Coconut Fibre

Coconut fibre is becoming one of the more popular types of hydroponic media in use right now, partially because it is inexpensive but it holds water well without smothering roots. It is an all-natural and biodegradable material collected from the outside of coconut shells. It also goes by the name coir or coco peat. The fibre is sold in pressed blocks for easier handling. You have to break it apart before use. It works even better if you add some perlite to the mix for a little extra aeration and drainage.

As with other natural fibres, it can break down over time and constant exposure to water. This will lead to some debris in your water lines that will have to be handled.
