Residing in Metropolitan city and enjoying the nature by sitting at home is a wonderful experience. In few of my previous posts I have share about my front garden and plantation. These days I am working on ROOF GARDEN very seriously to utilize the available on the Roof and to protect my house from hot summer.

I am using cocopit to grow the vegetable plants, so daily water pouring is not required, you can give water in every three days is enough. And now my house inside temperature is also 2 to 3 degrees lesser then my neighbors.

Nature lover’s please share your valuable feedback and suggestions by commenting below.

Thanks @Kousalya for the comment.

Thee simple tips for Roof Garden:

  1. Use plastics bags instead of Pots. (Bags will occupy less space)

  2. Use Cocopit to grow plants. (For very less water consumption)

  3. Grow leaves vegetable. (So you can use the entire plants)

What are your favorite vegetables?
