Fine Quality coco peat block for Garden Plants, Agriculture, Horticulture, Seed Germination, Green House Application. Coco Peat is an excellent growing medium for home and lawn garden plants. It is one of the best media for seed germination. It improves aeration in the soil for optimal root growth while maintaining the ideal nutrient availability for plants. Converting coco peat blocks to coir dust is easy. All you need to do is add water to the block and the block will puff up into moist fluffy coco peat. Just add sufficient water to the block to make sufficient quantity of moist coco peat. You can put away the unuse block for later.
Mix the expanded coco peat with leaf mould or homemade organic manure in the ratio of 1:1. Add red soil or sand in small quantities for large plants, otherwise the coco peat will not be able to hold the weight of the plants as they grow. Red soil tends to compact over time (despite the coco peat), so take care not to mix more than one third of the mix. For germination, mix coco peat, leaf mould and sand in the ratio of 1:1:1. If you are using commercial organic manure, it would be better to mix coco peat and organic manure in the ratio of 10:1 as commercial organic manures are often of high strength.
