As MSc in botany I know plants inside- out...And ready to help those who are interested to do so. I admire plants...We not only human beings but tiniest members of animal kingdom depend on plants for their food... Green leaves of plants are miraculous chemical factories....They produce glucose.. starch...proteins gums..list is endless... These leaves even after their role as food factory is over..... *We* *call* *them* *Brown* *Leaves* ... provide food for tiny creatures fungi and many microorganisms..... A mixture of these brown leaves and kitchen waste is an excellent medium to grow vegetables and fruit trees on terrace.... I am doing it for last 20 years
