Excerpt:

Having understood the basic principles of urban farming, he started his own research and experimented with various models which has now taken shape as J-garden, a social enterprise. J-Garden provides kitchen garden installations and related equipment.

Over the last six months, Chandra has done eight installations for families in individual homes and apartments and one for a group of social engineers in a bank colony.

Of his experience so far, Chandra says it has been good and he feels people are becoming increasingly aware of the food they eat, where it comes from, what happens to it and other related issues.

He believes that organic terrace gardening is a simple and powerful means for the middle class to roll up their sleeves and get more involved with issues concerning their lives, rather than sit back and lament or be indifferent.

I really like the layout of the garden- raised beds definitely work better even if they are expensive…out of interest, how much expenditure is incurred on the featured beds?

Our kitchen garden on the roof is a basic brick structure with mulch cloth and costs next to nothing
