Retail Coir
 

 

Our Coir is made from coco peat from Pelemix Sri Lanka. Coir is a fibrous by-product of coconut processing. The coir is sorted by particle size into pre-determined grades suitable for a variety of growing applications. The precise blends of coir components are then blended and compressed to one fifth of it's normal size, when dry. Simply adding water allows the coir to expand back to it's normal size.

    		 Benefits of Our Seedling Coir
    Economy:
    Much more cost effective than Perlite, vermiculite and particularly rockwool
    Handle Once:
    Seeds are sown in trays and are not handled again until planting
    Cycles:
    Because seedlings are grown in trays and automatically spaced by cells seedlings are larger when planted so more crop cycles can be achieved
    Damage:
    As opposed to rockwool systems, plant roots are not damaged at planting
    Biodegradable:
    New environmental laws are starting to demand that growers use sustainable and biodegradable inputs into their systems such as coir, rockwool is not biodegradable
    Light:
    Making trays much easier to handle prior to planting and also harvest
    Health:
    Coir is cleaner than bark so the potential for legionaries is markedly reduced
    Soft:
    Not harsh on staff or machines
    Clean:
    Very hygienic compared to bark based on media and cleans off hand without difficulty
    Germination is excellent:
    Up to 100% and significantly better than bark based media's
    High air filled porosity (AFP):
    Leading to good drainage and healthy humidity in the root zone.
    High cation exchange:
    meaning nutrient is readily available to the plants and nutrient delivery becomes more efficient and less is wasted in runoff.
