What is Peat Moss?

Baltic Peat Moss is a natural and unique material which remains the most important basic substance for use in growing media. Ideal for propagation and finish production of crops. It does not contain harmful microorganisms or weed seeds unlike poorly processed compost. It is ideal for planting fruits and vegetables that are acid loving such as strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes and revitalising garden lawns.

What is Coco Coir?

Coco coir is a byproduct of coconut fiber. It is an organic and  environmentally sustainable substrate made using fibre from coconut shells. The tiny grains of coir are extracted from the coconut shell and pulverized into a growing substrate.

Combined Benefits

Moisture retention

Highly absorbent material and retain water much better than other types of growing medium. Addition of coco coir prevents stagnation and compaction. Great for seed starting, propagation and crop production

Sterile medium
