He nīnauele me Pam Penick, Mea kākau o "Lawn Gone!"
ʻO ka momona he māla nui. Akä, ua huli nui ÿia nä mea pani o ka mauu no nä kumu he nui - ÿaÿole i liʻiliʻi loa i waena o läkou ke hiki i kekahi mau mea kanu liÿiliÿi ke ola me ka liʻiliʻi o ka wai a ÿaÿole e koi aku i ka mowing.
ʻO Pam Penick he Austin, TX, mea kanu a mea hoʻolālāʻaʻole he malihini i ka pilikia lawn e kauʻia e nā lau maloʻo. Ua hoʻouluʻiaʻo ia e kākau iā Lawn Gone! (Ten Speed Press, 2013).
I loko o kēia kūkākūkā, hāʻawiʻo ia i kekahi o kāna mau mea pani kiʻekiʻe a me nā mea kanu i kāwiliʻia i ka mauʻu.
He aha nā pae kiʻekiʻeʻekolu e ulu ana i ka'āina no nā kānaka e hoʻololi ana i ka palena o ka wai?
ʻO ka mea mua, ke hāpai nei au i ka sedge,ʻo kēlāʻano kēiaʻano maoli i kūlike i kou'āina. Ke mālama maikaʻi neiʻo Berkeley sed Care ( California ). Honolulu sedge ( Carex penylvanica ) e hana maikaʻi ma ka Midwest a me ka Hikina. ʻO Texas sedge ( Carex texensis ) hana no ka Plains'Ākau. Hāʻawiʻo Sedge i ka nānāʻana o ka laina me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa mau a me ka hoʻoinu.
ʻO ka lua, he makemake wau i kaʻeke kālā ( Dymondia margaretae ) no ka piʻiʻana o ka hau. Ke hana neiʻo ia i ka moena mea kālā a me ka haʻahaʻa.
ʻO ka meaʻekolu,ʻo nā mea kanu haʻahaʻa o E cheveria genus a me Sedum genus hiki ke hoʻopiha i nā wahi kūpono. ʻAʻohe paʻakikī ka nānāʻana i ka'ākau o ka'āpana 9, akāʻo nā mea kanu e like me 'Angelina' stonecrop ( S. rupestre ) hiki ke hoʻopiha i kahi i nā ākea o ke ākea.
Makemake wau i nā polu polū (Serpens Sene) no nā wahi mehamehaʻole e like me Southern California. Aia nā Sempervivums i nāʻanoʻano haʻahaʻa e ulu ana i ka'ākau-nui, pēlā i nā hens-and-chicks a hale paha. (E nānā i kā mākouʻatikala e pili ana i nā kāpena sedum .)
He aha kāu e kapa aku ai i ka "nui loa" o ka'āina?
ʻO ka mea nui,ʻo ka hapa nuiʻole o ka'āina i ka uhiʻia,ʻaʻoleʻoe e mahalo i ka wāwae o ka moku,ʻoiaiʻo kou mau mea a me nā mea i'ōleloʻia i mua, eʻae i ka hele wāwae.
I loko o ka puke, ke hāpai nei au i kou laumehe e kāhiko ana i koume ( T. lanuginosis ),ʻo ia mau mea he mau hōʻailona hoʻoilo. Loaʻa i ka speedwell ( Veronica oltensis ) no nā wahi 4-9, nā līlū e kolo ana ( Pentalobus mau puke ) no nā wahi 6-11, a me ke kāpili kālā ( Dymondia margaretae ) no nā wahi 9-11.
He aha nā koho e loaʻa ai i nā kānaka no ka'ōhinuʻana i ka'ōpala?
Loaʻa'oHabiturf no ka Komohana Hema. Loaʻa nā hui leʻaleʻa maikaʻi no Kaleponi a me ka hōʻailona o Midwest, e like me ka Lawn No-Mow Laʻu a me ka Wildwater Farm Eco-Lawn . (E nānā i kā mākouʻatikala ma luna o ka ululāʻau no ka lawn .
I kekahi manawa, hoʻohana nā kānaka i ka mea moa e hoʻomaʻemaʻe i nā lālā a me Debris ma ka papa. Ke Kuhi nei Ka Honua i ka Mowi Pāʻani, Inā i Hui A Hoʻohuiʻoleʻia paha me Nā Hulu?
ʻAe, hiki ke hoʻouluʻia nā nalu i hoʻokahi manawa i ka mahina, inā makemakeʻoe, a waihoʻoleʻia paha no kaʻikeʻana i ka "meadow". ʻO Liriope, kahi maikaʻi loa ma ka Hikina Hema, hiki ke hōʻailonaʻia i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki i ka hoʻomakaʻana o ka punawai e hoʻokaʻawale i nā lauʻeleʻele. Akā,ʻo ka mea nui,ʻaʻole kahi o nā mea maikaʻi e pili ana i ka heleʻana i ka lawn-freeʻole i ka mow!
Ke hana neiʻo Pam Penick ma kahi puke hou, no ka makahiki 2016 mai ka Ten Speed Press, i kapaʻiaʻo " ʻO ka Hālaʻau Huawai Ola: pehea e ulu ai i ka māla nani me kahi Lot Less Water ."
Nā pane a ka Luna hoʻoponopono:
ʻO ka nui o kēia mau ulu ulu ulu haʻahaʻa e loaʻa ana i nā kikowaena o nā māla. Akā inā pilikiaʻoe i kaʻikeʻana i kāu mea e pono ai, e hōʻike ana kahi hapa o kaʻike'Iewele i kahi mau kumuhana e leka uila ai i ka "walk-on" groundcovers:
Nā puke kope o Ieeper
Nā paepae
ʻO ka ulu lāʻauʻo Greenwood
ʻO Mountain Crest Gardens
