The watermelons in the greenhouse are finally ripe.
Ye Mo is eagerly looking forward to the second crop of melons.
Zhou An had already arranged the picking work, and Ye Mo also came over early in the morning to keep an eye on it.
Hearing that Ye Mo's watermelons were ripe, brothers Tang Xun, Ye Zhi... and Niu Youde came to Gaoshanping early in the morning.
Their three crops of melons are also ripe, and the picking time is scheduled for two days.
"Uncle." Ye Mo shouted.
Niu Youde responded with a smile.
"Has it been rated yet?" Tang Xun asked.
"Special grade." Ye Mo said.
"Bulls." Tang Xun gave a thumbs up: "How much does it cost per catty?"
"All 7.5 yuan." Ye Mo said.
Although this batch of watermelons are also of special quality, compared with the previous crop of melons, they are still inferior. Moreover, the season is now, mid-to-late March.
Today is March 17th.
This season, greenhouse melons from Yunnan have also begun to be put on the market in batches. However, there are very few super watermelons...
"We have enough melons, so we are satisfied." Ye Mo said with a smile: "The temperature is high now, so there is no need to heat it. Every time you grow a crop, you will make a profit."
Tang Xun and the others smiled and nodded: "I feel like there can be another one, or two, on my side."
"Have Xiaoshe gone over to show it to you?"
"I've seen it, and I've applied some medium and trace element fertilizers and bacterial fertilizers," Ye Zhi said.
"Two more crops will be great," Ye Mo said.
Ye Mo chatted with them for a while, then went into the greenhouse to pick watermelons.
Tang Xun and others also came in to help: "Do you have any plant ash here?"
"Already contacted." Ye Mo said: "The bamboo charcoal ash and plant ash I bought are relatively expensive. One ton costs 2,000 yuan."
"So expensive..." Ye Zhi looked over.
"We saw on the Huinong website that plant ash only costs more than 100 yuan per ton." Tang Xun said.
"Those plant ash mixed with soil. The plant ash I bought is pure..." Ye Mo turned around and looked over.
"I heard that the plant ash from the power station is very cheap, but there is no way. Can you get the plant ash from the power station?" Ye Zhidao.
"There is that kind of power station nearby, but it is a thermal power station that treats waste. If you use the ash in the fields, you are worried about heavy metals exceeding the standard." Ye Mo said: "You guys don't be stingy, just use plant ash.
There aren’t many and they don’t cost much. Otherwise, you can go to Huinong and buy online and take a look..."
They are all sold in Caomuhui, Taobao, JD.com and other places.
As for the power plant...
Some power plants use straw as raw material for power generation.
The large amount of plant ash produced after burning is high-quality potash fertilizer.
But there are no power plants here that use straw as raw material for power generation.
"Where did you get the goods? Is it reliable?" Tang Xun asked again.
"The supply comes from my uncle." Ye Mo said: "Things like plant ash are now rare goods. The plant ash I ordered is partly made from bamboo and contains carbon. It is bamboo charcoal, and the proportion of ash is about
Only 30%. The other part is the farm plant ash my two old cousins collected from the mountains..."
Those who still use earthen stoves today are those in remote households in the mountains.
Pure plant ash costs 2,000 yuan per ton, which is very cheap.
As for bamboo ash containing carbon, it depends on the carbon content. The higher the carbon content, the cheaper the price.
Ye Mo needs a lot of plant ash fertilizer, mainly for coconut trees. As for greenhouses, the demand is not very big.
In a greenhouse, when used with organic fertilizer, 40 to 50 kilograms per acre is enough.
Coconut grove can be used more or less. But if used too much, the effect will not be very great.
The uncle, the second uncle, and the maid are helping Ye Mo get plant ash fertilizer. They have to collect these things from door to door, which is very troublesome.
While chatting, Ye Mu's cell phone rang: "Hello, little mistress."
"There are about 20 tons of farm ash and more than 30 tons of bamboo charcoal ash..." said the girl.
"It's almost done." Ye Mo said.
"When will we send it to you?"
"In a few days. I'm picking watermelons here these days. I'm very busy and can't spare any time."
"OK."
Ye Mo said: "How many bamboo forests have you contracted?"
"1,000 acres." The girl said, "The price is too high. All the money of the three of us has been spent."
"How much is 1,000 acres?"
"40 yuan per mu, one year, 30 years...1 mu is 1,200 yuan. 1,000 mu, 1.2 million yuan." said the girl.
"How much more can we contract?"
"For 40 yuan, we can contract at least tens of thousands of acres."
"Uncle told me earlier that there is a bamboo farm owner who wants to transfer his bamboo forest. Have you gone to talk about it?"
"We have negotiated and the asking price is 61 million yuan."
61 million, with 53,000 acres of bamboo forest. It is the largest bamboo forest in Xiahe Town.
"How is the road?" Ye Mo said.
Yao Guye took the call and said: "The road into the bamboo forest is a big road. But inside, it is all dirt roads. The mountains are high and the roads are steep..."
"Does that mean transportation is difficult?" Ye Mo asked: "The terrain over there, can we build a road?"
"The slopes where most of the bamboo forests are located are not too steep. It is still possible to build roads." Yao Guye said, "But the investment will be huge."
"You guys should contract more bamboos. It's best to use moso bamboo forests. The bigger and denser the bamboos, the better." Ye Mo said, "If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some."
"Bamboo is not easy to sell now, and the price of bamboo shoots is not very good. Now that we have contracted a thousand acres, we are all frightened." Yao Guye said.
Except for some special bamboo shoots, such as moso bamboo shoots and native bamboo shoots, there are no other bamboo shoots that can be sold at high prices, such as wild bamboo shoots and water bamboo shoots.
"Uncle, they used to sell bamboo. How much did it cost per ton?"
"Water bamboo is more expensive, costing over one thousand yuan per ton. Moso bamboo and other large bamboos cost four to five hundred yuan per catty. If you want a large quantity, you can buy it for three to four hundred yuan."
In places where there are many bamboo forests, bamboo is really not expensive. What is expensive is the labor cost...
There is a sea of bamboo in Uncle Ye Mo's place. When you go into the mountains, there are bamboos everywhere. And in rural areas, there are bamboo forests around many houses, and the bamboos are not valuable.
Because the price is so low, bamboo forests in some remote places cannot be cut down and labor costs cannot be paid.
Ye Mo chatted with Yao Guye for a while and then hung up the phone.
Tang Xun looked at him: "What, you want to contract the bamboo forest again?"
Ye Mo breathed out: "No money."
"Why are you contracting the bamboo forest?" Ye Zhi said.
"Make organic fertilizer." Ye Mo said: "Crush the bamboo and process it into organic fertilizer."
"Bamboo organic fertilizer? Is that possible?"
"What's wrong?" Ye Mo said, "This is similar to sawdust organic fertilizer."
The raw materials of bamboo are cheap, and if you cut them down this year, they will grow back next year.
Using bamboo to make organic fertilizer is what Zhang Chunmei said. She said that the organic fertilizer made from bamboo is quite good.
