Coco Chip Coir Mulch (Compressed)

Coco&Coir Compressed Coir Mulch. Our hugely popular mulch made from 100% natural and organic peat free coir husk chips in a convenient and easy to handle and deliver compressed format. Coir mulch helps retain soil moisture and reduces weed growth by up to 90%. it also helps deter pesky slugs and snails because of its texture. Once expanded this is ideal to add to beds and borders for a range of plant positive benefits, as well as decorative purposes. As it slowly breaks down in the soil, it also increases soil porosity, enriches it, and improves soil structure.

John Innes No.1 Compost

Our John Innes No.1 Peat Free compost is made from the 50 year old recipe of loam and horticultural grit combined with bark fines and COIR. It has a peat free formula but the addition of loam gives the young plants a base suited for young plant root development and to allow for the changing nutritional requirements of a growing plant.

For example, calcifuge plants such as Ericas and Rhododendrons should be grown in our John Innes Ericaceous Peat Free compost.
