"Roof and Balcony Agriculture"

Author: Xia Zhixun

roof balcony agriculture is a major measure to improve the urban ecological environment and sustainable development! It is a sign that mankind has entered a new era of improved housing without occupying green space! It is a base for farmers to recycle biological waste resources into cities to produce green food! It is a garden for young people to learn agricultural knowledge nearby! It is a paradise for middle-aged and elderly people to enjoy agricultural health preservation!

the most notable features of the content of this book: First, it is innovative. In response to the problems of roof balcony farmers, 19 national inventions and utility model patent technologies and products have been applied for after experimental research and summary, providing a brand-new technology for roof balcony agriculture And equipment matching; the second is systematic: patented technology is organically combined with conventional agriculture, water-saving irrigation, plant protection, crop rotation system, safety protection and ecological environmental protection, artificial intelligence, solar energy, roof balcony planting design and cultivation management simulation, etc., forming a complete set of Roof balcony agricultural technology system; third, it is widely used: for different building structures and places, such as planes, inclined planes, walls, barriers, and even beaches, salt-alkali beaches, water surfaces that are not suitable for crop growth, etc., there are planting modes suitable for production, such as small soil cultivation or open-air hydroponics, inclined planes, walls, barriers There are all kinds of planting methods such as pipe cultivation, natural water surface pipe network cultivation, rainwater multi-local swamp cultivation; fourth, it is practical, simple and effective: for example, the geomembrane prevents leakage and controls the depth of water storage through the height of the surrounding membrane, and the gap between the membrane and the retaining plate (or wall panel) removes the remaining water and drains it from the bottom into the roof drainage system, which is more durable, stable, reliable, simple and economical than setting holes at the bottom of the border. The effect of soil control water storage and drainage is more durable, stable, reliable, simple and economical, the most typical example is to use rainwater to collect and utilize rainwater close to zero discharge of roof rainwater. The most typical example is to use rainwater to plant water and drought as a small vegetable garden. Hydroponics, swamp cultivation and undercurrent irrigation all have the function of collecting rainwater; the use of dead branches and leaves, kitchen waste, and human manure and urine resources Recycling the scale of supporting technology for the production of green food can achieve near zero discharge of organic waste, effectively protect. The fertilizer liquid after being treated by "fermentation device of upper and lower gate pipes" can also be replenished by self-flowing or pumping. There is also a "glass curtain wall plastic greenhouse original ecological greenhouse" applied to roofs, especially rural urbanized roofs, which has better safety, environmental protection and roof resource utilization effects, especially in areas with low temperatures in winter, where you can enjoy the warmth of summer. Help people realize their wishes for a better life.

In a word, this book is written by myself after retiring for more than 20 years, through the construction of my own garden, the demonstration and promotion of roof balcony agricultural experimental research, the development of patented technology products, the teaching materials jointly compiled by Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, the guidance of students and residents to visit and build the garden, and the materials submitted by the standard personnel entrusted by the Ministry of Housing and Construction of the State and the Science and Technology Department of the Housing and Construction, I hope that on behalf of my life, I will continue to promote the greening of roof balcony agriculture, industrialization and people's construction of a better life!
