Each 5Kg bale of compressed coir will expand to make approximately 65 litres. Can be used for seed raising or cutting and as a base for homemade composts or added to aerate garden waste compost.
NuGro is a perfect balanced plant food for using with coir bales, especially as an initial plant food and for subsequent feedings. NuGro is very easy to use.
To re-constitute your coir bales:-
You will need a wheelbarrow that is water tight. Fill with 15 litres of water per bale, leave to stand for 24 hours (this will even out the water content of your finished material). You will find the blocks expand to as much as three times their orginal size. Now you can break the material up with either a spade or fork or by using your hands, adding water to any dry material that may be left. To feed, use NuGro regularly at 5ml per litre (1Litre of NuGro will feed 5.5 Coir Bales).
Your coir bales can now be added to your own compost mixes or can be added to the well rotted manure, green waste, bark, sand, grit etc or can make them into potting compost by addinf our specially formulated plant food of 5F's Fertiliser.
Straight Coir contains only low amounts of plant nutrition but can be used for seeds and cuttings as long as they are potted up once established.
