Lu Aijun, a villager in the coastal economic development zone, has transferred 60 mu of land He doesn't grow grain, fruits and vegetables, and specializes in honeysuckle Talking about the reasons for choosing to plant honeysuckle, Lu Aijun said: "honeysuckle is a good medicine with the functions of clearing away heat and detoxification, and has a broad sales prospect At present, the honeysuckle market in Rudong is relatively blank, so I want to plant honeysuckle and develop a new market " After the idea of planting honeysuckle took root in his brain, he immediately put it into action and began to actively seek land for large-scale honeysuckle planting, and finally focused on the gu'ao village with less environmental pollution Lu Aijun told reporters: "honeysuckle is very delicate It must grow in a place without pollution." At the beginning of planting, Lu Aijun, a layman, went to a large planting household in Liuhe, Nanjing to visit its honeysuckle planting base, and humbly asked for its planting methods and precautions After that, I went to the small honeysuckle planting households around Rudong to observe and learn, and gained a lot of experience I thought that as long as I was fully prepared, the road would be smooth However, Lu Aijun found that planting honeysuckle was more complicated than he expected after he actually planted it Honeysuckle is a shrub plant, which must be climbed by trees Lu Aijun specially planted a large number of trees in the field for honeysuckle growth At the beginning of planting in November 2014, everything went well without any problems However, after the spring of 2015, the problems gradually appeared The distance between trees was too large, resulting in overgrown weeds in the field Honeysuckle has its particularity When it grows, it can't use herbicide and so on It can only be weeded by manual pulling A lot of weeds cost a lot of labor He calculated that last year he spent nearly ten thousand yuan on weeding alone Next, Lu plans to plant more trees in the field to reduce tree spacing and weed living space At the same time, we should raise grass chickens in the field to create an ecological cycle and increase economic income Lu Aijun told reporters that after the next harvest of honeysuckle, he would send the flowers to his friend's processing factory for research and development of honeysuckle wine, honeysuckle drinks and honeysuckle tea Later, he will take the honeysuckle planting field as the base, carry out deep processing, and produce and sell by himself.
