Boost your composting efforts with this eco-friendly compost additive. The Good Ideas Natural Coco Fiber Compost Additive is a 100% organic boost for your soil and an excellent way to increase the water absorption of potting soil. Coco fiber (also known as pitch or coir) is an all-natural byproduct of coconut plantations. It's a renewable supplemental carbon resource that assists in the decomposition of kitchen and yard waste during the composting process, and it offers several advantages over peat moss:
- Holds water without additional additives
- Absorbs water evenly without surface beading
- Has more nutrients
- Has a neutral pH balance
- Is free from seeds and pathogens
Coco fiber's main benefit is that it increases water absorption, which keeps compost moist. Other benefits include:
- Increases carbon exchange capacity in your yard
- Carbon exchange helps plants develop strong stems
- Carbon exchange helps plants recover from bug damage
- Resists compacting and helps loosen compact ground
- Excellent for potting, raised bed planting, and landscaping
- 100% organic
- Remains effective for up to 5 years
Whether you use Coco Coir for composting, potting, raised bed planting, or landscaping, you'll see a noticeable difference quickly. In fact, the addition of a brick or two to your compost pile will help create a nutrient-rich soil in a matter of weeks. Each additive brick weighs 1.43 pounds and can be used for approximately 0.33-cubic-foot of soil or compost material. Once expanded, the volume of a single brick of compost additive measures about 2-2.5 gallons.
