What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Easy to move around the 5kg blocks. Have managed to sort out all my planters and raised beds with the 8 blocks with some left over. Did not get 5* as having to fluff up to using capacity.
A little coarser and more fibrous than other brands but still ok. More like fine mulch than regular compost but very pleasant to handle. Mix with vermiculite to pot on plants and seedlings.
Easy to hydrate. Needs a container to rehydrate. While not lightweight they are much easier to handle than a 70 litre bag.
Easy to tuck around emerging shoots. Plenty of easy to follow instructions enclosed with the companies product booklet. A handy size. Easy to handle. Easy to follow instruction.
Cons
There were no instructions as to amount of water to use, or how to hydrate. It dries out very quickly. Comes compressed, takes ages to rehydrate. Takes ages to absorb enough water to make it break up more easily.
Unsuitable for use, needs hot water and a large container. I suggest if anyone buys it be extremely careful and always wear a mask and gloves.
