There's a garbage bin in my head

Chapter 251
Watching Ermeng driving the tractor to cut down the weeds, the rake behind him raked all the fallen weeds together, and when he reached the end of the field, he piled up all the weeds there, and then someone Pull these weeds away with a trailer.

"Uncle Yun, why don't these weeds be piled up on the spot? Let the excavator dig a hole on the side, and then bury the weeds on the spot. Why do you have to be pulled away?"

There are quite a few people who came to help today. Luo Jiu saw a dozen or so of them, all of whom were in their 60s and [-]s, both men and women, and almost all of them were Luo Jiu's elders. They always called uncle and aunt when they met.

After greeting the people who helped him one by one, Luo Jiu asked the questions in his heart.

Ever since the trees on the mountains grew up, there have been several wildfires every year throughout the county for a long time, so the use of fire in the wild has become more and more stringent.

As long as they are caught, they will be fined, and sometimes they will be detained, so in the past few years, it is rare to see things burning mountains in the wild.

When Luo Jiu was a child, in a barren mountain like Chashan, there would never be anyone who cut weeds. All of them were lit with a fire, and the fire burned more and more vigorously, leaving only a few bare branches in the end.

Now we are not allowed to burn the mountains. Generally, when we open up wasteland, we dig a hole and bury those weeds, and they can be dug out for fertilizer the next year.

Luo Jiu was a little confused about the current operation.

"The weather is good during this time, and the thatch and shrubs don't have much moisture, so I asked everyone to pull down the thatch and burn it together."

Luo Liyun explained to Luo Jiu: "The burnt plant ash can be mixed with the fermented fertilizer to plant trees, and the effect will be better than using pure fermented fertilizer.

A lot of thatch has been burned a few days ago. If there is no wind, I plan to burn all the thatch that has accumulated in the past few days, and I can burn hundreds of loads of plant ash. "

Hearing that it was actually used to burn plant ash, Luo Jiu said worriedly: "Will it be unsafe to do this? If you just scrape a spark into the Luoying Mountain next door, it will be a disaster. The sky is dry and everything is dry now." , it hasn’t rained for a month, and any spark will start a fire that can’t be extinguished.”

In the countryside, plant ash is actually a very useful fertilizer. Even now, there are still many people in the countryside who burn firewood for cooking, and the ashes that are burned are plant ash.

Using this kind of plant ash to grow vegetables, the vegetables will grow very well, and it is not easy to grow worms. Luo Jiu still remembers using plant ash to kill cabbage worms when he was a child.

When there are bugs on the green vegetables or the seedlings that have just grown for a long time, there is no need for pesticides and insecticides, and only a handful of plant ash can kill those bugs.

Before the dew on the vegetable leaves is dry in the morning, take a bucket with a bucket of plant ash and sprinkle all the vegetable leaves with plant ash. After the insects eat the leaves sprinkled with plant ash, they will all die.

And those plant ash can also be used as fertilizer, it is simply serve multiple purposes.

And when they have free time in the second half of the year, some people will go to the mountains to dig turf and use it to burn the plant ash, which will be used as fertilizer in the coming year. The plant ash also contains high potassium and phosphate fertilizers, which is particularly effective in increasing crop yields. .

However, in recent years, there are no more people who dig turf and burn grass and wood ash. On the one hand, it is not allowed to use fire in the wild, and on the other hand, the reason is that people are planting less and less things now, and there is no shortage of that little bit of fertilizer. .

And now you can buy whatever you want to eat at any time, and people don't pay as much attention to growing things as before.

Just like a remote village like Qingshan Village, several tricycles and small trucks passing by shopping every day, shouting their horns all the way, buying fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and other things.

So now people in rural areas are slowly becoming lazy. Even if they are farming, they will only grow a little things in front of and behind the house, and many things are bought with money.

During the Chinese New Year last year, everyone was still feeling that life is better now, and everyone doesn't even have to grow their own rice.

Last year, among more than 100 households in Qingshan Village, there were only 3 households who grew their own rice and could eat without buying rice for a year, less than 3%.

There are more than 80 households that do not grow a single grain of rice, and several households grow some land of glutinous rice, which is specially used to make wine for their own consumption.

From here we can see how few people are farming in rural areas now.

Together with Luo Liyun, they packed up the tools for replacing the tractor accessories. Luo Jiu said to Luo Liyun, "Where is the ashes burned, let me go and see? When I came up just now, a lot of land at the foot of the mountain had been turned over." , how much land has been turned over these days?"

"It's just below the place where the tea mountain used to build a shed. There used to be a pool there. A few days ago, I asked Changqing to clean up the pool and use it to burn plant ash."

Luo Liyun said to Luo Jiu: "The burned plant ashes are placed on the site where the shed was built before. Now almost three hundred tons have been burned. Speaking of which, this is the most I have ever seen after the big group ended. The grass is gray."

Soon, Luo Jiu saw the ashes of vegetation burned some time ago, piled on a flat ground three or four inches in size, with three mounds as high as a person.

Luo Liyun said: "This pile is 100 Dan."

"Nearly 100 acres of land have been turned over in the past few days. I originally planned to dig tree pits, but you didn't specify what kind of fruit trees you wanted to plant, so it was difficult to dig pits.

In fact, we can start planting trees now, but it has not rained for a long time. When the saplings are planted, we need to divert water to moisten the ground.

Xiaojiu, what fruit tree do you plan to plant first? Have you decided on the sapling? "

"It's too late this year, and these lands are all wastelands that have just been turned over, so I plan to plant less this time, and for the time being, I will plant five kinds of peach trees, plums, red bayberries, plums, and cherries. Each kind of planting is about 10 mu, which adds up to 50 mu.

Uncle Yun, do you think it is too late to plant these saplings?
As for the saplings, when I was in Xingcheng this time, I went to the nursery of Xingcheng Baiguoyuan and saw their fruit saplings, and I will go there to buy saplings then.

But you need to count the fruit saplings you need first, so I can arrange for someone to buy the saplings back. "

Luo Jiu stayed in Star City during this period, not staying in Qicheng Smart all day long, but went to many places in Star City, including Baiguoyuan, and many people from the company went with him. I went to the orchard to pick strawberries once.
