Homes and gardens in Kalewadi

Alongside newer apartment buildings, Kalewadi has many independent houses and low-rise buildings with flat concrete roofs. Those roofs are the best garden space in the locality: a terrace kitchen garden of grow bags or raised beds, a few fruit plants in drums, and flowering pots along the parapet.

A kitchen garden on the roof

Families in Kalewadi often want to grow their own vegetables: tamatar, mirchi, bhindi, palak, methi and dhaniya in grow bags, with a karela or dudhi vine on a frame. We check the roof's waterproofing and drainage first, then set up the bags with a light soil mix and a drip line.

The roof gets full sun, so from March to May a shade net over leafy greens and a deeper soil mix help them through the heat.

Watering on supply days

With Pimpri-Chinchwad's water arriving on alternate days, a terrace garden in Kalewadi works best on drip from an overhead or storage tank with a timer. The tank fills on supply days and the plants get a steady share on every day.

Temple and courtyard plants

The neighbourhood's many temples and the yearly fair at Panch Peer Chowk keep demand steady for pooja plants at home: tulsi, mogra, jaswand and parijat (harsingar). These grow well in large pots on a sunny terrace or in a small front courtyard.
