Coconut Gardening Magic [Daily Photo #461]

Coconut is so amazing – coconut cookies, coconut curry, coconut cakes, mmm. Coconut oil is great for hair and skin, it's a natural moisturiser. And coconut coir is great for gardening. The fibre in the husk isn't edible unlike the delicious white flesh, but it's not useless for us. Many things can be made from it, like doormats, ropes, and, of course, the planting coir that is today's subject.
