how to get dehusk coconut for your orchid poting mix

my way answering for the some guys who ask me how to get the coconut husk from coconut.
i made the video myself so sorry for the poor video quality, I use my cell to make this. A picture is worth a thousand words, a video definitely explain the process. Hope this help some of you when coming to potting material you can pick up a brown ripen coconut from the beach and get free potting material.

Digi, thanks for making this! Very interesting! Too bad I don't have any coconuts growing in my area.

I especially liked your advice about putting your feet on the handle to avoid hitting yourself in the head!
