My findings about coir

From: "?goston J?nos" agoston.janos at citromail.hu> on 2005.12.18 at 10:03:27(13612) Dear All, Coir (or cocopeat at us) is commercially available about 5 years now in Hungary, but nobody has been doing any researches about suitability for bulbs, garden use or anything. My biggest finding is: it will loose from its texture if its well watered and frozen, becouse of the 8% volume increment of the water (when it turns into ice). So I may not let it moist if I want to preserve the structure. The other thing is mice love to live in it if it's dry, because it's warm, and hydrofobe.
