Remember the joy of eating while carrying sugar cane on the side of the road? Actually, we can grow it ourselves! For the first time this year, i tried a water-green sugar cane, ranging from “no idea” to “a little heart”, crawling around and gaining real experience. Today's day is full, and you'll do it

Core point: remember these five points. New hand cane is not lost
1. Cane selections, 50% success
Here's the key point: the green sugar cane sold on the fruit stand is ripe, the buds are basically “sleeping dead” and planting will only rot. We have to use a special cane. Cut it down and leave two or three buds in each。
When it comes to buying cane, i started to get upset -- where did it go? Then we find out that one of the most powerful treasures can be taken care of, pick out the good sellers, and see if there's a high budding rate. It's also a good way to share the farm market or to find a local-cultivated vegetable
The timing must be steady and spring warm
Don't worry! Wait till march-april, the temperature stabilizes at more than 15°c. It's too early to be cold, and the sugar cane breeds do not like to germinate, but are prone to rot。
3. Places are not chosen, but soil is loose and light
You don't have to take the plot, you get the bright side of the garden. The key is for soil to be loosed (if slabs, some sand or improved leaves). Remember: sugar cane is afraid of flooding, with a small pickle raised to ensure that the rain does not accumulate。
4. Sweetness and fertilization
In the preceding period, when it is as long as half a person, the strategy will have to be adjusted: to stop nitrogen fertilizer (e. G. Urea) and to replace it with grasswood ash or potassium sulphate (a few dollars a pack at the farm store, which is cheap), which is the "sweet code". A month before maturity, the control of watering the soil to dry up allows for a steady accumulation of sugar。
5. Small space, big harvest
I used to worry, "do you want to grow at home, you can't keep up, you can't grow? " the party can fight

Common error zone: i've stepped on these three pits. Go around
1. Mistake i: to bury the remaining sugar cane head directly lee
And then it became clear to me that mature sugar cane eyes had lost their activity and buried in vain. That is the right path。
2. Mistake ii: too full of love, too hard of water
I'm afraid it's thirsty, it's watering, and it's gone. Remember, apart from planting and pouring down the root water, the earth's surface is dried up. The sugar cane is drought-resistant and flood-resistant, and it is damaged by water。
3. Mistake iii: nut fertilizer feeding in maturity
See how slow it is? The leaves were long and the straw was not sweet. Nitrous fat is long leaves and must stop at a later stage so that the sweet taste can be “pushed” with potassium fat。

Practical techniques: 2 tricks, fast-growing and strong
1. Cultivated, bred and strong
Wrapped with wet towels and placed in warm places (on routers, around 25°c by heater) and covered for about two days, with little white spots appearing in the buds. That's a 90% bulging rate, and it's still working
2. Peasant with grass-grass ash, inverted and sweet
When the sugar cane grows to high knees, the ground is taken and the ash is mixed into the soil. It helps to stabilize roots, prevent inversions, and pre-fills potassium fertilizer, laying the foundation for later sweetening。
I see others grow sugar cane, and when the harvest is over, they'll take off their leaves. In fact, the purpose is to provide more light for the tubing, to concentrate on strong nutrients, to improve ventilation and to reduce pests and diseases. We can do this as we please

Reader's question: what you might want to know is here
Can the north grow
Yes! The spring harvest will be cut before october. If it were to be prolonged, it would be useful to build a small plastic shed before the fall of the frost。
How about a small flower pot on the balcony
I can't do it. It's not gonna work. A minimum of 40 cm in diameter and above 50 cm in large basins or foam boxes is placed in the best position of sunlight on the southern balcony, with a full harvest in the second part of a basin。
3. How long will it take to plant it
It's not too long! It'll be cut in september-october, 5-6 months. When you see the leaves starting to grow yellow, it's hard, it's sweet with a hand. Cutting cane, succulent and sweet. That's the taste
Let's move, this fall, to make this hand-grown sweet and the proudest harvest in your garden
