Mulching with organic materials
Material type | Material type | Material type | Method of application |
Post-harvest | Rich in nutrients, | Thoroughly grind, especially draws |
residues, | contains a lot of water, | mania on fibrous coarse stems, this is easier |
sidereal | by the C: N, | ratio, the uniform distribution of the material over |
, | plants are characterized by a high content of | throughout the area. Allow the material to wilt so that |
protein | does not attract snails to fresh greens, otherwise the crops themselves may suffer from their invasion. It is recommended to mix with materials with a low nitrogen content, such as straw, sawdust, bark | |
Beveled | Contains a lot of water, | Give the material wilts so as not to attract |
grass | has a low C: N, | ratio, do not mulch too thicklayer |
when coating with a thick layer is characterized by | because of the danger of increased heat generation, | |
is caused by increased heat generation | it is recommended to mix beveled grass with bark, foliage and shreddedStraw | |
Straw | The material is dry, contains little water in | The straw should be crushed, its traditionally |
composition is high,- | ||
to the nitrogen content, is characterized by | in order to accelerate the decomposition of the admixture- | |
with a sufficiently long decomposition process, for the acceleration of which requires additional nitrogen | to the straw bloodor bone meal | |
Sawdust | The material is dry, contains little water in | Because of the long decomposition process |
in its composition, it has a low content of - | sawdust used as a durable | |
with nitrogen, characterized by a long process, for example | ||
processdecomposition, fast | in the near-trunk circle of fruit trees | |
darkens | and bushes or covers them with garden paths. To accelerate the decomposition of the material, if necessary, it is recommended to increase the nitrogen content by applying 50 g / m2 of nitrogen fertilizer or mix the sawdust with other protein-rich materials: grass, after-harvest residues, immature compost | |
Wood bark | The material is dry, | The bark of the coniferous trees, |
is usually used with the C: N ratio, the acid index | is a very durable type of mulch, with a layer of 7 cm | |
from weakly acidic to neutral | ,Coverage of | |
pH 4.5-5.5 is not more often than one | ||
, the decomposition process of | is three times as long, it is also used in decorative applications. | |
is extremely slow; | has | for flower design; |
is herbicidal due to the content of tannin, phenoland resins | spaces between plantings | |
Needles | Low acidity value, dry | Used mainly for mulch- |
material, decomposes slowly | of rhododendrons and ornamental garden plantings of heather | |
Nezr | A very valuable mulching material, | The main advantage of unripe compost in the |
compost | is characterized by a high content of | . The mulching material consists of |
nitrogen, active substances and biogenic | that decomposition processes continue | |
plant growth stimulants, contains | directly onbeds, while they do not lose valuable amounts of moisture in their | |
valuable intermediate products of decomposition, | ||
stave, acid reaction from weakly acid | scatter unripe compost is recommended | |
to neutral. It differs by a high | layer in 5-7 cm and is covered with foliage or | |
on the top with nutrient content, the price of | with mowed grass, so that it does not dry out on | |
with the fertilizing properties of | sun |
A mulching cover made of organic materials is both a protective and
nutrient layer. Degrading mulch gives the soil nutrients and trace elements, active substances and biocatalysts, enriching the soil and improving its structure. In this regard, the process of mulching with the subsequent decomposition of organic material is essentially an form of humification of and one of the ways to enrich the soil with humus. Nutrient transfer processes proceed in accordance with the needs of plants during the growing season, so special attention should be paid to ensure that no external influences disturb the mechanism of decomposition and mineralization of nutrients.
The process of mulching with the subsequent decomposition of organic material is essentially a form of humification and one of the ways to enrich the soil with humus.
This form of compost heap is very convenient for direct spreading of compost over the area of the site as organic fertilizer and mulch cover
In spring, the unbroken residues of winter mulch are harvested and laid in compost, where they serve as a fine disintegrating material.
. For mulching cover, well-, sideral plants, non-seeded weeds, mown grass, straw, foliage, sawdust, immature compost, overgrown littermanure, chopped wood bark. The characteristics of the mulching materials, the way they are used and the time of decomposition are different, and this must also be taken into account in order to avoid possible failures.
Some types of mulching materials have a herbicidal effect or repel pests. Thus, the bark of softwood species suppresses the growth of weeds due to the chemical components contained in it, and the post-harvest remnants of the tomato tops on the cabbage beds discourage the cabbage fly and butterfly cabbage.
