Peat alternatives are now well established. In many ways coir is the product most like peat but has many attributes in its own right. Produced entirely from waste coconut fibres and dust it is a totally natural, renewable resource.For seed sowing it gives excellent germination producing a sturdy root system.The open structure of coir allows seedlings to be pricked out without root damage ensuring rapid growth and no check after potting on. Chempak Coir is available in convenient blocks which have been sun dried in Sri Lanka and compressed to make shipping economical. To re-constitute just add 2-3 litres of water. Fertilized Coir originally fertilized to balance natural nutrient, use as an all purpose seed and potting compost. Texture can be improved by addition of sand, perlite or vermiculite or add to peat composts for reduced peat composts. Each block makes at least 10 litres of fresh compost
