Mike - Have you tried the coir bricks that come apart in small chunks rather than fiber? A friend who got them by mistake gave me a bunch of them, and I haven't given this form of coir much of a try. -- Bill

P.S. I have found it important to dry out the coir fiber for storage. If it stands in a bucket for a while, it gets a kind of mean, sulfur-y smell. So I spread it in a large plastic tray that I got at Home Depot, one that is intended for mixing small batches of concrete or paint or some such, and fluff it until it dries.
