Coir (coconut fiber) is a completely natural byproduct of the huge coconut growing industry of the island of Sri Lanka. Coir is an excellent growing medium for all kinds of containers and baskets. Improves other potting mixes when you blend them together. It retains plenty of moisture, but is very porous which allows for good air circulation and healthy root development of seedlings and cuttings. It is sterilized for freedom from weeds and plant pathogens.
This product is OMRI certified ORGANIC.

Love This Stuff
I started using coir fiber last year to amend the compact soil in my garden. It sure did work and I want to be sure I have some on hand.

Second time buyer! Used 8 gallons this time with great results. Makes pots, hanging and standing, so much lighter!

This is it!
I have found my life-long planting medium. Fine enough for seed starting and light enough for hanging and large planters. Stored extra 1 on top shelf in mud room! The directions don't say but if you use the whole block you need 10 gallons of water. Make sure the container is water-tight- I found out my wagon liner isn't.
