A friend grew vegetables in these 7 large containers, and the family hardly needs to buy groceries anymore

Many friends think growing vegetables in flower pots is not worth mentioning, since the vegetables planted can be eaten in a day or two. Actually, this is a bit of a misunderstanding about vegetables. Some vegetables can be harvested continuously. A friend used some discarded containers to grow little vegetable gardens one after another.

1. Plastic bucket vegetable garden

In the small yard above, black small stones were laid, making it very difficult to plant vegetables directly, so some plastic buckets were chosen instead.

You just need to prepare some loose, well-draining soil. What is grown here are all short-season crops like lettuce, choi sum, and celery, and some strawberries were planted too.

2. Plastic bottle vegetable garden

This family went all out to eat fresh organic vegetables. They turned collected plastic bottles into potting containers, set up some racks in the yard, fixed the plastic bottles on them, then directly cut holes in the plastic bottles, added soil, and started growing vegetables. The vegetables grown here are all very short-season ones, such as common lettuce, spinach, and water spinach.

3. Wine barrel vegetable garden

Some discarded wooden wine barrels can also be properly modified into containers for growing vegetables. What is planted on top are strawberry seedlings, and it is believed that a full harvest of strawberries will come soon.

4. Foam box vegetable garden

Do not throw away discarded foam boxes. They are actually excellent containers for growing vegetables. You can drill holes in the bottom and sides of the foam box, fill it with some loose, well-draining soil, and then you can start growing vegetables. Remember to supplement fertilizer regularly and keep it in a spot with plenty of sunlight.

5. Plastic bucket vegetable garden

In daily life there are often discarded paint buckets or trash cans, and they can all be properly modified into very practical potting containers. You can drill holes in the bottom and sides, lay a layer of small pebbles at the bottom, and after filling with soil, you can grow vegetables.

6. Food bag vegetable garden

Some very durable food bags can also be transformed into potting containers. You can drill holes in the bottom of the bag, add soil, and grow all kinds of vegetables. What is planted above are tomatoes. Use supports around the bag, and it can become a wonderful little vegetable garden.

7. Palm fiber hanging planter

The flower pot above is a container made from an iron frame combined with palm fiber. On top, you can grow some shallow-rooted vegetables, and you can also drill holes on the sides to plant some small vegetables. It can be hung directly on a balcony or windowsill, forming a charming vegetable display.
