My Balcony Garden: Permaculture in an apartment
I recently fell down the rabbit-hole of permaculture , which is a short-form for permanent agriculture. This is basically a way of cultivation that uses the environment around it to make the process regenerative. It's designed to use nature to give back what we get out of the process, and I find that extremely fascinating. To me, it seems like the perfect cycle; you grow what you eat ethically and sustainably, giving back to the soil in the process. Human want is such an interesting thing, isn't it? When I stayed in smaller apartments earlier, all I wanted was a balcony, so I could have a few plants. Now that I have a balcony (which is quite a luxury in Mumbai), I long for a backyard to grow some of my own food! Not wanting to be limited with my small space, I researched into practices that one can adopt in their apartment. And to my joyous surprise, I found that I am already implementing some of these!
