I
had been waiting for this event ever since I had started my project.
OOTA FROM YOUR THOTA is an event which deals with organic vegetable
gardening in not only terrace but in balcony too. They share their
experiences and knowledge. These people have their own garden and are
there to share their experience and they also had brought their pots
which had various types of vegetables and herbs growing like iceberg
lettuce, basil , tomatoes , radish etc. When I started looking around
in the first stall I found these vegetables being grown in tubs and
half cut drums.
There were so many questions I wanted to ask
regarding herbs and why few seeds like cabbage doesn't grow??? After
talking to them I realized that certain herbs are difficult to grow
and has certain methodology to be followed to get them growing.
Coriander and parsley are herbs that are difficult to grow. You need
to soak them before you grow them. Also this place was full of
enthusiast like us. Other stall dealt with people who sold starter
kits and also seeds and other guidance regarding starting up
vegetable/herb garden. This place were full of experts some where
experts in herbs and others in other vegetables.
There was also a
stall by daily dump who guide about composting and also provided with
the containers in which you can do composting. Some stalls provided
with organic products like products made out of turmeric etc. They
even told me about the workshop that will be held on 22nd
of September where they give all sort of tips to do organic gardening
and also they will even provide with starter kit with seeds and other
supplies like organic nutrients etc and more. It was very
enlightening experience.
