Does this take the place of soil, or does it get mixed with soil?

it can it can be used just like peat moss in place of soil. It can be used and reused say in pots or containers. I mixed it with my soil because I have clay and it helps to break up the clay and keeps the nutrients and moisture in. I highly recommend it.

If you are making potting mix, 2 parts of coir (expanded not compressed), 1 part horse manure (cured), some perlite (coffee can), lime (cup). This will give you a start. Answer to your question, yes.

I think most people mix with soil, could be used either way. It does not add nutrients, it is to loosen soil and RETAINS WATER.

It's very similar to peat moss, yet way better in some ways, unlike peat moss coco coir is non acidic or very close to it which is great for plants sensitive to acidity, unlike peat moss coco coir does not get compacted down fast, nor does it ever contain rocks, bark, weeds or pests because of how they dehydrate it.

put it in water and let it expand, I usually do it for about a day. then it will fluff out and be very easy to add to your soil. it needs to have nutrients added, but it will help keep them from washing away. it will also retain moisture and it will keep your soil light so it doesn't just mud and harden.

You mix with the water you use to water your plants. The exact measurements are on the jar. This product works well!

Well, I find that without liquid the contents doesn't mix well. I can't say for sure, but I think you would need to add a bit of liquid.

It has to be mixed in properly or it will affect the appearance of the work.

Yes it has to be mixed. The small bottle is the hardener, you will have a period of time to work with it before it hardens.

No, and if you just leave it, it composites into the earth. You don't even need to remove. But you can use as fertilizer while there is still content left. It's easy, better in full sun and moisten once and a while.

It goes all the way to the bottom. You don't have to fill it with soil, you can use packing peanuts to fill it half way up, then soil on top.

Don't need a spoon to mix it. Hook to a garden hose and water. It automatically dispenses proper mixture.

It needs to go into a compost bin. If it doesn't go in with composting it becomes more landfill. That said, if it is compostible, it came from non-petroleum products, which is good in itself...

Mix it little by litter. Dont mix it at one go. However, I never used other liquids to mix the clay. I used the apple cider vinegar, so far so good.

The label doesn't say to soak first. I just mixed into the soil as per the instructions on the label.

I tried everything to use this how it was intended, didn't work well. I ended up using soil, it worked much better.

hi Joel; It's my first time using powder...I grow in soil. I never had any clogging problems while mixing...I feel if you mix the water well you will not have a problem. I use a paint mixer attached to a cordless drill for mixing.

Any good soilless mix should be fine. Grow, Micro, Bloom are used together. The ratios change with your grow cycle. Good products.

It all depends on your soil. This will add fertilization to your soil but, if the soil is poor you may want to add extra separately.

You need to mix it with soil and apply it to the plants, messy but seems to work well.

You have to mix this product first. It can be harmful to some plants at too high of a concentration.
