Step 1: Choose Your Gardening Space

• Outdoor Garden: If you have a yard, set aside a small patch of soil for vegetables or herbs.

• Balcony or Rooftop Garden: Use pots, vertical planters, or hanging baskets.

• Indoor Garden: Grow herbs like basil, mint, and rosemary in small containers near a sunny window.

Step 2: Pick Easy-to-Grow Crops

For beginners, these plants are low-maintenance and grow quickly:

• Tomatoes

• Spinach

• Carrots

• Peppers

• Herbs

Step 3: Use Compost to Reduce Waste

Instead of throwing away fruit peels, eggshells, and vegetable scraps, turn them into compost!
How to compost at home:

• Collect kitchen scraps in a bin.

• Add dry materials like leaves or newspaper.

• Keep it aerated and moist—nature does the rest!

Step 4: Harvest & Store Wisely

• Pick vegetables at their peak to reduce spoilage.

• Store food properly (e.g., carrots in damp sand, herbs frozen in olive oil).

• Share excess produce with neighbors or donate to food banks.

By growing your own food, you cut waste and create a greener, healthier lifestyle!
