Compressed mixtures of blends of coconut coir pith and selected horticulturally acceptable non-coir/non-peat materials such as composted yard waste, composted bark, composted manure, sand, peat humus, composted agricultural waste, composted animal by-products, treated sewage sludge, animal and/or vegetable-based landfill waste, wood and lignocellulose derivatives, vermiculite, perlite, glass beads, foamed plastics, and mixtures thereof are prepared in a manner such that, upon decompression, a total volume of decompressed coir pith and decompressed non-coir/non-peat material is produced which exceeds the sum of the initial volumes of coconut coir pith and non-coir/non-peat material in the blends. |
