Dear Ms.Madura

Congrat's from our Organic community and appriciated your your idea for starting organic farming. First you decide where do you want to buy land and no matter either small or large but you should understand that immediatley you can't start organic farming if the land is already cultivated with fertilizer. You have to wait for atleast 3 years or you have to remove top ferticated soil with depth about 5' to 6'.

First you decide to buy land and our agri.inf friends will help you all other organic cultivations with sucessful way.

wish you all the best
