Real and Fake: Even the plants can tell ..

Creepers won't grow on nylon ropes .. 

The creepers of my cucumber and beans plants were getting hopelessly entangled. My father, resourceful as he is, started a project of building a stand of nets for the creepers to grow. I gave him all the ropes I found at home. He picked out only the jute ropes and left out all the synthetic ones.

He told me that the creepers won't grow and wind on to the synthetic ropes. The jute ropes were ok but not ideal. The best ones for the creepers are the "coir" ropes made from coconut fibre.

I learnt something today, that even the plants can tell the real from the fake!!
