Gardeners grow multiple flowering plants, vegetable plants, fruit trees at a time. I mean if you ever visit a 5-year-old home garden then you will definitely see there are almost every possible type of plant available. If a gardener loves flowering plants then he/she will bring various types of flowering plants in the garden. In case you visit a vegetable garden then you will notice various types of vegetable plants in the same garden. Some people are one step ahead. They keep all ornamental plants, flowering plants, vegetable plants, fruit plants in their garden. But experts say that every plant needs different care and different soil to grow well. I think it is almost impossible for a person with minimum knowledge of gardening. I also believe that I can not do so. I tried but that made me busy all the time. Still, there will be many plants that are not healthy. That is why I follow natural gardening, rather I would say zero knowledge/experience natural gardening.
Many people follow natural farming where people use ghan jeevamrit, jeevamrit, matural micronutrients & natural pesticides. Many people are doing that successfully.
If they can do that for their livelihood then why I could not do so in gardening. But problem was that I can not get fresh cow dung & cow urine. More importantly, it is very difficult to deal with cow dung & cow urine.
So the alternative choice in urban areas is vermi compost. Vermicompost also contains plenty of beneficial microbes.
So I replace it with vermi compost. Though initially it needs basic knowledge and learns how to make vermi compost tea instead of jeevamrit. Sometimes many people do not get vermi compost too at their locality. In some areas, vermi compost is too costly to afford for some people. So many people may need to use various oil cakes like mustard cake, groundnut cake to make liquid fertilizer.
Then I use insecticides like dashparni ark, agniastra, neemastra & Brahmastra. I prepare dashparni ark for the whole season at a time because it can be stored for 6 months. I use old buttermilk instead of chemical fungicide.
I shared the methods for preparing those pesticides in my previous posts. But I think there are so many recipes for those insecticides available on the internet. You just need to search those names on Google.
I use homemade natural micronutrients as well as PGR.
So I follow the same soil & the same care for all plants. So I do not bother about different types of products for different plants. I experienced that when I grow multiple plants then any experience/knowledge is less experience/knowledge. So I follow this natural gardening what needs almost zero knowledge or experience and zero cost too.
I do not want my plant producing more than what it can produce naturally. So I want healthy & natural plants. No knowledge, no experience is needed because nature does not need human assistance. Only happiness in gardening. Go green if you love green & care green.
