With the banning of the sale of peat in horticulture in the UK, there has been a growing interest in coir-based products as an ideal alternative to peat. CoirProducts coircoins are made with natural fibres extracted from the husk of the coconut. A completely natural product, the coir is compressed or packed together tightly into pellets. CoirProducts coircoins use a biodegradable cover, made out of polymer from corn starch, to hold the compost in place before, during, and after expansion. Coircoins are thus completely biodegradable and free of peat-moss.

As we are directly involved in the manufacturing process, through our partner companies, we know exactly where our products come from and how they are made. We have been in the industry since 2006. With our teams on the ground monitoring all aspects of the manufacturing process, we ensure that ethical business practices are followed throughout our operations, and that there is minimal harm on the environment in how we obtain the raw material and produce CoirProducts coircoins.

CoirProducts coircoins also have high germination rates. Seeds require a certain temperature to germinate, while moisture is also essential for germinating seeds. It is important to ensure that the soil is kept moist during the germination stage. The natural properties of coir means CoirProducts coircoins hold water and moisture well, without the material becoming too waterlogged. Coir also has good aeration. Such natural characteristics of coircoins help plants develop strong and healthy root systems, which is vital for plant growth. The coircoins also allow roots to permeate through the coir as they grow, which means that there is no need to remove the plant if relocating, eliminating any transplanting shock. Coir also has neutral pH levels, which is ideal for growing vegetables and a variety of other plants and crops. With a host of benefits, CoirProducts coircoins are perfect for the eco-conscious gardener. They are also easy to use, and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
