At the end of the day, the eight people brought by Ao Wenzhi installed six greenhouses. Since there was a lot of preparatory work to be done at the beginning of the first day, in the following time, several more greenhouses should be installed in a day.

It seems that, as Ao Wenzhi said, the entire installation can be completed in three days.

In the afternoon, Wu Fei called the seedling boss in the field and told him that the ordered strawberry seedlings would be delivered tomorrow.

The greenhouse has been installed, and you can start planting strawberries now. It is already late, it is already late October, and the weather changes at any time. As long as it rains, the temperature will drop rapidly.

Although it is said that it will not drop to less than 10 degrees all at once, if the temperature is too low, it will still affect the early growth of strawberries and delay the time when strawberries will be on the market later in the year.

Strawberries are one of the rare concentrated fruits. The earlier they come on the market after the new year, the higher the price. Wu Fei is still waiting for strawberries to increase his income next year, but he doesn’t want to wait until other people’s strawberries are on the market. The additional strawberries

It's still blooming in the greenhouse.

Lao Miao received a call from Wu Fei and promised to load the truck and deliver it to Wu Fei early tomorrow morning. Wu Fei ordered 40,000 strawberry seedlings. One seedling tray contains 50 seedlings, and 40,000 seedlings equals 800 seedling trays.

The 800 seedling trays are also very fast to move, much faster than pulling them out one by one. However, they take up a lot more space when transported. But these are not things Wu Fei should worry about.

Since Lao Miao promised to load the truck and deliver it early tomorrow, Wu Fei only needed to make preparations to start planting strawberries.

Wu Fei had already made the preparations. When he was growing peppers at home, Wu Fei helped his father buy two magical tools for growing pepper seedlings online.

This magic was discovered by Wu Fei when he was surfing the Internet. It is a stainless steel pipe that looks like a small rocket launcher. It has a sharp point in the front. Press it hard into the ground. The sharp part in the front will open, and then it will open from the end of the steel pipe.

Just put the pepper seedlings on top, pull up the steel pipe and the pepper seedlings are planted.

Two people work together, one to press the steel pipe and the other to place the seedlings. It is much faster than planting a seedling in a pit before, and the efficiency can be increased by at least three to four times.

In order to plant strawberries this time, Wu Fei made preparations early and bought ten seedling planting devices from the Internet.

It sounds easy to use, but it's actually just a steel pipe with a few springs and a handle that pushes down. The cost is 30 yuan, but it's not cheap. It cost Wu Fei 100 yuan.

One piece of money.

Although the price is a bit expensive, the boss still has a good conscience. The steel pipe used to make the seedling planter is quite thick and should last for several more years.

Originally, Wu Fei was wondering whether the farm tractor he bought could be used to grow strawberries, but after asking, he found out that it didn't have that function. Besides, it seems like this type of tractor that can be used to plant strawberries and peppers is not sold in the whole province.

of.

There are some who work in the open air, but they only plant the seedlings and then cover them with mulch. However, in this way, the workload of covering them with mulch increases again.

As soon as Wu Fei inquired about it, he gave up the idea. Anyway, there were only 20 greenhouses for the time being, and there were only 10 strawberries to win, so the extra time was limited.

The main reason is the limitation of the terrain. Large agricultural machines cannot work on such terrain. And many small agricultural machines have limited automation functions. Like many highly integrated machines nowadays, they can fertilize, sow, and cover mulch all at once.

That's it.

Early the next morning, Ao Wenzhi brought the mulch film to Wu Fei. Then he continued to install the greenhouse with a group of people he brought.

Although Miaoba said that he would deliver seedlings to Wu Fei as soon as possible, Wu Fei knew that it would be good if he could deliver them before noon. Loading eight hundred seedling trays into the truck was not something that could be done at once.

When Wu Fei's parents used to sell pepper seedlings, they would get up and get busy at four or five o'clock before dawn. They would prepare the pepper seedlings, bitter gourd seedlings, tomatoes and other seedlings needed that day, and the day would be almost over.

When the light comes on, I eat something in a hurry and head to the market. I have to get ahead of the people going to the market to buy things and get a good place at the market to get ready.

However, there are people in Naeba who have been hired. It is impossible to get up before dawn to help load the car. Even if it is early, it will not start until after dawn after six o'clock. When the car is loaded and delivered to Wu Fei's house, it will be before ten o'clock.

It's early if you can get there.

But there is not nothing that can be done now. The mulch film has not been delivered yet, so it is best to cover it with mulch film before it is delivered. Once the seedlings are delivered, you can plant the seedlings directly.

Inside the six-meter-wide greenhouse, there are five ridges. Each ridge is only 90 centimeters wide. There is a path of about 20 centimeters in the middle for people to pass through.

The ground is raised almost 20 centimeters high, mainly to make it easier to water the strawberries after they start to bear fruit.

The growth of strawberries requires a lot of water, especially after they start to bear fruit. At that time, the seedlings have grown up, and watering them one by one will be very slow.

At that time, the only thing you can do is fill the entire greenhouse with water, so that the water almost covers the ridges. But be careful, it will be almost the same, but not too much.

If too much water is applied and the water floods the ridges, the water will soak into the strawberries that have just begun, causing the strawberries to rot in the later stages.

Therefore, you need to pay special attention when flooding strawberries. They cannot flood the mulch film covered with strawberry seedlings. Wait until the water has soaked the soil thoroughly, and then drain the other water. Do not let the water soak for a long time, as that will

Causes root rot and seedling necrosis.

When the strawberry fruit expands, you need to apply top-dressing fertilizer to the strawberry. Dissolve the top-dressing fertilizer into the water and use flood irrigation to apply top-dressing fertilizer, which saves time and effort.

In order not to cause a waste of fertility, generally during flood irrigation, the water level only needs to reach the general position of the ridge. In this case, there is no need to drain water outside, and you only need to wait for the water to slowly soak into the soil.

Growing strawberries requires a lot of water. Strawberries are grown in one season and consume a lot of water. Especially those grown in greenhouses cannot wait for the rain, so they can only rely on the growers to water the strawberries from time to time according to the growth needs of the strawberries.

Therefore, large-scale planting of strawberries needs to be close to water sources to facilitate the later use of water. Especially the picking period of strawberries is relatively long. If you want to have high strawberry yields, you need to pick strawberries almost every time during the middle and late stages of strawberry fruiting.
