Coco fiber is an alternative to peat.  Coco fiber or "coir" is made from coconut husks and is a by-product of coconut oil production.  Organic and biodegradable, it has been tested extensively as a plant growth medium.  Used in greenhouse and bedding plant production, on golf courses, in landscaping and erosion control.  Bales are compressed 1:5 and expand to a fluffy, dark brown, great smelling "peat" when warm water is added.

These are messy in transport (see photo); plan accordingly for pickup.
