I've used a lot of the blocks and rinse, rinse, rinse them all.

Mother Earth is the worst I've tried; the texture is fine but it smells like petroleum even after lots of rinsing. I dedicate 2 Earthboxes for the rinsing and sometimes will leave it for 6+ months - first with me rinsing then rain.

Besides, Wonder Soil, I like the Roots Organic's bricks the best and purchase the Roots Organic Chips and you can make any of them the exact consistency you want. The price for Roots Organic is much lower at the hydro store than Amazon.

Thanks for the heads up on Coco Bliss.

I also have found the coir in the grow slabs is great; it expands in the bag and doesn't require rinsing. I've dumped at the end of the season, removed the roots and reused and it was still great.
