Growing tree lemon in a pot

Buy it from nursery, you might argue that you can grow it via seeds. Ideally yes, but they don't yield fruits within 2-3 years so to get faster results buy a grafted one. Now comes the pot, so the recommendation is to use pot having higher width then depth since the roots doesn't penetrate too deep, also take pots with at least 2 holes so that water can pass in well. Since, my plant is small I am using a 12-inch one but later in 2 years I am planning to change it. Soil requirements is going to be a 50% (garden soil), 30% (coco peet/river soil) + 20 (compost).  This plant requires 6-8 hrs of direct sunlight otherwise growth would be slow, in winters keep it in green house (if temperature is freezing cold). Add compost/ kitchen waste to it every month.To supply it with additional nutrients provide it with Biozyme (one teaspoon in a month). pollinators: They would come automatically and are very much needed for fruiting.

Improving drinking water quality at home

I was researching about making water available at home better to drink. So, in this post I would be sharing up my findings.  I came from a middle-class family, and we depend mostly upon government water connection. On the top of that I do use a water filter (RO/Aqua guard). I was thinking that this would be more than sufficient but yeah quality of water can be improved. Here are some of the steps: Boil it: There are quite a lot of advantages of using up boiled water like it removes contaminants, kills microorganisms, promote digestion, etc. Put it inside earthen pot or "Matka": If you are from India, you might be using it at your home but sadly I was in a habit of directly filling up my bottle directly from filter. Using "Matka" has lot of advantages I won't go into details here you can probably google it out. Make it alkaline: Most of the things which we eat are acidic so it's good to make water a bit alkaline. In order to make it alkaline just cut a lem...
