1 can play a role in greening and beautifying the environment.
The balcony, windowsill and terrace at home, such as a pot of green and generous potted vegetables, can add a little spirituality and vitality to the home. For example, make cherry tomatoes of different colors into potted vegetables suitable for indoor display. When ripe, clusters of small tomatoes hang down heavily, some are red, some are still green, hidden in leafy vines, full of interest. After careful care and pruning, it is not like ordinary vegetables, but has become a beautiful bonsai, which can add a delicious taste to your table at harvest time.
2. You can eat fresh, safe and secure organic vegetables.
At present, food safety accidents occur frequently in China. In vegetable production, some vegetable farmers often invest a lot of chemicals such as pesticides, fertilizers and hormones to improve the yield and appearance of vegetables in order to pursue their own interests in growing vegetables, which leads to more and more serious pesticide pollution of vegetables, leading to frequent vegetable (vegetable food) pollution and acute poisoning after eating. Moreover, in recent years, due to the intensification of the global "greenhouse effect", the climate change around the world is abnormal, extreme natural weather often occurs, and natural disasters frequently occur, which has a serious impact on vegetable cultivation in the field, and the vegetable output has declined, leading to the increase in vegetable prices year after year. Planting potted vegetables by oneself overcomes the adverse effects of bad weather conditions on vegetable growth, and the whole growth stage is managed by individuals themselves, which can put an end to vegetable pollution and eat vegetables with confidence.
3, can increase income and reduce expenditure, physical and mental health.
Planting potted vegetables at home can not only play the role of leisure, health preservation, utilization of space, greening of the environment, increasing living in the room, but also play the role of energy saving, carbon reduction and low-carbon life, and can also reduce family food expenditure to a certain extent.
In addition, after work, people plant potted vegetables in family courtyards and balconies, and perform watering, fertilizing, pruning and other operations in the process of planting vegetables, which can not only relieve visual fatigue, adjust rigid sitting posture, restore healthy posture, but also exercise the muscle movements of people's hands, feet and waist, and achieve healthy development in emotion, physical fitness, cognition, creativity and spirit. It is a good way to relieve stress for the elderly and young people with great pressure.
4. It can alleviate the shortage of urban vegetables and enrich the citizens' vegetables, grasses and blueberries.
In recent years, China's urbanization process has been accelerating, and there is less and less cultivated land around the city, and the land used for growing vegetables is becoming more and more tense. According to statistics, if 80% of the vegetable supply in Hangzhou depends on transportation from other places, if natural disasters or bad weather affect the traffic around the road, it is difficult to transport vegetables from other places, and the vegetable supply in urban areas will be very tight. If families with conditions can plant several pots of vegetables to get twice the result with half the effort, the total amount of vegetables will be considerable, which can alleviate the tight supply of vegetables in cities to some extent.
Potted vegetables are not only ornamental, but also edible. In addition, they are not limited by regions and seasons, and they grow fast and have few pests. It can be planted at any time all year round, which is really an excellent choice for family planting.
