I have an opportunity to get a LOT of coco coir - like as many bales as I can stuff into the car and tie to the top of it. I know that it's a dreamy substance for containers, but would it be as good as an ammendment for soil? I know it's organic (always a plus), but does anyone know how it will work in a non-container garden?
I'm looking for stuff like if it will compact so quickly that it's not worth it, or if worms hate it (I have a lot of worms and love the little guys). Are there any veggies that you have had bad luck with, or any that were especially happy. Anything at all that might help.
I have been trying my hand at containers and failing with startling regularity (other than the first time which was pretty successful - and no, I have no idea why things are different this time), so I'm pretty much giving up on them for now, and focusing on the beds. But if there is no reason not to use the coir in the beds, I'm definitely in.
