The Coco Loco is washed three times, and with the downpours we get , any further washing needs should be completely taken care of. It is a night and day difference from the Wondersoil, literally. The CL is heavy and black, even with their generous inclusion of large chunks of perlite.
I do agree that the Wondersoil needs to be beefed up after a few weeks of use. Last year I had
grand illusions of using it to pot up and be free of fungus gnats, but after a few weeks it just compacted and stayed too wet. I ended up repotting again in peaty regular mix. It is definitely my first choice for germinating peppers, and worth a few bucks to avoid wasting time starting peppers over.
I'm not getting much of a feel of confidence using this outdoors in containers in a potentially rainy year. If I were to go this route since I'm inundated with the stuff, flip a coin for pine bark or perlite as an addition. And what granular fertilizer would work in coir?
