In our process of manufacturing, we do not use chemical washes and steaming that destroy naturally occurring benefits in coco coir. Our final products are super washed with clean fresh water to bring very low level of salts and EC. Once coco coir meets our strict standards and analytical requirements, it is dried, compressed and packaged. We make sure to offer the highest quality coconut coir growing medium substrates in the market.
