Dig a pit in the garden at school or home 60 cm
(length) X 60 cm (breadth) X 45-60 cm (depth).
Clear the pit and fill gravel about 5 cm followed
with sand. Add garden soil mixed with compost and
water the place till moist.

The place is ready for planting. After planting,
do remember to press the soil hard with your hand
around the stem. Keep watering everyday (do not
excessively pour water), and watch the plant grow.

If you have no garden space and you have to plant
only in a pot, use a herb or a shrub that will
grow well in the pot. First check whether the pot
you have has holes for water to drain (this is
important). Put a small layer of gravel, followed
by a small layer of sand and top it up with the
garden soil compost mixture. Water the soil and
the pot is ready for being planted. After
planting do remember to press the soil hard with
your hand around the stem. Keep watering everyday
(do not excessively pour water), and watch the
