Super Orchard

Chapter 43 Mango
With the conditions of Jinquan Orchard and the golden airflow, Shen Yangguang is not worried that the fruit trees will not survive. The only thing he needs to worry about is the growth of the fruit trees. If the environment such as temperature is not up to standard, it is likely to cause fruit tree production to decrease.

However, Shen Yangguang still wants to give it a try. He believes that even if he can only produce one-tenth of the output of ordinary mango trees, he can still sell a lot of money for its delicious taste. As for losing money, it is basically impossible, unless All fruit trees failed.

The most important thing is that Shen Yangguang has always wanted to grow tropical fruits. It is his dream to own a tropical orchard.

After negotiating over the phone, Shen Yangguang did not go to the Provincial Research Institute to check the fruit saplings on site, but asked Zhao Chunqiu to help contact the big truck to transport the saplings directly. firm's account.

The reason why he bought [-] saplings was also calculated by Shen Yangguang. The plant distance of ordinary mango trees is about five meters wide and six meters long. This dwarf mango only needs to be four meters wide and four meters long. The land is about sixteen square meters.

The length and width of the new greenhouse are the same as before, which is 50 meters by 200 meters, totaling 620 square meters, and [-] five fruit trees can be planted. Excluding the supports and other places in the shed, about [-] trees can be planted.

As for the survival rate, with the golden air current, as long as the fruit trees themselves are fine, Shen Yangguang can guarantee that the survival rate of this batch of saplings will reach [-]%.

At this time, the picking of strawberries has come to an end, and the workload has been greatly reduced. Shen Yangguang arranged for the employees of the business department to continue to be responsible for various tasks in the strawberry garden, and the employees of the engineering department started digging holes in the newly built greenhouse with shovels on their shoulders.

Planting mango trees is different from planting strawberry wild grapes. There is no need to make furrows. You only need to dig holes in the ground and plant mango trees in them.

Shen Guangguang and several workers pulled wires on the land, and then used iron rods to draw out a grid, each grid was four meters long and wide, and then dug holes at the intersections of the grids, because the roots of mango trees It is relatively deep, so each pothole was dug more than half a meter deep.

At this time, the workers of the greenhouse factory are also busy with construction. The two tasks are carried out at the same time without delaying each other. The weather is just right, neither hot nor cold, and it is very comfortable to work.

At the same time, Shen Yangguang recruited a drilling team and started digging holes in the middle of the new shed. He had heard that the underground of this valley was full of hot springs. The village had experimented with it before, and spring water could emerge from just a few digs.

If the spring can still be dug here, watering the mango trees will be much easier in the future. If it can’t be dug out, there is no big problem, just extend another pipe to the drip irrigation system of the strawberry garden.

This drilling team is just an ordinary rural team, consisting of a small truck, a drilling truck and three people. The small truck drove directly to the orchard. After the drilling truck was unloaded, it drove to the field on its own tracks to start drilling.

The drilling process is also very simple. The long cylindrical steel pipes are directly smashed into the ground, rotating while smashing, and at the same time introducing a large amount of water to flush out the mud. As the drilling gets deeper and deeper, one after another The steel pipes were connected continuously, and tens of meters were drilled in one or two hours.

Next came the rock layer, and the drilling truck was replaced with another type of drill bit, and slowly penetrated down the rock layer. Fortunately, the rock layer was not thick, and there was hot spring water flowing in it, and a large amount of spring water emerged soon .

The next step is to fix the spring hole in the final step. The drilling team then lowered a plastic pipe with a larger diameter into the hole to connect the spring hole directly to the rock layer, so as to prevent the surrounding soil from sinking and blocking the spring hole.

Next, Shen Yangguang led the staff of the engineering department to dig a small ditch, which was the same size as the one in the strawberry garden. At the same time, it was connected to the previous ditch at the end to form a 400-meter-long concrete river to facilitate the discharge of excess spring water. The valley, so as not to flood the fields and get mud everywhere.

In less than ten days, the construction of a new greenhouse was completed, the small ditches were completely built, and [-] tree pits were dug. Shen Yangguang contacted Zhao Chunqiu again, and the mango trees were transported to the orchard the next day. .

A total of [-] mango saplings are piled up on the side of the road. There is a pile of soil at the root of each sapling, and a layer of plastic film is wrapped around the outside to prevent the soil from falling off.

The saplings were transported to each pothole with a walking tractor. Shen Guangguang and five workers were divided into three groups, and two people in each group planted the saplings together.

First, remove the wrapped plastic film, and then put it into the hole together with the roots and soil. One person supports the sapling to prevent it from tilting, and the other uses a shovel to backfill the excavated soil and cover the roots. .

Due to the existence of tree roots and related soil, and the softness of the backfilled soil, a small soil bag was bulged under each fruit tree. Use a shovel to draw a few times on the small soil bag, and arrange it into a high-peripheral high-inner Earth's small ring.

Since the drip irrigation system has not been installed yet, fruit trees need to be watered manually when they are planted. Carrying a bucket, fill the small pond dug near the middle spring with water, and pour a small half of the water into the small ring under each tree. Can.

Planting saplings is not tiring, but fetching water for irrigation. A bucket of water can only irrigate three trees. So many fruit trees need two hundred buckets of water, which is still the amount of watering in a day.

When the fruit trees were just planted, because the roots were exposed to the new environment and could not absorb enough water, they needed to be watered every day to ensure the survival of the fruit trees. Of course, every fruit tree sunk into a golden airflow.

After all the saplings were planted, Shen Yangguang contacted the distributor of the drip irrigation system to install the same drip irrigation system as the strawberry garden.

Although the total area of ​​the two greenhouses is the same, due to the difference in planting density, the mango tree is less than one-tenth of that of the wild grape. a lot of money.

It also took only one day to install the drip irrigation system. It was already mid-May, and the annual spring plowing season came again.

Most of the migrant workers in the village have returned and are busy with plowing the fields, watering water and planting rice seedlings. The employees in the orchard are also on vacation to go back to the busy farming season. Fortunately, the strawberries have gone out of business, the mango trees have been planted, and the drip irrigation system has been activated. You only need to press the switch to water every day, and there is nothing too busy.

Shen Yangguang's family also has more than ten acres of land. He didn't plan to give it to his uncle's house after he got it back, so he hired a few people to help transplant rice seedlings and grow rice.

Although this amount of rice doesn't make much money, it is enough for him to eat for a year. Shen Yangguang has always believed that eating the rice grown by himself is much healthier than the refined rice he bought.

When the village is busy, the orchard is quite empty. Apart from the caretaker Liu Dihua who stays here all day, Shen Yangguang also arranges for each employee to be on duty for a day. It's the day's turn.

You don't need to do anything when you are on duty, you just need to patrol back and forth, and if you find any problems, you can contact them immediately.

At this time, Shen Yangguang was also completely free, and began to think about moving the sparrow.

Now the number of sparrows in the strawberry garden has reached more than 20, and there are five sparrow nests.This kind of reproduction speed made Shen Yangguang exclaimed.

After living in harmony for more than half a year, I don't know if it's because of the golden airflow, or because no one has hurt them on purpose. These sparrows are not afraid of people at all, and sometimes they will land on the workers' shoulders to play.

Shen Yangguang took the branches and leaves to re-weave a bird's nest and put it in the mango greenhouse. Then he picked up a nest of sparrows and prepared to put them inside.

Although the sparrows were not afraid of people, and Shen Yangguang didn't care if he carried them, but when Shen Yangguang walked out of the shed, all the sparrows in the nest flew up, turned around and flew into the strawberry garden.

Shen Yangguang had tried several times in a row with the same result, so he had no choice but to give up. None of these sparrows were willing to leave the strawberry garden now.

After sunset, all the sparrows returned to their nests to rest. Shen Yangguang brought the small net to the strawberry garden, covered the sparrows' nest with the small net, and walked out again with the sparrow family.

A few fat and silly sparrows didn't react when they saw their whole family was covered by the net. It wasn't until Shen Yangguang walked out of the shed that the silly sparrows wanted to flap their wings and fly, but they couldn't fly out because of the net bag covering their heads.

After fixing the nest of sparrows in the mango orchard, Shen Yangguang took off the net bag, and the sparrows in the nest flew up instantly, as if they wanted to go back to their hometown.

Not long after, these little guys seemed to find that the environment here was similar to before, the air was filled with rich vitality, they flew for a while and then stopped, staying quietly in the nest to sleep, Shen Yangguang then left with peace of mind .
