an<strong>&nbsp;urban afforestation method<\/strong>&nbsp;by turning&nbsp;<strong>someone\u2019s backyard into a forest.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Miyawaki is a&nbsp;<strong>technique pioneered by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki<\/strong>, that helps build dense, native forests in a short time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It has revolutionized<strong>&nbsp;the concept of urban afforestation<\/strong>\u00a0by turning backyards into mini-forests.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This method<strong>&nbsp;includes planting trees<\/strong>&nbsp;(only native species) as close as possible in the&nbsp;<strong>same area<\/strong>&nbsp;which not only saves space, but the planted saplings also support each other in growth and&nbsp;<strong>block sunlight from&nbsp;<\/strong>reaching the ground, thereby&nbsp;<strong>preventing the growth of weeds.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The&nbsp;<strong>saplings become maintenance-free<\/strong>&nbsp;(self-sustainable) after the first three years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Miyawaki Process<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Examine the Soil<\/strong>&nbsp;Texture and Measure Biomass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select&nbsp;<strong>Native Species for Plantation.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare the Ground<\/strong>&nbsp;and Equip

Years.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Miyawaki method<strong>&nbsp;helps create self-sustaining vegetation<\/strong>&nbsp;within<strong>&nbsp;2 to 3 years<\/strong>, whereas a traditional procedure takes nearly 100 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The approach is supposed&nbsp;<strong>to ensure that plant growth is 10 times faster&nbsp;<\/strong>and the&nbsp;<strong>resulting plantation is 30 times denser&nbsp;<\/strong>than usual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-spacer.kt-block-spacer-_998daa-d6
