Second step

Use a shovel or hoe, rather than a shovel, to build it easier to dig the furrows. Large balance sugar farmers preferably have more sophisticated tools to dig these furrows. Moisten the furrows. Use a hose to conscientiously humidify the furrows to prepare them for the sugar cane. Make sure the water has weary and there are no left over puddles before you plant. Plant the sugar cane. Place the stems horizontally into the furrows. Cover them with soil. Do not plant stems upright, or they will not cultivate. Wait for the sugar cane to grow. In the mechanism, usually in April or May, shoots will start to grow from the nodes of the stems. You'll see them contravention through the soil to form individual sugar cane stalks, which will grow quite tall by summer's end. Fertilize the sugar cane with nitrogen. Since sugar cane is a type of grass, it thrives on nitrogen-rich fertilizers. You can fertilize the sugar cane plants with average grass fertilizer, or go for an organic option: chicken manure. Fertilizing just once, when the sprouts first emerge, will help the sugar cane grow strong and healthy so you'll have a good harvest in the fall. Weed the planting bed often. Sugarcane will grow under harsh conditions, and require little maintenance except from weed. Don't neglect the plant bed, since weeds could choke out the new sprouts before they have the chance to thrive. Constant weeding is necessary until the canes grow huge enough to shade and stifle out most weeds on their own.
