Default Re: How compact should potting mix be and what should be used.

Hi Richard,
The simplest way to check whether the source of coir chip that you obtain have salt content, just test it with a hydrometer. You can get it from a pet store that sell marine fishes and accessories. Hydrometer is use to check the salinity of the water.

I have been using bags and bags of coir chips, so far no ill effect as the source of coir chips is clean of salt and mainly used for horticulture purposes.
