*Usage:I soaked the block in a container filled with water. It took some time, nearly an hour, but watching it expand was fascinating. Once fully expanded, it turned into a considerable amount of fluffy cocopeat.**Gardening Applications:**I used it as a potting mix for repotting my plants. The texture was perfect - light, airy, and retained moisture well.The cocopeat felt high-quality and had that natural, earthy smell. Knowing it’s made from coconut fibers, it’s a satisfyingly eco-friendly option for my gardening endeavors.**Consideration:**The expansion time is a factor to plan for. Pre-soaking it before actual use is necessary to utilize its full potential.**Conclusion:**My practical experience with Cocopeat 5 kg Block was rewarding. Once expanded, it provided an excellent potting mix and seed starter medium. While the expansion time requires some patience, its quality and eco-friendliness make it a valuable addition to my gardening supplies.
