    Hi it seems that the OP has not replied to any of the posts. But seeing the sheer enthusiasm to this thread made respond to it.

    I am a terrace gardener and grow lots of vegetables at home organically. By organic vegetables, I mean that I do not use any chemical fertiliser to bloat my vegetables. All of them are grown in containers, with natural supplements.

    Inorder to start, you need a few pots, good sunlight, a good potting medium and seeds! Once we all are in the same page I will take it further..

    I would love to guide any one of you, who need any help. :thumbsup

    Hi vjbunny,

    I use compost as a natural growing medium to grow vegetables. Apart from that Iregularly supplement different vegetables as and when they grow(blooming or growing stage).

    Are you currenlty growing any vegges that you need specific help for?

    I donot prefer composting myself due to lack of space. I buy compost from 3 different sources in bangalore, so that i get a good mix of sources.

    I use a variety of things to make my potting mix. It ranges from red soil, compost, perilite, cocopeat, vermiculite and manure. Sometimes its a combination or one or two ingredients. They differ for different vegetables. Like tomatoes need calcium supplements where as cabbage needs nitrogen supplements.

    Let me know the vegetables that you are planning to grow such that i can guide you further on that..:thumbsup
