Mukul's Rainwater-Fed Backyard Farm in London: Episode 76

Shykh Seraj visits young professional Mukul Sarkar in London, who grows crops in his garden with an automated "rain gutter growing system" that stores and uses rainwater.

Entrepreneurs abroad are also using modern methods in backyard farming, Shykh Seraj reports in episode 76. In London, young professional Mukul Sarkar is producing crops by storing rainwater and using it through a special system, and the automated arrangement is bringing him considerable success.

Farming abroad


Farming abroad is not difficult. In many cities in Europe, America and England, city governments open up farming opportunities for citizens, and for Bangladeshis a backyard is now a crop field. Some are doing something remarkable, and Mukul Sarkar of London is one of them.

The rain gutter growing system


At his spacious bungalow, he has built a farming structure that stores rainwater and uses it automatically, which he calls a "rain gutter growing system". Everything, from placing pots to managing soil and water, is done scientifically. Specific crop structures line all four sides around a green courtyard in the middle, and he is getting good yields of various fruits and crops.

Although he created it for a child with special needs, it has become a unique farming initiative.
