Coco Peat / Coco Coir All Projar coir products are consistently of the highest quality, pre-washed with low EC and ready for use. Types of Coco Peat / Coco Coir We supply Structures, Shelving, Climate Control, Lighting & Nets Coco Peat Coco Fibre Coco Chips Phase Three Compost South Africa is facing a drought in various parts of the country, this has placed the straw farmers at risk who supply the mushroom farms with straw to make compost. A second area of concern is the avian bird flu which has placed chicken manure part of the compost mix also at risk. Lichen Group has been forwarding thinking and secured the agency for Sub Sahara Africa and the SADC region. The peat of coconut coir, this basically looks like finely ground coconut or peat moss. It s so small and absorbent that if you were to use coco peat as your only growing medium, you might drown out the roots of your plants. It must be aged properly to be used as a growing media, as it can let out salts that will kill your plant if you re not careful. Choosing a coconut coir manufacturer that ages properly is thus crucial for good growing. Coconut fibre adds air pockets into your medium. It s not very absorbent, which is good because your growing media needs air pockets in order to provide oxygen to the root zone. Coconut fibres do not break down quickly, which adds texture to the blend. Coconut chips are made from coconut husks that are run through chipping machines. They come in several sizes and are useful to growers who need to constantly provide nutrients to their crops. Drainage is outstanding and the coarse texture allows easy root penetration. 4 Lichen Group Company Profile phone:
