Week 1 - Setting up basic things

I started with some random planting from last 2 weeks but as expected, things didn't move further after some initial start. I planed coriander in 2 pots and in one open area near my house.  The one is open area did not germinate. May be ants or some insects ate it or whatever.  The pot ones came up well and grew really nicely for 2/3 weeks. But the soil I used was just normal soil which had very less ingredients required to grow anything. So, soon, it started weathering. Then after some reading and asking people, I got to know about fertilisers and pest control options. Since I want to grow everything organic, I made sure the fertiliser and pesticide is chemical free. I ordered following from amazon- TrustBasket Organic Vermicompost Fertilizer Manure for Plants - 5 KG Ugaoo Cow Manure - 1 Kg TrustBasket Enriched Premium Organic Earth Magic Potting Soil Mix with Required Fertilizers for Plants - 10 KG TrustBasket Neem Cake Powder Organic Fertilizer and Pest Repellent for Plants...

Week 0 - The Beginning & Why

During the lockdown, I started thinking about growing vegetables.  Since I have no prior knowledge of farming, instead of spending huge money on buying land etc, I thought of starting it off from my home balcony.  This blog is to keep weekly update report of what I am doing, how I am doing, what is going well, what is not working etc. I am an amateur in this field. Don't expect any answers from me on anything. But I can be an inspiration if you want to try something similar.
