Soilless cultivation automatic irrigation LED replenish light to grow vegetables the expert has developed a family intelligent vegetable garden

Duan Lijun and his team developed a home intelligent vegetable garden after a year of practice. The household intelligent vegetable garden is generally a four-storey folding rack, put 8 pots,"planting pots with good nutrient soil, special fertilizer and water ratio to become nutrient solution, planting pots above the specific led light is the light source." Set the time for watering nutrient solution and light supplement, which can help you complete it. You don't have to worry about vegetable growth when you go out for five days or a week,"Duan said.

According to Anhui Business Daily,"This is the home intelligent vegetable garden developed by our team." In Cuigang Village, Sanshigang, Luyang District, Hefei, Duan Lijun devoted himself to dealing with all kinds of soil, fertilizer, seeds, led lamps, including brackets and flowerpots for a year. He loves agricultural production and planting. He came to Anhui Agricultural University from Shandong five years ago. In the year of graduation, he went into this small vegetable garden."More and more people like to plant vegetables at home. Intelligent vegetable garden enables them to realize their dream of vegetable garden without too much effort, and the quality and taste of vegetables are better." This is the province's first home intelligent vegetable garden.

Cui Gang's country lane, an agricultural science and technology company base, Duan Lijun led reporters into his small vegetable garden.

Almost two-and-a-half-high glass room, the three-story spiral staircase is very eye-catching, all kinds of vegetable planting pots will spiral upward; the window side of the first floor, but also placed five or six folding shelves, full of lettuce, small vegetables and so on. "It's more suitable for families to use this folding rack. It's usually four stories high and holds eight pots."

Each pot planting area of about 0.12 square meters, planting capacity is about: a pot can be planted with 12 chrysanthemum, two pots can come to a plate of fried chrysanthemum; lettuce a pot can also be planted with 12. A folding rack can become a family vegetable garden, Duan Lijun first focused on product research and development,"just got a simple wooden shelf, the grade appears relatively low, a set of down price is 2380 yuan." Now the upgraded and improved second generation products will be unveiled at the Agricultural Fair in September.

Give the nutrient solution to moisten, give the light to shine

Garden not only has the flexibility of location and collocation, but also the fool-like operation is especially worry-free. "For a period of time, no one can manage, but also live well, so it is called intelligent vegetable garden."

In Duan Lijun's words, without soil, water and light, vegetables can be grown at home. " Nutrient soil is prepared in the planting pot. Special fertilizer and water are mixed to form nutrient solution. The special LED lamp above the planting pot is the light source." The reporter saw the watering and lighting timer on the vegetable rack."Set the time for watering nutrient solution and supplementing light, and you can finish it. You don't have to worry about vegetable growth when you go out for five days or a week."

How much water and fertilizer to use, what kind of light, Duan Lijun has basically been studying these before. " The irrigation experiment lasted for three months. There were more than ten kinds of LED lamps used to supplement the light. The spectral ratio was different, and the illumination was different. It had an impact on the tenderness and taste of the vegetables."

Want to upgrade home garden to family farm

Before this, there are traditional ways of planting in boxes on the market. Family vegetable gardens and balcony vegetables are popular with citizens, but this kind of intelligent and flexible vegetable garden is the first in the province. " I'm a friend's child. Ever since he had a family vegetable garden, he not only kept a planting diary, but also got rid of his picky eating habit."

It is said to be a fool, but there are still some planting tips, Duan Lijun wants to share with the public. For example: flour paste can cure small spiders, soapy water, garlic water is the nemesis of aphids; vegetable emergence stage needs higher temperature, plastic bags or plastic film can be covered in planting pots; summer can be made of textiles awning, protect seedlings.

He also dreams of bigger spaces: extending the smart model to entire balconies,"with racks, vertical hangings, vines, upgrading a home garden to a home farm."
