Generally, winter bamboo shoots began to develop after the solar terms in beginning of autumn, and then they began to grow for a long time, and they can almost be dug in winter. According to the old people in the village, the digging of winter bamboo shoots generally started after first frost, and it can last until the solar term in beginning of spring. Therefore, the best time to dig winter bamboo shoots is from the end of 10 to the beginning of February of the following year, and the mass market of winter bamboo shoots starts from around 1 1 month every year.
Excavation method of winter bamboo shoots
The first one is the place where there are cracks on the ground. Going to the bamboo forest to dig winter bamboo shoots is not just to find a place to dig. We should observe first, that is, to see if there are cracks on the ground. After all, something grows underground, and if the soil on the ground is loose, there will be cracks and then it will spread around. Because you can start digging at the center of the crack.
The second is to judge by the growth and orientation of bamboo. Generally, where bamboo grows well, that is, bamboo is thick and its leaves are dark green, there are basically winter bamboo shoots under its tree, so you can find them if you look around carefully. In addition, according to the orientation of bamboo, there are more winter bamboo shoots underground in sunny places, because the temperature is higher, which is conducive to the growth of winter bamboo shoots. And find the right position, it will be more than half successful.
