    Growing a Vegetable Garden?

    Growing vegetables, fruits, and other agricultural plants for personal use is not difficult. It's very possible to do it completely organically. Hydroponic systems are also not difficult and are very suitable for leafy green plants and other plants. I even tried hydroponics for marigolds. So...

    How to determine if a neighbor is stealing electricity?

    do you mean group MCB? MCB is different than fuse. it just could be bad MCB or poor installation. I believe your case is not a theft. more likely your roof is used as a hop for your neighbor cable instead of direct cabling from the road pole which is common in dense area
