Open-field strawberries are popular to sell potted strawberries

He Shengbo's potted strawberries.

"more than 200 pots of strawberries have been sold before they are advertised. It seems that the method of potted strawberries is the right one." Recently, in the Venus community in Xinglong Town, Nanchuan, villager he Shengbo was in the greenhouse while managing his potted strawberries while talking to the author about his "new way." In six greenhouses, his tens of thousands of potted strawberries are growing vigorously.

Strawberries in open field are difficult to sell

He Shengbo used to grow vegetables at home with his parents. The year before last, he decided to plant strawberries with more economic benefits.

The land where strawberries were grown used to grow rice. He Shengbo worked deeply and carefully, improved the land and planted more than 20 mu of open-air strawberries.

Hard work in exchange for a bumper harvest, strawberries grow very well, the big seven or eight have a jin.

Strawberries are on the market when they are ripe in March and April. As it was the first harvest and there was no way to sell it, he Shengbo took it to the market and did not sell much. Some people in and around the town have come to pick it themselves, but the quantity is too small.

"A lot of strawberries can't be sold, watching them rot in the ground." In retrospect, he Shengbo is still distressed.

He said that open-air strawberries, unlike greenhouse strawberries, are particularly easy to rot when it rains after ripening. With the temperature getting higher and higher, the harvest can not win, more and more rotten.

Change your way of thinking to solve a difficult problem

Suffering from the difficulty of selling strawberries, he Shengbo thought that only by looking for new "selling points" and breaking through the traditional model could he win by surprise.

He Shengbo began to use his brains to figure out a way. Last year, he found on the Internet that some people planted strawberries in pots and seedlings in small plastic pots, which were both delicious and good-looking, and strawberries became bonsai with both ornamental and edible functions.

So he bought a plastic flower bowl and planted strawberries in the bowl. Then move it into the greenhouse.

He Shengbo said that at present, most strawberry varieties planted are spring fruits and dormant in summer, while potted strawberries, he chooses the variety "Anna" with longer fruit time, so as to improve the ornamental value.

According to reports, in order to ensure the safety of strawberries, the soil used in potted strawberries is also "special" by he Shengbo. He pulls the distiller's grains from the nearby winery to the ground, carries out compost fermentation and other treatments, makes them into natural organic fertilizer, and then puts them in a basin as base fertilizer, so that his potted strawberries do not need chemical fertilizer.

"this year, 10,000 pots of potted strawberries have been planted at 20 yuan a pot, and many tourists have come to buy them." He Shengbo said.

Potted strawberries are popular

According to he Shengbo, citizens have bought potted strawberries, which can be planted on the balcony or on the roof. Let them bask in the sun. If the soil in the basin is dry, they can grow well if they are watered with rice panning water.

This kind of potted strawberry can be planted from December to April, during which strawberries continue to blossom and bear fruit. "not only do the flowers look good, but the fruit is also delicious and sweet. However, this kind of strawberry fruit is relatively 'mini', each pot of strawberries can pick about 1.5 jin of fruit. " He Shengbo said.

Both edible and ornamental, it lasts for a long time, and there are many bright spots of potted strawberries, which are soon favored by the guests.

Now, he Shengbo's more than 10,000 pots of strawberries have blossomed, and some have begun to bear fruit. He Shengbo said that the income per mu of ordinary strawberries can reach 10,000 yuan, while the income of this kind of potted strawberries can reach 40,000 yuan per mu.
