This vegetable is more expensive than pork, but growing a pot at home costs nothing

Who knows when it started, but growing plants on the balcony has become a trend, and more people feel that the balcony should not just be used for drying clothes, but can also be used to create a new environment with your own efforts. As flower growing gradually became popular, people not only planted flowers and plants on their balconies, but also grew vegetables.

Growing vegetables is indeed a very cost-effective thing to do. This practice not only enriches everyone's spare time and cultivates their own character, but also brings them something to harvest and something to be happy about. It really is a good thing!

Today Huahua is here again to recommend a vegetable to everyone. A few days ago at the market, Huahua saw that some vendors were already selling it. Counting the days, it is also the season to eat asparagus. So Huahua quickly wants to tell friends who want to grow asparagus at home how to grow this asparagus.

Friends who know how to eat well must know that the price of asparagus is by no means low among vegetables, but you get what you pay for. Although asparagus is expensive, its nutritional value is also relatively high among vegetables. Growing asparagus is actually not difficult. Let Huahua explain slowly below.

To grow asparagus, you generally buy seeds from the market, soak the seeds in warm water, around 30 degrees is fine. After soaking for about five days, the asparagus seeds can sprout relatively quickly.

When choosing soil, mainly choose loose and breathable soil, because we are growing from seeds, so it is best if the soil is a bit fertile, as this can help with later sprouting and seedling growth. It is also best to mix in some granular substances like sand and gravel to increase the breathability of the soil.

For seeds that have already been soaked for five days, it is best to place the seeds in a moist towel and let them sit for a period of time. This process is germination. After about three days, check whether the seeds have shown white sprouts. Seeds that have shown white sprouts can then be placed on the prepared soil. Do not bury them too deep; just lightly cover them with a thin layer.

For asparagus that has just started growing, it is best to first place the seedlings in a place with indirect light. When they have grown to about 10 cm to 15 cm, the asparagus can be placed in a sunny spot to grow. Asparagus also likes humid environments, so it is best to keep the soil slightly moist.

Generally speaking, by ensuring sunlight for the asparagus, keeping the soil moist, and applying some organic fertilizer on time, you can grow sturdy asparagus! When the asparagus has grown to about the right size, it can be harvested and brought to the table. When harvesting, be careful not to pull it up by the roots, otherwise the asparagus will stop growing. Just cut it off.

If everyone does not know what to grow on the balcony, you can grow some asparagus! Its nutritional value is very high!
