At the beginning of May, we had the opportunity to visit the house of Ms. Mai Thi Anh Xuan (30 years old) in Ben Tre province and were surprised by the garden with a gourd of nearly 3 meters high, bearing fruit. Besides, Ms. Xuan also owns 3 mushroom growers with 216 square meters wide, with many types of mushrooms such as abalone, straw, golden …
From planning staff to mushrooming startups
To achieve these results, Xuan said that she started a business four years ago. “After 7 years working as a planner for a company near my home, I felt the job was boring, not to mention the limited salary. In 2017, I decided to start a business, building a small garden growing a variety of vegetables. At that time, I did not dare to quit my job because I was afraid of failure, ”Xuan shared.During the past 4 years, she has worked at the company as well as being a home farmer. It was not until April 2021 that she quit her job completely to focus on the startup garden.
“At first I chose abalone mushrooms because they are easy to grow and are popular with many people. I started to go online to learn the techniques and process of growing mushrooms ”, Xuan said.
Despite careful preparation, the 9x girl is still “injured” when starting a career with mushrooms. “Initially, I used a pillar (ie a coconut tree and then a brick) to hang nearly 5,000 blocks of mushroom embryos, weighing nearly 7 tons. After that, a storm came, strong winds knocked down the mushroom house and I was lucky to escape, “Xuan recalled.
However, she decided not to give up and asked her brothers and neighbors to help clean and rebuild the mushroom house. “I learned from the experience of blood and blood that I built a house to grow mushrooms with iron and iron shelves instead of using pillars,” Xuan said.According to Xuan, mushrooms can be grown all year round in the house and she usually nurses the mushroom for about 2 months to have a harvest.”The most important thing is that I have to stay up late to pick mushrooms because this timeframe has high humidity, at which time the fungus will grow well. Growing abalone mushroom is the easiest because I can control its growth time by closing. and open the bag, “Xuan shared her secret.
Each crop of mushrooms will produce 5,000 embryos (nearly 1,000 kg), earning 15-20 million. I also sell seeds to those who want to experiment. In the future, I aim to supply mushrooms to restaurants, restaurants and supermarkets… ”, Xuan said.
The garden was full of fruit
In addition to the mushroom growers, every day, Spring takes care of a clean vegetable garden in front of the house with nearly 40 square meters with many types such as gourd, squash, broccoli, vermicelli, white radish, and melon …Looking at the plump gourds, Xuan said that planting this fruit is quite easy, just watering it in the morning, afternoon and sometimes with NPK fertilizer, less nitrogen fertilizer will give good fruit. According to Xuan, this fruit will yield 2 months of fruit in 2 months, and each time she picks nearly 200 fruits, can eat 2 to 3 months.
Sharing the secret of growing hydroponic vegetables, Xuan said: “I water the vegetables with hydroponic water (hydroponic solution) once a week. As for normal water, 2-3 times a day, if it rains, it should not be watered. Plants grow 10 to 15 days, then catch worms. Hydroponic vegetables absorb sunlight for photosynthesis, the stronger the light, the more sunny the yard, the better vegetables will grow ”.
“I feel happy when I take care of my own garden and pick clean agricultural products and process food for my family,” Xuan said. freely at. Follow Thanh Nien
