These "difficult areas" for growing vegetables have long been conquered by the Chinese, who have successfully grown a crop of vegetables. Late last year, the Chang 'e-5 spacecraft returned with lunar soil, which researchers analyzed and found to be devoid of organic nutrients and unable to grow vegetables, much to the dismay of netizens.

"To ensure the quality of the vegetables, we also bring sheep manure from Inner Mongolia as fertilizer and dechlorinate the tap water used to water the vegetables."

Buy all the equipment to succeed in growing vegetables? Li Haijun told reporters frankly not so smooth, but also through detours. "Although the company is engaged in foundation engineering, people work with soil all year round, but when it comes to growing vegetables, we don't have much experience at the beginning. Once when the seedlings were planted, they encountered a cold wave, and the whole batch was frozen to death." In order to improve the success rate of planting vegetables and vegetable quality, the company invites agricultural technical personnel with 20 to 30 years of experience in vegetables for guidance, such as when to urge seedlings, how to grow seedlings, how to transplant, etc. Currently, the company's rooftop garden is managed by three people in the logistics department.

"Sometimes I feel the pressure of work, I will go to the roof to have a look, watching these vegetables grow from small seedlings slowly, vibrant, the mood is also happy." "Said Liu Pengtao, an employee. On weekends, some employees even take their children to the roof of the factory building to experience a "farmhouse".
