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?

rz asked:
I want a decent size organic garden. I would like a lot of tomatoes, green beans, herbs, zuccine, eggplant, squash, lettuces, peppers, and corn. When do I start? Can I start them from seeds now? What can I plant to keep pests away? Any advise would be great.
