Coco & Coir compost

Putting aside Coco & Coir compost are very eco friendly and provide a great alternative to peat on a GardenAdvice test a couple of years ago we found that Coco compost out performed all other composts including our often recommended John Innes soil based compost for seed sowing especially vegetables.

Coco & Coir produce peat that’s made from the husk of a coconut, after the fibres from the coconut shell have been removed. Dealing with coconut shells is quite a process – thankfully, this post here goes into much detail about how the the shells get turned into something that you can use in the garden.

Coco peat is considered sustainable because coconuts themselves are renewable and can be farmed in abundance.

With pH levels ranging closer to the neutral scale, rather than acidic like peat, you can in a manner of saying, plug and play. Simply plant your seeds and watch them grow, with no need to add lime.

One your seedling start to grow and reach around 15mm its best to start feeding once every two week with a week mix of liquid tomato feed as Coco & Coir compost do not normally contain any nutrients
