BENEFITS OF KITCHEN GARDEN
Due to awareness most of the peoples buy organic vegetables these days to ensure freshness. Vegetables which are grown in our garden are fresh, healthy and free from pesticides. By creating a little kitchen garden of your own you feel that the problem of chemicals in food can be tackled via a few potted plants. The manure of the kitchen garden can be supplemented by kitchen waste and sweepings. If we inoculate it with vermiculture it would enrich the soil.
