Weekend Farming #18: Tissue culture banana intercropping with Arecanut and Guava plants

Another episode that I am proud of sharing. This time, we intercropped approx. 400 tissue cultured banana saplings along with Arecanut and Guava plants. As mentioned in my previous vlog, we now have entire plot drip irrigated, thus, able to do precision irrigation into these plants.
Looking to find organic manure to supplement their nutrition needs, hoping to find a vendor who can supply it soon!

Why did you plant them in a trench? Could you post a video explaining the same? Thanks

Thank you...in Guava orchard, we planted at surface level... However, in arecanut intercropping, due to areca needs trench system of planting, we intercropped within those trenches...

@@vighneshaadiga1915 Interesting. Never heard of Areca nut needing trench system of planting. Thanks for the info and don't stop giving us regular updates on the farm progress.
