Know before you buy
The compressed brick expands to provide 3 cubic feet of usable soil amendment once fully hydrated. We recommend using a large container or wheelbarrow to accommodate the significant increase in volume.
Yes, it serves as a sustainable, eco-friendly alternative to peat moss. It offers similar moisture retention and aeration properties while being harvested from renewable coconut coir.
No, BeatsPeat is naturally pH-neutral. It will not significantly alter the acidity or alkalinity of your soil, making it a safe choice for a wide variety of plants.
In heavy clay, it improves aeration and prevents compaction, allowing roots to breathe. In sandy soils, it acts as a sponge to hold onto moisture and nutrients that would otherwise drain away too quickly.
While BeatsPeat has a high nutrient retention capacity, it is not a fertilizer itself. You should continue to use your preferred organic compost or plant food to ensure your plants receive the necessary nutrients for growth.
