Talking about the predestined relationship to the agricultural garden on the terrace, Phung said that she did not know what to plant when she was young or old.

“I am the youngest daughter in the family, since childhood, I have been pampered like a lady, so I don’t have to move anything, let alone farming. Then, because I was so fascinated and determined to grow terraces , I went online and learned from the experiences of those who went before, then tinkered more and planted. But we can plant trees immediately, so many people tell me to plant trees cool hands ”, Mrs. Phung shared.

Phung said that when she first started growing vegetables, for a while, she experimented with many other agricultural products, especially fruit trees.
“I love it all the time, so I love it, all day I go to the rooftop so much that my husband keeps telling me how to love that terrace more than my husband and children. But really, if you look at the tree, it will grow green, and then the fruit will come out when you understand that, who can not love it. I like it too much (laughs) “, Mrs. Phung humorously told about the” trophy “that loved planting trees so much that her husband had to be” jealous “of the terrace.

Because she was so fascinated, I found that the land opposite the house was empty, so Phung Lan asked her neighbors to borrow more agricultural products. “Because the terrace area is also small, it is impossible to plant all the plants I want to grow, so I planted more under this garden. Most of us in the underground garden only grow vegetables, and plants that are easy to grow, have less pests, and fruit trees, and more “sensitive” trees, we grow on the terrace, “Phung said.

That is why, from someone who has never known how to plant trees or what to farm, Phung has made her whole family eat clean agricultural products until tired. But the family can not eat all, so each harvest is full of neighbors and friends.
“At first, it was only grown on the terrace, so no one saw it, so when I posted a picture, I showed it on social media , saying that the agricultural products were grown on the terrace, but no one believed. But really, whoever dares to believe that a young lady like me can grow agricultural products, still grows on the terrace. When relatives are far away, everyone asks how they can grow so well, they are so good. In general, no one dared to believe it at first, “Phung recalled.
The secret of “horizontal hands” growing agricultural products
Currently, on the terrace of Mrs. Phung, there is a frame of melon of all kinds such as hami, honey red, pear, milk … and other fruit trees such as apple, papaya, guava, cup, cucumber, vegetables but she calls “luxury” vegetables such as kale, collard greens … And the downstairs garden is full of agricultural products such as spinach, cabbage, sweet potatoes, gourds, squash, eggplant, chili …

Sharing her secret, Ms. Phung said that she originally planted with land bought from a shop, but did not understand why she could not achieve productivity, so she went on the street to see that the plots of land in their house were to stop by and ask for some land. about planting. Her land would be composted with the ratio of: meat soil 40%, rice husk ash with cow manure 40%, the rest was chicken manure and then mixed this substrate together to plant trees.
“I only put in effort once carrying the soil on the terrace, and after that, I just make use of the planted land to renovate and continue planting. After harvesting, the soil should be sun-dried for 7-10 days, dry in very sunny weather and do not let rain. After drying, add more fertilizer and compost it within 1 week, then it can be used to plant trees ”, Ms. Phung elaborates on how to improve the soil before planting.

In addition to this mixture, Ms. Phung also composts many other nutrients for plants such as organic waste, soybean residue, fish manure … “Especially when growing melon, a plant that is very difficult to grow and need careful care. So in addition to the original mixing medium, when the plant has 5 or more real leaves, it starts to add more nutrients to the plant, such as watering with fish protein (brewed from the beginning, the fish’s intestines go to the market every day to buy or ask to go home. ).
This fish protein is very good for watering the plant, but do not overdo it, too much will make yellow, then fall flowers and not fruiting. In addition, “ it is necessary to combine more substances such as calcium, potassium, and if using chemistry, these types are available on the market, but we grow organically so we have to do it all by ourselves. For calcium, we use eggshell to spread on the ground, while potassium is in banana juice so we compost it to use as a substitute for chemical fertilizer, ”Ms. Phung“ revealed.
