v The
coconut trees
Also known as Cocos nucifera, is a tree of life that
provides much of what we need for life. All the elements of that tree are
suitable for human consumption. Today we use the peel of a coconut. There is so
much that can be done with it.
For examples, rope making, broom making, carpet making, coir
making, mattress making, ornament making are some of them. Today we make a mini
nursery using coconut husk.
v What is
the significance of a mini nursery?
Soil fertility is declining due to the use of chemicals around the
world. At such an age, man is realizing that re-adoption of natural methods is
essential for the future survival of the soil. We intend to introduce this mini
nursery as a solution to those problems. Made from natural coconut husk
(height: 15cm, width: 18cm, perimeter: 57cm), add Genisiriya leaves, drumstick
leaves, jackfruit leaves, and a little soil from your garden to fill the hole
in these small nurseries.
v How plant
your seed.
After adding water also. Allow about 3 days to return to normal.
NB: This collection of natural foliage produces all the nutrients a plant needs
to grow. Then you can plant any seed you hear of here. As the plant grows, make
a hole of the required size in the ground (height: 15cm, width: 18cm,
perimeter: 57cm) and place it completely in the hole so that the plant will
attach to the ground naturally.
It can also be used as a hanging ornament or as a bird's nest. We
invite you to contribute to the protection of nature while enjoying the
inspiration you get from this method!
Coir and husks
provide high air and water holding capacity within the container. It has a
slightly acidic to neutral pH range, so it does not require limestone for pH
adjustment. The pH of coir and husk ranges from 6.0 to 6.8
Choosing a
Growing Medium As a gardener
you know that you can’t simply
put a plant in the ground and expect it to thrive. Specialized planting soil,
topsoil, and ground cover can all be used in combination to help your garden
grow. When it comes to choosing planting mediums for your garden, there are
many products on the market. One product you may consider experimenting with is
coconut husk. Read on to learn more about how growing professionals and casual
gardeners alike can benefit from using coconut by-products.
What Are Coconut Husk
Products? Although by-products from coconut husks have been used by
gardeners for decades, many people are still not familiar with coconut-derived
growing materials. The process of husking the fibrous portion of the coconut,
known as coco coir, dates back to the 1980s. Back then, commercial flower
growers found coconut coir allowed the roots of roses and other flowering
plants to thrive. Since then, gardening with coconut husk products has grown in
popularity. However, despite all of its benefits, coconut coir is still unknown
to many home gardeners and professional landscapers.
v Benefits for Home Gardeners.
When visiting your local
landscaping supply store, you’ll find that you have many different planting
mediums to choose from, each with its own list of benefits. There are several
factors you want to consider when choosing the right product for your plants
such as drainage, nutrient density, and acidity level. Your planting medium is
very important, so you don’t want to make a decision based on price alone.
Coconut coir-based products have many desirable qualities that home gardeners
look for including: Water Retention One of the main reasons why coconut coir
makes for such a great growing medium is it’s natural ability to retain
moisture for long periods of time.
There are other planting
products that do an equally good job at retaining water, however, what makes
coconut husk-based products so unique is that the natural fibbers are
able to retain moisture without suffocating plants. Aeration Fibrous coconut
coir expands in such a way that it allows for great aeration for the roots of
your plants. Some planting materials tend to become too compact around plants,
causing them to suffocate over time. However, coconut husk products allow
oxygen to flow freely around plant roots, which help maintain the health of
your plants, ultimately allowing them to grow larger, faster.
v Sustainable.
There are many growing
mediums on the market that are simply not eco-friendly. However, coconut husk
products are a smart choice if you’re looking to limit your environmental
impact. That’s because coconuts are an easily renewable resource. In fact, a
single coconut tree is able to produce upwards of one hundred and fifty
coconuts per year. That means that producers of coconut coir products can rely
on a constant supply of raw materials each year. Plus, coconut trees typically do
not require the use of pesticides and other chemicals to maintain their health.
When you purchase coconut-based products you can rest easy knowing that you’re
making an environmentally responsible choice.
v Naturally pH Balanced.
As you begin to delve
into more advanced gardening techniques, you will probably start looking at
monitoring the acidity level of your soil and growing mediums. Certain plants
are very sensitive to changes in the pH levels of their soil. Some growing
mediums that you purchase off the shelf at your local landscaping supply store
may be far too acidic for your plants. If the pH of your soil isn’t at the
optimum level, your plant may fail to thrive or even die, no matter how much
care you take to water and fertilize it. However, this is not a concern with
you use coconut coir as your planting medium. That’s because coco coir has a
natural pH of about 5.2 to 6.8. This is nearly neutral on the pH scale, making
it ideal for lots of plants without the need for additives.
v Nutrient Density.
There are many vital
nutrients that are naturally found in coconut by-products. These include
potassium, iron, manganese, copper, and zinc. These nutrients are very
beneficial plants. One of the great things about coconut coir is that it releases
these nutrients very slowly, so it will feed your plants on an ongoing basis
over time. What’s more, coconut coir is also rich in natural hormones that act
as bio-stimulants, encouraging your plants to flourish.
v Beneficial Bacteria.
You may think of bacteria
as a bad thing, however, certain types of bacteria are beneficial to plants.
Coconut coir has been proven to promote the growth of lignins, increasing the
among of beneficial bacteria around your plant’s root systems. This beneficial
bacterium serves to combat harmful bacteria that may harm your plants. This is
one reason why coconut coir is so popular amongst hydroponic growers.
v Cost
Effective.
Because coconut husk
products take a very long time to break down and release their beneficial
nutrients slowly, gardeners can go a long time without replacing their growing
medium. In addition, coconut coir’s natural ability to retain moisture will
help you save on your water bill. Compared to other growing mediums, coconut
coir products are not the most expensive but are also not the least. However,
these moderately-priced products Best Uses
v Potting Medium
.
Coconut coir is a
wonderful growing medium for hydroponic applications, container gardens, and
pots. Coco coir is also great for indoor plants, especially for soilless
planting. Coconut husk-based products can be purchased in ready-to-use bags, or
in breaks that expand when soaked in water.
v Ground Cover.
Coconut coir mulch or
coco chips are great for use outdoors as ground cover. Coco products do a great
job of retaining moisture and surpassing the growthof weeds. In addition, your
shrubs and other outdoor plants will benefit from the additional nutrients that
are released from your coconut coir ground cover
