  • HOW TO to create a low cost rooftop vegetable garden using an old water tank. I managed to get it constructed in about Rupees 8000 and paid the guy about Rupees 2000 for labor to get it working.
    After you watch the video, the rest is quite easy. Just put the seeds in the soil and put water in the pipe twice a month. Also when you put earthworms in the soil they will automatically go inside in about 10 minutes. Just make sure you have enough organic veg waste in the worm bin. That's all there is to it.

    It was a great learning experience. Thanks Rishi.I have also developed an organic terrace garden on the seventh floor of our building (In Mumbai) by recycling kitchen waste and other waste like plastic, discarded building bamboos, brick debris etc. This video will show that you can get amazing yields even in pots on a terrace. Here’s the link.

    A good video on a very nice project, but you did go wrong on the coco-peat/water ratio and you know it because you cut the video before we could see that. ;)
    You were basically creating coco-peat slush. There is no way that just one of those blocks will be enough to create a grow medium. You should have shown that, before other people make the same mistake. Otherwise, it's a good video.

    Really wished you had a part 2, part 3. This video is adventurous :) Curious, How was your yield? I have seen rooftop farming quite different from you - in the sense, not hydroponic. they use coco-peat to act as a mulch, they use pots because roots will just spread (that 1x1 ft line is just a political boundary :), but in the rhyzosphere, it looked like a mess specially radish, spinach and asparagus ).

      So cocopeat only helps with retaining the water. The Verm compost part is what makes the veggies grow.

    Hey Rishi Gangoly,
    It looks really cool, your project! What a shame the rats should have gotten the better of it! How about keeping some cats? I have lots of fun with my seven and they keep me free of rats and other rodents, snakes or scorpions. Anyway I would assume that you'll have rats in the country side as well - among others. I have friends that brought a black mice/rat-eating snake home (it is otherwise not dangerous or poisonous) and ever since everybody is happy...
    Pest control can become really tricky when you want to go green, but this is the challenge! (Or at least one of them)
    I saw a good movie on pest control here on youtube. Check it out:
    How to Make Hot Pepper Spray to Deter Garden Critters & Trapping Coons
    Lots of success,
