Ingabe utshani mbumbulu bukhula?
Sekuyiminyaka engu-45 ikhona, kodwa utshani bokwenziwa buye buphuza ukuvela e-UK, naphezu kokuba sebudume ngokuqhathaniswa nezitsha ezifuywayo ezifundazweni ezomile eziseningizimu ye-America naseMpumalanga Ephakathi. Kubonakala sengathi uthando lwaseBrithani lwe-horticulture lumile endleleni yalo. Kuze kube manje.
Igagasi elihamba kancane liyashintsha, mhlawumbe ngenxa yesimo sezulu esishintshayo noma izingadi zethu ziba zincane. Lapho kwethulwa uhlobo lwayo lokuqala lotshani bokwenziwa kule ntwasahlobo, ngaphezu kwamamitha-skwele angu-7,000 athengiswe esikhathini esingamaviki. I-Turf mbumbulu iphinde yavela engadini yombukiso e-Chelsea Flower Show kulo nyaka, naphezu kokuhogela okuningi okuvela ezindaweni ezithile ngaphakathi kwe-RHS.
Angikholwa ukuthi akuyona i-turf
I-synthetic turf yesimanje iwumhlaba ohluke kumata wokubonisa wegrosa eluhlaza emashumini eminyaka adlule. Isihluthulelo seqiniso ukuthola utshani bokwenziwa obungabonakali buphelele kakhulu. Lokhu kusho ngaphezu komthunzi owodwa wohlaza, ingxube yezintambo ezigoqekile neziqondile kanye “notshani” mbumbulu. Phela, akukho lutho olufakazela ukuthi utshani bakho bungcono ngempela kunezicucu ezimbalwa ezifile lapha nalaphaya.
Hlala ucela amasampula, njengoba ubungenza ngokhaphethi: ungawabeka otshanini bangempela, uhlole umbala, futhi uhlole ukuthi azizwa kanjani ngaphansi kwezinyawo. Ngokuvamile, imikhiqizo ebiza kakhulu inamashubhu e-polyethylene amaningi okuwenza athambe futhi abe ne-floppier kuyilapho ama-brand "play" ngokuvamile aqukethe i-polypropylene eyengeziwe - i-tuft eqinile. Izinhlobo ezishibhile ziwuhlaza ogqamile.
Kunini lapho inkohliso ingcono kuneyangempela?
Lapho ulima engadini ngaphansi kwezihlahla noma emthunzini osindayo; ngamathafa ophahleni, lapho inketho yokwenziwa isusa izinkinga eziningi kusuka ekuniseleni kuya ekunciphiseni isisindo; ezindaweni zokudlala, lapho kudingeka khona ukuhlalisa okuthambile (imidlalo yebhola lezinyawo yezingane isheshe iqede ngisho notshani obunzima kakhulu); futhi lapho isikhala siphezulu kangangokuthi umshini wokugunda umane ungeyona inketho.
Ungakwazi ukuyibeka ngokwakho?
Cishe u-50% we-artificial turf manje ubekwe amakhasimende ngokwawo. I-synthetic turf, njengokhaphethi, inenqwaba eqondisayo, ngakho-ke udinga ukuqinisekisa ukuthi konke kuhamba ngendlela efanayo. Futhi kubalulekile ukuthi imiphetho iboshwe eduze ngaphambi kokuyinamathisela ku-tape yokuhlanganisa. Abahlinzeki abaningi banikeza ulwazi oluningi ukukusiza ukuthi uthathe umzila we-DIY. Ngokuvamile kuthengiswa ngamaroli angu-2m noma angu-4m ububanzi.
Izisekelo ezifanele
Enye yezinzuzo eziyinhloko zotshani mbumbuluukuthi ungawabeka phezu kwanoma yini: ukhonkolo, itiyela, isihlabathi, umhlaba, ngisho nophahla. Kodwa-ke, uma ingaphezulu lingabushelelezi ngendlela efanayo, isibonelo lapho unama-slabs agandayiwe angalingani, uzodinga ukungeza isisekelo esingaphansi noma sesihlabathi ngaphansi kwe-turf yakho ukuze uyisuse.
I-Turf mbumbulu, amanani angempela
Uma kuziwa emananini, utshani mbumbulu bufana namawigi noma ama-tan: uma uzofuna iqiniso, lindela ukukhokha. Izinhlobo eziningi zikanokusho zilinganiselwa ku-£25-£30 imitha yesikwele futhi le ntengo ingaphindeka kabili uma ufuna ifakwe. Kodwa-ke, uma kumayelana nendawo edlalekayo kunotshani obungokoqobo ungakhokha u-£10 ngemitha-skwele ngayinye (ku-DYG ngokwesibonelo).
Ukugcina inkohliso
Ukuyeka umshini wokusika utshani akusho ukuphela kwawo wonke umsebenzi, nakuba ungakwazi ukushintsha ukugunda kwamasonto onke ukuze uthole ukushanela okungadingeki kwanyanga zonke ngebhulashi eliqinile ukuze usule amaqabunga futhi uphakamise inqwaba. Ukhula oluyinqaba noma ubulembu obukhula ngosekelo lwepulasitiki lenhlabathi lungabhekwana nalo njengoba ubungenza ngotshani obuvamile.
Uma uthola amamaki ezikhathini ezithile phezulu, kuyenzeka uwahlanze ngesihlanzi sasendlini esingashisi, kodwa lokhu kungase konakalise inkohliso komakhelwane.
Utshani obuhlala isikhathi eside?
Kunotshani mbumbulu kuleli zwe obusaqinile ngemuva kwamashumi eminyaka ambalwa, kodwa izinkampani eziningi zizoqinisekisa ngokufiphala iminyaka emihlanu kuya kweyishumi kuphela.
Ukulinganiselwa
I-Turf mbumbulu ayisona isixazululo esihle semithambeka njengoba iba nzima ukuyiqinisa ngokuqinile futhi isisekelo sayo sesihlabathi sizothuthela phansi lapho kuthambekela khona. Ukwehla okucashile? Ngeke kusaba khona iphunga lotshani obusha obugawuliwe, abusontofontofo njengeyoqobo kanye nemisebenzi yokugunda abangahlukumeza ngayo intsha.
Umnqobi kwezemvelo?
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, utshani mbumbulu buqeda ukusetshenziswa okunganqamuki kotshani obulambile: ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi, ukuvundisa namandla okugunda, isibonelo. Kodwa iwumkhiqizo owenziwe ngepulasitiki oncike kuwoyela ukuze ukhiqize. Futhi ayinikezi izinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo zotshani obuphilayo. Kodwa-ke, ama-turfs amasha asathuthukiswa asebenzisa amabhodlela agaywe kabusha ngezinto zawo ezibalulekile.
