The balcony of growing leeks in foam boxes grows out of a large area that is cut and eaten longer and happier every day.

Planting leek on the balcony is the most affordable choice! As long as there is enough space, grow your own leeks, green food, eat convenient and rest assured, what a good thing!

How to grow leeks on the balcony? Let's take a look:

1. Select basin and basin soil

Grow leeks mostly to eat, as long as there is space, as much as possible. When choosing a basin, I chose a bigger one. I planted it in a rectangular foam box at home, and the harvest was good. You can find a foam box and drill a few holes under it.

The garden soil and rotten leaf soil are mixed at 1:1, or the firewood and grass stacked by the roadside, and the blackened rotten soil under the firewood is also very easy to use, half of the garden soil. The thickness of the soil is 15cm to 20cm. If you add some base fertilizer to the soil, you'd better use your own retting organic fertilizer, cake fertilizer or farm manure, but indoors, these fertilizers have some peculiar smell, so you can also add a little compound fertilizer as the base fertilizer.

A basin that is loose and breathable, but also well-nourished basin soil will become!

2. Plant leek

Go to the florist or online shop to buy some leek root, variety buy purple root leek, this kind of leek is delicious. The kind of wide-leaf, tall leek is not as good-looking as purple root. It is OK to buy seeds for planting, but it is too troublesome and the quality of seedling emergence is not necessarily good. Beginners buy leek roots. It's simple.

Then plant the root into the soil, because the space is small, the plant can be close to the root and the root, leaving a little gap, the row spacing is about 7cm to 10cm, and its roots divide a lot, leaving a certain amount of space. When planting, you should expose the head of the leek, not all buried in the soil, so that the leek is afraid of choking and can not grow well.

After planting, pour water thoroughly and put it outside the balcony or outside the anti-theft net.

3. Sufficient light

Adequate light is very important. Leek is not afraid of the sun, unless which day more than 40 ℃ of high temperature, can be properly shaded, after all, not the land, hot sun exposure will not die, it will not adapt. As long as the temperature is below 35 ℃ and above 15 ℃, don't worry about it. It will grow well in the wind and rain.

4. Watering

Leeks do not need to be watered too often, as long as the pot soil is not dry, there is no need to water. It's fine to water once a week when the temperature is high, or dry and thoroughly. If the amount of water is too large, it is easy to rot. Therefore, you don't have to work too hard to grow leeks!

5. Fertilization

Because the basic fertilizer has been fully applied in the early stage, there is no need to apply it before cutting leeks. After the interval, slide a ditch in the empty soil, put the cake fertilizer or compound fertilizer inside, and then bury the soil. The concentration should not be too high, nor should it be too close to the root, for fear of burning the root. Every time you cut the leek and apply fertilizer, you don't have to apply fertilizer at ordinary times.

The above points, as long as you are done, you will be able to harvest a pot of green leek! It's delicious! Just cut it once a month. It's too often. The leek is too thin and not delicious.
