Coconut coir is found above ground, it's naturally free of typical soil diseases. Further more, the coconuts organic complex contains Trichoderma, a mold which works to keep root diseases in check and stimulates root development.
Coconut naturally buffers pH which means that all the elements required for a plants healthy growth are readily accessible to the plant. In addition, the coconut matter is 100% eco friendly. It is also a renewable resource as compared to the depleting peat bogs.
Benefits:
Releases nutrients over extended periods.
Holds 10 times its weight of water.
Colonizes roots hairs improving absorption of soil minerals and natural growth hormones.
Passes natural biocontrol of soil borne fungus pathogens. Increases seed germination. (up to 95%)
Stronger plants increased immune resistance.
Grown near fresh water, not salt water
Packaging: 50-60kg per bale. A 40 feet container holds approximately 22 to 24 tonnes of coconut coir.
Our coconut is grown near fresh water and not near salt water like the others do. The coir has NOT been treated with harsh chemicals. All our products are washed in fresh water through a 3-step process: The coir is first soaked in fresh water for four days; The coir is then compressed to extract the loose chemicals and debris, this step also creates the perfect pH balance; after compressing the coir, they are dried and packaged into pales ready for shipment. This procedure results in low sodium content in our coconut products. Our coconut coir is far superior to peat moss and other coir products.
