Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mulches for Wind and Water Erosion Control This report deals with procedures for establishing various kinds of protective mulch and for establishing and maintaining permanent vegetation. The word mulch means any substance, such as straw, hay, paper, gravel, organic or inorganic film, brush Spread upon the ground, or produced and killed or allowed to die and left on the ground as a stubble mulch, or formed and left on the ground as a layer of clods or dust, for the purpose of protecting the soil from erosion or the plants from heat, cold, or drought. The limitation on what is called a mulch is not the kind of material from which it is derived but that it be dead when left or placed on the ground. On the other hand, the term permanent vegetation means perennial vegetation such as grasses, shrubs, or trees growing on the land. Perma nent vegetation is a living cover, whereas mulch is a dead cover. A mulch may be tempo rary such as dead vegetation, or permanent such as a layer of stones or gravel. This report includes information on stabilization of level and sloping ground, but not waterways The information was obtained in part from a series of experiments started in 1959 on contract with the Bureau of Yards and Docks, Department of the Navy. Explanations of various research procedures and data pertaining to the contracted series of experiments are contained in other reports 9, A portable wind tunnel was used to determine the effectiveness of the various mulching treatments under field conditions (fig. Limited information also was obtained on the relative effectiveness of some of the treatments against erosion by water. From results of the wind tunnel tests, the wind erosion climatic factor (4) and the universal wind erosion equation (1) were used to estimate the relative quantities of mulch required in various sections of the United States. An effective wind erosion control treatment is considered as one that will resist an 85-mile-per-hour wind as measured at so-foot height.

This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an up-to-date review of research and practice on the use of vegetation for slope stabilization and control of surface erosion caused by water and wind. From a basic understanding of the principles and practices of vegetation growth and establishment, it describes how vegetation can be treated as an engineering material and used to solve erosion and slope stability problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A handbook for organic landscaping and turf management for recreational and commercial properties, public spaces, parks and urban gardens. Can you manage the landscape of a golf course, city park, or corporate campus without synthetic fertilizers and toxic pesticides? Absolutely! Organic landscaping is not only possible on a large scale, but it also makes sense both economically and environmentally. It promotes healthy soils and plants, which require less water and sequester more carbon—a winning combination for both your bottom line and the planet’s fight against resource depletion and global warming. Organic programs on a commercial scale have enormous potential to make a difference in the quality of our environment, our use of fuels, and climate change. And as those who have already converted to organics have discovered, they also cost a lot less over the long term. Organic Management for the Professional is the first comprehensive guide to “going green” in large-scale landscaping. Nationally recognized organic gardening expert Howard Garrett, with associates John Ferguson and Mike Amaranthus, not only explains in detail how to manage projects with natural organic techniques, but also presents the material in clear, simple terms so that commercial and institutional property owners can understand what to ask of their landscape architects, contractors, growers, and maintenance people. They give detailed, proven instructions for the key components of organic landscaping—soil building, correct planting techniques, fertilizing, pest control, compost, and mulch. Then they show how to apply these organic methods in large-scale landscaping, commercial growing, such as orchards, tree farms, nurseries, and greenhouse operations, and recreational properties such as sports fields and parks.
