K asked:


cow dung, cow urine, jaggery, flour, soil, neem oil (as pesticide) and water.

This technique says that each gram of cow dung has more than 500 crores of beneficial micro-organisms that make the soil more fertile. The dung generated by one cow is sufficient to produce organic manure for 30 acres. This natural fertilizer can be used for any crop.

Mulching plays a vital role in this technique. Mixed cropping and crop rotation is used to ensure replenishment of soil fertility.

In this system of farming no monetary investment on the part of farmer is required for purchase of seeds, fertilizers and plant protection chemicals from the market. The farmer can produce his own seed. More importantly, there is absolutely no place for fertilizers and plant protection chemicals in this scheme of farming. The whole philosophy behind this system is to make the farmer self-reliant by freeing him from market dispensed high cost inputs.

Will this technique be successful in the long run?

jud asked:


still wet and cold my garden will not be planted until the end of May. But by then it will be filled with weeds. Can I apply corn gluten now and then till it under in May without hurting my first planting? Or just fight the weeds until my plants are 5 inches tall?

Destined asked:


I’m tired of living in the “big” city and being around persons whom simply are inane and criminal. I would like to be able to build a or join a community with morals, artsy types, whom are interested in organic farming and raise livestock (humanely) and are interested in things besides who’s on Jerry today? I am an intellect and artist, singer, writer and healer and long to find others whom have the same interests and are in search of knowledge and are not nuts or cult types.
Persons such as “Doug” I do not wish to hear from… thank you…

Jenna asked:


My friend and I were arguing about this. Her opinion is that it is actually worse for the environment because since no pesticides are used the ground must be tilled more to get rid of weeds causing more erosion.
