Description

Coco Bricks is a planting medium or substrate made from coconut pith in compressed form.  With 4 litres of water, it hydrates within minutes to obtain around 12 litres of planting substrate ready for cultivation. This substrate is suitable for all types of cultivation, both outdoors and indoors. When mixed with the garden soil or other potting media, it acts as a a soil conditioner and water retainer.

How is the product manufactured ?

"Coir" is the name given to the thick fibrous mesocarp that surrounds the nut of the coconut. When extracting the fiber, a significant amount (about 2/3) of material called PEAT, PITH, DUST, or peat* is obtained.  The product is washed to remove salts naturally present in crushed fiber. The pH and salt level are rigorously controlled to meet the requirements for even delicate crops.  The peat is mixed with cut coconut fibers and then compressed at 8:1 in the form of block of size 20 x 10 x 5 cm block.

Coconut peat is the spongy material that is naturally glued to coconut fiber.  Not to be confused with the non-renewable peat, an organic matter found in a water-saturated environment and forests whose extraction is controversial.

How to use it ?

• Put the unwrapped block in a bucket.
• Add 4 litres of normal water.
• Allow the block to absorb the water for 30 to 60 minutes. You can even add 1 or 2 spoons of NutrAza, the natural fertilizer that resists pests.
• The 650-gram block with 4 liters of water can produce a soil of 10-12 liters of planting media.
