It's not difficult to grow vegetables on the balcony. Try growing grapes on the balcony. It's easy to use this method.

In recent years, due to the residues of pesticides and chemical fertilizers in vegetables and fruits on the market, green balcony vegetables are gradually favored by people. While people get green vegetables and fruits through their own labor self-sufficiency, they also stimulate their own interest, edify their own sentiment, eat their own melons and vegetables, and have a sense of satisfaction. So, did you know that balconies can grow grapes in addition to growing vegetables? In addition to the above benefits of growing grapes on the balcony, the grape rack can also shade the balcony and bring a trace of coolness to the home in summer.

Growing grapes on the balcony requires two conditions: enough soil and no less than 6-8 hours of sunshine a day. Plant seedlings to choose fast-growing varieties, and it only takes two years to pick grapes. Let's learn to grow grapes on the balcony in chronological order until they are ripe and picked.

January of the first year

Select seedlings for planting. First of all, when it comes to seedling selection, novice or Rain Water can choose good varieties such as Jufeng, summer black, cold fragrant honey, white banana, Moldova, Rain Water red and so on. It is best to use 1-year grafted seedlings, and 1-year seedlings are in the growing period. The second year can bear fruit, and the third year has a high yield. The so-called 5-year-old seedlings and 8-year-old seedlings on a certain treasure are all deceiving people, even if it is true, this kind of old tree has grown very weak, and it is difficult to have a high yield after planting.

Besides, potted soil. If your balcony is big enough, you can build a flower pond directly, which is the best. If not, it doesn't matter. Choose a container that is big enough and deep enough. Wooden cases and foam cases are fine. The diameter should not be less than 30 inches. The bottom of the flowerpot can be covered with weeds and leaves, filled with a mixture of 5 parts of garden soil and 1 part of sawdust or perlite, spread the roots when growing seedlings, then gently compacted with soil cover and watered once. Try not to apply fertilizer, because the root system is not perfect, fertilization is easy to burn roots.

April-June of the first year

In early April, grape grafted seedlings began to sprout. After germination, the plastic film at the grafting site should be removed, and then the strongest buds from above the marriage interface should be retained, and the rest of the buds below the grafting interface should be removed.

After this bud becomes a vine, the eighth leaf grows and begins to pick the heart. After picking the heart, the root of each leaf begins to sprout summer buds, the summer buds germinate to form a sub-bud, and the top summer buds are removed. The purpose of this is to force the uppermost winter buds to sprout and grow, because the winter buds are stronger than the first class, and the winter buds are the buds of the fruiting branches in the coming year. Winter buds will not be sent out until tomorrow spring. Before that, the top summer buds should leave 7, 6, 5, 4 leaves to pick the heart repeatedly, and the summer buds of other leaves should leave one leaf to pick the heart repeatedly. Because it is a potted grape, you can leave a single vine as far as possible. after growing to a certain extent, tie the branches and vines to the shelf with a rope to remove all tendrils in time to avoid nutrition loss.

When the grape seedlings begin to grow tendrils, some urea meltwater nitrogen fertilizer can be applied, and the principle of frequent application of thin fertilizer must be followed. After the seedlings grow up, they can be properly fertilized with compound fertilizer meltwater once a week, and some organic fertilizers such as cake fertilizer and chicken manure can be added appropriately, but it must not be excessive. From May to June, 2/1000 urea and potassium dihydrogen phosphate meltwater can be used to spray foliar fertilizer on both sides of the leaves. After the beginning of the rainy season in June, the page needs to spray Bordeaux liquid to prevent disease.

July-November of the first year

The grape will enter the flower bud differentiation stage in July, which is the key to determine the high yield next year. At this time, a small amount of boric acid and zinc sulfate can be applied in the basin soil, and the leaves can be sprayed with potassium dihydrogen phosphate plus urea solution; August and September is the hottest time, so the grapes must not be short of water. Generally, the grapes are watered once in the morning and evening; in October and November, the grapes continue to enter the rooting stage and continue to apply thin fertilizer frequently with 1000% potassium dihydrogen diphosphate, but do not be too thick, otherwise it will fatten the grapes.

December of the first year

The grapes will lose their leaves in December, when pruning begins. Leave 5-6 buds at the bottom of each main branch cultivated this year, and cut off the rest of the upper branches. If it is a single vine, you can leave more buds, generally leaving 1.5 meters high.

April-May of the following year

In April of the following year, the winter buds left last year will sprout, and at this time there will be flowers. At this time, we must pay attention to applying little or no nitrogen fertilizer, and at the same time, we should water as little as possible to keep the soil from drying, so as to avoid falling flowers, and the grapes will blossom in May.

June of the following year

The small fruit can be seen in the grape fruit in June, and after spraying Bordeaux liquid on the ear, it can be bagged to prevent disease and birds. After the grapes sit down, they begin to need big fertilizer and water to promote the fruit. at this time, urea water can be used to increase nitrogen fertilizer.

Mid-June-August of the following year

Finally, it's harvest time. At this time, you can apply more potash fertilizer, which will make the grapes big and sweet. At this time, you can pick the fruits of hard work to taste, remember to share!
