Washed the dust out of a few bricks of coco. Any use for it?

It will go great in the garden or compost pile, compress to pellets for any fires, soak up small oil spills in the garage and provide a reptile or spider with a spongy absorbent layer in a terranium.

I've not know the dust to be made into insulating panels but there's another idea along with the classic mushroom growing as a substrate mix or casing layer.

That is perfect. I used to use some stuff, sorball if I can remember from dim memory in a job far, far away.
We use to use sawdust, it's not that great but takes up the excess oil, Coco dust should do the same and worth a try if you have regular spills.

Not regular but in those 'oh oh' moments I hate using up a roll of paper towel. At least this expensive dust will go to good use. Coco does absorb a lot of water, hope it does oil also.
