For planting in field border as a single row, adopt  20′ spacing  between plants. Dig  pit  size of 3’ x 3′ x 3′. In the pits, fill the pit to a height of two feet (60 cm) with  compost , cocopeat, common salt and  sand  mixed in equal proportions. At the  center  of the pit, remove the soil mixture and plant the seedling after removing all the roots.  Press the soil well around the seedling and provide the seedling with  shade  by using coconut leaves or palmy leaves. Keep the pits free from weeds. Remove soil covering the  collar  region. As the seedlings grow and form stem, fill up the pits gradually by cutting the sides. Proper supply of  moisture  either through well distributed rainfall or irrigation and sufficient  drainage  are essential for coconut.
