How to get ready for capitalism collapse?

In this article let us learn about how to Learn a live a self sufficient life, when capitalism collapses. The thoughts from Bill mollison.



1. Learn to plant. Not only garden, but some food crops like cassava, sweet potatoes, pumpkin etc and trees like fruits, nuts, woody trees.

2. Create a bond with some land, whether it's yours or that of a relative, a project, a community garden etc. Participate with the people who live there, go gradually looking for ways  to spend more time in the countryside than in the city, learning to plant, build, treat organic waste and heal in nature.

3. Develop practical skills (cooking, carpentry, machine repair, food processing, sewing, etc.) Teach these skills to children, friends and neighbors.

4. Look for a mutual support group, where people take care of each other, make products of basic need collectively, such as natural hygiene products, natural remedies such as syrups, herbal tinctures, Food processing (preserved and fermented foods).

5. Simplify your life now, releasing more space and time. Discover everything you can do without money such as walk, exercises, crafts, arts, gardening and socializing with your loved ones.

6. Separate from the logic of consuming more and more. They prefer handmade products that last a long time, quality, made by small producers, social companies and solidarity economic companies. Make exchanges, give and receive gifts of affective value, rather than financial value.

7. Exchange, store, multiply and spread seeds (native, not genetically modified).

Preparation of Waste Decompser and applications

The Waste Decompser was launched by NCOF in the year 2015. It is used for quick composting from decomposable wastes, organic waste. It is also mainly used for oil health management and for plant protection.

Waste Decompser are micro organism extracted from Desi cow dung. As on date, waste decomposer is solid in a bottle of 30 gms costing RS. 20 per bottle directly through NCOF. The Waste Decompser is validated by ICAR.

How can you prepare Waste Decompser ?

• Take 2 kg Jaggery and mix it  with a 200 litres of water in a plastic drum.

• Now take 1 bottle of Waste decomposer and pour all its contents in a plastic drum containing Jaggery solution in a plastic drum.

• Mix it properly with a wooden stick for uniform distribution of waste Decompser in the drum.

• Cover the drum with a cloth or cardboard and stir it every day once or twice.

• After 5 days the solution of drum turns creamy.




Points to Remember :

Farmers would prepare the waste Decompser solution again and again from the above formed solution. For this, 20 liter of waste decomposer solution is added to a drum with 2 kg Jaggery and 20 liter water.
Farmers can prepare continuously this solution from this waste Decompser for lifetime.


Uses

1. Waste decomposer application 1000 liter per acre changes biological and physical properties of all types of soil ( acidic and alkaline) within 21 days of application and it helps to generate earthworm population in the soil up to 4 lakh in one acre of land in just six months.
2. All biodegradable materials like agro waste, animal waste, kitchen waste, city organic waste decomposes in 40 days.
3. Seed treatment with waste decomposer shows 98% early and uniform germination and provides protection before sidling emergence.
4. Foliar spray with waste decomposer controls all types of bacterial, fungal and viral diseases effectively in different crops.
5. Farmers can do farming with the use of waste decomposer without using chemical fertilizer and pesticides. There is no need of urea, DAP or MOP when waste decomposer is applied.
6. Waste decomposer application eliminate up to 90% uses of all types of pesticides/fungicide/insecticide since it controls both root diseases and shoots diseases.
Note: we didn't used Waste decomposer in our farm "ABCD farming". We will update our feedback soon.
You can get Waste Decompser at the below address. By messenger or in person...! Cost per bottle is RS.20

Clay based refrigerator to store vegetables

  This article is about clay based cold storage to store your vegetables which are grown in your kitchen Gardens.

Some of the forgotten ways to store vegetables long time, without using electricity are given below.

1. Zeer pot
2. Underground storage.
3. Evaporative cooling.
4. Stream cooling.
5. The ice box.

Every method has its own advantages and disadvantages depending on the location and climate conditions.

And in this article, Let us know about zeer pot which is economical and suitable for major locations. Zeer pot is commonly called Pot-in-Pot refrigerator. The Zeer pot or clay pot cooler is an evaporative cooling refrigeration device which does not use electricity. It uses a porous outer clay pot containing an inner pot within which the food is placed. The evaporation of the outer liquid draws heat from the inner pot. Do you believe that Tomatoes and Peppers stored in Zeer pot, lasts up to three weeks.

Tools and materials required to build Zeer pot or Pot-in-Pot refrigerator.

• Two clay pots, one larger than the other.
• Sand
• Water
• Cloth to cover the pots.
• Clay, cork or other material to plug holes in the pots if they have them.
• Thermometer (optional to measure temperature).



Guide to build Zeer pot or Pot-in-Pot refrigerator

1. The smaller pot should fit inside the larger one with a space of one to three centimeters. If the pots have holes in the bottoms, as flower pots usually do, plug them with clay, cork or some other suitable substance. This prevents the sand from running out of the larger pot and keeps water from flowing into the inner pot.

2. Put a small amount of sand into the larger pot. The layer should be thick enough so thatw when you put the small pot inside the larger one, the tops of the two pots are at the same level.

3. Fill the space between the pots with sand.

4. Pour water on the sand until it can absorb no more.

5. Dampen the cloth and cover the inner pot.

6. Use a thermometer to check the temperature inside and outside the pot every few minutes and keep track of your results.

Note: Do not use glazed pots. The glaze forms a glass-like surface on the surface of the pot. This would seal the water inside the pot and prevent it from evaporating.Hence use unglazed pots.

Farm video with seeds available for swap

Today would like to share our farm pics integrated with video. In the lockdown time, listening to bird sounds, bird 🐦 watching was a marvelous experience.

In the video given below are some pics of vegetables and seeds are available for swap. For enquiry on seed swap, you can contact us.


The background sound of birds chirping is uncopyrighted one downloaded. I hear birds chirping in my farm, but I would not  able to record them. Listening to nature is stunning experience which I would not express in words. #lockdownlife
