Over his rooftop 30 feet above the ground, the professor has also made a small tub for fish farming, a rooftop vegetable, and a flower garden for growing different vegetables including lettuce, spinach, turnip, green chili, beans, beetroot, okra, brinjal, tomato.
Along with the vegetable garden, Professor and his wife have grown a flower garden where winter season flowers like Petunia can be seen in sunny weather.
“Petunia usually stays for a month or two, but the one was grown organically bloomed for four months and had survived the Rainy Season, all because of the organic and healthy ways of plant growing,” Mondal continued further.
He also said that on the rooftop, the plants get direct sunlight which helps protect them from various insects, pests, and fungus.
He suggested, “One should always utilize the space, however small or large it is, for growing organic crops as it would helpful for the economy, environment, and one’s own health, in the long run.” (ANI)
