Changshui Village Farming Notes

Chapter 278 "The Raid"

No one paid attention to him, Lin Dongqing was also happy.

He first looked at the potted green radishes, spider plants and other green plants placed at the door, and then walked along the path of the flower garden.

As he walked, he saw Meng Fangzhi digging the soil inside.

Lin Dongqing saw that he first poured a bucket of black leaf mulch into a pit on the ground, then added mountain mud, river sand, and plant ash in sequence, and finally added some off-white powder substances, and kept pouring it with a shovel. Toss to mix the ingredients evenly.

Lin Dongqing looked at it carefully and attentively, thinking about the question, and asked it inadvertently.

"Young man, I know the reason for the mulch and river sand you added, but what is the white powder you added last, and what is the use of adding it?" But the old man has been in good health recently, and his voice is also loud very.

Suddenly, his whole body trembled, Meng Fangzhi, who was originally concentrating on his work, was frightened by the old man.

Such a big living person, who has been sneaking in for so long without being found, suddenly yelled, and his soul didn't come back for a while, this old man simply took an unusual path!
I felt in my heart that they really should keep a dog at the door, so that they could squeak when someone came.

Lin Dongqing saw the young man's hands trembling so much, and knew that he had frightened his children, but he had always been awkward, and he was embarrassed to apologize to him, so he seemed a little embarrassed to stand there.

After a while, Meng Fangzhi finally asked, "Is the young man alright?"

Meng Fangzhi was originally a gentle person, seeing such an old man, he didn't blame him in his heart, and replied with a smile, "It's nothing."

Thinking of the question asked by the old man just now, I explained, "Oh, I added bone meal, which is a fertilizer powder made by grinding animal bones and fermenting it. The content of phosphorus fertilizer in it is very high, but flower fertilizer is generally Can't add more."

Lin Dongqing nodded thoughtfully, thought for a while and asked a question he often encountered when growing flowers, "Then the leaves of the azaleas I often raise often wither and turn yellow. Do you know the reason for this?"

Last spring, his second son brought him some pots of rhododendrons.

The flower bloomed well when it was brought back, and he took care of it seriously, but the flower didn’t bloom for too long. After a while, the leaves began to turn yellow and fall off, and even the flowers became sickly. , There are fewer flowers blooming this year.

He also fertilized according to the book, but the situation was even more serious.

"Master, do you often fertilize the flowers?" Meng Fangzhi asked.

Lin Dongqing nodded, "Isn't that right? I read it in a book on growing flowers before. It said that azaleas like to be fertilized, and they need to be fertilized frequently. Why, isn't that right?"

"I didn't say it's wrong, but you may fertilize too frequently or too thickly. These may burn the roots and the leaves will become scorched. We must choose the right time to fertilize, and apply fertilizers with more phosphorus and iron before flowering in spring. Fertilizer, so that the color of the flower will be more vivid; during the growth period after flowering, more nitrogen is needed; during the flower bud differentiation period in mid-August, the concentration of fertilizer increases..."

Meng Fangzhi talked to Lin Dongqing about a lot of knowledge about growing flowers, and Mr. Lin also listened carefully.

Unexpectedly, he could meet an expert in growing flowers in Changshui Village.
