I have some left over bags of Jiffy and Burpee Coir that I hope to use up this year. I always add perlite so it doesn't compact on the bottom over time.

What do you think of the coco ball Grow!t instead of perlite. I'm trying to keep breathing in a mess to a minimum this year. Would that work with when using peat? It is typically for hydroponics.

If you have a big tub cut the bale in half (just slice the plastic and break it then) and gently put whatever you can break off into a tub. then water it with hot water if you have it available and add a bit of dishsoap to cut the tension of the water so it absorbs in. let it sit for a little while. that will cut down the dust while trying to break it up. if you put in too much water and it is too wet add some more dry mix to it.
