this is cocoa Bliss from plantonics my Amazon driver brought it to me today and I’m excited to get gardening so let’s show you what’s in the box this is coconut qua or core depending on how you like to say it it’s an Armory listed organic product directions are listed here the benefits here including why you want to use this over using a Pete product this has many uses as soil amendment I like it in particular for my self-watering uh planters it comes 1.4 lb five pieces so they’re basically compressed dried bricks of coconut qua you have four bricks going this way and one going this way now the really nice thing about their packaging is they have them individually packed in plastic and it’s sealed nicely so there’s not dust flying all over the place it’s not going to make a mess in your house before you use it also you don’t have to use the whole product at once I’m just going to use this one right now I’m putting the rest in storage for later this season or even for next year or even the year after that right now what I’m going to do is I’m going to show you how you add water to this and reconstitute it to get it ready for your planting so in my limited research I found out you’re actually supposed to pronounce it corya it’s uh an Australian name for the coconut fiber which is a textile so anyway here we are I sped this up a little bit so you wouldn’t have to sit through it the directions are a little bit off it’s says to soak it in water for 30 to 40 minutes before breaking it up but I used 1 gallon of warm water just under 100° and the time lapse is a little under 10 minutes so after uh 8 minutes I actually went in and I could start to break it up you can see you just need to maybe mix it a little bit just to even out the moisture throughout the material but basically it’s ready to go it’ll make a great seed starter and for me I’m going to use it to line the bottom of my self-watering plots
