It encourages increased grass root activity which will improve the lawns ability to withstand hard wear and drought conditions.

Coco Grow Coir Compost
Pure coir compost. Nutrient free, Ph balanced and suitable for a range of purposes. Nutrient free coir compost Coco Grow is made of 100% natural, organic and vegan friendly coir pith-based substrate. Coir compost increases the porosity of any potting mix, which helps to keep the soil loose and airy, helping in better root growth. This means it is ideal to add to any soil mix and for seeding alike. The fine texture results in better plant growth and higher yield. Being ph balanced with no nutrients added, Coco Grow is ideal for creating compost blends and mixes to suit any situation or plant variety.
