Beginning of Winter Agricultural Proverbs
Before and after the beginning of winter, there are some folk proverbs. Let me tell you about them. The first one is "plow gold before the beginning of winter, plow silver after the beginning of winter, and plow iron after the beginning of spring". What does it mean? Plowing means plowing the land, and before the beginning of winter, it is necessary to plow the land to lay a good foundation for the next year's harvest. At this time, it is best to plow, plow, soil, and control pests. If you plow again after the beginning of winter, the timing will be too late, and if you plow again after the beginning of spring, the timing will be even later.
The second proverb is called "When winter comes, plow the land to increase its nutrients." It means that we should seize the best time after winter, before freezing, or when the freezing is not severe enough to plow the land, and then plow it several times to prepare for sowing in the spring of the following year. Plowing has many benefits, it can loosen the soil, promote air circulation in the soil, and increase nitrogen gas. It can cut off the capillaries of the soil, reduce water evaporation, and also turn nutrients such as weeds, dead branches, and leaves on the ground into fertilizer. At the same time, it can also allow the falling rain and snow to seep into the soil, prevent evaporation or loss, and maintain soil moisture. This will increase the nutrients in the land. This is the beginning of winter, when you need to plow the land well before it freezes.
The third proverb is called "Winter brings gold, wax brings silver, and spring brings manure to deceive people." These are actually proverbs derived from crops, which are proverbs of farmers. To provide good base fertilizer for winter crops, especially winter wheat and rapeseed, especially Tujia fertilizer for farmers. At this time, fertilization should be applied as early as possible, preferably during sowing. If fertilization is applied after sowing, it should also be applied as early as possible. In this way, organic fertilizer can be fully decomposed and decomposed, making it easier for crops to absorb and utilize it after spring. If fertilizer is applied later than this time, the fertilizer will not decompose in a timely manner, and the crops will not be able to utilize it. Therefore, saying 'laying manure at the beginning of spring is deceiving' means that the effect of fertilization after the beginning of spring is not obvious. This is actually some familiar proverbs related to the beginning of winter.
