Fill the whole balcony with old washbasins and empty oil drums, and the chili peppers and tomatoes grow strong and can be picked every day

Grow a few pots of vegetables at home, especially the ones you eat often like lettuce, chili peppers, and tomatoes. Pick them whenever you want, without making a special trip to the vegetable market. The vegetables you grow look just as beautiful and pleasing as potted green plants at home. If you cannot find pots and containers for growing vegetables, these discarded items from daily life are especially suitable for growing vegetables.

Growing chili peppers in oil drums

1. Some clay pots that others think are not perfect enough and plan to throw away, take them back and grow some scallions, garlic, and other seasonings in them. They are very practical, and the air permeability is especially good. No need to worry about soil compaction and water accumulation.

2. At home, there are often some aluminum basins used for making pasta and the like. Poke a few small holes in the bottom with a nail for air and drainage, and they are especially suitable for growing baby bok choy. In one month you can pick the leaves and eat them.

3. The most common thing in the kitchen is the empty oil drums left after finishing soybean oil or peanut oil. There will be one or two every month, and it is a pity to throw them away. Just cut open the top and they can be used as flower pots to grow vegetables and flowers.

Poke a few small holes in the lowest position, fill with fertile soil, peat soil, plant ash, leaf mold, and the like, and then you can grow flowers and vegetables however you like.

4. Usually, there are many old washbasins that you are reluctant to throw away. Leaving them there still takes up space, so it is better to use them for growing vegetables. The depth is just enough.

5. You often eat snacks and cookies, leaving behind a pile of boxes. Poking a few small holes in the bottom is also very easy, and you can directly fill them with soil to grow some vegetables. Quite suitable.

6. Yogurt cups, a whole pile of them, fill with soil, sprinkle some green vegetable seeds, and they sprout very quickly too.

As long as the soil is fertile enough, the small green vegetables grown in milk cartons placed on the windowsill grow especially lushly.

7. Mineral water bottles after drinking, cut an opening in part of them, then directly put in soil, and plant a few lettuce plants. The growth is especially good.

8. If you have a terrace, and if there are leftover floor tiles or ceramic tiles from decoration, as long as you are a bit handy, build a simple vegetable bed and grow a small vegetable garden with a abundant harvest.

The small tomatoes planted in it, if you fertilize them often, whether it is leaves or decomposed vegetable leaves and fruit peels, all can be used as fertilizer, and the tomatoes bear fruit all over the branches.

9. Old lunch boxes that we usually think are useless and not good-looking enough, every household must have them, right? Using them as seedling boxes when growing vegetables is also especially good.

10. As long as you are good at making use of these discarded items in life, lettuce, fennel, cilantro, chili peppers, and so on can all be grown, and you can eat fresh vegetables you grew yourself at home.

Looking at these green and especially beautiful vegetables, your mood will also be exceptionally bright!
