The Green Living

It’s so selfish of a human being to pollute the mother earth with the chemicals in air, water and land. I remember reading in some book – ‘We do not own this planet, we have borrowed this from our future generations’. It’s high time for us to follow the earth friendly measures as much as possible. I have always dreamt of having an Organic Kitchen Garden. So far I have been successful. I would want to do more with the household waste we like kitchen waste and grass clippings. I am glad that the Utilities Department provides the compost bin free of cost to encourage composting, which I have installed and waiting for the ready compost.

It’s an interesting to know the nature has its own way to make fertilizer with bugs, critters and worms. I remember collecting the earthworms during rainy season (when I was a kid), and leaving all of them near the couple of plants I planted. And not to mention they were healthier than the other ones. I have done so much research on how to start worm composting, and I am all set for it. The hardest part is convincing D, who is little hesitant to get the worms inside thinking we will get bugs, flies and fruit flies. Moreover, Jr. has been asking for pets for quite a long time. I think it would be a great idea to get the worms for me and as worms for Jr. I have decided to get the red worms this Saturday and the start my own composting bin. Having a lovely garden and planning to expand it much more, I have a gut feeling worm composting would help me in a great way. With dry heat and not so good quality mud for the plant, I would want to get the organic fertilizer for no or minimal cost. And give something back to mother earth without contaminating it.
