They're very good for the soil to help replenish nutrients, minerals, and help the soil retain water. If you can find a way to smash them up into bits, you can use them as mulch.

Drill a hole or two in the bottom for drainage and then eitgher screw to a wall/fence/tree or drill some more holes at the top so you can thread twine through or something then you can hang them like little mini hanging baskets. If you wanted to get advanced, you could bolt three ofr four half-shells together and then hang them up - giving you three/four separate pots to plant in - great for plants that would take over if they were all in the same hanging basket. I haven't tried this yet but next time I have a coconut in the house, I will - it sounds like it could me quite useful and interesting. Another gardening response - I think I must come off as a gardening obsessive on here! LOL! You can use them as interesting wall-mounted or hanging plant pots.
