Organic Farming and Aquaponics in Ollur Kerala


Organic farming is catching up everywhere and so is in Kerala. The dumping of toxic and pesticide laden fruits and vegetables to Kerala market from the neighboring states have woken up the Malayalis. I am doing my share of helping my family to avoid such unhealthy and disease causing diet. Here is my Paduthakulam where I rear GIFT Tilapia and also cultivate vegetables near to it so that I can use the Nitrogen rich water in the pond to water the veggies. Also seen is organically grown Mint in the pond in a styrofoam box. The Mint automatically gets water and nitrogen from the pond. No need of soil to grow.
