These Farmers Use Every Inch

These Farmers Use Every Inch These farmers in China are growing vegetables right between the bricks of their courtyard. Instead of tearing up the pavement to make a garden, they use the narrow gaps where soil is exposed. And judging by their harvest, the crops have grown surprisingly well. First, they pull out large green radishes, revealing thick taproots that developed beneath the surface. They arrange the harvested radishes in neat rows before moving on to green onions. These are pulled from the soil, cleaned of dead leaves, and tied into bundles for easier handling. They also harvest large heads of curly lettuce, while eggplants grow in another section of the courtyard. The method relies on having enough root space, moisture, and nutrients beneath the bricks. The gaps provide openings for plant growth, while the soil underneath supports root development. It's an unusual way to grow food without converting the entire courtyard into garden beds. #fblifestyle #chinesefarming #vegetablegarden #urbanfarming #gardening
