I'm coo-coo for CoCo....... Coir

[MiHale]

On a cold rainy day what better than to spend it in a 75 degree greenhouse rehydrating coco coir?

Willie Nelson’s Birthday set the stage warding off the “boredom” rinsing the block coir.
Three 10 pound compressed blocks. Water, patience, meditation it was a great day!

It takes about 20 gallons of water to completely rehydrate a block.
And about a half hour of meditation.



Gives ya time to also check on the potatoes….they are finally breaking ground.



I have a two fish net, two bucket, two squeeze method to rinse the coco. Scoop into one, squeeze out excess water, let drain further over bucket, get another going, go back to first, squeeze out excess water, place in bin. Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat…




Yes, it looks like “Bovine Re-conditioned Grass”. But no odor. Fun, fun, fun!




Here’s the setup.





Tomorrow tick control. Again!
