[QUOTE="Konstantin, post: 223482, member: 30996"] Hi I used to get coco fiber in 60 liter loose packs.It was convenient as it comes dry.It has the disadvantage of being in good and bad batches as some developed yellow mould as soon as it touches water and others were just fine. Used sedge peat mixed with vermiculite too. Now I am using plain top soil mixed with vermiculite (3:1 )and find it to retain moisture better,to be fairly consistent in nature(you get some batches that are a bit sandy but not to the point that it matters)Also dirt cheap.lol Down side being that there is little colour change between wet one and damp one and is more difficult to tell difference unlike coco fiber Regards Konstantin [/QUOTE]
