Benefits of composted coir pith
The addition of composted coir dust improves soil texture, structure, and tilth, sandy soil becomes more compact, and clayey soil becomes more arable.
It improves the soil aggregation
It improves the water holding capacity (more than 5 times its dry weight) contributing towards increased soil moisture.
The bulk density of both the sub-surface (15-30 cm) soil is reduced to a considerable extent with the application of composted coir pith.
Composted coir dust contains all plant nutrient elements and it can provide a supplemental effect along with inorganic fertilizers.
There is an improvement in the cation exchange capacity of soils, where composted coir pith is applied.
Coir pith compost application increased the soil native microflora because of the addition of humic materials.
Ammonification, nitrification, and nitrogen fixation are increased due to improved microbiological activity.
Coco peat brick is also known as coir pith or coir dust, it’s made from coconut husks. Coco peat primarily consists of the coir fiber pith or coir dust which is obtained by processing coconut husk and removing the long fibers. Planet Coco’s peat brick is low in EC and have very low salt content. Our Coco peat is aged and composted for over 18 months and thorough washed. Our one liter brick can be expanded up to 8 liters by adding 2 liters of water. 650 Bricks are a perfect size to handle and it’s the perfect size for home gardeners. Usage Environmentally-friendly & sustainable organic alternative to peat moss. Used in greenhouses, vertical gardens, landscaping & grow bags.
