Raipur: For those who extreme dislikes dust around the house, here’s a quick remedy.<\/p>\n
A scientist in India’s central Raipur city has productively grown a variety of fruits and vegetables from the dust accumulated in his terrace-garden.<\/p>\n
The trial of growing plants on dust began after Aggarwal happened to visit his inherited house and witness an array of small plants growing on a thick layer of dust on the terrace.<\/p>\n
Aggarwal quickly applied certain scientific principles, which supported the cause of growing plants even on dust using nutrients there in atmospheric air.<\/p>\n
Though roots of any plant growing in dust cannot expand like to that of a potted plant, it was sufficient for Aggarwal to prove his point to non-believers.<\/p>\n
“Initially, I grew vegetables in the dust. I have grown an 8-10 kilogram pumpkin, a six-kilo bottle gourd, cauliflower and cabbages on an experimental basis. But because there was no space for the roots to grow, I cut them after one or two flowerings. Slowly, I graduated to growing flowers and fruits and now I am growing ornamental flowers.”<\/p>\n
Initially wary of his eager interest, Aggarwal’s passion has established acceptance with his wife, who no longer minds his eagerness to broom the house unlike any other conservative Indian wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
