Singapore Rooftop Herb Garden

The secret to successful growing of food is experimentation, love and organic fertilizer. I grow seeds in different areas of the house and garden, then plant them in different pots and place in different parts of the rooftop and water differently until it works. Also we make organic fertilizer using a worm compost.

Check out the latest updates and how to grow everything on my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5ZSF6PU7ExVi1DrNUs4U2hm9aEchAM2I
