I have a question about this coco roll thing

[Guest guest]

I was looking at the Home Depot online site and I found this item. Exactly how

is this different than the brick that I bought (it's much more money but I

gather it is for many batches of whatever you are growing). If you cut this to

fit a pie plate, what do you then do, just soak it in water and stick it in the

pie plate?

This sounds MUCH more convenient that rehydrating the coco brick thing. Not so

messy.

Am I correct that this is what one does with this item. Just cut, soak and fit

and plant seeds?

Thanks much. I'm just asking because I like to know various options that I might

have.

Thanks much

NOOOO-read the description-it is made from plastic! As I suggested, the coco

liners are MUCH easier to uee-easy to cut to fit, no soaking.

Mel,

It is more money and if you cut round holes for pie plates, you will have left

over corners.

Do you buy mushrooms? They come in little blue foam containers. Use two of

them. Punch some drain holes in one and put your coir piece in it. Set it into

the other one. Put a lid of a jar or something between them for drainage. The

top one becomes your growing vessel and the bottom, your saucer.

ew

I don't buy mushrooms. I don't like the idea of fungus in my body. Been doing

GREAT so far without buying mushrooms. So are you saying that if I buy some

fresh mushrooms, the thing they are sitting on becomes part of my pie plate.

Now I'm confused. Or are you talking about the mushroom container itself

becoming the thing I grow sprouts in? What coir piece are you talking about?
