pod said:I found the coir liner dried out way too quickly and required far more watering than I wanted to do.

I had planted a Sansevieria parva in it. It was kind of neat as the plant would develop new plantlets growing through the coir. I ended up having to soak the whole container to water.

I read later that the coir could be lined with a plastic for better moisture retention.


I agree. I am not a big fan of coir at all for that reason but the idea of lining with plastic would be very helpful. nodding Good use for "recycled" grocery bags.
I garden for the pollinators.
