Perhaps, there is now no gardener - gardener who has not heard about the soil mulching. Mulching means by a soil cover some or organic or, on the contrary, is not an organic material. Many times already discussed the undoubted benefits of mulching - that the protection of the plant root system from temperature changes, and saving it in soil moisture, and the increase in topsoil beds. However, considerable importance is mulching and weed control.
Judging by the reviews, not all amateur gardeners manage to get rid of weeds by using mulching. Let's see, what's the deal?
Before starting their beds mulch the ground under mulch is necessary to prepare. It is possible to loosen the ground at the desired location, select all the roots of the weeds and only thereafter laid mulch layer. Otherwise the weeds will still make their way through mulch... However, this method is very labor-intensive and large areas is thus not processed.
Also, if you want to clear the weeds are large, not sown areas are used herbicides continuous action. Only after etching laid mulch. As a result, this ground part of weeds, as well as their roots and are killed by herbicides, and had time to sow the seeds do not have enough life force that would overcome a thick layer of mulch.
But what if planned under the mulching site already planted with flowers, fruit bushes or other cultures? And in small home gardens, many gardeners prefer to do without chemicals.
To almost completely prevent the germination of weeds and keep the products of their gardens as much as possible the environmental before to lay mulch layer necessary to mow or break the high weeds. While mowing longer necessary for convenience, and is not at all mandatory. Then, at the bevelled weeds stacked paper waste such as paper or cardboard. And only after that, on paper waste laid mulch laid out entirely.
In this method, the vast majority of the weeds are killed. She mulch gradually rot and it is periodically necessary to renovate.
Also rot mulch enriches the ground, as a result, increased plant productivity and resistance to temperature.
