Coir bedding is a fantastic alternative to peat moss. The peat bogs are being depleted quickly and this is resulting in an altered ecosystem where peat bogs are being farmed. Coir is a great alternative because it is renewable. Coir bedding is actually a product that comes from coconut shells. The result is a great product that does what peat moss does buy at a lower cost both in money and in impact on the environment.
Mix Coir with slightly aged manure as you would with peat and your worms will respond with glee. Composting with Coir as worm bedding will also leave you with excellent worm castings.
