Howgir-ji has been growing food using natural and organic methods for the past 11 years. He grows rice, mangoes, jowar, maize and some dals.
He uses only natural fertilisers and sprays for his crops. (e.g., crushing neem leaves and soaking them in boiling water and using that extract). He also uses a cover crop called Dhaincha (Jeeluga in Telugu) to increase soil fertility. Once the Dhaincha grows, he tills it into the soil to provide it with a rich boost of nutrients.
He has 40 acres of which he is cultivating 10 acres. His big challenges are water and labour. He wants to bring more area under cultivation if he is assured of a good market that provides him with fair prices for his produce.
