In the night, the group, dogs, cats and parrots went to the vegetable garden. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The night was not good tonight, the sky was overcast and pitch black, and the moon was not visible.

Xiao Wang flicked his tail a little uneasily, ran two steps to Lao Wang, looked up at him, and his expression was very unique.

"Made, are you afraid even at night? Are you a descendant of lions and tigers? "Wang Bo is so angry, how can Xiao Wang be bolder and smaller.

Bo Dad looked at the sky and said: "This kind of night, it is indeed quite scary, it is estimated that there will be a storm, hurry up and catch the slugs, if it rains, then they will be arrogant." ”

Bo Ma said: "The most feared thing is the strong wind, they lay their eggs on the leaves, so once they are blown away, it is really full of slugs." ”

Sluggs may seem to be very weak, but in fact they are extremely survivable insects.

Only dry weather and hot sunlight are their natural enemies, and nothing else in nature threatens them.

In addition, they are very resistant to hunger and thirst, and can survive for a long time without eating or moving under poor food or poor conditions.

Don't look at the small slug, a slug can harm vegetables dozens of times its weight in one night, which can be described as "eating while pulling" and "walking all the way, eating all the way".

Bo Dad said to him: "At that time, our family's cucumber field had to have two acres, and as a result, hundreds of slugs were all in trouble in a few days. ”

"The worst thing is the leek field of the old six families, which was gnawed by slugs for a year."

Wang Bo was surprised: "They are so powerful? ”

Bo's mother said: "Your father likes to exaggerate now, he didn't make it clear, the leeks are sold as leaves, and no one buys them if the leaves are incomplete and have insect eyes, and the leeks of your sixth uncle's family are gnawed with many holes, and they can't be sold at all." ”

Wang Bo hesitated for a moment and said: "In this case, let's use pesticides, our vegetable field is too big." ”

In specialized agricultural vegetable plots, pesticides can only be used to exterminate pests on a large scale.

Bo Dad disagreed: "Our vegetable garden is for our own family, what we want is pollution-free and natural, what kind of vegetables are we?" ”

"Organic vegetables."

"Oh, yes, organic vegetables, we can't use pesticides, and if we use pesticides, they will become inorganic vegetables."

Lao Wang was shocked by his father's ability to create nouns: Dad, you are really my father!

It is not easy to use pesticides to control insects in New Zealand, and pesticide shops that are common on the streets of rural China are prohibited in New Zealand, and it is more difficult to buy pesticides than to buy antibiotics.

Wang Bo lamented: "Dad, hundreds of hectares of land, do you really plan to use it all to catch insects?" Even if you want to catch bugs, you have to call all the helpers, right? ”

Even if you have a heart for the garden, you still need someone to help.

Bo Dad and Bo Ma are responsible for taking care of the vegetable garden, and Wang Bo has hired more than 20 helpers for them to produce vegetables, otherwise relying on the second elder alone can exhaust their old bones.

Bo's mother said: "Don't show this bear, what did your mother tell you when you were a child?" Farm work, the more you dry, the less you do, and there are not many insects, not all vegetable fields have slugs, just small cabbage fields. ”

Wang Bo recalled that he wanted to estimate the area of the cabbage field, but he hadn't been to the vegetable garden for too long, at most he controlled it from the sand table, and he didn't have the impression of the cabbage field in his mind.

This vegetable field is located in the southeast corner of the vegetable garden, and it is obvious that the slugs appeared from here, but fortunately, Bo Dad and Bo Ma are diligent and check every day, and the slugs are found.

The area of the small cabbage field is small in the vegetable field, but there are more than ten acres, Wang Bo shook his head, this is a protracted battle.

Catching the insects depends on the hand, Bo Daddy took some small plastic buckets, sprinkled them with edible salt, so that the slugs are caught and thrown in, they will soon lose water and die.

Slugs are similar to snails without shells, their bodies are covered with mucus, their bodies are filled with a lot of fluid, and they are afraid of heat and light, that is, they are afraid of losing water.

And there are many ways to make them lose water, in addition to high temperature light, dehydration with desiccant is also a way, there is no desiccant in the castle, Bo Daddy prepared salt, which is equally effective.

Everyone wore a hat with a headlamp on their head and disposable rubber gloves and started scratching bugs.

Little Lori giggled excitedly after dressing up: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, look, I've become a miner." ”

Wang Bo praised: "Where did this beautiful little miner come from? Come, go down to the mine with my brother-in-law......"

Daddy Bo glared at him angrily and said, "How old is a person, why do you talk so casually?" ”

Wang Bo was inexplicable, and then recalled his words, it seemed that there was indeed some ambiguity, but Xiao Lori didn't pay attention, and she was still there tidying up the headlamp and wanted to be beautiful.

A few people scattered, and the young president quickly smiled: "Look, I caught two, and they stay together." ”

The two slugs stacked Arhats up and down, Lao Wang shook his head, Made, the bear child, didn't know how hurtful things he had done, the slugs must have hated him to death, and people were mating.

If you open the leaves of the cabbage, you can see the slug, which is easy to spot, because the mucus on the surface of the slug reflects the light, and the light shines on it.

Wang Bo quickly grabbed more than a dozen and threw them into the small bucket, without the protection of the shell, the slugs quickly became dehydrated after being contaminated with table salt, and once they were dehydrated too much, they died.

But it was too inefficient to do so, so he stood up after sweeping for a while, took out his mobile phone and began to go online for help.

Google how to deal with slugs, and the first answer that comes out is drug fighting.

There is a medicine called slugbait in New Zealand, which is cheap and can be bought in many supermarkets.

Wang Bo suddenly perked up, he looked at the introduction, this thing is very effective against slugs.

However, because of its low toxicity, this thing can only numb the snail and make it unable to move for a few hours, but it cannot kill them, no way, in New Zealand, low-toxicity and efficient pesticides do not exist.

There are also many methods circulating on the Internet, Wang Bo looked at it, and then couldn't help laughing.

Some of the methods on the Internet say that a cup is buried in the ground next to the plant and beer or sugar water is poured into it to attract slugs to fall into it and drown.

There is also a way to say that if you pour coffee grounds on the edge of the plant, the slugs will die of caffeine poisoning when they come into contact with them.

There's even a way to artificially create a dark, damp environment that waits until dawn to attract slugs to crawl in, and then catch them all......

Seeing this, Lao Wang couldn't help laughing, New Zealanders are really funny and cute, just catch a bug and make it look like catching a spy, what kind of idea is this!

He read it to everyone, and they laughed, and after laughing, the sky began to rain.

Seeing this, Bo Dad and Bo Ma couldn't laugh anymore.
