Another pointer here for Romi, remember the first time u gave me Grindals, you also gave me a bag of cocopeat, I have been using the same throughout without any problems. i only washed it the first time, now i just dump in the dry cocopeat and mist it. Works.

That was washed and rinsed cocopeat vishaal. I have given it away several times... but it needs a lot of patience to rinse for several days and dry. I do it mostly... but Iwas lazy and did not do it everytime. I have a lot of it even now soaking... what a lotof work Icould have avoided if knew a reliable brand.

The worst part is when you have used it in a pot and realise later that u didn't soak that batch. A lot of work to redo it...sigh.
