Farm stay

Image
                        A farm stay (or farmstay ) is any type of accommodation on a working Farm. Some farm stays may be interactive. Some are family-focused, offering children opportunities to feed animals, collect eggs and learn how a farm functions. Others don't allow children and instead offer a peaceful retreat for adults. For the accommodations, guests normally pay rates similar to area bed & breakfasts or vacation rentals, although pricing varies considerably. The term "farm stay" can also describe a work exchange agreement, where the guest works a set number of hours per week in exchange for free or affordable accommodation. Possible farm stay accommodations include Cabins Cottages Converted barns/outbuildings Farmhouse guest rooms platform tents Tent camping Yurts

Difference between a resort and a hotel

Image
The difference between what a hotel and a resort offers has to do with the services they provide, their location, and the activities and amenities available on-site. A resort is usually spread out over more land compared to a hotel. Considering the extra land, there are more activities for guests to partake in. I have come across many resorts are close to beach area or with easy access to beach in order to provide various water sports activities to their guests. The characteristic of resort is that it combines a hotel and a variety of recreations ; it serves food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment, relaxation such as spa and shopping. Generally, hotels located inside resorts are known as resort hotels. On the other hand, people specifically frequent resorts for relaxation or for recreation. The purpose of staying in a resort is entirely different; people who want to spend their vacation or holidays with their family in a particular city or a particular c

21+ Organic Fertilizers and How To Use Them In Your Garden

List of Organic Fertilizers Alfalfa Meal Save Alfalfa Meal source NPK Ratio: 3-2-2 Alfalfa is commonly used as part of livestock feed. However, alfalfa meal is simply ground up so that it breaks down faster. This particular fertilizer has low amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. As a result, alfalfa meal works at moderate rate of speed. The best use for this fertilizer is as a soil conditioner in the early spring prior to planting crops. Recommendation:  Down To Earth Alfalfa Meal, 5lb Cottonseed Meal Save Cottonseed Meal source NPK Ratio: 6-1-1 This fertilizer has plenty of nitrogen, but it also contains fair amounts of phosphorus and potassium.

However, this fertilizer is particularly useful for conditioning gardens in the fall before cover crops are planted or before mulch is applied. This gives the cotton seed meal time to

Synthetic vs. Organic Fertilizers

If your plants keep dropping leaves, turning odd colors, and generally failing to thrive, it might not be your gardening techniques that are at fault. There could be an imbalance in your soil that’s killing your plants. In such instances, improving your soil might simultaneously improve your chances at having a successful garden. However, it’s always a good idea to test the pH levels and the soil acidity in your garden before you start applying fertilizer. Too much of a good thing can easily be as bad as a hands-off approach. For instance, phosphorus, which is a main component of most fertilizers, will only work at a certain pH range. Adding unnecessary nutrients can also cause environmental problems since these compounds tend to get washed away in heavy rains and can end up polluting nearby waterways.        Like most organisms, plants need a variety of nutrients in order to grow properly. These elements are normally present in the soil. When they are not, the pl

Agritourism

     Agritourism means travel organized around farming, small-scale food production or animal husbandry. Visiting a working farm or ranch for the purpose of enjoyment and education are key parts of this often rural experience. Farmer's markets, cider houses and corn mazes all constitute examples of agritourism. Travelers who participate in this type of vacation frequently desire to see how food is grown and prepared or to learn how animals are raised.           Sometimes spelled, "agrotourism," Agritourism the idea of bringing urban residents to rural areas for leisure travel and spending. In an increasingly mechanized world, many people have lost touch with how their food is produced, or the region where it originated. Agritourism offers tourists a chance to reconnect with the land, providing a "hands on experience" with local foods. Agritourism activities include picking fruits, tasting wine, tending bees, milking cows and other educationa

Boating @Nivant Agro Palghar

Boating is a fun recreational activity that gets people of all age groups outdoors. If someone were to ask me ‘what do you love the most about boating’, I would say ‘the sheer pleasure of discovering the terrain of fishermen and sailors’. For those few hours or a day you are on a boat, you just toss all your worries of the routine life into the vastness of water, and drift with its flow. Children, whose experience with a boat, is mostly restricted to drawing or making craft boats at home, simply get excited at the idea of hopping into a real boat.
