Cocopeat 5 kg Blocks
The working format of the world's growing media: washed, cured, pressed and papered on one estate.
What it is
Washed low EC cocopeat, pressed to travel
The 5 kg block is how growing media crosses the sea: coconut pith washed of its salts, cured, screened and pressed at 5:1 into a form that stacks true and travels dry. Anyone weighing coco peat blocks wholesale is really weighing the washing and the paperwork; the shape was settled by the trade long ago. Ours carries both, with a serial to prove it.
- Washed low EC cocopeat is the house standard: EC at or under 0.50 mS/cm at 1:1.5, stated on every lot's papers.
- Unwashed high EC pith is supplied on request only, and always with its figure stated; nothing leaves the yard unlabelled.
- Pressed at 5:1; each block re-wets to roughly 70-75 litres of open, even substrate.
- Screened to a 6 mm crumb with fines controlled, so the media drains and breathes as it should.
- The format behind the house's verified pallets: every lot on the register is built from these blocks.
