Once a relatively rare product, its use has become more common in recent years because it can hold water very well without adding a lot to its weight. Coir dust, also known as coir pith, is a by product of the Coir fibre extraction process from coconut husk. It?s a completely natural, organic product.
Before manufacturing a bale or tiny block, coir dust composted or old mulched dust is gathered, filtered, and dried. It?s a spongy cellulose organic plant growing media that can be found in garden centres, horticulture, and nurseries. This has a high ability for retaining water for plant growth. In water, this block/bale dissolves quickly. Coir dust bales are available individually wrapped in polythene or in raw block form.
Our coir pith 5kg blocks are the perfect organic mulching material when one wants to rejuvenate soil. It is a natural and complete substitute for peat moss, vermiculite and fermeld composts. It has better water holding capacity than all and grows a wide range of plants. Equally good in open as well as pots, it is also an ideal medium for seedlings.
