How to Growing carrots in garden organically

Growing carrots in garden organically 

For growing carrots organically, the following things are a prerequisite.

i.                    Carrot seeds

ii.                  Fertilizer

iii.                Appropriate place

iv.                 Spade- for digging

v.                   Fork– for leveling the ground

vi.                 Water

So now friends let’s move to our garden where we have to grow carrots.

Firstly we will have to dig the place up to 8-10 inches where the carrots are to be grown. After digging, we have to leave that place without water for 24 hours. Now after letting it dry for 24 hours, we have to break the soil into small bits with the help of a fork. Then we have to make a small mound of around 2-3 inch in form of a straight line in that broken soil. 

Next, the sowing of seeds is to be done.

Sowing of carrot seeds:

As a word of caution, the sowing of seeds is to be done gingerly as carrot seeds are quite light and tiny.

For the purpose of sowing, we have to make a line of half inch depth in that mound, with the help of wooden stick or hand. Sowing will be done in mid of this line.

Now we will take the seeds in or hand and will sprinkle them in that line made on the mound. After dropping them in that line we have to place a layer of soil over the seeds by dropping the soil over them with hands similarly.  The soil is to be placed in form of a simple, small, loose layer over them and we don’t have to smash that tightly over seeds. This will facilitate the aeration of seeds.

After placing that layer we have to sprinkle water droplets on it. A sprinkling of small droplets must be there and it must be made sure that pressure of water stream neither rams the soil tightly on seeds nor removes the soil layer from them. It is also essential to hydrate the surroundings of the mound as that ambient moisture help the seeds to sprout. After all this, next day we have to give more water there.

Here the sowing part concludes and we now have to wait for 3-4 days for the sprouts to unearth. After 3-4 days we will see minute carrot plants there. Now we just have to water them on alternate days and wait for 60-80 days.

Carrot Harvesting:

After this when our carrots reach their pre-specified size, we can remove them from the ground. If we need baby carrots then we can remove them in 35-40 days. Baby carrots are those ones which are half of the size of a fully ripe carrot.

How to grow fenugreek in the garden organically

How to grow fenugreek in the garden organically

First of all, let us get aware of fenugreek. It is foliage (vegetable plant) which is less than a foot in length and it leaves are used in making green-stuff vegetable and its beans are used as the spice.

It is very beneficial from the health perspective and is even used as medicine in various diseases.

So now let’s learn about growing this plant organically at home.

Grow fenugreek

First of all dig and break the soil where the plantation is to be done and make it uniform.

If there are big blocks of sand then break them as well. Let it then dry for 24 hours.

After making it uniform and we have to add organic fertilizer (compost) made of cow dung.

This compost is to be mixed thoroughly in soil with hands and soil is made to be uniformly flat.

In that flat uniform soil, we have to make a line of depth about half an inch with the help of a stick and we can utilize the soil to its maximum because fenugreek seeds and plants are not big in size. For sowing, we have to place the seed in that half inch deep line with our hands. After this, we have to cover those seeds with a layer of soil which is neither too thick nor too thin. Then we have to sprinkle water droplets on that layer lightly and then hydrate the surroundings completely. Here our sowing part concludes.

Now we have to wait for 3-4 days for the sprouting of seeds. And after that, you can see that same kind of fenugreek plants have grown.

Now we have to water them regularly and DON’T fertilizes it again.  When you see that plants have grown enough to consume them as food, cut them with the help of blade and water them again. By this, they will tend to grow again. Similarly, you can consume those leaves for 2-3 times from a single plant.

Preparing the soil to grow potatoes :

Firstly we will have to check the pot (in which we will grow potato). That pot must not be broken or crack from anywhere. After this, we have to arrange good soil from garden or farm. The soil from garden must be dug up to 8-10 inch and then in that part, we will put some water and let it like this there for next 24 hours. This will ensure the uniformity of moisture and nutrients throughout the soil. Now after keeping it wet for 24 hours we have to break the soil finely with the help of hands or forks and then put it in some bag utensil or bucket and take that to the pot.

Sowing of potato seeds:

Before sowing the potatoes, we have to mix the soil and fertilizer finely with hands and will have to make sure that big stones or concrete particles are not there. Moreover, we have to take care while sowing that eye of potato seed (Bijjuaaloo) must be in the upward direction that is facing the sky. This ensures a speedy growth.

In that uniformly mixed fertilized soil we have to keep the potato seed completely inside. The soil must not be pressed tightly or rammed on the seed. It must be loose for aeration purpose. After sowing we have to water the soil. Only that much water must be given, which permeates inside and get absorbed into the soil.

Now after watering we have to place the pot in a place which receives direct sunlight and water it regularly. The pot must receive sunlight of 4-5 hours. Here our sowing part concludes and we have to wait for 6-7 days till potato sprouts. After a week we can see that a small plant has grown where we sowed the seed. Now we have to water them on alternate days and wait for 60-80 days

How to grow garlic in the garden organically

How to grow garlic in the garden organically

The soil in which garlic is supposed to be sown needs to be tilled and after that let it dry for 24 hours without giving water there.

After drying for one day, the soil is to be tilled with the help of a fork.

After this, we have to make an elevated line of soil up to the height of 2-3 inch and now we have to sow the garlic in this later on.

For this, we have to take good quality bigger cloves of garlic as per our necessity and open the fragments of them. Every fragment has two parts: The tailed one and another a bit perky. Now we have to seed this garlic filament into that elevated straight line of soil made earlier in a way that tailed part is in soil and the sharper perky part is little visible above the soil.

Now after this we have to place a layer of soil above that perky part also. This layer is to be made by sprinkling soil on it with help of hands and is not to be pressed or rammed hard. This layer must be loose to aerate the garlic.

After this, we have to sprinkle water droplets lightly over that layer. That sprinkling of droplets must be done carefully and lightly in a way that the pressure of water neither press the soil to garlic fragment nor it remove the soil layer from garlic.

Moreover, we have to make sure that on the first day we have to hydrate the surroundings where we seeded or garlic fragments.

On the second day, we have to give more water to them. Here our sowing part concludes and now we have to wait for 5-6 days.

After this much time, we will come to see tiny sprouts where we seeded the kinds of garlic. After 2-4 days of sprouting, we will notice a speedy growth in the plant. Now we have to water them on alternate days and let them grow more for 90-120 days. After this, we have to harvest them from the soil.

Earn bumper profit through farming of tuberose !

Farming of Tuberose

Tuberose is a plant of highly fragrant flowers found in almost all parts of India. Tuberose (Rajnigandha) flower is about 25 mm height, white in color and has the shape of a funnel.  The flowers have a characteristic high note aroma. At some places of India tuberose is also known by names like “Anjani,” “Sugandhraj” and in Urdu it is known as “Gul-E-Shabbo.”  In German it is called “Tuberosa,” in French it is pronounced as “tubereyuz, ” and in Spanish it is christened as “Tubeyroozah.” In aroma and flower industry tuberose flowers have a prominent place because of its lingering fragrance, longevity, and transportability.

Suitable Climate for Tuberose:

This is a plant propagated through the bulb and can be grown in any clean soil. But loamy and sandy soils are considered best for its large scale harvest.  The large scale farming at the professional level of tuberose plant is done in West Bengal, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, UP, Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. Tuberose plants tend to provide us with flowers in 80-90 days. Flowers bloom during April-September in plains and during June-September in rough areas. It can be grown throughout the year in regions where the temperature difference in day and night is not much significant. Tuberose is a plant of cold climate but can be grown throughout the year in average temperatures.    The most suited temperature for tuberose growth and development is 20-30° C.

Land selection and preparation for Tuberose cultivation:

Tuberose can be cultivated in almost all kind of soil which is slightly acidic or little bit alkaline. Loamy sand or loam with good aeration and water supply and having pH in the range of 6.5-7.5 is best suited. For cultivating Tuberose, two imp factors must be pondered before. First-The farm or bed of flower must not be the shady area. They need a good sunlight. Second-The farm r bed must have good supply and drainage of water. First of all the soil in Farm or bed or pot must be made soft and uniform because this plant is propagated through bulb and preparation must be done to ensure the bulb’s appropriate development.  Especially, weeding must be done before seeding.  Otherwise, the wedding will be difficult later on.

Kinds of Tuberose:

According to shape and size of flower and leaf color, it is classified into three types.

Single: 

Mexican single, Mexican ever-blooming and Kolkata single have white color flowers and have only one row of petals on them.

Double: 

Kolkata double has a white flower, and upper part of leaves is rosy. Petals are arranged in several rows, by which the center of the flower is not visible.

Semi-double. 

Goldline: This is like ‘double’ kind, but have the lesser petals-a row of 4-5 petals. Due to its attractive colors and varieties, it is respectively known as Gold line and Silver line.    

Seeding of Tuberose:

Its bulb can be sown during March-May. The diameter of the bulb must be or greater that 2cm. Always the healthy and fresh bulb must be used. Bulb, according to its size and with respect to soil type must be sow to the depth of 4-7 cm and 20-30 cm from line to line and while sowing the distance between bulbs must be 10-12 cm. The soil must be well hydrated before sowing the bulbs. In 1 hectare area, 1.2-1.5 Kg bulbs are required.  

Irrigation for Tuberose:

Good hydration is required while seeding the bulbs and when they sprout, watering must be avoided. During summers, watering must be done at the interval of 4-7 days and at an interval of 10-12 days during winters. Irrigation must be planned, considering whether plant growth and soil type.

Weeding:

As per the need and at least once in a month weeding and tilling must be done with the help of scrapper and hands.

Insect Control in Tuberose:

Tuberose is not infested and other ailments are not found in it. For controlling insects the decoction of Neem mixed with Cow urine must be sprinkled on the crop.

Harvesting of Tuberose:

Tuberose yields us with flowers after 3-5 months. For getting cut flower, the whole spike is detached from a plant. Spike must be detached after sprouting of 2-3 more flowers from it.

Flower at its full bloom must be taken away for getting essential oils out of it.

On average 2-6 florets/spikes can be picked daily. This way 50Kg florets can be reaped daily from 1-hectare land.

The growth of Tuberose:

In the first year, the harvest of the Tuberose flower is around 150-200 quintal per hectare while in the second year it is around 200-250 quintal. After that, harvest tends to decrease. Through Tuberose crop 2.3 lacs spikes per hectare or 15-20 ton loose flower per hectare and 15-20 ton Tuberose bulbs and lattes per hectare provide with extra earnings.

Hydroponics - The future of Agriculture

What is hydroponics?

Hydroponics refers to the technique of growing plants (without soil) in water containing dissolved nutrients. Also, some people called it hyponics known as aquaculture or tank farming, hydroponics is a modern agriculture technique in which the growth and sprouting of vegetation are caused and controlled by nutrient level in the water. This technique of agriculture is getting notice and it involves the modern scientific practices. 

​Procedure of hydroponics agriculture

In hydroponics or aquaculture, water is enriched with those essential nutrients, which are required for growth and yield of plants. The pH level of water is maintained to a specified limit ensuring a better growth and yield. In this method of agriculture, plants get nutrition from water and sunlight and yield the output. As said earlier this farming don’t require soil, that’s why if anyone wants to harvest crops through aquaculture then firstly he/she must ensure to transform the basics of soil to water. Aquaculture requires water in lieu of soil so such kind of water must be made available that has the basic properties of soil.

​Nutrition tank for securing nutrients


Nutrition pump which propels nutrients Channel for allowing a flow of nutrients. Nutrients ejected by plant roots. Remaining nutrients recycled back to a tank.

Support to plant roots in Hydroponic:

Generally, in hydroponic technique, sand, gravels or plastic are used to support the plant roots.

Supply of nutrients in hydroponic:

In soil based farming the supply of nutrients is from organic substances but in aquaculture/hydroponics, “plant food” fertilizer is added in water to provide a balanced nutrition.

Supply of oxygen in a hydroponic system:

In soil based farming plants get oxygen from the soil while in hydroponics, plants get oxygen from water. Just like fishes get oxygen from water in an aquarium.
Water supply: In soil based simple farming, plants get water present in the soil, while in hydroponics plants get water directly.
Without affecting the natural procedures of plants, how to transform the soil based cropping into aquaculture is elaborated above.

Benefits of hydroponics:

The following benefits are associated with hydroponics.

• In this kind of agriculture, all the nutrients are assimilated by plants without wastage. So it's a less polluting system.
• The hydroponic technique requires less amount of water compared to conventional farming.
• In hydroponics, the pH level of water is maintained to a specific level stringently and nutrients are provided in a conditioned manner. So in this farming, we can expect a steady fast growth and better yield.
• In hydroponics, the agriculture system can be automatized and managed quite easily.
• This requires lesser space than conventional farming
• Yield through hydroponics is of better quality.
• Combining this technique with greenhouse method can result from a much better yield.

The only negative trait of hydroponics is start up investment. However, the farmers employing the greenhouse technique are getting fair results with hydroponics.

Mango Grafting Technique | How-2-Do It Guide Step By Step Guide

What is Grafting?

Mango Grafting process :

Grafting is the technique of cutting and grouping of two parts of a plant of same breed or family in a way that those two parts attach themselves in form of a single plant with increased growth rate and better rectification.

Several ways are there for grafting in mango which are Cleft, Chip Budding, Whip, Approach, Stub, Four Flap (Banana), Awl and Veneer Grafting. Out of these Patch Grafting (Cleft Grafting) is most widely adopted.

For adopting this technique firstly we have to prepare the Rootstock of mango. Rootstock means the part of the plant with its root, of which grafting is to be done after growth. A year earlier the seed is sown in the nursery and after sprouting it is fixed in a bed at a distance of 20-30 cm. The width of the bed must be around 3 feet and length may vary as per convenience.

Here Is The Best Grafting tool for beginners :

Bud-Stick Preparation for mango grafting :

For preparing Bud-Stick, the healthiest branch from mother plant is chosen. From the tip of the branch, leaves are detached with the help of secateurs and that branch is left in the tree for a week. After a week the lower part of leaves tends to drop and buds start to develop. At this point, bud stick is cut in length of 10-12 cm. Now, this bud stick is absolutely ready for grafting purpose.

Root-Stock Preparation for mango grafting :

For preparing Root-Stock, choose the best plant sprouted from seeds and cut this plant up to a height of 15-17 cm from the ground with the help of secateurs. This root-stock is ready for grafting purpose.

Mango Grafting Process Steps :

For mango grafting, the root-stock is cut up to 15-17 cm from ground with the help of secateurs as aforementioned and then at the mid of trunk a deep cut (4-cm) is made by grafting knife. And of the same length, a ‘V” shaped cut is peeled off in bud-stick. Then this peeled off bud-stick is connected to cut Rootstock and is carefully pressed completely so as to make sure that cambium of   Root-stock and bud-stick is thoroughly linked. To fasten this contact polyethylene strip of 25-30 cm length and width of 2 cm is used and is affixed at the joined by hands. This joint takes 45-60 days to coalesce completely.  Plant developed by this grafting method is christened as grafted plant and here the grafting process completes.

Precautions while Grafting a mango :

i.                    Bud-stick and Rootstock must be of the same girth.

ii.                  They must be fastened tightly and completely.

iii.                Grafting process is seasonal and the months of July and August are best for it.

iv.                 Secateurs and Grafting Knife used in the process must be clean and sharp.

              So this is it, Mango Grafting is very easy for newbies. You can ask us for more information about mango Grafting and Grafting other fruits. Thank you For reading Mango Grafting.
