Here in the SoCal area, a lot of nurserys are starting to stock coir. If you

have a favorite nursery, you might ask if they can get it for you.

One brick expands to five times its size.

Hi Ernest, yes we do have the bricks in the UK. They're not so cheap, but I'm

guessing that one brick would produce enough when wetted, to make several trays

up. I've only seen the bricks sold online so it's the postage (shipping) that

makes them expensive if I were to buy one to try out.

Vermiculite can be freely purchased, so I've been using that (and compost) so

far. It doesn't seem as convenient as the mats you guys can use.

I was also thinking Charlotte could check the UK Amazon since the US Amazon

stocks them or go to the http://suretogrow.com web site and see if they have a

store location finder for the UK. If not send them an email and ask.

Do  you get the trays without holes in them?  Or do you use  a tray with

holes and put it in a tray without holes? They are cheap but shipping is

terrible so I'm going to look at Lowe's.  Might find some at a nursery if you

bought several plants and had them on a tray or got ones for the yard on a flat

but then have to sterilize it.
