I discuss and demonstrate how to use a 6 quart Instant Pot pressure cooker's yogurt setting plus a tarp for rehydrating then drying coconut coir.

I used to manually break up the block but that did not yield as much material nor work as effectively in a compost toilet system.

This is what works best for me as a full time nomad in a midsize van when going outside is not an option.
