FRONT AND BACK GARDENS
Lots of people who grow veggies probably use their back garden but what about all of that available space in the front?

A lawn can look lovely but wouldn’t lots of fruits and vegetables look even better? If you only have a small space in the front of your house you can utilize containers for growing veggies.
It can also be a lovely way to cultivate friendships with passers by….it could even be the start of a community growing group where you coordinate who grows what.
Once you’ve decided what to grow, the next step is where are you going to grow it. If you’re fortunate, you’ll have a lovely garden with space to plant everything but sometimes you might need to get a bit creative and think outside the box.

سبزیاں اُگانے سے پہلے مٹی کی تیاری کیسے کریں ؟
1۔ سبزیاں اگانے کے لیے مٹی بہت نرم اور بُھربُھری ہونی چاہیے۔
2۔ سخت اور چکنی مٹی میں بیج اچھی طرح نہیں اگ سکتے، اگر جرمینیٹ ہو بھی جائیں تو ان کی جڑیں آسانی سے نہیں پھیلتیں۔

3۔ اگر کمپوسٹ، پیٹ ماس، یا ناریل کے چھلکے کا چُورا (کوکوپیٹ) آپ کے پاس نہیں ہے تو مٹی، بھل مٹی، ریت اور خشک گوبر کا مکسچر سب سے بہترین اور سستا رہتا ہے۔ اس کا تناسب اس طرح رکھیں۔
مٹی۔۔۔ 50 فیصد
ریت۔۔۔ 30 فیصد
خشک گوبر۔۔ 20 فیصد

4۔ سمجھ دار گارڈنرز اپنے پاس ایک سیزن پہلے یعنی سردیوں کی سبزیاں لگانے کے لیے گرمیوں میں ہی مٹی کے اس مکسچر کا کچھ سٹاک (ایک دو بورے) اپنے پاس جمع رکھتے ہیں

In a paper published in Foodborne Pathogens and Illness, discusses the hygiene hypothesis, which they say first began being bandied about in the mid-1900s & has increased in credibility among doctors and other experts.
According to these researchers: “This hypothesis states that a lack of exposure of children (as well as adults) to diet, commensalism bacteria, & minor pathogenic insults results in an immune system that does not function normally.
This lack of antibodies to true pathogens in the immune system has resulted in the dramatic increase in allergies and asthma in developed country over the past 20 years.”
