It may be a little out of season, but it is a great time to start stocking up on the supplies you will need to get started for planting next year. In this video you will see a few simple steps to take to do a little potting before the season gets into full swing.
One of the coolest new products that recently came out is potting mix made from coconut husks. It expands when you add water and it holds onto moisture very well.
As you watch the video pick up the tips presented and enjoy a few new ideas. It’s the perfect time to plan for the future. Before you know it, spring will be back.
I was not aware that coconut husks were good for absorption in pottery, though I suspected that the hairy strands from the coconut could be good flint material for starting fires for a BBQ grill or for camping or even survival. I have coconut trees in my community and I may just try this method for some household plants I have in my backyard.
So what I have learned today is that coconut husks are the rough exterior shells of the coconut. So as long as the husks are not used for food like the meat and liquid found within the exterior shell, the coconut husk might as well be utilized in several ways, including creating enriched potting soil and as chips that can be used to provide ground cover for flower beds. A great way to not waste.
It seems the Coconut Husk has become a cutting edge technology. The coconut husk has become a very useful substance in light of today’s environmental and economic concerns. It has some common and not so common uses. Some of the uses are even quite innovative. This particular idea makes such good use of it and is conducive to the environment. I like the idea a lot.
Coconut husks are heard about more and more. I am intrigued about how some things that used to be throw-away items can now be used for a variety of useful purposes.
