Just a heads up for the coir stockpilers, like me. 
My coir blocks have been stacked just inside the up-and-over garage door. The door is rarely opened as I use the side door to access the garage.
However, today the main door was opened and, to my surprise, the bottom blocks of coir had started to expand and the cardboard boxes had disintegrated! Rain must have driven under the door and been sucked up by the coir. Three blocks were badly damaged so I've shovelled them into dustbins where they can stay until I need the coir. There are 2 more blocks with signs of damp but they're further away from the door so can wait a while until I find another bin.
