Coco - COIR Finally, an Eco-Alternative to Peat Moss. Coir Fiber is a renewable, nontoxic, sustainable growing medium.
Coir or cocopeat or 'coir fiber pith' or coir dust are several terms are used to describe material produced from coconut husks. Coir is produced as a by-product when coconut husks are processed for the extraction of the long fibers from the husk. It is the binding material that comes from the fiber fraction of the coconut husk. It has long been used in the making of rugs, and weaving into landscape erosion control mats.
Coir fiber is an excellent potting medium for starting seeds and potting plants. A by-product of the coconut harvest, coir fiber is a renewable resource. It holds 10 times its weight in water and does not shed water like peat moss. Coco Pith holds and releases nutrients over extended periods, providing excellent oxygenation.
If you want to get real creative, you can shred the bricks and bales up in a chipper, shredder, and/or mix them up with some worm castings and you can really boost the water retention properties of loose sandy soil while adding many valuable trace minerals.

Coir has a very low salt content that is available in 1/2" double-sieved long fibers to reduce dust and give ample space within the mix. With longer fibers and reduced dust, growers will experience an optimal air to water ratio, which is vital for strong root development. Classic Coir Bricks are a compressed coconut-fiber growing medium that expands to approximately 1/3 cubic foot when soaked in water.
