Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Because the top needs to be capped with PC boards, there is no need to dig too deep.

The height of the planting light is also important. It cannot be too high, as it will affect the effect, and it cannot be too low. If it is too low, the illumination will not be complete, and the light will burn the leaves of the plants.

This kind of grow light is different from ordinary LED lights. Its spectrum is very comprehensive. Zhao Yeqing turned on several grow lights and looked at them, and found that they targeted different types.

Some are purple colored lights, which are beneficial for fruit and vegetable plants to turn red, such as tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and dragon fruits.

Or when planting succulents in pots, use light to increase the speed of coloring for certain succulents.

In the community where she lived before, there was a family who kept a succulent lamp, and the windows were purple-red at night. People who didn't know why thought it was some illegal industry.

She plans to use a full-spectrum grow light. This light is like a hexagonal warrior. The light is normal light with a slight purple-red color. It can be used on all types of vegetables and fruits.

Therefore, in addition to being convenient for people to work, the height of the underground floor must also meet the range of the planting light. After turning off the lights in the room and drawing the curtains, she turned on the planting light and asked Mu Xi to lift it up. She confirmed that the height was about two and a half meters. More appropriate.

The passage to the basement was dug, and no water seepage was encountered during the process. Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is to pull back the red mud and bake it into bricks.

The two of them considered whether to use the cement boards used in the previous wall to build the wall, but they were worried that it would not be able to bear the load, so they decided to use red bricks to be on the safe side.

After Mu Xi brought back the red mud, he handed over the work of making red bricks to Zhao Yeqing, who first dug the basement.

After the basement is dug, it needs to be dried for two days to sterilize.

Zhao Yeqing spent three days making bricks before finishing all the red bricks. Mu Xi dug the basement in two days and mixed the excavated soil with plant ash into mud to build the wall.

It would be stronger to use cement, and there was not much lime left at home. He thought that the red bricks could be supported by the earth wall next to them, and it would be enough to reinforce them with mud.

All that was left was to cut back the wood of the pillars. Zhao Yeqing took over the work after finishing the red bricks and went out carrying the ax.

Mu Xi still had to weld the steel pipe at home.

There are no stones in the ground in the meadow area, it is all yellow and black soil that has accumulated over the years.

The two set up the pillars, built the surrounding brick walls, and waited for the mud on the walls to dry before preparing the soil for planting.

The land in the basement has been plowed, and the soil has been completely dry after a few days. Fertilizer and lime are spread on it. Once the walls are dry, the crops can be transplanted in.

The temperature at noon has now reached 39 degrees, just shy of breaking the 40-degree mark.

Zhao Yeqing asked Mu Xi to bring over the frozen soy milk ice cream from the refrigerator. She was so hot and sweating that she lay down on the straw mat on the floor of the room to rest.

Mu Xi gave her the ice cream and also took the small basin of water that Zhao Yeqing had frozen in the refrigerator.

Now it has turned into a small basin of ice.

The small basin was made of stainless steel. Zhao Yeqing took a small knife and opened the door to let the sunlight in. He used the knife to gently draw around the edge of the basin under the sun, and a whole piece of ice in the shape of a small basin was successfully released from the mold.

She turned off the fan, took out the air-conditioning fan, broke the ice in her hand into two halves on the ground, and put it into the small box under the air-conditioning fan.

start up--

The wind from the air-conditioning fan brought out the coolness of the ice cubes in the box. Zhao Yeqing had the slowly melting soy milk ice cream in his mouth, and the cool wind blew beside him.

"...Finally alive."

The power consumption of this air-conditioning fan is similar to that of a plant lamp. If the two combined are only turned on for ten hours, the power consumption will be a little more than one kilowatt hour.

It's still affordable.

The sunshine is extremely hot now, and the mud has dried completely between noon and afternoon.

The two placed the PC boards and moved a tomato plant and a strawberry plant in for experiments.

Eggs cannot be put in the same basket, at least not all at once.

It is better to be safer and experiment with two relatively pampered plants first. If these two can survive, other plants will not be a problem.

Transplanting should be done before sunset, so that there is a night to buffer and adapt to the sun tomorrow.

Two vents were made in the basement to ensure that the plants inside could breathe. Mu Xi also dismantled an exhaust fan and installed it on one of the air outlets.

The basement is small, so he deliberately picked the smallest one, which was enough. He turned it on three times a day, for an hour each time, and the power consumption was negligible.

The other air outlet is a natural ventilation outlet that can be always opened to maintain daily ventilation needs.

The two turned on the air vent before walking out of the basement, and then went to water the ground after confirming that it was normal.

Now the fields have to be watered in the morning and evening, especially the rapeseed fields, which consume a lot of water.

The earliest rapeseed has begun to form pods, and the honey source of the bee colony can only return to alfalfa. Zhao Yeqing checked the pod formation in the rapeseed field, and as expected, it was affected by the heavy rain.

Many rapeseeds were not pollinated successfully, and it is estimated that more than half of the rapeseed crop was lost.

Mu Xi couldn't see her frowning the most, so he hurriedly comforted her, "We're replanting again, it's okay. I'll pick the tea seeds back and squeeze the oil after a while."

Things had already happened, and there was nothing anyone could do about the rain. She could only accept her fate and work with Mu Xi to pick all the rapeseed that had no pods in the field.

Nowadays, the rapeseed has grown quite old, and there is not much left to eat, which is the middle leaves and stems.

Most of the rest was thrown into the cattle and sheep pens as feed. Rapeseed stalks were not easy to digest, so she was too lazy to chop them up, so she could only feed them in small amounts.

Cattle and sheep are not particularly fond of rapeseed. In contrast, chickens like rapeseed more.

You should also feed fish more diligently in summer to make the fish run away. Now is the season when they are growing meat.

She usually feeds some lettuce and cabbage leaves, and she can also feed carrots. She threw the rapeseed in, and the fish that had sunk to cool down in the water slowly floated up and stopped eating after a few bites.

Quite picky about food.

Zhao Yeqing's eyes moved to the grape trellis above the fish pond. There were already many small white flowers blooming on it. The flowers were hidden under the grape vines to avoid direct sunlight.

Grape flowers bloom on branches that are about to bear fruit. The branches look like a bunch of empty stems that have had their fruits removed, and the flowers are pitifully small.

The little white dots on top are

From time to time, two bees flew over it, as if the flower was too small and it couldn't get down on it. It felt like it wanted to eat but didn't know how to get down.

These two silly bees, grapes are self-pollinated, so no matter how hard they try, they can't eat them. It's OK to wait until the grapes are ripe and then eat some sweet juice.

She estimated that the grapes were about to bear fruit, and if the weather hadn't been too hot, the mass production would have been higher.

Three days later, the transplanted tomatoes and strawberries also came to the inspection period.
