This compressed coconut husk chip brick is made from 100% natural, sustainably harvested coconut husk, a rapidly renewable peat-free alternative to standard soil amendments and mulch. Weighing just 1.1 lbs. when dry, each brick expands to roughly 7 qt. of fluffy, airy substrate after being soaked in water. It can revitalize existing garden soil or potting mix, improving aeration, drainage, and moisture retention to foster healthier root growth. It also doubles as a weed-suppressing mulch to enhance the natural aesthetic of indoor or outdoor garden spaces. Versatile for use with orchids, herbs, vegetables and other plants, it replaces chunky perlite, pine bark mulch and orchid bark for flexible gardening applications. Its compact, lightweight design makes storage and transport simple, with straightforward preparation that only requires soaking to loosen into a usable growing medium.
