Coco Chip Coir Mulch (Compressed)
Coco&Coir Compressed Coir Mulch. Our hugely popular mulch made from 100% natural and organic peat free coir husk chips in a convenient and easy to handle and deliver compressed format. Coir mulch helps retain soil moisture and reduces weed growth by up to 90%. it also helps deter pesky slugs and snails because of its texture. Once expanded this is ideal to add to beds and borders for a range of plant positive benefits, as well as decorative purposes. As it slowly breaks down in the soil, it also increases soil porosity, enriches it, and improves soil structure.
