Growing vegetables at home, just one food storage container and one pot will do; easy to grow, nice to look at, and you'll have vegetables to eat every month

Autumn is the sowing season and also a great time to grow vegetables. Plant a few pots of green vegetables on your balcony at home; they're pleasing to the eye and endlessly fun. Your family can also join in the process of growing vegetables, and you can harvest batch after batch of fresh vegetables, picking them whenever you want to eat. But you really want to grow your own vegetables, yet can't find suitable containers for growing them, and don't want to spend too much money buying them. What should you do?

Growing vegetables on the balcony, a washbasin and a food storage container are enough; every pot grows vigorously, and the harvest is quite good!

Growing vegetables in a washbasin: there must be plenty of discarded or old containers and unused items at home. If you throw them away it's a pity, but if you don't, they just take up space piled up at home. Better to use them for growing vegetables and make full use of them. For example, every household must have lots of washbasins, plastic basins and the like. These can also be used for growing vegetables.

Heat a piece of wire on the gas stove, then burn a few small holes in the washbasin, fill it with soil, and you can scatter seeds and grow vegetables; they'll still grow lush and vigorous. After finishing one round, keep sowing and keep growing. Small greens like these can be sown every month of the year; you thin them out and eat them while they grow, so you'll have something to eat every month.

Growing vegetables in oil drumsAfter finishing cooking oil or soybean oil, you're sure to have lots of oil drums; you probably throw away several every month. Actually, we can keep them to grow vegetables, which is fairly clean and hygienic, and they're just the right size for growing vegetables.

Just cut off the end with the lid, or cut it open, burn a few small holes in the bottom for ventilation and drainage, and then fill it with fertile soil to grow vegetables. Growing a bit of scallion or seasonings is very suitable. Once you've picked and eaten them, they'll keep growing.

Growing vegetables in food storage containers and lunch boxesIf you have lots of lunch boxes and food storage containers at home but can't use them all up, and it's a pity to throw them away, you might as well use them for growing vegetables too. Use a nail to poke a few ventilation holes in the bottom, then fill with soil and scatter a few seeds, and that's it.

Place them on a balcony with plenty of light, and the vegetables grow very fast, with different changes every day. Pick the leaves to eat whenever you want, and after eating them they'll keep growing.

If you still have empty boxes, old flower pots or foam boxes at home, they can all be used to grow a few vegetables. If you can't find soil, just take a shovel and a bag and go dig some up in the countryside on the weekend.

There are also milk powder cans, tin cans and the like; as long as you poke a few small holes in the bottom and fill them with soil, they become vegetable-growing wonders. Very simple and convenient; grow some lettuce, greens or seasonings, pick and eat as you like, tasty and pleasing to the eye!
