Amaranthus Crop Video
Amaranthus Crop Video at Padval Farms, Kinya, Mangalore India
The lush green growth of Amaranthus (harive soppu, bhaji) is credited to weekly once application of Organic Gel made from Sea Weeds which contain Helpful Bacteria which breakdown the nutrients in the soil and make them more available to the plants.
to check the pest problem, pure neem oil @5ml per litre has to be used once a week.
the crop is ready to harvest in 21 days.

the video shows flowering and fruiting stage of Ladies Finger (Okra, Bhindi) grown in pits and not in rows which is the traditional method followed.
Some salient features in this method
- size of pit is fixed and uniformity is maintained, pit size followed here is 2 feet X 1 feet
- only 2 plants are allowed per pit, the rest are removed by thinning out, hence plant density is also maintained
- each pit requires the same amount of water, hence flooding and over watering is not required, saving precious water
- The plant gets more than sufficient space, with plenty of room between pits and hence no plant suffers from want of light and nutrients

Type O Negative - October Rust (1996)
Type O Negative - October Rust album review by Pritham 'Metal Farmer' D'Souza
Lineup:
Its a long weekend and you decide to make the most of it in a decadent fashion by splurging on Cheap booze and Cheaper women. After having your fun, you finally wake up very late next morning, and realize that you are not even at your own home and slowly walk like a zombie back home which happens to be a few blocks away. Tired, drained out and with a splitting hangover the last thing your ears need is to listen to some good ol Heavy Metal blaring from your speaker system.
You manage to park your sorry butt on the EZ sofa and without knowing, you turn on the Cd player and the first track you hear is a buzzing feedback which lasts for 38 seconds followed almost immediately by mature men laughing and apologizing for their rude joke.
Finally the intro to Love You to Death calms your senses like getting a back massage by petite Thai girls in downtown Bangkok. The rest of the album flows seamlessly and almost flawless if one doesnt count the intro joke Bad Ground
This is the feeling one gets when listening to 1996 TYPE O NEGATIVE's masterpiece of an album OCTOBER RUST, which i consider one of the best albums to listen to, if not the best, when one is down in the dumps and wants to remain in the dumps.
I really cant even call this a metal album, even though it is, but unlike the rest, they have such a relaxed cool approach to everything here, from the soothing riffs in tracks like Love You to Death, Green Man, Die With Me and Cinnamon Girl to the morose setting of Red Water(Christmas Mourning), everything fits like pieces of a simple puzzle. Peter Steele has the deep baritone which will make any girl squirm in ecstasy while the music has this really great trippy feeling.
Even turning on the volume full on your system wont help much as the music, though heavy in parts, never distorts enough to call it noise. Gothic metal at its finest without sounding too pompous
This is truly a remarkable album and if i am not mistaken the best Type O Negative album ever! The fact that it was also a commercial success, was loathed by fans of Peter Steele' previous band CARNIVORE, and things were about to go downhill from here from a musical point of view as they never really managed to capture this magic in their future albums even though they came pretty close.
Melancholic, Dark, Melodic, Psychedelic, Powerful and Atmospheric are some of the words rightly associated with this album with a overdose of sexiness only Peter Steele can provide with his deep, masculine voice. His soulful singing and at times chanting compliments the melodies of the guitars and keyboards perfectly.
If you dont have this album yet, you dont have a life!

Monsoon Cultivation Of Cucumber
Monsoon Cultivation Of Cucumber by Pritham 'Metal Farmer' D'Souza
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is one of the most widely used salad crops grown both in North and South India. Fruits contain good amount of Iron and Vitamin C along with carbohydrates. It is highly recommended for people suffering from Jaundice, constipation and indigestion
LAND PREPARATION
since i am mentioning the monsoon cultivation techniques here, the land preparation is very similar to my other posts where i have mentioned monsoon cultivation. Some main points to begin with
germination seen 7 to 10 days after sowing
close up of germinated seedling
seedling reaches 3 leaf stage in the 3rd week of sowing
the above pic shows water severely logged in the field. the raised seedling bed literally saved the seedlings from rot and drowing.
the photo above shows considerable growth and development of the plant when rainfall recedes and light intensity increases
excess plants must be thinned out and plant distance must be maintained as seen above
INTER CULTURE OPERATIONS AND IRRIGATION
the above figure shows rapid development of the plant and tendril stage
soil loosened to provide good aeration and also allow better drainage
MANURING, FLOWERING AND HARVESTING
the above pic shows the same stretch of land with excellent growth and flowering
formation of tender fruit buds
growing tender fruit
mature fruit ready for harvest

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) is one of the most widely used salad crops grown both in North and South India. Fruits contain good amount of Iron and Vitamin C along with carbohydrates. It is highly recommended for people suffering from Jaundice, constipation and indigestionLAND PREPARATION
since i am mentioning the monsoon cultivation techniques here, the land preparation is very similar to my other posts where i have mentioned monsoon cultivation. Some main points to begin with
- The land selected must have adequate drainage
- water logging areas should not be selected
- however if availability of land is a constraint, seeds have to be sown on elevated bunds as shown below
- Due to heavy rains, most of the seeds get drowned with too much moisture and they start to rot even before germination, hence more seeds have to be sowed.
- bunds or raised seed beds should have a minimum height of 10 to 15 inches and seeds once germinated must be thinned out and plant distance maintained
germination seen 7 to 10 days after sowing
close up of germinated seedling

the above pic shows water severely logged in the field. the raised seedling bed literally saved the seedlings from rot and drowing. 
the photo above shows considerable growth and development of the plant when rainfall recedes and light intensity increases
excess plants must be thinned out and plant distance must be maintained as seen above
INTER CULTURE OPERATIONS AND IRRIGATION- Since this is monsoon technique, irrigation is not given, however, due to erratic rainfall patterns, lite irrigation is a must at the time of sowing to moisten the field in case rains fail.
- while making the raised beds/bunds, decomposed Organic Manure must be added to the soil, and mixed thoroughly and seeds must be sowed on top of this. When the seeds germinate and grow, they will make use of the nutrients present in the soil
- DO NOT spray the crops during monsoons using pesticides or liquid fertilizers when there is not enough sunlight.
- Spraying of Liquid fertilizers should be done only when required and in the presence of sunlight. plants prepare their own food during photosynthesis and so sunlight is the most important factor.
- Soil aeration can be increased by loosening the soil around the root zone of the plants. this also helps in drainage.
the above figure shows rapid development of the plant and tendril stage
soil loosened to provide good aeration and also allow better drainageMANURING, FLOWERING AND HARVESTING
- The plant receives the basal dose of decomposed farm yard manure at the time of preparation of the land and sowing.
- Spray 1 ml seed weed based algae Organic Manure in 1 litre of water at every 10 day intervals. addition of wetting agent like APSA or other sticking agents is recommended so as to increase the effectiveness of the sprays
- Flowering will be seen 40 to 45 days after sowing and the mature fruits can be harvested after 55 to 60 days after sowing.
- Timely harvesting the fruit is a must otherwise they over ripe and become unfit for consumption. for salads, the green color of the fruit must not turn brownish yellow.
- fruits must be plucked every alternate days to avoid over riping
- for seeds, yellow brown fruits , golden fruits (mature color) are harvested, seeds extracted, washed thoroughly in water and dried
- the seeds thhus obtained must be sowed again within 3 to 6 months or it looses its viability
- Cucumber yields up to 100 quintals per hectare
the above pic shows the same stretch of land with excellent growth and flowering
formation of tender fruit buds
growing tender fruit
mature fruit ready for harvestPESTS , DISEASES AND CONTROL
- I only recommend the usage of pure neem oil @ 5 ml per litre of water to be sprayed only when insect attack is seen
- Imidochloprid systemic insecticide @2 ml in 5 litre water can be used every 10 days for the young seedlings since they are most vulnerable to sucking pests like aphids, thrips and plant minors. it is also effective in controlling red pumpkin beetle which damages the growing leaves and severely injures the plant
- Spraying must be done in sunny weather and not in gloomy weather
- spraying in the evenings from 4pm to 5 pm is recommended than spraying during day time as it will affect pollination
- adding 2 ml per litre sticking agents or wetting agents is required to increase the effectiveness of the sprays

Opeth - Still Life (1999)
Opeth - Still Life album review by Pritham 'Metal Farmer' D'Souza
Track Listing:
Track Listing:
- The Moor
- Godheads Lament
- Benighted
- Moonlapse Vertigo
- Face of Melinda
- Serenity Painted Death
- White Cluster
Lineup:
The reason why i love this album is because of the amazing musical variations in almost every song, from bone crushing brutality to lullabies that will put a baby to sleep, this album has it all.
Mikael Åkerfeldt has one of the best vocals in the extreme metal industry and one listen to his vocal range on The Moor and Serenity Painted Death will convince even the most die hard metal fans. He effortlessly shifts from sounding like a man possessed by several demons to a soulful clean voice that can calm a terrorist. For a progressive metal buff, OPETH offers a lot more in their intricate guitar work again , from crushing riffs to beautiful acoustic guitar passages
Godheads Lament is a perfect example of a song with amazing acoustic guitar structures. and the soulful clean vocals of Mikael Åkerfeldt just compliments it perfectly.
The songs are very long, and Godheads Lament is the shortest at just over 5 minutes!
Bands like OPETH must be heard with a open mind, coz many times the music wont be easily digested. If there ever was a category in music called 'strange beautiful music' , OPETH would sit there comfortably.
Like someone told me the other day, OPETH's music is like giving music to a PICASSO painting.
In other words, you either like OPETH or you dont. If you dont, its your loss..

Dissection - Storm Of The Light's Bane (1995)
Dissection - Storm Of The Light's Bane (1995) - Review by Pritham 'Metal Farmer' D'Souza
Track Listing:
Track Listing: - At the Fathomless Depths
- Night's Blood
- Unhallowed
- Where Dead Angels Lie
- Retribution -Storm of the Light's Bane
- Thorns of Crimson Death
- Soulreaper
- No Dreams Breed in Breathless Sleep
Lineup:
Dissection was the brain child of Jon Nödtveidt, a musical genius and guitar extraordinaire who formed the band way back in 1989.
The album starts with a Black Atmospheric instrumental track At the Fathomless Depths which keeps the listener spell bound with the amazing twin guitar harmonies and the build up finally explodes with the drum roll thunder of the second track Night's Blood. From there, its a constant hell ride which will take you to the icy cold regions of Sweden courtesy the Grim Reaper himself acting as a tour guide.
Musically Dissection sound like Iron Maiden on speed with lots of Slayer, Morbid Angel riffage and complex technical passages that are bound to make most cynics nod in appreciation. Night's Blood, a perfect track in every sense, sounds like 3 tracks in one. it borderlines with thrash and death metal yet has the icy cold atmospherics of Black metal. Wait, there's even a ultra cool acoustic classical guitar part right in the middle of the song! and this is just the second track in an album of 8 superb songs.
Every track seems to tell a different tale and there are no short songs here except the first and last tracks which can be treated as an 'intro' and 'outro'. The remaining 6 tracks are pretty long in Metal standards, just showcasing the musical brilliance of Dissection particularly Jon Nödtveidt. His acoustic guitar parts blend perfectly with the heavy parts , and his vocal shrieks just spew venom. The last track No Dreams Breed in Breathless Sleep has one of the most grim sounding piano pieces i have heard in extreme metal
Even though every track is a flawless, my favorites are Night's Blood, Unhallowed and Where Dead Angels Lie
Sadly all good things must come to an end, and this was Dissections last full length release before Jon Nödtveidt was convicted in 1997 of being an accessory to murder in the killing a 38 year old Homosexual man of Algerian descent. And even sadder news of his ritualistic suicide shocked all his fans on August 16, 2006 where his bloody body was found in his apartment with a self inflicted gun shot wound inside a circle of lit candles.
This album has to easily be one of the most influential metal albums in the extreme music scene and one has to be really ignorant to not buy this album. Heavy, Fast, Brutal and melodic without sounding like sellouts. That's Dissection for you.

Cynic - Traced In Air (2008)
Cynic - Traced In Air revieved by Pritham 'metal farmer' D'Souza aka Morbidpitbull
Paul Masvidal is a certified genius composer, musician & guitarist whose talents can only be matched with the time keeping qualities of Drum God Sean Reinert.
The music here is absolute top class. Not as heavy as the first album, but then it doesnt even require to be. There are great Riffs all around, mostly played clean & the jazz influences really show here. Paul also mostly sings clean & the growly parts are only in bits sprinkled in tracks like King of those Who Know, Integral Birth and The Space For This.
Original Guitarist Jason Gobel couldnt join the band as he had family issues to deal with, but they have found an excellent replacement in Tymon Kruidenier, the Dutch virtuoso who also plays with another band featuring members of Textures, responsible for the death metal growls here.
Most progressive bands these days release albums with very lengthy songs & often the album length exceeds 60 minutes. Cynic's album thankfully clocks just over 30 mins but the listener is somehow compelled to repeat all the tracks on loop mode.
The eerie vocals are done using a vocoder which takes the vocal inputs and converts the signals electronically, like using a voice modulator.
The musical arrangements are lush, the production clear as crystal. Lyrically Paul dwelves into matters like the one ness of the universe and being reborn through integral birth.
Since the album is short in length, every song here is brilliant, though i love Evolutionary Sleeper and The Unknown Guest.This is not simple music. its pretty complex with so many guitar n drum passages, riffs & totally off beat rhythm sections. Seeing them play live (wacken open air 2007) is believing, that magic created in studio can also be recreated Live in front of thousands of people. Good to see Sean Malone return as he was not able to play with them on their live shows before the release of this album due to his commitments with several other bands.
This music is totally recommended for people who want a change from the average and tired of the ordinary. Highly recommended for fans of Jazz, Death metal, Technical Metal and for those who truley love music. If u want soul in your music look no further.
