How does coconut compost work?

Add 65 litres of water, let it expand and mix it. To get a larger volume, repeat the process.
Coconut compost is a peat-free, multi-purpose compost containing all essential plant nutrients, plus trace elements. Recommended for seed sowing, potting, houseplants, containers and hanging baskets. It is a completely homogenous material composed of millions of capillary micro-sponges that absorb and hold up to eight times their own weight in water.

Coconut compost, also known as 'coir fibre pith' or 'coir dust', is a spongy, natural and renewable resource produced from the processing of coconut husks, for coir fibre by the coconut industries.

Why use coconut compost?

I have used large amounts of coconut compost in many gardening projects for several reasons.
1) Due to being lightweight and compact, it was easier than other composts to carry so I used it in many roof gardens and indoor projects where I planted in large planters (so it is easier to move them later also they tend to grow faster as more air is supplied to the roots)

2) One of the best planting media that there are –this is why many nurseries around the world use it for big pots plants, hanging baskets and more uses- results are just great. Due to its composition it is easy to grow big plants quickly –much faster than most other planting medias- as it provides lots of air and water to the roots. The results were impressive growth and, due to low weight soil, it was easy to move the big plants. Important is to feed well as the plants grow a bit faster than usual. In some cases it used as part of the mix together with compost.

3) If you are doing a project with children (or you are children just older-like most of us) and want to have some fun- it is amazing how it expands and expands and …expands to a volume of 60 and even 80 litres if you repeat the process twice.

The rapid re-wet ability and quick draining characteristics prevents the loss of nutrients through leaching

Compost for raised beds

Coco fibre compost is great as compost for raised beds, it is easy to carry, you can lift it into the raised bed.
A good compost for raised beds needs to be airy and have th ability to hold water well. This is why coco fibre is good for that- as it does both jobs well.
