A lot of people grow watermelons without a variety, and they're running them too rough. One of the villagers in the village of wenchuan new bridge used poker cards to mark the date of the date, left a single melon for a seedling, and earned 20,000 for two seasons in 400 flat sheds, a method that is more useful than 10 planting technology videos。
It's only half the power of choice
Suh chang yong planted watermelons in the shed for the first time last year, choosing the kind of sweet kings called out to the market. The biggest one grows to 15 pounds, comes to the market as soon as it matures, comes from the right side of the house and from the circle of friends. This year, he went straight to buy 320 sweet baby seedlings and plant them。
Sweet kings are thin, red, sweet and well-known to consumers. In wenchuan, there is sufficient digestive capacity for fruit stalls and familiar circles to travel hundreds of kilometres to wholesale markets and save long-distance transport and middlemen points. Every point saved is net profit and sales are more critical than production。
One seed, one melon
Suh chang yong's rules are very dead: three saplings, ten leaves of each watermelon, and only one smelt after pollination, the rest of it is strangled. It's a distance-learning method for relatives who grow watermelons far from gansu, and feed them all to a melon, so that the melon can grow to 15 pounds, the skin is so sweet that it won't change last year。
If greedy, each of them is small, no sweetness, difference in sales, bad taste, and direct market pressure. The unit price would have doubled and the sum would have been more profitable. His test experience last year was one thing: quantity gives way to quality, taste is hard。
Poker pollination day
Powdered on june 3, and by june 19, the melon was already football size. Seo chang-yong put poker cards on each seedling with a date for pollination, and one day it should be picked and sold, and the sign will know, without having to guess. It's dark in the shed, it's easy to miscalculate the size of the melon, it's easy to flip the brand and it's not easy to confuse the new guy。
320 seedlings are growing at the same time and pollination batches vary, with a seven or eight-day delay in maturity. Without a mark, it's not sweet to pick it early, and it's late for cracks. A card costs less than a dime, but it makes management change from "experienced" to "date." the speed of delivery is steady, and clients know when to pick it up。
It's not hormonal
The bottom manure pulls sheep's manure and does not spread fertilizer. Biological formulations are used to protect against pests, and pesticide quantities are applied to death. And he said repeatedly to those who came to pick the melons, "no, the melons have time to slowly save sugar, not sweets from oxytocin." wenchuan is high above sea level, and the temperature is very different day and night, and the stupid approach here is good。
Local consumers are sensitive to these gates, and one bite knows whether they are natural or catalytic. It's better to look back, and the neighbors turn around and introduce their friends to buy it without spending hundreds of dollars on advertising, the most expensive marketing. The growers just keep their quality safe and sell themselves, more than anything。
400 flats for the economy
320 seedlings, each with a minimum of 15 pounds and a maximum of 20 pounds, yielding about 4,500 pounds. At a trade rate of 3. 5 pounds last year, watermelons alone earned $15,000 a season. Combined with the harvest of the first season of the sheep’s belly, the 0. 5-acre sheds combined amount to approximately $20,000 for the two seasons, which is slightly higher than the income of individual sheds’ vegetables, and full land use。
This year, he has an additional plan: to take the watermelon and throw it away, to cultivate a season for three seasons of output. If it runs, the income can go up another step. The model of "a bouquet of diversity" is also seen in the village, where plans are made to expand the variety and size of the following species, and to remove the limited dam from more productive areas than to walk on a single leg of watermelon。
From one test seed to the whole village
New hashi village dam is a narrow area, with 400 flat sheds being built last year by the provincial forest grass office counterpart to pilot a "manufacturing set" of sheep belly, watermelon and vegetables. The first secretary of the village said that when the test seed ran, it was distributed to the entire village, so that every household could go to the shed. The village's collective economic assets now exceed 20 million, and parking lots and new energy 4s stores are also functioning。
The watermelon shed is the smallest project in the village, but it is the starting point for industrial restructuring. On four questions: "who will catch, where the money will come from, where the money will go, how will we manage?" the village council walked out of the way. There's still more to be pushed in the back. This small shed is just halfway through the road。
