ʻO ka nahele ka pilikia nui a ka poʻe māla.ʻAʻohe ʻano hoʻonā kupua hoʻokahi no ka mālama ʻana i ka mauʻu ma kou ʻāina, akā inā ʻike ʻoe e pili ana i ka mauʻu, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomalu iā lākou me nā ʻōnaehana hoʻokele maʻalahi.ʻO ka mea mua, pono ʻoe e ʻike i kekahi mau kumu o ka weed.Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā mauhele i ʻekolu mau ʻano nui: nā makahiki, nā biennials a me nā perennials.Ke ulu nei nā mauʻu makahiki mai nā hua i kēlā me kēia makahiki a make ma mua o ka hoʻoilo.Ke ulu nei nā mauʻu biennial i ka makahiki mua, kau i nā hua i ka lua o ka makahiki, a laila make.Ke ola nei ka nahelehele i ka hoʻoilo a hoʻomau i ka ulu ʻana i kēlā me kēia makahiki, e laha ana ma lalo o ka lepo a ma o nā hua.ʻO ka pōʻeleʻele holoʻokoʻa ke ala maikaʻi loa e kāohi ai i ka mauʻu.Hohola mākou i ʻekolu a ʻehā ʻīniha o ka mulch ma luna o nā mea kanu hou a hoʻohou i kēlā me kēia makahiki me ʻelua a ʻekolu ʻīniha o ka mulch hou, sterile.Eia ke kī: I ka hoʻoilo, e ʻai ana ke ʻano o kāu mulch a e ulu mau ana nā ʻanoʻano nahele hou, no laila inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻohou i kāu mulch i kēlā me kēia puna, e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka mauʻu.Nui nā māla e hoʻopaʻa i ka māla me ka lole pale weed a uhi ʻia me ka mulch.ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o nā lole ma mua o ka mulch no ka mea e hoʻokuʻu i ka wai a me ka ea i ka lepo, akā pale i ka lā.ʻO ka mua, hoʻomalu lākou i nā ʻano mauʻu ʻekolu ma ka pale ʻana i nā mauʻu a me nā ʻanoʻano e kū nei mai ke komo ʻana i ka lole, akā i ka hopena, e kupu mai nā nāhelehele hou mai nā ʻanoʻano i hoʻopuehu ʻia e ka makani, nā manu, a me nā ʻoki mauʻu a komo i ka moena ma luna o ka papa lole.Inā ʻaʻole lawa kāu mulch e pale ai mai ka lā, e ulu mai ka mauʻu ma kou lole.ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lole no ka mālama ʻana i ka weed hiki ke loaʻa nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole ke mālama ʻole ʻoe i ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ka lepo ma mua o ka waiho ʻana i ka lole a me ka mulch.Mālama ka lole i ka laha a me ka "noho" o nā mea kanu he nui, a laila e makaʻu ai i nā mauʻu.Hiki i ka lole ke pilikia inā makemake ʻoe e mahi a hoʻololi i nā moena.I kēlā me kēia manawa ʻoe e lepo ai a lepo paha i kahi lole, ke paipai nei ʻoe i ka nahele e ulu.ʻO nā mea kanu olakino a hauʻoli kou pale maikaʻi loa i ka nāhelehele, nā mea hoʻokūkū koʻikoʻi e malu ai ka lepo.ʻO ke kau ʻana i nā mea kanu ma ke ʻano e hui pū ai kekahi i kekahi he mea maikaʻi loa ia no ka mālama ʻana i ka mauʻu.Inā ʻoe e hoʻomau i ka waiho ʻana ma waena o nā mea kanu, e ulu maikaʻi ka mauʻu ma laila no ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lā a ʻaʻohe hoʻokūkū.Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei mākou i nā mea kanu uhi honua e like me ka royal periwinkle, ivy, carpet juniper, a me philodendron e hana like me ka pale, e uhi ana i ka lepo a me ke kāohi ʻana i ka ulu ʻana o ka mauʻu.Manaʻo mākou e hoʻohana i ka herbicide e like me Roundup (glyphosate) e pepehi loa i nā mauʻu a me nā mauʻu ma mua o ka waiho ʻana i nā moena hou.Inā ʻoe e ulu ana i nā biennials a i ʻole nā perennials, e hoʻonui lākou;pono ʻoe e hoʻopau iā lākou a hiki i ko lākou aʻa hohonu ma mua o ka palau ʻana.ʻO kekahi mau nāhelehele, e like me ka mauʻu, clover, a me nā violets ʻāhiu, makemake i nā herbicide kūikawā no ka mea ʻaʻole e pepehi ʻo Roundup iā lākou.ʻO kekahi hana koʻikoʻi ʻo ke ʻoki ʻana i ka lepo ma nā ala a me nā ʻaoʻao o nā moena i hiki ke hoʻohui ʻia ʻelua a ʻekolu ʻīniha o ka mulch ma nā ʻaoʻao.Mai hoʻohana i ka mulch no ka ʻae ʻana i ka lā e hoʻōla i nā ʻanoʻano mauʻu i ka lepo.Ma mua o ka mulching, hoʻomaʻemaʻe mau mākou i nā paia kumu, nā ʻaoʻao, nā ʻāʻī a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe e pili ana kahi e hoʻohaumia ai ka lepo i loko o nā hua mauʻu i ka mulch hou ma hope o ka laha ʻana.ʻO ka laina hope o ka pale ʻana ʻo ia ka "pre-emergence" weed control chemicals e like me Treflane, ka mea hana ma Prine.Hoʻokumu kēia mau huahana i pale e pepehi i nā ʻōpuʻu mauu e puka mai ana.Hāʻawi mākou iā ia i loko o ka māla ma mua o ka mulching no ka mea e hōʻemi ana ka ʻike ʻana i ka ea a me ka lā i kona pono.Makemake mākou e pulupulu i nā nāhelehele i loko o kā mākou kīhāpai ma mua o ka uhuki ʻana iā lākou, a inā he kānalua e uhuki lākou.Hiki ke hoʻonui i ka pilikia ma ka huki ʻana i ka lepo a me nā hua mauʻu mai lalo o ka mulch.He paʻakikī ke uhuki ʻia nā nāhelehele i aʻa hohonu e like me nā dandelion a me nā puakala.ʻO kekahi mau nāhelehele, e like me ka mauʻu wōnati a me ka ʻonika hihiu, e waiho i hope i kahi hanauna hou ke ʻohi ʻoe iā lākou.ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pīpī ʻana inā hiki iā ʻoe ke hana me ka ʻole o ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ʻana o nā mea kanu i makemake ʻia.He paʻakikī ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā nāhelehele ma luna o nā perennials a me nā uhi lepo no ka mea ʻo ka hapa nui o nā herbicides e hōʻino i nā mea kanu i makemake ʻia.Ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi hopena i kapa ʻia ʻo "Roundup Glove".No ka hana ʻana i kēia, e hoʻokomo wale i nā mīkina lima lima ma lalo o nā mīkina lima hana pulupulu.E hoʻopaʻa i kou mau lima i loko o ka bākeke a i ʻole ke kīʻaha Roundup, e ʻomi i ke koena me kou lima e hoʻōki i ka kulu ʻana, a e hoʻoheheʻe i kou mau manamana lima me ka mauʻu.Make nā mea a pau āu e pā ai i loko o hoʻokahi pule.ʻO Steve Boehme he mea kālai'āina / mea hoʻonohonoho i mea kūikawā i ka "modernization".Hoʻopuka ʻia ʻo Growing Together i kēlā me kēia pule
