The advantages of using Coco Peat in a planting medium

Coco peat (cocopeat) is one of the medium mixture that we used in our product-Agrobio EASY GROW. Coco peat has a lot of advantages compared to the normal soil medium for planting. Coco peat, also known as coir pith, coir fibre pith, coir dust, or simply coir, is made from coconut husks, which are byproducts of other industries that use coconuts.

Advantages of coco peat:
*Coco peat is light in weight
*Coco peat is environmentally friendly
*The top of the product layer in grow bags/pot always remain dry, which prevent fungal growth activity
*Coco peat never shrinks, cracks or produces crust
*It gives your plant a better root systems in a short period of time
*Coco peat is odourless, easy to handle and uniform in composition
