Special thanks to Mrs.JayaKrishnaVeni for her support in bringing this article into this website. Hugelkultur was started in Germany in 1970s. Hugelkultur is done making the best use of all that litter your farm, starting from large wooden logs to the straw from your paddy field.  To start this, you just heap up the wooden logs of trees that either you cut down or that fell off during a storm. On this heap of wooden logs, add small twigs and other decompostable materials, basically the debris or litter that you need to pay and cart off your farm, e.g. corn stover. The small gaps in between these logs and twigs can be filled with leaves or straw or any other brown material that would be used for composting; you can also add mulching material. This would later become the growing medium for plants or crops you would grow on this bed. As the large wooden logs slowly disintegrate, they become sponges, helps the growing bed absorb and hold water. From these sponges, the roots can absor...

 As poultry industry getting too much commercial and every person making business on it thinking to get great returns in less time with minimal loss. Hence some of them are going in a route which is harmful to environment. let us look is the poultry manure purchased from a commercial poultry farmer. This waste is possibly significant for land application as a natural compost due to its moderately high supplement content particularly nitrogen(ammonia), owing to characteristically elevated levels of protein and amino acids . Chicken litter is a aggregate of fowl feces, feathers, bedding substances and split feeds, medicines, and water and so forth.  Is also contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms which includes micro organism, fungi, viruses and parasitic protozoa, and helminthes; antibiotics and pathogenic microbes with antibiotic-resistant genes; heavy metals; increase and intercourse hormones together with estrogen, mainly 17 beta estradiol, and testosterone; and insectic...

The worm bin is in the centre, and that is the place you can nourish the framework with your food scraps. In this form, it’s a sort of plastic bottle( Used bottles you can find in any general stores for 5rs, biscuit, chocolates, halls, Vicks bottles which they throw away after completion) pierced with holes—all things considered, you could utilize any sort of container that you can bore openings(drill holes) into. Around the outside is more soil, planted with veggies or herbs or blooms and so on of your decision. The dampness levels that are perfect for the worms are the same as the dampness levels that are perfect for the plants, yet any fluid that is produced by the compost will be consumed by the dirt and sustain the plants.  A cover(lid) would come helpful to evade flies, yet it isn't fundamental. When you put in rotten stuff that pulls in flies, as fish, chicken, meat, simply cover it under the base of the worm bin and cover it with soil and treated the soil materials i...

The solid natural soil in the normal world assists a web of life including microscopic organisms, moulds, yeast , protozoa, nematodes and additionally bigger organisms like worms and slugs. These life forms play a key part in the life of plants. They decompose organic matter to make the supplements accessible for plant roots. They condition the dirt and make air spaces and passages in it – enhancing air circulation and waste. Furthermore, they rival other more  unhealthy   living beings in the dirt, that will harm your plants if left unchecked.  There are a few distinctive ways you can include life to soil  Vermi Compost: Worm compost is particularly rich in soil life. It’s my number one choice for adding life to Soil. When matter is passed through the worm's body it becomes inoculated with all sorts of tiny life forms. So worm compost contains bacteria, fungi and other microscopic goodies (as well as worms!).Need to prepare our own compost(long process), bu...

1. Bio-Digestor - Immunity promoter and a biopesticide.The big tank is Fermentation tank which gathers dairy animals excrement(dung, urine) alongside weeds like Parthenium, lantana, Calotropis gigantea and more alongside therapeutic plants like neem, amla, Justicia adhatoda. This is permitted to decompose for 30 days. After that, it connected to filter channels and into the small gathering tank. The solution can be utilized both as a foliar or by means of Soil application. Cost of burrowing the pits, solid rings with a solid base, putting and four days wages of two ranch help - Rs 5,000.  2. Fertigation is a procedure which applies natural development promoters and characteristic composts through water system water straightforwardly to the root zone. Resistance promoters, for example, amrit pani, panchgavyaa, biopesticide and more blended with water system water is directed through this reused plastic stockpiling barrel to the fundamental pipeline. This is a controlled stra...

Feed and protect soil life and plants thrive in that soil. A single teaspoon (1 gram) of rich garden soil can hold up to one billion bacteria, several yards of fungal filaments, several thousand protozoa, and scores of nematodes. Healthy Soil = Healthy Plants = Nourishing Food = Good Health. Plants in sterile soil perform poorly. Unhealthy plants are more prone to pest and disease problems, just as unhealthy food leaves us more prone to disease and malnourishment. So what are superb soils? - They feel crumbly and moist. - They smell earthy. - Their structure is open allowing movement of air, water and nutrients to plant roots. - They are full of diverse and abundant life. Plants in real soil - superb alive soils - are supported by the web of life in the soil, in particular, fungus. 90% of plants rely on fungus to access most of the nutrients and moisture they need - the fungal filaments are like root extensions. They go finer, further and deeper than roots could ever g...

Every Metro City is filling up with dry leaves on roads. What are we doing? Just burning it. Instead of burning, pile them and add a bucket of water with 100ml of buttermilk every 10-15 days + Some Nitrogen-rich liquid like green leaves, grass clippings or kitchen waste. Compost will be ready for 60 days then use for plants. The leaves of one expansive shade tree can be worth as much as money of plant nourishment and humus.The leaves of most trees contain twice the same number of minerals as manure.Since most trees are profound established, they ingest minerals from somewhere down in the dirt and a decent bit of these minerals go into the leaves. Their humus-building qualities mean enhanced structure for all dirt sorts. They circulate air through overwhelming earth soils, keep sandy soils from drying out too quickly, douse up rain and check vaporization. The advantages of leaf compost are various. The manure expands the porosity of the dirt, raises the soil streng...

Introduction to COMPOST: Our Soils across the nation are very hungry with very poor soil structure. Over the past few decades, the power of soil productivity is declining. This is due to the decrease in soil organic matter and insufficient - inadequate natural nutrient supply to the soils. This has resulted in low yields. To improve the soil’s health and increase productivity level, application of COMPOST - a balanced and quality food - to the hungry soils will enhance the plant growth and address the nutritional security soils.  What is COMPOST & Why we need it: The process of transforming organic materials of plant or animal origin into high value organic manure is called COMPOST. It is a symbol of continuing life. We need COMPOST, because, it is a Great Recycler - Builds Soils Structure – Holds Moisture - Stops Soil Erosion – Improves Aeration in the Soil - Provide nutrients when plants need them – Attracts soil Organisms & Minerals – Neutralize Toxins – He...
