Hmmm when you say coir that cojures up in my mind fibrous stuff, where
you can see the strands - it is available here to be used as lining
for hanging baskets. The alternative peat I saw looked a lot like
peat, in fact I believed it was peat until I read the fine print
(thought the texture was not _quite_ right). Are we talking the same
stuff here?
