Using discarded foam boxes to grow vegetables on the balcony, the yield is enough to feed the whole family for a year

Speaking of growing vegetables on the balcony, although we don't expect much of a yield, being able to eat a few bites now and then is satisfying enough. But when you see others harvesting basket after basket of vegetables from their balconies, you can't help but feel envious! Come on, today let's take a look at a fellow grower using foam boxes to grow vegetables on the balcony. This yield really makes us "envious, jealous, and hateful"!

Sugarcane can even be grown in foam boxes? Look how sturdy it has grown

One foam box can hold two tomato plants, and the tomatoes bear quite a lot of fruit. Once they ripen, they can be picked

If the tomato plants grow tall, you can also use stakes to let them climb, growing into little tomato trees

Celtuce is also a vegetable quite suitable for balcony growing. After thinning the seedlings, plant 2-4 in one foam box

Eggplants grown in foam boxes also grow well

Fellow growers, take a look at what vegetable this is. Yes, it's taro. It looks ready to harvest

The last photo is of cowpeas. Look at how great they're growing, so many they look like noodles being dropped into a pot

Of course, one thing to stress: experts say that if you use safe foam boxes to grow vegetables, they are non-toxic. Their components take decades to decompose, but it is recommended to replace them with new foam boxes after one season. However, although foam boxes are lightweight and save money, if conditions allow, it is still better to switch to tile pots or ceramic planting pots.
