A Sustainable Alternative to Peat Moss!

Coconut Coir is a 100% natural by-product of harvesting coconut. Coir consists of the coarse fibers extracted from the husk on the outer shell of a coconut. Because of its superior water holding capacity, excellent air space and drainage, coir is a useful soil amendment for potted plants, containers and gardens

The coconut coir from All Things Organic is grown near fresh water and not near salt water, which results in a low sodium content in our coconut fertilizer. The coir has not been steamed or treated with methyl bromide, thereby retaining the special trichoderma property inherent in the natural coconut husk. Our coconut coir fertilizer is far superior to peat moss and other coir products and is an excellent choice for:

Lawns and golf turf
Annual and perennial flower beds
Vegetable and herb gardens
Soil amendment and conditioner

FEATURES

Replaces peat moss, rockwool & perlite

Compressed bricks are easy to handle & store

Disease Resistant

Excellent air space & water holding capacity - holds between 8 & 10 times its volume in water

pH Neutral

How to use Coir

When used in sandy soils, coir helps to keep nutrients and moisture close to plant roots instead of washing away. When used in clay soils, coir helps to break up hard-packed earth and move nutrients and moisture through the soil. By adding one part coir to two parts soil or potting mix containing compost, you can make a perfect growing medium for potted plants or an outdoor garden or raised bed.

Coconut coir is available in two size options. Our 5-pack kit contains 5 individual 650-gram blocks of coir, enabling you to use smaller amounts of coir at a time. Our 5kg blocks are ideal for gardeners who want to amend soil with a large amount of coir. When fully saturated, our 5kg blocks more than double their size, filling a large wheelbarrow with a nutritious soil additive.
