| Parks and gardens maintain the 'green cycle' using pruning mulch, which allows the conservation of humidity, the saving of water and the improvement of soils and visual appearance | "The City Council continues to advance in its strategic lines of clean air supporting measures that allow raising the environmental quality for the residents of the municipality, achieving a decarbonized city through a significant reduction in polluting emissions.
These works also allow the burning of waste generated by pruning or deposits in landfills to be avoided, and it is also committed to the circular economy ”has reported José GuillénThe work is carried out with a special machine, known as a garden shredder, which allows in a few seconds to reduce these pruning remains in the substance that will later be used in the green areasThe Department of Urban Development and Modernization of the Administration continues to work so that "green areas, in addition to perfectly adequate spaces to be enjoyed and used by all residents, are places that respect the 'green cycle' of nature.
In this way , we take care of the environment and save costs and resources "has informed José Guillén.Pruning tasks are performed with a special machine that creates a matter called pruning mulch.
In this way it is achieved that the branches that have been pruned are shredded and serve as an extra element for those green areas.Specifically, the compression process of the pruning remains is carried out by means of a system known as 'mulching', which consists of crushing creating a mulch, that is, a layer in the upper part of the soil formed by decomposition of organic matter.
The 'mulching' prevents evaporation and is distributed as compost on the ground providing nutrients."The City Council continues to advance in its strategic lines of clean air supporting measures that allow raising the environmental quality for the residents of the municipality, achieving a decarbonized city through a significant reduction in pollutant emissions.
These works allow burning of the waste generated by pruning or deposits in landfills and is also committed to the circular economy "has reported José Guillén.Specifically, with this work methodology, numerous advantages are achieved:- Water saving by creating a padded layer that retains moisture, which is an improvement for the space where it is deposited.- A structural improvement of soils by providing them with minerals and nutrients that create what is known as a 'green manure'.- Prevents the growth of weeds by serving as a barrier for germination to reach the soil surface.- Visual improvement of the green areas that are more uniform and aesthetically pleasing for the citizens who pass near them every day.The work is carried out with a special machine, known as a garden shredder, which allows in a few seconds to reduce these pruning remains in the substance that will later be used in the green areas.In these works that are carried out in all the green areas of the municipality, six workers are in charge of ensuring that the so-called 'green cycle' of nature is maintained on a daily basis.
