Frequently Asked Questions

What is this medium made of?

100% all-natural premium coconut coir. It's marketed as a renewable substitute for traditional peat moss.

Can I use it in hydroponics?

Yes, it's used as both a hydroponic and growing medium. The same compressed block works whether you're filling containers or a hydroponic system.

How much does the block expand?

The 11lb compressed block expands to approximately 3cu ft once fully wetted. That expansion ratio is why the dry block ships and stores in a fraction of the space of the finished medium.

Why choose coconut coir over peat?

It's an eco-friendly way to improve soil while helping preserve natural peat bogs. Peat bogs regenerate far more slowly than coconut coir can be produced.
