Farm update 22 May, 2014

1.    Workers issue is not that bad.  The two new workers seems to have realized their moral responsibility. I understand they are coming at 7.45 AM itself. After all villagers are still holding the tradition of giving a word and abiding by it irrespective of their circumstances. They feel proud about their commitment.  That is what keeps the pulse alive and our job interesting.

2.  Manure to enrich the soil has been ordered. A Kg of vermi compost costs around 10/- and a truck of cow dung around 2300/-. Perhaps it may be further competitive outside, but the source from where I am buying would use the money to run a cow shelter aka Goshala. We need to find a transport to bring them to farm.

3.  The Wind Mill is finally on its way through a cargo mover. It has left Mumbai today and should travel around 1600 Kms before reaching the destination - Our Farm.

The parts are given a liberal coat of red oxide followed by few layers of paint spray. They are carefully packed in special containers for rough handling. Everything has come out green in color as I have envisaged.

Guys at ABS are very friendly especially Chaitanya. Some of the delays were beyond their control. Delays in past two weeks were due to packing person on vacation and non-availability of carrier with less hops to transport.

4. Subbu has been sent to nearby town to fetch coconut waste fibers. This will be used for mulching and adding fibre content to the soil.
