Welcome to MKR Cocopeat & Cococoirs
MKR COCOPEAT AND COIRS Coco peat and coco coir are both derived from the fibrous outer husk of a coconut and are often used interchangeably, although they have distinct characteristics. Coco peat, also known as coir pith, has a fine, powdery texture and is more nutrient-rich, while coco coir, or coconut fiber, has a coarser structure and better water retention capabilities. Both products are environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives to peat moss, as they are made from coconut husks, a renewable resource. They can be used individually or combined with potting soils to enhance water retention and aeration in plant growth media. Coco peat and coco coir are produced through different processes, with coco coir being made by grinding and processing the coarse fibers. Agro Green Coirs offers a range of coco peat and coir fiber products, emphasizing their water retention capacity and environmental benefits. In summary, while coco peat and coco coir are derived from the same material, they differ in texture and properties, making them suitable for various gardening and agricultural applications. To get coconut coir ready for hydroponic and gardening uses, it must undergo extensive processing. First, they need to remove the coir from the coconuts. This is done by soaking the husks in water to loosen and soften them. This is either done in tidal waters or freshwater. If done in tidal waters, the coconut coir will take up a large amount of salt, which will need to be flushed out by the manufacturer at a later stage. Then, they’re removed from the water bath and dried for over a year. After the drying process, which is quite extensive, the coir is organized into bales. These bales are then chopped and processed into various formats, from chips, to “croutons”, to classic ground coconut coir. Much more goes into the process of making coco coir safe and optimal for horticultural use.
