Best Plants for Coir Fibers
Question about plantings for coir fibers. I was inquiring about what type of plantings work best within the coir fibers themselves.
What type of plants or grasses work best within the coconut coir logs?
Answer:
Thank you for asking. In general, there are a wide range of planting and vegetation that you can use with a coconut coir log. While our coir logs do not come pre-seeded or planted with vegetation, they do provide enough space for seeding and planting after installation.
Choosing Planting and Vegetation
One of the main reasons are coir logs do not come with vegetation is due to the fact that vegetation that can be used is often based specifically on native plants in your area. Installing native plants works significantly better as these materials area already proven to be able to grow and stay maintained in your area.
Establishing vegetation, in addition to coir logs, can help to further stabilize the area and prevent erosion. The use of native plants offers the following advantages:
- Natural to your Area
- Proven to Thrive and Survive
- Blends into Surroundings and the Environment
- Quickly Takes Root
- Establishes Growth Fast
- Recognizable to Surrounding Wildlife
Plantings for Coir Fibers
Regardless of the type of coir fabric you use, most coir materials will feature some type of an open weave design. On coir logs and wattles this will be present in the outer netting of the product. On coir mats, this will be located in the mat itself.
Due to this open weave design, seeding or even plants can be installed directly through the material. This keeps the area stabilized, while still allowing you to choose and plant materials native to your area.
