Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 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.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 That's good enough for me. But why don't you have to soak the liners?

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 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.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The purpose of soaking the brick of coir is to soften it enough to make it pliable-the liner already is pliable, lol. > > > > 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.

Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 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. > > > > 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.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 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 Melody > > > > > > 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.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Mel, I suggest a fingerling banana tree in your living room! I did that one year-GREAT fun. Only got a couple of tiny lil nanners, but still fun! Sent from my iPad > Oh, this is so exciting.
