1. Is there a big difference in yields compared to the conventional method?
2. What are the optimum specs for making the pits as there are many conflicting specs given on the net? I was told pit diameter: 2.5-3 ft, pit depth: 1.5 ft, distance between rows: 5.5-6 ft, distance between pits: 4.5-5 ft
3. Is it only feasible to do with drip irrigation or it can be done via conventional flooding?
4. Any specific disadvantages of this method? I know of lodging esp when it attains height for which I believe it can be tied up. Any other?
5. Can the pits be made manually?
6. What happens to the empty land/space between the rows. How does one keep it clear of weed/grass?
7. Application of fertilizer?
Thank you!!!!
