Terrace Gardening of Vegetables

Abstract

In the present scenario, urban areas are covered with many multi-storied buildings due to the increase in the population and shift of population to cities for livelihood. This created shortage of land available for cultivation of household vegetables by kitchen gardening. The best solution for this is terrace gardening in which vegetables are grown on terraces, balconies or roofs of buildings through effective utilization of vertical space. Terrace gardening modifies the microclimate of the building and provides clean air in the urban areas, thus improving the health of urban people.
