The newspaper articles are buzzing with this new favourite word of theirs, organic this organic that….now what’s this hullaballoo all about. Is it just a fashion fad or is it here to stay? Who is to decide…
Organic farming is a form of agriculture that relies on techniques such as green manure, compost, and biological pest control.
Oh hey, hey! Now don’t stop reading this post because you are suddenly pondering over the complexity of it all. This is just a definition given in Wikipedia when you search for organic farming.
An exclusive kitchen garden that provides a sufficient supply of cooking essentials for a family does not require a huge space or a lot of additional burden. All it needs is a little patience and some perseverance.
From ever fluctuating vegetables and fruits prices, from pesticide-ridden vegetables and herb, there is only one solution; your own small kitchen garden. And yes, even you can do it. If you think you can’t, let’s see what’s stopping you from trying your hand at this; space constraint, resources, time constraint…What if I tell you all this can be worked out, you know, the space constraint, resource and guidance…umm....the time constraint part, now that no one can help you but yourself.
Even in a 20-30 sqft space in your balcony/kitchen or terrace you can have this vegetable garden. For spaces less than this, you can opt for a vertical garden. I mean, space is really not a constraint.
So, now that we have one constraint down, let look at the second one. We have umpteen number of online sites for guidance and reference. For not so net savvy people, we have a number of urban gardeners on the rise to help you give hands-on training and support with a minimal consulting cost.
Now for those with time constraint, I am sure squeezing in half an hour (15 minutes in the morning and 15 min in the evening) won’t be such a hassle. Just take a break from your facebook and whatsapp and see how much time you can save in a day and the plus point is, you not only get a zen feeling of calm and peace while gardening, you experience a euphoria when you see something grow…from a tiny seed to a sapling, to a plant bearing flowers and then the flowers turning to fruits…oh what a feeling of accomplishment!!! Now that’s definitely worth sharing with your friends on facebook. I am sure you will agree.
So, imagine growing your own vegies and knowing what’s in them while you relish your dishes without any doubts of chemical contamination…feeding your family without doubting the nutritional content and freeing yourself of the constant worry of feeding poisonous chemical in the name of nourishment to your young kids…Isn’t that worth a little time and space in your busy schedule.
Imagine never having to rush to the nearest store for vegetables (saving on petrol is just a side-effect...err....benefit) or ordering one day ahead on those highly popular door delivery portals which are dime-a-dozen, mushrooming all over the city (aptly targeted at people like us making us lazier by the day)
Imagine a terrace garden or balcony garden in every household…Not only will the chemical menace stop, our needs will be met more economically, instantly and in an eco-friendly manner. How gratifying…
