Agriculture / horticulture
French term or phrase: (plaquette de) terre de coco
"Disposer les cinq bulbes à égale distance; compléter les intervalles avec la terre de coco; tasser légèrement."
ou bien
"Réhydrater les plaquettes de terre de coco dans 2 fois leur volume d’eau".
Je ne sais pas exactement a quoi se refere le "coco", mais je crois que ce n'est pas le "terreau" (la terre placee dans le pot, et ou sont plantees les fleurs ).
Le texte est extrait d'une brochure a instructions relatives aux etapes qu'on doit suivre quand on plante des diverses fleurs(jonquilles et jacinthes, ici).
Merci d'avance.

Coco Mats Suppress Weeds Better than Bark Mulch
If you're not diligent about replenishing bark mulch, it will look messy and start letting weeds through after just one season. These thick mulch mats are made of tightly woven coconut fibers and durable natural latex, so they stop weeds for several seasons. They reduce string-trimming chores too, because you can mow right over them.
* Last 3 years or more!
* Permeable to water, air, plant nutrients.
* Center hole is easily widened for larger plantings.
* Optional Earth Staples keep the rings in place permanently.
