Cocopeat is a proven natural alternative to mined peat moss, therefore it can be slow down peat extraction from environmentally sensitive swamps. This is used as a growing medium while cocopeat is outperformed mostly the popular brands of peat and sphagnum peat.

The production and use of cocopeat does not pose a threat or any harm to other ecological systems as it is a totally organic renewable resource. Using cocopeat will be helpful to save precious water resources and decreases the use of chemical nutrients in seedling and other activities. Cocopeat is an excellent replacement for Rockwool for Hydroponic Growers, with no harmful environmental disposal problems.

Usages and Applications of Cocopeat Multi-purpose Growing Medium

Cocopeat is a multi purpose growing medium, that provides new opportunities for:

* Potting Mix Suppliers
* Seedling Nurseries
* Hydroponic Growers
* Golf Green Constructors
* Distributors of Horticultural and Gardening Products

Cocopeat have been identified as a good form to be used in seed raising and propagation mix around the world. All the experiments done by scientists in identifying a better media for growing purposes, have proven that coco peat with peat moss is the better media for growing commercial vegetable seedlings such as tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, egg plant, herbs, etc more than peat moss mixes. And also it is highly used for potting soil mixer, landscaping etc.

The main advantages of coco peat are:

* There is better air fill porosity combined with similar water holding to peat moss.
* Easy rewetting where peat is repel water when dry
* An affordable price for a quality product with an environmentally sustainable
future.
* Coco peat can be used as a seed raising mix anywhere from 50% to 100%.
* It can be combined with any of the normal ingredients for mixes.

i.e. perlite, vermiculite, washed sand, composted bark etc (depending on specific crop requirements) Cocopeat PH is ideal for seedling 5.8 - 6.5 pH use less liming than you would with peat moss, which is much more acidic often around 4pH. It is preferable to use gypsum or dolomite for Calcium. Plus magnesium you must also add trace elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur (comes with Iron sulfate and single super phosphate)

For an example, A mixture would be:

80% Cocopeat
10% fine perlite
10% vermiculite
Single Super phosphate 0.4Kg/m3
Calcium Nitrate 0.7 kg/m3
Magnesium Sulfate 0.4Kg/m3
Iron Sulfate heptahydrate 0.7kg/m3 or 0.4 of monohydrate
Copper Sulfate 0.02kg/m3
Liquid feed as required.
Check Ph & EC

Coco peat will use for your compost pile.

Coco peat can improve the composting process by speeding up the decomposition. Water is retained by coco peat and reduces the leaching of nutrients in the soil while it minimizes aborts in the compost pile. Because of it's acidity coco peat will trop and saves valuable nitrogen sources that are often last from compost help as ammonia.
Coco peat makes your compost more effective as it works in two different ways. Coco peat restructures the soil whereas compost provides nutrients by blending the two where you can reduce compost's tendency to compost the soil and thus allow more water air and nutrients to reach plant roots. In addition the coco peat and compost combination helps retain moisture in garden beds. Allowing gardeners to water less frequently. Coco peat also extends the life of compost in soil by four to five times. It has a reliable pH ( 5.4 - 6.4) which is environmentally friendly and free of insects, weeds, seeds, salts, and chemicals and represents good value. Thus, It helps as the ideal growing medium.
Coco peat use for your potting mixed.

If you use coco peat for your potting mixed it will be had advance given below.

1) The valuable nitrogen is saved in coco peat and moisture content is retained in your potting mix.
2) The volume should be expanded four to five times from the first volume provided.
3) Easily growing root and good airiness in your potting mix and lost aborts in your potting mixed.
4) Also, loosening mixed and easy handling and packing by loose form or compressing bale.
