An easy way to get a small amount of coir to try is just to buy a coir liner at

any garden supply area of a place like Lowes or Home Depot-they sell the liners

for those wrought iron type baskets-they run about 3 bucks for a good sized one,

and you can cut the liner to fit your pie plate without having to soak it. It

is thin and lightweight. Looks like this:

That's good enough for me. But why don't you have to soak the liners?

Are the coconut liners used with soil, or without soil. I'm reading all about

them in planters and someone wrote they use it with soil. I thought the whole

purpose of coir (or the liners) is that you can use them in place of the soil.

The purpose of soaking the brick of coir is to soften it enough to make it

pliable-the liner already is pliable, lol.

For the purpose of a true plant, you would need soil too, but for just a growing

medium for microgreens, the coir will serve just fine with no soil-microgreens

just need something to take root in, and it serves the purpose perfectly.

Oh, this is so exciting. After years of just sprouting my regular seeds, I shall

soon be moving on to Sunflower sprouts.

I wonder what's next? Ah, I know, I'll plant a coconut tree near my living

room window. That will get the neighbors talking.

lol

year-GREAT fun. Only got a couple of tiny lil nanners, but still fun!
