Is coco fibre acidic?
As in can I put some as a layer on the bed that a blueberry is in without the blueberry keeling over dead one day?
Just bought (almost for the hell of it) one of these compressed blocks of coco fibre from £land.
Took in home and dropped the lump into a tub with the required 3 litre of water, that got absorbed so added another litre, that also go absorbed and still dry lumps, so added a fifth litre, that worked. Be careful of the instructions, they say add to the bag it is in which I think is not a great idea.
So now have about the expected 10 litre of damp coco fibre. Wondering about the potential use on the blueberry. Not immediatly but maybe one day.
Will say half impressed, it is exactly what it says and what you would expect and is easy to pick up a block just about anytime. Likely to be a half decent mulch for a small area <<- the blueberry bed in my case.
Suppose could be used as a growing medium by using water and plant food at the start then water as normal with water and plant food. May even be useful for those that play with hydroponics.
