Cocopeat Manure: As soon as you put this fertilizer in the pot, the plants will become green
Cocopeat Manure: Ved Prakash from Jamshedpur has adopted a novel approach to gardening by creating an organic fertilizer that is very beneficial for both gardeners and environmental conservation. ‘Cocopeat’ is the name of this fertilizer made from coconut shells. By giving the plants the moisture and nutrients they need, this natural substance not only makes the soil more fertile but also keeps the plants green.
What is cocopeat?
An organic fertilizer made from coconut shells, cocopeat is said to be particularly beneficial for plants. Bricks containing this fertilizer are sold in stores. Long-term water retention by cocopeat may shield plants from drought. It is an eco-friendly product that is entirely organic.
How does one make cocopeat?
Ved Prakash provided the following definition of the cocopeat-making process:
An assortment of coconut shells
From the marketplaces, he gathers coconut shells.
Making the peels dry
The peels are fully dried in the sun to eliminate any remaining moisture.
Making powder
Special equipment are used to grind the dried peels into a fine powder.
Brick production
By exerting pressure, this powder is shaped into bricks.
Final product
The ready-to-use cocopeat bricks are packaged.
How is cocopeat used?
Bricks should be put in a pot.
Put the cocopeat bricks in a big container, like a pot.
Pour in some water.
Bricks expand and become soft, wet manure when the right quantity of water is added.
Putting trees in
Carefully plant and tend trees in cocopeat.
