Product is as described. No complaints. Happy with the purchase price.I guess you can use this for a filler or places where you don’t want anything to grow. Not 100% what the problem is but this product has killed everything it comes into contact with. This product has killed off a worm composting bin and all microgreens.I put the raw product into a new worm bin and it failed quickly. Tried using it for growing microgreens and it was covered in mold and nasty stuff. If you want to use this as a filler or want to kill everything it touches then this is for you. You can’t use this for worm bins or microgreens.I have used pre-shaped coconut liners from the big box stores for years. As much as I use, it became very expensive and a lot of times my trip was wasted as they were out of stock.I discovered it came in rolls at Pikes. Ouch. It was expensive. I hopped on Amazon and bought the 24 inches wide roll on March 22, 2016 for $44.47 INCLUDING shipping and tax. I am very pleased. It saves me money and time. This brand is much thicker and lasts longer. You just need room to store it and patience to jigsaw it into the different shapes.I used it to line a Tiffany-type lampshade for a hanging basket of annuals. I had to bring the shade in for the winter so I dumped the soil and cut up the liner as scraps to put in the bottom of my bigger pots to keep the dirt out of the drainage holes. It is of nice quality and appears to be all of 33 feet. I will definitely buy it again.Absolutely terrible quality. You can immediately feel how light and loose the fibers are, compared to ones preformed at Home Depot. I cut and fit these around several hanging flower baskets, right to the top. You can see in the picture that it disintegrated after maybe a month. We just had normal weather, nothing extreme to cause this.I didn't unroll the entire roll to ensure I received 33 ft, but the width is definitely about 24 inches.We were looking to get a bunch of 30" basket liners, which I could buy for about $3.99/piece at Wal-Mart, but I can get about (10) from this roll, which ends up being more expensive, but all the scrap pieces of liner could be used in an overlapping fashion to recoop the cost and make this large roll more economical.This also arrived well ahead of schedule which was very surprising given it's size and weight.I would have given this "5" stars, but the liner was very thin in some place or non-existent and unusable in those areas. Other than a few thin or empty spots, this liner appeared tough and durable.Great value for the money. I first purchased several years ago to line my many baskets used for growing herbs. The liners lasted 3 seasons and I'm super happy about that. This is my second purchase. Nice, thick, and durable.I purchased several rolls to put down as temporary pathways through my back field. I cut the rolls in half lengthwise (so I got 65-ish linear feet of 18" wide pathway per roll) & laid them down last spring, before the grass had sprung up very much. They were easy to work with, went down easily, gave decent foothold and were more effective than I'd expected at suppressing weeds & grasses (I used no underlayment of any sort - I was going for fast and cheap). Eventually they will degrade beyond usefulness, but they survived the entire summer and this past winter and still hold useful pathways.It's not a really permanent outdoor pathway solution, but at about $1 per linear foot, its the most cost effective, and easy install, pathway material I've ever used.I bought this to save money. I have 30+ hanging baskets that take cocoa liners, and while the 14" liners are very affordable from the big box home centers, I have many odd shaped and very large baskets. The odd shaped liners are impossible to find, and the large basket liners are upwards of $15 each. I bought this as a cost saver, and it was better than expected. It is very thick, which is great for the plants, but difficult to cut. However, after finding a pair of sharp metal shears (i.e., made to cut metal) in the shed, I was able to cut the mat fairly easily. Unlike the cheap, thin liners I buy in bulk for the 14" baskets, this stuff is thick and does not need any sort of moss lining. It is also more attractive on the finished basket than the cheap liners. I will definitely purchase this again next season.This is a reply from my enquiry to importer in the USA, in my opinion the word natural should be removed from the description:Our coco rolls and liners are fumigated before entry into the US and they are also coated with a rubberized substance to help hold their form. These are not recommended for organic growth or hydroponics. We import the coco liners and coco liner rolls to complement our garden items such as hanging baskets. We are a steel manufacturer. We handle many different product categories and organic is not one of them, unfortunately.This cuts to shape nicely, just use good sharp scissors. I was also pleasantly surprised how thick the product is. Highly satisfied with it and has worked well.Amazing product for price and delivery.Pros Really smooth and easy to work with.Not patchy or full of latex would recommend this product. I will use this company again in futureConsNeed to be wrapped up better for delivery but that it. thumbs upThis is full of plastic bags pressed into the fibers and other garbage. The coconut fibers aren't even a consistent thickness... This product is completely useless to me as a grow medium. Do not buy this product.... You've been warned.
