Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Suggestions invited: Some one I know has some agri land near Bangalore, not too far off Nice Road, and with good access. The land is ready for use, and has red soil. Fenced, but a water source will have to be arranged. Can this be used for shard farming ? Divide it into small plots, and each person utilizes the number of plots he wants to. Costs & harvest of the individual plot will be with the respective person, A monthly rental + share of cost on common infra to be borne by each May be a small refundable deposit to take care of the setup being done. Note: Local labor cannot be depended on. The person has to put in his own effort in his plot of use Watchman will be there for overall 'watching' What do you guys think ? Is it feasible ? If yes, how can it be structured ? Must remember that initial setup can take some time, and even veggies can take time between 4 weeks to 4 months. Hence one must be ready for an initial gestation period. |

P.S: even as a hobby you need good water source, borewells can get very expensive in Bangalore and may run out of water in a year of two. Another issue could be utilisation of the produce. Every year we grow veggies at our home, everyone likes them initially but you get fed up if the produce is surplus and then give it relatives/friends. May not be the case with grains but that would be labour intensive crops. I feel a nursery might work out better than farming. Last edited by PrideRed : 9th January 2020 at 13:31. | |

You completely missed the point looks like. If the intention were to be economical then the land would have been leased out to one person. And I have mentioned "shared" and the additional points also indicate the same. Also there are people who are thinking of doing something for themselves but dont have access to agri land. |

| ![]() Hey Guys, So glad I ran into this thread. Has anyone of you or your acquaintances practiced permaculture before? We have a small plot in Haryana which has kinoow and orange fruit trees. I plan to start vegetable farming on the farmland using Permaculture principles. Any input will be highly appreciated. Thanks |

You may like to check with Ms Manisha Gupta she runs Aanandaa Permaculture Farm close to Panchkula. They have a nice fb page, you will get the details from there. |

| ![]() Hi thanks PGA, Thanks for your prompt reply. Am aware of Aananda farm.They have done some spectacular transformation on their farm . Was looking at some more farms like Aananda on a somewhat smaller scale. ( I should have mentioned that earlier) Our land is quite small around 2 acres which includes a house and orchards so was looking at a smaller enterprise maybe. Additionally we are planning to open up a Goat farm ( in a separate leased land ) . Any leads on that front too please? Thanks |

| ![]() Anyone into floriculture here ? I'm mainly curious to know how plant nurseries and the farms they source from are able to get plants with such an abundance of flowers from small plants so easily ? I'm sure they spray done hormones or use fertilizer in some different way. I would like to try it out. Any tips or should I try the gardening thread. Obviously strong sunlight i know about but what other tricks are employed |

However, my question is - what exactly do you want from floral plants ? | |

Could you shed some light on legalities of converting a farm into a private limited company? What happens to the ownership of the land, does it become company land or is the company limited to the business part? Can a company own agricultural land? Are plantations an exception? Any links to literature on the subject will be highly appreciated. Regards, Malhi | |
