Although Tamil Nadu is moving rapidly towards urbanisation, there is still a sense of agriculture among the urban population. Proof of that is the rooftop gardens found on the floors of tall buildings in cities.
Be it a bustling big city or a small town, setting up and maintaining a terraced garden is not only for mental happiness but also a self-sustaining economy. We get a great joy and satisfaction when we grow and use vegetables, spinach and fruits for our daily food needs in our house.
We usually see vegetables and plants growing in the rooftop garden, but growing lettuce is very rare. Some people want to plant spinach but give up because they don’t know how to plant it or how to grow it.
Want to plant lettuce in your backyard garden? Here are folk singer Anita Kuppusamy’s tips on how to plant spinach in a terraced garden.
He says that a little river sand is enough to plant spinach in the rooftop garden. Anita Kuppusamy has shown on YouTube how to sow spinach seeds in a terraced garden.
First, buy a garden bag for planting lettuce. This garden bag is available online. Take river sand and put it in the garden bag where there are holes. Then sprinkle river soil widely. Then take compost soil and add three quarters of it. Then take a teaspoon of spinach seeds and sprinkle them with your finger. Then cover the soil lightly with your hands. Then, take the water and spray it lightly with your hands.
Do not take water as it is and pour it. Water should be sprinkled with hands for 2-3 days. That’s all, you will be overwhelmed with joy to see the green sprouts.
