It works really well for orchids.

This is pretty wild, I would like to hear some opinions about this.
I recently got something from a site I buy food and supplies for my
frogs called Repta-bedding (or something to that effect). It is
sopposed to be 100% pure coconut husk fibers. It comes in a small
2lb brick that when soaked well in warm water for about an hour
becomes this mass of
material
that can easily fill up your average kitchen sink. Its designed as
a
bedding
for reptiles and amphibians, its soft and holds moisture very well.
Dark brown and very rich in texture, not at all abrasive. In fact
its VERY
much
like peat moss. It was also very cheap. That gave me an idea. I
used my
soil
test kit and tested it for Ph. I did this twice, came back 6.5-7.0
both times. Sounds so far like an excellent medium as a seed
starter. At
least to
me. I plan to experiment with this some...

Anyone doing this? Any thoughts, conjectures about the pros and
cons?

So, um, what do you do with coconut fiber?

I use it as a back scratcher, myself. It works pretty well... and
that ain't the only thing it can scratch ....
