Chapter 37 Uses of Weeds
The road was repaired. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xu Zhen's lemon grass has also been removed, but as Xu Zhen expected, even if most of the nutrients in the nutrient solution are absorbed by lemons, there are many weed seeds in these soils, and these seeds can also absorb a lot of nutrient solution, which makes these weeds grow rapidly!
Fortunately, the grass doesn't need to be removed once a month.
It's still winter, and if it's summer, will the grass grow like crazy? Xu Zhen was a little puzzled, the artificial intelligence had already said that the nutrient solution also had a promoting effect on these weeds.
This deep winter season is no longer suitable for planting radishes, and there are no seasonal vegetables to grow in this season, so Xu Zhen can only leave these lemon fields empty.
But as the ripening period of lettuce and Chinese cabbage approached, Xu Zhen began to worry about these rotten vegetable leaves that were about to be discarded!
Even if these are rotten and yellow, they are more nutritious than those vegetables in the vegetable market, Xu Zhen really doesn't want to discard them like this!
It is undoubtedly the best choice to feed the fish!
But his small fish pond of about three acres can't be used so much! And there is no land left for the six societies to use.
Standing at the pass of the Sixth Society and the Seven Social Circles, looking at the past, it is the land of the Seven and Eight Society, and there is a pool of turquoise water in the middle of the Eight Society.
That's the weir pond of the Eight Societies, about 20 acres! Xu Zhen consulted, and it seems that the president of the Eight Societies contracted to feed the fish.
The entire Eight and Seven Societies are connected together, and at the edge is a very narrow mountain col, about 100 meters long and 50 meters wide.
The mountains on both sides are not short, so there is little sunshine on this land, which is why the lemon boss was reluctant to contract the land of the Seven and Eight Societies in the first place.
In fact, the best way to deal with such terrain is to build a reservoir!
It only takes a 50-meter-wide embankment to submerge hundreds of acres of land in the Seventh and Eighth Societies!
It's just that it's not just the farmland that is submerged under the water, but also a number of farmers and their houses! In this way, no one has the strength to relocate villagers to repair the reservoir.
Of course, Xu Zhen doesn't have this strength.
However, it is not necessary to build reservoirs on the farmland of the Seven Societies.
He conceived a possibility, that is, to contract part of the land of the Seven Societies to dig fish ponds, and then use the abandoned weeds in the lemon field to feed the fish, such fish will definitely taste much better than ordinary forage fish on the market, even if the output will be less, but the price will definitely be much higher!
In that case, it must be more valuable after planting lemons.
Before the boss of the road repaired left, Xu Zhen was already brewing about this matter, but because of the delay in helping his sister open a store and delivering radishes to the city these days, he went to the members of the Seven Societies to talk about contracting land.
This time the road has been repaired, the excavator has withdrawn, and the radishes have been sold, so it's time for him to talk about land contracting!
However, it may be difficult to contract all the land of the Seven Societies, because there are people who have already dug fish ponds and planted lemons in the stars and stars on this land!
If you use ordinary contracting fees to contract these fish ponds, people will definitely not be willing!
But these lands, Xu Zhen is determined to get them.
He was about to go to the villagers of Qishe when he saw a few little geese happily grazing in his lemon field on the side of the road, apparently full of food.
Xu Zhen hadn't paid attention to it before, aren't these a few geese from the fifth grandmother's house!
It's only been a few days since I bought it, how does it feel like I've grown up? Xu Zhen stood down and thought about it, and suddenly seemed to understand something.
He laughed at himself and said to himself, "Who said these weeds have to be fed to the fish?" Can't you feed the geese? ”
Since there is not enough land, let's spread it out! Raise some fish, raise some geese, and even raise cattle and sheep, as long as they are herbivores, can't they all be raised? His lemon fields are not pesticides, and the geese are not poisoned.
Anyway, these can be fed all year round, and lemon fields can produce some grass all year round, and if the geese are allowed to graze in these fields, then there is no need to manually remove the grass at all!
Isn't that a one-size-fits-all thing?
Although the lemon tree no longer needs to be fertilized, isn't goose manure a natural fertilizer? People ask you why you don't use fertilizer in this lemon field, and he can't just explain that there is goose droppings!
Raising a few geese on an acre of land is not a natural scavenger, which not only saves labor costs, but also sells the geese to have a part of the income.
However, he has never raised geese and is not very confident in breeding technology. At least this goose is a little harder to keep than a fish! And it's winter, and although the temperature in Sanchuan Province is rarely below zero in winter, the goslings are not very cold-tolerant!
was excited, Xu Zhen suddenly found another difficulty that could not be overcome by feeding geese. That's when these lemon fields have a deep trench every two trees!
Lemons are not water-loving fruits, so there must be enough draining ditches. These ditches dug with an excavator are wide enough! It is very difficult for both big geese and small geese to cross over, and geese are birds that are not good at flying. If the goose falls, it must not die of cold or starve to death in the ditch! Do you not only have to build a goose shed for the geese, but also have to install a fence by the ditch?
But there are always more solutions than problems!
Xu Zhen looked up and saw the lush bamboo forest behind his home, and suddenly thought about it.
These bamboos can be used to weave some bamboo fences, since it is too wasteful to erect them, they can be placed flat! That's half the savings! And it's usually just a goose walking around on it, so it doesn't need to be very firm! It can work for a year! It's a big deal to make it up next year!
Moreover, the main purpose of these ditches is to drain water, and putting bamboo fences does not affect this most basic function, and can also add a lot of space for geese to move. If you put it flat and add a fence, the effect should be better!
Xu Zhen thought about it and felt that this plan was good and could be tried.
Back home.
"Mom, do you know how to raise geese?"
Lin Yue, who was about to cook, looked at her son puzzled and said, "What? Didn't I feed geese when you were young, and I let you go to the field to herd geese! You forgot! ”
"At that time, feeding those three or five was completely according to the farmer's method, and now I want to feed hundreds of thousands!"
"What are you feeding so many geese for?" Xu Nian also asked curiously.
"I don't know how to use pesticides in these lemon fields, but others don't believe it, so I let these lemon fields always have geese in them, prove it to them, and then these weeds in the lemon field want to compete with the lemon trees for nutrients, so I let these geese eat these grasses! Moreover, these geese all grew up eating grass, and they must taste good, and they will definitely be able to sell for a good price when the time comes! It's a win-win- ”
