Currently waiting for an order of coconut coir growing medium to arrive. Will try growing my plants in this versus soil. My primary soil less gardening method has been hydroponics and I would transplant to soil when I need the space to grow something else.
I am not using the brand mentioned in the video below which has a short femonstation of how it's packaged. It expands by absorbing a lot of water. Another benefit of the compressed brick form is that it's much lighter than carrying a huge bag of soil.
