Back to Roots: Growing Food the Way It Was Meant to Be

Why Home Gardening Feels Hard (And Why It Shouldn’t)

Ashish Shrivastva Jan 23, 2026 • 5 min read

Most of us want to eat clean. Fewer chemicals. More real food.

But let’s be honest — growing your own food sounds easier than it actually is.

Seeds don’t sprout. Plants dry out. Soil turns hard. And after one or two failed attempts, people quietly give up.

That’s exactly the problem Back to Roots is trying to fix.

Why Home Gardening Feels Hard (And Why It Shouldn’t)

Modern gardening advice is confusing. One person says water daily, another says don’t. One soil works for tomatoes but kills basil. Add chemical fertilizers into the mix, and things go wrong fast.

Back to Roots keeps it simple:

  • Organic inputs only
  • No shortcuts, no chemicals
  • Products that work for Indian homes and weather

The idea isn’t to turn you into a farmer. It’s to help you grow food without frustration.

You Don’t Need a Big Garden

A lot of people think gardening means land. It doesn’t.

A balcony, terrace, or even a sunny window is enough. Back to Roots products are designed for small spaces and busy schedules — because most people don’t have hours every day to care for plants.

Start with:

  • Herbs you actually use
  • Greens that grow fast
  • Soil that doesn’t need constant fixing

Small wins matter. They keep you going.

Why Organic Really Matters

This isn’t about trends. It’s about control.

When you grow your own food:

  • You know what went into it
  • You avoid pesticide residue
  • You harvest fresh, not days old

Even a handful of home-grown leaves can change how you think about food. Once you taste the difference, it’s hard to go back.

Made for Beginners (Even If You’ve Failed Before)

If your last plant died — you’re not alone.

Back to Roots focuses on:

  • Better soil (this matters more than seeds)
  • Simple, clear usage
  • Products that forgive small mistakes

Gardening shouldn’t punish you for missing one watering.

More Than Plants

There’s something grounding about putting your hands in soil. Watching something grow because you cared for it — even a little.

Back to Roots isn’t just about selling products. It’s about helping people reconnect with food, nature, and patience — one pot at a time.

Start Small. Stay Consistent. Grow Naturally.

You don’t need to grow everything. Just grow something.

If you’ve been thinking about starting — or restarting — your home garden, this is a good place to begin.

Back to Roots makes it easier to stick with it.

Enhancing Your Living Space: 10 Top Indoor Plants for Air Quality and Style

Indoor air pollution is a significant concern because most people spend more than 90% of their lives inside, where pollutants can be 2 to 5 times more concentrated than outdoors. While mechanical systems like HEPA purifiers are faster at cleaning heavily polluted air, indoor plants offer a sustainable, cost-effective way to enhance your environment and psychological well-being. Here are 10 exceptional plants to consider for your indoor garden.

Beginner Tips

How do indoor plants help with room temperature and humidity?

Indoor plants help **increase and maintain relative humidity** through the natural processes of **transpiration** and the **evaporation of moisture from pot soil**. Studies have shown that rooms containing plants consistently exhibit **higher relative humidity levels** compared to plant-free environments. This increase in humidity is beneficial as it can **speed up the settlement of dust** and reduce the concentration of airborne particles. Regarding thermal conditions, research indicates that **room temperatures are generally lower** in spaces where houseplants are present. For instance, one study observed that mean room temperatures were **consistently higher when plants were absent** compared to when they were placed inside. By providing **adequate control of temperature and humidity**, plants contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment. This natural maintenance can potentially **reduce the reliance on energy-intensive climate control methods**. Certain species, such as the **Boston Fern**, are specifically highlighted for their effectiveness in increasing humidity in buildings.
