Religious and cultural communities across East Asia are of the opinion that there should be a space to visit the deceased. (Source: Getty Images) As the global population continues to grow, the space to bury the dead in their final resting place has become a luxury. In some major cities in the US as well as in some other countries around the world, cemetery land is seriously lacking. At the same time, many countries are transforming burial rites, changing the way cemeteries work, and even demolishing historic cemeteries to reclaim land for the living. In Singapore, for example, the government forcibly demolished family graves and replaced them with burying houses cremation . Land for graves in cities is also valid for only 15 years, after which the remains are cremated and that space is left to the next person. In Hong Kong, cemetery land is considered the most expensive real estate per square meter and the government has resorted to the influence of pop stars and other celebrities to encourage people to cremate instead. for burial. Wood burial As early as the 1970s, Japanese officials were concerned about the lack of space burial in urban areas. They offer many novel solutions, from building cemeteries in towns far from the city, where families can organize a vacation to visit loved ones, to renting buses. to bring the dead body to burial in the countryside. Beginning in 1990, the Grave-Free Promotion Society, a voluntary social organization, openly supported the cremation and scattering of the ashes of the deceased. Since 1999, the Shōunji temple in Northern Japan has been trying to come up with a more creative solution to the cemetery land shortage crisis in the form of “wood burial” or Jumokusō. During this burial, families place the ashes of the deceased on the ground and plant trees on top of the ashes to mark the grave site. A smaller temple named Chishōin was also built and placed in a small forest. Here, every year the monks perform a ritual to pray for the deceased. Their families and relatives can still visit and perform religious ceremonies here. Social Transformation The idea of ​​a wooden burial is gradually gaining popularity in Japan. Temples and many other public cemeteries have begun to adopt this model. Scholar Sébastian Penmellen Boret wrote in her 2016 book that the form carpentry burial reflects the larger changes in Japanese society. After World War II, Buddhism’s influence on Japanese society declined as hundreds of new religious movements blossomed. (Source: yahoo.com) In addition, increasing urbanization has eroded the traditional relationships inherent between families and local temples, where their ancestors’ graves are buried and cared for. Method burial Under the trees is also significantly less expensive than traditional burial methods. This is an important thing for many Japanese who are struggling to make ends meet. Religious and cultural communities across East Asia are of the opinion that there should be a space to visit the deceased. According to Confucian tradition, every son is responsible for taking care of his parents, grandparents, and deceased ancestors through ritual offerings of food and other items. During the Obon festival usually held in mid-August, Japanese Buddhists will visit the family graves and make food and drink for their ancestors, as they believe that the deceased will visit the world. humanity during this time. The ancestral offerings are repeated every six months at the spring and autumn equinoxes, called “ohigan”.

If you mix shrubs, you need to choose 3-4 varieties, don’t choose too many or you will get confused. Priority is given to varieties with beautiful leaves, larger size to make the main point, the rest are varieties with small leaves or different leaf shapes and colors to honor the main tree. Arrange trees and shrubs in Wall house (CTA|Creative Architects).

The planting locations are usually arranged in the front, backyard or atrium, skylight to meet the above requirements as well as increase the aesthetics of the building. In addition, for large plants, it is required to avoid positions such as beams and large beams because of structural safety factors. In addition, homeowners need to have techniques for planting planting holes to avoid the influence of tree roots on the construction.

Especially both love nature, want to do something on the countryside land. The couple came together from a love of gardening. “I started to get inspired about gardening, growing plants, producing food after going to the farmers market in the city every week,” Lauren shared. She then learned about the benefits of growing her own plants, cooking broths from fresh produce, and baking. After marrying Tyler, the two together continued to study nutrition and transmit useful gardening information to many people. Returning to the town is not as vibrant as in the city, the couple feels like they are enjoying the life that is exactly what they both wanted for a long time. Tyler shared that the two chose to live on the east coast of Australia, with more than 4 hectares of land for farming. In addition to planting trees, the couple is also interested in improving the natural ecosystem, avoiding harm or killing beneficial insects. One of the natural ways to prevent plant pests is to keep ducks and chickens around the garden. In addition, they also raise a few sheep. The couple said: “We live in the tropics so high temperatures, strong winds, drought, some other natural disasters are challenges with gardening. But we believe that whatever you plant, If you put your heart and effort into nurturing them, they will pay off, so happy to see them grow day by day.” Lauren and Tyler not only grow crops to provide food for their families, but also store seeds to share with many people, inspiring those who love to create clean food for their families with their own hands and aim for a better life. sustainable living. “We’re not inheriting land from our ancestors, we’re borrowing land from future generations,” says Lauren. “This reminds us not to focus entirely on immediate needs, but instead take responsibility. responsibility, a sense of how current actions will affect the world our children live in. I hope everyone has positive thoughts and intentional actions to live a life of purpose and connection with together”. Hoang Dung ( translation summary)

“Growing trees on the terrace is not simple, requires the grower to have patience and hard work. Fortunately, I am a farmer’s son. Since the age of 10, I have been gardening and farming, so I know quite a lot. knowledge of cultivation”, Ms. Nga shared. When starting to plant trees on the terrace, Ms. Nga had to tinker with the planting method herself. Previously, she saw a friend planting trees, often using bananas buried in the ground for good plants, because bananas contain a lot of potassium. At that time, she thought why not grind bananas, mix with eggs, incubate flowers and then fertilize the plants. “I have been successful with the organic method of growing plants, using “waste” as manure. Now, no tree can make it difficult for me”, Ms. Nga shared. Thanks to the application of the above method, now, Ms. Nga’s orchard is green all year round, and the fruit is sometimes hanging on the branches. In addition to using eggs, milk, bananas, soybeans, etc. to make compost, she also uses fish protein, rice bran, cow manure mixed with soapy solution, composting for plants, helping plants avoid pests. bug. Ms. Nga also uses micro-organisms, tricodema, smoked rice husks, peanut shells, and oil cakes for growing plants. For fertilizing, it must depend on each type of tree, each stage is suitable, so that the fruit tree is always full of branches. On the terrace, Ms. Nga has been growing red flesh dragon fruit for more than a year. The tree has now begun to flower. The guava tree is laden with branches thanks to the organic fertilizer made by Ms. Nga. Ripe fruit is crunchy and sweet. Since her two children went to study abroad, there are only husband and wife in the house, so for the most part, Ms. Nga grows many fruit trees. The fruit tree is laden with branches. Ms. Nga said that not everyone succeeds in planting trees on the terrace. For her, in addition to using the right planting method, she also has to have a real love for trees. Every day, when she is free, she goes to the terrace to monitor and pay attention to every corner of the tree to see if they are attacked by worms or aphids. On the days when she went home to sell goods, it was 12 o’clock at night, she still went to the garden to visit each tree and check each leaf. Nga and her husband like to eat twisted Kale, moringa, and Korean radish, so they always grow them in the garden. At the end of this litter, she nursed her own trees to replace the old litter. Juicy melon. Kale has been planted by Ms. Nga for more than two years, the tree is always fat, the leaves are green. American fig tree. Nga shared, all the trees in the terrace garden, after harvesting, will be pruned and removed all the old leaves so that the tree can grow new branches. Recently, Ms. Nga often shares photos of her garden and planting techniques on online associations and groups. Many people come to ask for the secret, Ms. Nga is always enthusiastic to guide.

“I used to live in the city before moving to the countryside to find myself a quieter, more peaceful lifestyle. Luckily I found it in the middle of the woods, the hills of the west. South Australia,” Leeanne confided. Miss Leeanne contentedly with her vegetable beds A self-proclaimed lover of trees, forests, nature and all creatures on Earth, Leeanne took a course on aquaculture. That course inspired her to begin her journey to growing food crops. However, it was not until the beginning of last year, when Australia had to experience one of the worst bushfires in history, a severe drought, that she realized the impact of the global climate. Feeling hopeless, sad when witnessing those horrifying scenes of natural disasters, the girl sought to make a change. “I want to change, I seek to change to create the world I want, the life I want, and start with the land right under my feet,” Leeanne said. The girl started creating beds, planting seeds, growing vegetables and food crops to provide food for her family and share more with friends and neighbors. Clean vegetables from the organic garden “I take care of the soil and trees, in return they bring me many green and delicious products. I grow a lot of food plants because I want to eat clean fruits and vegetables. I like the feeling of going to the garden to pick fresh fruits, green vegetables to prepare nutritious, safe meals for the whole family. I want to be as self-sufficient as possible to work towards a lifestyle that can positively impact our land and our planet.” , Leeanne shared. Leeanne’s garden is about 200 square meters near the town of Bridgetown. In which, she uses 2/3 of the area to grow food crops, the remaining 1/3 grows perennial crops and fruit trees. For this girl, in addition to enjoying safe and healthy products from the garden, the bigger reward is enjoying an interesting life, connecting with the land, plants, and natural creatures. She has planted more flowers and herbs to attract some insects. Birds, lizards, grasshoppers, butterflies regularly flock to the garden. At night, some marsupials enter the garden in search of corn or tomatoes. The 200m2 garden changed Ms. Leeanne’s life. Leeanne said: “I don’t see it as a hindrance, I’m happy to be able to share food with the native wildlife, as long as they leave some for us. Through the process of gardening, tending. plants, I understand that the more love and effort you put into taking care of the garden, the better it becomes, and the more you nourish yourself.” According to the girl, focusing on gardening is a way to make a positive contribution to making the Earth greener. It is also a way to help you get rid of a stressful life. “I’ve realized that growing plants can be addictive, the more you plant the more passionate you are about growing the garden, and you won’t have much time left to worry and think negative.” Hoang Dung (translation summary)

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.

Lilac flowers are typical of the tropics. In Hanoi, the color of mausoleum flowers is a sign that summer is coming. In the early days of May, mausoleum blooms in many corners of the capital streets. The deep purple color of the lily-of-the-valley flowers combine with the green of the grass, creating a harmonious beauty of the colors. In Hanoi, there are streets like Kim Ma, West Lake, Dao Tan, Van Phu… planted with many mausoleum trees, in the summer the flowers bloom purple all the way. Langur flower also has many different colors: purple, pink, off-white, but perhaps the most familiar to Hanoians is purple. Purple color of mausoleum in Dao Tan street. The mausoleum trees by the West Lake welcome the sun. The solitary mausoleum tree on Dao Tan street has its own beauty. Purple flowers are reminded of fidelity, so mausoleum flowers are often associated with thorny love stories. An accidental combination in the season of lily flowers on the street. The whole road is nearly 2 km long, ring road 3.5 in Ha Dong area, purple flowers bloom on two sidewalks. The trees are planted thickly, the trees are small, but the flowers are in full bloom. Many branches laden with flowers swoop down to the ground. This is a large and spacious road with a hard divider and especially prominent two rows of very beautiful mausoleum trees. The familiar image of people under the shade of a mausoleum tree every early morning or summer afternoon. Cyclists leisurely under the shade of smoky trees.

Model of cuttings to propagate bougainvillea in Phu Dong – Gia Lam, Hanoi. Photo: H.Tien. – Select cuttings: As mentioned above, bougainvillea is a very easy plant to propagate asexually by cuttings. Except for the tops of the trees, the tops of the branches are younger than the color of the cake, the rest of the trunks on the tree can be rooted. However, for cuttings to achieve high survival rate, it is necessary to choose cuttings ≥3 years old, 20-25 cm long, 1-2 cm in diameter, with 3-4 spines (sleeping eyes). If combined with rooting stimulant, the percentage of surviving branches after cuttings will reach over 85%. Note: The cuttings must be very flat, smooth, not bruised. Should use a sharp knife to cut around the base of the branch, remove a small part of the skin that is scratched, helping to increase the rate of rooting. The branches after cutting need to be arranged at the base and tops in the same direction, to avoid confusion when cutting. For seedlings with a diameter of ≥3cm, it is necessary to cut bevels on both sides of the base to create a 3-4cm long wedge shape, to increase the permeability of root stimulants and increase the survival rate. The bougainvillea branches after rooting were transplanted and planted in plastic pots. Photo.H.Tien. – Cutting medium and cutting techniques: Collect fine sand along the river, bring it to dry in 2-3 big sunlight for sterilization and clean fungal diseases. Then spread the sand in a 15-20 thick layer in a cool and drained place. Dilute the cuttings according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Dip each bunch of rootstocks into the solution for about 1 minute. Lift it out, wait for the bunch of branches to look like water, then proceed to plug each base of the branch into the sand (prepared in advance). Distance of cuttings 5 ​​x 5 cm/1 branch. Water regularly to keep moist the sand substrate and seedlings. After 20 to 30 days of cuttings, the plant sprouts roots, sprouts, then transplants into pots. – Choose pots and growing medium: Should choose a type of black paper plastic pots for easy transportation of vehicles for long distance consumption. Pot size, 30 x 35cm, with bottom drainage hole. The growing medium according to the weight ratio includes, 70% arable land + 15% white rice husk + 13% chicken manure + 2% lime powder. Mix the medium well and incubate for 3-4 months to close the pot to plant the seedling. Note, gently pluck the seedlings, dig up the soil about 4-5 cm deep in the middle of the pot, then compact it. Then place each pot 60 x 60 cm apart on the agricultural tarpaulin-covered field, helping to drain water quickly, avoid local flooding, and prevent fertilizer from seeping into the ground and polluting the groundwater. Bougainvillea is a sun-loving plant but does not tolerate high humidity. Water only when the potting medium turns dry. – Plant care on pots: Apply NPK 13+13+13+TE periodically every 25-30 days. Dosage, 1 kg of NPK root for 30-15 pots of bougainvillea, depending on the actual growth of the plant. Combine spraying fertilizer Atonik 1.8 through the leaves, stimulating the plants to grow in balance, accelerating sprouting. When the sprouts reach more than 20 cm long, press the tops to create a canopy. Leave branches on the tree 20 cm long and 3 young leaves. The cutting of the tops of branches should be carried out regularly, so that the tree can soon achieve a luxuriant canopy and increase the harvest value. The bougainvillea has five colors thanks to the technique of grafting branches. Photo: H.Tien. Pest control: The bougainvillea tree is basically not infected with pests and diseases. However, under commercial production conditions, leaf anthracnose can occur. It is necessary to keep the garden well ventilated and promptly drain water when it rains. Absolutely do not let the garden floor and potting medium get too wet. On cloudy weather days, air humidity ≥ 80%, anthracnose room can be sprayed with one of the drugs, Score 250ND, Rocksai Super 525SE, Cure Super 300EC, Help 400SC, Nevo 330EC… instructions on the package. – Export from the garden: Paper flower cuttings, planted from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, have been sold to the market. If you prolong the care period for larger trees, they will sell for a higher price. In addition, it is also possible to bend, create canopy for the tree into artistic poses or add different flower colors to the tree, the business value will be more than doubled.

According to statistics, Thanh Hoa has nearly 1,000 species of medicinal plants such as: trichromats, mulberry, tuberose, white mulberry, cinnamon, hi thiem, saffron, tomato thorn, ha thu o, saffron, gao Ancient lam, ivy, mint, mint … In which, there are about 20 species of valuable medicinal herbs. Medicinal species are mainly concentrated in 11 mountainous districts with many endemic species. Growing red peas to raise red ant wings gives economic efficiency dozens of times more than planting acacia. Photo: Vo Dung. In fact, growing medicinal plants brings high economic efficiency, many localities and units in the province have implemented projects and solutions to conserve and develop medicinal plants sustainably, step by step. forming raw material areas for processing. However, the development of medicinal plants in the province is still not commensurate with the potential. For decades, the people of Muong Lat district (Thanh Hoa) have raised red ant wings and harvested plastic. All products are currently purchased by a company in Hanoi. The effect of raising red ant wings on the host tree is obvious, but what makes many people wonder is that the area of ​​red ants farming in the Thanh area is still too small. Mr. Luong Thanh Binh in Zone 3, town of Muong Lat currently has 1 hectare of thyme tree that flies red ants to exploit for resin. According to Mr. Binh, ant wings released on thieu pea trees can be harvested from 2 to 2.5 tons of resin / ha / year. With the purchase price of a unit in Hanoi committed at present, farmers can earn from 80-100 million VND / ha / year on average. According to Mr. Binh, on the border land that is both sloping and nutrient-poor, there is no tree more effective than raising red ants to collect resin from the host tree. As a breeder of red ant wings for decades, Mr. Binh said that raising red ant wings is both leisure and high economic efficiency. Compared with acacia trees, which are commonly grown locally, cultivating red ant wings gives economic efficiency 15 – 20 times higher. Red ant resin is a valuable medicinal material that is currently purchased by businesses with high prices. Photo: Vo Dung. Mr. Binh analyzed: The hills and mountains are exhausted, it is almost impossible to plant anything, there is no manpower, not much capital and time to take care of it to grow acacia. Meanwhile, compared to acacia cultivation, it doesn’t take much effort to grow host crops to raise red ant wings, and invest less … “In the past, Muong Lat people used to drop ant wings on big, tall trees, but later on they mainly raised ant wings on thieu pea trees because they were of moderate height and easy to exploit for resin,” said Mr. Binh. . According to Mr. Binh, thieu peas are leguminous plants, easy to grow, with low nutrient and water requirements and need to be replanted in 3-4 years. If planting pure palm trees as a host tree to raise red ant wings, the retention time is usually 20-30 years, but the disadvantage is that the stem is high and difficult to harvest. Currently, people still like to grow thieu pea to feed red ant wings because in addition to the advantages of low trees, easy to harvest, thieu lentils are also legumes to help improve the soil, simple care, and less pests. part of Muong Lat people plant this plant to release ant wings. Money picking, but not focused Thieu peas are locally available plants that can be propagated by seeds, so planting thieu lentils costs almost no cost in terms of seeds, and also does not need to be fertilized or taken care of. According to local people’s experience, if using thieu bean as host plant, they usually sow seeds at the beginning of the year and plant in April and to October. Red ants are also insects available in the environment. Thieu lentils themselves have “charm”, helping to attract red ant wings. Mr. Ha Van Huan, Zone 3, Muong Lat town, who has 500 thieu pea trees released red ants, about to reach the harvest date. Photo: Vo Dung. The adult red ants will find themselves, parasitize on the thieu pea tree. After laying eggs and hatching larvae, farmers often tie the larvae to the smallpox plants so that the red ant wings proliferate and develop evenly on the host plant and release the resin to exploit. Usually each year, farmers will have two times to exploit plastic in April and October. The product is currently signed by an enterprise in Hanoi with the price of 40 thousand VND / kg. In addition to planting thieu peas on the hillsides, on roadside land, some people raising ant wings also have the idea of ​​planting thieu lentils on the field banks to release the ant wings. Mr. Ha Van Huan, Zone 3, Muong Lat town, who has 500 thieu lentils, has released red ants about to reach the harvest date, shared: Planting thieu peas on the field bank while taking advantage of the excess land and harvesting. are red ant wings. The leaves of the thieu pea plant fall into the field as fertilizer for the plants as well. Next time, Mr. Huan will continue to plant more thieu pea trees on the field banks to release red ant wings. In 2007, Mr. Luong Thanh Binh (Zone 3, Muong Lat town) was supported by Thanh Hoa Union of Science and Technology Associations to train and transfer techniques of raising red ants to exploit plastic. After being transferred, in addition to his family area, Mr. Binh has now developed the farming area to 50 hectares, concentrated in communes Quang Chieu, Muong Chanh, Tam Chung, Muong Ly, Muong Lat town, Nhi Son, Pu Nhi … (Muong Lat district). The current red ants growers and cultivators are mainly the H’mong and Thai ethnic groups of Muong Lat district. According to Mr. Binh, people from Quan Son and Quan Hoa districts of Thanh Hoa province and some mountainous districts of Nghe An province have also contacted him for technology transfer and seed supply. Growing red beans to raise red ant wings can take advantage of a lot of land funds such as village roads, rice fields, pond banks, forest edges … Photo: Vo Dung. Raising red ant wings gives high economic efficiency, but according to Mr. Binh, ethnic minorities in Muong Lat district have not really paid attention. It is a very regrettable thing when the economic conditions of the people here are still many difficulties. “Raising red ant wings is very leisurely and gives high economic efficiency, but in reality, many people still do not understand its value. The elderly and children can also raise and harvest red ants; Where the product comes out is purchased there. I really want to expand the farming area to develop the local economy and increase income for the people, ”Mr. Binh pondered. To make the harvesting of red ants resin easy, Muong Lat people often plant on low host trees with short harvesting cycle. This explains why the cultivation of red ants is not suitable in the forests if they want to green the barren hills. Mr. Mai Huu Phuc, Director of Thanh Hoa Forest Protection Department (Management Board) also said that raising red ant wings to use plastic as medicine brings high economic efficiency. In the past, the Muong Lat District Protection Forest Management Board also raised red ant wings, but mainly selected multi-purpose host trees. Therefore, when the host tree has grown, it is difficult to release and harvest the red ants, so for many years, the Management Board no longer has cultivated red ant wings. This is one of the factors that makes the red-wing farming area not being focused in Thanh Hoa. Red ant’s wing is a red resin excreted by a species of red ant leaf aphid (a member of the ant wing worm family) that sucks on the sap of its host plant. According to traditional medicine, red ant wings have a bitter taste, cold properties, have a heat effect, blood pressure, detoxification, hemostasis, peas … Currently, all the resin of ants harvested in Muong Lat district is under construction. Duc Phu Agriculture and Forestry Joint Stock Company in Hanoi buys buckets for 40 thousand VND / kg.

Her family’s terrace covers an area of ​​100 square meters. In addition to planting 30 tomato plants for fruit continuously, Ms. Loan also grows cucumbers, melons, melon, bitter melon, vegetables and some fruit trees. Tools to plant Ms. Loan’s trees are old water tanks, foam barrels, old pots bought from the bottle yard. To keep the terrace clean and not heavy, Ms. Loan uses 20% of the cultivated land and 80% of the substrate (coir, ash, rice husks, manure, and waste) to grow trees. Ms. Loan started planting 30 tomato plants since September 2020. Trees are always fruitful. Sometimes, Ms. Loan harvested 40-50kg of tomatoes. She had to bring it to her friends and relatives if she could not eat it all. “After I harvested the ripe fruit, I applied fertilizer to the stump, 10 days after the fruit was ripe, I continued to harvest,” Ms. Loan said. She also planted strawberry trees on the terrace. Currently, the tree is ripe fruit. According to Ms. Loan, to have a green garden with high productivity requires gardeners to be experienced, diligent to explore and have a love for trees. In addition, growers must visit the tree every day to see if the plant is sick, has root rot or stem rot. “Caring for trees is like taking care of children. One day I did not visit, the tree was sick, ”said the woman from Vinh Long. Loan’s son is helping his mother to harvest ripe tomatoes. Melon trees and melon fruit. Loan said that to grow these fruit trees, it takes a lot of care and requires growers to have the techniques and characteristics of the tree. Her secret to growing a lush, fruit-bearing garden on her terrace is to use organic fertilizers and insecticides made by herself. As for insect repellent, Ms. Loan is made from waterpipe tobacco soaked with alcohol, incubated for 5-7 days and then watered for the plants. As for fertilizers, she uses soybean residue, spoiled bananas, eggshell, and kitchen waste to make compost. Using these types of waste as compost not only helps to provide enough nutrients for the plant, but also helps the tree produce more fruit, beautiful color, succulent, sweet. The next step in this woman’s rooftop gardening is to treat the soil before planting. “Treating the soil to get rid of germs is already 50% successful in gardening,” she said. Her soil treatment process is to mix soil, coir, ash, rice husks, manure … with powdered lime, eggshell, chicken manure, and dried soil, then plant trees. The grower must also provide the plant with sufficient water at all times. In addition, the gardener must apply fertilizer at the right stage of plant development, otherwise it will harm the plant.

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.

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.

Many families do not regret investing large amounts of money to design a sky well with automatic watering systems, waterfalls, tree planting … creating fancy landscapes. However, many families encounter the situation that the roots of the trees are growing too well, causing the tubing tiles to crack, the walls around the garden are damp, insects … According to experts, it is necessary to consider the types of plants and how to grow plants appropriately. Instead of gardening, choose to plant plants in small pots to increase flexibility, and can easily change the habitat for the plant. One of the mistakes of many families is not making the roof of the skylight portable (can be closed – opened flexibly according to use needs). The fixed roof has the advantage of being quite cheap, but in the long run, homeowners will find it very inconvenient. For example, when it is too sunny, the wells cannot be shielded at will, causing the indoor temperature to rise. Meanwhile, mobile cover is the solution that can handle these inconveniences. The biggest advantage of the skylight well is ventilation and light absorption. Therefore, many homeowners take advantage of the space under the skylight to design the dining table, the area of ​​chairs to relax … but do not consider the element of interior materials. It is possible to mention the use of non-durable plastic chairs. When exposed to the sun for a long time, it will become brittle, likely to cause injury to the user. Not designing negative sound for skylight walls is also a mistake of many homeowners. Because, the sound transmitted in the sky well space also creates a resonant effect and is clearer than other areas of the house. The homeowner can add “sound absorption” to the skylight space, by designing rough walls, wall tiles with card bricks, ceiling tiles, natural stone walls … Photo source: Internet Video: House 25m2- the opportunity to have a house for many people?

“In the morning, I usually get up at 5am to water the plants to wash away the frost because the house is near the sea. During the day, I am busy with work, only at night do I have time to spend in the garden, ”she said. Red tomato garden on the terrace. Ms. Hoan has a small shop selling mannequins (jellyfish, coconut, jelly …) in the market. In addition, she also regularly provides this dish for weddings and restaurants. The first time the country implemented social gap due to the first Covid-19 epidemic (in 2020), she had to take a break from her business. Having free time, Ms. Hoan researched how to plant trees. She asked for land, foam box and bought seeds… started planting. The amount of land moved up too much, she had to tie the rope to pull it from the first floor to the rooftop. She also makes use of all the foam boxes or plastic buckets to make a place for sowing. The barrel did not punch the bottom, but the edge was about 20 cm from the bottom. After that, she punched a hole in the plastic can and put the can on the bottom of the barrel. The mouth of the can toward the edge of the barrel is chiseled, making a way for water to drain, helping the roots to clear, and less soil wasting. This woman also takes advantage of vegetables, tubers, leftovers and the peels of tubers and fruits to put in barrels, pour the soil on top, then water the rice … to form a green manure mixture. Thanks to this fertilizer, the plant grows very well. “Initially, I intended to only grow herbs, cucumbers to serve the needs of the family and sales, but unexpectedly after 2 years, my garden had all kinds of vegetables, tubers, fruits and flowers”. In particular, her overhead garden resembles an octopus tomato (like a Russian tomato) grown in foam boxes. Every day, this woman cut off old leaves, obscuring leaves to focus nutrients on the fruit. “Tomatoes like vermi-compost and kitchen waste composting microbiological compost. I also water clear lime water, add some NPK when flowering and small fruit,” she said. “Tomato trees are wrong because the roots have to eat a lot of soil and manure to grow fruit. I stack 2 foam boxes on each other, poke holes in the bottom so that the roots penetrate the roots down to absorb nutrients. For gardening experience, I often watch and read the experience of growing trees online. Seeing what makes sense, I will start to experiment, ”she added. Thanks to the right techniques and devotion of the garden owner, up to now, her garden has made many people admire. Many friends and neighbors asked about how to plant and apply for seeds, Mrs. Hoan happily shared. “Before, I just sat selling, didn’t move much. Since working as a gardener, I often have to be active, my health and spirit are much better than before, ”she said. Ms. Hoan’s husband is a guard, and the children are busy studying, so Ms Hoan takes care of the garden. Every day I don’t have time to go to the terrace, I miss the garden again. “Later, when my children graduate, I will quit my current business. With a lot of time, I will take care of the garden and enjoy my old age ”, she added. See some more pictures of Ms. Hoan’s rooftop garden: The owner of the garden is 50m2. Tomato season is ripe. Ripe red tomatoes. In addition to vegetables, tubers and fruits, her garden also grows a variety of flowers. The large amount of vegetables, tubers and fruits prevents her from going to the market to buy and also provides ingredients for her to cook dishes for sale.

Having a passion for planting trees and seeing that on the hot terrace, she decided to cover the green for shade. She went to the online tree planting associations to learn from experiences. “I chose to grow melons because my family likes to eat and this plant gives fruit fast,” she said. A corner of the garden on the terrace of Ms. Ngoc Anh. At first, Ngoc Anh bought seeds at the supermarket and planted about 20 foam boxes, watering them manually. But when she gave the fruit, she found that the melon was very light and could only be used for drinking water. Besides, the manual watering took her a lot of time. “In the morning, I struggled on the terrace to water, pollinate flowers… In the afternoon, I ran home from work to pollinate and was scolded by my family for being too“ mortal ”, she said. After that, Ms. Ngoc Anh decided to find different varieties of melons (Vietnam, Japan, and Korea) to sow seeds. At the same time, she also designed the rig to save area and labor effort. “I consulted on the internet, then measured and bought materials and asked my husband to help with the assembly. Because it is self-made, the cost is quite cheap and in just about a week, the staging for planting trees has been completed ”. “If you plant plants in a foam bin, the water that flows out will seep into the terrace floor. A few seasons later, thanks to the suspension system, we overcame this situation while saving area and time for watering and fertilizing. The garden is always clean, the tall truss system looks more beautiful, ”she added. Currently, her terrace garden has more than 100 pots of melons of all kinds such as melon, green melon, watermelon … Each type she planted 2, 3 rows to eat not to get bored. In addition, she also took care of dozens of pots of roses, purple corn, bitter melon and fruit trees, grapes, apples … In addition to fruit trees, she also planted a lot of roses. “I usually spend 2 hours in the morning taking care of the garden. When it comes to the stage of pollination and fruit hanging, I have to get up earlier because I am afraid I will not have time to go to work at the company “, she said. “The garden does not have many bees and butterflies and many different fruits, so I am afraid of bees, butterflies pollinate all the time, so I self-pollinate. After that, I wrapped it to avoid the golden flies, then left hanging … “. In the first few cases, Ms. Anh shared, regarding fertilizers, she used chemical fertilizers. After that, she learned how to grow organic. Currently, she composts fish manure by herself, banana manure (for sweet fruits), custard-apple fertilizer … After that, she runs it on the watering system so that the plants can be absorbed regularly and save time on fertilizing the garden. “I think the matter of nutrition and the way of care will determine the outcome. Nutrition for plants in each stage will also be different, ”she said. In order to have large, well-rounded melons, Ngoc Anh has a secret that is to focus on collecting pollen for melons when the tree has grown from 10 to 12 leaf axils, usually keeping only one fruit on the tree. This season is the main season so she planted more than 100 melons, normally she sows about 40, 50 trees. “Every half a month, I grow new varieties of melons to have melons to eat all year round. Depending on the variety, about 60 to 90 days can be harvested, ”she said. Vegetables and fruits harvested from the garden were too much, the family could not eat them all, Ms. Ngoc Anh brought to her friends, colleagues, relatives … At weekends, she spends all of her time in the garden weeding and cleaning. Her husband supported his wife to plant trees, but when he saw that she was too passionate about the garden, he joked: “Wife cares more about trees than husband.” “You want me to plant less to have time to relax and rest,” she added.
