Fruit trees are so soothing to look at. I have Jackfruit Trees, Mango, Litchi and few more trees in my Indian home, along with 40-50 odd Teak, Sirish and kadam tree.

Thanks for sharing your initiative for a better world

Please allow me some questions, remarks:

- Trees in pictures all old, did you transplant them, or I'm missing something.

- What issues, challenges did you faced with watering, new plants needs a lot of water until their roots are well established in the soil

- Why you didn't planted Neem trees: Azadirachta indica, fast growing trees, they are great for shading and you can use their leaves and seeds to make natural insecticides.

- Try to mulch the maximum of area around newly planted trees, with leaves or wood chips, less watering and less weeds.

- Before planting, try to incorporate in the holes some activated charcoal 10%, pottery 2% and compost 5%. This will add the water retention of your soil and a media for the micro-organismes.

- If Sea is close to your area, try to water with 5-10% sea water, you will get all the minerals needed.


I can get give hundred of advices, don't hesitate to ask if you need any insights.

Again great initiative, and keep the good work

I have planted more than 150 mango trees, 25+Litchies, 10 teak wood trees , 25+ jacj fruit trees etc. Along with lot more which I will post later on.

Yes, they are the trees we had planted on both sides of road earlier. Other big trees were there since bigining.

What issues, challenges did you faced with watering, new plants needs a lot of water until their roots are well established in the soil

We have a sewage treatmdnt plant. We use the water of same to water the tree. With that water, trees grow very fast.

Why you didn't planted Neem trees: Azadirachta indica, fast growing trees, they are great for shading and you can use their leaves and seeds to make natural insecticides.

We have lots of neem trees planted from the begining. We planted lot more. We planted many banyan trees, pipal etc.

Try to mulch the maximum of area around newly planted trees, with leaves or wood chips, less watering and less weeds

Buying mulching material is costly. We use vegetation waste we collect to mulch the soil. Sloely, land is getting covered.

Before planting, try to incorporate in the holes some activated charcoal 10%, pottery 2% and compost 5%. This will add the water retention of your soil and a media for the micro-organismes

We planted tress by adding compost, sugar can baggas, gress etc.

If Sea is close to your area, try to water with 5-10% sea water, you will get all the minerals needed.

We generally use sawage water only.

@Surya 1 you have done a wonderful thing for your community and your planet.

The jingoism and chest beating of a defence forum aside - I have a lot of respect for you for doing this. May you be rewarded for it in this life and the next.

@CriticalThought
I know you once said that world is not fair and these multinational corporations are milking tons of money so why they would reform Pakistan with a good will.

DAWn article is a difficult to understand for me as idk abc of economics. However, in our old discussion in charter of democracy thread, we know that our economy is informal, so taxing is low. Plus, our 70% economy is consumer based economy with little or no export potential.

The power tariffs the articles talked about is highly dependent on oil price. Unless they are diversified, we have to rely on tariff. Anyway, the article didn't talk about solution.

I think we have to cut number of ministries, judges pay with more austerity measurement. I know that their high pays are there, so that they don't look for bribes. As still they do, so reduce their halal income, anyway.

Article also mentioned about more exports. Besides, FDI, we have to support SMEs. Why? bcz we cannot setup large plants and run on our own. The govt/think tank look for small manufactured goods potential in neighbouring regions and support SMEs towards that.

Examples can be, many like more of our food products like chocolates/energy bars/jams/cereals/cheese (already but more).

I was thinking that our govt should convince gulf towards greener solution, for their own publicity, acknowledgement and praise.

Like bamboo straws, coconut shells bowls, coconut husk dish scrubbers, bamboo toothbrush, etc. For world appraisal, UAE would quickly adopt it.

Thank you very much ftiend for your your motivational words. Actually, I had planned to start a very beautiful thread named " How to develop Pakistan/ sub continent counteries very fast with basic economic activities, innovations and huge employment generation" Or something similar. In that, I had planned to discuss some great reformatory models which has changed the rural economy and gdnerated lots of Prosperity and bought back migrated people to villages. How Anna Hazare has transformed his village is a classical example. However, with frequent frequent long duration bans, I dropped the idea of opening such thread.

These small measures if taken can revolutionized rural economy. In one my article to make India 10 tr economy in 10 years, I had extensively discuss the bsmboo based economic model which has the potential to meet lots of basic needs of human beings such as housing, fuel, pollution elemination food etc. One I posted here the same on request of web master.

Why I love any country's GDP to grow more with contribution from agriculture rather than manufacturing and services is that it produes lot more employment, brings basic things to humanity such as food and makes this world more beautiful.

These are good but they are in pieces. My idea was to discuss a comprehensive economic model which can transform the lives of bottom most people of income pyramid. It will focus on water conservation, jungle development, agriculture reform with organic farming etc. The most beautiful part of this model is that it can make a human being's life very easy, tension free and enjoyable free from envy and immoral means to survive.

Story ahead.....

Now we had received big quantity of bio mass and Jivamrut material, next issue was to select and arrange the trees. I had some friends who are plantation enthust. Ghey guided me to how to get variety of plants cheaply from different nurseries. I started visiting different government nurseries and found that excellent plants are available between Rs 5 to Rs 20. This was damn cheap. I started making the list of trees which are native in nature generally and which are available nearby. We could identify some 37 spices which includes Neem, pipal, banyan tree, ashok tree, gaua tree, custard apple, gooseberry , pomegranate, Harde, Baheda, sevan, borsalli, kesuda, garmala, paltro farm, Rayan, karanj, borsalli, badam, mango trees, Litchi, cherry, jambun, bilva patra, bamboo, Champa, sandal wood tree, sevan Banagli baval , Karen, jasood, Tulsi etc. Actually, we had selected saru and Nilgir as well but my experienced friends advised me not to plant this two trees as they sucks too much of nutritions and spoil the trees. We decided not to exclude these 2 trees.

Some amazing work Surya. I was gonna ask about Govt nurseries because recently i found out that they provide plants and saplings in dirt cheap prices.

If you can manage, try to do the bee farming in that land as well. It will create a revenue for the company and it will also help to protect bees from environment pollution.

No, we can't do that in company but recrntly, a big development happened. There is a big shutdown in reliance. Few guys came searching for residance. They were so impressed to see our colony that 3 parties in total demanded 65+65+40 = 170 flats for 3 months. We did not have that much flats empty. Slowly, our campus is becoming so beautiful that people will prefer to stay there instead of any good hotel. It is becoming like resort.

Now we had received lots of plants around 1000. We put it on a place platform we had built for making cabin. We ensure that plants are watered every day. We started planting Tulsi trees around the temple. We had planned to plant, flowering trees, trees sacred such as Tulsi Bilva patra , Sandal wood, Amala (goose berrt) etc. To shadow the temple to prevent it from heating, we decided to plant some big trees which will shadow the temple in east and west direction. We planted Neem tree. Pipal tree, Banyan tree (We planted them later on as these trees were not available initially. People had planted lots of Pipal trees because of Corona) etc. We planted some mango trees as well. In flowering trees, we planted champa, Jasud, karen etc. Soon temple surrounding became full of fragrance of Tulsi with 250 Tulsi trees planted around the temple. As we had purchased plants with low rates, they were small in size and took some time to grow.

The next zone was outside this zone where we planted Sacred trees and flowering trees. In this zone, we planted medicinal plants such as Harade, Baheda , Amala, Patthar chatta, Shri parni etc. . Tulsi, Bilva patra, neem etc have medicinal properties but they were planted in temple zone. I had a plan to planta Arjun tree, Aradusi but we could not get the plant. They are planned this year. We planted Bamboo trees on the border of our plantation. This is how we planted first and second zone of plant. Next was to make orchid plant with some wood and other plants.

 

[Surya 1]

We planted around 250 tulsi trees near temple in Zone 1. We planted flowering trees just outside first zone along with some big trees like neem, mango, karanj , bilva patra etc to shaddow the temple in heat. Just outside that, we planted medicinal plants such as Harde , baheda, Amala etc. Arjun, Aradusi, Asidro etc are planned this year along with some coconut trees.

Now after completing zone 2, we started planting fruit trees and some other timber trees in open plot infront of the temple. We planted mango trees, custerd apple, guava trees, pomegranate trees etc. We planted neem, pipal, baniyan tree on the periphery. Along with fruit trees , we planted timber trees like sevan, Bangali baval etc. We planted karanj, borsalli, rayan etc. On one road side of the plot, we planted Asopalav trees in straight line on both the side. In this plot of about 1 acre, we completed plantation this way in 8FtX8ft distance.
