Compressed mixtures of blends of coconut coir pith and selected horticulturally acceptable non-coir/non-peat materials such as composted yard waste; composted bark; composted manure; sand; peat humus; composted agricultural waste; composted animal byproducts; treated sewage sludge; animal and/or vegetable-based landfill waste; wood and lignocellulose derivatives; vermiculite; perlite, glass beads; foamed plastics, and mixtures thereof are prepared in a manner such that, upon decompression, a total volume of decompressed coir pith and decompressed non-coir/non-peat material is produced which exceeds the sum of the initial volumes of coconut coir pith and non-coir/non-peat material in the blends.

1. A composition comprising a compressed blend of coconut coir pith and a non-coir/non-peat material, the compressed blend is formed from an admixture consisting essentially of an initial non-compressed volume of coconut coir pith and an initial non-compressed volume of a horticulturally acceptable non-coir/non-peat material, the moisture content of the coconut coir pith in the admixture is less than about 25 weight percent and the moisture content of the non-coir/non-peat material in the admixture is sufficient to enable. the admixture to be compressed to form the compressed blend in a manner such that, upon decompression of the compressed blend, a total volume of decompressed coir pith and decompressed non-coir/non-peat material is produced which exceeds the sum of the initial non-compressed volumes of coconut coir pith and non-coir/non-peat material in the admixture.
