Ankuram Organic Farmers

 Namaste! In earlier posts, I have posted the blog on relevance of having cover crops to provide required fertility to the soil. Also I have written about the importance of desi cows and usage of it's by products such as cow urine, dung and butter milk. In this blog post, we would discus about the stages of paddy cultivation. we have chosen the naturally farmed paddy that was grown without any fertilizers and pesticides as the seed. Since we would need 3 cents of seedlings for 1 acre paddy cultivation, Choose your seedling bed size accordingly before going to the below mentioned steps. Make sure you put ghana jeevamrutham (prepared with desi cow dung, urine, natural sugar cane powder and gram flour )during preparation of seedling bed land for soil fertility. 9th May-2023: We have prepared the Beejamruttham (there are many videos on YouTube, how to prepare this liquid) 24 hours before bringing in the paddy seed. After beejamrutham fermented for 24 hours, we took 6 bags (30 kg each) ...

Greetings! I would like to write brief notes about the Desi cows and it's importance for natural farming. As I mentioned in my previous blog post we are gearing up to move away from the present practices of applying chemical based fertilizers and pesticides. Meaning, we would have to find alternate sources of increasing fertility of land. In that line, cow manure proved to be superior among other forms of fertilizing the land. contains various nutritional components, including minerals, vitamins, potassium, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon, cellulose, mucus and lignin and increases the earth-worms. Since we have cover crop which helps to increase the carbon percentage in soil and also add all required micro nutrients which cow dung failed to add in sufficient manner.  with the combination of the above 2 methods., cover crops before main crop and cow dung with urine by-products proved to be major contributors to increase soil fertility. Indigenous (Desi) cows milk contains A2 milk fats., w...

Greetings! What a day! I along with my friends who are already into natural farming have decided to organize as a group to spread the awareness about natural farming! But we should follow the natural farming methods in our own lands, before preaching someone, right. That's exactly I have decided to do right now with guidance from other experienced people. For last one month, we were busy making preparations for building goshala (cow sheds), Paddy storage room and rooms for staff. Since my land has been farmed using non natural methods for past 10 years, I have decided to start giving the land some fertility using cover crops! In India, there is a new method called PMDS., stands for Pre-monsoon dry sowing. Using this method, 2 months before the main crop., variety of pulses, grains and leafy vegetables are sowed into land. Either we water them lightly or wait for monsoon to help with germination! After 2 months., cover crop will be undercut or rolled into land and let it rot into so...
