Small Planks

An organic potting medium made from natural coconut husk fibers, this all natural material is not only ideal for hydroponics and mixed media cultivation, but is an excellent soil conditioner as well. This product was specially developed for container growing where 8 Planks of 36 CM X 17.5 CM X 8.5 CM are bundled, bagged and wrapped with a natural coir rope for ease of carrying.

Each Ecopeat small plank weighing approximately 1.9 - 2.0 Kilos when added to 10 litres of water, expands to over 30 Litres of premium grade potting medium.

The pH of Ecopeat ranges between 5.9 and 6.3, which maes it an ideal soil amendment. Ecopeat products are free from weed seeds or diseases, and can be used as a peat moss replacement in potting mixes or alone as a potting medium.

Ecopeat small planks are made from a blend of old Cocopeat, treated Cocopeat and washed Cocopeat sifted <2 mm mesh and <16 mm mesh. The batch mix is double blended for homogeneous output, colour and analytical properties. The structure is moderately robust as opposed to the coffee ground consistency of competitive products, which results in a much higher air to water ratio, extremely important for healthy root development. This promotes stronger root systems with better nutrient absorption resulting in excellent growth and plant formation.
