botanicare coir fiber trich?
    #14316717 - 04/19/11 11:17 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

i have a brick of botanicare cocogrow coir fiber, dose this brand have trich? here is sum info on it i dont see anything or anyone saying it dose.

American Agritech has sourced the worlds most premium coir fiber. Cocogro has a very low salt content that is available in double-sieved long fibers to reduce dust and give ample space within the mix.

Cocogro has excellent drainage properties and can be used over a longer period of time than coir fiber with shorter fibers. With longer fibers and reduced dust, growers will experience an optimal air to water ratio, which is vital for strong root development.

Cocogro is unique because it is not chemically treated like other coir fibers on the market. Cocogro is a superior coir fiber because it is aged a minimum of 18 months and has finished its decomposition stage. In addition, Cocogro passes through at least three monsoon seasons, which naturally washes away harmful salts out of the final product. Most other coir fibers are only 4 to 5 months old and have excessive potassium and salts and thus have to be chemically treated.

Cocogro contains 3/4 long, doublesieved
fibers to reduce dust, provide
air space and optimal air to water ratio
for strong root development. Cocogro
has excellent drainage properties
allowing it to be used longer than coir
with shorter fibers. Our coir fiber is
aged a minimum of 18 months to finish
its decomposition stage. In addition,
Cocogro is exposed to rain water from
at least 3 monsoon seasons, which
naturally washes harmful salts from
the final product. Many other coir
fibers are aged only 4 to 5 months and
may have excessive potassium and
salts that require chemical treatment.

Cocogro:
• Ideal for self watering pots and
planters, container gardens
and hydrogardens
• Perfect for planting fruits, flowers,
vegetables, herbs, greens,
houseplants, orchids, cacti
and succulents

the package will state specifically whether or not it has trich in it...it sounds like it doesn't.

I use eco-earth coir from the pet store (it's cheaper than the hydro store) Bed-a-Beast works too, I've heard.

Botanicare CocoGro is not inoculated with Trichoderma spp.

How much is a brick the pet store? Less than $2.40 a brick?

I get mine for just under $2 per brick. If it's  a small pet store, see if they'll give you a quantity discount. Just tell them a buddy has a reptile farm outside of town & you pick up his coir for him.
