Our coir blocks are perfect to use as bedding when starting off worms in a wormery or for mixing with worm casts to make a finished coir compost. The coir bricks are delivered dry and are pleasant to handle.

Made from compressed coconut fibres, coir blocks make a very practical alternative to peat.

Just add water and within minutes you'll have a high quality compost base that's ready to use.

Organic Peat Free Compost Base. Makes approx 9 litres of compost. Coir is ideal for seeds and cuttings. It can be used as a base for homemade composts or added to aerate garden waste composts. Coir is known by many different names including coco peat, and coconut husks. Our coir blocks are about the same size as a standard house brick. The compressed coir expands as you add water and ends up making around 9 litres of compost.

Coir is a peat alternative and can be used for seeds and cuttings as long as they are potted up once established. If you make your own compost mixing it with coir is the perfect way to make a potting or seed compost.

How to use your coir block
  • You will need a large bucket/bowl or a watertight wheelbarrow.
  • Add 3 litres of water (warm water acts faster) per block.
  • Leave to stand for 24 hours. This will even out the water content of your finished material.
  • You will find the blocks will expand to as much as three times their original size.
  • Break up the material with either a small spade or fork or by hand
