5. Last summer, Shashank visited his aunt in Jaisalmer. He was surprised to see the
small kitchen garden his aunt had maintained. "Maasi, I was told Jaisalmer has very
scanty rainfall. Yet, you have such a beautiful garden" exclaimed Shashank. "You
are right", said massi looking at the garden. "A lot of people here use very little
water and conserve moisture by dry farming techniques. Infact I use a much simpler
yet very effective method" added Maasi taking Shashank to the garden, Do you
want to try maasi's method of irrigation in your garden too?
SAPUNG
LIO
SROLING - B
EARTHEN POT
HOLES
Maasi planted two saplings A and B at least a meter apart from each other in her
garden. She took an earthen pot / surahi and made small holes on its base and on
one side of it with a sharp nail. The pot was buried in such a way that its mouth
remains above the pit and it is at a distance of about 30 cm from the base of sapling
B. The pot was filled with water and its mouth was covered with a lid. She let the
sapling A be watered directly once a week while sapling B was watered only by
filling the pot with water once a week.
Now think and answer..
a) Do you notice any difference in the rate of growth of the two saplings? If so
why?
b) What have you learnt from this practise?
