Gardening: Conserving Water

Anyone who has seen recently the Sea of Galilee, must have noticed the sad state and not for nothing, opened recently the relevant government ministries, a huge campaign, calling the public to save water. The various municipalities and local councils, noticed the phenomenon of waste valuable asset recently raised water rates significantly reduced, the assumptions made for gardens. One of the great water-eating, is the green grass, that we meet, gardens, playing fields, soccer fields, roadside interchanges. Therefore, the water shortage in the country, leading the dealers in gardening, to search for different solutions as a substitute for grass and one of the most efficient alternatives, expanding recently, is the use of artificial grass – synthetic, made of different plastic materials. Many soccer fields, planted, re-covered with grass ‘fixed’. Many municipalities use a plastic grass carpet, the separation between roads and playgrounds and even a number of private houses with gardens, this solution gradually pass. It should be remembered that beyond the huge savings in water, even minimal care maintenance costs. But like everything in life, wherever there are benefits, too, naturally have a few drawbacks. Artificial grass and its own advantages, but also some drawbacks. Achabmadsah not natural, artificial lawn is not the same pleasant excess moisture evaporation process, causing both to reduce the temperature in the garden, unable to meet the important process of gas exchange of photosynthesis, we lack a sense of softness and sitting and also guided the pleasant smell with the mowing and rising material prices is modest at all, depending on the quality of the grass.

Some argue that for the water savings should preferably assume that grass and even at the cost of global environment, that in addition to saving water and fertilizer and pesticides, were spared many hours fixed for mowing. Arguments offered by advocates of: grass is always ready to use and makes the garden look is always consistent and tidy, not avoided rain groundwater seepage as paved surfaces. Another advantage of these discounted carpets, you can always change your mind. Although the economic cost expensive, but still more than just pick up the carpets and gravel than paved surfaces or break Yatsuki concrete. However, opponents argue passionately, how we have changed the nature? After all, artificial vegetation transition here is no longer far. Ecologically, any extra heating in areas such as the Mediterranean basin is an injustice to the environment and above all, use the grass ‘fixed’ lost sense of connection to nature, gardening is really for her all her years levels. Shimon Hemo-old resident of Gan Yavne and CEO of Simple Green, which specializes in manufacturing and distribution of synthetic grass, artificial grass can see almost only advantages: “depletion of water reserves requires each of us to examine the ways you can reduce water consumption. One way that is beyond the artificial turf, which provides fresh green shows his water consumption of course is zero. In recent years, has over the synthetic grass soccer fields, urban gardens, private gardens and traffic islands. Even the Bahai Gardens in Haifa, one of the world’s spectacular landscaping projects, select the artificial grass to cover part of the famous rebel Caramel and visitors find it difficult to identify which is natural grass and some artificial. Water consumption is one of the major considerations transition synthetic grass, but not the only one. No artificial grass needed mowing, fertilizer or spraying. Is not growing weed growth and does not constitute a cushion of ants and other insects. Artificial grass keeps the texture and prevents the embarrassing appearance of baldness or dry areas. Rain in the artificial grass with no mud quickly drained annoying infected feet. Nor did he in danger of being freezing cold and frost days, as they were last winter. Cleaning the artificial grass is simple and easy way with a water hose or blower.
