Transform Your Rooftop into a Lush Kitchen Garden with These Expert Tips

• Select a spot receiving 5-6 hours of daily sunlight; plant sun-loving vegetables like tomatoes or leafy greens in appropriate areas.
• Use lightweight pots (plastic, grow bags) with drainage holes to prevent roof stress and root rot, and protect plants from strong winds.
• Prepare an ideal soil mix: 40% soil, 40% cow dung manure, 20% sand/coco peat, as recommended by Dr. C.K. Tripathi, for fertility and aeration.
• Ensure proper watering, regular organic fertilization, and plant seasonal vegetables for optimal growth and yield.
• Start your rooftop garden with a few plants and gradually expand as you gain experience.
