What are the essential skills (sowing, pruning, pest ID) and how to acquire them efficiently?

"Let’s dismantle the biggest lie told to urban farmers: that it’s complicated!

Do not get carried away by the negative propaganda or the complex noise from YouTube gurus trying to 'outsmart each other.'

Rooftop farming is not rocket science!

Think of the essential skills as the universally simple '2 Minute Maggi Noodle.' The basic noodle is within reach of everyone and requires mastering just three simple steps:

1. Sowing: Get the seed in the pot.

2. Watering: Don't drown it, don't forget it.

3. Harvesting: Enjoy your fresh food!

You are successful immediately by mastering these basics.

The advanced knowledge pruning for yield, scientific nutrient management, complex pest identification, and automated systems are the optional 'vegetables, spices, garnishes, and sauces.' These add-ons certainly enhance the final taste like yield and efficiency, but they are absolutely not required for your first basic, satisfying meal.

You don't need to master a 100-spice blend before boiling the water. Start simple with the core noodle, gain confidence, and only then add the flavor complexities.

The skill development journey should be fun, incremental, and most importantly, start right away to have a satisfying meal!"
