I-peat yinto engokwemvelo yemvelo, etholakala ngenxa yokuphila kwengxenye yezinsalela zezitshalo ezimweni zomswakama ophezulu (indwangu). Esigabeni se-peat, ivolumu yenani le-peat lingathatha kusuka ku-50 kuya ku-100% yenani eliphelele.
I-peat eyigugu kunazo zonke yi-peat ephezulu , iyinto ephilayo ewusizo kakhulu futhi enomsoco. I-substrate esekelwe ku-peat esetshenziselwa ukufaka indawo yenhlabathi yezilwane eziningi zezitshalo.
Ezinye izitshalo zidinga kakhulu i-peat substrate. Isibonelo, ama-orchids: uma uhlanganisa i-substrate kubo, udinga ukukhumbula ukuthi kufanele kube nokuphefumula nokuphefumula ngokwanele. I-substrate ene-peat, i-bark ne-sphagnum ye-phalaenopsis (ama-orchids) ihlangabezana nalezi zidingo ngokugcwele.
Izici ze-peat nut substrate
Ukudla okuvame kakhulu ku-sphagnum moss. Futhi i-sphagnum peat bogs yimithombo evame kakhulu ye-peat ne-substrate. Kule sphagnum kunezici zayo siqu, eziyisici se-peat eyenziwe yizo.
Isici esiyinhloko se-sphagnum peat bogs yi-capillarity enkulu futhi, ngokufanele, amandla okumswakama. I-sphagnum enamandla kunazo zonke yamanzi iyakwazi ukusondeza umswakama ngaphezu kwezikhathi ezingu-50 kunomumo owomile. Kunengqondo ukuthi i-peat ibamba umswakama kahle kakhulu.
Ukwengeza, i-peat substrate ihlangabezane nezidingo zezitshalo ezincane ezincane kanye nezibalo, ngoba kuvame ukusetshenziselwa ukutshala izitshalo ezimbizeni naseziqukathini, kanye nokulima ukutshala izitshalo. Kuyo, izinqubo zokuhluma kwezimbewu ziyasheshisa, ngakho-ke i-substrate enjalo ivame ukukhethwa ukuphoqa izithombo.
Izinkinga ze-peat substrate
Ukudla njenge-substrate akuyona yonke indawo yazo zonke izinhlobo zezitshalo. Imvelo ye-asidi ehambisana nama-peat substrates awafanelanga bonke abamele izitshalo.
Ukuze unciphise ama-asidi kumathebulethi we-substrate noma i-peat, u-choki noma i-lime ngokuvamile uvame. Kodwa lokhu nakho kungabangela okuqukethwe ngokweqile kwe-calcium ku-substrate, okuyinto ephazamisa kakhulu ukuthuthukiswa kwezitshalo, ngoba iholela ekuntulekeni kwe-phosphorus nezinye izici zokulandelela.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ekwenzeni i-asidi neutralizing, umsebenzi we-humic we-peat ungancipha, futhi lokhu kunciphisa ukusebenza kahle kwe-peat futhi kwenza kube nzima ukusebenzisa izinto eziwusizo ze-peat ngokugcwele.
Futhi enye into eyengeziwe: ngenxa yesakhiwo esibucayi nesineqhaza se-peat substrate, isheshe ilahlekelwe umswakama, ngoba izitshalo zidinga ukuchelela okuvamile. Ngenxa yokuchithwa okukhulu komswakama kanye nokwehlisa izinga lokushisa, uhlelo lwempande lungase luhlupheke, ikakhulukazi ngaphansi kwezimo zokuhlela.
