Laying method for cover material laid on top of cultivated soil to kill weeds, comprises anchoring cover into position by shifting raised regions of soil along cover edges

摘要

The edges of the cultivated soil region (B) to be covered with the material (13) are formed by raising the soil, the roll of cover material (12) is rotated in order to lay the material on top of these edges, and the cover material edges are pressed into the soil in the region of these raised soil edges, before pushing the soil in these raised edges on top of the edges of the cover material and pressing down on this soil, in order to anchor the cover material into position. The cover material can be a film (e.g. mulch film) or a nonwoven. An Independent claim is also included for the laying device (1), comprising a chassis with length and cross-supports (2-3), undercarriage (4) with at least one axle, a hitch (21-21) for towing the device from a vehicle, soil lifting and/or pushing tools (10) located an adjustable distance from the soil, and a rotatory support (16) for the roll of cover material.
