Plant vegetables on the roof, prevent insects, fertilize, water, plant a stubble of leeks and cut for a year, grow green and fragrant
On the roof of the bustling city, there is a different landscape, a land that has been given life, where it is no longer just the coldness of concrete and glass, but a small farmland, which hides a unique farming story.
The hero of the story is me, a high-quality creator of agriculture, agriculture and agriculture, because of my love for agriculture, I have opened up a small world of my own on the roof.
Some people may think that growing vegetables on the roof of a building is an outlandish idea, but this idea comes from my years of practical experience in the field and a deep understanding of agriculture. On the roof of the building, I not only planted all kinds of vegetables, but also carried out an urban agriculture practice on insect control, fertilization, and watering.
First of all, insect control has become the top priority of my rooftop farming. The environment on the roof of the building is complex, and all kinds of flying insects and reptiles in the city may become vandals. To protect my small vegetable garden, I have adopted some unique and practical methods.
I've found that some common household items can be natural insect repellent weapons. For example, chili water can not only provide some nutrients for vegetables, but can also be made into a spray that can be sprayed on plants, which has a good repellent effect on some pests. In addition, I also tried some biological control methods, introducing some natural enemies, such as ladybugs, ants, etc., to help me guard this small farm.
Fertilization is a key part of ensuring the growth of vegetables. In an environment like the rooftop, the quality of the soil is relatively poor, so I carefully prepared an organic fertilizer that can meet the needs of the plants. Kitchen waste, fish tank wastewater, fermented plant straw, etc., have become important raw materials for my homemade organic fertilizer. Through scientific and reasonable proportions, I have successfully cultivated an organic fertilizer that is not only rich in nutrients, but also improves the soil structure, which provides strong growth support for my rooftop farm.
On the rooftops of the city, water resources are obviously relatively limited, so scientific and reasonable watering has become the key to growing vegetables. I have developed a set of scientific watering plans, according to the growth stage of different vegetables and weather conditions, reasonable watering time and water consumption. At the same time, I also use some water-saving techniques, such as drip irrigation system, rainwater harvesting, etc., to minimize the waste of water resources.
Planting leeks has become a highlight of my rooftop farm. Leeks grow quickly, are adaptable, and have a strong flavor with a fragrant leaf green flavor. Through a reasonable crop rotation system, I have managed to achieve a year-round supply of leeks, which not only meets my own needs, but also shares them with my neighbors.
There are not only the trivialities of farming in the story, but also some ups and downs. Repeated insect attacks and repeated agricultural failures have made me sweat and hard work. However, it was these setbacks that made me more determined to grow vegetables on the roof, and I also had a deeper understanding of the difficulties of agriculture.
During my time at the rooftop farm, I also met a group of like-minded people. We exchanged experiences with each other, shared planting tips, and together created a unique urban farmland. These partners have become an important support in my rooftop farming life, facing pest attacks and sharing the joy of harvest together.
Through this experience of rooftop farming, I have a deeper understanding of agriculture. Agriculture is not just a livelihood, it is an attitude to life, a way to integrate with nature. In the city, through the rooftop farm, I rediscovered the joy of farming, experienced the joy of planting, and paid more attention to the source of food and the production process.
Planting vegetables on the roof of the building, insect control, fertilization, watering, and cutting leeks for a year is not only a practice of urban agriculture, but also a farming experience full of stories. Through this small farm, I have redefined the meaning of urban life and given a new lease of life to the ancient industry of agriculture in the modern city. I hope that more people can join the ranks of this urban farmland and create their own small farming miracles with their hands.
