What are the tips for growing vegetables on the balcony?

Planting vegetables on the balcony can not only experience the fun of growing vegetables, but also eat green and pollution-free fresh vegetables from time to time. The best way to grow vegetables on the balcony is to start with soil, fertilizer, water, planting, lighting and ventilation, and pest control.

First of all, the soil used to grow vegetables on the balcony can be humus soil, pastoral soil, soilless culture substrate, or even a combination of soil and fertilizer. Some organic fertilizers can be directly used as the substrate for fixing vegetable growth.

Secondly, the fertilizer used for planting vegetables on the balcony is required to be odorless and easy to get. Therefore, the source of organic fertilizer can buy ready-made solid organic fertilizer (water-soluble organic fertilizer) from flower and bird market and agricultural resources market; Rice washing water and egg shells are recommended to be ground into fine powder or powder for later use.

Even make your own organic fertilizer, if technology and conditions permit, you can do it; If you make organic fertilizer casually, the smell is difficult to deal with.

Thirdly, the water used for planting vegetables on the balcony includes rice washing water, plant ash soaking water and rainwater. If tap water is used, I personally suggest that it is best to put it in an uncovered container in advance, store it and water it now.

Fourth, the balcony should grow vegetables according to the lighting and ventilation conditions. If the balcony has good lighting and ventilation conditions, you can plant seasonal non-vine vegetables (you can plant them on the roof). If the lighting and ventilation conditions of the balcony environment are not good, you can choose shade-loving vegetables and often open doors and windows to change the ventilation environment.

Fifthly, it is suggested that limewater sold in supermarkets mixed with plant ash water or mosquito killer or mashed shredded garlic or tobacco soaked water should be used to control vegetable diseases and insect pests on balcony, and it is better not to use liquid medicine.

In short, it is not difficult to grow vegetables on the balcony. As long as the residential property has no special requirements in this respect, vegetables can be grown without using odorous fertilizers and pesticides in the process of growing vegetables.
