Solution for slugs
Sown different types of native variety seeds in a single row. Sprouted well. But the slugs consumed the sprouts.
Searched solutions to eliminate the slugs from farm. Tried sprinkling salt around the plants but in vain. Nearby neighbour was using snail kill, a chemical product to get rid of slugs.
Using a chemical product was not my aim. I tried every possible organic solution to get rid of slugs but in vain. I purchased the product and crushed them into small pieces. Sprinkled them and the next day the slugs were dead.
There were more than hundred slugs dead.
Note: If anyone would like to contribute an organic solution to get rid of these slugs. You are welcome...!
Like previous year, this time planting sown pumpkin
and bottle gourd in the same row. This time too no till
farm. just cleared the weeds. when clearing the weeds and dried pumpkin shoots and bottle gourds, saw the weeds were decomposed without receiveing the sunlight as pumpkin and bottle gourd took over them. Pumpkin seems to be one
of
the crop in suppressing the weeds.
Previos year i would not able to post all the details from
sowing, manuring, pests, pruning, marketing from 25 bottle
gourd and 15 pumpkin plants. But, this time would like to
share each and every thing from sowing to harvest.
