Chapter 521 Arched Shed Raising Seedlings

   In order to facilitate the transplanting at that time, Xiao Changyi and An Jing chose the seedbed in the middle of the two acres of mountains.

   Once the location of the seedbed was determined, the size of the seedbed was determined, and Quiet made a rough estimate of the size, and then asked Xiao Changyi to draw out the size of the seedbed.

  The position and size of the seedbed were determined, and Jingjing asked Xiao Changyi to sprinkle a layer of grass and tree ash on the seedbed.

  This seedbed is too barren, and there is no chemical fertilizer here. In order to make the land more fertile, we can only use some plant ash as fertilizer.

   And as soon as the ash was sprinkled, Quiet let Xiao Changyi pour a little water on it.

After watering, An Jing asked Xiao Changyi to turn the soil over the seedbed with a hoe, so that the plant ash could penetrate more into the seedbed. At the same time, it was also considered to loosen the soil for the seedbed, so as to avoid the time to use the nutrient bowl. The ground was so hard that it was impossible to make a nutrition bowl at all.

   After the soil is turned well, sprinkle a little plant ash, water a little, and finally, cover the seedbed with oil cloth.

   After a few days, lift off the tarpaulin, pour a little more water, and cover with the tarpaulin.

   After a few days, the tarpaulin was opened again, watered again, and then covered with the tarpaulin.

  On March 11th, Xiao Changyi lifted the tarpaulin, quietly looked at the condition of the seedling bed, and determined that the soil was suitable for the nutrition bowl, so Xiao Changyi used the bowl mixer to make the nutrition bowl.

  The bowl beater was pressed firmly into the seedbed, and then, the bowl beater was picked up again, and as soon as the foot stepped on the push rod on the bowl beater, the soil nutrition bowl in the bowl beater was pushed out.

   The nutrition bowl is a cylinder, which is a bit like a modern can, and the height is similar. There is a small hole in the middle of the cylinder, and the small hole is used to put cottonseeds.

   When Xiao Changyi was playing the nutrition bowl, An Jing watched from the side. If he found something wrong, he would inform Xiao Changyi in time.

   Afraid of An Jing standing hard, when Xiao Changyi and An Jing came to the field together, they brought a chair out, so that An Jing would sit down if he was tired from standing.

   Xiao Changyi laid the nutrition bowls one by one under the quiet guidance, and then placed cottonseeds in the small holes of each nutrition bowl.

  Cottonseeds are all pre-selected cottonseeds, and a cottonseed is placed in each hole.

  After the cottonseeds were put away, Xiao Changyi sprinkled a layer of soil on the nutrition bowl, mainly to cover the cottonseeds, so that the cottonseeds could sprout and take root faster.

After   , under the guidance of Quiet, Xiao Changyi inserted the bow made of bamboo strips; then, the oilcloth was placed on the bow, the edge of the oilcloth was covered with soil, and the nutrition bowl was all under the oilcloth.

  The tarpaulin is colored and opaque, so Quiet cannot see the nutrition bowl inside, so Quiet can only look at the small arched shed made of tarpaulin.

   only heard Jing Jing smile: "Xianggong, this way, not only can the cottonseeds germinate faster, but even if it rains heavily, we are not afraid that the rain will discount the seedlings."

   Now this is an arch shed made of tarpaulin, but if it is a transparent plastic arch shed, the effect will be better, and here, there is no transparent plastic at all, only tarpaulin can be used instead.

Xiao Changyi is not a modern person. Even if Jingjing told him the principle of raising seedlings in an arched shed, he actually doesn't understand it very well, especially what photosynthesis and carbon dioxide are, but it doesn't matter whether he understands this principle or not, as long as he knows the benefits to make.

   "Let's go back." That's what Xiao Changyi said when he opened his mouth.

  Everything is done, just wait for the cottonseeds to grow into seedlings, there is no need to stay in the ground.
