I had kept few happy hill rice seeds in refrigerator, 100 seeds kept outside for 2 days and then sown here. I had mulched and kept this area in summer, also had applied some compost and cowdung. If there is sufficient mulch we get good weed control, at the beginning of monsoon. If area is left uncultivated, within no time, weeds take over. It is better to start rice at the beginning of monsoon, so that weeds hasn't germinated.
Made a channel using locally made fokin hoe put 2 seeds at around 20cm distance and later covered with soil.
Jackfruit trees are also shading this region, hence cut few branches

It didn't rain for 10 days, and not much seeds germinated. Hence again levelled the place and put 300 seeds this time, could see why in broadcasting farmers always put more seeds. The seeds were put in water for 20 hours and brodcasted.
