Specialized for strongly acidic soils, new natural growth-type greening method "Soil Bacteria Strongly Acidic Countermeasure Method"

It is a new natural growth-type greening method that specializes the conventional soil bacteria method for more acidic soils.

**Soil Bacteria Strong Acidity Countermeasure Method** The "Soil Bacteria Strong Acidity Countermeasure Method" is an effective vegetation technique for slopes containing factors that inhibit vegetation, such as strongly acidic soil (pH ≤ 3). By combining a shielding layer created through soil-cement spraying with a vegetation foundation layer established using soil bacteria methods, it provides stable greening in areas where conventional vegetation has been difficult. **Soil Bacteria Strong Acidity Countermeasure Method System** In the "Soil Bacteria Strong Acidity Countermeasure Method," the vegetation-inhibiting factors present in the ground are shielded by soil-cement spraying, and a vegetation foundation layer is created on its surface. The hard shielding layer formed by soil-cement spraying restricts not only the growth of vegetation roots but also the supply of moisture and nutrients, meaning that the vegetation foundation layer constructed above the shielding layer will largely depend on many of the conditions for plant growth. Taking this into account, the vegetation foundation layer employs a soil bacteria method that possesses self-fertilizing capabilities, eliminating the need for additional fertilization.
