Our objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of adding clay to very sandy soil to reduce wind erosion susceptibility. The study was conducted in a laboratory wind tunnel facility. In the first part of the study, various amounts of bentonite and kaolinite clay were added to a fine sand. ...
Some people opt to start the seed-planting process in plastic trays that have a lot of individual cells. Then, transplant the sprouts into clay pots. But you can do either! Whichever container type you select, place the newly seeded containers out of direct light in a warm room. Use clear...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for suppressing resynthesis of dioxins in fly ash separated from a discharged gas, and to provide a new use of acid clay or activated acid clay as suppressant for resynthesis of dioxins. 馬場 健,塚田 俊美,川村 知格,... ...
Wouldn't it help the compost to penetrate and mix with the existing heavy/clay if it were first aerated? jeremiah bailey Posts: 343 3 posted 15 years ago Two things happen. First, worms love compost. They'll eat the compost and deposit worm castings as they travel through your soil....
In this study, we tested the roles of seven edaphic variables, namely (1) pH; (2) the content of nitrogen and of (3) phosphorus; (4) silt; (5) sand; (6) clay and (7) carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, as predictors of species distribution models in an edaphically heterogeneous landscape. ...
The invention is characterized in that the raw soil powder of the paligorskite and distilled water (or deionized water) are mixed according to certain ratio to obtain a stable clay colloid by adjusting the mixing mode and the mixing conditions (mixing speed, mixing time and so on), then ...
For example, soil may be excavated to form a basin-shaped cavity with a mantle surface, and a sealing layer of clay, concrete, plastic, water-resistant cloth or the like may be applied to the mantle surface to form an inner wall. Satellite wells for the introduction of conditioned water,...
