Have you ever thought how to farm in the desert? Farming in the desert almost certainly not be realized, because the sand can not store water, whereas rice plants need water, not just rice, but many plants need water, just cactus does not need water. In this world there are a lot of desert, and this is a potential area to be processed. Last week, I was traveling with his wife in a desert land. There, rice, corn, root crops and vines can thrive. The results are not inferior to the farm in a cool, low-lying areas. How farmers manage the land of the desert?

First saw the farm in the desert, I was surprised. Plants that grow fast, produce fruit even though the land barren and dry. Watering is only done in the morning and afternoon. Apparently the secret of agriculture in the desert is a considerable fertilizer, and soil with some moisture. so, you must provide enough land, not sand. The soil should contain manure from livestock or organic fertilizer. Sprinkle the soil in the desert fields. Flush with water, the soil can hold water. In these conditions, plants can thrive, the more you often sow manure and flush water, the sand at the bottom will be more fertile. So you will get rich sand. That's engineering plant in the desert.
