Ndikhulele ngaphakathi e-LA, apho yonke indlu yayinengca egcinwe kakuhle. Emva phaya asizange sicinge ngamanzi njengobutyebi obuxabisekileyo. Ngoku ndihlala e-Seattle enezithunzela, kodwa ingca yam iminxwe zii-dandelions kunye ne-moss. Ingca iye yaba sisandi ngaphezu kwento ebalaseleyo kwiminyaka yakutshanje, imeko yokuma komhlaba engabonakalisi zimpawu zokubuyela umva. Andikwazi ukulinda ukunciphisa kum. Kodwa kanjani?
Ingca iyomelela ngendlela emangalisayo kwaye kunzima ukuyibulala. Ungayihoya iinyanga kwaye ayizukufa. Ingabonakala ifile, kodwa inokubuyela umva. Ukuba ujonge ukususa i-turf ngokusisigxina, kufuneka uqhekeze isicwangciso. Ezi ziindlela ezine ezaziwa kakhulu.

Kutheni ndiqhubeka ndibona ama-222
Ukutshiza : Amayeza okubulala ukhula yindlela eqinisekileyo yomlilo yokuqalisa - ukuba ukhululekile ngeekhemikhali, oko kukuthi. Yisonge yonke , igama lomzi lokubulala ukhula, lifunxwa sisityalo neengcambu, kwaye alinayo intsalela yomhlaba. Jonga uqikelelo lwemozulu kwaye ukhethe usuku olunelanga, olungenamoya (ilanga liyomisa imveliso ngokukhawuleza; awufuni moya, njengoko umoya unokubangela ukuba uvuthele kolunye uhlaza). Amanzi iiyure ezingama-24 ngaphambi kokutshiza ukuze uchume ingca. Tshiza ingca ngokulinganayo nangokucokisekileyo. Kuya kufuneka uphinde kwakhona emva kweentsuku ezimbalwa. Emva kweveki okanye ezimbini, ingca yakho kufuneka ukuba ifile. I-caveat, nangona kunjalo: nangona i-Roundup, eyenziwe nguMonsanto, ibango ukuba ikhuselekile kwaye ayinabungozi, uninzi lwezifundo lubonisa ngenye indlela. Nantsi inqaku Ukuthatha ingqalelo kwi IWashington Post . Isisombululo esico-friendly ngakumbi? Ndivile iviniga isebenza ngokumangalisayo kukhula nengca.

Abasebenzi abaninzi bokulungisa umhlaba batshabalalisa nje uluhlu oluphezulu lwengca, beshiya inkqubo yeengcambu iqinile, oko kuthetha ukuba ingca yakho iya kubuya. Kwaye ukujikeleza iintlobo ezithile zengca, njengeBermuda, ekhula ukusuka kwizikhondo, iya kuyityalela ngokutsha. Ngaphambi kokumba, vumela ingca yakho ife. Xa kumdaka kakhulu abamelwane bakho bakunika iliso elinukayo, lixesha. Ungasebenzisa umhlakulo okanye i-manual-kick-plod sod cutter xa ujongana nendawo encinci kwaye unamandla amakhulu emisipha. Okanye unokurenta i-sod cutter esesandleni sakho kwivenkile yokuphucula ikhaya.

Yigqume ngetarplastiki, kwaye vumela i-turf ibile ukuba iphele ngokukhawuleza. Oku kuthatha ubuncinci iiveki ezintandathu, oko kuthetha ukuba iiveki ezintandathu zokujonga itarp embi.

Oku kuthatha malunga neenyanga ezimbini, kodwa kumgca wokugqibela iphepha bekufanele ukuba laphuke ngokwaneleyo ukuze umbe kulo kwaye utyale nantoni na enqwenelwa yintliziyo yakho.
