Southern Trident unveils the next generation of compressed growing medium
New for 2025 from Southern Trident is Little Big Compost, the rebranded and refreshed version of its Coco & Coir compressed compost range. This new identity reflects the transformation that takes place—a small, easy-to-carry coir block that, by adding water, expands up to 15 times its volume into premium-quality, peat-free medium.
Ideal for less-able gardeners, it provides convenience without compromise. The compact size makes it easy to transport and store. Its expansion power provides a substantial growing medium in just minutes.
For even greater ease, the 9L and 15L packs now feature self-expanding bags! Just open the bag, add water, and watch as the compressed coir transforms into light, fluffy compost, ready for planting. No mess, no fuss, just perfect growing conditions.
