Tower Gardening Training at SKC
In this blog post we would like to share the simple process (with pictures) of how you too can utilize a small space to create a beautiful garden...
1) Take a drum/bucket (as shown in the picture) and do the marking and cut.
2) Make some holes at the bottom of the drum for water drainage.
On November 20, 2015, Seva Kendra Calcutta (SKC) organised a training session on "Tower Gardening". Mr. Tim Fialkowski and Mr. Brody Joly from Australlia came to SKC as trainers who taught the participants how to grow numerous plants in a very small space.They explained the whole concept of tower gardening and said, "In this day and age where the idea of global climate change and the efforts to be "green" are becoming more prevalent, educating the public about tower gardening and implementing them could make a positive environmental impact. Also, when there is a shortage of space for growing various plants, tower gardening is the best option."

In this blog post we would like to share the simple process (with pictures) of how you too can utilize a small space to create a beautiful garden...
1) Take a drum/bucket (as shown in the picture) and do the marking and cut.
3) Place the tube with holes in it in the center of the drum/bucket.
4) Add soil around the tube (not inside the tube).
5) An important step, adding of worms in the tube to increase the fertility of the soil. The tube must be covered with newspaper to protect the worms from direct sunlight.
6) Add water to the soil every alternative day (not inside the tube).
7) Plant the different seedlings you want to.
Seva Kendra wishes that more people try this art of gardening. This can positively impact the health of an entire family as well as the community.
