Coir Peat

Anybody familar with coir peat? It appears at first look to be a good replacement for the standard peat moss.

Coir Peat is the 'coir fiber pith' or 'coir dust' produced as a bi-product when coconut husks are processed for the extraction of the long fibers from the husk. CoCo Coir Peat is the binding material that comes from the fiber fraction of the coconut husk.
A very Special Grade of coir dust is washed, screened and graded before being processed into various CoCo Coir Peat products for Horticultural and Agricultural applications.

I have used the slabs when starting cuttings and the cuttings seem to root quicker and produce a bigger mass of roots. I also noticed the survival rate was higher.

My thought would be that as a soil amendment you want something that will help keep the soils peds and capillaries open to exchange gases and moisture as well as to help retain moisture in the soil.This product seems to hold those qualities.

It would be interesting to do an experiment on some potting mix using peat moss in the mix and then making up a second mix with the same proportions and seeing what happens with the Coir Peat plants. If you get better results than with the peat moss it may be time to switch.

Coir is the outside layer of husk that surrounds the shell of the coconut. The Coir peat is enriched with neem for increased protection against pests and nematodes. The Parker neem coir peat is a superior growing medium in which to grow many planets and crops.
