The correct way to lay weed control fabric

I. Preparations before laying ‌ Ground cleaning ‌ : All surface weeds (especially those with thick stems) must be thoroughly removed and the land leveled to prevent residual weeds from puncturing the weed control fabric or affecting the laying effect. Youdaoplaceholder0 Slope treatment ‌ : The ground around the tree trunk should be slightly higher than the outside (with a height difference of about 5cm) to form a slope for drainage and prevent water accumulation. Youdaoplaceholder0 Material selection ‌ : Choose the anti-weed fabric made of PE, PP or PLA according to the requirements, and match the size of the planting area (for example, 1.2 meters wide can be selected for young fruit trees, and 1.6 meters or more for mature trees).

Laying Method and Technical points ‌ Full coverage method ‌ ‌ Applicable scenarios ‌ : areas requiring high cleanliness such as seedling raising, greenhouses or soilless cultivation. Youdaoplaceholder0 Advantages ‌ : thorough weed control and convenient management. Disadvantages of ‌ : high cost, and the fabric surface needs to be lifted for fertilization. Youdaoplaceholder0 planting bed covering method ‌ ‌ operation ‌ : centering on the planting behavior, lay 0.6-2 meters wide weed control cloth on both sides, with the passageways exposed. Youdaoplaceholder0 Advantages ‌ : High cost performance, suitable for orchards. Youdaoplaceholder0 Disadvantage ‌ : Extra weeding is needed in the passageway. Youdaoplaceholder0 sheet covering method ‌ ‌ operation ‌ : Cut the weed control fabric into a square shape (e.g., 1.2×1.2 meters), and make a hole in the middle to cover the sapling. Youdaoplaceholder0 Advantage ‌ : Material saving. Disadvantages of ‌ : small weed control range and troublesome maintenance. Iii. Fixation and Connection Techniques ‌ Fixation method ‌ : Use “U” -shaped ground nails or iron nails to fix the edges. The overlapping part should be 3-5cm to prevent grass from growing in the gaps. Youdaoplaceholder0 Drainage treatment ‌ : When laying on a large scale, reserve drainage holes at regular intervals or dig rainwater collection ditches (30cm deep and 30cm wide) to assist in drainage. 4. Maintenance after laying ‌ Regular inspection ‌ : Repair damaged areas to prevent rodents from nesting or weeds from penetrating. Youdaoplaceholder0 Avoid soil accumulation ‌ : If soil accumulates on the surface of the weed control fabric, it may breed weeds and should be cleared in time.
