Coco peat is the 'coir fiber pith' or 'coir dust' a bi-product produced when processing the coconut husks for extraction of long fiber from the husks. Coco peat is a proven natural alternative to mined peat moss, therefore using it helps slow down peat extraction from environmentally sensitive swamps worldwide. Coco Peat holds water rather than shedding it like traditional peat does! It retains water 8-9 times of its weight. Coco Peat has the ability to store and release nutrients to plants for extended periods. It also has great oxygenation properties that are important for healthy root development. It has a pH of 5.0-6.8 which is neutral to slightly acidic. This makes it great for alkaline garden soils.
Coco peat is used for seed starting, bedding plants, planters, gardens, container plants. Anywhere you can use peat moss. The properties of Coco Peat make it resistant to bacterial and fungal growth.
