Hyderabad Woman Grows Fruits on Terrace

Elizabeth Kota, a 47-year-old woman from Hyderabad, started a terrace garden during the lockdown in 2020.

She grows a variety of fruits like figs, grapes, passion fruits, pineapples, and five types of mangoes.

She uses organic methods to grow her fruits, mixing red soil, river sand, cow dung, and neem cake for the potting mix.

She also uses kitchen compost, vermicompost, and cow dung as fertilizers.

Her garden is used for her household and shared with family and friends.

She plans to start organic farming on leased land and offers consultations to help others set up their own terrace gardens.

She also has a YouTube channel called Eli’s World, where she shares her farming techniques and tips.
