Dear friends,
My today's post is to share you on points to note while setting up an organic terrace garden. These points are purely based on my experiments in my terrace and please keep one thing in mind - your plants are like small babies, individual care in required daily. Don't look for harvest alone from plants. Feel that you are saving the biodiversity of our soil.
Steps:
Most importantly the time you spend with plants is the key thing. If you can't spend time, pls give up the idea of terrace garden.
Stay tuned for the posts on homemade pesticide
My today's post is to share you on points to note while setting up an organic terrace garden. These points are purely based on my experiments in my terrace and please keep one thing in mind - your plants are like small babies, individual care in required daily. Don't look for harvest alone from plants. Feel that you are saving the biodiversity of our soil.
Steps:
- Decide on the area you would like set up and plants which you need to grow.
- Quantity of seeds/ plant required (for example you need to plant minimum of 6 ~7 tomato plant to meet your daily requirement)
- Design a layout of your garden.
- Selecting the soil - Red soil - 2 part , sand - 1 part , compost - 1 part with this mix a handful of Neem powder / neem cake and manure(dried cowdung)
- Tools to be bought - A trovel and Hand sprayer
- Pot - Don't blindly choose growbag. You can plastic pots if you won't get mud pots
- Watering must be done twice a day - morning before 10am and evening after 4PM is the ideal time.
- Manuring 15 days once is a must.
- Patience - is a must while safeguarding your plants from insects
Most importantly the time you spend with plants is the key thing. If you can't spend time, pls give up the idea of terrace garden.
