You don't necessarily need a lot of space to create a vegetable patch.
We'll tell you how you can also grow delicious vegetables on the terrace.
Vegetables from your own harvest are something special.
But not everyone has a large garden and thus the opportunity to grow a lot.
With a few creative steps, however, it is quite possible to create a vegetable patch in a small space.
On a terrace * there are, for example, possibilities to plant the vegetables in pots, flower boxes or a raised bed.
We explain how and which vegetables are suitable.
Vegetable patch for the terrace - variant 1: bucket
In the tub you can not only plant pampas grass as a privacy screen *.
There are also some vegetables that can be used for this.
And by the way, your vegetable patch in the bucket beautifies the terrace.
But how do you go about it?
In order to be able to supply a nutrient-rich soil right from the start, it is best to use a
high-quality compost
soil
with a proportion of clay
.
In order to care for the vegetables in the best possible way, it is important to fertilize well over time.
To do this, you can add liquid nutrients to the irrigation water to keep the earth always rich in nutrients.
These varieties are suitable
: tomatoes, runner beans, garlic, carrots, radishes, lettuce, chilli, bell peppers and beetroot.

Vegetable bed for the terrace - variant 2: raised bed
A raised bed can also be used as a vegetable patch on the terrace.
The easiest way to do it is of course with a finished raised bed (promotional link).
With a raised bed, however, the soil is filled up more elaborately than with the other two variants.
The first layer is first provided with a wire mesh, this is primarily intended to keep pests away.
This is followed by a layer with a tree and shrub section, then you fill green and garden waste on top.
The fourth layer consists of normal soil on which you put ripe compost.
It ends with the sixth shift.
This consists of nutrient-rich soil.
Here, too, you can plant
carrots, lettuce or radishes
again
