This book covers the authors’ experiences of developing the farm and growing healthy, organic and natural, farm-fresh vegetables, herbs, fruits, grains, pulses and oilseed crops. The book covers various organic cultivation principles and practices such as organic manures, composts, bio-fertilizers, crop rotation, mulching, and biological pest control measures. The readers can adapt these practices to grow vegetables and fruits ethically, without using any synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, weedicides and growth regulators.
Farmers practising conventional and intensive agriculture are often reluctant in adopting organic farming, which is considered to be more expensive. Through this book, the authors aim to bring awareness about organic and natural farming practices, and prove that organic farmers can maintain a balance between farm expenses and farm outcomes by using integrated farming. The authors demonstrate various organic and natural farming practices that can increase the fertility of the soil, reduce expenditure on expensive chemical fertilizers and pesticides and increase the crop yields.
This book can serve as a handy reference for readers who wish to start their own organic farm. The book is structured into three parts and a total of 44 chapters. Part I covers an introduction to the farm and the best practices being adopted. Part II covers the key features of the farm including the farm layout, farm house design, off-grid solar system setup, vegetable & herbs garden, fruit nutrition garden, grains, pulses and oilseed crops area, chicken coop, farm equipment, and more. Part III covers the organic farming principles and practices being adopted at the farm including composting, mulching, crop rotation, green manures, weed control methods, pest management, bio-fertilizers, bio-pesticides, irrigation techniques, nutrient management, minimum tillage, companion planting, pheromone and sticky traps, friendly bugs, and more.
