In order to combat with the rising vegetable prices, Tamil Nadu Government has come up with an innovative plan. It has planned to distribute free do-it-yourself kits of roof garden to all residents so that they can pluck fresh vegetables from their own gardens. This plan is initially to be introduced in Chennai and Coimbatore cities.
The horticulture department of Tamil Nadu will distribute the roof top garden kit that contains 20 UV sterilized polyethylene bags of 200 micron thickness, coir pith and manure for 15kg, seeds for vegetables and greens along with organic fertilizer, instruments, and a 20sqm polyethylene sheet.
