COCO BRICK
HOW COCO BRICKS ARE MADE: The coconut husks are removed, and the fibers are then loosened and softened by soaking. After that, they are taken out of the water to dry for up to a year. The fibers go through sorting and processing after drying. Bricks made of coco coir are made by compressing finely chopped fibers.
Coco bricks are hard and compact. To bring them back into a soil-like texture, the coco bricks can be soaked in water so that rehydration occurs. However excess moist coco coir can cause root rot in crops.
BENEFITS OF COCO COIR:
- Coco coir is best known for its water-absorbing capacity.
- Coco coir can retain water up to10 times its weight.
- Thus, coco coir is widely used in mixtures of vermicompost and perlite. It is a very popular gardening mixture used nowadays.
- It is readily available.
HOW COCO COIR CAN BE USED:
- Coco coir can be used for raising seedlings in the nursery.
- It can be added to the potting mixture.
- Coco coir beds are also used to produce vermicompost (using organic wastes) as they provide optimum moisture for earthworms.
