During the anti-American war to save the country, many soldiers had to eat rotten vegetables to fight hunger. Dimpled vegetables grow a lot in coastal areas, along rivers and canals. Previously, people freely picked dented vegetables in the sea and sold them. However, for about a decade now, when dented vegetables have been favored by the market, the owners’ beaches have been protected, people are not free to come and pick this wild vegetable anymore. In order to actively source dented vegetables to sell to the market, and before the natural amount of dented vegetables is increasingly depleted, many farmers have organized to plant dented vegetables. Taking advantage of canals and ditches in the garden, farmers pluck wild rotten vegetables from the sea to plant. Currently, in Ho Chi Minh City, vegetables are grown mainly in Bon Phu hamlet, Trung An commune, Cu Chi district. Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh (Bon Phu hamlet), leader of the commune’s vegetable cooperative, shared in Nhan Dan newspaper: “Over the past six years, I have expanded the ditch to bring water from the Saigon River into the family’s fruit garden, then pick rotten vegetables that grow wild and transplant them in the same way as rice transplant.This guy (meaning vegetables) must be planted under another tree to create shade, tolerate fresh water from the river, and adapt to Trung An’s soil, so more seedlings will grow quickly So, my family’s average income from dented vegetables is 250 million VND/year. Seeing that I’m doing well, relatives follow suit, so I’m the “boss”!”. And no longer self-harvesting as in the past due to the growing area, Mr. Thanh asked more farmers in the hamlet to collect daily. Since then, that creates more regular jobs for eight workers per year. To grow dented vegetables, people dig wide ditches to direct water from the canals. Planting method is like sowing seeds, just plug the seedlings down and let them grow on their own, without much care. After one year of planting, it can be harvested. When harvesting, only young shoots are taken. Each stalk is 30-40cm long. Because the dented leaves grow quickly, they have to be picked every day to avoid getting old. The old leaves of the vegetable have many sharp thorns in the middle of the stem, so the picker must always wear long-sleeved clothes, gloves to avoid scratching the skin. When picking vegetables, go along each row so as not to miss young shoots. This job does not require a lot of skills, but it takes endurance and quick hands to wade through the water continuously for a few hours to pick vegetables. For each pound of vegetables, the gardener is paid 6,000 VND. Currently, in Trung An commune, there are still a few dozen people picking wild vegetables. Currently, the price of fresh rotten vegetables is always around 25,000 VND/kg, silage reaches 40,000 VND/kg. Farmers with a water surface of about one thousand m², growing dented vegetables can harvest 150 kg / week, so if they sell fresh vegetables, they also earn 15 million VND / month and this “sales” is even. all year round. As for a person who owns 2.5 hectares of dented vegetables like Mr. Vo Van Horn, every day he picks more than 50 kg of dented vegetables every day, with the current selling price, except for picking he earns nearly 2 million . The young shoots of dented vegetables can be used to process many dishes such as eating raw, squeezing salad, boiling, stir-frying, cooking sour soup, dipping hot pot… (According to GiadinhNet)

“Initially, I only planned to grow vegetables and flowers to have a place for my children to admire and play. Unexpectedly, a year later, I had a green vegetable garden on an area of ​​3m2 of the balcony”, Mr. Nguyen shared. shall. Without much experience and knowledge about farming, for the past year, Nguyen has had to tinker with, learn the characteristics, and how to take care of plants. “Growing vegetables on the balcony will be much more difficult than growing on the terrace, because of the narrow area, lack of sunlight and constant cleaning. Fortunately, my balcony faces east, so it receives sunlight from morning to noon. This makes an important contribution to good green vegetables,” Nguyen said. According to Mr. Nguyen, soil is also an important factor to help plants grow well. He chose a mixed soil consisting of coconut humus, bean residue, rice husk ash and mixed with cow manure and treated vermicompost to plant trees. To create a nutrient-rich soil substrate, Nguyen mixes soil and organic fertilizer at the ratio of 60% soil plus 20% processed cow dung and 20% treated vermicompost. After that, he incubated with lime and put it in a pot. Once a week, he fertilizes vegetables once a week. “When adding fertilizer, I mix soil and fertilizer equally, absolutely no chemical fertilizers. Sometimes, I mix coffee grounds, aloe vera sap when harvesting to make fertilizer.” electromechanical engineer shared. One very important thing to keep the tree healthy is to take care and water it regularly. “If the plant lacks water, it will die or if we over-water the plant, the roots will be waterlogged,” Nguyen said. He also installed an automatic watering system for peace of mind when away from home. In addition to scallions, Mr. Nguyen’s garden also has basil, lettuce, lemon basil, mint, perilla, spinach, spinach, broccoli, aloe vera… Growing vegetables on high-rise balconies will also be attacked by insects or pests. At first, his vegetable garden had a similar situation. To protect vegetables, Mr. Nguyen uses a biological product to irrigate the plants, since then, aphids, aphids, red spiders, rollers, and snails no longer appear. Nguyen at his vegetable garden. Green butterfly pea plant. To grow a variety of plants in a narrow space, Nguyen took advantage of shelves, pots, and plastic bottles. Next, he neatly arranged the planting pots to look both beautiful and grow many different types of plants. From the day he had a balcony garden, Mr. Nguyen took advantage of the morning and afternoon to water, check for pests and diseases as well as the nutritional status of vegetables. Every weekend, his children go out to the balcony to learn about plants and how to care for them, and harvest the fruits themselves.

Nguyen Thi Tham harvests vegetables to prepare for dinner. Tham’s house is at 17F7, Tran Binh Trong Street, Nguyen An Ninh Ward, City. Vung Tau, has 3 floors with an area of ​​more than 100m2. Tham has spent more than 30m2 of the terrace to design a garden with a variety of vegetables and fruits for daily meals. Taking us to visit the garden, Ms. Tham was ready to bring knives, scissors and a basket to store vegetables harvested for dinner. Appearing in front of my eyes is a beautiful and neat garden designed scientifically by Tham and her husband, both to ensure waterproofing for the terrace and for luxuriant fruit trees. Tham’s garden has everything from spinach, collard greens, collard greens, amaranth, water spinach, chives, basil… to hard-to-grow things like mosquito nets, abalone mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, chicken thighs. . In front is a truss of gourd, squash is also fruiting. In addition to vegetables, the garden is also full of flowers with 20 pots of roses, 20 pots of tropical hydrangeas, dozens of orchids, fortune-telling plants, box orchids, jasmine… In a flash, Tham has a basket of vegetables. , fruits of all kinds for dinner. Ms. Nguyen Thi Tham with a very fruity gourd is grown on her terrace garden. In order to have vegetables to eat regularly, she grows by the method of pillowing, which means that when this litter is about to die, another batch is about to be harvested. The same goes for melons, gourds, and squash, when these fruit trees begin to grow old, other fruit trees have climbed up the trellis. Ms. Tham added that, in the face of rampant dirty food on the market, which easily affects health, because she wanted to have clean vegetables for her family, in 2017 when she built this house, she also designed a garden on the yard. upper. Just like that, after finishing her job at the Ministry of Construction’s Nursing Center, she went home to take care of her garden. “There are 3 people in the family, so many times vegetables and fruits can’t be eaten, I pick them down for friends and relatives. In addition, I do more cooking at home, so I also put these clean products into serving customers,” said Tham. Mrs. Ngo Xuan Tho shows off the apple tree planted on the terrace, but it is very wrong Looking at the garden on the terrace with dangling pumpkins, bunches of apples laden with fruit, guava trees are so wrong… few would expect it to be the hand of a 74-year-old woman who still climbs 3 floors every day. Tiny, vertical stairs to the garden. The house is more than 50m2, but both generations live together, so they have to pour 3 panels and make the stairs very small to save space. Climbing to the terrace of the house I wanted to breathe, but Mrs. Ngo Xuan Tho (636/12/9 Truong Cong Dinh, Nguyen An Ninh ward, Vung Tau city) – the owner of that garden was still more agile. Ten times up and down to take care of plants, change the soil, and harvest vegetables without getting tired. Ms. Tho confided that this garden helps her to relax with old age in the city. The garden is not large, only a few tens of square meters, but she feels better thanks to it. “Every time I go to the garden to look at the vine that has grown, hug the trellis and then flower, bud, and bear fruit, I am as happy as meeting you,” said Mrs. Just like that, that small garden has been with her for nearly 20 years, every season. Ms. Tho said that at this time, the weather was rainy, so it was a bit difficult to grow vegetables, although she still had amaranth, water spinach, and cucurbits to eat all day… but the mainstay of the garden in this rainy season is fruit trees. She cherished each apple in the garden, each new ruby ​​guava with her fist, and then rejoiced when harvesting the first American figs, each strawberry brought back from Da Lat. From September onwards until Tet, when it is cold, Ms. Tho can grow kohlrabi, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower… And gourds, squash, melons, eggplants, leafy vegetables are often enough for the whole family. 5-6 people eat. “Actually, I spent tens of millions of dong to buy planter boxes, invest in an automatic irrigation system in the garden, not to mention the cost of seedlings and fertilizers… Considering the economic value, it is not necessarily cheaper. I buy vegetables from the market, but the important thing is that the garden makes me happy, my family has safe vegetables for daily meals, “said Ms. Tho. Lots of families in the city. Vung Tau also chooses to grow vegetables on the terrace to have clean vegetables for family meals. Ms. Le Thi Hai Yen (150/18 Le Loi, Thang Nhi Ward, Vung Tau City) often calls her vegetable growing place “a garden in the clouds”. Yen’s garden is small, just over 10m2, but thanks to clever placement, she can grow everything from green beans, peas, okra, bitter melon to morning glory, amaranth, and spinach. She loves flowers, so her garden also dedicates a small space to plant roses and butterfly flower pots. Rooftop gardening is gradually becoming popular in urban areas. The rooftop garden has contributed a lot to the family’s daily food, reducing a part of monthly shopping costs. For many people, gardening on the terrace is also a hobby to help them reduce stress and fatigue with daily life.

The melon garden on the terrace is 50m2 wide, Ms. Vo Thi Ngoc Anh (born 1990, in District 6, Ho Chi Minh City). Her family designed a hanging system that automatically watered and provided nutrients to the plants. Crispy, sweet melons not only serve the needs of the family, but also give them to relatives and friends. Similarly, Mr. and Mrs. Nguyen Cong Bang (SN 1990, in Tan Phu district, Ho Chi Minh City) also made many people fascinated with the melon garden on the terrace. He and his wife take advantage of the terrace of the house with an area of ​​​​70m2 to plant trees. In addition to vegetables, roses, orchids, they spend 30m2 to grow melons. Big melon, juicy fruit and very sweet to eat. Every day, Ms. To Thuy Hoan (50 years old, in Do Son, Hai Phong) also spends a lot of time taking care of her 50m2 garden. In the season, the garden is ripe and red, and the terrace is very beautiful. When the Covid-19 epidemic appeared, taking advantage of her free time, Ms. Hoan asked for land, Styrofoam boxes and bought seeds … started planting. The amount of land moved up was too much, she had to tie a rope to pull it from the first floor to the terrace. She also makes full use of Styrofoam boxes or plastic buckets as a place to sow seeds. With the crates, she does not punch the bottom, but the edge, about 20 cm from the bottom. Then, she punched a hole in the plastic can and put it on the bottom of the barrel. The mouth of the can is towards the edge of the opaque barrel, making the outlet for water, helping the roots to open, and saving soil. This woman also takes advantage of leftover vegetables, tubers, fruits, and shells of tubers and fruits to put them in the bucket, pour soil on top, then water rice … to form a green manure mixture. Mr. Phan Van Liem’s ​​garden (46 years old, in Tan Phu district, Ho Chi Minh City) is impressed by the “terrible” squash. The area of ​​​​the balconies and terraces on the 4th floor is about 60m2, which he makes full use of planting trees. The largest fruit in his garden weighs more than 34 kg. Previously, he planted ornamental plants to decorate the balcony. After that, when participating in online tree planting associations and groups and visiting some friends’ gardens, he decided to buy pots and land to plant to have clean vegetables and tubers to provide for family meals. The garden is full of fruit. He also grew American figs, kale… Mr. Pham Dang Khoa (Lai Chau City) also makes many people admire with a clean vineyard that he planted and fertilized with his own hands. Although the vines are only grown in boxes less than 1m2 wide, the garden is estimated at 2 quintals. In order to have this vineyard on the 3rd floor terrace, he built a few squares of bricks less than 1m2 wide, pouring soil to plant trees. However, to want the grapes to bear fruit, he worked very hard to fertilize chicken manure and potash fertilizers for the vines. Le Phuong (synthetic)

Previously, he planted ornamental plants to decorate the balcony. After that, when participating in online tree planting associations and groups and visiting some friends’ gardens, he decided to buy pots and land to plant to have clean vegetables and tubers to provide for family meals. The largest squash that Mr. Liem planted weighed 34.4 kg. “At first, it was quite difficult for me to create a garden because I just started doing it, there were still many things to be surprised about. Besides, it is not easy to transport land and materials to the 4th floor by stairs, “he said. He grows plants in paint buckets because they are durable. Before adding soil, he lined the bottom of the barrel with a layer of coal slag, punched holes in the side, about 5cm from the bottom. The coal slag layer is used to retain water and nutrients. If you are busy with work or away from home for a few days and don’t water your plants, naturally, the roots will find themselves at the bottom to absorb water, so you are not afraid of the plants wilting. Regarding the problem of water seeping into the ceiling, Mr. Liem said: “The pots are all raised by me. The barrels are perforated across the side so that if too much water flows out, I know to stop watering. From there, I avoid the phenomenon of water seeping into the ceiling.” Mr. Liem also advises families who want to plant trees on the terrace, right from the start, they should invest in waterproofing ceilings for peace of mind when starting to work. The biggest fruit in Mr. Liem’s ​​garden is squash. Normally, he gets more than 10kg of fruit, the largest fruit is more than 34kg. However, he said, the large fruit is often pale, not good to eat, so he uses it to make jam or cook squash juice to drink every day. In addition to squash, he also planted “terrible” gourds, kale, and American figs… “Kale is a foreign variety, then imported to Vietnam. I found it interesting and researched on my own how to make cabbage grow well. With American figs, currently, the tree has given fruit to eat. Every day the tree gives about 5-7 fruits, very delicious and sweet”, he said. The white bitter melon is almost as big as a 1.5 liter plastic bottle. Seeing that there were friends in the vegetable growing group showing off white, large fruits of bitter melon, he asked for seeds to plant. Each of these bitter melons can be as big as a 1.5-liter plastic bottle. Mr. Liem spends 2-3 hours/day in the morning and 1-2 hours/day in the afternoon for the garden. He usually watered in the morning and afternoon and limited watering in the evening. In his experience, watering in the evening, drenched in water, will become the ideal environment for pests to develop. “Every day, I have to go up to check for pests. Want less pests, you must treat the soil well, helping pathogens from the ground reduce. To prevent pests and yellow flies from damaging the plants from the outside, I hang more camphor balls to keep them away.” At first, the wife was worried that he would have a hard time planting a garden, but now she is more supportive of her husband because the garden makes him happy. In addition, in recent years, their family no longer has to buy vegetables and fruits from the market. Even if he couldn’t eat it all, Liem’s ​​family also brought gifts to friends and relatives. See more pictures of Mr. Liem’s ​​terrace garden: Oversized squash requires a stand. Mr. Liem also planted “terrible” gourd varieties. Bitter melon is almost as big as a 1.5 liter plastic bottle. Not only big, the rig is also very wrong. My figs give very delicious and sweet fruit. The garden also has very large aloe vera plants. The melons are very long. For many years, Mr. Liem’s ​​family did not have to buy more vegetables and tubers at the market. He also gave it to neighbors and relatives. The kale plants planted by Mr. Liem also give very large leaves. His secret is to focus on quality over quantity, planting only one plant in each pot.

Pham Trung Kien and his wife took a photo with a small guava tree with many fruits. The terrace is just over 7m2, but he still makes use of it to grow vegetables and fruit trees. In order for the garden to grow many different types of trees, Mr. Kien designed a climbing platform and then used foam boxes, plastic tanks … to plant trees. In the photo is a gourd frame with fruit. Mr. Kien said that the most difficult thing about planting trees on the terrace is to transport the soil. Moreover, houses are close to each other, so he has to go to the coastal areas or to neighboring provinces to get land. After that, he composted the soil with ash, rice husks, coco coir together with vermi-compost, cow and chicken manure, etc., and put it in a barrel to plant trees. According to Mr. Kien, planting trees on the terrace or on the ground, plant nutrition is the most important thing. In order for the tree to develop well, produce lots of fruit and be delicious, in addition to using organic fertilizers, he also uses skin and fish bones to fertilize the tree. Mr. Kien uses the head, skin, bones … of the squash fish because this fish often has less odor, fishy, ​​to fertilize the plants. Mr. Kien also came up with a way to mix the soil according to his own recipe. Accordingly, he mixed 50-60% of soil and meat with organic fertilizer. “The soil mixed with the organic fertilizer will be mixed with the fish again according to the ratio: 1 layer of soil, 1 layer of skin, bones, fish head. We do that 2-3 layers, then planting any tree is fine”, he to speak. The secret of this man when planting plants on the terrace is to plant seedlings in small pots first. When the plant begins to grow, he will switch the plant to a large pot so that it can easily absorb nutrients from the soil. Then, every day, he watered the tree 2 times. When the plants flower, every 10-20 days, he will add 2-4 tablespoons of bat manure and manure for fruit trees. Mr. Kien also cut off small, bad branches to create conditions for the plump branches to grow. As for guava trees, he often pruned the branches, not to let the branches get too high, each branch cut 2-4 pairs of leaves … so that the tree focused on raising flowers and fruit. Thanks to this secret, whatever he grows, he has a phylum fruit. “There is no entertainment as cheap as planting trees around the house. It feels great to plant, take care of the trees by yourself, and get your own results. It’s more fun when the fruits you grow are not using chemicals.” , Mr. Kien shared. The apples are juicy, crispy and sweet. Knowing that Mr. Kien planted trees on the terrace with good yield, many people came to visit and learn from experience. Whoever comes, he is also willing to share his secret, just where to buy seeds. He also wrote his own recipe for each plant, how to compost, mix soil for everyone. In addition to fruit trees, he also planted sprouts. This vegetable, he and his wife use it to make salads, eat raw … Mr. Kien said that since there was a garden, he always found his life more meaningful. When he is tired at work, he goes to the rooftop to see the branches, exhausted, and tired as disappearing.

Ms. Thuy shared: “Every day, when watching TV or online information, seeing a lot of information about food safety and hygiene … When shopping, I do not know where to sell clean and safe vegetables. So I actively grow vegetables for the whole family to use, ensuring safety ”. Although the planting area is not large, about 10m2, but by the time of harvest, her family has not used up all, meanwhile, if these vegetables are stored for a long time, the quality will be affected or damaged. Therefore, every time she harvests, she shares it with her neighbors and acquaintances to use it. Not far from Thuy’s house, Mr. Le Hoang Vu also takes advantage of the land behind the house to grow vegetables. With an area of ​​about 15 square meters, in addition to leafy trees, such as spinach, broccoli, choysum … Mr. Vu also grows fruit trees, such as chili, papaya … Mr. Vu said. , in order to get a green and healthy vegetable garden, he regularly watered and took care of the plants.

In which mainly leafy plants, such as broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, spinach … or spices, such as: green onion, fish lettuce, herbs, cilantro. .. The planting method is relatively simple, just use soil mixed with decomposed manure, coconut fiber, rice husk ash … then sow seeds to have a small vegetable garden to meet the meal. day. Currently, the cultivation of clean vegetables at home has been positively responded by many people. Foreseeing the above demand, many stores have sold a full range of raw materials: hoes, shovels, pots, fertilizers … to quality seeds. Representative of Thuy Trang seed agent (My Long ward, Long Xuyen city) said that in recent years, the number of retail buyers of all kinds of vegetables has grown strongly. In order that people do not have to buy at many points, the store has imported additional items for sale, such as coir humus, organic fertilizer, biological pesticides … Vegetables and fruit trees are essential foods that are indispensable in the daily meals of families because food safety and hygiene is a top priority for the people. And the fact that households actively create a small garden corner to grow safe vegetables is essential, ensuring family health, contributing to scaling up and raising awareness of using green food. , clean.

Ho Tay embankment, section passing Quang Khanh street, is used by people to grow clean vegetables. Every day, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, a native of Vinh Phuc (a housekeeper for a family on Quang Khanh street) regularly 2 times to water and care for the vegetable garden in the morning and afternoon. The vegetable garden here is very convenient for watering because it is close to the edge of the lake. The soil is poured into concrete holes like the rock-hole cultivation of the Ha Giang people. The guard of a villa on Quang Khanh street also takes advantage of his free time to grow vegetables to improve daily meals. There are all kinds of vegetables such as amaranth, water spinach, spinach, basil, cabbage … depending on the season. Ms. Hoa said that in order to have land to grow vegetables, she had to buy 5,000 VND / bucket, then put it in each concrete hole. Planting right on the edge of the lake, vegetables are always green because water is always enough. Without using plant protection drugs, vegetables here are only fertilized with microbiological fertilizers, so every day, Ms. Hoa has to pull grass by herself and catch worms. Harvest time depends on the growth rate of each vegetable. Water spinach will be harvested after about 1 month from sowing, amaranth after 2 weeks, vegetables usually just over 1 week are already picked … Taking advantage of about 100 meters of the embankment to grow vegetables, Ms. Hoa has enough vegetables for herself and her host family. Sometimes the vegetables grow too fast, she even has to give. Unlike vegetable gardens grown in the style of cultivation on Ha Giang rocky plateau, vegetable gardens on the bank of West Lake embankment, passing Tu Hoa street, are divided into beds like normal vegetable gardens.

A section of West Lake embankment on Quang Khanh Street has been used by people living around this area to grow clean vegetables for about 2 years.

The vegetable garden here is plentiful and diverse in varieties from leafy vegetables, short-term vegetables to spice vegetables. Because it is close to the edge of the lake, the watering problem is always solved.

Mr. Luu (security guard at an apartment in Quang Khanh, Tay Ho) said that there are several families here growing vegetables together. Every day, in the early morning and late afternoon, people will water and take care of vegetables.

The soil is poured into concrete holes like the rock-hole cultivation of the Ha Giang people.

Vegetables here are grown according to the season, depending on the type of vegetables that will be harvested after a few weeks.

Leafy vegetables such as spinach, spinach, amaranth … give quick harvest but quickly run out. Therefore, people here like to intercrop spices because they produce more and last longer.

In addition to watering, people here have to constantly catch worms, and snails destroy every day.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoa, from Vinh Phuc (as a housekeeper for a family on Quang Khanh street) regularly watered and cared for the vegetable garden twice in the morning and afternoon.

Ms. Hoa said that people had to buy land for 5,000 VND / bucket and then pour it into the rocks to grow vegetables.

“Growing vegetables like this is very difficult because the amount of soil is less, the nutrients are also low, so the vegetables grow slowly but not too large. But when growing by themselves like this, we are more assured because the vegetables are self-grown” – Ms. Hoa adds.

Taking advantage of about 100 meters of the embankment to grow vegetables, Ms. Hoa has enough vegetables for herself and her host family. Sometimes the vegetables grew too fast, she even had to give them away.

Without using chemical fertilizers or plant protection drugs, vegetable growers here have to take care of themselves from weeding, catching deep to applying microbiological fertilizers to ensure absolute clean vegetables.
