TRADITIONAL AGRICULTURE METHOD

Polyethylene (PE) mulch films

Tomatoes are the world’s most-grown vegetable for the food processing industry. Farmers in many countries use polyethylene (PE) mulch films to increase the tomato yield by controlling weeds, soil temperature and water usage. Thin PE mulch films must be removed from soil after harvest: As it is often impossible to collect the films completely, PE film residues find their way into the soil and accumulate there, since they cannot be biodegraded by micro-organisms.

Sustainable agriculture: tried and tested in everyday farm work

By using TURFquick’s certified compostable mulch films, based on the, equally compostable cellulose TOD®, farmers gain multiple advantages. The TOD® mulch films don’t need to be disposed, but can be ploughed into the soil, where they get naturally decomposed my microorganisms. By this farmers do not only protect our environment by practicing a sustainable agriculture, but they also save themselves a lot of work, time and money.
While the farmers work just begins after the harvest and next years seed has to be prepared, there is usually still a lot of work to do on the now empty field. While the mulch films deliver a high benefit during the time of growth, by providing a stable climate and detaining weeds, they are mostly nothing more than a burden after yielding. In troublesome handwork the remains of regular films have to be picked up, collected and disposed. A long and expensive procedure, coming back every year.

mulch for growing tomatoes
Grass clippings from the lawn (organic), newspaper, cardboard, and even seaweed, well-rinsed off, of course. Mulching keeps the soil at a more even temperature, and keeps the moisture more even, both of which is important with tomatoes. If there are big fluctuations in moisture, you can get splitting in the fruit. They grow better without big fluctuations in soil temperature. Mulching also adds organic matter to the soil, as well as lots of nutrients, which tomatoes love. Put compost/composted manure down before you mulch, and they grow even better. Seaweed, if you live near the coast like we do, has lots of trace elements like iodine, which are good for the soil and tomatoes.
