Beat the Heat: Keep Your Kitchen Garden Thriving This Summer!

• Water plants before sunrise or after sunset; avoid midday to prevent root shock.
• Use mulching (dry leaves, straw, coconut husks) to retain soil moisture, reducing watering by 40%.
• Install an agro net or green net for roof gardens to filter sunlight and reduce temperature by 5-7 degrees.
• Opt for liquid organic fertilizers like cow dung solution; avoid heavy chemical ones to prevent root burn.
• Combat pests like spider mites with neem oil spray and provide support for climbing vines.
