Fun facts about coco coir

9/15/2015

The before...
-       byproduct of coconut industry (left over husk of coconut that is not used for any other purpose); this makes it a wonderful sustainable product!

-       it is also a renewable product in that we do not need to mine for it, and as long as we have coconuts growing we can have coco coir!

-       a fully expanded coco coir brick can hold 9 to 10 times its volume in water

-        neutral pH

-       Coco Coir bricks are also naturally free of bacteria, plant disease, fungal spores, weeds, seeds, and pathogens

-       good air space for root development
