There's a garbage bin in my head

Chapter 260

On the tea mountain, which had been bustling for a while, it was rare to be quiet. Luo Jiu and Luo Liyun walked in the middle of the land where the fruit trees had been planted, checking the condition of the newly planted saplings.

It is not yet possible to see the survival of the saplings, but we have not found any holes dug by mice or rabbits under the saplings.

For a long time, there is no land for planting crops. I am afraid of animals such as mice and rabbits on the mountain. Saplings are better. If there are seeds, if you look at them the next day, you will definitely find that the ground is full of just run out Hole.

After confirming that the situation was good and preparing to go home, Luo Liyun asked Luo Jiu: "Now that the saplings have been planted, what are your plans for the next thing on the mountain?"

"After resting for a few days, we will gather the people who have been working on the mountain for a long time and continue to plow the land on the mountain, trying to plow all the land on the tea mountain as soon as possible.

Also, in a few days, go and bring back the thorn orange seedlings. Wherever Luo Changqing and the others dug the road, you can arrange for everyone to plant the thorn oranges.

But don’t plant thorn oranges like planting fruit trees a few days ago, just use compound fertilizer directly. "

Citrus is easier to plant than most of the fruit tree seedlings. It is said that cutting a branch of a Citrus tree and inserting it in the ground can grow a tree.

"I will arrange these things, but after turning over the land on the mountain, if nothing is planted, the weeds will grow up again soon, and they will grow faster than before. When the trees are planted at the end of the year, Probably about the same as now.”

After hearing what Luo Liyun said, Luo Jiu finally realized that it is only around April, and the tree planting in the second half of the year will be around November, and there is still more than half a year to go.

Over such a long period of time, if the land that had been plowed had not been planted with anything, the thatch would have grown even more lush than it does now, as Luo Liyun said.

Unless you plow the entire tea mountain after a period of time, but don't think about such things, it will look silly.

It's okay to plow a piece of open land with a tractor over and over again, and there is nothing planted on it, so the villagers will definitely gossip about it.

Although Luo Jiu is rich, it is still inevitable that people will talk about it behind their backs, and there will definitely be people talking about it.

Imagine that situation, Luo Jiu quickly decided to plant something in the ground: "What do you think is good to plant? It should be easy to take care of, and it should be able to suppress the growth of weeds after planting it?"

"If you want to take care of simple things, but also be able to inhibit the growth of weeds, then there are only crawling ones, and the most suitable ones are sweet potatoes."

Luo Liyun said: "However, even if you plant sweet potatoes, you need to weed the sweet potatoes once or twice before the vines grow up. Only after the sweet potato vines have covered the ground can we control the growth of weeds." Purpose.

In fact, it is most convenient to use herbicides. After the grass grows in the field, spray a large dose of herbicide directly to ensure that there will be no grass growing in the field for a long time. "

Luo Jiu thought for a while, and finally said: "We should use herbicides according to the situation. If we really can't handle it at that time, then we can only use herbicides."

Luo Jiu has made statistics in the past few days. There are not many people nearby who can occasionally come from the mountains to help. For old men and women in their age, there is no problem with easier work, but even if they are willing to do the work that is too hard and tiring, Luo Jiu dare not let them do it.

And weeding the crops in the field can be said to be the hardest and most tiring job in the countryside. The weather for weeding is usually when the weather is fine, so that the weeds weed down can be sun-dried to death.

If you go weeding in rainy weather, it will be useless at all, and the weeds will take root in the ground and grow again the next day, and when everyone is weeding, the ground will be trampled to mud.

However, if the weather is fine, it means the sun and hot weather. Working in the fields under such weather is naturally a very hard and tiring job. Luo Jiu is afraid that they will not be able to bear it when he is old.

Although the old people in the countryside had all come from that time and were used to such things, Luo Jiu still didn't dare to take that risk. If someone had a heatstroke or had a misfortune, it would be too late to regret it.

When Luo Jiu said that herbicides could be used, Luo Liyun obviously breathed a sigh of relief: "Since we can use herbicides, it will be much easier. But I still recommend planting sweet potatoes, as long as one season of sweet potatoes is planted, next year one season will be planted." There’s a lot less grass in the ground all year long.”

Originally, Luo Liyun had already asked Luo Jiu this question, and even bought several large boxes of herbicides, obviously for the fruit trees that had already been planted.

But when Luo Liyun asked Luo Jiu, Luo Jiu said not to use it at the time, but to think about it first.

In fact, after all, Luo Jiu still doesn't want to use herbicides, because all herbicides contain toxins to some extent, and not one or two people drank paraquat in the early years.

"It depends on the situation, but at the same time as planting sweet potatoes, can some watermelons be grown on the mountain? I remember that when I was a child, someone planted watermelons on the tea mountain."

Luo Jiu suddenly remembered that when she was a child and went to the mountains with her grandparents to pick tea, she saw someone planting watermelons on the tea mountain: "And I remember that the watermelons grown on the tea mountain are more delicious than those in other places in the village. "

Luo Jiu still remembered that for the same watermelon species, the watermelons grown by the uncle in the garden outside the Taoist temple were not as delicious as the watermelons grown on the tea mountain.

"It's okay to grow watermelons. The watermelons grown on Chashan are indeed sweeter and crisper than watermelons grown in other places."

Luo Liyun asked: "But how much watermelon do you plan to plant on the mountain, and if you start at this time, you can only plant mid-late ripening watermelon."

Luo Jiu said: "With such a large area on the tea mountain, we can grow as many wine species as we can, and the rest of the land will be planted with sweet potato vines."

"Then will there be too many watermelons? Even if we plant 10 mu of watermelons, we can harvest at least [-] catties of watermelons. How can we sell so many watermelons? It is impossible to eat them all."

Mid-to-late-maturing varieties of watermelon have relatively higher yields, and it is not impossible for well-planted watermelons to yield tens of thousands of catties per mu.

Even if planting watermelons on the tea mountain is only incidental, as long as you put your heart into it, it is still no problem to harvest five or six thousand catties of watermelons per mu, so how to sell them is a big problem. It is impossible to work hard to grow them, and then let them They rot in the ground as fertilizer, right?

Although this is also a good method, it is obviously unrealistic, but Luo Jiu is not worried that the watermelon will not be sold.

Luo Jiu knew the biggest owner of the fruit business in the county. In summer, more than half of the watermelons in Mei County were brought in from other places, and there were not so many watermelons locally to consume.

At that time, Luo Jiu only needs to say hello to the bosses who are in the fruit wholesale business, and he is not worried that more than [-] catties of watermelons will not be sold.
