" Coir has show to be the only suitable replenishment for peat based growing media so far , where other choice work well only with special percentages , " say Arjan van Leest ( Manager Solution Support ) and Kyle Freedman ( Segment Manager CEA ) from Jiffy . With peat - free becoming more and more of a red-hot topic , Jiffy ’s products cater to this demand . The company ’s growbags are peat - free and utilize 100 % organic coco coir substrate from their own output facilities in Sri Lanka . " Coir can be used as a 100 % growing media with excellent root development and growing resultant role . Coir even designate a better root development compare to peat due its water - line ratio . Peat can become hydrophobic if it dries down too much draw it very difficult to rehydrate . Coir on the other hand can dry out down quick ( which can benefit roots when they farm in search of water ) and rehydrate tight making it a more versatile growing medium , " they explain .
Sensitive cropsJiffy also offers a premium chain of mountains option for growbags , called Finesse . " With the Jiffy Finesse we provide a 100 % stabilized and chemically ( nutrient ground ) neutralized growing media , suit for sore craw like strawberry and pepper , " Arjan and Kyle say . " Because of a immediate beginning without any Ca deficiency consequence , raiser will feel a better yield . The faster the young plant develop , the lesser transplanting shock . less strain at the start leads to more powerful plant and as a result higher yields . Next to this , the quality specification followed by Jiffy guarantee a weed - costless , pathogen - loose and ethereal develop media from the start to the end . "
heart and soul vs FinesseBut what is the difference between the premium Finesse line and the more budget Essence products ? Arjan and Kyle explain that the same peeled materials are used for all products . " Both our received Jiffy Essence Growbags and our Jiffy Finesse Growbags are created with the same timber coir materials . " The difference is the extra treatment Jiffy Finesse has gone through . " The extra washing ( depleted EC ) and specific atomic number 20 treatment ( low K+ and Na+ content on the coir complex ) make the difference . The more sore the craw for atomic number 20 insufficiency at the starting ( like strawberry and pepper ) the better to use Jiffy Finesse . Jiffy Essence will finally conform to the Jiffy Finesse characteristics as well , but this takes metre . agriculturalist usually have no time for the extra preparations on site and prefer to dictate a fully inclined growbag alternatively . If time is a lesser offspring , agriculturist can pre - treat the Jiffy Essence on site . Jiffy Finesse is ready to be used and only needs to be expanded with ( manifest or appetiser - root ( not crucial , but well-advised ) ) water , " they explain .
in high spirits - technical school cultivationAccording to Arjan and Kyle , Jiffy Finesse Growbags are a great choice for high - technical school nursery growers . " They are great for a loyal start . The faster a young industrial plant roots into the growbag , the better the ( final ) results in terms of crop balance and take . With all conditions 100 % ascertain , you do not care to trust on an insecure growing media . Growbags are lightweight , easy to enchant and can come with preformed dripping emitter kettle of fish , let growers to set growbags in their benches and gutters , connect their drippers to flourish the base , and they are ready to go .
