The "overhead slide" in the vegetable greenhouse - a farmer's "rustic trick" makes tomato harvesting easier, one person can do the work of 5 people

In the height of summer, farmers who bend over the soil with their backs to the sky are still busy in the vegetable greenhouses. For Old Wang, who grows tomatoes, the hardest part of greenhouse farming in the past was harvesting tomatoes in a greenhouse at nearly 40°C.

Do you know how many jin of tomatoes a one-mu vegetable greenhouse can harvest? For a competent vegetable grower, 15,000 jin is not a very high number, but do you know how hard it is to pick so many tomatoes one by one and then carry them out of the greenhouse basket by basket?

That means nearly a month of working from dawn to dusk in the field every day. Especially in June and July, heatstroke and exhaustion are problems every farmer has to face.

But this year, facing a greenhouse full of bumper tomatoes, Old Wang is not worried at all, simply because he installed a harvesting "miracle tool" in his greenhouse - a pulley cart. Using this movable harvesting cart, Old Wang only needs to put the harvest baskets on the cart, then pick tomatoes with ease, and push the fully loaded tomatoes out of the greenhouse to load them directly onto the truck.

Isn't it amazing? With just one idea, nearly half of Old Wang's workload was saved. Old Wang happily told us that based on the current workload, next year he can manage two greenhouses by himself, and his income can double.
