Nitrogen fertilizer plays a great role in plant germination, and potash fertilizer should be applied in the second harvest to lay a good foundation for plant germination in the coming year.

3. Harvest and processing

If it is harvested for consumption from March to May every year, if it is not for food but for medicine, it only needs to be harvested once a year, and the harvest time is from September to October. If it is used for processing into a drink, you can cut the whole grass flat with a sickle, then wash it and set aside.
