Made from the natural byproducts of coconut cultivation (crushed coconut husks), this premium coconut coir product is a renewable and sustainable alternative to peat moss (sphagnum). Prococo CocoPeat's high moisture retention, mildly acidic pH and long-term effectiveness make it a fantastic choice for bedding, soil mediums, soil amendments and landscaping uses. Advantages to using coconut coir are numerous:

Coco coir is free of bacterial and fungal spores, so you will not introduce diseases into the garden or greenhouse.
Easy to hydrate. It decreases water and nutrient usage. Ideal for growing specialty products such as mushrooms and microgreens.
It has a pH of between 5.6 and 6.8. Many plants and microbes prefer mildly acidic soil. This pH allows plant roots to easily absorb nutrients.
Coir improves the overall quality of soil. With repeated applications or in the correct mix rates, soil will become more friable and loose.
It is resistant to mold and mildew. Prococo products are sterilized during production. Its low salt content limits salt buildup/burning.
CocoPeat is ideal when making custom soil mixtures. It can be mixed with potting soil, compost and other grow mediums/amendments to support the plants being grown.

CocoPeat can also be used as bedding for pets and livestock. Large animals like horses will find this coir comfortable in their stalls and small animals like reptiles will be equally pleased to find this in their habitats. The added humidity offered by CocoPeat aids in egg incubation, as well.

I'm a happy customer. I needed a large amount of coco coir for my vermicomposting worm bin and all the pet stores locally had coir priced pretty high. I found Arbico after searching the internet and found they had the best deal anywhere on coco coir blocks.

love this stuff!

I switched to coco coir instead of peat because of the environmental impact and carbon footprint of peat. Coco fibers are basically a leftover from the coconut, so it's a nice way to use up the whole coconut. Plus, I really love using coco coir. I put it into a big plastic tub and add more and more water as it expands. It's impressive how much water it absorbs and how huge it gets! Then you have a nice satisfying pile of fiber to mix into your soil. It blends in really well and lightens the whole soil. Last year I used it in some large metal planter boxes, and this year I'm using it in my greenhouse where the soil gets 'tired' quite fast. After adding a 10 lb block of coir, the soil is the best it's ever been. So far, my tomato plants approve. Next I want to experiment with making my own potting soil with coir. It would save money and be one more way to use coconut leftovers instead of virgin peat. Arbico has the best price + shipping for these big blocks of peat, and I was impressed by their selection and service and I've placed other orders since then. Glad I found them!
