Old washbasins and waste oil drums aren't worth much, but grow garlic in them and you'll have more garlic sprouts than you can eat in a year

Growing flowers and vegetables has become part of daily life now. Even without a small yard, many people still grow some potted flowers, and even vegetable seeds, on their balconies. Speaking of balcony container growing, for those who love growing flowers, reusing old items is probably the most fun. For example, using fermented rice water to water flowers, or using water from washing vegetables to water flowers, and so on - these all fall into the category of reusing old items and turning waste into treasure. Today, Potted Plant Stack is sharing another little trick from daily life. First, let me ask you all a question: I wonder, how do you dispose of your old washbasins and waste oil drums? To be honest, throwing them away feels a bit wasteful, and selling them won't even get you 1 yuan for the two combined. Better to put them to use yourself.

Old washbasins and waste oil drums aren't worth selling for money - better to grow garlic in them this way, and you'll have more garlic sprouts than you can eat in a year

Seeing the picture above, most flower lovers probably have the urge to give it a try themselves, right? An old washbasin you no longer use isn't worth much money, and it takes up space at home anyway. It's really better to just fill the basin with some nutrient soil, as shown above, and grow flowers and vegetables directly. Besides garlic, you can also use it to grow scallions, cilantro, sprout vegetables, and more. Old washbasins can really be considered excellent waste material. If you put them to use this way, I believe you'll get plenty of gardening fun and bring some lovely feelings into your life.

What are the benefits of growing garlic in an old washbasin?

As I just said, an old washbasin is a great place to grow garlic. And for the garlic itself, it's naturally good too. Why do I say that? Because garlic grows very quickly. Growing garlic in an ordinary flower pot or in the ground takes up a lot of space. If you grow it in a washbasin like this, tender little garlic sprouts will appear in about a week. It doesn't take long - if the nutrient soil is right and you water properly, you can harvest in just about a month! Then sow another round, and over a year you can easily grow over a thousand jin.

Besides old washbasins, waste oil drums are also great for growing garlic

The various cooking oils used at home - once you've finished the oil, the leftover oil drums, to be honest, won't even sell for 2 fen to a scrap collector, yet throwing them away directly feels wasteful. Such a big empty bottle isn't suitable as a watering tool either - it's too big. Growing garlic in it is the best way to use it. Just like in the picture above, poke several dozen to a hundred small holes in the surface of the waste oil drum. Then fill it with loose, fertile nutrient soil, and finally pop the garlic cloves in one by one. This way of growing garlic, I'd say, saves even more space than an old washbasin!

The key point is that growing garlic in a waste oil drum makes daily management and care very simple and easy. As for fertilizer, just add it directly when you first make the nutrient soil. You can use fermented soybeans or sun-dried barnyard manure. Watering is even simpler - two ways. One is to water directly through the opening of the waste oil drum, and the other is to spray water on the outer surface. In short, it's very practical for growing garlic!

That's the garlic-growing trick I wanted to share. Thanks for reading!
