Today, they are still ideal for growing plants in the greenhouse, but there has been growing interest in using them as an alternative container. This is a 100% environmentally friendly product that could substitute artificial Rockwool. This product is commonly used in Greenhouses to grow vegetables and flowers. A planter slabs may contain 100% Peat, 100% Coco chips or a mix of both. Coco coir planter slabs provide excellent aeration and irrigation facilities for the growth of Plants. Featuring a special blend of coco chips and coir pith, these Coco Coir planter slabs provide excellent air to water ratio for hydroponics. The Plant holes, drip holes, and drainage holes can be predetermined. In the Coco coir planter slabs, the plants can be directly planted and grown. Plant holes on the upper surface of the planter slabs to accommodate the crops to be planted. Drainage holes may be provided for excessive irrigation.
Advantages
Generally used for larger vegetables such as tomatoes and peppers, growing-bags can also be used for a quick-maturing salad crop or for a ready supply of cut-and-come-again herbs and salad leaves.
On the other hand, planter slabs made of recycled plastic or fabric materials can last for 5 years or more with proper care. They can be cleaned and reused each year for planting annuals, or they can hold longer-lived perennials (or even young trees) until you transplant them to a more permanent location.
Because planter slabs are so well aerated, they dry out quickly once the plants they contain have grown large enough to fill them. So you'll probably need to water the bags at least once per day during the heat of summer. You often can determine whether an extra watering is necessary by lifting one corner of the container.
If you are shopping at a place like Amazon, fabric pots are cheaper than plastic and the difference is even more noticeable as the size goes up. Plastic pots last longer making fabric pots more expensive long term.
Availability
This is a coir fiber product specially designed for hydroponic cultivation. This product is thinked to plant directly, so you don't need a growing container. It is composed of compressed coir fiber. Coco peat has excellent drainage properties that ensures outstanding root development. The compact design enables you to optimize your logistics and storage
Coco Peat also known as coir pith or coir dust, is a byproduct of extracting fibres from the husk of a coconut. Coco peat is the binding material that comes from the fibre portion of the coconut husk. The coir dust is washed, heat treated, screened and graded before being processed into various Cocopeat products for Horticultural and Agricultural Applications and Industrial Absorbent.
Our coco peat is usually shipped in the form of compressed bales, briquettes, slabs and discs. The compressed cocopeat is converted into fluffy cocopeat by the addition of water. A single kilogram of cocopeat will expand to 15 litres of moist cocopeat. Cocopeat may also be mixed with sand, compost and fertilizer to make good quality potting soil.
Advantages of our coir peat are it provides good water retention property to soil, increases soil aeration, enhances soil wetting and acts as a solid potting medium and substratum for plants. In horticulture, cocopeat is recommended as substitute for peat because it is free of bacteria and fungal spores, and is sustainably produced without the environmental damage caused by peat mining. Cocopeat has high lignin and cellulose content which makes it ideal for growing mushrooms which thrive on the cellulose. Being a good absorbent, dry cocopeat can be used as an oil absorbent on slippery floors. Cocopeat is also used as bedding in animal farms and pet houses to absorb animal waste so the farm is kept clean and dry.
The coco peat grow bags are usually used for growing in greenhouses. It is used as a soil-free substitute in the farming and agriculture industry. Furthermore, this can be produced with varying ratios of coco peat and husk chips as per customer�¢??s requirements, and the chips are available in different sizes. This block generally accommodates a volume of 15-30 litres depending on the size of the block, and the height can expand to 8-12 cm after adding water.
