There is no electricity at our farm. Laptops run on battery, lanterns on kerosene. Food is basic. The house is made of earth.Egg-tray smoke is the the mosquito repellant. Fireflies & cricket are our evening companions. Rogue elephants threaten our life often. Mobile phones dont work when you want the most. Welcome to Bhoomi Life!

Grow vegetables in air. Seriously!
7 minutes past 2 in the night, is the time on my laptop clock.
The world is sleeping.
Some are dreaming.
Some are dreaming but not sleeping.
Like me...
Tonight, I feel very energised. I feel we are almost on the verge of breaking the shackles that has been holding us back. The week is critical for a few big decisions.
By the way, you would have always known that plants grow in soil; some of you may be aware that plants can be grown in just water, called hydroponics. Here is a brain twister for you - plants can be grown in just air too! Yes, I am not bullshitting!
It is called aeroponics. New Age Farms in north America has demonstrated the reality of it. Google it and you will see them. NASA has already tested the entire process of growing beans in just air, without gravity, inside the Mir space station and it is critical if man has to settle in Moon or Mars, as none of these places have soil.
Think about it. Read about it. Dream of it,if you will.
Good morning folks!
