Dear All,

Last year, I have grown Dhaincha and Sunnhemp and rotovated it to improve the soil fertility. The farm is of 4 acres and is near Hubli ( North Karnataka)
Request the advice of the community in order to proceed further.
What can be grown for natural or live fencing?
And Can Papaya be grown depending only on rainfall in the region of Hubli ( North Karnataka).

Any other suggestion to start of with is most welcome.

Thanks,
Vijay

Do you have issues related to cattle or human tress passing?
If yes, immediate natural or live fencing is not viable. You should first fence and then develop natural or live fencing.
If no, go for kiluvai fencing, bamboo fencing etc.

I understand you do not have water source from your query. If my understanding is correct, I suggest you to grow moringa which will grow easily with rainfall itself.

HARAYENAMAHA,
You can plant either subhabul or Agasse in close distance. This can be used for any future Live stock farming. All along the fence you can plant the latest tissue culture Bombisa( Bamboo) variety. This will give more oxygen and be a money crop after 5 years…
I am based in a nearby HESSARGHATTA, BANGALORE.

Thank you everyone for your quick and valuable suggestion. :slight_smile: I would try to further research and build a plan considering the suggestions and post it here.

And another query that I have is - Whether papaya and turmeric be grown by depending only on rainfall? Request the community members to shed some light on this as I’m planning to use 2 acres for this now in this year.

@padmanabhan_ganesan - Sir , as of now there are no issues related to cattle or human trespassing. Also there is no water source at present apart from rainfall.

Once again Thank you all for your suggestions and wishes.

Thanks,
Vijay

Those two are great for hot climates, especially if you give them enough love and water. Plus, they’ll thrive if you can provide enough rainfall. It’s gonna be hard work but absolutely doable!
