I have designed a stand(sturdy,iron) and fitted rings of about 1 foot diameter (3) in 3 layers. There is enough space between the rings horizontally Dr.A.Jagadeeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566733632406860134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29462524.post-56663693635741901702012-11-04T09:17:40.616-05:002012-11-04T09:17:40.616-05:00Thanks Brahmanyan,

When I visited Mela Poodanur near Tiruvarur (Tanjavur area) in Tamil Nadu, I saw my relatives using Paddy seeding Machines from Japan for planting.I am told these machines can plant seedlings one acre per hour. The Agricultural department of Tamil Nadu gives all assistance for mechanise forming in view of large scale migration of farm labourers to cities.Brahmanyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299122535184126773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29462524.post-30598890686210780572012-10-25T08:04:05.824-04:002012-10-25T08:04:05.824-04:00Thanks HK..

But then ...This concept of farming was a new info!<br /><br />But then one has to change with times and forgo taste one acquired. Atleast one shall not starve. If everything can be cultivated even in a big city, why not.<br />Here in Kuwait there is the "living" wall in one of the shopping malls. Variety of ferns and such other plants grow on a very high wall.

I find a little obstinacy in your psyche when you say you can not return to the simple life at Pallavur. Incidentally I wanted to visit your village but could not recollect the name while I was in Kerala. P.N.

Yes, many things are likley to disappear in the years to come like newspapers, books, music, privacy,landline, CHEQUE books, etc . My only hope is that we (human beings) do not destroy all those forests and wild animals that are left now.<br />Life in 2050 will be definitely much more different as you have explained and tolifetolifelachaimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536883639943100340noreply@blogger.com
