Covering material weed control

In spite of the fact that people got acquainted with modern covering materials much recently, every year more and more owners of summer cottages and kitchen gardens use them on their site. They are attracted by the fact that using these materials, which are easy to use, you can create favorable conditions for plant growth and development. And the most important thing here is that they perfectly protect garden crops from weeds and pests.

Today in shops for summer residents it is possible to buy a large number of options for canvases for mulching, however, black agrofiber-based covering material is still the most popular among such solutions that allow you to fight weeds density of 50-60 g / m².

Principle of action

You can be convinced of the ease of use of such canvases by familiarizing yourself with the principle of their work.

• The black cloth acquired in advance stretches onto the surface of the beds with seedlings, and then cross-shaped cuts are made in those places from which the seedlings will grow
• The order of preparation of the material may be somewhat different: after the ground is covered with covering material, holes are made in it, into which seedlings are then planted directly or seeds are sown.

Benefits

If the cottager plans to use black mulch, then it is recommended to use the equipment of Mitlayder or Lyadov for the organization of beds. Moreover, it is recommended to adhere to such a frequency of planting, so that the plants are provided with a sufficient amount of air that can easily penetrate to them. Mulch beds require careful treatment, because if you walk on them, it can cause the displacement of the web, as a result weeds will grow around the plants.

1. These canvases are made using the latest technology, which eliminates the formation of rot and mold under them. At the same time, they create optimal conditions for the plants to be supplied with all the substances necessary for their normal growth.
2. When using black mulch in the southern hot regions, it is recommended to lay hay on top of it, because on very hot days the plants can easily burn, and the canvas will lose its performance.
3. One of the significant advantages of black covering material is high strength.
4. The color of such cloths protects from sunlight, at the same time heat, moisture and air pass well through the material.
5. The film covers the weeds, preventing them from reaching the sunlight, and this inevitably leads to the exhaustion and death of young grass shoots.

Using white, transparent or color covering material allows you to create the most favorable conditions for plants, providing them with the necessary amount of light, air and moisture. Therefore, having such a shelter at your disposal, you do not have to spend a lot of time and effort in order to get a rich and healthy harvest.

Such canvases protect the earth from weathering and do not allow moisture to evaporate quickly. This, in turn, saves the owner from the need to carry out such tedious operations as weeding and loosening the soil. It is quite convenient to irrigate and apply liquid mineral fertilizers for plants that grow under this covering material: water and dressing can be poured directly on top of the canvas.

In addition to this, with the help of such a shelter it is possible to ensure that the beds look well-groomed and neat. No less important is the fact that non-woven materials do not harm the soil and plants, because they are completely environmentally friendly.

Types of covering material

In recent years, gardeners used not only polyethylene film and other traditional materials with the help of which mulching and shelter of beds are carried out. There are more and more people willing to buy such material as spunbond.

It is worth saying that this word is characterized not only by the material based on molten polymer, but also by the technology of its manufacture. A sign of high quality spunbond is the presence of ultraviolet stabilizers, due to which the web is able to provide protection from the negative influence of the sun's rays.

With the help of this material, we can struggle with weeds without much effort and at the same time provide plants with favorable conditions for growth and development. And it is no coincidence that this material provides a lot of color solutions, since they all correspond to a specific field of application and have their price.

• white - such cloths serve for shelter of beds and flower beds;
• black - using this material, the plants protect against weeds and carry out mulching.

You can stretch the spunbond on the beds only after the seedlings or seeds are in the ground. Once the canvas is deployed on the bed and stretched, it must be fastened at the edges. Moreover, there are two possible options for laying: the usual, providing for fastening at the edges, and using the frame.

The covering material should be on the bed until the plant will not pass the entire vegetation phase. Black mulch should be on the ground until the crop is harvested.

Covering canvases, as well as mulch, can serve a summer resident long enough: according to the promises of producers, they can successfully cope with their tasks for 12 years.

Thus, choosing a black covering material, the owner becomes the owner of a high-strength shelter, which is able to perfectly protect plants from corrosive environments and at the same time not harm them due to the absence of toxins and allergens.

Conclusion

One of the conditions, the observance of which guarantees a good harvest, is weed control. As a rule, this work takes a lot of time and effort from summer residents. However, with the help of modern materials it is possible to solve this problem with minimal effort. For this it is enough to use a special covering material.
