The World's Most Advanced, Natural Organic Growing Medium  
 
The Coconut Coir fibre pith (Coconut Peat) is the particles that hold the coconut fibres together. It is composed of millions of micro sponge-like capillaries that absorb and hold 8-9 times its weight of water and has a high nutrient absorption capacity. It is an excellent growing medium and a long lasting soil ameliorant. A growing medium with an unusually high water retaining capacity requires less frequent watering thus saving precious water resources while decreasing the use of chemical nutrients.

Coconut Peat is a 100% natural and renewable resource with all the characteristics of high quality peat moss. It increases the porosity of dense soil and facilitates root penetration. Its high protective lignin content prevents the material from decaying easily.

These unique characteristics give the product a clear advantage as a superior alternative to peat moss while having no ecological drawbacks to its use.

Coconut Peat provides an excellent base on which plants can be grown especially because:

  • It has high moisture/air retention capacity while maintaining porosity affording plant protection from drying out in the summer and water logging during the winter.
  • It requires less frequent watering saving planet earths precious water resources
  • It enables easy growth and spread of roots and has a superior cationic exchange capacity
  • Has a 70% lignin content and improves the soil drainage system.
  • It is a product that can be used as a Growing Medium, Moisture Retainer, Soil Conditioner, Mulching Agent or Root Developer.
  • Is economical and user friendly.
  • And because of its immense capacity for water absorption, Coconut peat has been widely used as a soil conditioner - to serve as a moisture equalizer and improve the quality of many types of soils.

Environmental Advantages:

Coconut Peat is completely environmentally friendly - peat moss substitute. Contains 100% natural substances and beneficial microbes - no chemical compounds have been added. Its unusually high water absorption capacity helps conserve planet earths precious water supply. It is a 100% organic renewable resource that is completely biodegradable with no hazardous disposal problems.
