Sažetak
This is a major step forward in hydroponic's media technology. This is the first "organic" medium which offers top-performance in modern hydroponics applications. Coconut fiber offers many unique advantages - it maintains a larger oxygen capacity than the fines rockwool. Coconut fiber is also very high in naturally occurring rooting hormones. It offers superior water holding capacity to rockwool, a real advantage for intermittent irrigation systems. Coconut fiber it is completely natural and not environmentally aggressive as rockwool is.
