Backyard gardening simply start

Homes without backyards were nowhere to be seen until the late 1980s. A small well in the backyard of each house, the stone that drove it, some banana trees, flowering plants, beans, a small pandal that spreads the bitter guard vine, a strict curry plant, and a litter box, in which the scratching and grazing turkeys could not be missed. In the spinning of the wheel of time. the seeds of the regenerating native variety were destroyed. Due to the growing population, new houses were formed in the backyards. Home gardens were gone. People also started sleeping in bags at the daily markets to buy the vegetables they needed. We, who live as a 'nest' family without joint ventures and no door to put kolam, can not even think of a home garden. This was the situation until 2010. But the cyclical rule that every innovation must return to antiquity began to show its work. Its effect was that the backyard gardens of the time evolved into terraces after a long hiatus. The technology began to spread that they could set up gardens on the terraces of concrete houses and grow their own vegetables for their family. Many nature lovers, including Subhash Palekhar, have carried out awareness campaigns on the harmful effects of vegetables on the chemical and its toxicity. It is also attracting people from rural areas to urban areas.

The townspeople have also started growing non-toxic vegetables for their family in the terrace garden. The Government of Tamil Nadu has for its part initiated the Urban Vegetable Development Project through the Department of Horticulture. In the first phase, the equipment has been provided with a subsidy to set up terrace gardens in Chennai and Coimbatore. Eligible beneficiaries are getting it and set up home gardens. Yes, the old days are coming back According to a poll, by 2030 every home will have a garden. No longer ... there will be farmers from house to house. This is the imperative of the times. Many people have a reluctance about home gardening. But, the truth is not so ... It is very easy to set up a home garden with a little home garden, at least 50 square feet is enough. It should also be a good sunny spot. The equipment required for this can be obtained in two ways. One is ‘Readymade Kids’. This is expensive. Search is low. Next, grow plants on waste old materials. The search for this is high. Low cost ‘The basic requirement for setting up a terrace garden is soil and pots. Laziness that starts with the question of where to collect these is the basic reason why farming in your home does not happen. The work will not happen if the idea is done. Nothing comes looking for a house and knocks on the door. Currently, there are no places where construction work does not take place. You can go to the construction site near us dig up the foundation and look at the topsoil. Agricultural lands can be found in a maximum of one hour's drive from any city. Ask the owner of the land and you will get the required soil. You can also search for cow dung. These are also available in cities.

Low-cost pots!

Next to the soil and dung is the pot needed for the plant to grow. There is no need to spend a lot of money and buy new tanks for this. You can use old tubs, water cans, and buckets that are not used at home. Old oil, paint buckets, grease cans are available at motor vehicle repair shops such as the truck workshop and car workshop. Old Syntex, tins, large PVC pipes, and wooden boxes used for stacking fruits, which are available in Colon stores, can be used as plant pots. These do not cost much. Grease tubs should be thoroughly washed and used to remove oil odors. New home gardeners can start with lettuce harvested in 25 days, without planting all the vegetables at once. Other vegetables can be sown after gaining experience in it. The terrace also has a degree. Although all the vegetables grow in every town ... in some towns the growth of some crops is sluggish. To make up for it you have to follow certain techniques like shading and covering. Let's see about that later.

cultivation of lettuce

Let us first look at the cultivation of lettuce. Care should be taken in soil management in home gardening. Mix one part soil, one part sand, and one part manure per tank. The red or alluvial soil should be poured on the ground and the stones and lumps should be removed and leveled. If required, coir pith can be purchased and mixed with the soil. Add 50 g of Azospirillum and 25 g of Phosphobacteria to the soil, sand, and manure required for a tank and fill the tank three-quarters full. In the case of plastic buckets, small holes should be drilled in 12 places at the bottom for round angles. These holes are necessary for the plants to drain more water than they need to. If the pots are filled with soil and watered and kept for three days, by the third day, the soil moisture will be reduced. Seed or seedling can be planted in it.

Stay in the kitchen, lettuce seeds!

The next question is 'Where to go for the seed?' In the early stages, you can sow the dill in the kitchen. To sow this spinach which has unique medicinal properties ... Take a handful of dill, clean it, fill it with soil, sprinkle it in the prepared bucket, stir the soil so that the seed disappears, and sprinkle water with the flower. Lettuce will sprout in the next four days. The dill should not be too hot when it is sprouting like this. You can reduce the sun by using coconut husk or shade net. If weeds appear, they should be uprooted by hand and disposed of. On the 10th day, 100 g of earthworm manure should be sprayed on top (this is available in nurseries). If water is sprayed daily, the lettuce will grow into a 'base' and will be ready for harvest on the 25th day. After successfully completing and gaining experience in lettuce farming, one can focus on the side of vegetable farming.
