A primary element of organic lawn management is the use of compost [2] and compost tea to reduce the need for fertilization and to encourage healthy soil that enables turf to resist pests. [3] A second element is mowing tall (3" – 4") to suppress weeds and encourage deep grass roots, [4] and leaving grass clippings and leaves on the lawn as ...
A comparison of commonly used soil stabilization treatments found that wood and straw mulch reduced water erosion rates by 60 to 80%, contour-felled log erosion barriers 50 to 70%, hydromulch 19% and grass seeding had little effect the first year during low intensity rainfall events and all were relatively ineffective in high intensity rainfall ...
With soil solarization, the seed bed is covered with a clear plastic sheet which heats the soil to a temperature that kills pests, pathogens, and weeds. With occultation, black plastic or silage tarps are laid over the soil, creating a moist and warm environment in which weed seeds germinate, and then die due to lack of light.
A Kenyan farmer holding tilled soil. Dries the soil before seeding. [17] Soil loses nutrients, like nitrogen and fertilizer, and its ability to store water. [17] [note 2] Decreases the water infiltration rate of soil. (Results in more runoff and erosion [17] [19] as the soil absorbs water more slowly than before) [note 3]
Broadcast seeding works best for plants that do not require singular spacing or that are more easily thinned later. [1] After broadcasting, seed is often lightly buried with some type of raking action, often done using vertical tillage tools. Utilizing these tools increases the success rate of germination by increasing seed-to-soil contact. [1]
Tilling the soil, or tillage, is the breaking of soil, such as with a plough or harrow, to prepare the soil for new seeds. Tillage systems vary in intensity and disturbance. Conventional tillage is the most intense tillage system and disturbs the deepest level of soils. At least 30% of plant residue remains on the soil surface in conservation ...
