Cancer Prevention: Some studies suggest that compounds in broccoli can help prevent certain types of cancer.
Heart Health: Broccoli can support cardiovascular health by improving cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation.

How to Plant Broccoli on a Rooftop
1. Preparation:
Container: Choose large containers (at least 5 gallons) with good drainage holes.
Soil: Use well-draining, nutrient-rich potting soil mixed with compost.
2. Planting:
Seeds or Seedlings: Start with seeds or young broccoli plants (seedlings).
Spacing: Plant seeds ½ inch deep, or transplant seedlings with a spacing of 18-24 inches apart.
3. Location:
Sunlight: Ensure the rooftop receives full sun (at least 6-8 hours daily).
Wind Protection: Use barriers to protect plants from strong winds.
4. Watering:
Consistent Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Watering Schedule: Water regularly, especially during dry periods.
5. Feeding:
Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to support growth.
Compost: Add compost to the soil to enhance nutrient content.
6. Maintenance:
Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and any diseased parts of the plant.
Pest Control: Check for pests like aphids and caterpillars and use organic methods to control them.
7. Harvesting:
Timing: Harvest when the heads are firm and tight before the flowers bloom.
Cutting: Use a sharp knife to cut the main head, leaving the plant to produce side shoots for additional harvests.
By following these steps, you can enjoy a healthy, home-grown supply of broccoli right from your rooftop garden.
