| It seems that all of us growing in coir have vastly different experiences. My coir is not soggy AT ALL and dries out quite quickly; in fact, good GROUND coir holds an average of 70% AIR. I have lots of air pockets when mixing with other media (dynarock, charcoal, perlite and tree fern) and have grown many different types of orchid in the same mix.
Maybe we should start a 'Coir Thread' and we can post pictures of what our coir looks like wet and dry, as well as the brand name and where we got it.
Sandra have you ever thought of trying Aussie Gold and customizing it yourself with other additives to fit Florida's climate??
