BLOG #8 : HOW TO GROW MY GRANDPARENTS’ COFFEE

in #homesteading7 years ago (edited)

My grandparents are farmers who grow coffee. The last few days I visited my grandparents. And my grandparents have taught me how to grow coffee with high productivity. Here I will tell you all about
..
TECHNIQUE FOR GROWING COFFEE ?

  1. Prepare coffee grounds in a technical way to grow coffee
    Land for coffee trees must be good soil, thick soil layer, porous, easy to drain, nutrient-rich. If you have to re-plant the previous cycle of growing coffee, you have to plant soil for 2-3 years. The land of coffee trees of the previous cycle has root rot should not be re-planted but need to rotate with other crops to prevent damage.

2.Design the orchard of the coffee growing technique
Complete design of the coffee garden at the beginning must meet the following requirements:
Intensive intensive farming increases long-term productivity
Protect the soil to prevent erosion to prevent damage
Plant protection against weather conditions (frost, hot winds, storms)
Ensure care, transportation.
Land savings (land reserved for forests and roads less than 15%)

Depending on the terrain, the design of the coffee plantation in each lot, each plot is about 16-20ha. The length of the plot is parallel to the contour line. The batches are divided into 1ha small plot (500 * 100m). 1 batch of coffee is 50m, length of coffee in the lot is 50m.
Note: terrain with a slope of over 80 must be designed to ensure the motor care and transportation, ensuring measures to prevent erosion, cultivate cormorant coffee, planting trees to prevent erosion. The children do not have a large area, they do not need to be subdivided, but must be planted on a contour.

TECHNICAL DIGGING HOLES, MIXING COFFEE BEANS ?
Pit excavation size: good soil 40 cm long, 40cm wide and 50cm deep. Bad soil has to dig 50 cm long, 50 cm wide and 60 cm deep.
Mix compost: Compost and phosphate are mixed with topsoil and filled into the hole. The soil mixture with the compost is 10-15cm above the surface. Mix fertilizer, fill the hole must be completed before planting new 1-2 months.
Dilution rate for 1 hole: Organic fertilizer 10-15 kg, 0.5 kg phosphate.
Distance, density to implement coffee growing techniques
Coffee Catimor tea planted about 5,000 trees / ha, rows 2m, trees 1m. If bad soil can grow thicker coffee.
Robusta coffee: 3,5x2,5 m, 1,330 trees / ha, 1 tree / hole; 3,0x2,5 m corresponding density of 2,660 trees / ha, planting 2 trees / hole
Tasks to apply coffee growing techniques
Planting at the beginning of the rainy season is best. It is possible to plant late rainy season, but ensure enough water to irrigate the coffee...

Use a small hole in the hole 25-30cm deep, 15-20cm wide in the middle of the hole was filled in. Tear the nylon bag first, then gently put the coffee plant in the middle of the hole, adjust the tree upright, fill the soil slowly fill and use the hand to compress the soil, fill the soil across the pot. It is necessary to make a tub to form the shore around the hole after planting.
Carefully avoid not to break the gourd. Set the gourd under the ground 7-10cm to easily hit the pits, muddy water retention for trees.
🙄
Planting care must be done to protect trees. Place baskets and stacks of straw, trash and grass in circles, leaving 20cm at least 20cm away from the base.You can see how to grow other coffee here
Of course, because each country will have different ways of growing coffee.😋

I had a phone call to my grandparents about the problem of growing coffee. There are
many things to keep in mind but I do not remember much. I will share with you how to grow other plants in the following articles. Thank you everyone for reading my article

Alice is coffee your favourite drink?

Ever since I was a kid the senses inside of me sensed me to stay well clear coffee. Even the aroma smell of coffee I did not enjoy either. In all my life I have never drank any coffee.

hahaa i only drink coffee milk, other bitter coffee I do not know how to drink

Do you drink cow milk?

Over the last year I started drinking almond milk instead of the cow milk. From what I heard a lot of the milk they sell in shops or supermarkets are bleached with paint thinner.

Whoa, this is cool! I am a coffeeholic. Are your grandparents planting robusta coffee? Would love to get more information from you.

hahhaa i do not know much about coffee, because my family live in the city .. 2 years i visited my grandparents once

oh, that's quite some time. it is ok. there is always a start

Do you sell coffee with many buyers?

Not yet, doing research on that but I do know a supplier of beans from Indonesia. Want to know more about vietnam's coffee :)
