coco in seedling substrate

<< < (2/2)

Vinny 123:
Your taste is very sensitive to salt - break a small chunk off and taste or soak and taste the water - it only needs to just touch the tongue, then spit it out and rinse if you are at all concerned.

Certainly going back to the early days of coir for composts - that must be 30 years at least - there were warnings about salt content of products sold for anything but horticulture. I am unsure about how the fibre and the granules used for composts etc. are separated (coir fibre still has lots of commercial uses), but quite possibly the coconut husks were soaked in sea water as fresh water in areas that are producing coir is a premium product.
