Soil

Dear Friends,

We need to understand the soil better to save it.

Soil is the house for many micro organisms such as nematodes, bacteria, fungi, microfauna, and more. These organisms help plants to convert minerals and nutrients available in  the soil into energy. These soil organisms can store carbon, keep fungal infections and viruses away from your plants. Unfortunately, so many of the practices that are a part of popularly accepted agriculture actually cause the soil ecosystem to collapse.

The below picture will well describe the Ecosystem(Click here to know more about ecosystem)

Steps we should follow are below

1. Pls avoid chemical fertilizers and pesticides. 
2. Avoid using chemical coated seeds. They leach back the coated chemical into the ground which kills the micro organisms. Outcome of this the soil food web gets disturbed.
3. Add nutrients and minerals back to the soil. Compost is the only way to get the nutrients back.

More discussion points will come up. 

Feedbacks are most welcome.

Back to those Golden days of Agriculture

Hello friends,

The motive to open this blog to provoke a thought process on our ancient methodology of farming in younger minds of this generation.

It really hurts to read the facts on the effects of the Green revolution in our country. It is our responsibility to give a safe Earth to our future generation. 

To start with, Organic farming / gardening should be done in every individual house. Friends I have opened a Facebook group on Organic Gardening India. Posts on your experiments towards organic gardening is welcome there.

Many experts and seniors are there in this. We will start today together.

Hope you all will join your hands along with me in this mission.

Lets together bring back and save the life of our soil.

Thanks for visiting.
