In order to increase the skills of our organic farming team, five of us visited the organic farm at Bir run by Spero Lacthis, our homeopathic outreach clinic doctor. We were full of curiosity and enthusiasm as we were shown the fields made in small circles surrounded by water channels, so that in the rainy season water can’t waterlog the plot and in summer water can seep into the fields. The channels stop insects from reaching the plants and the circular plots are easy to work.
We saw Spero’s very effective composting pits which we are emulating on our Nishtha farm and learned about micro organisms, looking at samples of clay and compost under the microscope learning to identify good and bad bacteria and fungus with the help of a chart.
