5 Bricks of Coconut Coir (worm bedding)

• Each one is 1/4-1/3 cu. Ft. (650 gm) bricks of Compressed Coconut Coir Fiber, (5 Bricks)
• Each block measures approximately 8x4x2. COIR is a re-newable resource. (peat moss is NOT)
• Durable-Lasts 3 times longer than peat moss, up to 8 years
• Compact-compressed into bales or bricks for convenient shipping
• Rinsed with fresh water in Asia not salt water like some Coir
• Environmental-Renewable resource made from recycled coconut husks. When compared to peat, (the extraction of which can easily harm fragile bog habitats) coir is a more ecologically responsible choice.
• Uniform-Completely homogenous material free of seeds, weeds, and other particles
• Disease resistance-Resists bacterial, mold, fungal growth; ensures good drainage in potting mixes, preventing root rot while encouraging strong and early root growth
• Moisture retention-Can hold up to 8-9 times its weight in water
• Excellent aeration-Has superior oxygenation due to high air-filled porosity and pore space
• Nutrient storage-High cation exchange capacity; holds and releases nutrients over extended periods
• Desirable pH-Within range of horticultural applications (5.7-6.2)
• Reusable-Completely biodegradable; used as a mulch or soil conditioner, it retains its structure and water-holding capacity over time
• Rewettable-easily rewettable without use of chemical wetting agents.
• Makes great worm bedding
• Coconut Coir fiber is an excellent potting medium for starting seeds and potting plants.
