Coconut fibre eco-friendly alternative to peat
Planters’ Pride out of Brampton, Ontario has successfully tested and developed a new line of Fiber Grow pots, pellets, greenhouse kits and transplant kits, all made from coir (pronounced core), a biodegradable fibre created from plentiful and renewable coconut husks. As attention continues to focus on the detrimental effects of peat harvesting, Fiber Grow products offer a non-peat alternative with signifi cant benefi ts.
Fiber Grow attributes include: high durability compared to peat pots; biodegradability in soil in the case of pellets, and in compost facilities with pots; coconut coir-based starter disks expand up to ten times faster than competing peat pellets; and pots come in an attractive, natural brown colour.
