olla

Cost Effective Solution to save Coconut trees during forth coming water scarcity months due to El Niño : Olla Irrigation - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Droughts. 🏺 Echoes of Ancient Clay pot Irrigation Long before the term olla entered agricultural vocabulary, ancient Tamil farmers practiced remarkably similar methods. In Sangam‑era Tamilakam, clay vessels called “ māṇ paṇai ” or “kulam paṇai” were used to store and seep water near tree roots - especially for coconut, banana, and areca palms.   These pots were often placed in earthen basins (thottam) lined with coir, husk, and leaf mulch, creating a natural moisture‑retention system. Inscriptions and temple garden records from regions like Pollachi, Thanjavur, and Madurai mention such paṇai neer vaḻi (pot‑water channels) as part of sustainable irrigation networks.  This continuity of wisdom - from ancient Tamil pot irrigation to modern olla systems -  shows how indigenous knowledge can guide regenerative farming in the...

EARTH DAY2020Message

Health is Wealth - is the important message on this 50th EARTH Day - April 22nd, 2020.


I have been writing this blog more than 10 years now with various Environmental articles. The key to live sustainably is to eradicate greed. Living sustainably without polluting will improve Air, Water and Land (where our food is grown) and will provide good quality of healthy life. When we live in polluted environment, we pay a price that is very severe and it damages a very important aspect of health - our great Immune System. When pathogens attack already pollution damaged bodies, it is really hard for weakened immune system and our bodies give up the fight. But if we breathe unpolluted air, drink uncontaminated water and eat artificial chemical free food, our immune system builds up automatically and are ready to fight the Pathogens and even more with help from great medical practitioners. 

It is very important to follow very good life essentials to live a quality healthy life. These aspects should be followed from very young age and in the long run it will surely help. Also never put any harmful chemical in your fragile body such as alcohol, smoke or any controlled drug substances. Along with these essentials, simple exercising such as walking, chewing and eating proper quantity of quality food, laughing and practicing relaxing meditation will increase your body's fighting capacity against dreadful pathogens. 

EAFARMS - We are involved in sustainable projects - practicing agriculture by working with nature. 
                                       

Similarly you can practice sustainable living methods, growing plants and trees, practicing healthy living methods, mimicking nature and following environmental friendly methods. Take these steps and together we can live quality healthy life along with our co-inhabitants in this great EARTH. 



This is the key message on this 50th Earth Day - April 22nd 2020 -
Earth has taught us a hard lesson to learn after being stretched to it's full potential against its pollution capacity and now it is recovering. Please learn from this and eradicate greed, live sustainably -  please take this pledge from this Earth day.. 

LIVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY QUALITY HEALTHY LIFE - HEALTH IS WEALTH.

As deforestation is occurring in the name of development especially road expansions all over World,  it is very important to plant more and more trees to green the environment. Trees are very important for the environment.  They not only provide important oxygen but also are very important for rainfall for the areas they are in, apart from so many other benefits. Every one knows it is one of the important tool to fight the human induced climate change as it acts as great carbon sink. In India, Great Dr. Kalam envisioned the importance of trees, persuaded many to plant as many trees as one can. Recently, I had privilege to communicate with many volunteers, who want to plant as many trees as they can to reap the benefits, especially by the future generations.
