The Future of Growing Media is Hemp

US Hemp Coir is a premium blend of hemp fiber and hurd — a renewable, American-grown alternative to peat moss.

  • Superior Water Retention

    Hemp hurd's cellular structure holds moisture efficiently, reducing irrigation frequency and water costs — just like the peat it replaces, but without the environmental guilt.

  • Excellent Aeration

    The fiber component opens air pockets throughout the substrate, ensuring roots receive adequate oxygen. No compaction. No suffocation. Healthier root zones every time.

  • Ideal pH for Most Plants

    With a natural pH around 5.0–6.0, our blend is well-suited for acid-loving plants and easily buffered for a wider range of crops. No chemical amendments required straight out of the bag.

  • Competitive Economics

    As peat costs rise due to supply constraints and incoming regulation, hemp coir provides a cost-stable alternative available in bulk for large-scale operations or in convenient bags for smaller growers.

A Smarter Substrate, Born from Hemp

US Hemp Coir is a uniquely blended growing substrate made from two complementary components of the American hemp plant: hemp fiber — the soft, filamentous outer strands of the stem — and hemp hurd, the dense woody core found inside. Together, they create a growing medium with exceptional structural and hydrological properties.

Hurd makes up roughly 70% of the hemp stem and has historically been discarded as a byproduct of textile manufacturing. We've found a way to turn that waste into something extraordinary. With a particle size of approximately 2mm, hemp hurd closely mimics the texture and feel of sphagnum peat moss — the industry-standard soil amendment that growers have relied on for decades.

The result: a 100% renewable, domestically-sourced substrate that performs like peat, without any of peat's devastating environmental costs.

The Science Is In —Hemp Coir Works.

Researchers at the University of Connecticut's Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture conducted extensive trials on hemp hurd as a substitute for sphagnum peat moss in container growing media.

Funded by a USDA grant, their trials found that hemp hurd can replace up to 66% of peat moss in a growing mix.
