The present subject matter is directed to a growing medium and method of use. The growing medium comprises coconut coir. The coconut coir has a specific range of electrolytes, particularly sodium, potassium, and calcium. The values of these elements is confirmed in the coconut coir through qualitative and quantitative measurements, such as photoelectric flame photometry, spectroscopy, or inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy.
The present subject matter is directed to a method of making a coconut coir product comprising providing coconut coir husks; sieving fibers from the husks to yield desired size coir fiber; collecting the desired size coir fiber; mixing a treatment mixture; mixing the treatment mixture with the desired size coir fiber to form a combination; allowing the combination to react for an initial treatment time of at least 2 hours to produce a reaction; drawing a sample from the combination; testing the sample to determine one or more measured values by measuring for sodium value, potassium value, magnesium value, calcium value, or some combination thereof; and comparing the one or more measured values to one or more standards to determine if the reaction is complete.
The present subject matter is directed to a coconut coir product comprising coconut coir having some values for electrolytes of interest in a range as measured by photoelectric flame photometry, or flame emission spectroscopy, or inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
According to at least one embodiment, a growing medium and method of making said growing medium is shown and described. This medium may include at least a first and second component such that at least one of the first or second component is coconut coir and the other of the at least first or second component is a wood fiber. In one embodiment, the at least first and second component are combined and then compressed via heat and pressure resulting in a finished medium for an end user.
