Alpine Orchard

Chapter 135

The watermelon planted this year weighs more than 200 kilograms at most. If it is in poor soil, no matter how many spiritual springs are given, it should be difficult to grow so big.

Putting a shelf on the watermelon is suitable for areas with a lot of rain.Also, building a shelf to grow watermelons is only suitable for those small watermelons.For a big watermelon, it is better to let it lie on the ground.

Ye Mo grows early-maturing melons, which should be on the market before May.During this period of time, the local area is dry and rainy, so it is okay not to build a shelf.

The main purpose of building a shelf is to facilitate management, and to make the watermelon more beautiful.

Watermelon shelves can choose triangle, herringbone, and fence.

Ye Mo chose the fence frame, which is more convenient.

Before building the fence, Ye Mo had to raise the soil first...

Driving over with an excavator, 2 pits are lined up horizontally, with a row spacing of 2 meters.Vertical row, 8 meters apart...

The depth of the pit is 30 cm, and half a bag of organic fertilizer is poured into it.

Second Uncle and Second Aunt have nothing to do now, their fruit trees have already been pruned, so they come to help Ye Mo get fertilizer.

In just two days, Ye Mo dug more than a thousand pits, and then gave the excavator to his father, who drove back to the village to continue helping his second uncle dig the fertilizer pit.

Uncle sent a lot of water bamboo.

In the future, the output of watermelons watering Lingquan will definitely be very high.

The frame built must also be stronger.Using self-locking plastic cable ties, three water bamboos are bundled into one.

Ye Mo used the 'Luoyang shovel' to dig a deep hole in the ground, and then inserted the bundled bamboo into it...Fixed a vertical row of bundled bamboo about 1 meter from the ground, and fixed another row at a height of 1.4 meters, and then 1.8 meters high and then fixed a row...

With a height of three rows, these trunks are used to set up melon vines and fix melons and fruits.

All plastic straps are used, which is convenient and saves a lot of time.

As for the horizontal row, that is, between two rows of watermelons...

Watermelons are planted in the spacious aisle of the durian garden.The aisle width is 10 meters...

The shelf is 2 by 4 meters.But the distance between watermelon plants is 2 meters by 8 meters.The racks between two rows of watermelons need to be fixed with bamboo, otherwise, if a strong wind blows, only a single row of watermelon racks will be easily blown down.

Ye Mo is putting on airs here alone, with a dog accompanying him. It's quite boring, and the progress of work is also very slow.

Just as he was about to call Chen Chen and ask him what he was doing, Chen Chen's car drove by.

At Ye Mo's side, Chen Chen parked the car on the side of the road, and Tang Xun jumped out of the passenger seat: "What are you doing, I called you and didn't answer."

"The phone was left on the side of the road outside. It vibrated, but I didn't hear it." Ye Mo put down his work, walked over, and handed them cigarettes: "Why are you here?"

"I heard from Second Uncle that you are putting on airs here alone, what are you doing?" Tang Xun took Ye Mo's cigarette and looked at the airs Ye Mo made.

The shelf is very beautiful, neat and tidy, and it is tied together with three bamboo poles, which looks very strong.Tang Xun shook for a while, but couldn't move very much.

"Growing watermelons?" Chen Chen asked, "Or cantaloupe?"

"Watermelon, cantaloupe, cantaloupe, plant some of them one by one. Are you done with your work?" Ye Mo asked.

"Two days off." Tang Xun said, "I just finished pruning the branches for Chen Chen's orchard, and I'm exhausted."

"Rest, why don't you go fishing? You came here to work for me." Ye Mo said with a smile.

"Our air force has done it many times." Chen Chen said, "If you don't go fishing, it's just the two of us. It's boring."

"What about your father?"

"I'm all tired, so I can rest at home when I have time."

Tang Xun looked at Ye Mo's shelf, and said, "You grow watermelons, what are you doing with the shelf?"

"That's right, early watermelon... It's the dry season here, so there's no need to put on airs." Chen Chen also said.

"The purpose of setting up a shelf is to make high-quality melons." Ye Mo lit a cigarette and sat down: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, let's set up a shelf and see if I can grow high-quality small watermelons, I can also make a fortune."

I wanted to be more relaxed in post-management, and after various considerations, I decided to put on airs.

It takes a lot of effort to build this shelf.Ye Mo, on the other hand, was not as diligent as he seemed.If he could cut corners and save effort, Ye Mo wouldn't bother to do it.

Build shelves, mainly for the convenience of management.At the same time, Ye Mo will use the spiritual springs in different regions to see the impact of different spiritual springs on the growth of watermelons.

In addition to building shelves, Ye Mo will also plant watermelons on the flat ground.Don't look at the bamboo of the two big carts, there are not many of them in real use.

"It seems that next year you are going to do a big job. How many acres of watermelon will you plant?" Tang Xun also lit a cigarette and asked.

"See how many shelves you can build." Ye Mo said, "You can plant as many melons as you can build." It also depends on how much money you have.

Ye Mo gave more organic fertilizer.

According to his fertilization amount, if 1 plants are planted, 200 tons of organic fertilizer will be needed.The organic fertilizer cost 15 yuan.

1 catties of organic fertilizer was given around 40 seedling, which is a lot of fertilizer.Of course, we don't need that much fertilizer in practice, because we can't build such a shelf.

For watermelons grown on flat ground, less organic fertilizer is given.

As for the shelf, it is not just planted for one season.

After the watermelon matures this season, dig another pit 4.5 meters away from the original pit, and continue planting watermelons and netted melons.The extra fertilizer given now is regarded as soil cultivation.

The shelf Ye Mo built is very strong, it doesn't mean that after using it for the first year, it cannot be used for the second year.In the coming year, I can continue to grow melons on the shelf... Fertilize more, which can be regarded as maintaining the soil.

You must know that watermelon is a fruit that can absorb soil fertility especially.

How much to plant depends on how much crayfish can be sold this month.

After smoking a root, Ye Mo stood up and said, "Help me build the shelf, and treat you to crayfish tonight."

"I don't want to eat those crayfish you feed." Tang Xun also stood up.

Ye Mo gave him a contemptuous look: "Bitch, it's just hypocrisy."

What happened to the feed?Which of the pork that I usually eat is not fed with feed...

"Brother Xun doesn't eat crayfish, I will." Chen Chen laughed and said, "I'm not as particular as he is."

"The shrimp seedlings you put in in August, can you eat them now?" Tang Xun asked.

"In a few days, the crayfish in my pond will be sold." Ye Mo rolled his eyes.

"It's only been two months."

"It's been more than two months."

"The brood crayfish you released in August...September, October, November... It's been more than two months." Tang Xun miscalculated just now, thinking that Ye Mo's shrimps were only one. many months.

Since September, he first helped Ye Mo plant durians, and after a few days of rest, he started picking fruits and was busy with various things in the orchard.Feeling a little like a year...

Crayfish are hatched in late August and early September.

When he first started putting shrimp seedlings, Ye Mo was thinking about selling lobsters in April and May next year.

It was the crayfish that suddenly found the reservoir, and it seemed to grow very fast.Then start to calculate the weight gain of crayfish...

The average weight of crayfish in the reservoir is close to 6 yuan.The male lobster is big and costs more than 7 yuan.The female lobster is small...

There are only 30 feeding points in the reservoir. The crayfish around the feeding point are big, while other places are small.The size difference is obvious.

After a while, pick out the big lobsters and sell them.The small lobsters will continue to be raised, waiting to breed next year.
