COCONUT FIBER in the urban garden, Yes or no?

Many times, when choosing a substrate for our crops or plants, we are not sure what suits us best, especially if we are unfamiliar with the properties of some of them, such as coconut fiber. In other GARDEN WEB posts, we have told you what coconut fiber is and what it is used for, but we will remind you.

Coconut fiber and its properties for the garden

Due to its characteristics, coconut fiber retains a lot of water and moisture, which helps to retain nutrients and preserve them for a longer period of time. In addition, since it is very fibrous, it also has a great aeration capacity, which is excellent for plant roots as they do not get drowned or compacted.

Coconut blocks have an insulating effect

Another advantage is that it also has an insulating effect, which prevents weeds and pests. It also solves the deficiencies of a normal crop due to what we mentioned before, its ability to absorb and retain nutrients.

In addition, this type of substrate is much cleaner than others as it does not stain or splash when watered, but rehydrates.

Organic substrate ideal for plant root development

Also, due to its properties, it is excellent for promoting root development, meaning it gives us the opportunity to plant without using treatments. However, crops grown in coconut fiber periodically require some type of fertilizer or compost (we recommend Osmocote, which is controlled and prolonged release) to improve nutritional intake.

That said, the advantages of coconut fiber for a small garden or urban orchard are clear, don't you agree with this new ecological way of growing?
