This soil is a blend of organic Coco Pith, compost, and other additives. Coco pith is also known as Coir. It is a natural byproduct of raising coconut palms. It's a renewable resource with several advantages over peat moss. It holds water without any additives, and absorbs water evenly without any beading on the surface. Coir also has more nutrients, a neutral pH balance, and remains effective for up to 5 years.

This property helps plants get the carbon that they need to develop strong stems and recover from bug damage. Coconut Fiber Potting Soil an excellent amendment for clay soils because it helps loosen up the compact ground and increase water retention.

    Why is Coco Fiber Potting Soil better than Peat Moss?

    This soil resists compacting and retains water year after year. It also uses organically grown components that are sustainably harvested. On the other hand, using Peat Moss damages the ecosystem. Peat moss deposits are slow to recover from mining because Peat bogs are similar to coral reefs: each brick that's harvested can take up to 2,000 years to grow back!

    Peat moss requires a chemical additive to absorb water, sheds water until the surface is saturated, and compacts easily. Peatmoss is also acidic - it has a pH value of about 4. Peat moss can acidify the soil, scorch roots, and wilt leaves. Peat moss bricks often contain a variety of debris, including sticks and stones. You never know what you'll find in a peat bog!

    Coconut Fiber Potting Soil is a proven growing medium. It's a natural alternative to mined peat moss and outperforms most of the popular brands of peat and sphagnum peat. Choose coconut fiber potting soil to boost the health of your plants and help the environment too!
