Good Day to All,
Marty,

I am using the coco-peat,coming out of Sri Lanka.
It lasts about 1 year when mixed with compost or
manure in a tropical climate.Use sparingly as it holds
a great deal of water.
I only have good things to say about the product.

Do an archival search for my name and I believe the
headline is,Coco-peat,for the on-line address of the
company to get more information.Sometime last year.

I don't post too frequently and so it should be easy
to find it,if you need to.

Billy,
if you want a more durable and lasting soil conditioner
that is organic.See if anyone supplies the ground
coconut shell.It is used in drilling for oil and is very
durable.Lasts about three years in the compost heap
down here as chips.
I use it to help aerate the pile.

Until later.
Stay well all.

I've been reading about Coir, the soil conditioner. Anyone out there who
has experimented with it?
Marty
