would using the cocohusk from a full coconut from the store be better than store bought coco-chips??? would this also work for cocofiber potting mix???
i was only wondering this because they sell full coconuts at a local grocery store (fortinos) and you would know what's been added to the mix...

I don't know much about coco-chips, but I can tell you this- you're going to need to buy a lot of coconuts if you go this route!

there only a couple bucks each so the numbers won't necessarily matter

I'm thinking that tearing apart coco husks sound like so much work...
