message: How does the acidity of Coir compare with peat?  I am interested in using it as worm bedding for vermicomposting.  I know peat is pretty acidic...  anyone know?
Less acidic than peat. Approximately neutral pH, without any need for lime or other bases.

message: This whole section, "Kerala Fibre", appears to be attempted advertising. A Google search for "Kerala Fibre" shows the same section text, including the two dots, occurs verbatim on several other sites, e.g. http://www.worldcybergamesireland.com/phpBB3/?q=coir+fibre+products, http://www.answers.com/topic/coir, http://yomi.mobi/egate/Coir/a, http://sthweb.bu.edu/index.php?option=com_awiki&view=mediawiki&article=Coir&Itemid=352, and many more. But "Kerala Fibre" does not appear to have their own website. Can anyone shed any light on this? It's been here since 18 September 2009, with plenty of other edits to the page since then, but no one has removed the section yet. Thoughts?  -- Bricaniwi (talk) 09:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi,
I never use the "TALK" facility and I hope I am not offending anyone.
The comments about "COIR" do not sound right to me and I am not quite sure that everything in this article is correct.
Coir is a man made product obtained from grinding the hard coconut shell, AFTER the external coconut fibre has been removed. 
The product is coarse grained, roughly the size of normal sugar, and contains NO fibre.  It is sold a Coir or Coco. 
Good quality Coir does not contain dust, and It is not what the authors call "Peat". Anyway, "Peat" is something else, a "Moss" related naturally occurring plant product.
 The authors fail to explain the original meaning of the word. Does the word "Coir" translate to "Fibre" or simply means a "Coconut product", or even just "Coconut". 
The coconut products are: Starting from the outside: 
                                         Coconut Husks (used in Agriculture: Sold as COCONUT HUSKS or COCONUT CHIPS)
                                         Coconut Fibre (has many uses, including agriculture: Sold as COCONUT FIBRE)
                                         Coconut Coir (or Coco), (coarse grained coconut shell, sieved for uniformity: Sold as COCONUT COIR or COCO)
                                         Coconut Flesh (we eat)
                                         Coconut Juice (we drink)
Because too many people use or even copy the wiki text, everything is getting a bit out of control. There are too many meanings, with every producer of agricultural products
using his/her own interpretation.
In many cases, dealers use both options: For example: Name: Coir Basket Round 250mm; Description: Coconut fibre basket round large
I use for over 8 years coir produced in Europe (Holland, Germany, UK), USA and Thailand. The coir I buy, is FIBRE FREE.
The use of (Fibre Free) COIR in orchid growing is increasing very rapidly. I hope somebody will investigate and correct this.
