Farming
Seventy percent of your plot, growing food
Drip irrigated, planted with six crops you choose, and maintained regularly — including the weeks you do not visit.
How much of each plot is farmed?
Around 70% of each plot is planted with fruit and vegetable crops as a kitchen garden, with up to 30% allotted for cottage construction and semi-open spaces. Every plot is fitted with drip irrigation. Owners choose six plants from a list including tomato, chilli, brinjal, carrot, drumstick, lemon, guava, mango, papaya, custard apple and chikoo. There is no additional charge for the plantation, and a monthly maintenance fee covers upkeep of the farm plot.

What to be realistic about
A managed kitchen garden produces food for a household. It is not a commercial farm and should not be evaluated as an income source. If someone quotes you a yield or a return figure on a plot this size, ask them to show you the arithmetic.
What it does give you is a piece of land that stays alive, produces something you can eat, and does not turn into scrubland because you were busy for four months.
Before buying, ask what the monthly maintenance costs, exactly what it covers, how long that rate holds, and what happens if it stops being provided.
