Start your little organic farm

One of the biggest hassles we had to face during lockdown was access to fresh produce. The struggle to find fresh vegetables was so hectic that most people were willing to pay any amount to have some fresh vegetables.

To start off begin by preparing the soil. You can use compost to prepare the soil. You can begin by initially growing in small pots and later on moving the little saplings to a soil pan. Make sure to water the plants daily and monitor them. To further increase the yield you can use several techniques which create an ideal environment for the growth of the plant. Use of grow lights and automated water sprinklers will assist you in obtaining a yield. Gradually you can adapt the concept of vertical farming. This concept helps to obtain a huge yield from a compact space as plants are stacked upwards.
