My ideal balcony for growing food is to be able to water as easily as green plants, give enough light and bottom fertilizer (vermicompost, kitchen waste compost) to achieve sustainable harvesting. Even office workers can achieve a healthy lifestyle of sustainable harvesting.
Deep vegetable cultivation is also a process of cultivating the mind and cultivating the mind.
What is the ideal? It's daydreaming, and the picture of the idea before it has been achieved.
But it's that simple! Just like life, you can't do everything the way you want.
Especially for my operation without any pesticides and fungicides, there is naturally such and such a situation, but fortunately, as long as the balance is good, a small part of the ideal vegetable growing mode can still be achieved, and most of the continuous experiments are gradually formed, and the food is harvested sustainably. And as you learn deeper, the more planting experiments, the more discoveries you make.
For example, the healing power of plants, the vitality of plants is stronger than expected. Will the worm really eat up? They have their own magic weapon to deal with. (The beans that I accidentally broke grew like this and were still alive.) ）
Many things can only be done by yourself, so that you can really see the inner logic and what will happen, rather than just seeing the surface of sustainable harvesting. You will know by yourself to grow vegetables, it turns out that small and strong are indispensable, but whether it will flood, in addition to the food itself, you also need to consider the planting container, whether there is space for them to reproduce in large quantities, and the control of human and natural enemies.
This goes back to the basics of design. Design is about solving problems, not just looking good.
My homemade balcony vegetable planter has been revised many times, and this time I hope it will be the last time, but I still need to experiment with it. This is the deep cultivation of vegetables, not to compromise and give up when encountering problems, but to continue to experiment, and more and more fun and interesting, but also to discover more food truths!
Just like at the beginning, many people said that you can't eat vegetables without pesticides, you will be eaten by insects, I choose to believe in life, after these years of growing vegetables on the balcony, you will be eaten by insects, not to eat up, and the vegetables will not be reduced! The best time to grow vegetables and the best vegetables were also found. The main thing is to use, not at the wrong temperature, only grow tender and delicious leafy vegetables, and they will not be eaten!
This year's big discovery is that some cold-loving vegetables grow well in microclimates.
Even hollow vegetables that are in season, when hot and dry, the leaves will have red spider mites instead of the perfect appearance. And the cabbage worm may not be a vegetable eater, maybe you should also see who is eating the vegetable at night. to find out who "stole the vegetables".
Then, you need to consider how harmful they are, why are they so proliferated? There are not enough natural enemies to balance, if not, you need to do it yourself. For some very small bugs, after several years of pesticide-free vegetable planting, it was found that the harm was not very large, if the plant was healthy and strong enough, it was mainly large insects in the soil, such as wood cockroaches and the like, where it came from is still a mystery.
Always ask more questions, think more, and go deeper, so that balcony growing vegetables will be more and more interesting in constantly solving problems! It can also be obtained through deep vegetable cultivation while harvesting vegetables sustainably
