Super Washed Coco Peat Bricks

Super Washed Coco Peat Bricks 5Kg brick yields about 50 – 60L. Please note that 5kg weight is approximate (Between 4 and 5kg. The block weight should not have an effect on the volume yield). EC : Below 0.5 mS/cm – test method (RHP) pH : 6.0 ~ 6.8 Sieving : 6 mm / 8mm (Depending on availability) Cocopeat, pressed into Coco peat bricks, has a negatively charged complex, surrounded by a couple of positively charged ions: sodium and potassium. Because these elements stick to the complex, like iron to a magnet, there is no danger to the plant root initially. The problem starts when fertilizing with calcium. The calcium will push the potassium and sodium aside and take their position. Consequently, the calcium that is connected to the complex won’t be available to the plant, while sodium and potassium that are released into the water will be available. To avoid this ‘time bomb’ problem, the Cocopeat needs to be buffered. In buffered cocopeat the ion exchange, as we call the process where calcium pushes the other ions off the complex, has already taken place.
