Chipping the husk of coconuts into small pieces is the first step towards the production of Coco Chips. The chips are then passed through a steve to separate three fractions: rough, medium and tiny. During the third stage, the chips are being treated to reduce their E.C. to less than 0.5 ms/cm and their pH to between 6 and 7.
The result is a very clean substrate without impurities such as graines of weeds, fungi or bacteria, and it can obsorbe and refain up to 8 times its own weight of water. Henceforth, Coco Chips meets the highest standards applicable to horticultural substrates in the world.
Extended applications
- As a soil improver, Coco Chips retains the water in poor or sandy soils and improves the structure of heavy soils. The chips can be applied to the soil before sawing a lawn, arranging private or public gardens and golf-courses.
- In hydroculture, to grow flowers, vegetables and ornamental plants.
- To grow potted plants in Coco Chips alone or in a mixture of chips with other substrates yields excellent results.
- As a groundcover, apply Coco Chips to cover the area of a riding school, to build natural paths in gardens and woods and to mulch the soil between young plants in order to suppress weeds, to reduce maintenance and to keep moist in.
Fully ecological
Coco Chips is entirely biodegradable and the production of the chips is in no way harmful to the environment. Natural waist from coconut plantations is being transformed into an ecological substrate or mulch without deminishing the natural resources of our planet. After rincing to reduce the salt and dust, the chips are sundried. To the contrary, the extraction of peat and forest soil has proved to be devastating for both the landscape and the ecosystem.
