. Also, various rodents can bring discomfort, which settle in dug-out shelters and destroy the entire crop. There are many ways to deal with these residents of garden plots. One of them is the mole net.
Purpose
- Protects the ground from the appearance of moles and other rodents in it.
- It also effectively strengthens and prepares the ground for laying lawns there.
Distinguishing Features
- Since the mole net is mounted in the inner layers of the soil, it does not spoil the aesthetic appearance of the garden plot and becomes invisible to the eyes of the inhabitants.
- Relatively low cost, thanks to which this method of pest control is gaining more and more momentum.
- Also, according to so many gardeners, the mostAn effective method is precisely the mole net. Reviews say that it is effective at any time of the year and under different weather conditions, which cannot be said about other devices that lose their properties in the absence of wind or any other extraneous factors.
Dignity of this material
- Mainly made of strong and thick plastic, which makes the construction very strong and durable.
- Different in a special structure: the mole net consists of many small cells that prevent the animals from getting outside, after which they themselves leave the garden.
- Also used to strengthen the lawn in the soil, growing through the mesh structure, the root system is strengthened and well connected with each other, forming a single system - all this prevents soil from washing out and erosion.
- The plastic material is highly breathable and water-permeable, so the natural circulation is not disturbed and absolutely no damage is done to plants.
- The mesh is very strong and durable, due to its composition it does not corrode and rot. Able to withstand a fairly wide temperature range, from - 50 to + 60 degrees.
I also want to note the humanity of using this method of pest control, since absolutely no harm is done to animals under its influence.
How to lay the mole net?
Protection of the garden plot should be taken care of in advance. Works betterjust to produce together with the planting of the lawn. The plastic mesh is laid horizontally, after which it must be securely fastened with special brackets that are sold with it. Then the resulting structure must be covered with a fertile layer of earth, which must be leveled and compacted. Next, you need to wait for the time intended for shrinkage, so that the process occurs faster, the earth needs to be watered for 2-3 days.
After laying, you can either plant lawn grass seeds or lay them in rolls - this choice will directly depend on the owner of the garden plot and on his preferences. In any case, the plastic mesh will be a reliable protection against various pests.
If the problem of moles and rodents arose suddenly, and the lawn has already been planted, then there is an alternative method of struggle. You can dig the net in a vertical position along the perimeter of the garden plot, to a depth of about 50-60 centimeters. In this case, the animals will not be able to get into the site, because they rarely dig deeper than 35-40 centimeters from the ground.
Mole mesh is a very malleable material: to bring the product to the required dimensions, you can use a pruner or scissors, which will undoubtedly greatly simplify the process of laying it.
