| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT Rooftop gardens are expected to be one of the most effective ways to improve urban inhabitants' nutritional health while also contributing positively to the environment. From the 5 th of January to the 25 th of February in 2020, a survey of 100 families was conducted in three metro areas in Gazipur city, Bangladesh. According to the study, maximum (98%) respondents used roof gardening as a hobby; 62% were low experienced in roof gardening; half (52%) of them started roof gardening recently (2005-2014) and 67% of the building were used as roof gardening at 3 stories of the building. More than half (55%) of the total roof area was used as roof top garden where fruit (100%), flower (100%), vegetables (100%) and others (88%; eg. medicinal, spices etc.) were found to be grown. All (100%) respondents used soil as media in small sized plastic half drum and practiced irrigation and weeding operation in a regular basis. In terms of economic value, 43% of the gardener earned medium income (1001-1500 Tk.) per season from their rooftop garden. Majority (72%) of the gardener faced medium problems in their RTG’s whereas “insect, pest and disease infestation” had been ranked as 1 st problem. rd -5 th | |
