A Look at the Future of Slope Greening!?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. The other day, I was talking to a landscaping manufacturer. They said, “We’re hardly selling any base materials anymore!!!” which means that the landscaping business has dropped off dramatically. This product, which we used to make specifically for landscaping, has hardly been selling at all lately…
Ways to Implement Erosion Control Measures for Slopes on Private Residences and Similar Properties While Keeping Costs as Low as Possible
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I often get questions from individuals about erosion prevention. We were talking about this very topic just the other day. I think most erosion that occurs on private land is surface erosion. When the grass disappears for some reason, leaving bare ground exposed to the rain…
It seems to me that the significance of vegetation engineering is fading due to climate change over time.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. What do you think of vegetated engineering? I think it’s become much less common lately. Why do you think that is? One reason is maintenance. In an aging society, maintenance…
This is the vegetation stabilization method used in slope engineering.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Landscaping is one aspect of slope construction. The types include: 1. Seed Broadcasting, 2. Seed Spraying (commonly known as “mud spraying”), 3. Vegetation Mat Installation, and 4. Vegetation Substrate Spraying (t=○○ cm). 1. Seed Broadcasting: Seeds (pasture grasses or native species), fertilizer, adhesive, …
The key to preventing initial runoff during vegetation substrate spraying is adhesive!
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When you’re spraying vegetation substrate, you worry about it getting washed away by rain, right? What do you do in situations like that? It’s tough to spray before it rains and get the shoots to stop growing early on, isn’t it? lol In good weather, it can sometimes grow all the way in just one week…
What Is the Difference Between Thick-Layer Substrate Spraying and Vegetation Substrate Spraying?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I saw a question on Yahoo! Answers asking, “What’s the difference between thick-layer substrate spraying and vegetation substrate spraying?” lol. Do any of you know the answer? Well, obviously, they’re exactly the same. Starting about 15 years ago (in 2009), thick-layer substrate…
What criteria should be used to determine the spray thickness on a vegetation substrate?
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I’m sure you’ve all measured soil hardness in vegetation engineering projects before; that measurement is used to determine the spray thickness. I received a question the other day asking, “Isn’t it strange to change the spray thickness for a single site based on soil hardness!?” So, the government agency is looking into the hardness…
Is the seed-blasting method on the verge of extinction!?
Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. It’s scorching hot!! Even with my air-conditioned suit, it’s brutal. And just like every year, my face is getting darker and darker. My face looks like a Chocolate Ball… The other day, I did some seed spraying for the first time in a while. When I posted a video of the seed spraying on Twitter, surprisingly…
The Mat Option | Why Installing Vegetation Mats Is Advantageous in Terms of Warranty Risks
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. There really has been a decline in greening lately, hasn’t there? I haven’t seen any base material at all lol. The real issue is the labor shortage, which leads to maintenance problems, right? As contractors, landscape contractors have a two-year warranty against defects. That’s quite a hurdle, isn’t it? The plants just won’t grow…
