Amar Kaka's update: Mar '17
1. Jakkur Lake Organic Community Garden is well on its way🌱🌱🌱🌾🌾
2. Perfect soil mix is prepared using mixture of native soil, red soil, organic compost .
3. Collected red bricks, rocks around the lake area and used them to partition the raised beds.
4. Quality seeds collected from other communities , fellow gardeners also odered  online for some rare varieties
5. Due to weather conditions little garden needs watering on daily basis or sometimes twice in a day. 
6. Thanks to the amazing water source around with rich organic nutrients.  Hand-watering the garden area .
7. Exited to see glorious green leafy vegetables like lettuce, spinach, mint, corriander, methi, tota kura etc  growing.
8. Raddish, beetroot, cauliflower, okra,  cluster beans etc just started growth
9. Feels good to see pumpkin, various gourds, cucumber vines spreading over the lake side.
10.  Great job by jal poshaks and the budding gardeners.
11. Community gardening is gaining attention , with new participants and visitors. 

Benniganahalli Lake Plantation:

  • Benniganahalli Lake Plantation program - 23 Jun '19
Dear team, Greatly honoured to see the enthusiasm being built here. We are getting 500 sapplings , however I also want to ensure that each one is heart content in his/her contribution in planting. So I thought it best to also give an option where incase someone wishes to plant something they have dearly grown in their garden and wish to see it flourish at the lake side. - Saritha

Issues/ Concerns to focus in the coming days:
  • Fencing in Gaps where illegal ways (saw ~8 routes in all sides)
  • One Pipe should go around lake with Tap every 100 meters for watering to plants.
  • Lot of plants (~50%) planted within a feet deep....those need to be replanted !!
  • Security to the lake. Cows should not be allowed to enter which may eat planted tree's !!
Note: Better to visit other (near by) Tanks where plantation is done & managed by local people !!? to get better ideas :) , like BNPura lake (B.Naranapura Bus Stop ORR) , Mahadevapura Lake (near EMC2)
