1 | Gardeners Are Repurposing Coconut Waste as Eco-Friendly Plant Pots | Resahina amin'ny Mpanao Zaridaina ho Vazy Manaja Tontolo Iainana ny Fakom-Boanio |
2 | Plant vases made of coir fibre and coir piths are eco-friendly and cheap. | Sady mety amin'ny tontolo iainana no mora ny vazim-boninkazo vita amin'ny tsiratsiraka hodi-boanio sy iny hoditra matevimben'ny voanio iny. |

4 | Coir pots in the above picture are made from coir piths or coco peats, sourced as a by-product from coconut production. | Ireo vazim-bolom-boanio amin'ny sary etsy ambony dia vita amin'ny hoditra voanio matevina na faikam-boanio [taolam-boanio], “zavatra tsy ilaina” avy amin'ny famokarana voanio. |
5 | Coir is a natural fibre extracted from the hard, internal shell and the outer coat of a coconut and used in products such as floor mats, doormats, brushes, mattresses, twist rope, and weave carpets. | Ny taretram-boanio dia tsiratsiraka voajanahary nalaina avy amin'ny akora anatiny mafy sy ny fonony ivelan'ny voanio ampiasaina ho lasa vokatra hafa toy ny karipetra, famafana tongotra, borosy, kidoro, tady ary karipetra notenonina. |
6 | Coir fibres make up about a third of the coconut pulp and the remaining portion, called pith or dust, is biodegradable. | Ny taretram-boanio [volom-boanio] no mandrafitra ny ampahatelon'ny nofom-boanio ary mety levona ara-boajanahary ny ambiny, antsoina hoe tsiratsiraka na vovoka. |
7 | Coir pith used to be treated as waste material, but is now increasingly being used as soil treatment, mulch and a hydroponic growth medium, e.g. use inside the coir pot. | Natao ho fakofakon-javatra hatrany ny ireo volom-boanio, saingy ankehitriny efa miha-ampiasaina hikarakarana nofon-tany, velara-mololo ary fampitomboam-boly an-tanety tezaina anaty rano, Ohatra: ampiasaina amin'ny vazim-bolom-boanio. |
8 | If coir pith is artificially decomposed using biological agents, within 30 days it can convert to be 100% natural organic manure benefitting the plant. | Raha azo lovina (atao lò) amin'ny alalan'ny fampiasana kasinga biolojika ny hoditra voanio matevina, ao anatin'ny 30 andro dia afa-miova tanteraka ho zezika organika natoraly 100% mahasoa ny zavamaniry izy. |
9 | Using coir pots that can be planted directly in the garden can save an estimated 100 million plastic pots from ending up in garbage cans. | Ahafahana mitahiry hatramin'ny vazy plastika 100 tapitrisa tsy hiafara any amin'ny daba fanariam-pako ny fampiasana vazim-bolom-boanio izay azo ambolena mivantana ao amin'ny zaridaina. |
10 | The coconut tree (Cocus nucifera) grows in many tropical countries but is commercially exploited mainly in India, Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. | Mitombo any amin'ny faritra firenena tropikaly maro ny hazo voanio (Cocus nucifera) saingy any India, Thailandy, Sri Lanka ary Filipina ihany no tena mitrandraka azy ara-barotra. |
11 | Ropes and rigging made from coconut fibre have been in use from ancient times and are found in the Indian and Arab histories. | Efa nampiasaina hatramin'ny andro fahagola ny tady sy tady mahazaka vita amin'ny tsiratsiraka voanio ary hita ao amin'ny tantaram-piarahamonina Indiana sy Arabo. |
12 | This YouTube video shows how coir is made from coconut husks: | Ny lahatsary YouTube eto ambany no mampiseho fa avy amin'ny hoditra matevin'ny voanio ny tsiratsiraka : |
13 | India produces 60% of the total world supply of coir fibre. | Mamokatra ny 60%-n'ny volom-boanio manerantany i India. |
14 | India and Sri Lanka together produce 90% of the coir produced every year across the world. | India sy Sri Lanka miaraka no mitana ny 90%-n'ny vokatra taretram-boanio manerana izao tontolo izao. |
15 | India earned foreign exchange of Rs 2,200 million (approximately $37 million) by exporting coir pith during 2011-12 and aims to boost exports by five times mainly because of the demand in the Gulf countries. | Mahazo devizy Rs 2,2 miliara (tokotokony ho $37 tapitrisa) amin'ny alalan'ny fanondranana volom-boanio i India nandritra ny taom-pamokarana 2011-12 ary mikendry ny hampakatra avo dimy heny ny fanondranana noho ny filàna any amin'reo firenen'ny Helodrano. |
16 | One of the inventions using coir piths is the coir pot, an asset for anyone who wants to start green farming. | Iray amin'ny famoronana mampiasa ny taretram-boanio ny vazim-bolom-boanio, loharanom-bola hoan'ny rehetra te-hanomboka fambolena maitso. |

18 | - Apex Coir (@ApexCoir) November 12, 2013 After planting trees inside the pot, the roots grow through the coir, so the entire pot and plant can be put into the ground - no wasted plastic pot and no wasted effort. | Aorian'ny fambolena hazo ao anaty vazy, mitombo amin'ny alalan'ny volom-boanio ny fakany, ka azo alentika anaty nofontany manontolo miaraka ny vazy iray manontolo sy ny nambolena - tsy misy fandaniana vazy plastika amin'ny tsy antony ary tsy misy ezaka very maina. |

20 | Plant vases made of coir are the new export materials. | Zava-panondrana vaovao indray ny vazin-javamaniry vita amin'ny volom-boanio. |
21 | Surprisingly being quite cheap these eco-friendly materials haven't found a market in India. | Ny mahagaga tsy manana tsena any India itony fitaovana miafanaraka amin'ny tontolo iainana mora dia mora itony. |
22 | Coir pith is used as manure in the vases. | Nampiasaina ho zezika anaty vazy ny taretram-boanio. |
23 | After two years or so, when the roots start penetrating the vase, it could straight away be taken and planted. | Afaka roa taona, rehefa mamahatra ao anatin'ny vazy ny fakany, dia azo esorina sy ambolena. |
24 | What a neat idea! | Hevitra mandamina a! |
25 | The benefits of coir pots are that they can replace petroleum-based plastic nursery pots, flats and trays. | Ny tombontsoa azo amin'ny vazim-bolom-boanio dia ny fahafahany manolo toerana tanteraka ny vazy, ny koveta ary ny takelaka plastika vita avy amin'ny akora nosintonina tamin'ny solika. |
26 | Although they are lightweight, durable and can be recycled, they usually wind up in the trash causing environmental damage. | Na dia maivana, mateza ary azo ampiasaina indray aza ireny dia miafara any anaty fako hatrany ka miteraka fahasimban'ny tontolo iainana. |
27 | But things are changing. | Saingy maro ny zavatra miova. |
28 | Plants in biodegradable containers such as coir pots are gradually becoming more available as growers wake up to the environmental consequences of plastics and rubbers. | Mihabetsaka [eny an-tsena] ireo zavamaniry ao anaty fitehirizana mety levona ara-boajanahary fa efa mifoha manoloana ny fanimban'ny plastika sy ny fingotra amin'ny tontolo iainana ny mpamboly. |
