Coir & preparation
Washing or buffering?
A low EC result and a buffering treatment answer different questions. Confirm both on the product specification before deciding how to prepare your cocopeat.

How does moisture basis affect cocopeat price comparisons?
Ask what the quoted weight represents before comparing a price per kilogram.

Why the root zone matters
Two coir samples with different moisture contents may contain different amounts of dry material at the same total weight.
01 / OBSERVE
Three checks before you change anything
- Confirm whether the specification uses wet-basis or dry-basis moisture reporting.
- Ask how moisture is measured and how it relates to the commercial quantity.
- Compare usable preparation yield alongside weight, keeping methods consistent.
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
Which basis is missing?
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Moisture method
Request the measurement procedure and reporting basis from the supplier or lab.
Price quantity basis
Clarify whether the price applies to as-supplied material or another agreed basis.
Expansion evidence
Run representative preparation checks before converting price into usable-volume cost.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Leave with something useful
Keep weight, moisture and volume information together in the comparison.
Keep in mind
Do not use an undocumented moisture conversion to accuse a supplier of a short shipment.
