Coco - COIR
Finally, an Eco-Alternative to Peat Moss. Coir Fiber is a renewable, nontoxic, sustainable growing medium.

Coir or cocopeat or 'coir fiber pith' or coir dust are several terms are used to describe material produced from coconut husks. Coir is produced as a by-product when coconut husks are processed for the extraction of the long fibers from the husk. It is the binding material that comes from the fiber fraction of the coconut husk. It has long been used in the making of rugs, and weaving into landscape erosion control mats.

Coir fiber is an excellent potting medium for starting seeds and potting plants. A by-product of the coconut harvest, coir fiber is a renewable resource. It holds 10 times its weight in water and does not shed water like peat moss. Coco Pith holds and releases nutrients over extended periods, providing excellent oxygenation.

If you want to get real creative, you can shred the bricks and bales up in a chipper, shredder, and/or mix them up with some worm castings and you can really boost the water retention properties of loose sandy soil while adding many valuable trace minerals.

Use for:

  • Seed Starting
  • Enhance potting mediums.
  • Makes a good medium for vermiculture (worm beds)
  • Improving water retention and aeration in garden soils of every type
  • Use as a substitute for peat moss when transplanting trees and shrubs
  • Mix with worm castings or compost to boost soil nutrition and water absorption

Compressed Coir Bricks

Coir has a very low salt content that is available in 1/2" double-sieved long fibers to reduce dust and give ample space within the mix. Cocogro has excellent drainage properties and can be used over a longer period of time than coir fiber with shorter fibers. With longer fibers and reduced dust, growers will experience an optimal air to water ratio, which is vital for strong root development. Cocogro is unique because it is not chemically treated like other coir fibers on the market. Cocogro is a superior coir fiber because it is aged a minimum of 18 months and has finished its decomposition stage. In addition, Cocogro is exposed to rain water from at least three monsoon seasons, which naturally washes away harmful salts out of the final product. Most other coir fibers are only 4 to 5 months old and have excessive potassium and salts and thus have to be chemically treated.
