COCO PEAT - Demand in Australia

Post by suthan »

Hi All

I am doing an study on demand of Coco peat(5kg blocks) in Australia.

Who usually buys it? is it farmers or is it used in home gardens?

I understood that it has to be mixed with potting mix for better water retention properties. Can Coco peat is useful on it's own.

Thanks in advance.

It's used by potting mix manufacturers in some potting mixes, and can also be used as an underlay for turf
Thanks
