5 bucks!!!
lucky you!!!
I pay like 18-22 bucks for it.
its good coco
but DEFINITELY needs to be flushed
a lot of sand and salt in there.
get a rubbermaid tote, throw the bale in there and soak it with a hose.
strain with something to get the sand and other crap out of there.
Then fill up an old (preferably white) pillow case and run a bunch of water thru it to wash the rest of the salt away.
charge it with a weak nutrient solution with a good amount of calmag and your good!
Thats an OLd ass 2012 post.
