Further Greening the Farm

Yesterday the following saplings were purchased from Ramji Nursary, Nagarcoil as planned.. Total cost was around Rs. 5000/- for the nursery.  For lorry it would be around Rs. 2500/- from Nagarcoil to Nachankulam both ways.  With this load the farm will become further green, with diverse species like a botanical garden.

Purchase From Ramji Nursary, Nagarcoil
1. Around 4 varities of Coconut = 35 saplings each costing around RS. 80/-.  This consists of Red, Green coconut, Nattu (Country) coconut and kuttai-nettai.
2. 20 Sapota trees
3. 10 Jasmine plants, totalling now around 40 (30 purchased already 2 days back from Valliyoor)
4. Amla, koyya, pomagranate, rose and others. I asked Subbu to buy as many varieties as possible.  Last year whatever we brought has grown well, though there was hardship in maintaining it during peak summer.

Purchase From neighbouring farm
Country Banana (Nattu Ragam) roots around 200 Nos.  It costs Rs. 3/- per root for dressing and another Rs. 2/- for transport etc.

Ground Preparation
The tracktor work is completed for the 2nd day. Two field beds have been carved. Tomorrow onwards some manual work is there for which labours will be called for transplanting.
