Floating garden construction
crop
floodwater
When Tara Begum and her family watched floodwater swamp their farmland
they were distraught. But her family was able to construct a garden that floated
several feet above where they had once grown crops. The diagram shows how
the garden was constructed. Tara could then grow red onions, kang kong and
okra as well as pumpkin plants which could be transplanted once the floods
died down. ‘Before I had no means to feed my children. Now I even have enough
to sell at market – and my neighbours have now copied the idea’, Tara Begum
said.
