I’ve heard their bagged stuff is good, but unsure of the brick.
There is pretty much 0 info about their bricks, like if they are buffered etc. on the packaging.

When using brick coco, always assume it’s not buffered. Better safe than sorry.

If they can’t communicate clearly and thoroughly about what they’re selling, it’s a pass for me, with any company.

I’ve used the bricks. Kinda coffee ground like, I added vermiculite and now I added coco chips instead.
To buffer I just run my water through it then add a diluted nute mix. Never had problems with the coco.

When I used the finer coir, theirs was good.
I for myself, and my bastardized ways, found the coco husks, to be far better value.
I can reuse it many more times, and then once placed in the outdoor raised beds, I get a bunch more years use from husks.
When I hydrate them, I make a batch of ReCharge tea, and hydrate the husks. Then when adding the Dr.Earth goodies, so much less dust, as the goodies stick to the husks. I then add a portion of compost, large chunk perlite.
I’m old and need light weight items to move around until I fill my pots.

Yes and it has worked great for me. I flip between mother earth, botanicare, and roots organic with zero issues from any of them. I like to read through the manufacturers site though, since they made it and know exactly what they do to it… their charged coco has nutes and the regular coco doesnt.
