Is Coir waste a good organic manure material?

[savera farms]

There is a coir pith factory near my farm and they are offerering "free" coir waste. Is it worth getting it?

See the real advantages of coir pith in the URL Products of Global International: India Coirpith,cocopeat,coirpith blocks,india gardens,nurseries,natural growing medium for plants and crops,hydroponics,soil,vegetables,plants,flowers,peat,greenhouse

If they give it free, you should just grab it.

True.
But i wanted to confirm if waste is indeed waste or it has some organic/nutritional value left in it..

TNAU has a method of using this coir for coir pith composting

ORGANIC FARMING :: Special technologies :: Coir compost

Hi tasmannet,

Good Suggestion!!!

I have been using the TNAU site myself for all my clarifications but missed this one.

What are the other sites which is of relevance? Please post.

It is absolutely worth getting it- even if it is the by product of coir brick/cocopeat. It may not have nutrient in it, but if mixed with organic manure- it forms an excellent potting mixture that retains water and is very light.

NOW can I have some? Please provide info of this place such as address?
