One year ago, when the Ring 2 was completed, the 1-km embankment opposite the alley of 462 Buoi Road (Ba Dinh District) was designed in form of beehive shape to avoid landslide.

Local residents take use of each hole in the embankment for growing short-term -crop vegetable.
|
First, they have to reclain virgin soil, eradicate all the bush around and dig every holes. Then they fill those holes with new soil and seed.
|
With an unremarkable “investing” fund and some labor to buy soil, fertilize and seed; the residents got some unique gardens, which supply fresh and clean vegetable.
|
They grow from daily vegetable such as water spinach, cabbage, Malabar spinach to loopah, herb with more sophisticated farming.

According to Mrs Nguyen Thi Au, a local resident, she comes here 2-3 times/day to take care of the plants. Those “little gardens” not only supply clean vegetable for her family, but bemcome a pursuit for her in old age days. Farming helps to boost her health.

People use only organic fertilizer and tap water for planting so they feel very safe when enjoying vegetable from those “gardens”. Some passer-by impressed by the verdure, even ask for buying, Mr Tuyen, another local resident said while fertilizing.

Just 1-2 months of planting, the vegetable are ready for harvesting. Some beds of flower are added bring color to the "gardens" .
