Coconut coir is also known as coconut fibre; it’s the springy material you get from inside the shell when you husk a coconut. I had never heard the term before and had to look it up.

I wonder if this is the reason the GP has such luck with it. From the linked Wikipedia article:

> Trichoderma is a naturally occurring fungus in coco peat; it works in symbiosis with plant roots to protect them from pathogenic fungi such as Pythium. It is not present in sterilised coco peat[citation needed].
