Hello my loving Hivers,
What's up guys? Greetings from Sri Lanka. Today in the morning, I had to go to a friend's house during my school days, so I took leave on official duty. Although he was not a big earner, his interest must be appreciated. Since his house was only 10 km away from my house, I traveled alone by motorcycle. Seeing his garden, my heart leaped with joy because several crops had already been started. He mentioned that he got a nutritious and fresh harvest every few months by planting and nursing the plants together with his wife. So I hope to explain about it through today's content.
A story told by many is that there is no time for cultivation. Nowadays, it is not really difficult for the people to carry out gardening with the abundance of work. The main reason for this problem is that the people of our country do not want to use a remedy for these things. Everyone living in a house can be engaged in various duties. Because of this, maintaining a large garden is difficult with carelessness. But instead of big beds, we have the ability to do small cultivation like my friend in a potted structure. It does not require special time. Dedicating any time of the day for this is enough.
Eggplant cultivation can be done very easily. Trees begin to flower and bear fruit when they are young. Steps should be taken to protect leaves and flowers from small insects. With proper care, more eggplants can be harvested.
Potted cultivation is especially suitable for urban areas. Many people complain that it is difficult to cultivate in a small amount of space, there is not enough space, and the space is limited. But potted cultivation does not require a large amount of space. Discarded tires, rice bags, plastic bottles, pots used for growing flowers can be used to grow vegetables. They do not require frequent weeding.
A very hot type of green chili was found in my friend's garden. Using them especially when making fish curry or chicken curry brings out a strange taste. A friend gave me some pods. These spicy green chillies are more expensive in the market.
Did you know that vegetables can be grown for garden decoration? For example, green leaves, spinach, radish can be grown beautifully and can also be consumed. In addition to this, there are plants with beautiful leaves that can be used as vegetables. When the prices of vegetables have risen in the world, if you can dedicate half an hour of your day to grow even one vegetable, you can add non-toxic vegetables to your diet. If there is a need, we can't manage time like my friend.
Also, there are many ways that people who live in apartments can grow vegetables very easily. Most apartments have balconies. You can grow vegetables like tomato, chili, okra by using rice bags and pots. Also, residents with limited space can introduce a bed cultivation method that can be grown vertically. It is easy to grow leaves such as Kankung and Mukununanna by vertical cultivation.
The use of compost fertilizer is more beneficial to the cultivation than the chemical fertilizer packet brought from the market. Making this compost at home is not a difficult task. You can easily make compost by using materials such as tea leaves, discarded vegetables and leaf litter at home. Plastic containers and concrete bins designed specifically for composting are available in the market at low cost. If not, you can surround a small space in the garden by planting sedges, cover it with a net cloth and make a compost bin. Also, we can get a non-toxic fruit by using compost fertilizer instead of using chemical fertilizers.
As my friend's wife mentioned, it is very important to choose pots according to the nature of the crop in pot cultivation. The pot should change as the plant grows. Therefore, pots should be selected according to the growth form of the plants. It should also bear a low cost in choosing the bins. Discarded fertilizer bags, rice bags, rain gutters, tires, damaged plastic containers can be used and it is necessary to use a systematic way to drain the water. It was understood during the conversation that his wife has some knowledge about agriculture.
