Growing of vegetables around or near house for household use is “Kitchen Gardening”. This method is used to grow that vegetables and fruits that we can grow in our house or in our backyard or we can also adopt advance method of Rooftop Gardening that does not require an extra place to grow vegetables.

“A vegetable garden in the beginning looks so promising and then after all little by little it grows nothing but vegetables, nothing, nothing but vegetables.”

Due to ever increasing population and increase in demand of vegetables, farmers have adapted new techniques to increase per unit vegetables production. This involves use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Although, production of vegetables has increase at farm level, but quality of vegetables is seriously affected. Moreover, irrigation of vegetables with sewage water in per urban areas has arose serious health concerns for consumers. Hence, purpose of kitchen gardening is to produce organic vegetables free of any pesticides and chemicals for domestic use

We practically implement our work and guide people about Kitchen Gardening. Many of them were using the old method of growing vegetables and applying fertilizer for the growth of their crops and to avoid insect attack. No doubt applying fertilizer is easy way to get rid of insects but it also harm our crops and add chemicals in vegetables also.

Fertilizer does no good in a heap, but a little spread around works miracles all over.

Fertilizer can act as a miracle but they also harm the crops and ultimately affect our health also when we eat that vegetables that contain fertilizers. So we introduce the method of using Manure for the healthy plant growths. Firstly people were not accepting it as it require little effort to apply manure to our crops or vegetables but then we guide them and also tell them the uses of using Composite (manure) for plants as first it is the cheapest and doesn't require you to spend cost foe buying it, Secondly it will also be beneficial for plant health as well as human health.
