An uncle who calls himself a "Shenzhen City Farmer" shared his planned vegetable patch on his balcony online, which was eye-openingI never knew that a house could have such a wide balcony
Not much to say, let everyone open their eyes!
Looking out from the balcony of the uncle's house, you can just see Shenzhen's iconic attraction - the Window of the World, which is a split-level ultra-high balcony, 6 meters long, with southeast lighting, and the light is very sufficient.
According to the uncle,It was originally a flower pond, made of waterproof, and the soil thickness is very deep, but now it has been changed into a small vegetable garden, which feels more fun than raising flowers, and can eat the vegetables grown by yourself, which is healthy and delicious, and it is very fulfilling
Uncle has planted a lot of vegetables here, such as cabbage, cabbage, oil and wheat cabbage, celery, camellia, etc., and plans to plant peppers, eggplants, sweet potato leaves after the Spring Festival, and plant different vegetables in different seasons, and there are vegetables to eat all year round.
Netizens are not calm after reading it, and they have posted their own small vegetable gardens in the comment area, and there are many self-sufficient guys
@咱省省呗: We are the poor farmer in Shenzhen, with the help of the corridor of the unit dormitory, we planted a lot of small vegetables, and we shared them with colleagues when we couldn't finish them.
@啊好生活: I planted poisonous greens on the roof of the building, realized the freedom of greens, and planted two fruit trees, which just bore fruit this fall, and recently I want to raise a few chickens, but I am afraid that others will report it.
@娟娟: The garden on the roof, made of aluminum alloy 08*0.The 8-meter box planted a lemon, which has not hung fruit for three years, and suddenly grew a lot this year, although it cannot be eaten as a fruit, but it does not hinder the joy of the harvest.
@闲芽小农: The post-90s vegetable farmers used to plant flowers here, and they watched the flowers 100 times a day; Now I change to growing vegetables, and I look at it 300 times a day, and I feel that growing vegetables is more interesting.
@芦花: There's nothing to post, and I want to compare, everyone came to see my house.
@严三姐: It's been planted for half a month, and every time I just pull a few roots and throw some when I just cook noodles, I don't want to eat them.
@sophia: I can't plant anything, just look at the first place.
@夏日草: To tell you the truth, the corn grains planted on the balcony are full and sweet, as well as watermelons, sweet potatoes, potatoes and yams, sunflowers, and tomatoes.
@无名有型: Those who have balconies are local tyrants, and the windowsill farmers are here.
It's so joyful to see the friends pk their own vegetables in the comment area. In the words of a little friend: "I don't grow vegetables, but feelings!"
Why is it that when you also grow vegetables on the balcony, other people's homes grow very luxuriantly, and you can harvest what you plant, while some friends don't like to grow anything?
In fact, growing vegetables is the same as raising flowers, soil, light, ventilation, and nutrition are all indispensable.
Soil: If you want to grow lush vegetables in the vegetable patch at home,The quality of the soil is very importantAlthough it is not like raising flowers, the requirements for the soil must be loose and breathable, but it must be rich in nutrients, otherwise it will definitely have an impact on the growth of vegetables.
If you can, you can dig itVegetable garden soil, humus soil, pine needle soil, and ordinary soil are mixed in a ratio of 1:1；You can alsoUse organic fertilizer to improve ordinary soil, and mix some well-rotted organic fertilizer into the soil, such as sheep manure, chicken manure, and sesame cake fertilizerIt can increase the fertility of the soil and improve it into a more suitable soil for growing vegetables.
Lighting: Vegetables and flowers are different, some flowers like strong light, some like bright environments, and some like astigmatism. WhileMost vegetables are very light-loving and prefer to grow in a sunny environmentIf there is not enough light, not only will the branches and leaves not grow vigorously, but there will be fewer flowers, and there will naturally be fewer fruits.
So, if you want to grow vegetables at home, you must have a balcony with a lot of light, and the terrace is even betterIf the light conditions are not good, it is better to raise some more shade-tolerant flowers, planting vegetables is definitely not good, if you really want to plant, you have to consider the fill light
I saw a little friend planting vegetables on the balcony to the north, and there were not only a few trees in the vegetable pot, but also very slender and burnt yellow, not at all.
Ventilation: It is unavoidable that planting vegetables on the balcony will encounter the problem of attracting insects, small black flying, big green worms, green worms are fine, just pinch to death, after the small black fly appears, it is not easy to deal with, it not only gnaws on vegetable leaves, but also flies everywhere, except for medicine, there is no other way.
insect infestation, preferablyPrevention is greater than **Maintaining a well-ventilated environment is the best way to prevent it. After watering the vegetables, strengthen ventilation to let the water in the soil evaporate as soon as possible, which can avoid the appearance of insect pests such as small black flying.
You can also bury some small white medicine in the soil, which is an inhalation medicine that can prevent insect infestations in the soil.
In addition,A good ventilation environment can also promote the respiration of flowers, helping it to consume the nutrients accumulated by photosynthesis, so that the plants grow robust and full of moisture
Nutrients: If you want to eat good tasting small greens, or make some fruits and vegetables fruitful, nutrients are essential.
As mentioned above, the soil must contain a certain amount of humus and have the most basic nutrients. Secondly, when sowing or planting seedlings, it is best to apply some organic bottom fertilizer at the bottom, remember to keep a certain distance from the root system, and do not directly contact the root system, otherwise the phenomenon of root burning may occur.
Secondly, in the growth period and flowering and fruiting period of vegetables, it is necessary to apply fertilizer regularly to maintain the supply of nutrients to meet their demand for nutrients for growth.
In the growth period of vegetables, if chemical fertilizers are used, it is recommended to apply a compound fertilizer with a balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium once a month; If it is organic fertilizer, it is recommended to bury an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer in the soil every 2 months
Comparatively speaking, the fertilizer effect of organic fertilizer is milder and more durable.
When melons and fruits enter the flowering stage, in addition to continuing to supplement growth-promoting fertilizers, every 7-10 days, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium elements should be used, the most commonly used are potassium dihydrogen phosphate and Hua Duoduo No. 2.
Compared with Huaduoduo No. 2, potassium dihydrogen phosphate is more cost-effective.
Here's how to use itTake an appropriate amount of potassium dihydrogen phosphate, dissolve it thoroughly with 1000 times of water, replace water to water the potting soil, and spray the leaves before the flowers open, the effect is more direct
Remember to use it once every 7-10 days, and continue to use it to achieve better results.
