Coco coir/peat is the binding material that comes from the fiber fraction of the coconut husk. A very special grade of coir dust is washed, screened and graded before being processed into various Coco coir/peat products for horticultural and agricultural applications. Coco coir/peat is a multi-purpose soil conditioner and growing medium. It is consistent and uniform in texture. It is a completely homogenous material composed of millions of capillary micro-sponges that absorb and hold up to eight times of its own weight in water. The natural pH of 5.7 to 6.5, plus an unusually high cation exchange capacity - and 27% of Easily Available Water assures that coir will hold and release nutrients in solution over extended periods without re-watering.
