Subbu has decided we dig the sweet potato out and sell. The last watering was done last week. It is more or less ready and we cannot waste more water on it. The issue is we have to generously pour water which gets absorbed in trenches before even it reaches the far end. The land is asking for better method of watering - perhaps drip irrigation. But that is later.
Now having decided, let's get into action. Today the potato wines are to be cleared and put into the new empty compost tank that is waiting. (Well this is the first feed for even that, a sort of inauguration and demonstration of farm waste recycling). Tomorrow the sweet potato will be dug using tracktor. He said manual labour is costly. I still insisted him to call few labo]ur where possible and rest get done with tractor.
After harvest, the sweet potato need not be washed. Just dust off and fill in the sack. It will be taken to Tirunelveli Market this time. want to observe what rate we get and how this whole thing works.
I am still not ready to hunt for Organic buyers. I need to work on my contacts, website and so on before promising someone of continuous supply.
Presently the work on hand.........
