Yes, its me only with that long hair. Thanks to my Parents. It was their dezire to grow my hair from childhood. To be honest, it is my virgin hair. I hadnt taken any hair cut or went headshaving since birth.

For a girl, her hair means a lot. Let it be short or long, straight or curly, smooth or frizzy, etc. It forms atleast 50% of a women's beauty. Timely care is needed throughout lifetime to maintain its growth.

I am here to insist you to put your shampoos, hair creme, conditioners, hairgels and other stuff that the market lures you to - into the trash. Stay tuned and get a hands-on lively experience on various *Natural Home Remedies* for strong beautiful hair.

Who on earth won’t mind to have a sip of passion fruit juice to quench your thirst in this summer? Oh ohh I know this is a premier juice which you have to get  from the market. But as I mentioned in my earlier posts passion fruit juices for sale doesn’t guarantee the actual nutrient. But at home you can have your own tray of passion fruits :).

Organic farming is the manthra.

MY SETUP

1) Washing machine drum - this reusable part can be a very functional planter because of the large area it provides for planting.

2) Used plastic fasteners for strings - being a climber, this helps a lot in its growth

3) Used fish nets - supports the climber to spread over an area and bear fruits spaciously

The reverse order of the pictures depicts the different stages of growth of the passion fruit plants at my home. I have also planted a few of them on the ground, that too has given a good yield.

PS: Passion fruit helps in improving immunity and its leaves are good for diabetes.

VIDEO - WASTE PAPER POTTING

[tinytott]

Having built a house in a 6 cents compound, I have resorted to rooftop farming. As the picture says, growing Elephant yams organically have always yielded surprising results that is ample for our home consumption as well as for economizing by selling it in the market. It is a very cost-effective but high yielding farming that anyone can devote to.

I have used the following recycled materials for growing the variety.

Used tyres - Carved & inverted

Used paint & chemical cans & buckets - holes drilled around the lower and upper side

Organic Potting mixture Do-It-Yourself

Coir Pith + alluvial soil (obtained every year after flood) + Pseudomonas (aerobic bacteria)

While preparing the above mixture, Alluvial soil is mixed with lime and moistened to produce intense  heat, that will kill all other germinating unwanted seeds and also to reduce the acidity of the soil.

Dried cowdung is also mixed.

Later cover the entire mixture with dried and fresh leaves for preventing the moisture on top of the pot escape due to the warm and humid weather.

Wondering what’s cooking for the next few days???  How many of us can guarantee that the fruits & vegetables we buy from stores and market is fresh and of good quality? Apparently none . Its ok because this is how the market rolls, but not at the stake of our health. I would say, if you wanna live another 50 years or more, you should take this seriously. Keep your grocery bags away and step out of your house and observe the idle space around your house. Every nook & corner of your premises can be a  dwelling place for your own FRESH HOME GROWN plants. Limited ground space? then move to rooftop. Not interested in spending money on pots? take your unused cans, buckets or even tyres.

In the upcoming days, you will be loaded with some easy organic farming techniques, rooftop farming, plant without a pot etc.So get ready with your gloves on, its time to have a good harvest! :)

Its not late even now to pull up your socks and live a calm, peaceful life engrossed in creating an ecosystem.
