Coir & preparation
Washing or buffering?
A low EC result and a buffering treatment answer different questions. Confirm both on the product specification before deciding how to prepare your cocopeat.

Should I choose coco slabs or open-top bags?
Choose around the intended growing layout and root-zone arrangement.

Why the root zone matters
Coir slabs and individual open-top bags provide different container geometries and handling options.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Map plant positions, support layout and available bench space.
- Compare preparation, placement and end-of-cycle handling.
- Confirm working volume and dimensions rather than relying on a format name.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
Which arrangement fits your system?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Shared row containers
Evaluate slab dimensions and plant positions against the existing layout.
Individual movable plants
Evaluate open-top units for spacing and handling flexibility.
System still being designed
Trial both formats at realistic working dimensions before fixing the layout.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Prepare a drawing showing container dimensions, plant positions and access space.
Keep in mind
Do not choose by nominal volume alone when the physical layout differs.
