Plant vegetables on the top of the building, don't be in a hurry to sow seeds after harvesting the soil, first turn the soil and bury the bottom fertilizer, and plant vegetables well
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, the rooftop may be a quiet place that people have forgotten. However, when I discovered a neglected piece of land in this seemingly barren land, a different kind of enthusiasm swelled in my heart. So, I embarked on a unique farming journey on the rooftop, where I found many rewarding experiences.
Don't rush to sow seeds after harvesting the vegetables, this is not a trick, but based on a deep understanding of soil nutrients. As one old farmer put it, "A good harvest starts with the preparation at the beginning." "In the process of growing vegetables on the roof of my building, I deeply realized the meaning of this sentence.
First of all, turning over the soil is a crucial step. When I first stepped on the roof, I found that the land had been weathered and hard as iron. However, I know that good soil is the foundation for plants to thrive. So, I decided to go into a big battle to turn over the earth. In the process of turning the soil, I not only used traditional rakes and hoes, but also introduced some modern machinery and equipment to make the soil softer and more delicate.
Next, I focused on buried fertilizer. When I grow vegetables on the rooftop of an urban building, the nutrients in the soil cannot be compared to those in the countryside, so I need to improve the soil quality by adding organic fertilizer. Choosing the right organic fertilizer is crucial, and I often use food waste compost and decomposed agricultural waste to reduce the accumulation of waste and provide sufficient nutrients for the plants.
In the process of burying fertilizer, I often add some special elements, such as boron, zinc and other trace elements. This is because sometimes there are not enough trace elements in the soil, which can lead to slow plant growth and reduced yields. Through scientific and reasonable addition, I successfully adjusted the nutrient structure of the soil, which laid a solid foundation for later planting.
Before planting, I also carried out a pH test of the soil to ensure that the pH of the soil was within the right range. Because different plants have different pH requirements for the soil, maintaining a suitable pH value can improve the uptake and utilization of nutrients by plants, making plants healthier and stronger.
After a lot of hard preparation, I started a new round of sowing. However, this is not the end, but the beginning. In the process, I discovered many interesting phenomena and stories.
Once, the day after sowing, I noticed some strange little bugs popping up on the ground. At first I was a little panicked because I was afraid they were pests. However, through professional inquiries and consultations, I learned that these little bugs are probiotics such as earthworms and centipedes in the soil, which are beneficial to the soil, can promote soil aeration, improve structure, and even help break down organic matter. Since then, I have gained a deeper understanding of these little creatures and welcome them as my "partners".
In addition to small bugs, I also found some "tacit understanding" between plants. Once, I planted tomatoes and peppers on a piece of land. However, as they grew, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a delicate balance between them. The pungent taste of the pepper actually deterred some pests and protected the growth of tomatoes. This kind of mutual support between plants made me deeply feel the wonder and wisdom of nature.
In the process of growing vegetables on the rooftop, I also encountered some difficulties and challenges. Once, the weather changed abruptly, and I was worried that my plants would be affected. So, I hurriedly built a simple awning to protect the plants from the bad weather. This experience taught me that with nature, prevention is better than cure, and timely conservation measures can minimize losses.
In the days of growing vegetables on the roof, I was not only a high-quality creator of agriculture, agriculture, and agriculture, but also an urban farmer, integrating with nature and feeling the rhythm of life. The roof is no longer just a pile of concrete and glass, but a space where I grow with plants, soil, and small insects.
Through this colorful experience, I realized that the joy of growing vegetables on the roof is not only about harvesting delicious vegetables, but also about getting in touch with nature and discovering the endless mysteries contained in it. Planting vegetables on the roof of the building, don't be in a hurry to sow seeds after harvesting the vegetables, first turn the soil and bury the bottom fertilizer, and grow vegetables well, which is not only a farming skill, but also an adventure journey with nature.
