Coco Coir Bricks have so many uses!!
Hydroponic
Coco coir is an increasingly popular type of hydroponic growing medium — and for a good reason. There are a whole host of benefits to growing with coconut coir that you can and should take advantage of if you’re new to hydroponics.
Container and Organic Gardening
Coco coir is a great product to use for container gardening. However, it is best used with additional media, such as perlite and vermicompost. Because coir retains so much water, too much can cause damage to plant roots, essentially drowning them. The addition of perlite helps the mixture dry slightly and allows you to better control the moisture levels in your mixture. Vermicompost is an organic composting media that utilizes various worms to break down plants and food waste, creating a nutrient-rich material that is perfect for plant growth.
Composting
Once rehydrated, coco coir makes a perfect medium for worm composting, or vermiculture. Its natural ability to maintain moisture and nutrients while providing air pockets creates a perfect environment for the worms. Once the coir bedding is in place, add the worms, allowing them to burrow into the bedding. Organic food waste, such as coffee grounds, eggshells, vegetables, and fruits can be added and lightly covered with additional coir.
