Cutting coco fiber bricks?

[unkempt1]

Lol! This can be difficult, but I have done it in the past. I used an electric Reciprocating Saw. Now I'm not advising anyone to just go out and try this. It can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

Overkill! I thought about that as an option but don't have access to one. I'm still laughing at the idea of trying and failing to cut into this thing!

Why not just soak half the brick in a small pan of water?

Haha believe it or not that's what I tried! The water basically climbed up the brick like it was a sponge, so I ended up just using the whole thing.

What I normally do is just soak the whole brick in a bucket lined with a small trash bag. Then I just take what I need and tie the bag tight. The coco fiber stays nice and fresh.

This sounds like the winner. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
