Mackenzie Nichols ndi wolemba wodziyimira pawokha wodziwa bwino nkhani za ulimi ndi zosangalatsa. Iye ndi katswiri wolemba za zomera zatsopano, zochitika za ulimi, malangizo ndi machenjerero a ulimi, zochitika za zosangalatsa, Mafunso ndi Mayankho ndi atsogoleri mumakampani osangalatsa ndi ulimi, komanso zochitika m'gulu la anthu masiku ano. Ali ndi zaka zoposa 5 zokumana nazo polemba nkhani m'mabuku akuluakulu.
Mwina munawonapo malo obiriwira awa, otchedwa thovu la maluwa kapena oases, m'makonzedwe a maluwa kale, ndipo mwina munagwiritsa ntchito nokha kuti maluwa azikhala pamalo awo. Ngakhale thovu la maluwa lakhalapo kwa zaka makumi ambiri, kafukufuku waposachedwa wa sayansi wasonyeza kuti mankhwalawa akhoza kuwononga chilengedwe. Makamaka, amagawika kukhala ma microplastics, omwe angadetse magwero a madzi ndikuvulaza zamoyo zam'madzi. Kuphatikiza apo, fumbi lokhala ndi thovu lingayambitse mavuto opuma kwa anthu. Pazifukwa izi, zochitika zazikulu za maluwa monga Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show ndi Slow Flower Summit zasiya kugwiritsa ntchito thovu la maluwa. M'malo mwake, ogulitsa maluwa akutembenukira kwambiri ku njira zina zopangira thovu la maluwa. Nayi chifukwa chake muyenera kuchitanso izi, ndi zomwe mungagwiritse ntchito m'malo mwa mapangidwe a maluwa.
Thovu la maluwa ndi chinthu chopepuka, chonyowa chomwe chingaikidwe pansi pa miphika ndi ziwiya zina kuti apange maziko opangira maluwa. Rita Feldman, yemwe anayambitsa Sustainable Flower Network ku Australia, anati: “Kwa nthawi yayitali, ogulitsa maluwa ndi ogula ankaona thovu lobiriwira lofookali ngati chinthu chachilengedwe.”
Zopangidwa ndi thovu lobiriwira sizinapangidwe poyamba kuti zigwiritsidwe ntchito pokonza maluwa, koma Vernon Smithers wa ku Smithers-Oasis adazipatsa chilolezo chogwiritsa ntchito izi m'zaka za m'ma 1950. Feldmann akunena kuti Oasis Floral Foam inatchuka mwachangu ndi akatswiri okongoletsa maluwa chifukwa "ndi yotsika mtengo kwambiri komanso yosavuta kugwiritsa ntchito. Mumangoidula, kuiviika m'madzi, ndikuyika tsinde lake mmenemo." M'zidebe, zidebezi zimakhala zovuta kuzigwira popanda maziko olimba a maluwa. "Kupanga kwake kunapangitsa kuti zokongoletsa maluwa zikhale zosavuta kuzipeza kwa okonza maluwa osadziwa zambiri omwe sankatha kupeza mitengo kuti ikhale komwe akufuna," akuwonjezera.
Ngakhale thovu la maluwa limapangidwa kuchokera ku zinthu zodziwika bwino monga formaldehyde, mankhwala ochepa okha ndi omwe amangotsala mu chinthu chomalizidwa. Vuto lalikulu ndi thovu la maluwa ndi zomwe zimachitika mukachitaya. Thovu silingathe kubwezeretsedwanso, ndipo ngakhale kuti limatha kuwola, kwenikweni limasweka kukhala tinthu tating'onoting'ono totchedwa microplastics zomwe zitha kukhalabe m'chilengedwe kwa zaka mazana ambiri. Asayansi akuda nkhawa kwambiri ndi zoopsa zomwe zingachitike pa thanzi la anthu ndi zamoyo zina zomwe zimachitika chifukwa cha microplastics mumlengalenga ndi m'madzi.
Mwachitsanzo, kafukufuku wopangidwa ndi RMIT University wofalitsidwa mu 2019 mu Science of the Total Environment adapeza koyamba kuti ma microplastics omwe ali mu thovu la maluwa amakhudza zamoyo zam'madzi. Ofufuzawo adapeza kuti ma microplastics awa ndi oopsa mwakuthupi komanso mwamankhwala ku mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya madzi oyera ndi am'madzi omwe amadya tinthu tating'onoting'ono.
Kafukufuku wina waposachedwa wochitidwa ndi asayansi ku Hull York Medical School adapeza ma microplastics m'mapapo a anthu koyamba. Zotsatira zake zikusonyeza kuti kupuma ma microplastics ndi chinthu chofunikira kwambiri chomwe chimayambitsa kufalikira kwa matendawa. Kuwonjezera pa thovu la maluwa, ma microplastics opangidwa ndi mpweya amapezekanso m'zinthu monga mabotolo, ma phukusi, zovala ndi zodzoladzola. Komabe, sizikudziwika bwino momwe ma microplastics amenewa amakhudzira anthu ndi nyama zina.
Mpaka kafukufuku wina atalonjeza kuti adzawunikira zambiri za kuopsa kwa thovu la maluwa ndi magwero ena a mapulasitiki ang'onoang'ono, akatswiri a maluwa monga Tobey Nelson wa Tobey Nelson Events + Design, LLC akuda nkhawa ndi kupuma fumbi lomwe limapangidwa pogwiritsa ntchito mankhwalawa. Ngakhale Oasis imalimbikitsa akatswiri a maluwa kuvala zophimba nkhope akamagwira ntchito ndi zinthuzi, ambiri satero. "Ndikungoyembekezera kuti patatha zaka 10 kapena 15 sadzatcha kuti foamy lung syndrome kapena china chake monga momwe migodi imakhalira ndi matenda a black lung disease," adatero Nelson.
Kutaya thovu la maluwa moyenera kungathandize kwambiri popewa kuipitsidwa kwa mpweya ndi madzi kuchokera ku mapulasitiki ang'onoang'ono. Feldmann akunena kuti mu kafukufuku wa akatswiri olima maluwa omwe adachitika ndi Sustainable Floristry Network, 72 peresenti ya omwe amagwiritsa ntchito thovu la maluwa adavomereza kuti adalitaya mu ngalande maluwawo atafota, ndipo 15 peresenti adati adawonjezera m'munda wawo. Kuphatikiza apo, "thovu la maluwa limalowa m'malo achilengedwe m'njira zosiyanasiyana: kukwiriridwa ndi mabokosi, kudzera m'madzi m'miphika, ndikusakanikirana ndi maluwa m'zinyalala zobiriwira, minda ndi manyowa," adatero Feldman.
Ngati mukufuna kubwezeretsanso thovu la maluwa, akatswiri amavomereza kuti ndi bwino kulitaya m'malo otayira zinyalala kusiyana ndi kulitaya mu ngalande kapena kuliyika mu manyowa kapena zinyalala za pabwalo. Feldman akulangiza kutsanulira madzi okhala ndi thovu la maluwa, "kuthira mu nsalu yolimba, monga pilo yakale, kuti mugwire thovu lochuluka momwe mungathere."
Ogulitsa maluwa angakonde kugwiritsa ntchito thovu la maluwa chifukwa cha kudziwika kwake komanso kusavuta kwake, akutero Nelson. "Inde, n'kovuta kukumbukira thumba logulitsira zakudya lomwe lingagwiritsidwenso ntchito m'galimoto," akutero. "Koma tonsefe tiyenera kusiya malingaliro oti zinthu ziyende bwino ndikukhala ndi tsogolo lokhazikika momwe timagwira ntchito molimbika pang'ono ndikuchepetsa mphamvu zathu padziko lapansi." Nelson adawonjezera kuti ogulitsa maluwa ambiri sangazindikire kuti pali njira zabwinoko.
Oasis yokha tsopano ikupereka chinthu chopangidwa ndi manyowa chotchedwa TerraBrick. Chinthu chatsopanochi "chopangidwa kuchokera ku ulusi wa kokonati wochokera ku zomera, wongowonjezedwanso, wachilengedwe komanso chomangira manyowa." Monga Oasis Floral Foam, TerraBricks imayamwa madzi kuti maluwa azikhala onyowa komanso kusunga tsinde la maluwa. Zinthu zopangidwa ndi ulusi wa kokonati zimatha kupakidwa manyowa mosamala ndikugwiritsidwa ntchito m'munda. Mtundu wina watsopano ndi Oshun Pouch, womwe unapangidwa mu 2020 ndi CEO wa New Age Floral Kirsten VanDyck. Chikwamacho chimadzazidwa ndi zinthu zopanga manyowa zomwe zimatupa m'madzi ndipo zimatha kupirira ngakhale kupopera kwakukulu kwa bokosi, VanDyck adatero.
Pali njira zina zambiri zothandizira kukonza maluwa, kuphatikizapo achule a maluwa, mipanda ya waya, ndi miyala yokongoletsera kapena mikanda m'mabotolo. Kapena mutha kupanga luso ndi zomwe muli nazo, monga momwe VanDyck adatsimikizira pamene adapanga kapangidwe kake koyamba kokhazikika ka Garden Club. "M'malo mwa thovu la maluwa, ndadula vwende pakati ndikubzala mbalame zingapo za paradaiso mmenemo." Vwende mwachionekere silikhala nthawi yayitali ngati thovu la maluwa, koma ndicho mfundo. VanDyck akuti ndi yabwino kwambiri pa kapangidwe kamene kayenera kukhala tsiku limodzi lokha.
Popeza pali njira zina zambiri zomwe zikupezeka komanso kudziwa za zotsatirapo zoyipa za thovu la maluwa, n'zoonekeratu kuti kugwiritsa ntchito njira ya #nofloralfoam sikophweka. Mwina ndichifukwa chake, pamene makampani opanga maluwa akugwira ntchito kuti akonze kukhazikika kwake konse, TJ McGrath wa TJ McGrath Design amakhulupirira kuti "kuchotsa thovu la maluwa ndi chinthu chofunika kwambiri."
