Chapter 179 New Method
This is about composting.
As for the problem of cinder improving soil quality.
This has to be implemented in practice, and it will not show results for a while.
Lu Miao didn't say she wanted work points. She only said that if the team supported it, she would lead someone to do it when she had time.
Without reward for work points, the people you bring along to work for free cannot be others, but only your own people.
Lu Miao actually has a little feeling in her heart.
If her participation can change the soil quality and help everyone solve their problems, she will have a certain sense of accomplishment.
I feel that she still has advantages or areas where she shines.
It is not a completely useless vase.
Another one is that He Hongjin is the captain of the production team. The land problem has been improved, the grain income has increased, and he has a bright face.
This is the best of both worlds.
Lu Miao thought well, but for He Hongjin, public is public and private is private.
He would not let Lu Miao take advantage of others, and of course he would not let Lu Miao waste her efforts.
Especially since it is known that there are a lot of people in the team who will not be grateful, so the rewards they deserve are even more deserving!
If you can't see results in the short term, then wait until you see results.
The natives in the team are all rural farmers who have been dealing with the land for half their lives. Even if they are blind, they can feel whether the land is good or bad by grabbing a handful with their hands.
Finally, with the support of several uncles, He Hongjin made the decision. The reward system will remain the same as this time. The specific situation will depend on the actual situation.
They all had no objections, and Lu Miao had no objections even more.
All is said and done.
He Hongjin arranged for another young man to go to the town with Fu Jingyou to pull cinders, while he himself took the young men and gentlemen in the team to the mountains to mine gravel.
Most of the people on the threshing floor had left, and it became quiet for a while.
After a while, Geng Xiaoyun and others gathered around Lu Miao and asked questions:
"Kitten, what are you talking about? Do you have any new ideas?"
>
Lu Miao shook his head: "It's not like I have any new ideas, I just use whatever I have on hand."
This is true.
There are mostly paddy fields in the south, and every time the paddy fields are alternately planted with crops, they are plowed deeply and additional base fertilizer is added.
The fertilizer at this time is mostly organic fertilizer.
Deep plowing and timely filling of organic matter in organic fertilizers can effectively maintain the fertility, breathability, water and fertilizer retention of the land.
If you go to any paddy field and compare it with a mountainous area, you can clearly feel the difference.
The areas that really need to improve their soil quality are those mountainous areas where coarse grains are often grown.
Mountains are prone to compaction, and there are many reasons for soil compaction.
For example, the soil has rarely been deeply cultivated, lacks organic matter, or excessive use of chemical fertilizers has caused physical and chemical imbalances in the soil.
Or the soil pH is too acidic, too alkaline, etc.
All may be the reason.
Learn how to eliminate.
In an era where there is already a shortage of fertilizers, the excessive use of chemical fertilizers is definitely not true.
Then there are only a few remaining points left.
Acids and alkali are chemical changes and hardening, which is a physical phenomenon.
It's just compacted, but still able to grow crops.
This means that there is no need to consider chemical adjustments for the time being, and only consider solving the appearance of "physical phenomena".
Soil is also life, it needs breathing, nutrients and water...
First plow deeply, then add organic nutrients.
With cattle in the team, deep plowing is not difficult. Organic nutrients are organic fertilizers, and the compost currently being made is just that.
Crushed cinders and conventional crushed carbon, even if they are in the form of fine particles, are like volcanic rocks on the inside, with multiple ventilation holes.
The coal residue that has been quenched by the fire is weakly alkaline, and the rainwater in the south is weakly acidic, so the probability of the land becoming acidic will be greater.
If you use cinder in the north, you may need to soak it in water for a day or two. If you use it directly in the south, there will be no big problem, and it can effectively neutralize the soil.
If you don’t mind the trouble, take the cinders and cinders to the ground and mix them with soil.
If you find it troublesome, just add the charcoal residue and cinders directly into the compost pile to serve as auxiliary materials and dry materials for fermentation together.
Just sprinkle it back with the fermented organic fertilizer.
When the soil compaction problem is solved, diverse biological relationships will slowly be established. The most simple and intuitive one is earthworms.
Earthworms cannot drill through the hardened state.
After the hardening problem is solved, earthworms appear and the number of earthworms increases. Earthworm daddy is a good organic fertilizer.
At that time, a self-circulating ecosystem will be formed within the land.
In the future, as long as you keep plowing the land before changing seasons and planting, and supplement organic fertilizer, the soil quality will become better and better.
After all, it is not the kind of land that is heavy on alkali and cannot be harvested. These things are, to put it bluntly, theoretical knowledge.
Farmers at this time had little literacy, let alone book knowledge and scientific theoretical knowledge.
Some problems may be difficult for them.
But for Lu Miao, who has been exposed to new worlds and new things in the future.
As long as you understand the principles, logic, and operation, it's really not that difficult.
Lu Miao thought it was simple and not too difficult, but after she finished explaining the operation theory, the eyes of Geng Xiaoyun and the others started to shine when they looked at her.
Ren Bingxin gave a thumbs up.
Gu Ying patted her on the shoulder and said:
"Everyone has their own strengths, Lu Miao, I have discovered that your diploma and knowledge are really solid, your brain is It turns really fast too.”
What are acids, alkalis, and physical phenomena?
They were all things they had learned in textbooks before. Lu Miao could have thought of it, but they had never thought of it...
Gu Ying even secretly felt that the reason why Lu Miao looked squeamish was because she was not Farming materials, people are born to chew books.
“How can it be that exaggerated?”
Lu Miao was embarrassed by what they said.
"Okay, there is nothing else to do for the time being. Before the next composting, you all should go back and rest today!"
"Haha, okay!"
Geng Xiaoyun and the others laughed. Get ready to go, Lu Miao called Yang Xiaojing again and glared:
"Madaha! Don't be so arrogant next time!"
Yang Xiaojing was confused, "How come I am so arrogant? Still arrogant?"
"Lu Miao was talking about you tearing up the paper. Some things are just words to get to that point, not really meant to be done."
Gu Ying held Yang Xiaojing's arm and smiled and mentioned something. :
"You have to think about it, what if Lu Miao can't write those materials?"
Before, Yang Xiaojing's mind was filled with what Lu Miao said, "No work points."
She just thought that she wouldn’t want it, so as not to be coerced and thankless.
After working so long in vain, he didn't even need any work points, and his waist suddenly became straight and confident. Yang Xiaojing suddenly got angry, but she didn't consider the consequences.
At this moment, being reminded by Gu Ying, Yang Xiaojing reacted, looked at Lu Miao nervously and asked:
"I think I can write something that is almost the same, right?"
Otherwise, she would really have committed a capital crime!
