I bought some coco today. Came in a big sack and was quite fine in structure (kinda powdery).
Took it home, filled up a 5 gal bucket about half way, filled it with water, stirred. Then started taking handfuls off the top, squeezed the water out and put in another 5 gal bucket until I had most of the coco from the top.
I then emptied the bucket full of water. It had a lot of sandy coco, some strands, and some very dark dirt.
Decided to repeat the process two more times, but the color of the water didn't really get much lighter. Still seems like I got a lot of crap out, but not sure if its just the tiny particles of coco making the water so dirty looking or what.
I guess the only way to know for sure is to put it up to the ultimate test...
Anyone else have a similar experience?
(btw- I'm living in SE Asia and don't have access to any hydro shops, brand name products, etc...)
