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. |

How much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere when you transport it thousands of miles across the ocean? Probably about the same amount as other things that *you* eat, wear or use. We do not grow rice in Yorkshire (yet) |

We do not grow rice in Yorkshire (yet) Yes. We have no bananas. Either. I don't eat rice except with takeaway curry, as we don't grow it. Yet. And I make a BIG point of not buying/eating anything we don't grow. I think I'm alone :-) So you do eat rice. BTW the rest of the curry probably has little or no UK grown food. How do you extrapolate your anti foreign goods feelings into other aspects of your life? |

I don't have an anti-foreign-goods feeling, I have an anti-releasing-carbon-dioxide-into-the-ozone-layer type of one. The rest of the curry, BTW, has chicken tikka, various spices and such, (admittedly which are not UK-grown but are in such lightweight quantities that I let them through the net,) potatoes, and mushrooms. We grow them, and I happen to know that Mr Curry gets his veg off Mr Greengrocer and Mr Greengrocer tries as hard as he can to provide planet-friendly stuff, which is why I use him. And I /know/ I'm making the tiniest of differences, but I am proud to do that /tiniest/ little bit. And I recycle everything I can. I wish more people did. |

I was genuinely interested in how far you go in your "anti CO2 " thingy. It really is hard work and virtually impossible to apply to everything. You are quite right to feel proud-doing your bit |

To be pedantic the problem is with carbon dioxide in the lower atmosphere (troposphere) wheras the ozone layer is in the stratosphere. More to the issue dried coir is very light so energy requirements of transporting will be small. OTOH Draining peat bogs allows them to oxidise which releases large quantities of carbon dioxide. An anti-releasing-carbon-dioxide feeling is all to the good - especially in terms of personal transport - see sig. Regards Paul -- CTC Right to Ride Representative for Richmond upon Thames |
