Amla & Amla Berry Germination ,Growing ,Care, Use and its Surprising Health Benefits.



Embelica Officinalis, known as Amla or Indian Gooseberry or Nelli is an important fruit with high medicinal value. The fruits have the richest source of vitamin-C and are considered to be a good liver tonic.


POSITION:

Plant Amla tree in a location that is less windy and sunny. The well-draining and sloppy position are good for its growth.
SOIL:

Well-drained, loamy to light heavy soil that is deep and rich in organic matter is required for growing amla tree. A pH level can be between slightly acidic to slightly alkaline. The waterlogged and clay-rich soil is detrimental and must be avoided, same is the case with too sandy soils.

CLIMATE:
It is a tropical plant. The annual rainfall of 630-800 mm is ideal for its growth. The young plant up to the age of 3 years should be protected from hot wind during May-June and from frost during winter months. The mature plants can tolerate freezing temperature as well as a high temperature up to 46OC.
WATERING:

Regular and abundant watering is essential at the young age. Once the tree gets established it doesn’t require regular and frequent watering. However, you can water the plant during the period of active growth or in a drought like conditions in summer. Watering 2-3 times in a month in summer is sufficient for a mature tree. In any case, water stagnation must be avoided.
TEMPERATURE:

Amla tree is tough and resistant to exploits of climate. It bears mild snowfall during winter months in the forest of Western Himalayas and tolerates extreme heat and dry atmosphere in tropical India. It is sensitive to prolonged freezing temperatures and grows best when it is not exposed to frost.




GROWING

1. Spread amla berries in sunlight to dry until they are shrivelled if you don't begin with amla seeds. Peel off the pulp to uncover the berries' hexagonal stones. Locate the small seeds inside the stones, and pry them out, cutting the stones if necessary.

2. Drop the amla seeds into a container of water. Discard all seeds that don't sink into the water. Let the seeds soak in the water for 12 hours.

3. Fill seedling pots with a potting soil containing equal portions of sand, compost, and garden loam. Plant one amla seed in each pot, placing each seed at a depth three times its diameter in the potting soil. Moisten the potting soil, and cover the pots with plastic wrap. Remove the plastic wrap as needed to moisten the soil, ensuring it stays damp. Germination should occur in two weeks to one month. Continue to grow the seedlings in pots for eight to 10 months, until they reach 10 to 12 inches in height.

4. Choose a planting location with deep, rich, well-drained loam and full sun exposure. Although amla does best in deep, rich soil, it grows in almost any ground that isn't extremely alkaline or soggy. Dig planting holes 30 feet apart, and mix a few shovelfuls of composted manure into the soil of each hole. Plant the seedlings at the same soil depth in the holes that they were in their pots. Place composted manure on top of the soil around the seedlings, keeping it several inches from their trunks. Water the planting sites.

5. Snip back the tips of your saplings when the trees reach 3 feet tall. Doing so forces them to branch out. Allow a few of the strongest branches evenly spaced around the trunk to remain, but remove all weak growth.

6. Give each tree about 5 ounces of granular, fruit tree fertilizer twice during the first year, scratching the fertilizer into the ground around each tree's trunk and watering that ground afterwards. Double the amount of fertilizer the second year, and gradually increase it so each tree receives about 3 pounds of the fertilizer per application when it is 10 years old. After the trees begin to produce fruits, schedule the feedings so that one feeding occurs just after the blossoms fall and the other feeding occurs four months afterwards.

7. Water the trees at least once every two weeks during summer. Expect the trees to flower during summer and to produce fruits during winter to early spring.


8. Pick the fruits after they turn from green to greenish yellow or greenish white, but check the seeds inside one berry before picking all of the berries. Seeds that turned from white to black indicate the fruit is ripe.

How to make Lawn Grass or Carpet Grass





Seeding your lawn is an economical and satisfying way to introduce healthy turf to your yard. In order to enjoy successful lawn establishment and a yard full of lush, inviting green grass, follow these eight steps:
1. Choose the right time of year: Early fall is the ideal time to plant grass seed because the ground is still warm to hasten germination. And the days are cool and sometimes rainy ensuring the seeds are moist. In early fall there is sufficient sunlight to allow new grass to thrive. this helps the grass to establish before winter.

2. Prepare the site: Grading of the site before planting is important as it will help in water retention and allow easy mowing. Choose steep slopes and make sure the area is level to avoid diseases.

3. Prepare the soil: It's important that your soil is loamy.

4. Plant the Seed: Rake the soil surface smooth and then sow the seed evenly.  Again use a rake to lightly work it into the soil at a depth of about 1/4 inch. Don't bury the seeds any deeper, as they require adequate light to germinate quickly.

5. Water: Water once a day with a light spray to keep the seeds moist. Sometimes skip watering for 1-2 days and water the next day. Once the seeds germinate and the seedlings begin to grow, water them regularly to keep them moist.

6. Inspect establishment: It will take two months for the grass to establish. At this time, start heavy watering regularly.

7. Mow and Maintain: Once the grass reaches three inches high, mow off one inch.

Tall Fescue or Barmuda Grass Plantation And Maintenance


Tall Fescue is a winter grass that remains green and grows best in moist environments. It is drought tolerant and can adapt a wide range of soils except for clay soil which is high in organic matter.

Culture & Planting:

A well-prepared seedbed is essential to well-drained soil and abundant afternoon shade. Steps should be taken before planting to eliminate undesirable grasses. Early fall is the perfect time to establish tall fescue from either seed or sod. Although tall fescue tolerates low fertility particularly nitrogen.

Watering:

Proper watering is very important for its survival. Apply enough water to wet the soil to a depth of 3 to 4 inches. Now allow the water to percolate into the soil. Repeat this cycle until the soil is sufficiently moistened. Tall fescue requires frequent watering during summer months when there is inadequate rainfall.

Pests:

Tall fescue is fairly tolerant to most turfgrass diseases. However, brown patch can be a problem during rainy season. Once the disease is properly identified, treat the lawn with a fungicide.

Over seeding: 

Many tall fescue lawns become thin after summer. So mow the lawn to a height of 2 inches before broadcasting seed. Apply seeds and fertilize. These steps are usually adequate to rejuvenate the lawn. After seeding, keep the soil moist for 2 to 3 weeks.

If your seeds are so tiny then you can spreed water very lightly and carefully on the seed.Make sure that the water must be mixed with diluted fungicide powder(2 gm in 1 litter water). It is very important  notice to follow that the seeds will not to go very deep inside the mixture by speeding water on the seed, if it happen then the fertilization of the seeds are become difficult.

Step 4
  
Sprinkle diluted fungicide water (2gm in 1 liter water) after sowing the seeds.We have to careful about putting the seed because seeds will not to go deep inside the mixture.

Step 5
 Cover the seedling tray with tightly  plastic polythene wrap over the pot to promote soil moisture  and place it in under  light shadow area . Lift the plastic after three days  to check that the soil  moist or  not. If not, lightly moisten it with a water-filled spray bottle before replacing the plastic.

Step 6
Remove the plastic as soon as the seedlings emerge, and gradually move the pot to a brighter area over a two-week period so that at the end of that time they're acclimated to being in full sunlight.

CARE

  • The plant needs shade in the nursery.High intensity of sunlight is harmful to it.
  • When seedling will be  reached at 4 to 6 leaf soon they will  be transplanted to poly bags.
  • But do it carefully from beds with all roots immediately after transplantation.

Site and soil:

The most important requirement  is a good location with plenty of light. It needs at least five or six hours of good sunlight. It will  perform even better when located in full sun all day. With out  much  light they will produce  fewer flowers.

Spread the organic matter two to three inches thick. Then incorporate it into the soil to a depth of eight to ten inches, using a rototiller or garden fork. This helps open up heavy clay soil, which improves drainage, but can also increase the ability of light, sandy soil always hold moisture and nutrients.

Rambutan Plants Cultivation ,Growing ,Care, Use and its Surprising Health Benefits.




Rambutan (scientifically termed as ‘Nephelium Lappaceumis’) is a fruit that definitely features in the list of ‘Most Exotic fruits of Our Planet’. It’s a fruit not a lot of people know about. However, some experts call it ‘super fruit’ because of the many benefits its ingestion has. This fruit resembles lychees in the way it looks- it is red coloured on the outside while it is inside it white, it is oval in shape and is generally one to two inches in length. Moreover, like lychees, it is also found in bunches with stems sticking out of them. The fruit has a thin, leather-like skin layer with multiple tube-like structures sticking out of it that seems like spikes on a hedgehog. Sometimes, one can also find rambutans having greenish yellow or orange exterior skin colours. The fruit, in many ways, also looks exactly like a sea urchin.

The trees on which this fruit grows have some interesting characteristics as well. The fruit grows on trees which are about 10-20 feet (which is nearly 3.05-6.1 m) high. These trees generate cultivable fruits twice every year- a smaller batch of mid-spring along with a bigger one at the end of fall. Some of the rambutan trees are male and therefore do not produce fruits at all. Several trees are hermaphrodites, i.e., producing both female and male flowers, while some are entirely female. The hermaphrodite trees, thus, are the most fruitful (pun intended).

They’re white or even green in colour, plus some variation exists in between the female and male flower. Biologically speaking, cross-pollination is essential for female trees, in order for them to bear fruits. The rambutan flowers help majorly in this by attracting the bees to their high-quality nectar. Thus, without the flowers, there would be no fruit at all.

Rambutans, apart from tasting quite good, have several nutritional characteristics which are beneficial for our health.

Benefit of Rambutan:-

Helps You Lose Weight

Rambutan resembles a lychee fruit and can be found naturally throughout Southeast Asia. These fruits are a pretty low source of essential nutrients, but they make up for it thanks to their moderately high concentration of manganese, niacin, magnesium, and vitamin C. Rambutan fruits are known to provide many nutritional and health benefits, which is why there are so many dishes involving it.

Although eaten raw the fruit has a somehow low nutritional value, its skin contains potent antioxidants and anticancer polyphenols like caffeic acid, ellagic, and gallic acid. Over the next few minutes, we will go through the ten biggest health benefits of Rambutan.


Because of its high fibre yet low-calorie contents, Rambutan can help you lose quite a bit of weight. This is not only due to its low-calorie contents but also because of how much water they contain, which is assimilated by the body over time while tricking your stomach into thinking it is full. Its seeds also help reduce weight, but you must remember that raw seeds can be somehow dangerous, which is why it is advised to crush the seeds and combine them with other foods.
Rambutan Regenerates Blood Cells

Thanks to its high copper contents, Rambutan will accelerate your body’s white and red blood cell regeneration. Red and white cells are responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the blood system while defending the organism from a microbial attack at all times. Rambutan also contains manganese which humans need to produce useful enzymes that perform a variety of vital biochemical functions.

Makes Your Skin Smoother

Rambutan is known to possess many health benefits, yet many of the women who are fond of it swear by its ability to smoothen the skin. Due to their high water content, Rambutan will hydrate the skin, making it soft and supple. Then again, many fruits possess the capacity to smoothen the skin thanks to their rich water content. Rambutan, however, doesn’t contain the calorie concentration of other fruits, thus being better for people who are on a diet.

Rambutan Makes Your Bones Stronger

Not many fruits contain the high concentration of calcium, phosphorus, and iron that Rambutan fruits contain. Your body needs calcium on a daily basis to strengthen the bones, while phosphorus helps with their regeneration. Like we said, Rambutan also contains quite a bit of iron which helps haemoglobin transport oxygen from the lungs to different organs and tissues throughout the body.

Good for Your Kidneys

Like we already pointed out, Rambutan contains phosphorus among a diversity of other useful contents. Now phosphorus has many functions within the body, from helping bone regeneration to protein formation and cellular repair. It also plays an important role in keeping your kidneys healthy. It does this by encouraging the healthy balance of all fluids eliminated from the body, thus helping your kidneys remain toxin-free.

Rambutan Prevents Constipation

Apart from its high water content that helps the body stay hydrated and balanced, Rambutan also contains around 3g of dietary fibre per 100g of pulp. Because of this, it contributes to relieving constipation quite a bit. You see, dietary fibre adds bulk to stools, encouraging their proper elimination. Rambutan is also known for killing and expelling intestinal parasites thanks to its antifungal properties.

Gives You Energy

Thanks to their high carbohydrate contents, Rambutan can be used as a natural energy booster. Its almost 20% carbohydrates content helps regulate blood sugar levels thus providing your body with enough energy to perform a variety of cognitive and physical activities. Because of this, your body no longer needs to use proteins for energy, using carbohydrates to perform essential cellular functions instead.


Rambutan Contains Vitamin C


Even a handful of Rambutan is enough to provide your body with all the vitamin C and manganese it needs to function properly. Manganese and vitamin C are responsible for protecting you against oxidative stress chronic diseases, and premature ageing. Furthermore, vitamin C stimulates collagen production, a protein that our body needs to maintain the structure of our blood vessels and skin.

Can be Used to Treat Common Illnesses

Interestingly enough, you can use Rambutan to treat common illnesses like thrush, headaches, or even dysentery. Traditionally, people have been applying Rambutan leaves on their forehead whenever they had a headache to ameliorate the pain. By creating a paste from the tree’s bark, you can treat thrush apparently, while its roots can be used to treat fever. This being said, you can use Rambutan to cure almost any common illness along with a few uncommon ones as well.

Rambutan Fights Cancer

Not only can Rambutan be used to treat common illnesses, but the antioxidants contained by its fruit can help protect you against cell alteration and DNA deterioration, which are the main causes of neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Like we already said, Rambutan contains a variety of useful contents like vitamin C, manganese, p-Coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ellagic acid, and gallic acid, chemicals that have been known to reduce stomach cancer, ulcers, and neurodegenerative diseases like dementia or Parkinson’s.

Beans Germination ,Growing ,Care, Use and its Health Benefits.


The beans are also known as French beans. Beans are one of those vegetables which grow long. Especially it grows in winter. It has many colours like Black beans, Pink beans and Yellow wax beans. Almost all the varieties of beans can be available year-round across the world.
Biennials are sown like half-hardy annuals or perennials in spring or fall and planted out in September and October. Winter annuals such as some Californian and desert plants may be grown in summer, but are at their best sown in fall, even if grown in the greenhouse in cold winter areas.


GERMINATION

Beans are one of those vegetables which grow very fast all the season. Most vegetables are indifferent to whether they have light or darkness when germinating. Its seeds are very sensitive, it can be sowed directed to the soil.



Choose a field where you want to sow your seeds. Or you can make on the seedling tray.Dig on the ground to make different row where the plants will grow well.
Dig one end of the row to the depth of your shovel, put that soil at the other end of the row, This way the soil will  be loosened. Dig the space next to that, putting the removed soil in the first space. Continue digging down the row for  loosening the soil at the bottom of each hole, until you put the first soil you removed in the other end of the row.  This process is known as double digging. Do this in an area of the vegetable garden that receives full sun when it is dry enough to work in the spring. Let the soil rest for a few weeks.

Sow the bean seeds six inches apart and 1 inch deep, slightly less if you have clay soil.Use three seeds for one plant. Sprinkle water very lightly and carefully on the seeds keeping the soil moist, but not soggy until the green bean seeds germinate.Now, wait for six to seven days for germination.

BENEFITS OF BEANS

1.Green beans contain excellent levels of vitamin-A, and health-promoting flavouring polyphenolic antioxidants such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and β -carotene in right amounts.

2.Raw fresh green beans also called as snap beans or French beans, should be tender, long, stiff, but flexible and give snap sound when broken. Buy them from organic stores for their delicious beany flavour.
