Awful Product

I've used this for years and this has got to be a quality issue...I have had it sitting in water for 3+ hours and one of 9 bricks expanded. I had to take a shovel to break bricks apart and then use hands to break down further...will be looking for alternatives

awful product

This does not absorb water at all. I had to sit and pick apart the bricks with my hands and a knife and it still was not soaking up the water. Biggest waste of money. I’m extremely unhappy with this product and will not be recommending this or buying this ever again. The eco earth bricks by zoo med were much better and I’m upset that they no longer carry them.

Does this ever expand?

I bought a few packages of the (3) bricks Hands down the worst coir bricks I’ve come across. I don’t know how long will be waiting for this stuff to expand? The price was too good to be true.

Solid bricks

I ordered three of these because I needed a lot for some projects, worst decision and waste of my money. I did exactly as the instructions told but they won't dissolve into dirt at all, and I can barely split them into layers, even after they've soaked for over a week.

NOT HAPPY!!!

This soil i was told was great. It is not!!! The package says it will take 30 minutes to dissolve all three blocks. I only need one currently and it is 8:49 pm where i live and i started at 1:30 pm and IT STILL HASNT DISSOLVED INTO DIRT!!! nothing will even come off of the block!! I have tried cold water and boiling hot water and NOTHING has worked!!!

Defective soil

Have bought for 9 years. Always expands fully within 30 mins. The last 2 orders do not expand at all. Remain a solid brick. Absorbing the water but never breaking apart. Chewy sent a replacement and the replacement was defective as well. Chewy issued a refund.

If u’re wanting soil

This is great if ur wanting soil. It is time consuming but worth it. Takes a few days to dry out.. but perfect for moist hides. I find I prefer coco fiber. It’s less messy. But the soil is nice quality. 1 brick makes a bucket of soil

If I could rate it 0/5, I would.

I've purchased these before and I was impressed.... but something changed and not for good. I soaked the first block for 3 days and it was still ROCK HARD. The second block i poured boiling water on and let it sit until the water was cool enough to touch, still rock hard and extremely difficult to separate. I ended up throwing them away.

Horrible product

This stuff does not expand when soaked even for hours and hours. I had to use a chisel to separate the brick. Spent 2 hours breaking the bricks up by hand. This product should be pulled.
