By : Kavili Sridhar
Hi! friends…..
All Plant lovers, terrace farmers… not satisfied with your own veggies? though nurturing them with lot of love and care…. Do you feel there must be some thing that is needed to your plants. Got vexed with tasteless . unhealthy and inorganic food…. How long it’s been that you said, “wow! The food tastes awesome or tastes like amrutam”…….yes…..amrutam!!!!
Word amrutam has a well-known meaning that , it gives eternity, strength and beauty. Amrutam is something that we can never taste, but heard about it from our elders. However, we can prepare it in another form and enjoy the taste through plants. Maybe, puzzled what am I talking about…..its nothing but jeevamrutam…yes exactly JA which can be prepared both solid and liquid…with patience and interest.

In the previous post we learnt about liquid jeevamrutam, which lasts for a short period,but surely a wonderful recipe for plants. But what to do to store it for a longer period. It may not be possible for busy plant lovers to prepare jeevamrutam, every week.Another important Organic Manure is Vermi Compost.Adding V`C to the potting soil would help the plant for a month or two.V`C is usefull to the plants, But Practically its not possible to remix the soil with vermi compost. Hence, plants require slow realeasing organic manure.

What’s the solution?
The solution is Ghana jeevamrutam, which means solid form of jeevamrutam. It also has the same ingredients and features, but the preparation is quite different. G – J can be stored up to six months.

How Do Earth Worms Help ?
Earthworms has a special character. Unlike any other living being it works all the 365 days .An earthworm has a capacity to dig up to 15ft deep into the soil and come back to the top. these burrows made by earthworms create pores. these pores help in obsorbing oxygen and water in to the soil , and leaving carbondioxide. Loosened soil has an opportunity of absorbing water and nutrients(from GJ) thoroughly. As we know bacteria plays a key role in releasing nutrients from organic matter and supply it t o the plant, these bacteria and fungi(which is also important in the process) become more active in the presence of earthworms.

How to prepare Ghana jeevamrutam?
It’s very simple to prepare. All we need is the following material.
Materials Required For G – J |
- Cow dung – 10 kgs
- Cow urine – As Per Requirement
- peas besan powder – 250 grms
- Jaggery – 250 grms
- Anthill Soil – fist full
Preparation:
Take cow dung and add besan to it and mix thoroughly. Now add Grated jaggery and slowly blend it with cow urine (consistency must be like Chapathi Dough) Excessive Use of Cow Urine May Loosen the Mix. After mixing all these ingredients thoroughly, make medium size balls and let them dry under shade. Do not expose the balls to sunlight, that would hinder the growth of microbes.
After seven days when the balls are completely dried, we can store and use them for our plants.
