Is store bought coco coir composted already
Excellent edit! Is there a video outlining how to mix the liquid nutrients? I have purchased Cocos A & B by a company called Home Garden and would like to know how to mix them correctly. Thank you!
I just got into planting and I make soil with coco coir, pumice, and worm castings. And then fertilize with liquid fish and chelated iron. Is this good?
It’s now $28.00 at Amazon.
I have coco coir block. Only 1 dollar = 1 kg coco coir.
Coir has become one of the most favoured ingredient in all potting soil and substrate mixes due to its unique properties and plays an important role in reducing and replacing peat in the mixes…
Yo, that montage song is LIT. What is the name?
Great video, vibbed hard during the rehydration scene but overall a lot of great information!
In case anyone is wondering between the difference of Perlite and Vermiculite. Vermiculite will mix with soil and help it retain water while perlite will add drainage to the soil when mixed.
Coco peat for tarantula

Thanks for excellent presentation on making growing media with coconut coir and organic material. It is available because it is a forest product. The benefits of coconut coir is found in the following sectors:
– Nursery seedlings management.
– Rooftop gardening
– Greenhouse & polly house cultivation.
– Commercial seed research farm.
This guy: Buys sterile coconut coir.
Also this guy: Adds rain water to soak it, completely nigating the point of it being sterile.
This guy: "Expands to almost 10x it’s volume"
The coconut coir: Expands to 2x it’s volume.
Can we re use same cockpit again and again?
Is this also good for monsteras and/or philodendrons?
Great info thanks
What about peat moss vs. coco coir?
I watched in 1.5x speed
Sangat bermanfaat informasi jadi pengen menanam bunga trus
Do you have to rinse the coir to eliminate salt? Coconuts grow near oceans and absorb a lot of salt. Thank you for your answer.
Would this mix be ok if i was making a closed terrarium? Very good video and easy to follow. Thanks
You lost me at 10 times is volume 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I use this mix for nearly everything I have planted. All are growing perfectly!!
I read somewhere that Coco Coir has some salt and we need to wash it and use it. Is it true. Thanks for your videos
Thank you
Thank you for this very informative video! So helpful!
Tyfs❤😁👏🏾
Do you let it dry out before using it? Can I use worm castings instead of compost? And if I use worm castings do I need the Azomite?
There’s not much NPK in kelp tho, but the fish emulsion has loads of N, so much that it can burn your plants if not used right.
1:02 “Let the Brrrrick absorb all the water” 😂
Thanks for the info, this video helped a ton.
thanks
I like your accent and love the way you say "brick" and "potassium".
Porring mix 😂 I’m only laughing cause I’m Indian, it’s allowed 😒

I add a liquid fertilizer/fish emulsion mixed in rainwater to the coconut coir block at the very beginning of the process.

4:47 for the potting mix recipe
I have lots of coconuts how do they grind it up where do I get the machine please
Will this work for tomato plants?
Better to add fertilizer to water first. This way it’s evenly in the mix
rinse the coco coir to rinse out salt which will kill your plants.
Amazing video compiled on the utilization of coconut choir for natural remediation
Nice music

On coir and potassium:
In unbuffered coir, the potassium is locked up at the cation (positive ions, like K+, and Na+) exchange sites. There, they will remain until double positive ions like Mg++ and Ca++ come along, for which the exchange sites have a greater affinity, being double negatively charged. So what happens is, when Mg++ & Ca++ comes along, they are adsorbed to release the K+ and Na+. That is to say, the Mg++ and Ca++ become unavailable for your plants as they are *exchanged* for the K+ and Na+, which become available. It causes Mg and Ca deficiency, while potentially can also cause K toxicity.
Either pay the extra money for properly buffered coir, or you can do it yourself by soaking it in an abundance of double-strength Cal-Mag solution for at least 15 minutes. After which time, the cation exchange sites will have reached equilibrium. The Cal-Mag solution will have a reduced concentration of Ca & Mg, and will have picked up a rich dose of K. So go ahead and re-use the solution as a fertilizer for your plants that are ready to flower or fruit. The buffered coir meanwhile is ready to go, and you wont have to worry about it withholding the Ca and Mg that your seedlings so desperately require, or receiving an unnecessarily high, or potentially toxic dose of K.
Nice, this is easy to follow and simple to do. Also, thank you for the tip about peat being a finite resource vs coconut coir being renewable. I do want to use more renewable resources.
thank you!!
