Steep rise in price of vegetables in Chennai - ChennaiOnline News
what prompted me to open this thread was this article in chennaionline today.
that most of us TBs are vegetarians is a default answer. to that extent, we are held hostage by powers over which we have no control and which are detailed in the article referred above.
the powers, to summarize, are weather, decreasing acreage, greed.
may i humbly suggest, that each of us, in what little open space we have, grow something that we can partake of in our meals.
the simplistic approach is for herbs - kothamalli, karuveppilai and some miniature keerais. there are certain vegetables which are prolific - vellari, podalai, tomato, moLagai. others like potato, carrot, onion, need no care. the enterprising one can even attempt at saffron !!!!!!!!
then, there is this whole concept of hydroponic. where the veggie are grown on nutrient water, without any soil.
i think, even one morsel of what we consume, if it comes out of our own effort, will go a long way, in resolving our karma.
i appeal to the public to consider seriously, about using their little garden, sunlight and above all their sense of succour, to grow something that they can consume themselves. and even better, share it with their neighbours, kith, and kin.
thank you.
