Grow something meaningful this July with CoirProducts: the plastic-free way

July is the heart of summer — long days, warm nights, and gardens filled with life. It’s also a moment of possibility: a chance to sow new seeds, start fresh, and make more mindful choices in how we grow.

At CoirProducts.co.uk, we believe gardening should do more than feed us — it should heal, connect, and nurture. Ourselves. Our communities. And the planet we all share.

And this month, as we celebrate plastic free July, we’re inviting you to grow differently — and grow better.

What to sow in July

Even though the peak of spring sowing has passed, July is a great time to plant quick-growing crops and prep for a late harvest. Here are some of our favourites:

•     Salad leaves – rocket, lettuce, and mizuna thrive in warm weather and grow fast. Sow in succession for a steady supply.
  
•     Spring onions – perfect for coir pots, easy to grow, and ready in just a few weeks.
  
•     Beetroot – sow now and you’ll be harvesting tender baby beets by early autumn.
  
•     Kale – hardy and nutrient-rich, kale is a brilliant option for late-season planting.
  
•     Carrots – choose fast-maturing varieties for an autumn harvest.
  
•     French beans – there’s still time for one more sowing, especially in warmer areas.

This is a brilliant time to get children involved, reconnect with the soil, and rediscover the quiet joy of watching something grow.

How CoirProducts can help you this July

With UK’s largest portfolio of coir products, we bring a variety of high-quality growing media to suit diverse gardening needs.

Our Coir Vital Grow® potting mix is versatile and easy to use. Coming in a range of sizes, it’s completely peat-free and ideal for growing various plants and crops. For added benefits, try our Coir Plus® that comes with NPK or Coir Nutri®, a revolutionary, first-of-its-kind decomposed coir enriched with NPK.

Our Coir Pots are not only stylish but functional. Available in a variety of unique sizes, they allow roots to grow through the pot, meaning there is no transplanting shock when repotting. Simply place the pot in the ground as the plant grows, and the pot will decompose into the soil over time. To add some charm to your garden, try our coir hanging baskets.

Our CoirCoins® are unique in their market, coming with a fully biodegradable cover, and in four distinct sizes – ideal for getting your seeds started indoors or out. Try our coir seed trays too – perfect to move away from the plastics.

We’ve also got a superb range of plant supports, like our coir grow poles (also called mosspoles), while our coir mulch mats are perfect for blocking the sun and protecting your plants from unwanted undergrowth.

Each product has high water holding capacity and excellent air porosity, allowing plants to grow stronger and healthier roots.

How CoirProducts puts growers first

At CoirProducts, we’ve seen too many companies cutting corners and resorting to unethical and unfair practices. We’ve had our fair-share of challenges, but for us, what matters is real change. That’s why, since our inception, we’ve put purpose over profit, adopting a holistic approach to our work centered on community, sustainability, and innovation.

This is what we promise to you through our grower-first approach:

✅ Community-first — Our team has always, from inception been dedicated, and driven by impact, not focus on the  community when there is less work. 

We’re not here to jump on trends. We’re here to build a better way to grow — long term.

Why this matters

Your garden is more than just a space to grow plants — it’s a space to grow change. Every seed you sow, every pot you choose, every compost you use… it’s a choice.

So why not make it a good one? One that supports people. One that protects the earth. One that your kids can be proud of.

This Plastic Free July, start small:
  🌱 Swap your plastic pot for a biodegradable coir pots.
  🌱 Choose potting mix that doesn’t destroy peatlands.
  🌱 Avoid throwaway packaging and make your own refills.
  🌱 Support companies that support people — not just profits.

Because how we grow… matters.

Let’s grow with purpose

This July, let’s plant seeds that go beyond the garden bed. Let’s grow honesty. Let’s grow fairness. Let’s grow community, and care, and change.
