Out of interest, how do composts based on coir perform? Are they as
prone to degrading to impermeable humus as peat, or do the coir fibres
help maintain an open structure?

I'm using coir now, with very little peat. Seems to have all the same
problems. Perlite helps, lots of it. Wish I could get composted pine
bark here, I've found a place but it's a 3 hour drive (each way) and of
course they're closed for 6 weeks this summer!
