"- If plants are healthy, pests will not prevail. Protecting the plant is more important that killing the pest." "- Low external input gardening. Less human intervention is needed when plants are healthy." "- Two broad categories of pests – Sucking pests (Mealy bugs, aphids, white flies, etc.) and biting pests (Cut worms, defoliators, butterflies, leaf miners, etc.)." "- Concept of sharing the planet. Let’s leave 15% of our garden for pests. For instance, he grows Cauliflower as a trap crop because it attracts aphids!!" "- Crop diversity/Mixed cropping reduces incidence of pests." "- Growing flowers along with vegetables – to attract pollinators, to repel pests." "- Promote native, local seeds as they are inherently stronger and more resistant to pests." "- 4-5 hours of sun light are imperative to avoid pests. In peak summer, do not reduce light, but lower temperature – water twice a day, place wet gunny bags in the terrace, mulching, have good drainage." "- Regular scouting of garden is very important – remove pests in the initial stages." "- Fruits can be bagged to prevent it from pest damage. Pheromone traps are very effective." "- Protective mechanisms vs. killing mechanisms." "- Clean plant regularly with some natural solution. Shikakai or soap nut or shampoo (avoid Vim) solution, Neem oil, 3G extract, Sasyarakshak, hing in buttermilk."

Once planted, difficult to shift the airpot. It may break if shifted." "4. Potting media needs to be replenished every month or so as some media keeps getting lots from the pores." "5. Watering has to be done very slowly. Preferrably using drip irrigation. Else water seeps out of the pores" "6.
