How to Use Coco Peat In Garden
Coco peat can be directly incorporated into the garden soil to improve water retention, aeration and decrease the risk of the soil fungus and root diseases. Mix in soil at 25/75 ratio.
It can also be used as a mulch around garden plants to help the soil retain moisture and prevent weed growth.
How to Use Coco Peat in Pots
Coco peat can be used as a soil-less growing medium for potted plants or in aqua-culture growing environments. Add the reconstituted bricks to planters, leaving 1 inch of space below the planter rim. Plant a seed or seedling in the center. Fertilizer and soil will need to be added to sustain a plant long-term when it’s planted in coco peat.
If you don’t know how to use coco peat in pots–the way is to add a 1/4 part of coco peat in the potting mix.
Container gardens dry out faster, so apply a 1-inch layer of coco peat over the container soil to help the soil retain moisture.
Coco peat can also be as a sole growing medium for starting seeds. Once the shoots start to form you can transplant seedlings into
How to Use Coco Coir in Hydroponics Systems
To use coir in a hydroponic system, you will need to make a few changes to how you would normally do things.
Be sure to rinse the coir well because it is naturally high in salts, and while high-quality coir should be already rinsed, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Rinse until the water running off is clear. After rinsing, you will find that coir tends to clump. Just break it apart with your hands so it is loose before planting.
And finally, you might need to use a nutrient mix that is specific for coir growing. This is because of coir’s ability to hold and release certain nutrients, as mentioned earlier. Even if you have the perfect nutrient balance in the reservoir, you may still see signs of deficiencies if you don’t take account for how coir provides those nutrients to your plants.
Why use Coco Peat ?
derived from the coconut hull, is made from the fibrous material between the outer husk and the actual coconut.
Originally, coir was used for making cordage and ropes in ancient Sri Lanka. It has also been used for making mats and other flooring materials.
In the 1980's, it was first used commercially in Holland to grow roses and lilies. Because coir and peat worked so well to promote root growth, growers started using it for hydroponic gardening.
