Since it was decided to exchange vegetables for supplies, the greenhouse was clearly the area Chen Xin most needed to upgrade now.
Currently, half of the land in Chen Xin's greenhouse is planted with carrots, which still need about two months until harvest. The other half was previously planted with lettuce and cabbage, which have just been harvested. Chen Xin needs to fertilize the land again, then till it and sow new seeds.
Fertilizing the land involves tilling, commonly known as plowing or cultivating the soil.
This is done to break up clumps in the soil and loosen it, facilitating crop growth. While fertilizing, the nutrients are also incorporated into the soil layers, allowing plants to better absorb the nutrients.
Tilling is one of the most important parts of farming, and it's also one of the most labor-intensive tasks, which is why in ancient times, oxen or even warhorses were used for plowing.
