Available as compressed 5kg blocks, this is the most widely used variety of the coco peat. The peat is mixed into potting soil due to its high water and nutrient retention capacity, and also provides optimum aeration for plants. This can be used as a soil conditioner, or as growing medium on its own for soilless agriculture. The sponge-like nature of the coir pith makes it ideal for holding large quantities of water and oxygen in the soil thereby preventing the vital nutrients from leaching out.
