They work great, and give plants enough room until I can get them outside. They are about 4" square.

Great find, Nematode. Keeps the fungus gnats uninterested which is the primary advantage of coir over peat for me. How deep does the brick get? I usually finish up with a plastic pot 5.5 in depth. I may transition to 1/2 gal grow bags next year. Tried two as an experiment and really like them.

They were around a dime from Paradigm Gardens hydro store here in the Big O..
