Farm Trail

Oct 3, 2015

Few students from the club were lucky to visit Annadana and understand farming and seed preservation,while having fun.Low cost farming aids like biodigestor,vermicompost,pest control (by placing a phermone attractor that traps female insects that damage crops) were explained by the resource persons - Ms.Prithi,Ms.Sudha and Ms.Padma.Raised beds,transplantation,green manure were also explained in detail.Students watched videos on seed biodiversity and the significance of conserving seeds.It was an enriching experience.
Annadana provides cottage facilities to stay and learn farming essentials,kitchen gardening,organic culinary and workshops on specific topics of interest.Please see : http://annadana-india.org/
and http://www.soilandsoul.in/ for interesting and fun ways to explore and learn a lot about Nature.
