Section 398

After standing up, Lu Yu flipped the bamboo pole on the ground twice:

"With plant ash, the nutrient availability of acidic soil will not only be greatly improved, but the soil will also become more fertile."

"Now is definitely the best time to start a ridge."

Ridge, also called ridge.

The purpose is to make crops grow better.

thereby increasing production.

According to different cultivation conditions, ridges can be divided into small ridge single row, large ridge double row, large ridge single row and other forms.

But for crops like cassava, there are no special requirements for making ridges.

Just plant seedlings in a single row per ridge.

"After burning the wasteland, the most important thing is planting - ridging."

"To put it more exaggeratedly, it will even directly determine the yield of cassava."

"Riding has many benefits. It allows crops to receive more light and promotes root growth and development. These are very important for root crops. If there is abundant rainfall, the maturity period will be greatly shortened. "

Normally, the sowing season for cassava is mostly in January and February.

So now is a good time.

However, the variety of cassava found is unknown.

What is the growth habit of this crop?

Lu Yu didn't know either.

We can only try.

As he spoke, he picked up the stone ax and came to one end of the farmland.

I turned over it first.

Then he plowed a deep furrow in the field along a straight line.

Next, measure the distance.

Still the same operation.

Two ravines are one ridge.

At that time, all you need to do is plant the cassava stems on top.

Based on the area of ​​farmland, it should not be difficult to build six or seven ridges on this land.

One after another.

Lu Yu held the stone ax in his hand and bowed.

After a while, the farmland took on a new look, with seven ridges of land growing up.

Take a closer look.

Even spacing between ridges

About ten centimeters.

It looks very neat.

Of course.

The shortcomings are also obvious.

Since there is no hoe handy, the ridges are of varying depths.

The wiring is not straight either.

However, it is not easy to do this under limited conditions.

Maybe it doesn't look that professional.

But as long as it can bear fruit and achieve the goal, it really doesn't matter whether you are professional or not.

After all, the belly is the most important thing.

No matter how beautiful the ridges are, it is useless if they cannot grow anything.

"6666!"

"Can't you tell that the anchor is actually a good farmer?"

"How awesome TMN is!"

“A sense of déjà vu in the farming game!”

"It's amazing. Without two brushes, I can't handle this at all. The anchor is a person with a story!"

"Feather God: They are all forced by life~"

After the farmland is completed, the official cultivation begins.

The cultivation method is very simple.

Roughly two steps.

1. Cut the seed stems.

Second, insert it into the ridge.

Nothing seems difficult.

But in fact, it is not the case.

There are still many things to pay attention to during the planting process.

Selection of stems, cuttings, drainage and irrigation, post-protection, etc. all require some thought.

If one step is not done properly, an accident may occur.

…

Rested for a while.

Lu Yu picked out a few branches about thirty centimeters long from the firewood pile.

Then, following the marks made in advance, he found the tree and checked the growth status of the cassava.

A few days.

The root mass hasn't changed much.

The surrounding stones are still intact.

No trace of damage.

"Fortunately...it seems that no one on the entire island is interested in this thing except me."

As he spoke, Lu Yu squatted down and selected a few rhizomes with more buds.

Then, prepare the wooden sticks first.

Then use the bevel of a stone knife to cut off the rhizomes.

The length of the seed stem should be about 15 centimeters.

Too long or too short is not conducive to cultivation.

After cutting it off, the seed stem was obtained.

Lu Yu gently wrapped the new stems and leaves around the stick and explained softly:

"When selecting stems, try to choose parts with more buds to ensure the survival rate."

"Then, like me, wrap them round and round on the stick and fix them completely... In this way, you will have a seed stem..."

At this time, someone in the live broadcast room asked what the wooden stick was used for.

Lu Yu said:

"Wooden sticks can support fragile stems and create a good growing environment for them."

"This thing can be removed after the cuttings are completely rooted."

"In fact, this method is used not just for cassava but for many crops."

In the barrage, after a 666, Lu Yu continued with his head buried in his head.

Back and forth.

Using this seed collection method, he collected five or six rhizomes with buds on the cassava in a short time.

The maturity of the stems is acceptable.

The surface is emerald green.

The distance between root nodes also meets the standard.

The stem bark is relatively complete.

Full of moisture.

If you really plant it, it will take root very quickly.

…

Theoretically, with three or four mature cassava plants, you can get a lot of stems.

At least planting the entire vegetable garden won’t be a problem.

However, you can’t choose too many at once.

First, select a few to try.

If it is possible, it is not too late to plant in batches.

After a long while, Lu Yu returned along the way after selecting the seed stems.

Came to the vegetable garden.

"If you want to grow cassava, selecting stems is the first step, and it is also a very important step."

"Everyone should have heard of the saying that the roots are pure and the seedlings are red. Yes, that's the truth. The quality of the seed stems is directly related to the subsequent growth of cassava. If we don't want to continue to starve, we'd better be cautious."
