Ke ulu nei anei ka mauʻu hoʻopunipuni?
Ua puni ia no 45 mau makahiki, akā ua lohi ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka mauʻu synthetic ma UK, ʻoiai ua lilo ia i mea kaulana no nā lau nahele home ma nā mokuʻāina hema maloʻo o ʻAmelika a me ka Hikina Waena. Me he mea lā ua kū ke aloha Pelekane i ka māla ʻai i kona ala. A hiki i kēia manawa.
Ke loli mālie nei ke au, malia paha ma muli o ko kākou loli ʻana o ke aniau a i ʻole e liʻiliʻi ana ko kākou mau māla. I ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai kāna hōʻailona mauʻu synthetic mua i kēia pūnāwai, ua kūʻai ʻia aku ma mua o 7,000 mika kuea i loko o kekahi mau pule. Ua hoʻomaka pū ka turf hoʻopunipuni i loko o kahi māla hōʻikeʻike ma ka Chelsea Flower Show i kēia makahiki, ʻoiai ua nui ka honi ʻana mai kekahi mau ʻāpana i loko o ka RHS.
ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke manaʻoʻiʻo ʻaʻole ia he turf
He honua ʻokoʻa ka mauʻu synthetic o kēia wā mai nā moena hōʻikeʻike mea kūʻai mea kanu o nā makahiki i hala. ʻO ke kī i ka realism ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi mauʻu artificial ʻaʻole i kūpono loa. ʻO ke ʻano o kēia, ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi aka o ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo, kahi hui ʻana o nā olonā ʻōwili a pololei a me kekahi "thatch" hoʻopunipuni. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻaʻohe mea e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ana he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kāu lau nahele ma mua o kekahi mau ʻāpana make ma aneʻi a ma laila.
E noi mau i nā laʻana, e like me kāu e hana ai me ke kāpeti: hiki iā ʻoe ke waiho iā lākou ma luna o kahi lau nahele maoli, e nānā i ke kala, a hoʻāʻo i ko lākou manaʻo ma lalo o ka wāwae. Ma keʻano laulā, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā polyethylene tufts o nā huahana pipiʻi e hoʻoluʻolu a palupalu ai lākou ʻoiai ʻo nā lama "play" e loaʻa pinepine i ka polypropylene - he tuft paʻakikī. ʻOi aku ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōlinolino o nā ʻano makepono.
I ka manawa hea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mea hoʻopunipuni ma mua o ka mea maoli?
Ke mahi ʻoe i ka māla ma lalo o nā ʻūpā lāʻau a i ʻole ma ka malu nui; no nā pā hale, kahi e hoʻopau ai ke koho synthetic i nā pilikia he nui mai ka hoʻoinu ʻana i ka wai a i nā palena kaumaha; no nā wahi pāʻani, kahi e pono ai ka pae palupalu (hiki i nā pāʻani pôpeku a nā keiki ke hoʻopau koke i ka mauʻu paʻakikī loa); a ma kahi e uku nui ʻia ai ka wahi ʻaʻole hiki ke koho ʻia ka mīkini ʻoki mauʻu.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomoe iā ʻoe iho?
Ma kahi o 50% o ka mauʻu hana i hoʻomoe ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku ponoʻī. ʻO ka mauʻu hana, e like me ke kāpeti, he puʻu kuhikuhi ko lākou, no laila pono ʻoe e hōʻoia e holo like ana nā mea āpau. A he mea nui e hoʻopaʻa pono ʻia nā kihi ma mua o ke kāpili ʻana iā lākou i ka lipine e hoʻohui ai. Hāʻawi ka hapa nui o nā mea hoʻolako i ka ʻike he nui e kōkua iā ʻoe e lawe i ke ala DIY. Kūʻai pinepine ʻia ia ma nā ʻōwili 2m a i ʻole 4m ka laulā.
Nā kahua kūpono
ʻO kekahi o nā pono nui o nā lau nahele hoʻopunipuniʻo ia hoʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke kau iā lākou ma luna o nā mea āpau: sima, tarmac, one, lepo, a me ka papahele. Eia nō naʻe, inā ʻaʻole laumania like ka ʻili, no ka laʻana kahi i loaʻa ai iā ʻoe nā papa paving like ʻole, pono ʻoe e hoʻohui i kahi underlay a i ʻole ke kumu one ma lalo o kāu turf e hoʻohālikelike ai.
ʻO ka mauʻu hoʻopunipuni, nā kumukūʻai maoli
I ke kumukūʻai, ua like ka mauʻu hoʻopunipuni me nā wigs a i ʻole nā tans: inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i ka realism, e manaʻo e uku. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā lama hanohano ma kahi o £25-£30 i ka mika kuea a hiki ke pāpālua kēia kumukūʻai inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻokomo ʻia. Eia nō naʻe, inā ʻoi aku ka pili ʻana i kahi ʻili pāʻani ma mua o kahi lau nahele maoli hiki iā ʻoe ke uku iki e like me £10 no ka mika kuea (ma DYG no ka laʻana).
Ka mālama ʻana i ka illusion
ʻO ka hoʻomaha ʻana i ka mīkini ʻoki mauʻu ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo e pau nā hana āpau, ʻoiai hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻololi i ka ʻoki mauʻu i kēlā me kēia pule no kahi pulumu mahina ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi me kahi palaki ʻoʻoleʻa e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i nā lau a hāpai i ka puʻu. Hiki ke mālama ʻia ka mauʻu ʻē aʻe a i ʻole ka limu e ulu ana ma ke kua plastik o ka mauʻu e like me kāu e hana ai i kahi mauʻu maʻamau.
Inā loaʻa kekahi mau māka ma ka ʻili, hiki nō ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe iā lākou me kahi mea holoi hale ʻaʻole e hoʻokeʻokeʻo, akā hiki paha i kēia ke hōʻino i ka manaʻo kuhihewa o nā hoalauna.
Nā lau nahele lōʻihi ke ola?
Aia kekahi mau lau nahele hoʻopunipuni ma kēia ʻāina e ikaika mau ana ma hope o kekahi mau makahiki he ʻumi, akā ʻo ka hapa nui o nā ʻoihana e hōʻoiaʻiʻo e pale lākou i ka mae ʻana no ʻelima a ʻumi wale nō mau makahiki.
Nā Palena
ʻAʻole maikaʻi ka mauʻu hoʻopunipuni no nā pali no ka mea e lilo ia i mea paʻakikī ke hoʻopaʻa pono iā ia a e neʻe kona kumu one i lalo o ka pali. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi ʻole o nā hemahema? ʻAʻohe ʻala mauʻu hou i ʻoki ʻia, ʻaʻole palupalu e like me ka mea maoli a ʻaʻohe hana ʻoki mauʻu e hoʻomāinoino ai i nā ʻōpio.
He mea lanakila no ke kaiapuni?
Ma ka ʻaoʻao maikaʻi, hoʻopau ka mauʻu hoʻopunipuni i ka nui o ka hoʻopau mau ʻana i nā lau nahele pōloli: ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wai, ka hoʻoulu ʻana a me ka mana ʻoki mauʻu, no ka laʻana. Akā he huahana plastik ia e hilinaʻi nei i ka ʻaila no kāna hana ʻana. A ʻaʻole ia e hāʻawi i ka biodiversity o kahi lau nahele ola. Eia nō naʻe, ke hoʻomohala ʻia nei nā mauʻu hou e hoʻohana ana i nā ʻōmole hana hou ʻia no kā lākou mea nui.
Ka manawa hoʻouna: Mei-28-2024
