Is This the End of the Seed-Spreading Trade? Reflections on Current Costs.
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Types and Characteristics of Vegetation Restoration Methods Using Mechanical Seeding Item Seed Dispersal Method Topsoil Spraying Method Vegetation Substrate Spraying Method Construction Method Disperses substrate to a thickness of less than 1 cm using a pump Sprays topsoil to a thickness of 1–3 cm using a pump or gun Sprays vegetation substrate to a thickness of 1–3 cm using a pump or mortar gun…
Reflections on the Future of Vegetation Engineering and Material Selection (Part 4)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. For vegetation restoration projects, there’s a two-year warranty against defects. What this means is that if the vegetation doesn’t take root within those two years, we’ll redo the work at no charge. So, building on the previous three posts, here’s the continuation of that series. Future vegetation…
Reflections on the Future of Vegetation Engineering and Material Selection (Part 3)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. It’s November. Only two months left in the year! It’s getting colder, but let’s keep up the good work! This is a continuation of my previous post. Thinking About the Future of Vegetation Engineering and Material Selection (Part 1) Thinking About the Future of Vegetation Engineering and Material Selection (Part…
Reflections on the Future of Vegetation Engineering and Material Selection (Part 2)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Continuing from last time, I’d like to talk about vegetation engineering. Slope Greening: Effects and Types of Vegetation Engineering. This is a review, though it overlaps with the link above. 1. The basic method is sprayed vegetation substrate (formerly known as thick-layer substrate spraying). Leaf mold mixed with seeds and fertilizer (O…
Reflections on the Future of Vegetation Engineering and Material Selection (Part 1)
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Are you doing any vegetation engineering work? While sprayed vegetation substrate work has really dropped off lately, I think now—or rather, looking ahead—is a good time to rethink the future of vegetation engineering. It was insanely hot this year…
Effects and Types of Vegetation Engineering | Major Methods for Preventing Surface Erosion and Protecting Natural Slopes
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you know how effective vegetation engineering and vegetation mats are? While they aren’t very popular these days, it’s no exaggeration to say that in the past, vegetation was the standard method for slope protection. 🌾 The main methods include seed spraying, soil spraying, and vegetation substrate spraying…
I Went to the 2024 Chubu Construction Technology Fair! (Part 4): Landscaping Edition
Hello, everyone. This is Enta. Do you know about the landscaping method I saw at the construction fair? Apparently, it originated in Okinawa. It’s a method designed to prevent Okinawa’s red soil from washing away, and I hear it introduced something that hadn’t existed on the mainland until now. That’s the Polysoil topsoil method! Ok…
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…
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…
