    Dear Shanthi mam, i have a seriou doubt with regard to terrace gardening. IS this affects the surface like any leakages etc, because i was before kept some pots in the terrace, like tulasi, nanthiyavatai, arali etc but ours is flat system and later i thought it may affect their roofing hence i brought them down in the ground floor car parking area.
    So watering minimum amount of water also will damage the roofing? any idea?

    i keep moving the pots around.. and i ensure i cut the roots a little when i repot.. that way i take care of the roof. and apart from that i don't allow water to stagnate.. clean up the leaves, the moss every 15 days.. right now don't have this garden dear..will be starting in a month or two when my back pain becomes manageable.

    We have just started terrace gardening. My husband believes in Indian flowers and veggies to be grown only. Its a real pleasure spending time in garden.
