Is Raw Coir Pith waste a good source of manure compost?

[savera farms]

I am planning to put about 10 Kgs of coir waste in my mango pits. Due to time constraints, I do not plan to decompose it.

Although it is raw, I am thinking of putting it at 3 ft level (not at top level), so that by the time the roots reach 3 ft, coir compost would have decomposed..

Is this thought of mine correct or will it cause problems to the roots?

hi

It is always beneficial to decompose and then put it. But since you want to try , you can do so for a few pits. AS during decomposition there is a lot of heat evolved and this might damage the crop
