Questions

Workshop questions

I know nothing about this — is that alright?

Yes, that is exactly what the Freshers batch is for. Homemakers and students with no farming experience have learnt this too. Everything is taught in Marathi and demonstrated by hand.

How much space do I need at home?

To begin with, one window or a corner of a balcony is enough. Two feet by one foot is plenty for two trays. If you want to grow further, the Repeat batch teaches you how to set up racks.

Can I bring young children?

Bring children above 10 — they enjoy it a great deal and often end up looking after the trays at home. There is no separate fee for children, but tell us if they want a kit of their own.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes, on completing the workshop we give a certificate of participation. The Repeat batch certificate also mentions the business training.

What if I run into trouble after the workshop?

You can ask us on WhatsApp for 30 days. Mould, poor germination, a smell — send a photo and we will tell you what to do.

Can I do the Repeat batch first?

Better not. The Repeat batch builds on the Freshers batch — without the basics, the costing and the selling topics are hard to follow. If you already have experience, talk to us on WhatsApp.

What if the seats are full?

We put your name down for the next batch and tell you first once the date is fixed. Let us know on WhatsApp.
