The daily routine of businessman Shah Alam has changed. You can't stay on the roof in the morning and afternoon. And going to the roof once means getting better. He has thousands of trees on his 1,800-square-foot roof. Shah Alam said, ‘I have been growing vegetables for more than a month. Now I eat laushak, lettuce, cabbage, cucumber, chilli, cauliflower, Chinese vegetable, sweet pumpkin, shrimp and other vegetables every day.

The tomato plant is swollen. Seeing the yield of other vegetables including eggplant, it seems that I can start cultivating vegetables commercially. '

A special feature of Shah Alam's roof garden in the capital's Mirpur is that he has planted all the new trees in the water. The modern method of growing vegetables in water without soil is called hydroponic. There is a system of giving nutrients and oxygen in the water as food for the plants.

Recently I visited the roof of Shah Alam's own four-storey building and saw only green and green all around. Shah Alam used to plant trees on the roof as a hobby. He used to plant various trees including dragon fruit, cinnamon and orange in the soil of the tub. And with all this, he has embarked on a new career. Adding new infrastructure to increase the size of the garden in a hydroponic manner. On the one hand, he is also producing new saplings on his own initiative.

Privately a social enterprise called Green Savers is working on modern hydroponic methods in aquaculture. With the overall support of Ahsan Rony, the founder of this social enterprise, Shah Alam has started vegetable cultivation anew.
