Coco Peat - The Cleanest Medium For Sowing Seeds And Growing Vegetables

1. Reason: Coco peat is a clean substrate for sowing seeds and growing vegetables

 

In the market of vegetable soil and growing medium, we often hear about keywords such as "Clean soil", "Organic clean soil", "Clean soil for growing vegetables". However, they are not always guaranteed to be clean. Some places have been exposed for using methods that do not guarantee cleanliness to produce "clean soil". Coco peat is different in that it is a completely clean and safe source of substrate.

Coco peat is made from fibers and pieces of coconut shell, a natural source that does not require spraying. The production process of coco peat does not use toxic chemicals, ensuring compatibility with the environment and safety for human health.

2. Benefits of Coco Peat for the environment

In the Western region of Vietnam and many other provinces, people grow coconut trees on thousands of hectares. Using coconut peat is a way to protect the environment by reducing waste from coconut shells. Therefore, using coco peat for growing vegetables also means contributing to environmental protection.
