Pomegranate

This is one of the experimental plants for us since it has started flowering but not other signs of fruiting. The flowers simply falls off every time it flowers.

It was planted about 2 years ago. As fertilizer cow dung and bone meal were used in a ratio of  70:30. Now it has grown about 4 feet height. 

Will update once we figure out on its fruiting pattern.

Guava

This one was planted ova er an year ago and has started fruiting after since from then. there are many varieties of them. Its green apple guava. we used organic fertilizers and they are cow dung and coco peat. for planting, make a pit deep enough for the root to cover, that is about 3 inch max. mix the mud with coco peat and cow dung for planting. water lightly everyday till it starts growing taller and branching. Once it starts fruiting cover each of them with any plastic covers to save them from birds around. This also helps in ripening of the fruit  faster.

This fruit is also a pricy one in cities.It doesn't much area of the land ad the roots doesn't grow wider. This tree lives bearing fruits for about 40 years.

Tip: Its a wonderful fruit to be fed to babies from 6 months of age. Cut the ripened fruit in to two halves and scrape it with spoon to feed babies to make it swallowable.  Avoid giving seeds initially though.

Rambutan

This is a fruit that taste like leechi.its again a very pricey fruit.
we got a baby plant from one of the nurseries. we usually get the plants from agricultural authority organized nurseries. As always took a 5 inch deep pit, make it ready by adding some cow dung and any organic frtilizers available. Mix the mud to be planted well adding some water( depending on the soil).now plant it and the cover the pit well.water it lightly for a few days. Its been about  8 months since planted it.

Now its always better to not let it grow very tall cause once it grows too tall, plucking the fruit and saving it from birds are very difficult. In order to maintain the tree short you need to slightly pull the branch downwards by tying with a coir rope to a heavy stone. Keep doing this for every branch.
As an organic fertilizer you can always use cocopeat other wise known as coir dust.Its made from coconut husks.

Brinjal (Green)

Now, this one doesn't need much maintenance. Its been about an year since we planted. we started collecting brinjals from the plants after 2 months. I don't remember how many times we have collected them cause it keeps yielding one after another.


Plough the land well for planting a plant or a seedling. Mix the soil in the area to be planted with cow dung. plant it. start sprinkling water every day. All that you need to do now is to plough the land well once in while after the plant is well grown. Cow dung makes the crops to grow in better sizes.


Tip:  There are many varieties of brinjal dishes to serve with chapattis or with rice.
