Well my 50l bag of coir arrived today, does this look like the right stuff? Never used it before so I just need some reassurance :)

That is indeed coconut coir. Which is really fine grade coconut fibers.

How much did a 50lb bag cost if you don't mind me asking. The home depot I go to doesn't carry coir at all.

Its a 50litre bag, not lbs :) cost me £18.99 and that was including shipping. Got it off of Amazon.

Does it tell you how much water to add to certain amounts? Or do you not soak this stuff? I might get some. Is it the same as the bricks do you know?

I got a brick of Coconut Coir at Home Depot for $2.50. A brick goes a long way.

This stuff was already moist. I know £18.99 isn't mega cheap but I did get a lot for it. I should be able to change out my viv another 2 times with what Ive got left.
