Hello friends.....

Fresh milk and sorry i could not capture the picture of cow's urine as my cam  had no charge

Took 2 kg of jaggery and broke it into pieces with hammer.

Then in a large vessel took the tender coconut water and smashed the banana in this. 

Then added the jaggery too in this mixture and mixed well These provides nutrient to the microbes and enhance the growth. Then added the above mix in the cow dung gee mix.


At last added 2 teaspoon full of dry yeast. again enhances the growth.

 All the ingredients are added now and stirred thoroughly for at-least 15 minutes.  

Then stir the panghagavya every day in morning and evening minimum 50 times clock wise and 50 times anti-clock wise for proper aeration. that will enhance the growth of microbes.

stirring process twice daily 

On 16th day panchagavya is ready to use. We can take 20 to 30 ml of panchagavya and mix with 1 liter of water and apply to soil or can spray on leaves... but before spraying should filter the mixture.

Now Our plants are eagerly waiting for their nutrient rich food. 

Till then happy gardening :)

KITCHEN WASTE COMPOSTER

Hello dear ones.... 
Its been long time i took my crochet hooks.... but i'm busy with some other interesting things.... Yes... i'm busy with my gardening and my mind is dwelling around this all the time.... i'm  gardening (a small balcony garden) for more than 3 years I've learnt lot of do's and don'ts in this after killing many plants.. But with the help of my neighbor i learnt many things... thanks to her... still learning... 
     All my plants are in pots... plastic cans and some buckets... as i have to carry these things when we construct our own house {don't know when :(} my plants  badly in need of some nutrients to my garden... i'm not interested in chemicals so i searched about composting... although I've already done it earlier as trial I need the proper method. Then I got to know about the panchagavya and the kitchen waste composter. I got a tamil video on panchagavya soon i'm going to make it with the help of my neighbour.... then the much more interesting fact KAMBHA the kitchen waste composter from DAILY DUMP.. 
     After reading about the kambha carefully i made my own kambha with the waste pots in my home.... as it will take a very loooong time if i want to buy one more than that i'm very much interested in recycling... 

my own kitchen waste composter with top pot A and bottom pot B

for aeration i made holes in pot B

top pot A with holes in the bottom

pot A on pot B 

dry leaves in bottom pot B

I made holes using this tool and the stone near that

Also i have tried planting the rose shoots in this small piece of land in side of our house... first time planting in the land other than pots etc,. Daily i'm praying for this one to produce root.

     who ever likes gardening will definitely like this kambha... these daily dump website has many informative things regarding composting... I this this post will be useful to all gardeners. meet you in my next post probably with crocheting...
until then have a happy week
