Planting the saplings

Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on.

I frequently do it. Making a pot and then planting the sapling. Then taking care of the plant so that it grows well.

Making a pot is most tedious job. First you have to get good red soil and then mix it with wormi compost & few moisture absorbents like saw dust etc. I remember my childhood days when I make the pots because I get a chance to play with soil and water.

Then take an empty pot , ensure that there is vent or hole at the bottom of the pot for extra water to drain , then put some shells or dry wood pieces over the hole so that it does not get blocked. This is very important else the roots will be spoiled by excess water. Once the bottom hole is covered we can pour the potting mix which we have created by mixing soil and manure. Once the pot is fully filled with potting mix then insert the plant sapling and pour some water.

Depending upon the sapling requirement you can keep the pot in direct sunlight or in shade.

It is interesting to watch these plant grow. And more delight comes from the flowers or fruits we see on the plant. It is immense pleasure of recreation. For me it’s the best stress-buster .

Have a good day and keep smiling
