Doctor cultivates diverse farm with spices and fruit trees in Mararikkulam South

Dr. C.T. Augustine, a medical officer, cultivates a diverse farm with spices and fruit trees, treating plants with the same care as patients. His 1.20-acre farm in Mararikkulam South features Thai Pink Guava, dragon fruit, sapota, nutmeg, pepper, jackfruit, mango, banana, and more, grown in grow bags and PVC pipes. Dr. Augustine uses fish-based fertilizer and organic pest control, selling surplus produce locally and plans to focus on farming after retiring next year.
