    Dear Rith,
    We collect biodegradable things like vegetable and fruit peels, left out meals, filtered coffee and tea in a container and add soil or cowdung after some layers and within 30/40 days it turns no powder. We keep the container in Sun light covered. We buy kadalainpunnaakku (groundnut oil cake) and overnight we soak it in water and next morning we lay a tablespoon of it to all plants.

    Dear Mals,
    These pictures are very old and we were staying at our own independent house then. In 2008 we have shifted to a flat and yet our passion for garden not diminished. Staying on the top floor we use the terrace for our passion as none was using it. My dh is very much interested in gardening and we both are spending 30 to 45 mins in watering and tending to the plants and gathering flowers for our Deities. We also get vitamin D in the mild morning Sunlight and out in the open enjoying the flora and fauna in the terrace.
    PS
