Selection of First batch of plants for fence


The following are the plants that I have selected for my Farm - first to go inside the fence.  The idea is to ;
  1. Create a first level defence using bougainvillea  (Kakitha poo) supporting the wire fence. By the time the still wire mesh will rust away in 3 years, this thorny bush should takeover.
  2. 2nd level plants like Marudani to grow into thick foilage.  Consists of two parts.  Flowering ones like Arali facing the road side. Useful ones like Kodukapuli on other sides.
  3. Third level trees at 10 feet each. They can be flowering trees like Gulmohar on road side and useful ones like Neem at other sides.
The prices quoted are actuals from a nursary to give an idea of what is the expenditure outlay. Add Rs. 1500/- for lorry rent, loading and unloading with lunch.  Some of the plants quoted here are much more than the market rate of  saplings that are generally sold in a nursary. That is because, these are well grown plans, sometimes with the large pots, which we brought out as the nursary offered them without any choice.
