Sure. The coir, which is the fibre from the husk is an excellent growing medium.

  • Soft structure enables easy root penetration
  • High water holding capacity
  • Ideal pH
  • Some anti fungal properties
  • High in phosphorous and potassium
  • Renewable resource and environmentally friendly
  • Lightweight and easy to use
