Coconut Coir is produced from the pith and fibres of the coconut husk. Using an age old process the pith is extracted from the husk, creating a material with only minimal amount of fibres. This is used to create our Cocogrow Bricks. Coarser grades are produced from the whole husk that is chopped and crushed to form large chips. This material is used for our Mulch.

Cocogrow Bricks – 5-8 litres/kg of dry material
Cocogrow Pure/Fusion – 6 litres/kg of dry material

REMEMBER: Never let CocoGrow Bags sit in water as they act like a sponge and will take the water back into the slab. Make sure if your CocoGrow Bag is on an angle that the drainage slits are cut at the lowest point, preferably not under the plants or where the dripper enters the slab.
The best way to measure water content is by using up a weigh scale. CocoGrow Bags must lose at least 1kg of weight per night before commencing your water schedule the next day.

Cocogrow Brick – For the maximum yield of a brick of coir immerse the brick in water at a rate of 6-8 litres per kilo. The warmer the water the faster it will absorb, we recommend water temperature of 50-60C (122-140F). This will hydrate the brick in a very short time, however, allow around 20-40min for the Brick to completely absorb the water, using your hands to break up any parts of the brick to allow faster absorption and expansion. Once hydrated drain off the surplus water.
Be careful not to use boiling water, or burn your hands if mixing the coir.

Cocogrow Pure/Fusion – These are ready to use out of the bag. 

CocoGrow Bag – Lay out a plastic floor covering and position the CocoGrow Bags as desired. Poke your dripper through  the plastic to hydrate the coir slab with the recommended solution. Once hydrated, cut holes for plants and drainage slits. To allow plenty of drainage make vertical cuts (2-3cm/1") on each side of the slab by running the knife up from the base. Place your Stone wool/cube or bottomless pot with plant on top of slab. Place your dripper into the Stone wool/cube or bottomless pot.

Cocogrow Bricks are lightweight and compact, eliminating the need to move heavy soil bags around your garden. This makes them ideal for gardeners looking for a more manageable and mobility-friendly gardening solution.

Trials have shown that coir will retain its structure and not break down for the duration of the plants growth cycle. In fact, the Brick and Pure materials have been used for several years by a grower without needing to replace their potting mix.
