This means that much of the water you apply won't run out the bottom of the pot, but is held within the root zone. Coir is unlike other forms of organic matter that pack down when wet, and with the addition of pumice to further aerate the soil, you're assured it is always well drained. The ability to balance drainage with water holding capacity is the greatest challenge, so that roots find the moisture and oxygen they need every day. The integration of generous amounts of earthworm castings makes this soil naturally fertile. Castings boost microorganism populations vital to plant health. When soil and organic matter passes through an earthworm's body it is changed into phosphate, potash, nitrogen, magnesium and calcium. These macro and other micro-nutrients arrive in a form immediately available to plants. The most important contribution of earthworm castings are the microbes they
