Registered on April 15th 2010. It took us 9 months to get the fencing done!!! Finally we got the fencing done on November 27th 2010 after 4 surveys and numerous discussions with neighbors!! It's been a great laerning so far to get to know the process. I feel it's the price we are paying for leaving our ancestor's occupation and running towards city for better(?) life style. But it's worth learning and getting back to the roots...
Right now we have some land which is fenced and ready to be cultivated...so there'll be more updates coming on the way...

We planted 1000 G9 banana and the experiment begins :-) We are still with the conventional technique of using NPK as and when needed and lot of ploughing is going on to keep it clean.

We are trying our luck with Corn in the remaining area. Around 2 acres. No fertilizer and ploughing done due to vairous issues :-)

We missed the fertilizer cycle by a big way no nourishment to plants till 120 days !! due to labour problem :-(.
Finally we found a person who is looking into the day to day affairs. We gave the first dose of fertilizer on 02/10/2011 and second on 06/11/2011.
So far the plants are coming up fine and have had few issues with Sigatoka and we religiously applied Bavistine :-)
Today we are going with our plan which was long due to get the teak sapplings planted. Digging is going on for our second set of banana(we are planning for Elakki Banana this time) and also thelong term trees long the boundary. Hopefully we will get this done this week and the farm would get some look with 1200 more plants.
