Ten years ago, all the old tea trees were cut down for steelmaking and the land was used to grow crops.
But without the tangled roots of the big trees, the nutrients in the soil have been severely lost, and now nothing you plant will grow well.
They have been planting tea trees in that mountain for five years, but they have never grown.
Fortunately, there are still some decades-old tea trees in the mountains that can be used to grow seedlings, otherwise, he would have even more headaches.
Everyone in the room fell silent, all lamenting the deforestation.
Chen Tan lowered his head and ate the food in the bowl silently. The book said that there were tens of thousands of acres of tea mountains, but the fertilizer was not enough. The tea seedlings could not grow, but the grass grew fast.
More than 300 people on the tea mountain farm spend almost every day weeding and composting in the tea trees.
Little did they know that the more they weeded, the more serious the land erosion became, which eventually led to the mudslide disaster the next year.
Xie Junqian ate a fish ball and suggested, "Then we should move the farm to the tea mountain. The manure from the livestock is better than grass manure, and it will save the good stuff from being wasted."
Fang Desheng shook his head in disapproval. "Tea is just a sideline business after all. Food is the foundation. I can't let the members go hungry just for the sake of the tea plantation."

It seems that Grandpa Xie also knows about Yang Xueyan and Gong Dasong.
