Yesterday we received a delivery of Coir Coco Cocopeat buffered bales .

Some Coir facts:
Coir, Coco and Cocopeat are all the same thing.


You normally have two different sizes of coir products,
1. Coir or Coco or Cocopeat Bale:
 5 Kg in weight
30cm x 30cm x 20cm(approx)
Expands to 70 litres of final product

2. Coir or Coco or Cocopeat Briquette(Brick)
650grams in weight
20 cm x 10 cm x 5cm
Expands to 9 litres

3. 3 Types, Washed, Organic and buffered.

Washed is naturally washed and sun dried.
Organic is produced from  coconut trees that have been farmed organically and then washed
Buffered is chemically changed to reduce the ions by washing the coir in calcium nitrate.

For all 3 types of coir visit Fertile Fibre

Fertile Fibre welcome a group from U3A

Fertile Fibre welcomed a group from U3A Gardeners and composters for a tour of the factory and discussion on Organic compost and Coir.
We explained the history of Fertile Fibre from Robert Hirst over 25 years ago to today. We discussed modern markets and the difficulty of getting any PR and supplying large retailers, we also followed the paper trail that is needed to conform to the Soil Association Standard and our application to join Demeter. Nobody left empty handed.
