Introduction

There are many earthworms in the soft soil. Vermicompost is abundant in certain lush and humid places. Earthworm poop is also a nutrient-rich fertilizer!
The huge cucumber greenhouse is located in the rice field with beautiful surrounding countryside. The owner of the farm, Zhong Zhengdao, planted buckwheat in the rice field after harvest. Buckwheat is a drought-resistant crop, rich in nutrition, no fertilizer or pesticide used, and can be harvested mechanically. After harvesting, the plants can be used as eco-friendly compost in the farmland. Now there is a large field of buckwheat flowers, and the best viewing period starts from the end of November to December every year, where the small and lovely appearance of the buckwheat flowers can be seen swaying charmingly and romantically in the breeze.
