Hi dimers,
if anyone planted already/ have done planting them on terrace... please drop your suggestions/ review about the hardness/ actual fruiting on terrace.
i got inspired from people on youtube who are growing lots of fruits on terrace with organic pesticide/fertilizers so go this idea and im in planning making it reality.
Thanks

Vegetables plants in general not trees with some exceptions
How big the planters (pots) going to be. As in, are there any space constraints?
What protection from the elements is being planned, if any, at the location?
Have had usual vegetables and stuff grown at a larger family home.
But not fruits, in the past four-five years.
Spinach, mint, coriander, green chillies, tomato (some consider it fruit), leafy onions, garlic and even germinated grains/ lentils we had.. for morning wheatgrass concoction.
Old, properly cleaned and repressed wall paint buckets were used (for fun, trial) to sow lemon and custard apple (chirimoya / seetaphal/ shareefa) seeds and there were mixed successes. A lot depends on weather, timing (season in which sown), quality of the seed, the soil tyoe and care, besides when to show sharp sunlight and when to use shade.
start with plants first.
tomato/tomatoes is my suggestion. It is indeed a fruit used with/along vegetables.
Best in what sense?
Instead of industrial fertilizer, often vermicompost is preferred.
It will take lot of effort and care to do terrace pot gardening .
Vermicompost from market and homemade kitchen compost is more than enough besides checking on pests and controlling them.
Guava , papaya , strawberry , lemons , pomegranate, banana etc can be grown in bigger grow bags or chemical blue drums
What kind of fruits are you talking about? Fruit farming is long term process. You may loose patience.

Yes. Youtube comment turnout ratio is too less and may need to wait months to get actual reply or wait eternally for reply. Here i asked if anyone actually doing it and getting results.
In Ytube no one actually shows the actual pedticide/fertilizer used and use chemicals when they are not recording. So just wanted to ask dimers it can be done via organics and also plants to actually grow

There is a FB group for Bangalore terrace gardeners.. called Organic Terrace Gardening. They are very active and you will get a lot of insights. They also meet regularly. Check it out.
