College students in Delhi develop "stubble pots" that help plants grow faster, bloom early and live longer
RASHMI GUPTA has just finished plucking fresh tomatoes from the kitchen garden in her apartment's balcony. The Delhi-based teacher did not expect a yield of 10-15 tomatoes from a single pot she bought four months ago. The difference was that the pot was lined with stubble, soil and dung.
Rashmi first heard of these "stubble pots" last year from her daughter Samaira, a student of Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies in Delhi. Samaira encouraged her to buy a pot from the college's student initiative Project Pravaah.
