Super Orchard

Chapter 319 Great Development of Zixia Branch Park

A few days later, part of the farmland in the Zixia sub-orchard had been plowed, and the first batch of purchased apple saplings were also transported into the orchard.

The plowed land was left to the employees of the operation department to cultivate, and the employees of the logistics department drove the tractors and began to work on the other part of the land that had not yet been plowed.

Shen Yangguang recruited a total of [-] employees in Zixia Village. So many people are enough to manage the orchard at ordinary times, but there is obviously insufficient manpower during the busy time of planting fruit trees. Therefore, Shen Yangguang recruited employees from the western orchard and the eastern orchard Call them all and plant them together.

Because of the climate, apples that are relatively cold-resistant are one of the few fruit trees planted by the people here in Northeast Province. Therefore, everyone is familiar with apple trees. Working together under the leadership of the staff, there is no problem at all in planting apples.

More than 600 employees worked in an orderly manner under the pre-arranged conditions. They divided labor and cooperated with each other. The speed of planting fruit trees was very fast. Two days later, the first batch of fruit tree seedlings had been planted. At this time, the second batch of fruit saplings was also transported into the orchard.

In addition to a few employees of the security department who were left behind for daily patrols, most of them were also transferred to help plant trees. More than 50 employees of the security department were transferred from the 30-person establishment.

Although this number is not large, with the addition of these young and strong men, the progress of some physical work such as carrying saplings has been significantly accelerated.

Among the 30 employees recruited in Zixia Village, in addition to most of them are employees of the operation department responsible for the daily management of the orchard, there are also 30 employees from the security department who are mainly responsible for the security work of the Zixia branch garden. Together with more than [-] security guards who were transferred, they did work that focused on physical labor.

When the employees began to plant the second batch of apple trees, the workers responsible for installing the drip irrigation system also came to the orchard, and began to install the orchards that had been planted in the first batch to ensure that the fruit trees could be irrigated in time. Before installing these drip irrigation systems, The apple trees can only be irrigated by employees pulling water pipes and using water pumps, which is time-consuming and laborious.

The vast Zixia sub-orchard is divided into two parts, a small part of which is planted with early-maturing apples, and a large part of which is planted with late-maturing apples.

In the middle of these two parts, the rest of the logistics department employees are building rows of houses, because there are only 20 people in the logistics department at this time, and more than a dozen of them are still driving tractors to plow the land, so the few remaining people are just doing There are some preliminary preparations, including driving an excavator to dig out the foundation, and people transporting various construction materials such as bricks, cement, sand, stones, and steel bars.

Although there are only a dozen people driving tractors to plow the land, the progress of plowing the land is much faster than the tree planting team of more than 600 people. Therefore, when many employees began to plant the fourth batch of fruit trees, the rest of the farmland had already been plowed .

After driving more than a dozen tractors back to the western orchard located in Jinquan Valley, these people began to join the construction again. At this time, most of the building materials have been prepared, and these 20 people can just start construction.

These buildings are all one-story square structures, and the project is not very difficult, so there is no need to hire a professional construction team. You Niu Neng and the staff from the logistics department can do it.

The construction site, which includes offices, meeting rooms and staff lounges, is located in the north of the Zixia sub-orchard, just in the middle of the early-ripening apple field and the late-ripening apple field, which is convenient for employees to use.

Next to the office meeting room and lounge, several warehouses are also planned, mainly to store some agricultural tools such as shovels, hoes, shovels, baskets, electric tricycles, etc.

According to Shen Yangguang's plan, after these buildings are built, several medium-sized warehouses will be built on both sides, mainly for the purpose of transporting the picked apples to these warehouses for sorting when the apples are ripe. Picking and packing work.

These projects seem to be a lot, but each building is actually very simple, and it does not take much time to build. Although the logistics department only has 20 people, they can definitely complete the construction of these buildings within half a year, that is, when it snows in autumn Before, the buildings would have been put into use.

In addition to the building, Sunshine Shen also planned some other facilities, including the same compost pool as in the western orchard, because Sunshine strictly requires that his orchards not use any chemical fertilizers, but in order to ensure that the soil is labor-intensive, composting Ponds to ferment natural fertilizers are a must.

The structure of this kind of composting pool is very simple, just dig out cylindrical holes, and then build them up with bricks and cement. It is also very simple to use, and there is no consumption, because the materials for composting are all cut from the orchard. Leaves or weeds that have been removed.

Pruning and weeding are necessary tasks for every agricultural orchard. If these cut branches and leaves are thrown around, they will not only take up space, but also be ugly. Now they are treated uniformly and put into the compost tank for fermentation. It can be said that everything is exhausted Its use is a circular ecological use method without any pollution.

According to the current progress of the project, these composting pools may not be able to be built this year, because this year it is necessary to ensure that the previous buildings can be completed, but it is no problem to wait until next spring to build the composting pool, because the construction speed of this kind of project is faster, one day You can build several of them, and in a short time, all the compost ponds enough for the entire Zixia sub-garden will be built.

At the same time, this year's apple trees are all newly planted, and it is obviously impossible to bloom and bear fruit this year, so the demand for fertilizers is not particularly urgent. Waiting to build a compost pool next year before putting it into use will not delay anything at all .

In this huge new orchard, there is still a long strip of open space near the country road, which is ten meters wide and one kilometer long, and is mainly used as a parking place.

Whether it is agricultural machinery or other vehicles, including logistics transport vehicles, because there are too many of them, if they are all parked on the side of the road when it is time to deliver fruit or perform other work, it is easy to give up the originally not very wide rural roads. Therefore, Shen Yangguang deliberately left these places as the parking lot of the orchard.

Like the compost ponds, these parking lots are not in a hurry to build for the time being, because the solid ground can completely park vehicles, and it can be used as a soil parking lot for the time being.

However, this is only a temporary measure for now. It will not work if it is used for a long time. Especially when it is raining, the wheels roll on the muddy ground and it is easy to roll out wheel marks on the ground, which will affect the use after a long time. Need a dedicated parking lot
