Posted in Experiments on 25. Jan, 2011
Pump-house getting ready
The pump-house is being worked on this week. The pump-has been bought – it is a 1.5HP Villers kerosene pump. The pump-house will have a cover and a door that will help us lock up the pump so we don’t ave to move it back and forth.
Crimson tide.... Tambadi Bhaji growing great guns
The tambadi bhaji (red amaranth) is doing really well, although we seem to have planted it too close together. We can expect a LOT of this in the coming weeks.
Aphid attack on the cluster beans plant
We noticed that the cluster beans plant seems to have attracted aphids. Miguel suggested we use Vikarsha (made from fermented leaf-extracts) as a pest repellent to keep these nasty fellows out.
