Ipomoea batatas (Sweet potato) creeper is one of the best ground covers. It grows with little to no care, can be multiplied easily by stem cuttings, its swollen roots and leaves are highly nutritious, the flowers attract insects and you get a lot of mulch in no time. Just that in the dry season it attracts rodents, you have to be prepared for it.

Support species (Gliricidia in this case) help in increasing nitrogen availability, provide mulch, partial shade and more importantly a microclimate to introduce productive species.

As we see here, our support species is well established. It is time to plant grafted fruit varieties in between.

Kokan is a land of natural and cultural abundance. Permaculture as we know it, has existed in India for decades or perhaps even more in places like Kokan which is a rich, diverse belt of coastal Maharashtra located between Arabian sea and Sahyadri Mountains of western ghats. Kokan Permaculture is an initiative focussing on permaculture education, research and practice. Founders of this initiative derived a major part of their education, experience, and knowledge from the Kokan region.

We are beginning with a complete PDC extending over 4 months (online classroom sessions on weekends and one 7-days field session). We have two farms for demonstrations - one at Murbad, Thane and one at Nate, Ratnagiri where we have been working for the last 20 years. Our consultancy project sites at Shahapur, Thane offer excellent opportunities for field sessions during PDC.

We intend to focus our research on native leguminous trees to be evaluated as support species, combinations of crop plants suitable for different seasons for coastal region, propagating and maintaining varieties of roots, tubers and beans which are cultivated traditionally in this region, cultivation techniques for rock outcrops in this region, etc.
