Chapter 343: Inspecting the Glass Greenhouse of the Vegetable Base
At the Tonghezi Village vegetable base, Li Youran and Li Shuanzhu inspected the newly completed glass greenhouse together.
The height of the greenhouse is five meters and the span is 12 meters. The lower part is a steel frame foundation, and the upper part is made of aluminum alloy, which is distributed in an arch shape. Sunlight penetrates through the brand-new colorful insulating glass, illuminating a green patch of land on the ground.
The vegetable field is warm, giving people a feeling of spring.
The water reservoir was included, the drip irrigation equipment was adjusted, and the pipelines were re-laid. In addition, ordinary water sprinkler systems, automatic roller shutter shading systems, ventilation systems, heating equipment, lighting equipment, etc. were added later.
A scene of a modern farm appears in front of you.
Li Youran looked around and felt very satisfied. This was the production-oriented Four Seasons Farm he imagined, efficient, automated, and clean. Unfortunately, funds were limited and he spent over one million yuan to build two glass greenhouses, totaling two acres of land.
.In other places, we can only use film moso bamboo greenhouses.
Film greenhouses can also be used, but they are more troublesome. You have to open the straw curtains during the day to let in the light, and put them down at night for insulation.
"The service life of the greenhouse is fifteen years, and all components can be disassembled, so that if you change the location in the future, you can dismantle it and take it away," Li Shuanzhu said.
Li Youran nodded. This was his requirement for the manufacturer to be able to disassemble easily. After all, Tonghezi Village is not his hometown. In case of any disputes in the future, he must take precautions. If necessary, these belongings can be dismantled and continued to be used.
The loss will not be too great.
"Shitou'er, try turning on the fan." Li Shuanzhu shouted to Shitou'er near the console. He looked very energetic. Looking at such an advanced farm made him feel energetic.
"Okay!" Shitou'er agreed and pressed the fan switch.
As the low whine of the motor sounded, the axial fan at the end of the glass greenhouse began to rotate, and soon drove an air flow.
Li Youran knows that the closed indoor environment is different from the outside, which can easily cause problems such as excessive air humidity and affect the growth of crops. Therefore, a ventilation system is essential.
"Okay, turn it off. Then close the sunshade." Li Shuanzhu gave the second order and continued to demonstrate to the boss.
Shitou'er turned off the fan and started the sunshade opening and closing system.
I saw the folding sunshades on the roof slowly moving from both sides to the middle, making a swishing sound. The indoor ground was shrouded in shadow. As an indoor four-season farm, a sunshade system is naturally necessary, especially in summer, when the sun is fierce. There are
This system can be adjusted very well and can also significantly save irrigation water.
Unexpectedly, when the sunshade was halfway through, a mechanical failure occurred and stopped.
"Shitou'er, what are you doing!" Li Shuanzhu was immediately annoyed. If you lose your temper in front of your boss, wouldn't that embarrass him?
"Brother Shuan Zhu, I'm sorry, I pressed it too fast. The transmission rack is stuck." Shitou'er said apologetically.
"Didn't the manufacturer's engineers give you training? You won't pay attention to it at first sight, and you will be confused all day long. You don't know what is going on in your mind. Let's solve it quickly." Li Shuanzhu scolded with a straight face.
"Brother Shuan Zhu, don't worry. This kind of highly automated thing is bound to have some malfunctions. If so, don't be too harsh on a few young men. Everyone who is new to this kind of thing has a process of adapting." Li Youran
He quickly tried to persuade him.
Shitou'er hurriedly ran out to find Shunzi, and the two tinkered with it for a while. The fault was finally eliminated, and the sunshade closed smoothly in the center of the roof.
Li Shuanzhu snorted softly, and his expression slowly returned to normal.
"That's right, by the way, the proportion of irrigation water should remain the same and don't change it at will." Li Youran looked at the drip irrigation pipes in the field and reminded the other party.
"Of course I know this. The drip irrigation system still uses all underground spring water, and the rest uses outside river water to undergo sedimentation, filtration, and enter the sprinkler system." Li Shuanzhu replied. At the same time, Shitou'er and Shunzi demonstrated the automatic sprinkler.
After seeing it, Li Youran continued walking along the field ridge, and two fat forest frogs jumped away not far away.
"Oh, these little things have found a new home." As he said this, he searched for the forest frogs in the field, and soon found a few more. They were not small in size. They seemed to have no worries about food and clothing and were living a small life.
Not bad.
"Yes, we brought these little guys here specially. We will probably breed a batch in the spring next year. I heard that the meat of the forest frogs is very tender. Our four wild boys have been thinking about it." Li Shuanzhu said with a smile.
"Haha, okay, when there are more quantities next year, we can catch a batch and serve it to the table so that everyone can satisfy their cravings. In fact, these things must be controlled in a suitable scale, too much is not good. Remember to notify us then
Let me know." Li Youran smiled and approved the plan.
The two of them walked forward together again.
"It's a pity that the space is too limited. I will build a few more in the future when funds are sufficient." Li Youran said with some emotion. The things are good, but the price is not low.
"Of course, actually, at this scale, there are ways to increase production." Li Shuanzhu thought for a moment and said.
"Oh, what else can I do?" Li Youran was very interested when he heard this.
"Greenhouse planting is different from open-air planting. Although the cost is high and every inch of land is precious, there are actually many places that can be used. I went to learn about the practices of some other greenhouse farms, and now many places have begun to adopt the three-dimensional planting method.
Li Shuanzhu introduced that he has been thinking about this issue for a while.
"I think I've heard of three-dimensional planting. It's similar to field interplanting in my hometown."
"This is not the same. Interplanted crops have different growth periods and cannot be harvested at the same time. Three-dimensional planting uses the different requirements of crops for sunlight, water, and height to carry out matching planting. Different crops can be cultivated and planted at the same time.
Harvest. For example, if you put cucumbers, loofahs, cowpeas and other pergola crops on top of the greenhouse frame, you can make room below to grow low crops such as peppers and cabbage. I have already thought about such a large glass
The greenhouse cannot be used just for raising seedlings, that would be too wasteful." Li Shuanzhu introduced.
Li Youran understood immediately after hearing this. This was a good way to maximize the use of the greenhouse space and increase the yield per acre. In addition, you can also consider setting up multi-layer planting in certain locations, which is much better than a single plane. Of course
, the lighting problem must be solved first.
The two chatted about this topic and analyzed and discussed what other areas in the greenhouse could be effectively used.
After coming out of the glass greenhouse, I saw the simple film bamboo greenhouses in other vegetable fields outside. The contrast between the two was too strong.
Wait, sooner or later, all of his vegetable bases will be built into modern farms. Li Youran thought to himself.
