Frequently asked questions
Is coir peat the same as peat moss?
No. Coir comes from coconut husks, while peat moss has a different origin. Choose coir when your recipe calls for coco peat or coconut coir.
Does coir peat replace fertiliser?
No. Coir is a growing medium and should not be relied on to provide a complete plant diet. Use a suitable fertiliser or nutrient program for the plants you are growing.
