Why coir for strawberries

The right root zone for strawberries

Substrate-grown strawberries reward a light, free-draining, low-EC root zone. Open-top coco bags and buffered coir give consistent runners, healthy crowns and easy crop management on tabletops and gutters.

  • Free-draining, airy structure
  • Low, stable EC for clean nutrition
  • Even moisture for uniform fruiting
  • Open surface for easy management

Open-top bags or grow bags for strawberries?

Open-top bags give an open planting surface for higher densities and easy runner and fruit management — a favourite for soft fruit.

Should strawberry coir be buffered?
