Peat Free Coconut Compost

Coconut Compost is made from coconut fibre, or coir (pronounced koy-uh). It is a natural by-product harvested from coconut husks. Often used for doormats or rope, in this case it has been processed into a versatile growing medium for your garden.

Coir works as a peat alternative, offering similar benefits without the environmental impact of peat extraction. It's naturally durable, resists decay, and supports healthy plant growth across a range of applications, making it popular with commercial growers and keen gardeners.

Whether you're starting seeds, potting plants, or improving existing garden beds, coconut compost delivers reliable results whilst making use of a renewable resource that would otherwise be discarded. 

Available in various sizes, the lightweight and compressed packs are convenient to store and deliver to your door so no more struggling with heavy bags from the garden centre!

Ideal also as bedding for reptiles and amphibians, this sustainable compost supports healthy growth without peat.

Simply add 1.5 litres of lukewarm water to each 400g block to create rich, nutrient-friendly compost.
