## Description

Review: Happy me and worms. - Very good product, easy to use and my worms are happy.
Review: Stop wasting time. - READ BEFORE BUYING! First of all I’m a real consumer and do not work for any company. Stop being afraid of using a new product, especially one that will change the way you plant everything. I wouldn’t recommend using this product to plant into directly. Although you can. Use it as an additive to the dirt you already have. This product is the perfect solution to that pesky cheap dirt that you bought on sale. You know the kind. The one that gets real hard, real fast. Then when you pour water on top and it just sits there and soaks in slowly. If at all. Then you find out that is just ran down the edges of the pot and out of the bottom. Then your plants either die from drought or suffocated roots. Adding this to your dirt acts like a plumbing system made of sponge (only it’s not sponge). When mixed into your dirt and pour water into your pot this mix absorbs fluids immediately. This allows you to be sure a perfect distribution of water or feed to your plant with ease throughout the entire container. Once you open this small brick and add water to it, break it down and you will see how efficient it is. Be sure to follow the instructions. Don’t add the brick to water. Add water to the brick. About 1 gallon. Then lay it out to dry. Once it’s dries, begin to add it to your dirt. Add about 2-3qts to a 8qt bag. (4cups equals 1qt) Use your dirt as a usual and be shocked that it makes such a difference. You’ll save time watering your plants and you will never wonder if your babies are full hydrated. Remember free and healthy roots are your gardens best chance to make you smile.

*by K***H on September 27, 2025*

Works well. No coco coir seems like it used to be though....going back 20+yrs or however long coir has been in use. Seems like Urban Worm was one of the first back then also. For the money and whats available though, you can't beat Urban Worm. Unless your doing straight hydro, coir is the way to go indoors. Much more forgiving than doing straight hydroponics.
