Subject field(s)
  • Horticulture
  • Farming Techniques
  • Landscape Architecture
CONT

Broken stone is unsuitable for mulching in full sun since it holds summer heat longer than other mulches and may harm immature growth. Soil cultivation is not needed with proper mulching, but the mulch depth should be restored occasionally, since it naturally disintegrates with time.

OBS

With hay, straw, shavings, or plastic films.

Opération qui consiste à recouvrir le sol, au pied des plantes cultivées, d'une couche de matériau protecteur (paille, fumier bien décomposé, tourbe, écorces ou aiguilles de pin, films plastiques en polyéthylène incolores ou noirs) [...]

CONT

La couverture du sol (mulching) avec des débris végétaux (paille, broyat de broussailles, produits de fauche) évite le dessèchement du sol et empêche une repousse trop rapide de la végétation herbacée.

OBS

Le terme «couverture du sol» serait plus approprié, mais «paillage» est plus courant.
