6 solutions for growing clean vegetables for small houses

(Baonghean.vn) -You want to grow your own clean vegetables but your house is too small? With the 6 ways below, you will be able toGreat solution to help you grow a vegetable garden as desired and quality.

1. Growing vegetables in boxes and pots

We can use old boxes, foam boxes, and plastic pots to grow vegetables. This model is quite simple and suitable for terraces, balconies, or some areas around the house. You just need to spread a thin layer of fabric or small pebbles, sawdust at the bottom of the box and then attach handles on both sides for easy movement.

Do not sow too many seeds in each box because densely packed plants will not have enough nutrients. Large plants such as peppers, tomatoes, and cucumbers should be planted in separate boxes. Herbs such as basil, coriander, onions, etc. can be sown in combination.

2. Growing vegetables in plastic pipes

The model of growing vegetables in plastic pipes also solves the need for clean vegetables for small housing areas and land.

Choose plastic pipes with sizes depending on the types of vegetables you plan to grow, drill round holes evenly spaced.

The plastic pipe can be placed vertically or horizontally according to the planting position, filled with organic potting soil on top of a thin layer of gravel spread underneath and proceed to sow the seeds.

Plastic pipes are also designed to suit hydroponic vegetable growing methods to maximize savings on fertilizer, irrigation water and care.

3. Planting in barrels

For small spaces such as porches and balconies, we can reuse spacious barrels to "transform" them into unique vegetable growing areas.

Prepare a barrel and then create holes for planting trees alternately and evenly. In the middle of the barrel, install a plastic pipe with a diameter of 16-20 cm. This plastic pipe is where organic waste is stored; at the bottom of the barrel, there is a bucket to collect water flowing from the barrel to use as fertilizer for the plants.

Plants grown in the holes absorb the same amount of light and nutrients. This tiered tower only takes up the same area as a large styrofoam box but can grow 7-8 times more vegetables.

4. Growing in bottles/hanging baskets

Growing vegetables by using bags, baskets, plastic bottles, etc. and hanging them high to free up floor space is a smart method for urban housing.

You can also combine hanging baskets on the trellis and grow vegetables in foam boxes below to make the most of the terrace area; Vegetables suitable for this growing method are herbs, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, etc.

Not only that, if you invest in beautiful bottles, baskets, bags, and pots, they will also contribute to making your home space more impressive.

5. Use step shelves

This type of ladder shelf is very suitable for small balconies. Just a corner of the balcony is enough for you to create a small vegetable garden.

Besides, you can also use this vegetable shelf right in front of the house to create a landscape. Green vegetable pots can completely replace flower pots and ornamental plants, contributing to making the air fresher.

6. Vertical wall garden

Vertical wall garden is made from composite plastic - does not break, bend or become brittle when exposed to heat; suitable for growing plants indoors, outdoors or growing substrates.

This method can also use cloth bags with the number of compartments depending on the needs and the surface where it needs to be hung. Then you just need to create a fixed horizontal bar and use a hook to hang it up; create drainage holes, fill 2/3 of the organic soil, sow seeds and use a spray bottle to moisten, avoid pouring too much water because the cloth bag is difficult to drain.

You can make vertical wall gardens indoors or outdoors, on the ground or on a substrate; creating a unique space, both with clean vegetables and decorating the house.
