I appreciate your effort for making this video more comprehensive and understandable to every viewers. In regards to your ideas, I found it very convincing. You did a great job!
It was a great learning experience. Thanks Rishi.I have also developed an organic terrace garden on the seventh floor of our building (In Mumbai) by recycling kitchen waste and other waste like plastic, discarded building bamboos, brick debris etc. This video will show that you can get amazing yields even in pots on a terrace. Here’s the link. Organic Terrace Gardening
U given a cape of good hope thanks..unfortunately u didn't complete is vary sad.U explained that u moved to another project. But the next step of sure u can't show in video, so please put a nice explained note....Expecting soon thanks...
I had a limited yield and was not able to grow too much vegetables. Also the earthworms got eaten by rats. :) So as I mentioned I canned this project and switched to moving on land and creating an eco village - suryagram.sulins.org
After you watch the video, the rest is quite easy. Just put the seeds in the soil and put water in the pipe twice a month. Also when you put earthworms in the soil they will automatically go inside in about 10 minutes. Just make sure you have enough organic veg waste in the worm bin. That's all there is to it. My blog whoisrishi.com Sustainable Living Indians - sulins.org
Sir,excellent video....But I have a doubt...whether cocopeat is enough to get good yield..does it require any red sand....?pls confirm..I very interested to one garden in our house...
I had a limited yield and was not able to grow too much vegetables. Also the earthworms got eaten by rats. :) So as I mentioned I canned this project and switched to moving on land and creating an eco village - suryagram.sulins.org
I actually upgraded this project. Now we're buying land and moving out of the city to live in harmony with nature. :) See website for more info suryagram.sulins.org Also there are many ways one can make a lot of money living in remote areas of the country... i.e. if that is still a goal / concern for some individuals. :)
Where is this Suryagram? Is it somewhere near Mumbai? Can i come and visit? Would like to some things from you and adapt at my farm on Khopoli Pali rd in Raigad dist in Maharashtra.
This is a fabulous inclusion of several techniques! I had a question, are you watering the Coco peat with RO water or a nutrient rich solution, similar to what are used in Hydroponics?
hi rishi !!! this is Durgesh here from 10 A, St.Marys, abu.good to see you .just surfing around for terrace garden and i came across your video.where are you?
Hi Rishi, Your video is inspirational, can you suggest from where i can get the coco peat in delhi. And is coco peat is self sufficient. No soil is required along with it? Regards Piyush Mangla

@@permaspace in Mumbai there are many place where things are recycled. Kurla is known for old water tanks among other things. So you'll have to ask around in Ludhinana. It's not a shop. It's a market place. There are many people who are doing this business in Kurla. One has to get there and ask around. Hope you find someone like this in Ludhiana
A good video on a very nice project, but you did go wrong on the coco-peat/water ratio and you know it because you cut the video before we could see that. ;) You were basically creating coco-peat slush. There is no way that just one of those blocks will be enough to create a grow medium. You should have shown that, before other people make the same mistake. Otherwise, it's a good video.
To get really healthy and nutritious vegetables and fruit organic is the way to go because you look after the soil and thus the health of the plant, just my opinion. Got a few hints and tips on my channel.
Hi Kunal, Sorry but I canned this project and decided to start a project to setup an eco village instead. It's called SuryaGram. Type "suryagram eco village" on Google and you'll find it.

The concept is good but the system made for earthworms doesn't work. One more thing is clear that coco pet is only the media for low weight good drainage and very poor in nutrition. This doesn't work good for plants. This is my personal experience

Really wished you had a part 2, part 3. This video is adventurous :) Curious, How was your yield? I have seen rooftop farming quite different from you - in the sense, not hydroponic. they use coco-peat to act as a mulch, they use pots because roots will just spread (that 1x1 ft line is just a political boundary :), but in the rhyzosphere, it looked like a mess specially radish, spinach and asparagus ).

Hey Rishi Gangoly, It looks really cool, your project! What a shame the rats should have gotten the better of it! How about keeping some cats? I have lots of fun with my seven and they keep me free of rats and other rodents, snakes or scorpions. Anyway I would assume that you'll have rats in the country side as well - among others. I have friends that brought a black mice/rat-eating snake home (it is otherwise not dangerous or poisonous) and ever since everybody is happy... Pest control can become really tricky when you want to go green, but this is the challenge! (Or at least one of them) I saw a good movie on pest control here on youtube. Check it out: How to Make Hot Pepper Spray to Deter Garden Critters & Trapping Coons Lots of success, Chaya Susanne (P.S. Surya means sun, right? And what is -gram? Just curious!)
Chaya Susanne Golan Yes. Surya is Sun and Gram is Village ... So a village powered by the Sun. :) BTW, that journey has taken a turn. I am no longer a part of SuryaGram. Some people are still pursuing that idea. I've moved on to spending a lot of my time at Sapna Ranch. For more information see EBHLE - ebhle.com Experienced Based Holistic Learning Environment I working on creating a Food Forest in Sapna Ranch.
Agram is a different word altogether it is samskrit word too.. Gives different meaning based on the usage like top, big, end etc.. By the way I just have a very minimal basic knowledge of samskrit.

Nice guruji
Sir,excellent video....But I have a doubt...whether cocopeat is enough to get good yield..does it require any red sand....?pls confirm..I very interested to one garden in our house...
So cocopeat only helps with retaining the water. The Verm compost part is what makes the veggies grow.
nice work. can u up load a new video of the water tank garden. just to see how is looks now
You really inspired about gardening. Thank you soooooooo much.
What is the fillings, and filling procedure after this part 1 sirji??

Hi Rishi,
Your video is inspirational, can you suggest from where i can get the coco peat in delhi. And is coco peat is self sufficient. No soil is required along with it?
Regards
Piyush Mangla
We do need a layer of vermicompost on top of the coco peat.
Here is a link to source the coco peat online.
goo.gl/PtdiOG
Piyush Mangla No you do need to kick start with Vermi Compost along with the Coco Peat. See Green Tech Life for more information - greetechlife.in
Rishi Gangoly You can order it online from Amazon.in ... Click this link for details - goo.gl/nCmCuk

very nice. can you provide it in pakistan?
So sorry. Can't do that.

One more thing is clear that coco pet is only the media for low weight good drainage and very poor in nutrition. This doesn't work good for plants. This is my personal experience
ranjit kumar then what soil mix do u suggest sir?
I mentioned that you have to add Vermi Compost as well.
Vermi compost
What veggies can we grow?
Most veggies will grow in it
HI,
Impressed, where do we get the coco soil, what is it brand name? can you please provide supplier name?
You can use any. Just go to a Nursery. They will sell it to you.
