Plant Ecologists: Public Green Spaces Should Not Be Turned into Unmown Meadows

Botaanik Toomas Kukk ütleb, et kõik ei pea olema d. Mõnes kohas võiks niita tihti, teistes piirduda ühe-kahe niitega aastas.
Kukk räägib, et võtab aega. Ta räägib oma sõbrast, kes niidab oma aias vähem. Sügisel niidab ta kogu aia. Nüüd on tal aias orhideed, kuid selleks kulus umbes 15 aastat.
Kukk soovitab, et koduaias võiks niita ühel aastal rohkem ühest kohast ja teisel aastal teisest kohast. Ta ütleb, et vaja on .
Ta soovitab ka seemnesegude külvamist. Turul on erinevaid seemnesegusid, mis sobivad erinevatesse kohtadesse. See aitab muuta muruplatsi mitmekesisemaks.
Tartu Ülikooli professor Martin Zobel ütleb, et tekib seal, kus on vastavad liigid. Linna haljasalal t eriti pole. Niitmata jätmine toob kaasa pikkade kõrreliste kasvu.
Zobel soovitab külvata seemnesegusid. Ta ütleb, et on tavaliselt viljakas, mis toetab kõrreliste kasvu. Ta räägib, et mulla viljakust tuleks vähendada.
Zobel ütleb, et t saab toetada ka koduaias. Ta räägib oma abikaasast, kes on teinud murust . Ta soovitab niita siis, kui seemned on valmis.
Zobel jagab nippe, kuidas muuta koduaias t. Ta räägib, et mõned võivad võimust võtta. Tema koduaias on selliseks liigiks võilill.
Zobel soovitab koduaias kasutada näiteks harilikku härjasilma ja u. Mõlemad lilled on koduaias elujõulised. Ta ütleb, et seemnesegud aitavad aeda elavdada.
Botanist Toomas Kukk says that not all public green spaces need to be unmown meadows. In some places, frequent mowing may be necessary, while in others, one or two mows per year may suffice.
Kukk mentions that the return of species takes time. He talks about his friend who mows his garden less often. In autumn, he mows the entire garden. Now he has orchids in his garden, but it took about 15 years.
Kukk suggests that in a home garden, one could mow more from one area one year and from another area the next year. He says there is a need for more diversity in mowing.
He also recommends sowing seed mixes. There are various seed mixes available on the market that are suitable for different locations. This helps make the lawn more diverse.
Professor Martin Zobel from the University of Tartu says that biodiversity arises where there are appropriate species. In city green spaces, there is little biodiversity. Leaving areas unmown leads to the growth of tall grasses.
Zobel recommends sowing seed mixes. He says that urban soil is usually fertile, which supports the growth of grasses. He mentions that the fertility of the soil should be reduced.
Zobel says that biodiversity can also be supported in a home garden. He talks about his spouse, who has created a flower-rich patch in the lawn. He advises mowing when the seeds are ready.
Zobel shares tips on how to increase biodiversity in a home garden. He mentions that some stronger species may dominate. In his garden, dandelion is such a species.
Zobel recommends using, for example, common eyebright and meadow buttercup in the home garden. Both flowers are vibrant in the garden. He says that seed mixes help enliven the garden.
