Hello everyone, are you ready to weed every day? I don't want to spend all my time on weeding. Is there any good way to do it? Today I will talk about the best method I know.


I’m going to use the weeding artifact I’m going to talk about today. This weeding artifact is a weedproof cloth.

The grassproof cloth is a kind of clothlike material woven from UVresistant polypropylene flat yarn. Polypropylene is an internationally recognized degradable and environmentally friendly material.

Let's take a look at the role of grassproof cloth:

The first is to inhibit the growth of weeds: because the weedproof cloth can prevent direct sunlight on the ground, and the structure of the weedproof cloth itself is very strong, which can prevent the weeds below from passing through, and the grass will not grow, which is guaranteed Inhibit and kill the growth of weeds. To

Second, the grassproof cloth is waterpermeable, waterretaining, and breathable: the grassproof cloth is woven from flat yarns. There are very small gaps where the warp and weft are intertwined, so it has a certain degree of water permeability and air permeability.

Third, prevent and reduce pests and diseases: Covering the grassproof cloth can prevent the overwintering pests in the soil from unearthing, and at the same time prevent and reduce the reproduction and infestation of pathogens in the soil. To

4. The grassproof cloth has a certain tensile strength and can resist the pulling and pulling of some external forces. So it can be used for a long time without being damaged.

In fact, grassproof cloth has been widely used in various vegetables and gardening. Of course, our small vegetable garden can also be planted with grassproof cloth, which saves a lot of time and is very laborsaving.

If you are going to buy grassproof cloth, please be careful not to make a mistake. The grassproof cloth is black and looks like the texture of cloth. Don’t buy it as a black plastic mulch. The role of grassproof cloth and plastic mulch is different.

This is the year before the Chinese New Year, and I am interested and planted half an acre of corn.

I used a chicken shed to build a greenhouse to grow seedlings, while raising the seedlings while preparing the land, after ploughing the land, I added enough organic fertilizer all at once.

After that, a good friend who grows an organic farm drove a tractor to help me spread the mulch. At that time, I chose to use plastic mulch because plastic mulch has the function of retaining fertilizer and improving soil structure. After covering with mulch, the soil is protected from rain. , Is conducive to the decomposition of organic matter and the nitrification of nitrogen, reduces the loss of nutrients, and keeps the soil in a better loose state. The less airpermeable environment under the plastic mulch is conducive to soil microbial activity, promotes the decomposition of organic matter, and improves soil fertility. During the whole planting period, I did not apply any more fertilizer.


Having said that, from the perspective of weed control alone, the effect of grassproof cloth and black mulch is similar. But plastic mulch is easy to break, and recycling is very troublesome. Last year, I used nonwoven mulch to plant roses on half an acre of land where I used to grow corn.

After the planting period is over, it takes time to recycle the grass cloth or plastic mulch. The grassproof cloth or nonwoven mulch is durable and easy to recycle. The plastic mulch is more troublesome to recycle. At that time, after I harvested corn, when I came to recycle the plastic mulch, the mulch was very fragmented and I could only pick it out a little bit. . But compared to rooting and weeding, cleaning up the mulch is a onetime operation. Just spend time and concentrate on cleaning up all the used mulch. Weeds will continue to grow, requiring constant weeding and repeated labor. .

Now, I only use black grass cloth without plastic mulch when I grow vegetables. I know many things after trying them.
