    Gardening: what do I do with Coconut Husks?

    So I made a lot of stupid mistakes that were very painful to recover from: 1. I put pots on the terrace and filled it with mud - stains the wall, low yield. 2. I put Zinc sheets+pots in the mud as a barrier - attracts rats - mud binds to everything, leaves get in - difficult to sweep. Now I'm...
