Thank you ma'am I am a Physician, but have been interested in permaculture for 2-3 yrs now and finally jumped into it. Have wated your initial video when u purchased the land many yrs ago. You are doing great ma'am, and i get a lot fo help watching ur videos. Regards.
Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently live through a drought and we are creating swales
Greetings!
After this pandemic is over I will be starting my one acre permaculture farming under your guidance.
All the best to you!
U should have one native Desi cow and bull plus Desi seeds...for good results
There is no plan for ending the pandemic. All the more reason to go ahead and start creating your permaculture farm.
Watching from texas!! I love watching permaculture design.
I'm in San Antonio and getting into this now! I don't know how, but I know this is the way I want to go.
Thank you mam, for giving us knowledge. You are very fortunate to have the best permaculture food forest....
So nice of you
Thank you for your efforts to educate us. It's slowly becoming an essential survival skill for indian farmers.
Glad you found this video informative! Do share it
Hi Manisha... watching aananda videos rejuvenate my mind.... though I don't own any land but having life in lap of nature, away from artificial city life is my dream for so long. You are doing great job by spreading this awareness.
Thank you so much 🙂
it is so complex how nature works we have gain lots of knowledge to replicate it and it all does without any human interruption and we humans call us the most intelligent species
Was waiting for such a video.... Thanks Ms. Manisha. I have absolutely FLAT land with alkaline ground water. Now I have a good idea what to do.
So glad you found this video informative
Love you guys... Thank you for this video ❤
Glad you liked it!
Your farm is really inspiring as it is like walking in Hand with Nature, Currently I can't afford a farm in Konkan but at list I can feel ur Farm.
So nice of you
Thank you for this.
You guys are amazing.
Thank you too!
Great thinking 🙏😔
You inspire me, after pandemic is over I might start permaculture on 1 acre of land.
I happened see your video by accident but i saw 6 video of your right from start part 1 to 4 and then checking them randomly. Well short of words to appreciate your well deserved efforts to develop your farm and seems you put your heart and soul in it. God bless u in your future Endeveours, I hope u become national personality where people will look forward for leader in you. Also your videos are excellent and well edited, english is also excellent. All the best to your daughters too, god bless them.
Thank you for your kind message
@@farmaanandaa your work is highly appreciated. Just a kind request, if you show some pics of your works done for guidance, it would be helpful
It will be very helpful if u show a map of your land and draw a zone distribution and feature the elements on it
Dear mam , it was a wonderful video of Q&A on water management . Learnt a lot today ,thanks for posting.looking forward to your next video :)
Glad you learned a lot, we are happy to spread information! Do subscribe and stay tuned for more videos!
Most important topic so far. If possible , if you can share how you have designed swales and pounds in a diagram it will be really helpful for ppl like me who is planning to design the farm soon. I have a land in Kerala which is between 3 hills and during monsoon we have excess water and during summer no water. I am exploring how this issue can be solved. Please let me know if you provide consulting as well Manisha. Thanks once again for your valuable time and input.
Madhu, you will find everything in our blogs under the water management tag. See this link.

@@farmaanandaa Thanks... That helps :)
Love Aananda farm...
:)
Thanks, excellent initiative, hats off to you
So nice of you
Thank you sooo much. This episode is very informative.
You're very welcome!
Dear Manisha, this is Anitha from Hyderabad, southern part of India.we have been following your videos for quite sometime now, really got inspired and want to design similar farm as yours. All the videos are very informative and clearly understandable even to a layman like me who is not into farming. Thanks a ton🙏 for taking time out for Q n A's and the explanatory videos.
I have one question: i see that your farm land is black soil, is it so? And which one do you suggest red/black/mixed? That would really help, as i am in look out to buy a farmland past six months, regret for not asking you before itself🙈
We actually started off with sandy soil. Our entire land was just sandy dirt, no nutrients or moisture. Using the principles of permaculture we managed to re-develop our soil, get back its fertility and nutrition. We have no specific suggestion to which soil one should have, all soils are useful in their own ways -It's about making the most of them and taking care of them
After every video I watch from Aanandaa and reading a few books, I write down questions to email you, and most of them gets answered in the next video by you guys. Amazing to see this wealth of information!! Keep spreading the knowledge and inspiring others.
Wonderful!
@@farmaanandaa is it possible to talk to you
Thanks for making this video on water management 🙏🙏
No problem - thans for watching it!
Thank you for the valuable insights on the video.
> How important is the pond liner?
> Also please suggest some trees to be grown at the periphery of the pond to avoid evaporation,
We will be releasing a video about the same in a few weeks!! Stay tuned :)

Hi - Where can I get pond liner made of coir (I understand that is what you did). Many thanks!
Thank you mam
Hi have your tried borewell recharge . What is your thoughts on the same
hello! thank you constantly teaching through demonstration. the water soaked through a pond liner?
sharada
Yes it did
Could you find a connection between involvement in permaculture and Holistic Living.....
May God bless you...
without drift irrigation doing this stuff its amazing thing..
It's drip irrigation, and yes we don't use it।
Thank you
You're welcome
How to manage water in the land having almost bare rock or very small layer of soil and then hard rock?
Is this land is even eligible for farming?
Thank you very much for sharing your experiences Madam..small suggestion if you don't mind...will be more helpful if you can show the visuals while answering the questions atleast in a picture in picture Mode..please think over it.
noted, that is a good suggestion
thank you madam
Yes it's good suggestion it's easy to understand it's reach more people mostly village people
Good video. Bgm is dominating your explanation. Please reduce Bgm to lower decibel for clear understanding of your input. Please re post the video after adjusting it. Thanks
We wont be reposting the video, but we can keep it mind in the future

Thanks, do share the video if you liked it👍

Drip irrigation system is not fancy... It's scientific process to water the plants.
Thanks for detailed answers. What is the average annual rainfall in your region?
About 1000 mm
Which trees are suitable for Small plot of 404 Sq yds that may not required water much
Please make video on environmental issues effecting land.
Please make a video about manure usage ,types and it's preparation
Will try
nice video and it will be better if it is shown live on how the water is managed on your farm by sawles and channel and pond as it will be more viewer engaged
We have made 2 other videos about the same - you can watch them here

@@farmaanandaa Yes i saw it later, before posting this comments and very nice video and i think you should start your own online training on premaculture
Quite informative
Glad you think so!
Respect you from pakistan
Madam, thank you for the video. I have a question. Why did you not line your pond with plastic sheet and then let the excess water seep into the ground? That way wouldn't you have longer access to pond water which would otherwise percolate into the ground?
Because a plastic sheet would not have lasted too long, and eventually would develop tears in it. Its unnatural and also ugly. The coir liner allows a natural ecosystem to develop through it, while it decomposes over the years.
@@farmaanandaa it's so kind of you to reply to all queries in comments section as well..thank you & God bless 🙏
Very nice QnA
But background music is very annoying
I have difficulty listening to your precious words
Please reupload the video without the music.
Sorry for that
Love your vedios...
Question:Can we use the concept of banana/papaya circles on a straight line?
Do mean can you make many circles one after the other in a straight line?
Noo..i meanif we keep 3 scales together..so the middle one will be dugged and the side two will be used for planting
you should maintain the circular shape, don't make it in straight lines
@@farmaanandaa thankyou
Hi Mam , Recently we have taken up Cashew plantation and we have problem of irrigation we have one bore with 2 inch and Soil is red sand where we cannot Flow on surface we are thinking about drip irrigation do we have any alternatives in Permaculture
Do rainwater management through swales. Learn more through our blogs on www.aanandaa.com.
I am having 3 acre land on the slope of a hill.
There is a stream flowing nearby my property.
Is it advisable to dig a pond in my property.
Very hard to give an answer with such little information! Recommend you explore our course Water for every Landscape and get a perspective on how to manage water.
aanandaa.teachable.com/p/water-for-every-landscape
Great information! More of us need to adopt Permaculture so as to save our planet.
That's the truth
Maam how to make poly pond .Is it useful for small farmer or not
Thank you for the informative video, could you tell me on how do I cover the soil?
Use mulch!
Aanandaa The Permaculture Farm Thanks for the information. Need to research mulching.
Aanandaa The Permaculture Farm can vermicompost be used as mulch?
@@MasoodSyedHusseiny No, vermicompost is fetiliser, and not mulch. Mulch are things like leaf litter, wood chips, sometime even plastic sheets or cardboard are used as mulch.
We have half acre of land and we want to plant lot of tree. Problem we are facing is to dig hole we can't hire JCB as land do not have direct access to Road. Our neighbors although have good relationship with us but not ready to provide road to us through this land. what are the practicle options for us.
You can dig the pits manually. That may also give employment to some needy people.
What is source of water in your farm for your personal uses like kitchen, drinking & bath water?
Rainwater harvested from our rooftops
@@farmaanandaa don't you have borewell system?
We do. But it's our secondary source of water
@@farmaanandaa ok
How to keeps bugs/ pests away after mulching ?
Do you have fishes in your ponds or such things?
How to keep pond water clean? Do we need to introduce local fishes in it? How to stop mosquitoes breeding in it
Yes you can do that.
Do we need to take away the excess soil every year from the pond which will come through rain water?
If your pond is filling up with soil each year, you must look at the problem and address it upstream by planting trees and grasses that prevent erosion
@@farmaanandaa thanks for the reply.
Mam just figure out your pond, swalen and what are method figure out the farm so it will be easy to understand mam
Read these set of blogs under water management - they will help you to understand better.
www.aanandaa.com/blog-1/categories/water-management
@@farmaanandaa thank you mam I am pleasure mam
I have a suggestion ma'am....you can start bee farming at your farm house...
We have a few bee boxes at Aanandaa too! We like to have bees to enhance the pollination at Aanandaa, we do not extract honey from them as of now
what could be the pond liner material?
Its made of 85% coir and 15% polyester
Madam kya 40 acre me permaclure fit ho sakta as commercial farming
bilkul!
How to resist soil wash in water flowing in pond in rainy season??
You must line the pond with coir and do sufficient plantation around!!
Good information but background music is very loud.
How many acres ?
Madam, I'm from Bangladesh and want to make a farm like yours.
Go for it! More power to you!
Hey are you connected to vrinda lath, a bird watcher from hp/ manipal
No direct connection. We probably belong to the same native area ie Una district.
@@farmaanandaa thanks a ton for responding. When I saw your video on down to earth channel I was smitten. I am also planning to set up a permaculture farm. Is there a way to see your farm . I belong to the same belt from mother's side
Pls email us on hello@aanandaa.com
MAM NEVER GO FOR DRIP IRRIGATION FOR YOUR FARM... DRIP SYSTEM SUITS FOR COMMERCIAL MONOCULTURE FARMING... ON THE OTHER HAND ITS TOO COMPLICATED TO OPERATE AND ITS RIZER PIPES DAMAGES VERY EASILY.... ITS A HUGE HEADACHE
Dont plan to put drip irrigation ever. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Mam how I select land for farming
all land is suitable, it is a very personal decision
HELLO
I am new to this permaculture world.
How can I get to know about this
You can watch all our videos, subscirbe and read our blogs on www.aanandaa.com
Thank you for reply.
Is there any way I can have hands on experience or short course in field.
Madam, how much area is required to store 10 lakh litres of water?
The dimensions of our pond are 100 ft x 85 ft x 15 ft.
That’s simple - 10 lakh litres...
@@sanjaychabra4517 Haha, good one.
Mam I am a fitness professional working in Bangalore...I love they way you live your life..and I have around 4 acres of land in kerala gifted from my parents..I wanted to know ..will it be enough for me to manage a family if I move to permaculture farming on a full time basis..and will I receive marriage proposals.. being a farmer.... waiting for your reply
Do you know anyone who can provide consultancy services for water management for my farm.
You can consult Manisha by booking time with her on aanandaa.teachable.com
Didn't the agriculture department officials visit ur farm and implement on nation wide level..
nope, unfortunately not
So sad... Mam why don't u give training class to adopt natural farming..to nearby farmers...this model gives rural employment largely
I have 375 acres of land in Pakistan i started olive farming its not level land is this possible you come to Pakistan and visit my land give me better ideas i will pay your all expenses?
No sir. We don't do consultancy projects
hindi me bhi batiye ji... pls
