Bottle gourd Farming

Budhani (Hoshangabad MP) ..... it was winter of 2008, we planned for growing Bottlegourd on 5 acres area. The selected land was fallow since last 5 years. There were lot of weeds and wild bushes grown naturally. Beside the land there was a dence forest with range of insect habitate. We started cleaning of land, levelled it and prepared for sowing. We put about 10 MT of Vermicompost and prepared wide ridges of 1 m width , 20 cm height and about 150 m long. After that we put online drip system (drippers of 8 lph at 6 ft distance). .. and the rest things are here in this video...
