OpenMix™
50/50 Coarse Coco Peat 5 kg Compressed Block
OpenMix™ is a professional coarse coco peat growing medium combining 50% cocopeat with 50% coco husk chips to create a highly open substrate structure designed for maximum aeration.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Coarse Coco Peat for Maximum Root-Zone Aeration
OpenMix™ is a professional coconut-based growing medium combining 50% cocopeat with 50% coco husk chips. This high proportion of husk chips creates a coarse, open physical structure designed to maximise root-zone aeration while retaining cocopeat as part of the growing medium.
Compared with finer cocopeat formulations, OpenMix™ provides a much more open substrate structure, making it suitable for professional growing systems where aeration and unrestricted water movement are important considerations.
Supplied as an approximately 5 kg compressed block, OpenMix™ provides a space-efficient format for commercial storage, transport and preparation before use.
As part of the Nordic Coir 5 kg compressed block range, washed and unwashed processing options, low-EC grades and custom particle-grade options can be discussed according to buyer requirements and production feasibility.
Key Benefits
GROWING CHARACTER
An Open Structure for High Aeration
High Husk-Chip Content
The 50% coco husk chip component provides a substantially more open physical structure than finer cocopeat formulations.
Maximum Aeration
OpenMix™ is positioned as the highest-aeration formulation within the Nordic Coir 5 kg compressed block range.
Open Water Movement
The coarse structure creates larger pore spaces within the substrate, supporting more open water movement through the growing medium.
APPLICATIONS
High-Aeration Coco Peat for Professional Growing Systems
OpenMix™ is designed for professional growing-media applications where an open substrate structure and high root-zone aeration are important requirements.
The 50:50 cocopeat and coco husk chip composition gives OpenMix™ a significantly more open structure than the finer formulations in the Nordic Coir 5 kg compressed block series, making it the highest-aeration formulation in the range.
