Chapter 173 Fertilizer



It wasn't until seven or eight days later that the fences in the field were finally dug.

Everyone was exhausted during this period. They swung hoes every day, and their shoulders and arms almost felt like they didn't belong to them anymore. Lu Xia felt that each of the educated youth had become much more mature.

However, Cheng Yujiao, who was still recuperating from illness, escaped the disaster. She was very grateful in her heart, especially when she saw Su Man's miserable appearance every day. She was even happier.

It is not time to collect grass for pigs yet, so Su Man cannot find any light work. She can only do the same thing as everyone else, so she will definitely be tired.

But the heroine is worthy of being the heroine. She grits her teeth and perseveres even when she is tired. Although she looks a little embarrassed, it contrasts with her previous temperament and instead has a kind of tired and weak beauty.

This made Gu Xiangnan feel a little distressed, and he would often come to help her after finishing his own tasks.

Of course, Cheng Yujiao at the educated youth point didn't know about these things, and the others were too busy to tell her.

But that day, Lu Xia did not go to dig wild vegetables after work, because most of the wild vegetables in the field had been dug up, and even those that had not been dug up were almost old.

The wild vegetables on the mountain are about to grow, but I have to go to work now and can't go into the mountain. I can only wait until the holiday.

After digging the grates, they started to make compost the next day. Lu Xia and his colleagues were not assigned to the manure composting area, but were assigned to process the grates, which are the corn roots.

...

...

First break these fences, and then mix some mud from the river, dead leaves from the mountains, and soft mountain soil with insects. Then add some water, pile them together, ferment them for a few days, and then spread them on the ground. It can act as fertilizer for the soil.

It is said that these fences were used for burning firewood in the past, but later the land in the village was not fertile enough, so they were used as fertilizer.

However, in the beginning, we would directly burn it into ash and spread it, which also had an effect, but wood ash cannot be used together with farmyard manure, so it is generally used once every other year.

This year, we will first ferment the fence fertilizer and spread it on the ground, and then add manure to make the land more fertile.

But after seeing this operation, Lu Xia felt that it was unnecessary. It would be better not to dig out the sieve before. It was already in the ground, so the absence of the sieve would not have a big impact on the other fermentation products, right?

Of course, she doesn't understand these principles and just does whatever others tell her to do.

After all these are done, it's time for the holiday.

On the day off, Jiang Junmo had planned to go to the town to buy some meat. The Jiang family still had some meat coupons sent over. They hadn't eaten meat for a while, and he was worried that Lu Xia would be tired from working for so long, so he wanted to buy some meat to nourish her.

But Lu Xia had already promised Sun Shengnan in advance that he would go up the mountain with them.

Jiang Junmo knew that the mountains were dangerous and was worried about her going alone, so he had to give up his previous plan and follow her.

However, when they were about to set off, they found that Jiang Junmo was not the only man there. All the educated youth who had nothing to do had gone there.

On the way up the mountain, I heard Zhao Hua sigh: "I depend on this time of year to make a living. I hope I can get more this year and dry more mountain products at that time."

Others echoed, "Yeah, then there will be enough to eat during the winter."

"I have to send more home this year. My family loves this."

"It's the same at my house, but unfortunately they can't eat fresh ones, but the dried ones are good too."

"I don't know if the supply and marketing cooperative's purchase price has increased this year. If it has, I will eat less and sell more."

“It’s probably about the same as last year.”

"That's not bad!"
