Wonke umlimi wegadi uyazi ukuba kunjani ukukhungatheka ngokhula kwiyadi yakho ukuba ufuna nje ukumbulala.Ewe, iindaba ezimnandi: unako.
Iiplastiki ezimnyama kunye nelaphu le-landscape ziindlela ezimbini ezidumileyo zokugquma ukhula.Zombini zibandakanya ukubeka izinto phezu kwendawo enkulu yegadi enemingxuma apho izityalo ziya kukhula khona.Oku mhlawumbi kuthintela imbewu yokhula ukuba ingantshuli ngokupheleleyo okanye ifuthanise ngokukhawuleza nje ukuba ikhule.
UKeith Garland, ingcaphephe yezolimo kwiYunivesithi yaseMaine uthi: “Ilaphu le-landscape aliyonto ngaphandle kweplastiki emnyama, kwaye abantu bahlala bebhidanisa ezi zimbini.
Eyokuqala, iplastiki emnyama isoloko inexabiso eliphantsi kwaye ayinakulungiswa kunelaphu lenkangeleko yomhlaba, utshilo uMatthew Wallhead, ingcaphephe yegadi yokuhombisa kunye nonjingalwazi oncedisayo kwiYunivesithi yaseMaine's Cooperative Extension.Ngokomzekelo, uthi ngelixa iplastiki yegadi emnyama ihlala inemingxuma yezityalo enemingxuma, amalaphu amaninzi afuna ukuba usike okanye utshise imingxuma ngokwakho.
"Iplastiki mhlawumbi inexabiso eliphantsi kunelaphu lendawo kwaye kulula ukuyiphatha ngokwendlela yokuyibeka endaweni," utshilo uWallhead."Ukulungisa umhlaba ngamanye amaxesha kufuna umsebenzi omninzi."
U-Eric Galland, unjingalwazi we-ecology yokhula kwiYunivesithi yaseMaine, uthe enye yeenzuzo eziphambili zeplastiki emnyama, ngakumbi kwizityalo ezithanda ukushisa ezifana neetamatato zaseMaine, i-pepper kunye namathanga, inokufudumala umhlaba.
“Ukuba usebenzisa iplastiki emnyama eqhelekileyo, kufuneka uqinisekise ukuba umhlaba ofaka kuwo iplastiki ulungile, uqinile kwaye ulungelelene [ukuze] ufudumale elangeni kwaye uqhube ubushushu emhlabeni,” utshilo. .
Iplastiki emnyama igcina amanzi ngokufanelekileyo, uGarland wongezelela, kodwa kunokuba bubulumko ukunkcenkceshela phantsi kweplastiki emnyama, ngakumbi kwiminyaka eyomileyo.
“Kwakhona kwenza ukunkcenkceshela kube nzima kuba kufuneka uqondise amanzi kumngxuma otyala kuwo okanye uthembele kumanzi ukuze ufuduke emhlabeni uye apho kufuneka ube khona,” utshilo uGarland."Kunyaka oqhelekileyo wemvula, amanzi awela kumhlaba ojikelezileyo angafuduka kakuhle phantsi kweplastiki."
Kubalimi abakhathalela uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali, uGarland uthi ungasebenzisa iingxowa zenkunkuma ezimnyama endaweni yokuthenga amashiti atyebileyo okulima, kodwa funda iilebhile ngononophelo.
“Ngamanye amaxesha iingxowa zenkunkuma ziqatywa ngezinto ezifana nezibulali zinambuzane ukunciphisa ukukhula kwemibungu,” utshilo."Nokuba kukho naziphi na iimveliso ezongezelelweyo ngaphakathi kufuneka zichazwe kwipakethe ngokwayo."
Nangona kunjalo, kukwakho nokungalunganga: iplastiki isoloko ilahlwa emva kokuba ixesha lokukhula liphelile.
“Bayonakalisa indalo esingqongileyo,” utshilo uTom Roberts, umnini weFama iSnakeroot.“Uhlawula abantu ukuba bakhuphe ioli baze bayijike ibe yiplastiki.Udala imfuno yeplastiki [kwaye] udala inkunkuma. ”
UWallhead uthi uhlala ekhetha amalaphu anokuphinda asetyenziswe, nangona oko kuthatha inzame eyongezelelweyo.
“Inde ngenene, ngelixa ngeplastiki utshintsha iplastiki minyaka le,” utshilo.“Iplastiki inokuba bhetele kwizityalo zonyaka [kunye] nezityalo ezihlala ixesha elide;ilaphu lembonakalo yomhlaba [libhetele] kwiibhedi ezisisigxina ezifana neebhedi zeentyatyambo ezisikiweyo.”
Nangona kunjalo, uGarland uthi amalaphu omhlaba anemiqobo ebalulekileyo.Emva kokuba ilaphu libekwe, lihlala ligqunywe nge-bark mulch okanye enye i-organic substrate.Umhlaba kunye nokhula nako kungakha kwisigcina-kufuma kunye namalaphu ekuhambeni kweminyaka, utshilo.
“Iingcambu ziya kukhula kwilaphu lenkangeleko yomhlaba kuba lilaphu elilukiweyo,” uyacacisa.“Ugqibela sele uyingxubakaxaka xa ususa ukhula kwaye nelaphu lembonakalo yomhlaba liyatsaleka.Akukho mnandi.Nje ukuba udlule apho, awusoze ufune ukusebenzisa ilaphu lendawo kwakhona. ”
“Ngamanye amaxesha ndiyisebenzisa phakathi kwemiqolo yesitiya semifuno ndisazi ukuba andizukuyigquma,” utshilo.“Ngumathiriyeli osicaba, kwaye ukuba [ndi] ndiwungcolise ngempazamo, ndingawususa.”
