Potting Mixes • Houseplants • Herbs & Lettuce • Seed Starting • Propagation • DIY Soil Recipes • Media-Based Hydroponics

70% washed, buffered coconut coir and 30% parboiled rice hulls.

Improve an existing potting mix: Blend Coconut Coir & Rice Hulls into your potting mix when you want additional moisture-holding ability and air space around the roots.

A simple starting point is 1 part Coconut Coir & Rice Hulls to 3 parts potting mix. Adjust from there based on what you are growing.

Houseplants & containers: Mix into your regular potting mix for indoor plants, patio containers, herbs and other container plants.

Herbs & lettuce: A useful addition to indoor growing mixes for basil, parsley, chives, loose-leaf lettuce and other container-grown greens. Use containers with good drainage and plenty of light.

Each bag contains 8 quarts.

Using the simple 1 part amendment to 3 parts potting mix starting ratio:

1 bag (8 QT) + 24 QT potting mix = about 32 QT of finished mix.

Yes — this blend can be used for seed starting. The coconut coir helps hold moisture around germinating seeds while the rice hulls help keep air in the root zone.

For seed trays and small pots, use it as part of your seed-starting blend or combine it with a finer seed-starting mix.

Tip: Very tiny seeds and very small plug cells are often easier to work with in a finer-textured mix.

It can also be used as part of a propagation mix for rooting cuttings.

A good choice for media-based hydroponic growing. Coconut coir helps hold and distribute moisture while rice hulls add drainage and air space around the roots.

Good uses include grow bags, drip-fed containers, Dutch buckets and other container-style hydroponic systems.

Use the nutrient solution and feeding program appropriate for the crop you are growing.

Water thoroughly after planting and allow excess water to drain.

Check the mix regularly rather than watering on a fixed schedule. Coconut coir helps hold moisture, while the rice hulls help maintain air space around the roots.

Rice hulls naturally break down over time, so the texture of the mix will gradually change as plants grow.
