Organic-farming -- Uncommon benefits from common sense You do not have to be a rich landlord owning hundreds of hectares. You don't need pots of money. You can create a paradise in your own backyard, if you just employ some long-forgotten commonsense techniques. You can give life to this earth which gives you life. Organic-farming is actually a combination of a whole lot of ideas and techniques which employ natural and commonsense means. BIOFARM demonstrates some simple and commonsense techniques for enriching the health of our farms and gardens. BIOFARM is a concept developed by Dr. Parthasarathy
No chemicals -- no poisons : We use no man-made chemicals to artificially enhance plant yield. As a result, there are no residual poisons in our yield. Food tastes better and healthier. You and your children and your grandchildren, are saved from slow poisoning. You avoid all kinds of bizarre health problems. No poisons get injected into the soil. No poison leaches into your the water you drink.Your world is a healthier and a happier place to live in.
Vermiculture and vermi composting : The humble and
helpless earthworm can do wonders to your soil. It works tirelessly,
in more than one way. Vermiculture is the art of breeding earthworms.
Vermi compost is the art of creating organically-rich manure using the
earthworm. Two processes are involved. The earthworm consumes and
digests decaying organic matter. Thus, we get rid of organic wastes
effectively. The excretion of these earthworms is now rich in all the
chemicals which were there in the original feed. The excretion is
water soluble so it gets easily absorbed by plant roots. Your plants
get better food for growing. And in addition to this, earthworms dig
burrows in and around the roots. This makes the soil loose and well
aerated. Your roots spread faster and effortlessly. Should we all not
be grateful to this humble creature ? Can you find any better solution
to make your plants grow faster and turn healthier ?
