Summary of balcony vegetable planting and management techniques

Growing vegetables on the balcony has many advantages. On the one hand, we can eat 100% assured vegetables, on the other hand, we can always enjoy different green in our busy city life, and at the same time, we can give our children a good cognitive environment. But how on earth should balcony vegetables be planted?

1. Soil selection

The planting area of vegetables on the balcony is generally small, so we can choose the best of the best when we choose the soil. We can choose fully attached pig and cow manure and then mix it with fertile soil with good aggregate structure at 4:6, so that the steps of topdressing are reduced and the vegetables grown in this way are of better quality.

two。 Selection of vegetable varieties

The choice of vegetables is generally determined by temperature. Therefore, if you plant in the first half of the year, you can choose vegetables that like temperature, such as eggplant, melons and legumes; while the temperature in the second half of the year is relatively low, you can choose some vegetables that like cold, such as cabbages and green vegetables; and for the high temperature weather from July to August, you can plant vegetables that do not have strict harvest time requirements.

3. Temperature management

As mentioned earlier, the selection of vegetables is generally determined according to the temperature, which is mainly divided into the last and second half of the year. For vegetables planted in the first half of the year, the temperature in the early stage is generally on the low side, so it is necessary to close doors and windows during working hours to give vegetables a micro-greenhouse environment to promote vegetable growth. This method can also be used for vegetables grown by grandma after work. However, for Chinese cabbage and cabbage and other balling vegetables, closing doors and windows with strong light will affect the growth of these vegetables because of the high temperature, so it is necessary to take a reasonable way to control the temperature environment.

4. Water and fertilizer management

Planting balcony vegetable watering is generally more convenient, so it can be carried out in the way of small water and multi-watering, which can often maintain the moist state of the soil and is conducive to the growth of plants. For fertilizer management, in the production of soil, we have taken some measures to ensure the adequacy of nutrients, in theory, these nutrients can meet the growth of vegetables, but if you encounter a weak growth in the later stage of vegetable growth, you still need to apply some fertilizer to ensure the growth needs of the plant, depending on the situation.
