Around here a 7 liter block cost $6 while a 7 liter bag cost $20. These blocks are compressed under a lot of pressure then dehydrated. Which means you can't just break the block up which is compressed down to one liter and get your 7 liters of ground cover. It has to be re-hydrated before use. It absorbs a ton of water and takes forever to dry out enough to place in a viv. Hence why I bake it.
