MULCHING A COFFEE PLANTATION: How to use saw dust (empumbu) to mulch a coffee plantation.

Saw dust as an organic material is placed over the top of a soil surface to protect it. Some of its benefits include: reduced soil erosion, less compaction, moisture conservation, increased control of soil temperature, and a reduction in weed growth.
There are many different types of mulching materials. Some of these materials are readily available, while others can be purchased from various suppliers. For example, grass clippings are a material that everyone has and are an excellent form of mulch. There is one precaution however, do not use grass clippings from a lawn that has been recently sprayed. Saw dust, is a material that can be purchased from timber saw mill suppliers. Saw dust typically is more durable, lasts longer, and is more attractive in the landscape. Inorganic mulches, such as various forms of gravel or ground-up road tires, can also be used but lack the soil improving properties that are often desired and obtained when the organic mulches break down
Applying Saw dust depends on the result desired. Saw dust placed over the surface prior to dry season will keep the area cooler than non-mulched soils. Remember Saw dust will decompose over time and need to be reapplied when the results of the mulch are most desired.
How much Saw dust is needed? Typically, a layer at least 1 to 3 inches deep is needed depending upon what type of application it is being applied (garden, trees, etc.). Mulch is measured by the cubic foot. For example, an area 10 feet by 10 feet, with a 3 inch application will need 25 cubic feet of saw dust material.
As in any soil management practice, there are pros and cons to using mulches. The long term benefits of mulching are a positive practice that protects the soil resource and improves the landscape. More information on how to use Saw dust as a mulching material, Contact us on [phone],[phone]
