Coirpith, an eco-friendly growing medium

Coirpith is a waste material from the coir industry and is ideal for
gardening and horticultural needs. Coir pith is also known as coco
peat or coir dust. This homogenous material composed of millions of
capillary micro-sponges, absorb and hold water up to eight times it's
own weight.

Vayalar Coirpith Products is a leading producer and exporter of coir
pith products in South India . They produce coir pith blocks and coir
pith grow bags with low and high and high EC as per client
specifications.


That's nice. We could use it over here. How much carbon dioxide is released
into the atmosphere when you transport it thousands of miles across the
ocean?
