Parker organic, sustainable
alternative for peat: Coco Peat!
Out performs peat and saves the peat bogs! We
have the highest quality coir bricks.
How does
Coco Peat do this?
Coco peat can be used for seed
starting, bedding plants, planters, gardens, container plants. Anywhere
you would use peat moss. The properties of Coco Peat make it resistant
to bacterial and fungal growth.

Coco Peat holds water rather than shedding it
like traditional peat does! It holds 8-9 times it's weight in water.
Coco Peat has the ability to store and release
nutrient to plants for extended periods of time. It also has great
oxygenation properties which is important for healthy root development.
It has a pH of 5.2-6.8 which is neutral to
slightly acidic. This makes it great for alkaline garden soils.

Easy to use! Just put your compressed Coco Peat
brick in a container, add 4 quarts of warm water and let it sit until
the water is absorbed, fluff it up and you are ready to use Coco Peat!
Coco Peat can even be reused for up to 4 years!
It makes a great bedding material for worm bins!
It's actually good for them and increases worm growth by 25%.

Coco Peat is very slow to disintegrate, whereas
peat breaks down within two years after application, Coco Peat only
begins to break down when it is 10 years old, long term benefits.
Our customers and we are amazed at how well Coco
Peat does for seedlings and in general. All our seedlings have done
beautifully with it as a starting medium! Absolutely no damping off.
Seedlings have exhibited excellent foliar and root growth.
