Is growing vegetables in foam boxes poisonous?

Because the foam box is exposed to the sun for a long time outside, and the air pollution will volatilize bad substances, and at the same time, it will release harmful substances due to certain reactions of fertilizers, pesticides and other substances in the process of breeding, so vegetables grown in foam boxes may be toxic, so it is recommended to eat less.

If they are good, they can be used to grow vegetables, but do not recycle them for a long time, so that the vegetables grown will not be poisonous, but it is best to buy a special vegetable planting box, which is not only environmentally friendly, but also safe and secure.

Second, what are the planting methods of growing vegetables in foam boxes?

The foam box is fragile, and it will decay slowly after being blown by the wind and the sun for a long time, so it is necessary to master certain techniques when growing vegetables in the foam box. The specific planting methods are as follows:

1. Site selection: where is a good place to plant?

The foam box is easy to break, especially when it is touched casually in the later stage, so before breeding, be sure to determine what vegetables you grow, whether the dish is sunny or shade-loving plants, if it is sunny, it is best to put it on the edge of the balcony, if it is shade-loving plants, it is best to put it in the corner of the wall, so as to avoid late movement.

2. Punching: how to punch?

The water storage capacity of the foam box is poor, and if you punch a hole in the bottom, the water will immediately drain from the bottom, so it is best to dig a hole at the 5cm distance from the ground on the side of the foam box before breeding, so that the water will slowly seep into the soil and provide enough water for the plant.

3. Planting: how to plant?

First put some soil in the foam box, then plant the rapeseed you want to grow, and finally cover the soil and pour some water. But if you are growing water-loving plants such as water celery or hollow cabbage, just choose some clay, then mix it with water to make mud, and then plant seeds.

4. Post-planting management technology: how to manage?

(1) Water requirements: if you are planting water-loving plants, you should water more. If not, just make sure the soil is moist. At the same time, make good drainage measures in rainy season, and water less in winter to avoid freezing damage.

(2) Light requirements: if you are planting light-loving plants, you should give enough light every day. If you like shade plants, you should do a good shade treatment in summer to prevent long-term exposure, resulting in high temperature in the box and affecting plant growth.

Generally speaking, growing vegetables in foam boxes may be toxic, so it is recommended to eat less. If you want to grow them, you can choose a special planting box, which is not only non-toxic, but also environmentally friendly.
