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, and you do not have to make a special trip to the vegetable market for them. The vegetables you grow look just as beautiful and pleasing at home as potted greenery. If you cannot find pots and containers for growing vegetables, these discarded items from daily life are especially suitable for growing vegetables.

1. Some clay pots that others think are not perfect enough and plan to throw away can be brought back to grow small scallions, garlic, and other seasonings. They are very practical, and the airflow is especially good. You do not need to worry about soil compaction or water accumulation.

2. At home, there are often aluminum basins and the like used for making pasta. Poke a few small holes in the bottom with a nail for airflow 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 are one or two every month, and throwing them away is a waste. Just cut open the top and they can be used as flowerpots to grow vegetables and flowers.

Poke a few small holes in the very bottom, fill with fertile soil, peat soil, plant ash, leaf mold, and the like, and you can freely grow flowers and vegetables.

4. Usually, there are many old washbasins around, and you are reluctant to throw them away, but leaving them there takes up space. It would be better to use them for growing vegetables; the depth is just enough.

5. Usually, when eating snacks and biscuits, a pile of boxes is left over. 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, in large piles, can be filled with soil and sprinkled with 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. Cut an opening in part of a finished mineral water bottle, then directly add soil and plant a few heads of lettuce. They grow especially well.

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

The small tomatoes grown in it should be fertilized often. Whether it is leaves or decomposed vegetable leaves and fruit peels, they can all be used as fertilizer, and the tomatoes hang all over the branches.

9. Old lunch boxes that we usually think are useless and not good-looking enough must exist in every home. They are also especially good as seedling boxes when growing vegetables.

10. As long as you are good at making use of these discarded items in daily 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, especially beautiful vegetables, your mood will also be exceptionally bright!
