Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 545 Reclaiming Wasteland and Farming

"puff--"

The sharp edge of the hoe dug into the ground and pried it hard, and the red soil was about a foot deep.

was turned over.

"Bam—"

Then use the top of the hoe and tap lightly.

The soil scattered in all directions, countless earthworms almost as thick as chopsticks, wriggling endlessly
Countless chickens and ducks clucked and quacked and swooped up. The chickens pecked and swallowed the ducks, eating them with great joy.

"Dig so deep? Why not exhaust people to death?"

Seeing Luo Xuan digging the ground with a long hoe, Na Mu was puzzled, "Dig a hole and plant the vegetable seeds. Why do you have to dig so deep?"

People in the village basically don't grow vegetables to eat.

Even if they occasionally plant some vegetables such as pumpkins and long beans, they really don't need to plant them too deep.

But Luo Xuan is in this vegetable field, and there are many varieties of vegetables to be planted.

Things like eggplant, celery, green beans, and waxy corn need to be raised and planted separately.

Dig the soil deeper, so that its air permeability and soil strength will be better.

Wait until the vegetables grow up,

Apply some farmyard manure so that the vegetable leaves will not wither and turn yellow due to lack of fertility.

I heard Na Mu asking herself.

Luo Xuan just kept his head down on his work and didn't explain to Na Mu that it was too much effort.

I was already a little tired to surrender Nali just now, if I want to sleep with Namu again
Forget it, there are still so many people!
Who cares about convincing them one by one?

"Hey, why are you digging with such a long hoe, Nali?"

Na Mu was very surprised, "Didn't we all use very short hoes when digging?"

Miao Meisha, who was at the side, had a playful smile in her eyes, "She has learned a painful lesson before she learned what she is doing now."

Nali was digging.

While pursing his lips, he said, "It's not miserable, it hurts a little bit! However, I think what Luo Xuan said is right, if the ground is deeper, the effect will be better."

Nali's previous voice was really shrill.

So not far away, Han Zhu, Lao Min, including Miao Meisha, who were busy building a house, could hear clearly.

Luo Xuan asked Miao Meisha, "If you don't help build the house, why come here to watch the excitement?"

Miao Meisha replied, "There are my sister and brother Min over there, which is almost the same. The place to live is solved, but the problem of our future food is still very serious.

So I think it is more important to learn how to farm the land with you now than to build a house. "

Luo Xuan heard the words,

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Miao Meisha.

The sun was shining brightly, shining on her body, showing every detail.

The long eyelashes and thick ear hair are very pretty.

What's even more rare is that this is a girl who has completely different ideas from those in the village.

Like Na Mu and Na Li, if they are full today, they don't care about tomorrow's affairs.

What is commendable is Miao Meisha, but she can consider the long-term.While building a house, I can think about the food problem in the future. This is not easy.

Intensive farming,

At this time, it has not been widely used.

Luo Xuan is very willing to teach Miao Meisha, such a brainy person who can plan and arrange: "The ground must be dug deeper.

Try to dig out the grass roots inside and dry them in the sun.In this way, when it rains, the weeds will not grow so fast and densely. "

Luo Xuan carefully explained to Miao Meisha, "And after burning these weeds and their roots, the plant ash is a very good phosphorus and potassium fertilizer."

"anything else?"

Miao Meisha took the initiative to pick up a hoe,
While helping to dig the ground, he asked, "There is a person from the Mainland who has been to our side before.

He lives alone in the deep mountains and old forests.

Miao Meisha said, "But the land planted by others grows a lot of crops and harvests a lot of food.

However, the people in our village did not grow the crops well, and the grain harvest was very little.Why is this? "

"Dig deep, fertilize more, and weed frequently."

Luo Xuan explained, "The other thing is to prevent pests and diseases, and to drive away wild animals, lest they come to harm the crops.

As long as these points can be achieved, there will be a bumper harvest of grain. "

There is plenty of water in this area.

In Laos County, where there are only dry seasons and rainy seasons, there are very few natural disasters.

Therefore,
As long as the few points mentioned by Luo Xuan are achieved, the grain yield per mu will definitely be greatly improved.

then,

Miao Meisha kept asking some questions, and Luo Xuan took the trouble to answer them one by one.

For a studious person like Miao Meisha, Luo Xuan is still very willing to teach her.

As for Na Mu and Na Li,
Luo Xuan is going to use practical actions to slowly guide and reverse their ideas.

If you want to speed, you can't reach it.

Take your time, anyway, as much as you can change in the end, there is no need to force yourself.

Half of Luo Xuan's two acres of land is used to grow soybeans.

This is mainly because the land is still a bit barren, and the soybeans planted can fix nitrogen and improve the soil structure.

This year, half of the land is used to grow soybeans and improve the soil.

Then turn around next year: the remaining half of the land will be used to continue planting soybeans.

The land here is used to grow vegetables.

half of soybeans,

For the rest of the land, green beans, celery, coriander, chard, eggplant peppers, leeks and glutinous corn are all planted.

Originally there were many varieties,
In fact, in the interior, this season is no longer suitable for planting.

But the climate here is really different, and you can sow seeds almost all year round.

In addition, these seeds have undergone mutation and evolution in space.

The disease resistance and adaptability of its seeds have been greatly improved.

So Luo Xuan decided to give it a try.

As for how much can be collected at that time, Luo Xuan hasn't considered that much yet.

Anyway, as long as it is guaranteed that most of the vegetables can grow normally.

Even if it succeeds.

With Zhang Xiaoli and Miao Meisha, Luo Xuan mixed the silt from the stream with the soil in the field.

Knead them into something like a bun, and place them one by one.

Na Mu was curious, "What are you going to do?"

"Cultivate seedlings, cultivate corn seedlings."

Luo Xuan was rubbing the mud balls,

While replying, "Press a corn seed into each bun. Then, when the corn seedlings are taller, transplant these corn seedlings into the ground."

"It's really strange that you farm the land!"

Na Mu was puzzled, "When we grow corn in our village, we dig a hole and throw a few grains of corn into it.

Just kick some dirt with your feet and cover it up. How can you be so troublesome? "

"Besides, you grow corn like this."

Na Mu pouted, "If you plant half of the hill, wouldn't you be exhausted to death?"

Luo Xuan asked her, "Then you planted half a hill, and did you harvest a lot of corn?"

Na Mu shook her head, "Very rarely, sometimes even the bag of corn seeds that were planted can't be collected back."

"Isn't this the end?"

Luo Xuandao, "Extensive planting and low harvest, relying on the sky to eat. Sowing seeds all over the mountain, the result is no benefit at all. Tired for a long time, you say your family farms like that, what are you planning?"

Na Mu asked curiously, "Could it be that if you grow corn like you, can you harvest a lot of food?"

"I am very sure of that."

Luo Xuan nodded, "Let's see the final output! Anyway, I can't explain it clearly to you now."

Now that I want to change the humanistic environment here.

Then you can only encourage them, not discourage them.

So I have to be very sure about myself.

But in order to correctly guide Na Mu, Na Li and the others, they must master advanced farming methods and farming techniques as soon as possible.

We can only use the final result to attract and shock them.

You have to speak with facts.

But as for why, do you want to farm like this?
Luo Xuan really had no choice but to explain clearly to Nali and Namu, who were almost illiterate.

Not to mention that Na Mu and Miao Meisha have never seen this kind of intensive cultivation method.

Even Zhang Xiaoli, who grew up in rural areas in the interior, even when she was a child.

She is also unseen and unheard of.

It's just that Zhang Xiaoli knows that Luo Xuan always has some unexpected behaviors.

He has been playing for so many years, isn't he also very successful?
So often Zhang Xiaoli would not question Luo Xuan's behavior at all. She just followed what Luo Xuan said and did it.

As for the final success or failure.

Zhang Xiaoli didn't take it seriously at all: If there is too much food, then eat more fine grains.

What if there isn't enough food?
At worst, just follow the example of the local girls, Na Mu and Na Li: go up the mountain with a scimitar and ask the mountain for food.
Seed corn and press it into "wowotou".

It can greatly improve the germination rate of corn seeds.

And use the silt in the creek, mixed with the soil to make the foundation, which is rich in various fertilizers.

This can ensure that each corn seed can obtain sufficient fertility during the germination period.

And wait until the corn seedlings grow half a foot long and need to be transplanted.

at that time,

It can be predicted in advance which seedlings are not growing well and need to be eliminated in advance.

In this way,
It can ensure that every corn seedling transplanted into the ground is a healthy plant with well-developed root system and good growth.

This is the essence of "intensive farming": try to increase the yield of plants and their survival rate.

So as to achieve the goal of "obtaining the maximum output with the least land area".

The land reclaimed this time is estimated to be about 2 mu.

Half of that is soybeans.

The other 3 points of land are planted with waxy corn, among which some carrots and sweet potatoes are interplanted.

This kind of corn has a soft and waxy taste and can be eaten as a staple food.

Then plant eggplant and celery on 1 point of land. Onions, leeks, ginger, carrots, and white radishes are high-yielding varieties that are easy to grow.

The weather in Laos County will be very cold and wet once the rainy season arrives.

In order to keep out the cold, more peppers are planted.

If you can't finish fresh chili, you can also dry it.That way it can be stored for a long time.

People here like to eat chili very much.

Whether it is the wild mango, papaya, tamarind they picked back from the mountain, the mountain people like to cut it into shreds.

Then dip it in chili noodles and salt and eat it raw.

Therefore, Luo Xuan planted more peppers in the field, and planted a total of 2 points of land.

For the last 2 points of land left, Luo Xuan planted all of it as "beef cabbage".

This breed can be used both as a vegetable and as a feed to pigs.

As for the edge of the land, Luo Xuan planted some pumpkins, loofahs, red beans, lentils and other species that like to climb.

Wait until the large plot is planted.

At that time, we will have to cut a lot of bamboo and come back to enclose the entire land.

Otherwise, sometimes the cattle on the mountain would slip down the mountain in groups and harm the crops.

This time farming,
After a full 3 days of busy work, all the land was finally planted.

Looking at the neatly spread fields, drainage ditches and diversion canals are all available.

Luo Xuan and Zhang Xiaoli still had a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.

just
There are more than 10 people every day, and they eat and drink every day.

The food at home is a bit unbearable.

There is naturally a lot of food in the space.

But for a while, I was busy working in the ground every day.So there is no matter how much food there is in the space.

Luo Xuan is also really inconvenient, so take it out and use it.

It seems that

We have to think of a way to solve the immediate food crisis.
