Falling leaves "turn waste into treasure" is more environmentally friendly

Cold winds rise and leaves fall. After entering the winter, the leaves on the roadside, green belt, and forest farm gradually increased, red maple leaves, yellow poplar leaves, green locust leaves... Although these fallen leaves add a touch of color to the city in winter, they also affect the city's urban appearance and environmental health.

Recently, the reporter found that some citizens reused the fallen leaves, which not only beautified the environment, but also achieved the role of "turning waste into treasure".

"Turning into spring mud to protect flowers"

"I remember when I was a child, whenever the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, my family would sweep the fallen leaves in the yard together, and after crushing, watering, fertilizer and other links, they would spread to the ground in the coming year, which was a good fertilizer." Recently, in the Cuiliu community of Dawukou District, Hu Jianguo, a resident who was making flowers and grass in front of the unit, talked about experience.

Hu Jianguo, 66, likes to raise flowers after retirement. "Don't underestimate these leaves, mix it in the soil, layer by layer of soil leaves, after watering, sealed, wait until the leaves rot into black crumbs, dry a sun, raise flowers and vegetables is the most suitable, both environmentally friendly and convenient, the benefits are many."

Hu Jianguo also has the same idea as the citizen Zhou Ling, as soon as the winter comes, she begins to collect pine needles, and puts the rotten pine needle fertilizer at the bottom of flowers and plants such as jasmine, junzi orchid, crab claw orchid, and moon season, which can not only play a role in loosening and breathing, delaying soil compaction, but also release enough nutrients to supply the growth of plant roots. "Collecting these fallen leaves not only avoids the waste of resources, but also reduces the work intensity of sanitation workers." Zhou Ling said.

Can fallen leaves make flower fertilizer in the end? According to Zhang Tingxie, director of the municipal ecological protection forest farm, deciduous branches can be used as fertilizer, provided that they must be disinfected and fermented. "After fermentation, the fallen leaves are more environmentally friendly, greener and recyclable than ordinary quick-growing fertilizers, which is not easy to harden the soil, and at the same time, it also saves a part of the cost accordingly." And the unfermented deciduous stump, some nutrients can not only not be absorbed and utilized by plants, but also may become a breeding ground for pests and diseases, it is best to compost fermentation and then use. Zhang Tingxie said.

Feeding the sheep has become a "fragrant feast"

"Big sister, can I pull some of these fallen leaves away?" Home for feeding sheep. "Okay, you can take the bag yourself." On December 5, near the intersection of Yellow River Street and Wenming Road, several greeners were busy sweeping the fallen leaves from the ground into piles. Citizen Wei Xingguo, with the permission of sanitation workers, packed leaves into woven bags.

"My family has nearly a hundred sheep, and every year only the hay needed to be fed is prepared a lot, and the willow leaves and poplar leaves in the fallen leaves are the most favorite foods for sheep to eat in winter." After the winter, there are many leaves on the roadside, on the green belt, especially in the park, and some farmers in the village come together to collect the leaves and pull them back to feed the sheep. Wei Xingguo said.

"Whether it is made as fertilizer or as feed, the fallen leaves can be reused, which I think not only saves the cost of disposing of waste branches and leaves, but also saves part of the cost of purchasing fertilizer and feed, and is also conducive to environmental protection, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone." Zhang Hui, a citizen, said that he hopes to truly make the best use of dead branches and leaves. (Reporters Di Yandong and Li Wei)
