Method of manufacturing a plant receptacle wherein the following steps are performed: a) a PLA thread is co-extruded with a flexible aliphatic polyester, said flexible aliphatic polyester comprising 10 wt % to 30 wt % bamboo material, such that the flexible aliphatic polyester covers the PLA thread, thereby creating a weldable biodegradable thread; b) using said weldable biodegradable thread in a woven or non-woven process, making a permeable sheet material; c) continuously forming said sheet material into a continuous receptacle, by bringing the side edges of said sheet material into contact and welding said side edges together; d) cutting said continuous receptacle in predetermined lengths thereby creating separate plant receptacles.

A method for spraying Robinia pseudoacacia on exposed shale wall to efficiently and rapidly restore green and improve soil pH value is provided. External-soil spray seeding is used to spray mixed microorganisms, organic fertilizer, and soil on exposed shale walls with a green plant of Robinia pseudoacacia to efficiently and rapidly restore green and improve soil pH value. The mixed microorganisms include Kocuria sp. X-22, Microbacterium sp. X-26, Bacillus sp. X-28 and Microbacterium sp. X-18, and the mixed microorganisms are added to organic fertilizer and soil by fermentation broth. The weight ratio of mixed microorganisms, organic fertilizer and soil is 1:1:8. The method can promote the rapid growth of Robinia pseudoacacia on the exposed shale wall and significantly increase organic matter content, effective phosphorus content, and pH value of the Robinia pseudoacacia soil.

The modification of sand with superhydrophobic silica/wax nanoparticles may provide for water storage, applicable, for example, in desert environments. In particular, highly thermal stable superhydrophobic coats for sand are made of nanoparticles composed of superhydrophobic silica capped with paraffin wax. Superhydrophobic sand modified by such nanoparticles addresses issues of water storage in desert environments, capitalizing on sand resource utilization. Superhydrophobic sand, as modified, has excellent water repellency and great water-holding capacity. The superhydrophobic sand modified with superhydrophobic silica/wax nanoparticles can be applied for the desert water storage for agriculture and planting.
