Brunnings Coir Garden Soil 90L – Compressed Coir Block, Just Add Water

Compressed Coir Block That Expands to 90L of Soil

Brunnings Coir Garden Soil is a premium grade coir soil supplied as a compressed block. Just add water and it expands to around 90 litres of garden soil in about 20 minutes, so one compact, easy-to-carry block does the work of a big, heavy bag of soil. It's ideal for starting new garden beds and topping up existing ones, and you can plant straight into it.

What Is Coir?

Coir is made from coconut husk fibre, a renewable by-product of the coconut industry. It holds water well and keeps an open, airy structure that roots love, which is why it's popular as a soil and potting base. This block is a water saver, eco friendly and comes bacteria free, making it a clean, sustainable way to add growing media to the garden.

What It's For

Use it for new garden beds, for topping up existing beds, and it's well suited to organic vegetables, herbs and flower beds. Its water retention helps give the garden better drought tolerance, since coir holds moisture and releases it to the roots rather than drying out as quickly as some soils. You can plant directly into the expanded soil, or mix it through your existing garden soil to improve structure and moisture holding.

How to Use

It expands in four easy steps. Place the block in a wheelbarrow or large tub, add water, let it absorb and break apart over about 20 minutes, then fork it through to loosen it before spreading and planting. Add the block to the area you want to fill, expand it with water, then plant straight in or dig it through your existing soil.
