Just got a Namiba Coco Bale and it's in a big 5kg block.

How much will I need to make enough for an area 18x18"?

I'd just make a bit up at a time in a bucket until you have enough. It really expands massively. I don't know how the size of the bale compares to the eco-earth bricks I think the bricks are much smaller- but two bricks did an exo-terra 24"x 18".

Also use hot water not cold as it works much quicker! Smile
