Rice straw has been used to reduce growth stimulation and a cold drought disaster when I set tea newly, but the use of the polymulti-material increases as rice straw and coating material with the growth stimulation effect with more than of same class while in late years rice straw material is short. It is said that black multi-は to the origin of tea tree strain of the young tree period, a growth stimulation effect are high, and making it it can expect resolution garden already.

However, a root system is apt to become slight when I keep on having used poly multi-を which used it expecting a growth stimulation effect.
In this way plant a seedling permanently because become easy to receive winter drought damage; and the second year.
I perform the poly multi-removal.

I displayed “an armor decoration” in the shop.

Originally “the Boy’s Festival” was one of the ancient season event “five festivals” (the seasonal festival of the seven herbs, the Girl’s Festival, the Boy’s Festival, festival of bamboo (bamboo grass), the Feast of the Chrysanthemum) of China.
With “the festival ,” it is the meaning called the turning point of the season. Because malarial air was easy to stop by in the turning point of the season, I did a decoration and the offering thing every season and exorcised evil spirits, and it has manners and customs in hope of a perfect state of health.

the meaning called the day of horse where May is the first as for “the Iris Festival” in the old calendar.
When it was the Kamakura – Muromachi era when a samurai gained power, at this time, I took out an armor and a helmet in the samurai family, and there seemed to be a custom to decorate in a house.
I wound arms before eyes of the rainy season, and this seemed to be because it cared for it with summer airing of clothes.
It is said to come from the custom of such a samurai family that a helmet and a bow are displayed in the Boy’s Festival.

 

Because rain was forecasted, I performed application of “the beginning manure”.

This “beginning manure” becomes the manure necessary for quality improvement of the first tea and the growth of the second tea bud.
Absorption factor to a tea bud is 5-8%, and it is said that the absorption factor to the second tea is at the same level most.
Because fast-acting artificial manure is used as for “the beginning manure”, it is said that about the portent period is the best.

I perform the replanting of the tea tree.

When the age of a tree rises, “the tea” has decreased ability for recovery and cannot expect a yield, quality together. Therefore I am it with “replanting” in pulling a root with an old tea tree, and planting a seedling newly.

It is necessary for this to choose the creation method that thought about the future, and, in consideration of improvement of the labor circumstances including a farm road, base maintenance, machine introduction, it is necessary to consider a consumption tendency of the tea in the near future again.

 

The seedling which I planted newly this time used such a secret weapon from “a cell seedling”.

“Hand planter”
The feature is that I can work easily with standing without bending a waist.
50 of them are completed for approximately five minutes if they only plant it.

I cut the hem of the tea plantation and work.
It is apt to be thought that yields decrease because an area to pick up tea decreases when I cut a hem part, but has an influence on growth and the yield of the tea tree by this work.

Nourishment and water are used to other effective branches by cutting it as a useless branch, and dropping the branch of the hem part, and it is said to production that I have a good influence.
In other words I bring good influence to a harvest as much as translocation of the nourishment to the branch part which hung down disappears because the nourishment that I saved in a root to an effective branch moves to a leaf.
In addition, it is hard to walk between the ridges that are not spread out in the origin of stock in the case of fertilization, and the branch of the hem part interferes in management work. This contributes that efficiency of the work worsens and reduces precision. I cut it, and, only in a purpose to cancel these, a hem moiety is effective for the last joke.

I started “the work to prepare a branch in spring” of the tea plantation.

Because the mask which picks up tea for time if early is exposed to a chill suddenly and may receive damage caused by cold weather and is connected for a delay at the tea picking time of the first tea if late adversely, what start from the area in Saitama on the spring “equinoctial week” becomes the theory.

In addition, it is important to the depth, and a constant aspect I wear it, I secure quantity of leaf (more than leaf layer 8cm) and to pick up tea does a position becoming uniform with an aim.

 

The field we are working on this time is the so-called seedling tea garden that has not been grown until it can be harvested.
There are some seedlings that do not settle well on the ground, and wither until they can be harvested.

 

It is called “supplementary planting” to take out the dead seedlings and plant new seedlings.

We think that it is good before rain because we must fix root to the ground with plenty of water after planting.

As it was forecasted that it was raining, it was a task of changing work arrangements.

Because a warm day continued; in the house “fix the tea stock side in spring”; started it.
Concerning 10 consecutive holidays, it is the start from wanting to harvest it the consecutive holidays ago this year.
 At the time to fix the tea stock side in spring, 50-60 days ago and one doing become the theory than estimated tea picking time, and it is in Sayama with from the middle of March to the end.

When I harvest the first tea with a tea picking machine, what fix this tea stock side fixes the branch beforehand and is the work that you must do in what you prepare for so that you harvest only a sprout when I pick up tea, and an old tea leaf does not join by all means.
Of spring is before a bud still moves, and it is with the tea of the model that is heavy a bud with the thickness of the tea leaf which “seems to be the thing Sayama tea” which is late for “spring in fixing the tea stock side to perform when a root began activity a little at time to pick up the tea which should fix the tea stock side”.

In addition, after having shown the high value of 4% in November when I check all nitrogen content of an old leaf left in autumn in a recent study, I gradually decrease and it is in March and increases again and it is big for the first tea sprout growth period and knows that I decrease.
A tea plant photosynthesizes this for the portent of the sprout of the next year and seems to show an activity result for survival to an old leaf as a plant to gradually move the nourishment that I saved to the root from a leaf in the winter when I finish activity and entered for the dormancy period, and to send it to a sprout all at once, and to stretch out a bud from the root when it is in spring. In other words, cut an old leaf in spring when nourishment moves to a root, and became the cast-off shell, and drop it; it is said to be an ideal “to fix the tea stock side in spring”.

 

I tell you that there is no fine weather of 3rd in spring, but temperature rises every shower and performs application of spring manure second these days which became warm.

When a tea tree is as above average temperature 10 degrees Celsius with the high thing of the effect in growth and the quality of the bud of the tea as for the spring manure most, a root and a leaf perform it at this time because translocation of nourishment of the tree body and the water begins including activity.

In addition, the manure dissolves by water and disintegrates in the soil, and nourishment is absorbed to a tea tree. It is said that you should fertilize it on the rainy day before.
