Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

First experiment: Preparation of special fertilizer

Set up control groups: the first group gets bone meal, the second group doesn’t, and the third group gets salt (optional);

Experimental phenomenon: In the first group, a small amount of crystallization occurred after the bone powder was sprinkled in, but as the yellowish substance (suspected to be oil and protein) precipitated, the crystallization reaction stopped and the experiment failed; there was no crystallization phenomenon and no reaction occurred in the other two groups.

Experimental inference: Self-prepared bone meal should meet the requirements of the formula, but it is possible that during the grinding process, the bone meal was not pure enough and the fat and protein were not separated.

Solution: Optimize the production steps of bone meal to ensure its purity and avoid the mixing of oil and protein, so as to ensure the smooth production of special fertilizer.

-----------------

It has been a long time since I wrote an experimental report. Sean put down the paper and pen and felt a little emotional. The time he spent doing experiments in college in his previous life has become a distant memory.

After all, there is no going back, so let's look forward! Sean himself is not a sentimental person, but the scene made him feel a little emotional.

After pouring the failed products of the experiment into a specially prepared bucket, Sean began to rethink the method of purifying bone meal.

I took out my phone and searched for the downloaded agricultural information, but as expected, there was no answer. I subconsciously opened the browser, and the familiar blank page was spinning in circles.

It’s troublesome to have no internet. Sean put his phone back into the space and paced around the room in annoyance.

Suddenly, Sean slapped his thigh and stopped abruptly. He thought of the layer of foam floating on the broth when he was boiling bone soup over a high fire yesterday. Wasn't that the fat that was separated from the bones?

It turns out that the solution lies in life. Sean immediately poured the remaining bone meal ground yesterday into the pot and added water to boil it.

During this period, Sean went to the warehouse to prepare dry straw, and cut it into lengths of one finger's width with a guillotine to speed up the rate at which the slime dissolved the straw.

After everything was ready, I returned to the stove and saw a layer of fat floating on the surface of the boiling water in the pot.

It worked! Sean picked up a spoon and skimmed off the floating fat on the top, observing whether there were any impurities floating up.

After the purification stage was completed, Sean filtered out the bone meal. In order to prevent excess water from causing errors in the material ratio, Sean poured the bone meal into a pot and fried it over low heat to dry out the moisture.

After all the materials have been prepared, continue the experiment.

Second experiment: The temperature dropped too quickly when the slime dissolved the straw. Failed

The third experiment: Too much straw was put in at one time. Failed

……

The seventh experiment: It has reached the last step without any major problems, and we are just waiting to add the bone meal.

Sean looked at the last bit of bone powder left in his hand and swallowed it involuntarily. However, his hands steadily and evenly poured the bone powder into the bubbling slime dissolving liquid. With his other hand, he took an iron spoon and stirred the solution quickly as if beating an egg custard, so that the bone powder and the slime could be fully blended.

Turn off the heat and let it cool down, then all that's left is to wait quietly.

The yellow-brown solution gradually faded in color and then turned completely into a transparent liquid. At the same time, white rice-sized particles continued to crystallize and precipitate in the liquid, accumulating at the bottom of the pot.

These white objects are fertilizers according to the description of the formula. As the white substance increases, the transparent liquid on top gradually decreases until all the liquid turns into white particles.

Sean, with an expression that looked like he couldn't believe that he had succeeded, grabbed a few grains of fertilizer and squeezed them in his hands. With a slight force, the grains immediately turned into powder and covered his entire fingertips.

I was quite curious and put my finger to my nose and smelled it. It didn't have a pungent smell like fertilizer, but surprisingly had a smell of grass.

Sean picked up a glass bottle that had been prepared nearby, which had a capacity of about 3 liters. He poured the fertilizer that he had made with great difficulty into the bottle, filling up most of the glass bottle.

Sean looked at the glass bottle in front of him, thinking about the name of this fertilizer that he made with his own hands.

Let's just call you "Jin Ke La". Sean remembered a joke from his previous life and borrowed this name with some bad taste.

Soon Sean put a label with the name "Jin Ke La" on the glass bottle.

Finally, the fertilizer was prepared without any danger. Sean was in a very happy mood and was full of energy to clean up the messy experimental site.

To prevent these experimental materials from potentially polluting the environment, Sean used his land perspective ability to carefully select a remote location downwind from the farm, while ensuring that the site was far from rivers and groundwater sources.

The conditions are still simple now. When we have money in the future, we must build an experimental waste treatment plant. At this stage, this is the only way to deal with it. Sean buried the discarded experimental materials deep in the soil.

After everything was done, Sean returned to the cabin and opened the notebook that contained the tree-shaped mind map of how to run a farm well.

With the help of this fertilizer, Sean needs to re-plan the future development direction of the farm.

[The first priority is to understand the usage, dosage and effectiveness of this fertilizer.

In agricultural production, for crops, don't underestimate the knowledge of fertilization. The yield of crops depends entirely on fertilizers unless the weather is not good.

Different crops absorb fertilizers, mainly nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, in different proportions. The numerous nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizers with different proportions and types in agricultural production are also based on this.

I hope this fertilizer can be as described in the system: versatile, efficient, and pollution-free. 】

[Spring is coming soon. Why not find a few more farmers to experiment with this fertilizer? But how can we make them accept the use of this fertilizer and not doubt its origin? ]

Sean scratched his head, thinking hard.

[As for raw materials, straw can be found everywhere and is not worth much. As for bone meal, it is too time-consuming to buy large bones and make it by yourself. I hope there will be progress in the commission column.

Slime condensate is enough for now, but a stable source will still be a problem in the future. Let's see if we can encounter more slimes during the weekly exploration opportunities. 】

[Now that the fertilizer problem has been solved, it’s time to start cultivating the fields. ]

Close the notebook and throw it into space.

Sean came to the cave where the vines were planted. Several vines were still lying on the ground sickly, lifeless, and their leaves were more or less shriveled.

The leaves of the vine with nothing on it had already started to wither, and it should not be able to survive.

Unable to sit still and wait for death, Sean took out the newly prepared Jinkela fertilizer and applied a little bit to each plant, thinking that he would try his best.

Because I was afraid of root burn, I didn't dare to sprinkle too much, so I only sprinkled two or three grains of fertilizer on each plant.

On the way back, Sean picked up a few weeds that were still growing tenaciously in the winter, and moved them back to the cabin along with large pots of soil.

Move the prepared seedling boxes out of the warehouse and transplant the weeds into them.

"I didn't expect that you guys have enjoyed what the crops haven't enjoyed yet. You are so lucky to be living in this five-star residence, away from the wind and rain."

Sean gave a typical villain smile and used the weeds to experiment with fertilizer.

Sprinkle the fertilizer on the roots of each weed in order from small to large, and observe the growth of each weed. Although each plant requires a different amount of fertilizer, the approximate range of dosage can be derived by analogy.

Time waits for no one, and more refined experimental data can only be further improved in practical planting in the future.
