Seriously, that is the worst thing you can do, the compressed bales are designed to be rehydrated. Planting directly into that dehydrated mix will cause the mix to pull moisture from your plant roots. A bag of Miracle grow is already slightly damp when you open it, that is a big difference to your plants. When you allow a dry mix to rehydrate, you do not make a wet mix, it should be just slightly damp, like a bag of MG, and this takes hours to achieve.
Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.
