Our exclusive ECO-CO is an earth-friendly planting mix derived from coconut husks. Its perfect to use on its own as a planting mix in pots， planters and window boxes， or as a peat-free alternative when you make your own planting mixes. Unlike other coco coir products， our ECO-CO undergoes a special process to remove salts and to balance the pH for optimal plant growth. Coco coir has excellent water-holding capacity， yet drains well - so important for healthy root growth. Our blend is a mix of fine and coarse grinds to provide the perfect environment for plant roots. Carbon-rich coir is also handy for layering with nitrogen-rich kitchen scraps and lawn clippings in the compost pile. It also makes a good bedding material for worm composters. Simply add water and each convenient compressed ECO-CO brick expands to 10 quarts of fluffy mix.
