What can be cooked from squid: quick and tasty

All owners of their own home or suburban area dream of making garden and construction works... One of the popular ways to simplify the process of arranging the territory, as well as the design of artificial reservoirs, and other important landscape works will be the use of geotextiles. This material is safe, environmentally friendly, and is widely used in the garden and vegetable garden. We propose to consider the advantages of agrofibre, features and methods of its operation on the site.

There are several technologies for the production of raw materials - woven and non-woven geotextiles, based on which it is classified:

• Needle punched nonwoven. Its manufacture consists in pulling the fixing threads through the warp using serrated needles. This material guarantees strength, excellent water permeability. Needle-punched geotextiles have found application in the formation of drainage.
• Thermally bonded nonwoven. The production of the material consists in the heat treatment of the canvas. During its execution, the fibers are melted, their rigid adhesion to each other. Such raw materials are durable, but have more reduced filtration qualities.

Due to its own properties, Dornit geotextiles have found application in construction, gardening, and other areas of the suburban area arrangement. It should also be understood that the material is divided by density - from 80 to 600 g per m². The scope of use of raw materials also depends on this indicator. For example, the most popular application of geotextiles is 100, 150 g / m2, 200 g / m2. These nonwoven fabrics are lightweight, they are actively used as a filtering material in drainage systems, to protect the territory from weeds, and arrange different paths.

Nonwoven fabric with medium density - from 200 to 350 is actively used to protect the soil from erosion, separate soil layers, and strengthen the earth. A dense type of material - from 350 to 600 - is actively used as cushions in geomembranes to equip dams, pools, coastal zones.

Benefits of using geotextiles in garden design

The use of geotextiles, in many ways, depends on its characteristics. The special technology of creating the material guarantees several advantages of the raw material:

• High level of environmental friendliness. The canvases are not subject to decomposition into chemical elements, so they do not harm human health and nature.
• Strength. Nonwoven fabrics are resistant to deformation, mechanical flaws, piercing and tearing loads. This eliminates damage to the material during installation.
• Resistance to factors the environment... The canvases do not die, do not rot, do not silt, they are very resistant to ultraviolet rays, acids different types, alkalis, organic substances.
• Ease of installation. Raw materials are sold in the form of small and light rolls, so they are extremely convenient to transport, cut with a knife or scissors.
• Low price policy... The material will become an ideal ratio of price and quality, therefore it is actively used in industrial construction, for household needs.

The wide field of operation makes the purpose and application of geotextiles a universal solution to many problems.

The use of road geotextiles on your site

Since this material is actively used in road construction, a popular area is the use of geotextiles for garden paths... The canvases allow the layers to be separated in order to reduce the level of stress on the base of the structure. Also, such raw materials - perfect solution if necessary, perform soil reinforcement, which is especially important when elevated level moisture.
Arranging garden paths, you can profitably use another property of the canvas - to prevent the crushed stone from being pressed, thereby guaranteeing more high level seals. In addition, thanks to the use of raw materials, it will be possible to achieve the following results:

• reduce the cost of purchasing sand or gravel;
• reduce the time of the construction process;
• reduce the level of costs for further maintenance of the parking lot or garden path.

Also agrofibers are actively used for the formation of open adjoining areas, the formation of rocky gardens. Thanks to this material, it will be possible to create beautiful patio areas, divide and build all kinds of embankments, and strengthen surfaces. The creation of playgrounds in suburban areas cannot be imagined without the exploitation of agrofibre.

Application of geotextiles in landscape design- solution to many problems. For example, when ennobling a plot on low-fertile lands, there is always a need to increase the upper yield layer. In order to prevent it from being washed out, agrofibre is spread under the ground.

You cannot do without this canvas even with sharp frosts in spring, in order to protect plants from temperature changes. Having covered the plantings with agrofibre, you don't have to worry about their full development. It will also save the material in the summer, they cover the delicate leaves of vegetable or flower crops in order to keep them from scorching ultraviolet rays.

Application of non-woven geotextile in waterproofing of reservoirs

Various artificial reservoirs are popular when creating an original landscape of the territory. When forming miniature reservoirs or large ponds, you cannot do without special waterproofing work.
During the construction of such water elements, the bottom of the pit is lined with a layer of sand or gravel, and then agrofibre is placed there. This guarantees reliable protection waterproofing layer from stones, other decorative elements that will be used to decorate reservoirs.

Greening the roof - another option for using geotextiles in the country

Green roofs are very popular in summer cottages. To make them, you cannot do without non-woven fabrics. Agrofibre is used to separate layers. It fits between the humus and the drainage layer.

Also, nonwoven fabrics are used to form inverted roofs. They prevent the ingress of loading material and insulation between the located plates.

Formation of foundations and drainage systems

Any building is erected on a reliable and solid foundation. For example, the concrete look of the foundation often suffers from groundwater. To improve monolithic foundations, a thermally bonded type of raw material is used.
It not only guarantees high-quality drainage properties, but also separates the layers, does not allow prolonged contact between moisture and the concrete surface. In the construction of drainage systems, needle-punched material is also often used. With its help, soft drainage is created, it is also used to create sewer systems for a private house.

As you can see, the use of geotextiles can solve several problems in landscape design at once. Agrofibre will simplify the process of arranging the site, help fight weeds, become an excellent drainage and protect crops from bad weather.

New tools and materials are invented every year for use on garden plots. Most of the new products do not take root in garden plots, but some are very useful. One of these new products is geotextile or geotextile.

Geotextile is synthetic material that does not decompose in the ground. It was invented and began to be used in the creation of roads and footpaths.

You have probably observed more than once in cities how the tiles on the sidewalks begin to sag. This is due to the fact that the soil was poorly compacted before laying the tiles, or a gully formed from melt water... In these places, the tile sags.

This phenomenon can be avoided by using geotextiles when laying tiles. It is laid on the ground at the location of the track. Crushed stone is poured on top, then another layer of geotextile, then sand or cement-sand mixture and then tiles are laid.

How load balancing works. If the tile is laid without geotextiles, then when walking along one line, the soil gradually settles along this line and the tile sags.

In the case of using geotextiles, the load when walking along one line will no longer fall on the ground, but primarily on the entire geofabric. But from above, the entire mass of rubble and tiles presses on the canvas. Therefore, along the walking line, geotextiles cannot push through the soil. Because the entire mass of crushed stone, tiles, people and machines is relatively evenly distributed over the entire web and, accordingly, evenly presses on the ground.

Accordingly, the # 1 application of geotextiles in the garden area.

Lay it down when arranging paths, recreation areas, parking lots. Moreover, use it not only when laying tiles, but also if you have a coating in the form of crushed stone, screenings, pebbles, ASG, etc. At the same time, your paths and platforms will be smooth for a long time.

Application # 2 - geotextiles can be used as walkways themselves. Level the ground on the paths and cover it with geotextile. In this case, the grass on the paths will not grow and it will be clean on them during the rains.

In the photo - on the left, the path is overgrown with grass, on the right, the path is closed with a geotextile - there is no grass.

In the Novosibirsk center of natural agriculture "Shining", we tested four types of geotextiles for five years.

Most of all we liked the imported geotextile. Strong, durable, aesthetic material. I liked everything, except for the price, which is three times higher than domestic counterparts.

The second type - nonwoven geotextile - did not impress us. We closed the paths for them and in the first year everything was fine, only he did not let the water pass well and it stood in puddles for a long time after the rains. The next year, holes formed in this geofabric, into which grass began to germinate. And in the third year, this type of geotextile collapsed completely.

The third type - needle-punched geotextile brand "D" - we also put it on the paths. After the season of operation, we refused to use it for covering the ground. This geotextile white and therefore the stains of dirt on it are conspicuous. Also, the white material distracts attention from the plants - "hits the eyes". And, most importantly, when walking, holes are wiped in the material and grass grows in them. Moreover, this geotextile has a fibrous structure, and when roots and stems of grass are woven into the fibers, then they cannot be torn out of there.

But this geotextile turned out to be the most the best material for shelter for the winter plants. We closed them European roses, rhododendrons in the fall, conifers, thuja, blueberries. All the plants perfectly survived the hefty Siberian frosts and in the spring they quickly began to grow.

The fourth type is woven polypropylene geotextile of the "T" grade. He has been closing the tracks for four years. During this time, despite the intense walking on it, this type of geotextile was completely preserved and was not damaged. Grass and weeds do not germinate through it. It allows water to pass through and during rains and irrigation there are no puddles on the paths. This brand of geotextile has a fairly reasonable cost and therefore it can be widely used in garden plots.

The only disadvantage of this geofabric is that it gradually creeps into fibers, the edges begin to "fringe". However, this can be easily avoided by doing two technological operations... After cutting off a piece of geotextile, its edges must be melted over a fire (candle, gas burner). Then turn the edge to a width of 3-5 cm. That is, the edge will be double and then lay the geotextile on the ground and attach to it. As a result of these simple measures, the geotextile will no longer creep into fibers. If there is filling on top of the geotextile, then these operations do not need to be done.

How we fix geotextiles.

The first option, you have wooden borders installed on the beds. In this case, you attach the geotextile to the tree with staples using a construction stapler.

The second option, the geotextile must be anchored to the ground. In this case, lay it on the ground, having previously melted and tucked the edges. The pieces are joined with an overlap of 5-10 cm. In the overlap areas, place washers for fixing the thermal insulation (without a dowel) and hammer a building nail 200 mm long into the central hole with a hammer. Place the washers every 50-70 cm.

The third option, you have a place for the beds, but they have not been made yet. Cover the entire area under the garden with geotextiles. On top, put the borders of the beds from boards or galvanized and fasten them to the ground. Inside the beds, cut out geotextiles with an indent of 5-7 cm from the curbs and fill in the soil mixture from above .. At the joints of the pieces of geotextile on the paths, fasten them with washers as described in option 2. If you will make decorative filling on top of the geotextile, then fastening with washers is not necessary.

Additional application of geotextiles.

Protection of wood curbs from moisture.

If you fenced raised (high) beds with board curbs, they will rot where they touch the ground. To avoid this, it is necessary to protect the wood from rotting. The usual impregnation with an antiseptic will not help for long. It is also impossible to protect the board with plastic wrap from the inside. Because if moisture (rain, watering) gets into the space between the film and the boards, the wood will rot faster. Because the moisture has nowhere to go, except in the wood itself.

If geotextiles are attached to the boards from the inside, then a thin air gap will form between it and the boards. Ventilation will go through it, and excess moisture will drain into the ground through geotextiles.

Geotextile is fastened to the boards with staples using a construction stapler.

Protecting the slopes of the organic trench from grass.

One way to quickly create fertile soil in your garden beds is by making organic trenches. Trenches are dug in place of the beds, they are filled with organic residues, to which the microbiological preparation "Shining-3" is added. Organic matter quickly, in 1.5-3 months, rotts and the trenches are filled with fertile compost. Further, any garden crops are grown in them.

But when building organic trenches, two side effects: when walking along the paths, the edges of the trench crumble and lawn or meadow grass from the paths actively penetrates into the compost.

These side effects can be avoided as follows. We make paths between the trenches 70-90 cm wide. We cover them with geotextiles, the edges of which should hang in the trenches and reach their bottom.

We attach it to the ground with electrodes bent in the form of the letter "P". In place of the beds, we install curbs made of boards or galvanized so that they protrude 10-15 cm beyond the edge of the trenches onto the paths. After that, fill the trenches with organic residues or a soil mixture of earth with compost.

The curbs will keep them from coming close to the edges of the trench and they will not crumble. Geotextiles will prevent grass from growing on the paths. At the top of the path, you can pave the dump.

Shelter of plants.

You can use geotextiles to temporarily shelter plants from frost at night. It will protect your plants from more severe frosts than conventional covering material or plastic wrap.

You can use geotextiles to temporarily shelter the planted seedlings from the sun. If you planted seedlings in hot weather, they may dry out in the sun. Experiments have shown that covering the planted seedlings with black materials (geotextiles, pots, boxes) improve their adaptation to new conditions. To hide the plants, place arcs over them and throw geotextiles over them. The ends of the tunnel do not need to be closed, through which the plants will be illuminated by diffused light. Geotextiles can be removed in 5-7 days.

Similarly, we shelter roses from the sun. It often happens when gardeners come to a garden plot in the spring and see that the shoots of roses have turned black. They think the roses are frozen in winter. This is not so - the roses just burned in the bright spring sun. Because of this, there are many cases when the snow has melted, gardeners see green shoots of roses and are happy about it. And a week later they come and see that the shoots have turned black. This is just the action of the sun, not frost. Therefore, in the spring, seedlings must be covered from the sun until several leaves are blooming.

We tried to close the roses different ways- covering material, as well as geotextiles of various brands. Winter shelter It is better to make roses with geotextile of brand "D", and spring from the sun with geotextile of brand "T". Under it, roses are best preserved and begin to grow faster. Apparently this is due to the fact that the black geofabric heats up better in the sun and the roses are in the mini-greenhouse.

Drainage systems.

With the use of geotextile, it is not at all necessary to make concrete or plastic drainage wells or trenches, as well as lay pipes. It is enough to dig a well or a trench, close its bottom and walls with geotextiles, cover them with gravel or rubble, close them with geotextiles and fill them with soil. And your drainage system will drain water perfectly.

The device of reservoirs.

Geotextiles are laid at the bottom of the pit of the reservoir under the waterproofing material to protect it from possible mechanical damage from foreign objects in the ground (nail, root, sharp stone, glass, etc.). It is much easier and cheaper to put geotextiles than to look for the place of damage to the waterproofing and glue it later.

Arrangement of lawns.

Geotextiles are laid in place of the lawn on the local depleted soil. Imported fertile soil is poured on top. It is carefully tamped down and lawn grass seeds are sown. Thanks to the geotextile, the soil under the lawn will be level all the time, and the fertile soil will not mix with the depleted one.

Strengthening the base for the foundation.

Geotextiles are laid under strip foundation or a monolithic slab for leveling the load on heaving soils.

Restricting plant growth.

If fruit and ornamental trees, berry bushes are planted in the lawn or sod, then it is necessary to prevent the penetration of grass roots into the fertile soil. landing pit... For this, the vertical edges of the pit are wrapped in geotextiles.

Application as a technical fabric.

You can cover things and shelves from dust in utility rooms with geotextiles. There is an experience of temporary closure of the space under the house on screw piles.

New technologies are being introduced into all areas of our life. Creation of new products should simplify, facilitate many processes or make them of high quality. These include geotextiles. It is recognized as a new universal material for wide application. Used in construction, mechanical engineering, road construction. At the dacha, they are used for landscaping. The term "geotextile" refers to a fabric, the use of which prevents mixing of soil layers and erosion of it.

The material is made from synthetic fibers or threads.

Types and characteristics

Geotextiles can be woven (made using a needle-punched method) and non-woven (fibers are glued or fused). Depending on the production method, the characteristics of the canvas are slightly different.

Needle-punched geotextiles are very moisture and air permeable, but they are not the strongest in terms of strength. Suitable for gardening and horticulture, arrangement of flower beds. Non-woven material is stronger, it is used where there will be a lot of pressure on it: for the construction of roads, sites, reservoirs.

In Russia, knitted geotextiles are also produced - the interlacing of the threads is looped. This also explains its disadvantage: if the fastening thread is damaged, it immediately dissolves, like any knitted thing. It is cheaper than other types of geotextiles.

Basic material properties

• durable, will last at least 25 years;
• resistant to weather conditions: tolerates frost down to -60 ° C and heating up to + 100 ° C;
• resistant to a chemical aggressive environment (in water and soil there are a lot of different chemical compounds to which geotextiles are neutral);
• does not rot, fungi, mold are not afraid of him;
• it is not interesting for rodents and insects;
• lasting. Withstands heavy loads, resistant to tears, mechanical damage;
• very stretchable, difficult to tear. When laying, gaps are excluded;
• roots do not grow through it;
• does not decompose;
• passes water and air;
• does not let in sunlight;
• pores are not clogged with soil;
• easy to use. Sold in rolls, they are small and lightweight, i.e. there are no problems with transportation. Easy to cut with scissors;
• affordable.

The video tells about the use of geotextiles in the country:

Geotextile is an almost universal canvas. Its new types appear, which only increase the range of use of the material. It began to be used more and more actively in a private courtyard for a variety of purposes.

Application

Geotextile in the country is used for:

• weed protection;
• creation of paths, parking lots, playgrounds;
• improvement drainage system;
• landscape design. It is necessary for the creation of artificial reservoirs, dry streams, alpine slides, stone gardens.
• arrangement of play areas;
• limiting root growth to the sides. Used for shrubs and trees. This is how paths and decorative structures are protected from destruction by rhizomes;
• arrangement of sandboxes. For this, he also required material: sand is not trampled or mixed with the ground.

Drainage

Geotextiles must be used when arranging the drainage system on the site. It will easily let water through, but retain soil particles. Then they will not clog up, silt up drainage layer and drainage pipes.

Paths and parking

There are paths on each site. And by equipping them, the owners want them to last longer. But the layers of crushed stone and sand are mixed, sagging, irregularities, depressions or bumps appear on the paths. And weeds make their way both through the asphalt and in the seams between the slabs. Everything changes with the use of geotextiles: with it, paths and platforms will be smooth and comfortable.

Geotextile prevents the penetration of rubble and sand into the ground. is produced as follows. When arranging a track or platform, remove the soil to a depth of 20-50 cm (depending on the planned load). Cover the bottom and walls with this material so that its edges protrude 10 centimeters above the ground level. Rubble is poured onto the canvas and leveled. The top is covered with a second layer of geotextile. At the joints of the canvas, an overlap of at least 30 cm must be laid, so that sand does not get into the crushed stone.

Then sand is poured (10 cm thick). And then you can already put paving slabs or a stone using traditional technology. The coating will last for many years without changes.

The video shows the use of geotextiles in landscape design:

In addition, the use of geotextiles will reduce the cost of bulk material, because gravel, crushed stone, sand do not penetrate into the ground.

Arrangement of artificial reservoirs

When an artificial reservoir is equipped, its bottom and walls are covered with waterproofing material. Often such self-made ponds are fenced off. To protect this material from mechanical damage (punctures, cuts, breakthroughs), geotextiles or butyl rubber film must also be put on top of it. you can see the prices.

In the garden and vegetable garden

Geotextile will help increase the yield, for example, they shelter plants from off-season frosts, and on hot summer days - from the scorching sun. Almost anything can be grown with it! There are plants that require a special soil composition. For them, with the help of geotextiles, you can equip special "pockets". Having selected part of the soil from a certain area, lay the material and pour the soil with the desired composition on top, plant the plants in it. Layers of earth will not mix, roots will not grow through the fiber.

Geotextile will facilitate agricultural work:

• he will win the battle against the weeds! For this, the soil is covered with cloth and plants (for example, strawberries) are planted in the holes made in it. water passes, along with it all fertilizers will go to the roots, but there will be no weeds. No need for weeding! Weeds can grow at the seams between the canvases, so you need to overlap the material up to 30 cm.
• There is no need to loosen the soil! The porous structure of the tissue allows water to penetrate through it to the roots of plants. Full air exchange is also provided. At the same time, moisture is distributed micro-dropletly and the soil is not compacted due to this.

The spheres of application of geotextiles are varied, because material is universal. Stone gardens, dry streams wooden terraces, playgrounds, gardens and vegetable gardens, paths and parking lots - these are not all the possibilities of using such fabric!

The owners of suburban areas are increasingly using wide rolls of geotextile when arranging the territory. What kind of material is this and for what purposes is it used? Let's try to figure it out. The nonwoven fabric, made from interwoven synthetic polymer fibers, has excellent quality characteristics: it is resistant to wear and decay. Thanks to optimal combination characteristics of geotextiles are convenient to use in many areas of human activity: in land management, in the field of construction, landscape design.

• Needle-punched geotextile- is created by pulling fastening threads through the warp with a serrated needle. It has excellent strength and excellent water permeability, which makes it widely used in drainage systems.
• Thermally bonded geotextile- is made under the action of heat treatment of the canvas, in which synthetic fibers are melted and more rigidly bonded to each other. It has a dense structure, high tensile strength, but lower filtration properties.

Thanks to a special manufacturing technology, geotextiles have a number of indisputable advantages, the main ones being:

• Environmental friendliness. Geotextiles are not subject to decomposition into chemical constituents, thereby not harming human health and the environment.
• Strength. The nonwoven material is resistant to mechanical damage, puncture and tearing loads. The significant elongation of the material to break, which occurs due to the infinite length of the threads, practically excludes damage during installation.
• Resistant to environmental influences. It does not melt, does not silt and does not rot, it is resistant to ultraviolet light, acids, alkalis and organic substances.
• Ease of installation. The material is produced in the form of small and light rolls, which are convenient to transport and, if necessary, sawn in half with a regular hand saw... It is convenient to cut the material itself during use with a knife or scissors.
• Cost effective. With excellent quality characteristics, the cost of geotextiles is quite low, due to which they are widely used both in industrial construction and for domestic needs when arranging suburban areas.

The possibilities of using the material amaze with the versatility of agrofibre. At the same time, with the release of new brands of geotextiles, the range of use of the material is constantly growing.

Geotextile is one of the environmentally friendly materials: it does not form any by-products under the influence of ultraviolet radiation

Thermally bonded geotextiles are used in road construction, agriculture, for strengthening the slopes and banks of reservoirs

How can geotextiles be applied on the site?

Geotextile allows you to implement any ideas of geo-plastic transformation of the landscape on the site. Using non-woven material, you can create new design compositions, transforming appearance plot.

Option # 1 - improve the quality of garden paths

It is difficult to imagine a site without winding paths running deep into the garden. When planning their arrangement, you always want the result to be a beautiful and functional element of landscape design that will regularly serve for more than one season.

The use of agrofibre allows you to preserve the decorative effect and extend the service life. After all, even a device on a section of a small path requires a lot of trouble: excavation, backfilling of the underlying "cushion", laying of the coating itself. But during operation, when layers of gravel or sand gradually sink into the ground, depressions, bumps and irregularities begin to appear on the surface of the track.

A geotextile layer between the soil and the gravel bed allows for an even load distribution and prevents mixing of layers

It is convenient to use non-woven material when arranging sandy paths, gravel sites. The geotextile sandwiched between the soil and the backfill optimizes compaction so that the backfill will hardly penetrate the ground. This will significantly reduce the consumption of bulk material - and therefore the overall savings. In addition, the canvas will facilitate the rapid outflow of water and prevent the germination of weeds and grasses. In swampy and soft areas of the ground, non-woven material will completely perform the function of a durable reinforcement.

Option # 2 - waterproofing artificial reservoirs

When making a children's sandbox, so that the sand does not trample into the ground and does not mix with the ground, it is only necessary to cover the bottom of the pit with a layer of geotextile

Option # 4 - arrangement of foundations and retaining walls

The strength and durability of any building directly depends on the reliability of its foundation. If we talk about concrete types of foundations, then capillary wetting causes considerable damage. groundwater... Thermally bonded geotextiles help improve the waterproofing of a monolithic foundation.

When arranging foundations, geotextiles are used to separate fine-grained soil and gravel filling in order to prevent mixing of layers, and at the same time capillary wetting of walls

The material can simultaneously perform two functions: to separate layers and provide effective drainage, preventing prolonged contact of the surface of the concrete base with moisture.

Option # 5 - roof greening

By planting cultivated plants in the holes made in the canvas, you provide the plants with comfortable conditions for development, and you save yourself from laborious weeding

It's no secret that many ornamental plants Are "finicky" by nature. They require special care, preferring a special soil composition, which often differs from the soil prevailing in the area.

Demarcate different types fertile soils, creating impromptu "pockets" for planting certain varieties, you can use the same geotextile

The creation of an artificial landscape on depleted soils requires the arrangement of a fertile layer, which, under the influence of natural conditions, is washed out into thinner layers. An additional layer of canvas will prevent contamination of infertile soils and their washout. Thanks to the non-woven fabric, plant roots will not grow into infertile soils.

Interseasonal night frosts also pose a great danger to plants. The material will also help out in the hot summer months, covering the delicate foliage from the scorching sun's rays.

With the help of agrofibre, aerial parts of plants can also be protected. To do this, during a cold snap, it is enough to cover them with a canvas.

Geotextile is a versatile material, the use of which does not require special skills. Its use greatly simplifies gardening and landscaping work.

(19 estimates, average: 4,18 out of 5)

Geofabric is a building material that is made in the form of a solid or woven fabric of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester or other polymer substance. Geofiber found wide application in landscape design, arrangement of pedestrian paths, transport routes and communications, gardening and other fields of land use.

Applications

Density of the canvas

The key parameter of geotextiles is density. It affects what kind of load the material can withstand and, accordingly, its purpose. Conventionally, canvases are divided into three types:

Application in the country

Garden geotextiles are used in cases where the composition of the soil does not allow growing cultivated plants in it. The upper layer of alkaline or acidic earth is removed, a geomembrane is spread and covered with a layer of fertile soil. The sealing property of the material does not allow plant roots to come into contact with unsuitable soil, due to which they develop normally.

The use of geotextiles is also justified to protect crops from pest birds. The pores of the film allow water to pass through and allow the earth to breathe, while it has sufficient transparency so that the seedlings receive the right amount of heat and light from the sun. When the plants sprout the geomembrane is removed... On summer cottage greenhouses and hotbeds are made with the help of film. Due to its tightness, it retains heat well and protects plants from frost. With reliable fixation, it is not afraid of sudden gusts of wind, and if you choose the right thickness of the sheets, then suddenly snow falls.

Due to its heat-insulating property, the material is used to protect garden plants- trees and beds are wrapped with it, protecting them from bad weather. Sometimes the root system of shrubs and trees is covered with a film - it retains moisture and does not allow the soil to dry out.

Garden path geotextiles prevent surface erosion and weed growth. This path turns out to be smooth and neat. More material can be used to create artificial reservoirs and fountains- they line the bottom and seal communications.

The microporous membrane can be used to organize drainage and filtration fields - it prevents soil erosion and distributes water evenly over the surface. The use of material for this purpose is very justified, because it is not afraid of moisture, mechanical stress, the effects of rodents and insects. You can put the material on either side.

Dornit can be used for drainage - an invention of domestic scientists. This is a needle-punched geosynthetics that does not act as part of the drainage system, but itself is a full-fledged drainage layer. It is laid on a prepared area and covered with gravel or sand in accordance with the instructions for creating drainage.

Special tools and skills are not required to work with geotextiles. Any complex shape can be cut using an ordinary clerical knife. The material is relatively lightweight and therefore easy to transport. Before purchasing geotextile for a specific type of work, find out its characteristics - it must be of the appropriate thickness.

Characteristics affecting cost

1. Density. The higher the density, the higher the price.
2. Type of. Standard geotextiles will be cheaper than with additional additives that improve its properties.
3. The quality of the raw materials. Sheets made of polymer monofilament will cost more than those made from waste from other industries.

Laying rules

Geotextiles are laid on a flat, previously prepared surface. The sheets are overlapped on top of each other - this increases their consumption. An alternative way of joining is welding or stitching joints. The material is fixed to the soil using anchors - they are inserted every 1.5-2 running meters of the canvas. This measure increases the wind resistance and low tension of the material.

In stores, geotextiles are sold in rolls with a width of 2 to 12 m and a web length of 2-150 m. As you can see, this is a universal material - its use in everyday life and construction is unlimited. Owner garden plot he himself can be smart and use the material where necessary. The main thing here is to choose the right type of material based on its characteristics.
