Hi Lois & All, Feb 1, 2007 I have had a half coconut shell variously in the compost heap or buried in the garden for about 30 years. Even in this environment, where the half-life of most organic matter is brief, it looked pristine when I last saw it about 5 years ago. This has led me to wonder why the tropics are not sky deep in coconut shells. Is there some cold-intolerant fungus that can live on these in warmer climates ?
