/2 inch depth, one brick has enough to cover about 24 4x8 areas. this is extrapolated though. because about 1/2 of 1/3rd of a brick did 4 4x8 casings at about 1/2 inch. so 4x8= 32 in^2 x 24 = 768 in^2 = 5.333333 sq feet. thus i guess creating about 384 cubic inches of casing
