Watering
In
YAJNYA atmosphere and with intensive
gardening, watering demands become
less, depending on the climate and
rainfall. The basic rule of thumb
for watering is ½·- 1 inch of
water per week. This is roughly two
to three twenty minute sessions of
watering a week, minus any rainfall.
Consistency is the key.
If
hand watering, it is best to allow
the stream of water to pour off of
your right hand onto the plant soil.
A pure mind full of Mantra, a heart
full of love at this time is
beautifully nourishing to the
plants.
Feeding
Soil
feedings and foliar sprays are
recommended every other week.
Agnihotra ash can be spread on the
ground around the plants and on the
leaves to help protect the plant
from insect damage.
Agnihotra
Plant Therapy
To make Agnihotra plant food solution, put
two to four tablespoons of powdered
Agnihotra ash plus two to four of
powdered dried cow dung into a
gallon of distilled water and mix
well. Plants will thrive if watered
with this mixture and with Love.
A
spray solution can be made by mixing
two to four tablespoons of Agnihotra
ash to a gallon of water. Let the
solution stand for three days. Then
strain through a tea strainer as if
you were making ghee. Use the
spray to protect the plants from
insects and disease.
