Coco fiber(Coir) will boost the moisture capacity of soil. The husk of the coconut is a natural sponge-like material that is easy to handle and long lasting. Coco fiber is an environmentally friendly alternative to peat moss. Coco fiber loosens clay soils and encourages strong root development. It has a soft fibrous texture that takes 5 years to break down, and it does not form a crust when it dries out. Coir can also help prevent runoff and erosion. As Coir soaks up water, it prevents nutrients from washing away. Soil that's saturated with water will even resist cracking, so coir can even prevent foundation damage.
Coco Fiber is an excellent way to increase the water absorbing power of potting soil, while also protecting against harmful bacteria and promoting organic farming. These coco fiber soil amendments are widely used for hydroponics, soil mixes, and container planting.
Coco fiber is also an excellent additive for your composter. It's water absorbing properties will keep your compost moist while at the same time soak up any excessive water. 100% Organic!
Each wafer of Coco Fiber weighs 3.7 ounces and makes 2 quarts of potting soil. (via http://www.greennationgardens.com)
