A marked difference in the count was observed. Addition of ash results in increase in the overall bacterial flora, including the effective bacteria i.e nitrogen fixers and phosphate solubilisers while reduction in the fungal flora was seen.

        We must be in control of the mind, not the mind in control of us. If every small thing can either rise or fall this mind causing ‘mood changes’ constantly, then there can be no serenity, no peace of mind, no clarity of thinking and thus no positive direction can be attained. So aim first to control the mind to be on an even keel with every event – positive or negative – in one’s life. Do you understand? Continue reading “We Must be in Control of the Mind”
