Planting taro has very strict requirements on land conditions!

Let's talk about the soil first. It must be deep and fertile. Only in this way can the taro be continuously supplied with enough nutrients for its healthy growth, so that it can absorb and develop as much as it can, and thus grow big and strong. If the soil is poor and shallow, the taro will be like a malnourished child. How can we expect it to bear abundant and pleasing fruits?

Furthermore, the air permeability of the soil is also crucial! Good air permeability ensures that the taro roots can "breathe" smoothly and stretch freely. Imagine that if the soil is too tight and airtight, the taro roots will be like a person with his mouth and nose covered, unable to get oxygen freely, which will inevitably affect the health of the entire plant over time.

Finally, we have to mention drainage performance. Taro is particularly afraid of waterlogging! Once there is too much water in the soil, the roots of the taro will easily rot. This is like soaking a person's feet in water for a long time. If the roots are damaged, the normal growth and final yield of the taro will be greatly reduced. Therefore, land with excellent drainage performance is the ideal choice for growing taro.

In fact, Xiao Cao'er had already told Qi Xingyun all the problems and details about taro planting.

Judging from Qi Xingyun's usual vigorous and decisive style of action, he must have already arranged everything properly.

So Xiao Caoer asked this question at this moment just to find a random topic to chat about.

Hearing Xiaocao'er's question, Qi Xingyun smiled slightly and replied in a steady tone: "Well, everything has been arranged. We can start sowing in the spring." His voice was not loud, but it revealed a reassuring power.

At this time, Zheng Huaming on the side suddenly said: "I also have a farm. If the number of taro plants is large enough, you might as well bring some to my place to plant them." As he said this, he showed Qi Xingyun a simple smile.

However, upon hearing this, Qi Xingyun glanced at Zheng Huaming slightly, as if questioning him: This is a brand new kind of grain, and it is the first time we are trying to plant it. How many seeds can we have?

Do you think my farm can't even accommodate such a small amount of taro seeds? Although Qi Xingyun didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Xiao Cao'er knew very well what Zheng Huaming meant. After all, this would be the first planting attempt next year, and the quantity was still small.

In this case, it is still an unknown whether it can be truly promoted on a large scale and planted widely. No one can say for sure how long we have to wait.

"Actually, we can try to grow two seasons! The first season usually starts with sowing around February, and then the harvest can be made around August; then the second season, you can start planting right after the first harvest, which is probably around August, and finally you can harvest the results from December to January of the following year. Why don't we try it according to this time plan?" Xiao Caoer suggested with a smile.

"Okay, no problem! When the time comes, I will naturally pass on the relevant instructions." Qi Xingyun nodded readily in response.

Xiao Caoer then added: "Also, you must not be careless about the fertility of the land! You have to make compost according to the method I mentioned before, or you can collect some night-scented osmanthus as fertilizer. Of course, for issues like this that involve farming experience, those experienced farmers are definitely better than me, so let them decide how to deal with it based on the actual situation."

Speaking of the method of making compost, Xiao Cao'er not only taught it to the people in Qingshan Village, but also taught it to Qi Xingyun without reservation.

As long as it is beneficial to the people and can bring benefits, he always spares no effort to promote it. Today, this method of composting has been widely used.

"There aren't many taro plants, and my own farm isn't enough. You'll have to wait until next year." Qi Xingyun shook her head helplessly and said to Zheng Huaming. She was also a little worried, because the taro yield this year was not high, and her own farm had to be careful to make enough.

After hearing this, Zheng Huaming showed a little disappointment on his face, but he soon regained his smile: "Okay, okay, okay, can you give me a few to take back and cook?" He thought, since the planted taro could not be obtained for the time being, it would be a good choice to get some ready-made ones to try.

Seeing this, Xiao Caoer turned around and walked towards the backyard. Not long after, she came back with a few taro in her hand. These taro were of different sizes, some were round like a small ball, and some were long and thin. She handed the taro to Zheng Huaming and said with a smile: "Here, take these and eat them however you want."

Zheng Huaming took the taro and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around, looked at Xiao Cao'er with a smile and asked, "Sister, don't you have other ways to cook potatoes? Give me a few more!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cao couldn't help but roll her eyes and replied unhappily: "What are you thinking about? It's hard to come up with one more, let alone a few more? Why don't you just be a potato and do whatever you want." After saying that, she waved her hands and signaled Zheng Huaming to leave quickly.
