The invention provides a method for
afforestation in
arid regions, and relates to the field of
afforestation. The method comprises the following specific steps: S1, digging holes; s2,
fertilizer is put into one side in the pit; s3, a
barrel-shaped first thin film is laid in the pit; s4, the pit is backfilled with soil for the first time; s5, adding water-retaining agent dry particles into the pits, and watering the pits until the water-retaining agent dry particles absorb water and expand into gel solids; s6, the center position of the gel
solid in the pit is backfilled with soil for the second time; S7, the saplings are planted in the soil
pile stand columns backfilled for the second time at the same time; in the planting process, the soil backfilled for the second time is tamped downwards and makes full contact with the soil backfilled for the first time, so that the gel
solid overflows upwards from the gaps and wraps the soil backfilled for the second time and the planted saplings, and the surface of the gel
solid is covered with the remaining soil backfilled for the second time; s8, the surface of the soil backfilled for the second time is covered with a thin film for the second time; and S9, the remaining soil is backfilled for the third time and covered with the film for the second time, and the soil is tamped. The method can improve sapling
survival rate, reduce cost and promote sapling growth.
