OK Brenda...I had to look up "coir"... I call it coconut fiber!! I bet it was quite a shock to see the crows after your plants!! They are just way too clever for their own good!!
I need to find something red to put my materials into.....have some raw combed cotton, TONS of dog hair from my 2 labs getting rid of their winter coats and some yarn to cut up.
I hate losing plants....I know they are "just plants" but when you nurse them along and baby them and get them to grow, bloom, and be pretty and they die....it's like losing a friend.....
