Growing your own food was the only occupation that almost 80-85% of people followed about decades ago. After the british rule, the majority of land was taken away and so people started running rat race. But still growing is doable as we all have some space on our garden's, balcony's, terraces, backyards. Space isn't an issue. Your passion is!
I dont have much space in my garden and so I have made space with pots in my garden where I can grow small trees. Also I have my backyard and balcony where I have set up a small space for growing.
Growing can also be done is grow bags, recycled tins/ buckets/ jars/ tubs etc.
Growing essentials for Organic Gardening-
- Ground space or containers. Containers can be recycled unused items from kitchen or trash can.
- Soil is the best and most reliable growing medium. As your seeds will not rot in it(with proper care), if you don't have soil you can use coco peat.
- use cow dung, goat poop, horse dung, vermi compost, compost etc as fertilizer. All of these are just waste and when we use them with plants. We just get better results. Nature's magic. Waste of one is food for another!
- Use Neem oil as pesticide. It works! You don't need harmful chemical fertilizers for your edible plant crops.
I will be sharing more info on growing. Please let me know in comments if you have any queries.
