Yes, you can grow plants in vermicompost and coco coir (cocopit). Both are commonly used as growing mediums for plants and can be used as a soil substitute for container gardening.
Vermicompost is a type of compost that is produced by worms and is rich in nutrients and organic matter. It can be used as a growing medium for plants, providing them with the necessary nutrients and structure to grow.
Coco coir is a type of substrate made from the fibers of coconut shells. It is often used as a soil substitute due to its water-holding capacity, good aeration, and ability to provide support to plant roots.
When using vermicompost or coco coir as a growing medium, it is important to make sure that it is well-draining, as plants can suffer from root rot if the soil stays too wet for too long. Additionally, you may need to amend the soil with additional nutrients, such as fertilizer, to ensure that your plants receive all the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.
