Choosing between cocopeat and traditional soil can be challenging. Each medium has unique benefits, and your choice depends on the plants and environment.
Cocopeat excels in water retention, aeration, and eco-friendliness. Its lightweight nature makes it ideal for urban gardens and indoor plants.
Soil is naturally abundant and rich in organic matter. It's perfect for outdoor gardens with large spaces.
While cocopeat is excellent for moisture retention, it lacks essential nutrients found in soil. Mixing it with compost solves this issue.
Heavy soil can lead to poor drainage and root rot. It's also prone to pests and weeds.
For container gardening and small spaces, cocopeat is ideal. For large outdoor gardens, traditional soil works well with added amendments.
