post season observation
I noted something interesting about the alsande after it dried up. It was surrounded by weeds of a particular kind (need to get a snap of that). Maybe that is an indicator of nitrogen in soil?

The magic bean
Eng.: Velvet bean
Sans: Kapikachhu, Atmagupta
Tam: Periya poonaikaali
An article on how velvet bean has been used to increase productivity around the world. It is a good forage crop and good ground cover to prevent weeds from coming up. It is also used in Ayurvedic medicines. It has been used to supplement food during droughts in NE India. The water it is boiled in must be thrown away to remove toxins.

Medicinal plants to grow
High demand for:
Sita Ashoka the main ingredient of Ahsokaristha (a key Ayurvedic formulation for gyaenecological disorders). The estimated demand of Sita Ashoka bark is in excess of 2,000 MT, however, the availability in the wild is extremely rare.
Guggal (Commiphora wightii) – a thorny bush which yields gum resin and is used in more than 100 Ayurvedic preparations. Likewise, though more than 1,000 MT of gum resin of Guggal is used by the Ayurvedic industry, more than 90% of this is imported.
Dashmools – used in the most widely used Ayurvedic preparation – Dashmoolarishta.
Bilva root (Aegle marmelos),
Agnimantha root (Premna integrifolia),
http://www.kew.org/plants-fungi/Premna-serratifolia.htm
