China Science News, April 17 (reporters Wang Jian) "with little popularity, and the aiqiushan. Miss dust network, one to 30 years. Some nostalgia the Bush, Chi Yusi Yuan. Wasteland South of wild, keep Yuan Tian. "The ancient Tao seems to print, old garden, today's people live in the concrete jungle of the city, more longing for the Green Idyll of nature.
Two years ago, tenants to grow vegetables in the suburbs became the city returning to pastoral way. But in recent years, this enthusiasm has faded, replaced by another, more "light" and "farming" method: balcony gardening.
Zhang Shangshu, "$literal", returning from studying abroad, working for a newspaper in Beijing. In her usual job, likes going outing. This year, Zhang Shangshu suddenly obsessed with balcony gardening. Just going into the spring, when the weather is warm indefinite, she often bask in the micro-circle of friends furnish some of her new "Tools": flower pot, flower, hoe, spade, watering pot, nutrition, soil, grass, ... ...
A reporter asked her: what kind of food? Species in where? "Now balcony gardening fashionable now, organic living! "She told reporters, many of his friends in their gardening to grow vegetables on the balcony, watching the" envious ".
Domestic food safety concerns in particular, vegetables "pesticide residues" is very serious. If I could plant some vegetables on the balcony like friends, though not necessarily daily dish problem can be solved, but the fruits of their labor, tastes should worship. Saying just do it, and it took her two days to clean up the usual heap of debris on the balcony, carved out a site, found a home for the newly bought Flowerpot. Then, the proportional mix of soil and fertilizer nutrients into the pot, the next step is seeding. Because it is the first time I tried, as "entry level" by the experienced friend, Zhang Shangshu advice, and chose the best of vegetables: lettuce, leek and chicken dishes.
During the Ching Ming Festival, Zhang Shangshu carefully with warm water over the seeds into the soil. Because this spring temperatures rise quickly, a week later, seeds germinated. "Now Diamondback seedlings are grown as tall as a little finger, have grown three or four leaves. ” Zhang Shangshu tone filled with joy, "water them every morning, came home from work, the first thing is to look at how many plants were taller. On the balcony watching a green, heart happy! ” She now with "urgent" two words really appropriate, "waiting for my vegetables are harvested, going to give my grandfather, grandmother, let them try.
Happy with yourself Qin ming was a Party Secretary of the Institute, has been retired for several years. By chance, the China Science News reporter saw Qin ming, glowing he and reporters talk about life after retirement.
He told reporters: "I have a large terrace, planted some vegetables and flowers. Wait on them every morning, when farmers at home. ” Qin said, now older, sleep less, it does not light up, the first thing to go on the terrace, watching the dew on a leaf, breathing the fresh air, nice! "The ability to grow vegetables when I was young in rural areas in a line and lay a good foundation-I used to be a good farmer! ” Qin told reporters, their vegetables are grown in long strips of basin, basin were neatly lined up, left to walk in the middle of the channel. This "Garden" Although not large, the many varieties, cabbage, tomato, pepper, bitter melon, garlic, green onions, at the request of granddaughter grow strawberries.
In order to let the baby vegetables grow better, Qin Ming don't even have outside balcony. Can also have disadvantages, "last year, a HailStorm destroyed half of my food, grapes were all smashed up, my love ... ..." Qin Ming reminded of last summer that hail, still shocked. However, Qin Ming to grow vegetables as well as beginner's mind does not change, as soon as the spring of this year and planted a cucumber, gourd, squash. Higher than a man of Chinese Toon tree in a pot, and this year has cut stubble ... ... "I is fun. "Qin Ming smiled and said.
Vegetable man "planting vegetables" Living in the Beijing suburb of shunyi Niu Jian, organic is very famous in the world, is a true vegetable-lovers. Referring to balcony gardening, he immediately opened the conversation, talking about "food".
Niu Jian told reporters of the China Science News, ordinary residence, if you grow vegetables on balcony, does have its limitations. First, the average family used the balcony. It blocked the wind and dust, but also blocking out the Sun was shining. Niu Jian, said: "General 3 mm thick glass light transmittance is of 85%, that is, it can filter out 15% Sun, and now many are 5 mm thick layer of glass, which means to filter out more than half of the Sun. "Life growth relies on the Sun, thick glass will affect the growth of plants.
Niu Jian said, new to growing vegetables for the first time, in selecting the pot very particular about. Due to living conditions, balconies are very narrow, in order to meet the needs of space, be sure to select the tray at the bottom of the Strip. Basin end of of tray has two a benefits, a is pot once leaking, tray on up to received water of role; II is, for novice for, watering volume is most not easy master of, and tray up to a watering volume of indicates role, generally, as long as put water poured to chassis Shang, using soil of siphon role, water on automatically was sucking up has, tray once dry has, on said the watering has, this is on novice for very useful.
Vegetables must be better. Don't go to paotu from a community green space, a garden, and is contrary to the public interest; the second is due to pest control needs, where soil contains a lot of pesticides, with the soil planting vegetables grown there will be a certain amount of "pesticide residues", which runs counter to the "green" vegetables in the first place. Earth choice, preferably to the flower market or store purchase prepared nutritious soil.
Newbie's first technical, is sowing. Seeding depth and density are important. First poured nutrient soil permeability, and then at long Bowl hand painted two or three intervals consistent Groove, depth is also critical principles by hand "by" down the thickness of about 1 cm of depth. This depth is important, too deep, too shallow affected seedling emergence.
In addition, varieties of vegetables is very important. Lettuce is the best choice, one can plant all year round; second, the basic health and pest and disease; the third is so many varieties of lettuce, the leaves have red, green, leaf shape is also more like a flower, very beautiful; four are particularly suitable for impatient people, put water down a slight flush can be eaten directly.
When a reporter asked if the vegetables are worms, how to choose the right kind of insecticide, Niu Jian, said: "vegetables once bugs that I would like to congratulate you, your home environment is very good! "He asked:" why pest control? Don't kill the heart, trying to bug out. We humans and flies, mosquitoes, bedbugs have tens of thousands of years, there is no fighting. ”
Actually in bug of problem Shang has several solution approach: first, select those basic not health bug of varieties, like lettuce, and amaranth, and fungus dish, and water spinach and so on; second, take season avoided of way solution bug problem, like, June is bug more sent period, if in April sowing cherry small radish, after one months from sowing to mature, on can eat to not health bug of radishes has. If you select May sow, to June time period to pest, radishes will definitely bug. Therefore, some more aphid of vegetables such as radishes, Chinese cabbage, rape, you can choose spring sowing, not planting in hot days. Chili, tomato, sponge gourd is not likely to have bugs, you can later seeding ... ...
Niu Jian eloquently said, with worms and treat any thing, to heart, and the pursuit of harmony and sharing. Vegetables, too, it is an attitude towards life, know how to comply with the nature, will have a good harvest of vegetables, our life to be happy, like Tao, "a long time in a cage, I have restored to nature
