I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 114 Pine Needle Fertilizer

 The two men filled the baskets, carried them directly down the mountain, and poured the pine needle fertilizer into the open fields.

Bai Anyan watched blankly as his mother and daughter-in-law poured out the two baskets of dark stuff, and walked over curiously.

“Mom, what are you doing?”

 Before Bai Yunxi could open his mouth, Mr. Li spoke enthusiastically.

“My mother said this can be used as fertilizer to improve the soil quality here so that we can sow seeds in the spring next year.”

Bai Anyan looked at his wife's proud expression and turned to look at my mother.

“Is what Li said true?”

　　‘Isn’t this just a rotten leaf? How can it be used as fertilizer? When the time comes, the crop seedlings will also be soaked to death, what will be done? ’

Listening to Bai Anyan's inner voice, Baiyunxi finally understood why people here didn't use rotten leaves as fertilizer. Thinking about it, it was Coke's fault.

Plant green manure is essentially humus and rotten leaves. After being mixed with soil, it will be decomposed quickly.

"Of course it's true. When did Mom lie to you? The book said that black soil is the most fertile. Mom just turned it over, and the soil under the rotten leaves is dark brown. Look at those pine trees, which grow like this all year round. In the soil, there are many branches and lush leaves.”

Baiyunxi pointed to the big tree in the sky not far away,

"Trees can grow, and so can crops. The soil in the wasteland we have created is poor, water-deficient, and dry. Mixing it with pine needle fertilizer will definitely improve the soil quality and allow for a bumper harvest."

Baiyunxi took the opportunity to popularize the benefits of pine needle fertilizer to a few people, so that they could have a psychological understanding.

Pine needles are mixed with soil, sprinkled with water and fermented. It can be soaked into fertilizer in about two months. It is also a pure natural organic fertilizer.

Pine needle fertilizer contains a lot of organic matter and minerals, which can not only improve the soil quality and keep the soil soft, but also prevent diseases and insect pests. This alone is precious enough.

Listening to his mother's narration, Bai Anyan's eyes sparkled.

“Mom, since pine needles are good fertilizer, my son will transport them all down and scatter them in the fields.”

 ‘If nothing else, there are as many pine needles as there are in the mountains and forests. He is worried that now the fertilizer in the fields has fallen. ’

Baiyunxi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Pine needles cannot be used immediately after being transported. They need to be mixed with soil and fertilized. After two or three months, they can become good fertilizer."

"It's okay for two and three months. Get it first and store it in the fields." It's only for two and three months. It doesn't delay the planting in the next spring.

“As long as you know about leaf retting, if the village asks about it, just say that the fertilizer at home is not enough and you can only think of other ways. Don’t talk about the benefits of pine needle fertilizer, so as not to get into trouble.”

She naturally kept a close eye on her own family first when it came to good things, and she had to keep it tight. If the people in the village followed suit and something went wrong in their fields, and they were blamed, they would not be able to explain it even with ten mouths.

“Don’t worry, mother, we won’t tell you.”

After the fishing incident, they all became wary and stayed away from anything that could cause trouble for their family.

"We can't take the initiative in this kind of thing. If they follow suit, it will have nothing to do with us."

Bai Yunxi nodded and continued to transport fertilizer with Ms. Li. After three trips, she was exhausted and kept panting.

“Mom, please drink water and rest for a while. We can do this rough work.”

Bai Anyi handed over a bowl of water, picked up the basket next to her, turned around and walked towards the pine forest.

Bai Yunxi looked at Xiaosi's back, and the corners of his mouth curved. After a few days of getting along, Xiaosi actually changed.

 As expected, the more simple-minded a person is, the easier it is to come back.
