About My Edible Backyard

Why Shankar Love's Edible Plants

iam a farmer in South india, Bangalore

we have a tropical soil which is well drained

20 cms

very dry and arid

irrigating my orchard is a big challenge but controlling the pests and diseases is a even bigger challenge

i get no rewards, i only make lossess because the crop i get and sell is not bought at a fair price it deserves
