Experts answer that it is not appropriate to make green manure for fallen flowers and fallen leaves.

Recently, the editorial department of Jiande today received a letter from enthusiastic reader Wang Zengshun. He made recommendations on whether the falling leaves can be used as fertilizer. The contents of the letter are as follows:

Editor comrades:

I see some unscientific management in Baisha Park every year. In the spring, cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, lawn mowers, etc. must all be cleared away. It is suggested that the garden management department should change the fallen leaves into in situ roots, reduce the amount of relocation, and increase organic fertilizers. In this way, whether it is provincial or provincial can be considered.

For this reason, the reporter interviewed the Chief of Xinjing, the afforestation management section of the Municipal Garden Management Office. According to her introduction, falling flowers and fallen leaves should not be used as landscaping fertilizer, but can only be removed when the garbage is removed.

The main reason is that too many fallen leaves, easily affect the permeability of the soil, is not conducive to plant growth. In addition, rotted fallen leaves will generate heat during the fermentation process, affecting the growth of the plant roots. Moreover, rotten fallen leaf litters are easy to generate a variety of insect pests. Falling leaves, when rotted and fermented, produce some gas that is not so good, affecting people in the park who are doing morning exercises and leisure. Therefore, in landscaping, deciduous flowers are not used as green manure. In the end, Xinke Chang thanked Wang Zengshun for his advice and hoped that the general public would give more suggestions on the landscape.
