<br />
<br />
<a data-mce-href="http://coirgreen.com/coir.html" href="https://coirgreen.com/what-is-coir/">Coir</a>, extracted from the husk of the coconut, is the fibrous material found between the internal coconut shell and the outer layer. The extracting and processing of coir is performed in accordance with a series of activities, resulting in coir that is used for the manufacturing of various environmentally friendly products; these are then used to help prevent <a data-mce-href="http://coirgreen.com/erosion_control.html" href="https://coirgreen.com/products-and-usage/erosion-control/">soil erosion</a> and in many<a data-mce-href="http://coirgreen.com/Horticultural_Products.html" href="https://coirgreen.com/products-and-usage/horticultural-products/"> horticultural procedures</a>. The complete process that <a data-mce-href="http://coirgreen.com/" href="https://coirgreen.com/">CoirGreen™</a> follows in creating coir is entirely environmentally friendly and has no negative impact on nature.<br />
<br />
Fully mature green coconuts are either plucked from the tree after twelve months or picked once ripened and fallen from the tree to extract coir while unripe coconuts are spread on the ground to be dried.<br />
There are two types of coir:<br />
<ul>
<li>Brown fibre</li>
<li>White fibre</li>
</ul>
Brown fibre, which <a data-mce-href="http://coirgreen.com/" href="https://coirgreen.com/">CoirGreen™</a> mainly uses, is obtained from mature coconuts that are ready to be processed into copra and desiccated coconuts. The outer fibrous layer of the coconut is manually separated from the hard shell using a steel-tipped spike or a machine.<br />

<br />
The extracted husks are then placed along river-banks, concrete tanks or suspended by nets and soaked in a slow-moving body of water so that the fibres swell and soften. Earlier, this action was carried out for 6 to 10 months; however, recently introduced mechanical techniques allow this process to be completed within 7 to 10 days.<br />
<br />
The fibre pulp is then beaten with wooden mallets in order to separate the coir fibres from the pith and outer skin of the coconut. Traditionally, this process was carried out manually, but in recent years, motorized machines are used to increase efficiency. The resultant fibres are washed and subsequently spread loose on the ground to dry.<br />
<br />
Next, the fibres are combined with mechanical or manual carding tools and then spun to form fine yarn, which is later twisted to make long and strong coir strings. Finally, these coir strings are wound into bundles. This is carried out using hand spinning tools or automated spinning machines.<br />
Fibres that will not be immediately processed are collected and tied into loose bundles for storage and shipment.<br />

Many of us depend heavily on the environment to make a living. Yet,
knowingly or unknowingly to us, our actions can have negative impact on
the environment, such as leading to soil erosion and loss of vegetation.
Therefore, it is vital that we take all necessary steps to protect and
preserve the environment, while continuing our work.<br />
Natural, <a data-mce-href="http://www.coirgreen.com" href="https://coirgreen.com/">bio-degradable</a> and sustainable, products made of natural coir-fibre help you do just that!<br />
<br />
<a data-mce-href="http://www.coirgreen.com" href="https://coirgreen.com/what-is-coir/">Why coir?</a><br />
<br />
A
natural fibre extracted from the husk of a coconut, the uses of coir
are varied. There are two main types of coir: The more commonly used is
brown fibre, which is extracted from mature coconuts.<a data-mce-href="http://www.coirgreen.com/coir.html" href="https://coirgreen.com/what-is-coir/"> Brown fibre</a> is used to manufacture products such as coir brushes, coir doormats,<a data-mce-href="http://www.coirgreen.com/ErosionControl/coirLogs.html" href="https://coirgreen.com/products-and-usage/erosion-control/coirlogs/"> coir logs</a>, <a data-mce-href="http://www.coirgreen.com/ErosionControl/CoirPallets.html" href="https://coirgreen.com/products-and-usage/erosion-control/coirpallets/">coir pallets </a>and
coir rugs. White fibre is obtained from immature green coconuts, and
when spun into yarn is used to make products such as coir rope, coir <a data-mce-href="http://www.coirgreen.com/ErosionControl/GeoTextile.html" href="https://coirgreen.com/products-and-usage/erosion-control/geotextile/">geotextiles</a>. Given its resistance to salt water, white fibre is also used to manufacture fishing nets.<br />
<br />
Coir
products offers a range of environmental benefits. A renewable resource
with a low decomposition rate and having high strength compared to
other natural fibers, it is also widely used to address the challenges
of erosion and promote sustainable vegetation. A range of value-added
products have been manufactured using natural coir fibre for the erosion
control, horticultural and agricultural sectors.
Environmentally-friendly and sustainable, products made of natural coir
fibre are durable, absorbs water, retains moisture and provides good
soil support. They are also 100% biodegradable, having high strength
retention and a low rate of degradation.<br />

<br />
The global gardening culture is changing. In the days gone by, people had to till the soil, get dirty and possibly sweat after a gardening workout. However, now, gardening has become easier and we have a variety of tools that do the work for us. One such tool is the <a href="http://www.coirgreen.com/">CoirGreen™</a> <a href="http://www.coirgreen.com/Horticulural/cgGrowBags.html">Growbag</a>, a 100% biodegradable product. <br />
<br />
A combination of the benefits of coir and grow bags<br />
<br />
Combining the benefits of both growbags and coir, CoirGreen™ <a href="http://www.coirgreen.com/">Growbag</a>s provide more growing space and planting options. They are also easy to use and are less messy. They provide high yield from a small space and thus are ideal for patio gardening; the bags are also extremely versatile.<br />
<br />
Coir has become popular as a potting medium in greenhouse and nursery production. Qualities of coir that make it a good growing medium include high water holding capacity, excellent drainage capacity, physical resilience, and the fact that it is a renewable resource.<br />
<br />
It has also been demonstrated that coir can suppress certain soil borne plant pathogens. Combining the disease suppressive properties of coir with other management strategies such as fungicide application in an integrated pest management program may result in more effective and less costly management of soil borne diseases in greenhouse and nursery production.<br />
<br />
Benefits of CoirGreen™ grow bags<br />
<br />
• High quality consistent product.<br />
• Stability of structure during culture. <br />
• Steers your crops for maximum yield and fruit quality. <br />
• Equally good for vegetables, flowers and fruits. <br />
• Minimizes the risk of disease with stronger plants. <br />
• Purpose made slabs with pre cut plants/ drain holes reduces labor costs in installation. <br />
• Ideal air water ratio. <br />
• Optimizes the use of water and fertilizer. <br />
• Faster and dense root establishment due to porous structure. <br />
• Fully organic environmentally friendly substrate with no disposal problems. <br />
• User friendly product. <br />
• Convenient and cost effective transportation and storage of compressed slabs. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.coirgreen.com/">CoirGreen™</a> Growbag can be used to grow tomatoes, paprika, cucumber, aubergine, gerberas, roses, ornamental plants and other vegetables and fruits.<br />
<br />
How to use the CoirGreen™ <a href="http://www.coirgreen.com/Horticulural/cgGrowBags.html">growbag</a><br />

<span style="mso-bookmark: _GoBack;"><span lang="EN-US">The use of natural fibers for
erosion and sedimentation control dates back to the beginning of this century.
The main problems in the early natural fiber textiles (example jute mats) were
low tensile strength, high elongation and low durability. These drawbacks
restricted their use to only less severe erosion problems. An alternate natural
fiber that has drawn the attention of the erosion and sedimentation control
industry is coir, the coconut fiber.</span></span></div>

adequate room to grow and decomposes naturally into humus which will enrich and
nourish the soil. Lasting between two to five years the coir fiber, compared to
other natural fibers such as jute, has several unique features. CoirGreen
geotextiles have the ability to retain water three times more than its actual
weight preventing the need to frequently water the plants. However, at the same
time with its adequate space within the mesh it drains the excess water easily
preventing water logging. With an easy installation method the CoirGreen
geotextiles need no chemical treatment as it lets in the right amount of air
and light for a deeper rooted plant. It can also endure animal and human
movements that would generally lead to more environmental decay.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: _GoBack;"><span lang="EN-US">“Recognition of coir for
sustainable vegetation and erosion control arises from the fact that it is an
abundant, renewable natural resource with an extremely low decomposition rate
and high strength compared to other natural fibers. Coir is woven into thick
textiles which are applied like blankets on the ground in erosion prone areas.
Geotextiles made from coir are durable, absorb water, resist sunlight,
facilitate seed germination, and are 100% biodegradable. These blankets have
high strength retention and a slow rate of degradation meaning they last for
several years in field applications”.</span></span></div>

coir retained 20% of its strength a year later<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>and 90% humidity whereas jute biodegraded fully after eight weeks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In another study, conducted in Kerala, India,
with a farmer community in 2005, scientists found out that coir combined with

<span style="mso-bookmark: _GoBack;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; mso-highlight: white;">CoirGreen geotextiles have varying densities depending on
their application, but as a whole they serve as slope stabilization agents
prior to re-vegetation. CoirGreen geotextiles promote new vegetation by
absorbing water and preventing topsoil from drying out. They absorb solar
radiation just like natural soil, and unlike geosynthetic materials, they
provide good soil support for up to three years, allowing natural vegetation to
become established. The greater the geotextile density, the steeper the
embankments it can be utilized on. Applications have included ski slopes and
bottom reinforcing material in water courses. </span></span></div>

From cell phones and computers to water bottles and bags, plastic has
moulded society in many ways that make life both easier and safer.
However, this ease of living has come at a huge environmental cost.<br />
<br />
Since mass production of plastic began in the 1940’s it has grown to
become an essential item in the society. More than 280 million tons of
plastic were manufactured in 2012. In fact, according to a report by the
British Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society the amount of
plastic manufactured in the first 10 years of the 21st century is equal
to the entire amount produced in the 20th century.<br />
<br />
Plastic is an environmental nightmare. The chemical building blocks
that make plastics so versatile are the same components that harm people
and the environment. For example:<br />
<br />
• Chemicals added to plastics are absorbed by human bodies. Some of
these compounds have been found to alter hormones or have other negative
human health effects.<br />
• Plastic debris, laced with chemicals are often ingested by marine animals and can injure or poison wildlife.<br />
• Floating plastic waste, which can survive for thousands of years in
water, serves as mini transportation devices for invasive species,
disrupting habitats.<br />
• Plastic buried deep in landfills can leach harmful chemicals that spread into groundwater.<br />
• Around 4 percent of the world’s oil production is used as a feedstock
to make plastics, and a similar amount is consumed as energy in the
process<br />
<br />
Plastic is widely used in agriculture and the plastic pot has become a
common sight in flower gardens, greenhouses and nurseries. At
CoirGreen, we have always been driven to create products that are
environmentally sustainable and this mindset led us to create the coir
pot as an environmentally friendly alternative to the plastic pot.<br />
<br />
CoirGreen <a href="https://coirgreen.com/products-and-usage/horticultural-products/cgpots/">coir pots</a> (CG pots) are 100% biodegradable and transform into
organic matter on decomposing. They are made for use in horticultural
farms, flower gardens, greenhouses, and nurseries. The coir pot provides
nutrients like zinc, magnesium, copper and iron, all beneficial to
healthy plant growth, and its high resistance to mold is great for
greenhouses. Commercial growers can use the pots to grow plants-
skipping the transplanting step which often leads to ‘transplant shock’.<br />
<br />
Plants growing in traditional plastic pots tend to develop tightly
massed root systems that do not take full advantage of the allocated
growing area. If grown in coir pots, plants grow throughout the whole
pot, and grow into the pot wall. Once the roots reach the outer edge of
the wall, they stop growing out and continue to grow inside the pot;
contact with the air stops the roots from growing, root buds start to
appear and secondary roots start to develop throughout the pot. This
phenomenon is known as “aerial root pruning”.<br />
<br />
If roots are not exposed to air (aerial root pruning) they continue
to grow around the container in a constricted pattern. The roots may
spiral, twist, kink or become strangled. When the plant is later
installed it will likely fail to establish a normal root structure, and
instead will have reduced uptake of water and nutrients. Eventually
abnormal growth should be obvious and could cause the plant to fail.
Damaged root systems also cause leaves to turn yellow or brown, shrivel
or drop. Healthy, highly branched root structures allow a plant to more
efficiently uptake water and nutrients while increasing growth and
overall plant health. A strong root system will make a plant better
able to establish itself when installed in a restoration project.<br />
<br />
Benefits of using CG Organic Coir Pots<br />
● Pots remain stable above ground for a year and biodegrade in the soil after 2 – 3 months<br />
● Pots add texture to the soil as they degrade<br />
● Can also be added to the compost heap as a valuable source of carbon (brown material)<br />
● Plants grown in these pots benefit from air pruning<br />
● Plant roots will grow through the pot walls, encouraging a strong root system.<br />
● There is no transplanting shock<br />
● Ideal for cucurbits and courgettes in particular<br />
● Absorbs water better<br />
● Moderates moisture and increase microbial activity<br />
● Has high tensile strength and lignin content<br />
● Is environmentally sustainable<br />

fiber usage has become very common among professionals in various industries
due to the versatility of the product. In the horticultural, agricultural, or
erosion control sector, coir has a remarkable reputation for its superiority to
other available natural materials in the market. <br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Coir
fiber is found between the husk & the outer shell of a coconut husk. The
individual fiber cells are narrow and hollow, with thick walls made of
cellulose. They are pale when immature but later become hardened and yellowed
as a layer of lignin is deposited on their walls. The high lignin content (46%
by weight) of coco fibers makes it naturally resistant to mold and rot and
requires no chemical treatment. Lignin is a complex chemical compound and is an
integral part of the secondary cell walls of plants and some algae. It is known
to be on e of the most abundant organic polymers on Earth. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;"><a href="https://coirgreen.com/products-and-usage/horticultural-products/cgpeat/">Cocopeat</a> is a natural, renewable product produced from coconut husks. Coco peat add
value to potting mixes by adding 10‐50% good quality Cocopeat to their potting
mixtures. The plants grown in Cocopeat require less frequent watering as a
result of more water holding capacity of the Cocopeat. More number of finer
roots in a shorter time can be seen in potting soil containing Cocopeat. The roots
get more aeration resulting in healthier plants.</span></div>

an amazing product produced from the finest of coconut husks is the fundamental
product of grow bags as it is made out of coco peat (coir pith) or husks chips
(coco chips) or a combination of both. Coir pith is thick, fibrous and is the
sponge like particle in the middle layer of the coconut. It can be used for any
kind of cultivation such as agriculture, hydroponic, organic, indoor planting,
home gardening, botanical and even soil treatment. Coir is a product that is
completely sustainable and renewable as coconuts are grown in abundance in
tropical regions. Its widely used to cultivate bigger crops, better expansion
and stronger roots, snail repellant, reduction in disease and fungus netting, to
hold more air, better water retention, helps reduce frequent irrigation and is
completely recyclable as it is 100% organic. </span></div>

popularity among the hydroponic farmers for growing of fresh vegetables and
flowers coir pith is used instead of rock wool and peat moss. Interested in
growing various tomatoes? Then this is the ideal method because the plants do
not have deep roots and needs more space for the tomato vines to grow. It is
also highly efficient when growing other green house hydroponics such as
cucumber, capsicum, lettuce, strawberry, rose, gerbera, orchids and also chrysanthemums.</span></div>

bags or coco slabs are developed with a particular mixture to provide the
maximum results and suit every individual crop. The coir is commonly enclosed
in a plastic bag that can be recycled with drain slits and plant holes that are
pre-cut and stick holes to meet the individual hydration system. They are
completely easy to use, cost effective, as it reduces on labor, is highly
successful in a controlled growing environments, easy to transport and even
store. So why not take on an environmentally friendly approach to growing
plants that will increase yields and save money. This is only the beginning to
a revolutionary growing experience. </span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><a href="https://coirgreen.com/what-is-coir/">Coir or coconut fiber</a> which would
would make more sense when referred to is as important a product as
any other basic commodity or service that one may come across and require in
large volumes on a daily basis. Coir fibers are found nestled between the hard,
internal shell and the outer layer of the coconut. They may appear quite
useless at first sight but later becomes harder and mature enough as a product
that could withstand a considerable amount of pressure when best put to use. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Hence we may now arrive at and discuss a
global issue that affects the lives of communities regardless of their social
status and background. Soil erosion or the wastage of land etc has quite
literally played havoc time and time again, creating unrest among the global
community. This is where the usage of coir as a natural material plays a
significant and at times somewhat of a leading part in negating soil erosion to
a greater extent. Like in the erosion control industry, coir also proves a
worthy opponent in terms of versatility and durability in the agricultural and
horticultural sectors adding weight and support in uplifting and improving the
standards of these sectors respectively.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">However grave situations may turn out to
be, soil erosion indeed can be prevented largely due to the products such as
Geotextiles and Biologs (Coir logs) being produced on
a regular basis to safeguard the surrounding natural environment. Thus enabling
the preservation process to take root in what already seems a bleak natural
environment that is forever under serious threat of being wiped out completely
due to the negligence and certain actions of power-hungry corporate entities
the world over. Nevertheless coir proves an ideal combatant to soil erosion as
it acts as a natural barrier against the forces of nature itself. That being
wind and water that undoubtedly plays the role of culprit and is a major factor
in soil erosion. Additionally soil erosion on riverbanks and hillsides are
prevented to a greater extent when brown coir fiber are designed and
manufactured in a way that they form a sort of blanket that envelopes the areas
when placed accordingly. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Moreover the usage of coir is not limited
to a said and given sector. It also paves the way for plants, weeds to be grown
in an environmentally friendly environment but above all in a manner that
safeguards and nurtures and aids in the growth process of plants of all shapes
and sizes. The usage of coir prevents unwanted water from remaining in the area
and ushers in a water flow that is best suited to plant growth. The coir around
the plant holds sufficient levels of water that the plant could make use of
when needed. Thus we could draw up a conclusion that the growth system of
plants is better influenced when a natural product like coir is used. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">With a
reputation for being a far more superior natural ingredient than any other,
Coir Fiber is a useful commercial product among professionals in various
industries. Widely known for its ability to reduce soil erosion and assist the
horticulture and agriculture sectors due to its hard structural fibers. Coir
can be found between the husk and the outer shell of a coconut. When immature
they are pale but subsequently it becomes harder and yellow as a layer of
lining begins to form on their walls. There are two varieties of coir; Brown
coir is harvested from fully ripened coconuts that contain more lignin and less
cellulose. This makes the coir stronger but less flexible. While the white coir
fibers are harvested from the coconuts before they are ripe. These fibers are
much smoother and finer but are also weaker.

<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Nurseries,
Greenhouses, Farms and even households are seen using Coir products as a
growing medium. It increases the capacity to hold water which remains available
at low tensions and it maintains air porosity even after saturated with pore
space allowing the water to drain easily. For horticultural purposes CoirGreen<sup>(TM)</sup>
produces Coco Peat, Growbags and Husk Chips where it can be added into potting
mixtures adding value to the soil. With this, the growth of finer roots within
a short period of time can be seen in the plants. Coir disks on the other hand
are used for natural weed control and used mainly in large scale nurseries and
green houses. Grow Bags and Coir Pots is specifically used for growing vegetable
and flower plants and can be used even in your own home. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">CoirGreen<sup>(TM)</sup>
also manufactures products for erosion control. Erosion is inevitable in our
environment. Usually occurring because of wind, water or ice; by down slope
creep of soil and other materials under the force of gravity or by animals and
humans. 40% of the world’s agricultural land is degraded. Fertile soil is lost
in large amounts due to drought, deforestation and climate change. According to
studies increased rainfall amounts and intensities will lead to higher rates of
erosion. Generally, soil erosion is being controlled with a physical barrier
such as vegetation or rock to prevent water or wind creating a soil loss.
However now you can use CoirGreen’s products designed and manufactured
specifically for the purpose of soil erosion. Erosion Control Blankets (coconut
blankets), GeoTextiles (Coir netting), Coirlogs (waterlogs/Biologs), Coir Pallets
(coir pillows) and Jute products are all produced by CoirGreen to help prevent
the erosion of soil. Erosion Control Blankets which are made out of coir are
known to have a high performance as it does not rot, needs no chemical
treatment and is hard and strong which provides adequate strength to prevent
slope from erosion, provides landslide stabilisation and river bank protection.
It can be easily transported and expected to become part of the soils structure
as it’s steadily set in place. Ideal for landscaping, vegetation control and
sediment control. Coir logs or also known as Biologs or Waterlogs are a
cylinder round shaped netting packed with coir fiber (also come in square shape
logs). It is used mainly for stream bank stabilization, shoreline protection,
wetland mitigation, channel edge liner, wild life habitats and landscaping.
This too is easy to install, allows for deep rooting of plants while providing
nutrients and can be customised to your specific requirements. Another
cost-effective method is the use of Coir Pallet or Coir Pillows especially for
establishing marginal vegetation around lakes edges and watercourse banks. The
high lining in the product is able to tolerate high energy of water flows and
has a long degradation period of 3-5 years. </span></div>
