Description

Cocopeat is a superb soil conditioner, primarily used for its water retention, aeration, and lightweight properties. It is an excellent medium for seed starting and container gardening but has minimal nutrient content, making it ideal for use alongside other fertilizers like vermicompost.

Benefits of Cocopeat in Agriculture:
Excellent Water Retention: Can hold up to 10 times its weight in water, providing a consistent moisture supply to plants.
Aeration: Improves soil aeration, promoting healthy root growth.
Lightweight: Easier to handle and transport compared to traditional soil amendments.
Sustainable: Made from the husk of coconuts, a renewable resource, making it an eco-friendly choice.
Neutral pH: Typically has a neutral pH, making it suitable for a wide range of plants.
Nutrient Retention: Holds onto nutrients effectively, reducing leaching and making them available to plants over time.
Weed-Free: Cocopeat is free from weed seeds, ensuring a clean growing medium.
Reduces Soil Compaction: Helps keep the soil loose and well-aerated, preventing compaction.
