Hello my fellow Steem members,
Today i came across a fascinating way of growing nursery saplings and I had to share.

Process:

  1. Punch holes in the bottom of the coconut for the root system
  2. Fill the coconut with soil and plant a seed in it.
  3. Plant the coconut in a field.

Merits:

  1. This removes the need to use plastic containers for saplings
  2. The coconut is biodegradable and provides nutrients necessary for plant growth.
  3. The coconut is also provides as a vessel for water retention.

Happy Steeming!
