How to raise vegetables on the balcony (share the precautions for growing vegetables on the balcony)
First, the importance of potted soil and fertilization
Because potted vegetables are different from vegetables grown in the ground, vegetables grown in open-air gardens can grow by themselves even if they are not fertilized, but the potted soil is limited and the nutrients are limited, so we must use fertile and loose soil and add more rotten leaf soil, earthworm manure, cake fertilizer and the like.
If you fatten the soil, the vegetables will grow quickly. Of course, there is no rotten fertilizer in the base fertilizer, so don't sow too much. It is also a good way to put rice washing water and some kitchen waste in empty oil drums and make them into organic fertilizer.
Second, the importance of light
First of all, we should plant vegetables in Nanyang Terrace with sufficient light. Unless it is high in summer, we can temporarily put some potted vegetables, potted peppers, potted cucumber seedlings, etc. on the north balcony, but the time should not be too long, or we need to give some light in the morning and evening.
most of the time, some light is needed to make vegetables grow sturdily, blossom smoothly and produce lush leaves. In this way, the sprouted vegetable seedlings, with sufficient sunshine, will not easily grow in vain, will not grow into bean sprouts, and will grow strong.
Third, don't plant the seedlings too closely, and pay attention to the thinning.
In a flowerpot, except some Chinese cabbage and shallots, plant them a little densely, such as lettuce, green pepper, tomato and cucumber. It's better to plant only two trees in a flowerpot, because if you plant too many plants in a flowerpot, it will only make it grow thin and unable to bear fruit. And don't eat all the vegetables you can grow, it's impossible. As long as it can flourish.
Fourth, keep the balcony clean and tidy
Although vegetables are planted on the balcony, the balcony is kept in a clean and tidy state, and there is no mud and dust on the floor tiles, so that potted vegetables can also show a vibrant and full of green state, and the cultivation of vegetables should also be ornamental.
At the same time, if you are worried that growing vegetables will attract bugs, pests and mosquitoes, you can also plant some insect-repellent plants, such as chives, sage, marigold and so on, so that bugs will not grow easily.
