Chapter 388 Soil Improvement
The soil on the mountain is the same as most places, all of which are clay soil, and it hasn't been planted for many years and has been deserted there.
When I was a child, Wu Fei and the others also went to the mountains to pick tea. If it was raining, the soil on the ground would stick to the rain boots and could not be kicked off. You must use a stick to get it off.
However, there was no decent heavy rain some time ago, and the soil in the ground was not wet and there was no phenomenon of sticking together.
However, it finally rained for two consecutive days two days ago. I wonder if it rained heavily at home and whether the ground was all wet.
"Dad, it rained a lot two days ago. Is it raining here?"
Sometimes the weather forecast reports that it is raining, but it does not rain at all in some places. It does not mean that it will rain in Wu Fei and his village, so Wu Fei asks this.
"It rained half a night the night before yesterday. If it didn't rain, I originally planned to water the vegetables yesterday."
Wu Bang said: "It's just that after it rains, it's been saved. The rain has been quite heavy, and it's the biggest rain in the second half of this year."
"Was the soil in the ground so big that it's not stuck together? When you planted lettuce yesterday, was the mud sticky?"
"It's a little sticky, but fortunately. I haven't planted anything in the past few years. The dead branches and leaves are rotten in the ground, which is much looser than when I was making tea gardens before."
Wu Bang said: "In addition, the chicken manure and sheep manure used when turning the ground will not be as sticky as before. However, this chicken manure is still not as good as sheep manure. It is best to mix the two together in the future. It is best to have more sheep manure."
In fact, among the organic fertilizer used to improve soil, cattle and sheep manure is the best, especially the cattle and sheep that are free to eat grass outside. The manure that is pulled has a high fiber content and can improve the soil well.
However, there are a large number of chickens nearby and a large number of free-range people, but there are no large numbers of cattle herding. The one who feeds the most cattle in the village is Mr. Wu, who only feeds four or five cows, which is still the most fed in the whole village.
Thinking of cow dung, Wu Fei asked, "Dad, did Mr. Wu feed several cows? How did his cow dung be processed? He doesn't seem to have no farming, right?"
"Mr. Wu, he didn't grow much land, but he just planted a vegetable field of two or three parts. In the past, his cow dung would be used by anyone to clear the cow dung for him. Anyway, whoever cleared it would be his own. But now there is less land in the village, and everyone uses compound fertilizers and is too lazy to pick up cow dung. Today, it seems that he has cleared his own cow dung, and he doesn't know how he got the cow dung. I'll ask him these two days."
Thinking that most of the vegetables were sold almost before and after the New Year, and peppers and eggplant would not be planted until three or four servings next year. There are still several months left in between. Wu Fei said, "Dad, after the lettuce is planted, plant a few acres of Dutch beans. I looked at it and the price of Dutch beans is good all year round. But is Dutch beans easy to grow?"
