Sustainable and Effective CocoPeat

Prococo CocoPeat is a fine, fibrous material derived from coconut husks, offering a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional peat moss. This product is a by-product of the coconut water industry, making it an environmentally responsible choice for soil conditioning.

• Eco-Friendly: Unlike peat moss, which is harvested from delicate wetland ecosystems, CocoPeat is a renewable resource that repurposes waste from coconut processing.
• Moisture Retention: CocoPeat excels at retaining moisture, holding 10 to 20 times its dry weight in water, which reduces the need for frequent irrigation and supports efficient water use in gardening.
• Durability: This material is long-lasting, maintaining its effectiveness for up to 4-5 years, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term plant care.

Structurally Beneficial CocoChip

Prococo CocoChip is a chunky, cubed material also made from coconut husks, designed to improve soil structure and aeration while retaining moisture. It is particularly effective for enhancing root development and maintaining healthy soil conditions.

• Soil Enhancement: CocoChip adds structure to soil, improving aeration and preventing compaction, which is essential for healthy root growth.
• Moisture Control: CocoChip balances moisture retention with drainage, making it an ideal medium for container plants and gardens.
• Versatile Use: CocoChip can be used as a mulch cover around fruit trees and vegetable plants, helping to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of garden beds.

Ideal Applications for CocoPeat and CocoChip

Prococo’s CocoPeat and CocoChip are versatile and suitable for a variety of gardening and horticultural uses:

• Hydroponics: These coconut-based products are OMRI listed and ideal for hydroponic systems, providing a stable and nutrient-rich growing medium.
• Seedling Blends and Microgreens: The fine texture of CocoPeat combined with the structural benefits of CocoChip makes these products perfect for starting seeds and growing microgreens.
• Terrariums and Herb Gardens: Both CocoPeat and CocoChip are excellent for creating the right balance of moisture and aeration in confined spaces like terrariums and small herb gardens.

Directions for Use

To prepare Prococo CocoPeat and CocoChip, place 1-2 compressed blocks in a large water-tight container such as a bin, tub, or wheelbarrow. Add about 4 gallons of water per block and let it soak until the material expands and breaks apart. Gently break up the blocks until they are free of clumps, ensuring the coir remains moist for optimal use.
