[varun44]

Hello Friends,

From a long time I want to have my own farm with all the native fruit, medicinal and forest trees. I am not doing or expecting any income out it, but want to do only for a hobby/recreation.

I have found a 2 acre land at (from Anekal 25 km TN), but I do not have any basic knowlwdge of soil and if it good for my requirement. Please let me know which soil is suitable for my requirement.

Also I can able to spend only 2 days a week for this activity, therefore I have following questions


- How praitical to do this, as I can spend only two days a week for this activity
- Can I able to find people to take care of (will pay him monthly)
- other pros & cons

Please share your experiences and thoughts.

Thanks, Varun

Fruit Garden

Mostly the soil will be red only. You have to check the availability of water near by. we also have a land near solur but water table little poor. you can grow fruits like mango, banana, jack, guava, suppota, avacado pear, litchi, jambos, jamun, coconut, arecanut , vegetables. you can keep one worker regularly and do the thing. there is no harm in it. you can do it nicely
