Did you hoard? There are a group of people who have achieved “vegetative freedom” by growing vegetables on the balcony。
The balcony grows the vegetables -- and the spirit is satisfied
In the two months since the outbreak, in 2020, a group of “90s” couples began to grow “into the pit” on the balcony, using 5. 9 square metres of the balcony, growing onions, pickles, chicken cabbage, cherries, lemons and so on, so that they could enjoy the food they had grown. Owing to the existence of a vegetable garden in the city, the couple continue to grow and grow in the midst of an outbreak。
The balconies not only help young people achieve “vegetative freedom” during special times, but also give them spiritual satisfaction. In recent years, balconies have evolved into a new trend among urban youth。
“the rise of balconies does not occur during the epidemic. As china's economy continues to develop, consumption continues to rise, and urban dwellers need more spiritual life, which is one of the main contexts in which balconies grow.”
The director of the national agricultural market research centre of the chinese university of agriculture, han iljun, stated that urban agriculture and balconies were extremely important ways of alleviating the anxiety of the urban population, and that horticultural therapy played to some extent an irreplaceable role in horticulture and gave people a sense of pleasure, work, responsibility and access to the process of growing them。
It's a great idea
In order to harvest full vegetables from their own balcony, fruit and vegetables specialists have taught the balcony to grow “good tricks”。
One is variety. Most urban households have a limited number of balcony areas and are therefore required to select suitable varieties for planting。
The vice-president of the vegetables institute of the academy of agricultural sciences of jiangsu province, wei ping, said that the balconies were recommended for hydroponic and nuclei cultivation, either in a cleaner environment or in a safer process。
In addition, the general household balcony is more limited in relation to the space environment, especially light, so from the point of view of planting, breeding selections take into account vegetables that require less stringent light requirements, taking into account growth speed, non-harvesting rates, quality and a certain appreciation, such as the choice of oilseeds, spinachs, lettuces and pickles。
For a larger balcony, a safe can be chosen to plant cucumbers, tomatoes, etc。
Two is soil. Often, the household balcony is used to grow the vegetables, which are smaller in size and, if the land is selected, the nutrient content is lower and the silt sheet is easy. It is suggested that a more fertile soil be chosen, either to buy nutrient soil or to find a direct leafy soil。
In order for soil nutrients to be sufficient, many people have chosen organic fertilizers that are readily accessible, such as those fermented with fish scab bones, decomposed vegetables and fruits, which are added to the soil when the soil is made, not only to increase nutrients but also to defusing the soil。
Three is light. All things depend on the sun, and ordinary vegetables must have sufficient light to ensure that the vegetables grow so fast, that the flowering results are greater, and that the light is accompanied by some ventilation in the environment。
New billion
According to statistics, on the poaching platform, a new market of billions of yuan has been created for an interest-oriented economy, covering the entire life cycle of vegetable growth, including fruit and vegetable seeds, flowers, nutrients, fertilizers, gardening tools, etc. More than 70 per cent of the consumers who grow their vegetables on the balcony come from the cities of the 12th and 3rd line. Of these, shanghai, dong jing, beijing, suzhou and guangzhou are among the top five cities most interested in growing their vegetables on the balcony, mostly from “85 to “95”。
In the first quarter of this year, the sale of vegetable seeds of all types on the porcupine cat platform rose sharply, with the purchase of seeds increasing by more than 100 per cent for the third consecutive year。
With the proliferation of balcony dishes, a number of new brands and business opportunities have emerged from electric power platforms. Today, searching for “pornage on the balcony” on electric power platforms such as poaching and kyoto, a large number of agricultural stores and products such as seeds, fertilizers, appliance, and smart vegetable machines can be retrieved。
New business growth path
The korean first army has indicated that balconies are an integral part of the balcony economy, as well as of the balcony farms, urban agriculture, and even a new business pattern of integration of the country's three productions, which has had a significant impact on the entire industrial chain。
“to promote the development of this new business, it is more important that businesses and platforms play a role.” the korea one army has stated that market players such as businesses, platforms and others should combine the individual consumption needs of the population, highlighting the fashion, technology, taste, accessibility, convenience, operation, safety and constant innovation of the entire industrial chain of the balcony。
He said that electricians had an important role to play in that process, as they could use big data to capture the most sensitive information in the shortest time possible, discovering the latest individualized and diversified consumption needs of consumers in the balcony and, in addition, helping to connect the various market players across the entire industrial chain, should continue to play a leading role in the development of this new business innovation。
