What do plants love?

1) Rain aka Free Distilled Water!!! Collect it all while you can! Use a barrel! Use a rain water harvesting tank! Every bit counts

2) Regular nutrition: I use Sun rich Organic Manure and home made compost


3) Legume crops growing in the vincinity

4) pH balanced grow bags: beware of fancy grow bags filled with unwashed, highly acidic coco peat

5) Being Ant Free

How to set up your kitchen garden

Grow Your Own Food!

 Set up a Kitchen Garden or a Terrace Garden easily, with minimum investment.
The benefits of growing your own food are numerous:

·         The food tastes better, and is free from pesticides and harmful chemicals such as preservatives used to coat food, so that it can be transported long distances

·         You will appreciate food better, and young children will be more inclined to eat fruit and vegetable, if they develop an interest in gardening

·         If you set up a terrace garden, you can cool the ambient temperature in your house by more than 5°C

Gardening will bring a therapeutic change in your lifestyle and give you an outlet for exercising your mind and body
