In order to eat safe vegetables, balcony turns vegetable garden white-collar workers into urban farmers.
balcony, besides drying clothes and placing debris, what else can be done? Grow vegetables! Have you ever thought about it? This is the new use of Ms. Liu's own balcony in a provincial government office: "flower pots grow to tomatoes, nice and tasty!"
Ms. Liu's balcony vegetable garden is quite different. There are many kinds of pepper, cucumber, eggplant, leek and bean sprouts. Now, Ms. Liu often lives in "urban farmers": "every day, we have to pine soil and fertilize the balcony of the small vegetable garden. It is not only satisfying to see that the fruits of their own crops bear fruit, but more importantly, the family members are particularly relieved. The pet dung that is troublesome also changed from Liu's home to treasure, and turned into bio fertilizer after treatment.
in today's city, "balcony vegetable garden" is not a new thing, whether it is the open balcony of the first floor, or the protective fence of the high building, inadvertently look, maybe you can find eggplant, hot pepper, tomato, even bean corner, hanging pumpkin of the shadow. Reporters interviewed found that a series of food safety incidents erupted in the past two years are the main reasons for white-collar workers to compete for urban farmers and develop balcony gardens.
Ms. Liu told a reporter that the big supermarket used to be more credible than the small vegetable field. It would never be wrong to buy expensive food. Now I feel that it is still uneasy to do it. In Qingdao, Ms. Du was conceived in the past year and began to germinate the idea of growing his own seed. Since she had children, he began to pay attention to the information of food and health. Now, the baby is almost two years old, basically eating all kinds of vegetables on its balcony, fresh and healthy.
in fact, the balcony vegetable garden has now become a worldwide fashion, even in foreign cities where organic agriculture is very developed. Because the popularity of the vegetable garden in Zhongyang city can greatly reduce the carbon emissions of the city. The London zero carbon Museum in World Expo, Shanghai has a loud slogan, "London is a big vegetable garden". The reporter learned that the London government encouraged people to transform the balcony, roof, and even any neglected corner of the house into a "vegetable garden". On the one hand, the consumption of vegetables in urban households was basically self-sufficient, greatly reducing the number of vehicles carrying vegetables into the city, which not only reduced the cost of food for the family. It also greatly reduces the carbon emissions from the transportation process; and the garden, which is spread across the balcony and roof, is like putting on a "green energy saving coat" for the building to help the building better heat, heat, dust, reduce the use of air conditioning, and alleviate the urban heat island effect.
the honorary director of the Vegetable Research Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, He Qiwei, the head of the vegetable division of the provincial agricultural expert advisory group, told reporters that the balcony planting is a good thing, there is no problem, it is what kind and how. Now, the seed and the substrate for planting are ready, and there are few species in the home. There are bugs to be solved by hand, and the growing period of the growing vegetables is short, even if the disease is pulled out, it does not need to be taken. He Qiwei suggested that the weather is cold now, you can plant some small cabbage, small rape, spinach, leek and so on cold leaf vegetables, in addition, the home has expired milk, drink not finished soya bean milk can be used as fertilizer, as long as the quantity is not too large.
