How can wee get it cheap? The best I have been able to do is a somewhat
smallish brick at the 99¢ store. What if I wanted 20 pounds or 10 kilos?

g'day salmon egg,

surely mushroom compost from a mushroom farm would be more economical,
as it comes ready to use the way i use it, can't see coir stuff having
much in the line of nutrients in it?

funny in some industries hey they create a bi-product that normally
they have to pay to have disposed of then they try to find a market
for the stuff so save costs but then they charge and arm and a leg for
the stuff, talk about wanting their cake and eating it too??

we get 16 kilogram (i think) bags of it over here for $2.50AUD

That sounds like a good price.

I do not need plant nutrition. My use of coir is as a part root medium for
hydroponics. All the nutrition is applied with totally (well almost)
inorganic chemicals. I believe hydroponics is popular in .au land.

g'day bill,

ther seems to be a fair following of hydroponics over here.

for me it's just not naturally organic enough, and if all things go
wrong probably not that sustainable as it is a false medium used for
growing, but for those with very limited space and noi garden area i
can see the benefits.

I am not a great fan of organic gardening. Unless you do "green energy"
exclusively, you are using fossil fuel energy in various ways. You might as
well use it to produce the inorganic chemicals plants thrive on. I will
stake (no pun intended) for taste against any grown by "organic" methods.
