Eco terra coco coir?

hunter420 · 10-26-09, 14:16

I just got this coco coir from the pet store and it's called exoterra compressed coco husk. Any one use it? Anyone heard of it is it good or the same as all the others? Pretty cheap at 3.99$ a brick anyways I would appreciate a lil feedback thanx

That's the brand I'm using, works like a charm.

Beastmaster · 10-26-09, 15:30

Yep, that's the stuff.

Thre365ive · 10-26-09, 16:55

Just fine. I've had it before. AFAIK, any coir that you get at a pet store should be just fine.

designlogic · 10-26-09, 17:01

Yea that's the stuff

MycoRunner · 10-26-09, 19:09

Ditto what everyone else said.

3.99! I got a brick of coir and it was 14.99 for some reason.

Ouch, you got burned on that one, unless it was huge. Sorry, man.

kcmoxtractor · 10-27-09, 01:03

Was it one brick or a bundle of three?

Psoulocybe · 10-27-09, 01:15

I get the 3 pack bundles from time to time and it's usually $9.99 for 3.... can't beat it.

Croc hunter on zoo-tube used both Eco-earth and Eco-terra, both are working fine for his new roo's review. the crazy Kanga also used eco-terra loose reptile bedding that had 1/2 inch square chunks of coco coir in it. The chunks that they missed during hydration all sprouted nice fruits like their pop corn did, go figure.

All were pastureized prior to use.

Coir is all they case with now...

Go Phillies!

If you are using a lot of coir, 10 and 15 pound bales can be acquired for less than $20 on eBay and at most hydroponic/grow stores.

I use the same stuff works great mycellium loves it!!!

So does green pin mold so be careful with FAE

Coir in itself will almost never contaminate. Usually the spawn/substrate will be the cause of baddies, IME.

I have been ordering from Dr's Foster and Smith website. Recently they had a 3-pack on sale for 4.49...regular price is 5.99. And, they just instituted a 5.99 flat rate shipping policy. They are fast too. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...94&pcatid=6494
