A product that has agricultural, horticultural, and industrial applications is what Cocopeat is.
Specifically, Cocopeat also can be called coir dust in recognition of its origins in coconut husk fibers. Industrially, it gets applied to slippery floors. Its agricultural use on animal farms is echoed in its role as an animal waste absorbent in pet houses. Horticulturally, it is a popular bedding material in worm bins. Horticulturally and agriculturally, it represents a preventative fungicidal treatment because of naturally hosting the Trichoderma fungus to protect plant roots from pythium pathogens. It serves as a quality potting soil when mixed with sand, fertilizer, and compost and a viable alternative to peat.
Many plants favor a soil pH in the neutral, 6.0-6.5 range. But they find Cocopeat's pH of 5.5-6.5 workable. Additionally, Cocopeat supplies:
· Cellulose and lignin to mushrooms;
· Conditioner and fertilizer to soil in Golf courses, greenhouses, lawns, and nurseries;
· Medium for plants in beds, hydroponics, planters, pots, and soil.

How do the Dutch Pot systems differ from the WaterFarm systems?
The Dutch Pot system has one chamber. It uses drip feeding by inline pumping. Everything drains to one reservoir. Smaller medium such as Cocopeat will not get into the nutrient stream, and clog pumps. The Dutch Pot system is organized around individual pots. Each pot can be individually irrigated. And each pot can be moved around. And each setting can be changed. So the system is flexible, inexpensive, and reliable. The Water Farm system works alone, or in cooperation with others. Each unit has a growing chamber, and a nutrient reservoir. An air pump is responsible for nutrient feeding. The medium is expanded clay pebbles. The Water Farm is easy for beginners to use. It is also a good choice for growing cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes. The three vegetables need longer growing periods, and more space for putting out roots. The Water Farm handles both requirements well.
