Reptichip Alternative SOS
I've just about finished my massive cage set up. I've always used Aspen and Reptichip based on species. It seems I can't get my hands on enough Reptichip until mid-September (when I can't take a road trip to pick it up) but I need it within 2 weeks so I can have it done and everyone out of sterilite tubs before my teaching schedule takes all my time.
Looking at alternatives, ShaneSilva recommends Coconut Coir.
I need serious quantities.
Is this the right product? Is it more like Reptichip or soil? If it is textured more like soil than little chips, is it as easy to spot clean and use as the Reptichip? (Aspen goes all over the place because it's so light and fluffy...and I don't want to buy a product that is as big of a messy headache.)
I found this offered for $8.89 a brick with free shipping by Walmart: "11 lb. Coconut Coir Block Soilless Grow Media".
Thanks for feedback in advance.
