There are 18 hectares of vines in total and today the farm is run by 4th generation winemaker, Aurelien Gerbais. The estate converted to organic cultivation in 1996 and everything is done by hand. Aurelien and his father Pascal are pioneers in the use of Pinot Blanc in their house blends and the family is fiercely protective of its 4 hectares of this particular grape.
A pale straw-yellow in colour with a lively and steady mousse. Aromas of green apples, ripe pears and buttered bread. Weighty and pure on the palate with further green fruit notes and a generous minerality, the finish is lingering and refreshing. Try with Oysters Rockefeller, butternut squash ravioli with a sage sauce or spring rolls with a sweet chilli sauce. | agronomy |

Moreover possessing a garden in backyard the house may be an important requirement for the time being. Chiefly if it comes to houses, it’s not only the inside that counts. 1 approach to improve the garden backyard the house is to choose plants that are appropriate for narrow land, such as small ornamental plants with assorted colors so the home garden appears considerably more attractive.
The Characteristics of Beautiful Backyard Garden Landscaping Ideas That Looks Great
Every garden sometimes needs just a little refreshment. Individuals who have tiny gardens may wish to grow because many crops as possible on vertical supports, and gardeners that have a lot of space will still must lend physical support to a few of their vegetables, including climbing varieties of peas and pole beans. Small Garden Planting Ideas Small gardens have much more potential than you understand.
The Ugly Secret of Beautiful Backyard Garden Landscaping Ideas That Looks Great
If you’ve got the room and, even more to the point, the time and energy necessary to grow an immense garden well, do it. You don’t require much room to begin a backyard nursery. You have very little room to your home and don’t know what things to do with it.
There are many things to think about when picking out plants. They need lots of good nutrition in order to provide it. It’s also essential to understand when plants are ready in order to harvest punctually. Of course some plants take more time to produce than others, but however you slice it, all of them sell for cash money. It’s important to select the plants carefully. Unique plants have to be thinned out to different spacing so that it is important to understand what you have where. Growing landscape plants is quite a bit easier than you believe.

How to Achieve Competitiveness on World Market” YIEF 2017 session defined the key problems of the winemaking industry and suggested ways to resolve them.
Boris Titov, Presidential Commissioner for Entrepreneurs’ Rights, Chairman of the Council of the Union of Winegrowers and Winemakers of Russia, opened the session. He said that winegrowing in Crimea was developing and settling into a normal course of life.
“This year, we are seeing large numbers of happy and self-confident winemakers at the Forum. We know that the statistics on vine planting in Crimea inspire optimism,” Boris Titov said. At the same time, he noted growing competition on the Russian domestic market. “I can assure you that positive processes are also being seen on mainland Russia. We are also planting a lot. There will be serious competition, so do not get too relaxed here. Good grapes are ripening, vineyards are growing and our wines are becoming better and better.”
Mr Titov said that the Russian Union of Winegrowers and Winemakers of Russia was assisting in promoting Russian wines on world markets. “We should pay attention to developing the ‘Russian wine’ brand,” Boris Titov believes. “If we convince everybody that such a thing exists and this is a positive phenomenon with good vibes, then Russian winemaking will develop much faster.”
Andrey Ryumshin, Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Crimea, addressed the session with information on the situation in the winegrowing and winemaking industry. The winemakers discussed aspects of pricing, logistics, quota allocation, employment and development of nurseries.
Production of wines using a protected geographical indication and protected designation of origin was one of the principal subjects at the session. “Wines with protected geographical indication and protected designation of origin are a long-term effort,” Igor Samsonov, General Director of VK Satera, stressed. “But I think that, in the future, it will pay off; on the one hand, it will help promote geographical wines on the Russian market; on the other hand, it will help buttress the position of Russian wines on the world market.”
Dmitry Voloshenko, Director of Crimean Vine and Wine Bureau Association of Wine Growers and Wine Makers, said the session was productive and suggested that the participants sign a memorandum to help resolve the sector’s problems.
“Each year, our session gains in quality. This platform allows us to discuss and state urgent problems and determine development prospects. With the help of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Crimea, with the help of the Government of Crimea, we are attempting to resolve all the questions as they arise and to develop further,” Dmitry Voloshenko said.
According to Voloshenko, the Forum allows the legislation to be adapted to the winemaking sector. “The initiative to pass a specialised Wine Law has been supported by the Union of Winegrowers and Winemakers of Russia; the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation have taken notice of this,” Dmitry Voloshenko said. | agronomy |

Most of this land has been developed. While drainage has greatly improved our ability to farm land profitably, too much drainage can speed up shrinkage of peat soils. A balance between drainage and cultivation is needed in order to protect our peat soils for future generations.
The Waikato region contains about 50 per cent of New Zealand’s peatlands. Waikato peatlands cover approximately 94,000 hectares and contain about 2,700 million cubic metres of peat.
Peat forms from the build up of partially rotted plant material in wet environments. Waikato peatlands have taken over 18,000 years to form and are up to 11 metres deep.
Drainage has greatly improved our ability to farm peatlands, however too much drainage can lead to:
- increased shrinkage of peat soils
- large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) being lost to the atmosphere – contributing to greenhouse gas emissions.
Waikato peatlands contain about 76 million tonnes of carbon. When peat is drained for development, the carbon in peat becomes exposed to air. The carbon is then able to bind with oxygen (O2) in the air (oxidation) to form carbon dioxide gas (CO2), a greenhouse gas. It’s estimated that developed peatland releases about 1.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.
Find out more about carbon dioxide and climate change.
Peat is a highly productive growing medium. Peat soils need drainage and cultivation to establish productive pastures and crops. However, this leads to irreversible shrinkage and oxidation (loss of carbon as carbon dioxide). Peat shrinkage is estimated to occur at about 20 cm per year after the initial cultivation, reducing to two centimetres per year as the peat becomes more compact and resilient.
Too much drainage of peatlands can also:
- cause shrinkage or loss of wetlands
- reduce water levels in neighbouring wetlands and peat lakes.
If we don’t manage our peat carefully, it will continue to shrink until eventually there will be no peat left.
As peat shrinks, the depth of fertile topsoil also decreases. This means that further drainage, cultivation and pasture renewal are needed to maintain productivity, increasing the cost to farmers.
When managed properly peat is a valuable, highly productive resource. To be able to farm on peat soils long-term, farmers must find a balance between keeping the water table low enough for production, but high enough to minimise peat loss.
There are four key steps to maintaining a good water table in peat areas:
1. Avoid deep drainage
Deep drains in peat cause over-drainage and rapid subsidence of peat soils. As the peat dries it shrinks and cracks, making soils difficult to re-wet. Rainwater flows down into the subsoil through cracks in the peat. When peat dries it becomes waxy and doesn’t reabsorb water easily.
By keeping drains shallow, you’ll help keep the water table high enough to protect your peat.
2. Maintain the water table over summer
Keeping the water table high in drier periods is important for pasture growth and maintaining soil quality, for both peat and mineral soils. This can be achieved by putting weirs or stop gates in your drains.
Water table management can be difficult to achieve on an individual farm. This is because ground water is a resource that spans property boundaries. It may be useful for you to get together with your neighbours to discuss summer water table management. Better water table management will minimise shrinkage, allowing you to extend summer grass growth and farm your peat soils profitably for longer.
3. Fence drains and spray weeds
Controlling weeds and fencing drains to exclude stock reduces maintenance costs associated with machine cleaning drains.
Weeds should be sprayed in summer (January/February) before they seed. Note that glyphosate (‘RoundUp’) is the only herbicide approved for use over water.
Less machine cleaning of drains saves money. It also reduces impacts on water quality and the risk of drain deepening. Drains only need to be cleaned if their ability to function has been reduced by silt or weed growth.
Most silt in drains comes from stock damaging the drain banks. By fencing off your drains you’ll greatly reduce the need to machine clean them. A single electric wire is usually enough on most dairy farms.
4. Do not deepen drains during maintenance
Continual deepening leads to over-drainage, and makes pasture less productive. Keep your drains shallower and protect your valuable pasture.
Peat is naturally anaerobic (has no oxygen present) and is very acid (soil pH <4.5). Cultivation creates a surface layer of peat that’s aerated. When lime is added to peat, the pH is raised, making it less acidic. Aeration and lime make peat more suitable for a wider range of plants, such as pasture or crops.
However, cultivation causes peat to shrink twice as fast as it does under pasture. So the less cultivation you do, the longer your peat soil will last.
When you do have to cultivate, use equipment that creates minimal disturbance. Try to:
- avoid chopping the peat too finely – this destroys the fibrous structure of the soil
- avoid using rotary hoes on peat soils
- try using disc ploughs, power harrows, chisel ploughs and paddle ploughs
- use no-till methods to renew pasture where possible – such as direct drilling.
Use your farm consultants to get the most up to date information on the best pasture species for your area. Some points to remember for peat soils:
- Maintaining a dense pasture sward is one of the best ways to protect your peat soil.
- Some herbicides behave differently on peat soils and may not be as effective.
- Overgrazing should be avoided – any bare patches of peat will shrink faster, resulting in an uneven surface.
- Minimise pugging during the wet winter months.

Posted: Mar 28 2016
Here's the video that led to this post in case you missed it:
I have always planned to start a garden so much so I took a Botany class in undergrad. Biggest mistake ever it was so boring and difficult.
Fast forward almost 10 years later and I finally have a garden so much more exciting.
So how'd I do it? First I realized I have a huge backyard (for Florida any way) but that doesn't mean I should bite off more than I can chew. Therefore, I decided to research small space gardening until I got the hang of it. What I found was pallet gardening turns out to be the most organized and easy way to start.
However, don't run out and get pallets from where ever you can find them there's a very specific code and list of do's and don't for selecting your pallet see the image below. I only selected HT pallets because I am growing edibles.
Not sure where to get pallets? Start with craigslist there's always a stack in the free section and local big box stores tend to toss them here's a full list on other places to source free pallets: http://www.1001pallets.com/where-to-get-pallets/
Now you have your pallets you now have to decide your layout keeping in mind beauty and space in your backyard, balcony or rooftop. You will want enough space to cut or treat each side of the pallet so you need walking and knelling space.
You also want to make sure it's visibly appealing think Better Homes and Garden appealing not just functional. This is important because you want it to be a heaven not a task. It will consume a lot of your time so make sure it's a space you can enjoy. I included a small table in my space to have a cup of tea or to sit and work. In small space gardens you want to make sure you use every inch wisely. So also consider vertical gardens. You can see below I use the wood fence to grow things like flowers, herbs, lavender and even added a catnip bin for my 2 fur-babies to have access to.
Here's the garden supplies you need:
Organic Soil & Compost Mix
Buckets, Planters, Tin Cans, Glass Jars and any other recyclable creative pots you can find
Large popsicle craft sticks
Many people recommend stapling the landscaping paper to the bottom of the pallet and just placing it on the ground we wanted to avoid root crowding so we dug a 2' deep hole and placed the landscaping paper in it then the drain rock, then stapled it to the pallet. This way uses more soil but allows your space to be more varied for growing carrots or other rooted vegetables. However it does mean it's permanent so if you desire to move your pallet you may not want to do this.
Steps to actually start your pallet garden:
1. Design your layout
2. Collect Materials
3. Dismantle Pallets I used a hammer and got an amazing workout pulling the nails out however this guys has an easier way: I only needed to remove the bottom pieces my pallet were already box shaped instead of rows it depends on what you are growing.
4. Prep your area and soil for us we had to level the area, cut the grass on the lowest setting possible, rake up the left overs, cover it with landscaping paper
5. Dig the 2' for each box, drape with landscaping paper - leaving excess to staple later, put in drain rocks, drop in Organic soil and compost mix, staple landscaping paper to box
6. Cover entire area around boxes with mulch, top off boxes with extra organic soil and compost
7. Now your area is ready and you can plant seeds.
Moving on to vertical garden
1. Gather planters after layout is decided
2. Add holes to planters for drainage
3. For glass containers add rocks at the bottom
4. Stabilize planters to fence with screws or hooks
5. Add soil
Now you are ready to add seeds.
Here's Insight on steps to do a pallet garden vertically: http://lifeonthebalcony.com/how-to-turn-a-pallet-into-a-garden/
Compost? Do I really have to collect old food, stir it and risk rodents in my backyard to be an official organic gardener?
No. The thought of rodents handout in my yard because of organic composting did not sit well with me even with my two feline ninjas. So I decided to direct compost. This means I save all my banana peels, egg shells, leftover scraps from my juicer and I directly add them to the soil. How amazing is that? You aren't wasting anything or adding to landfills you can literally add all vegetation back to the soil for nutrients (no meat or human or animal feces I'd stick to vegetables and fruit). Additionally, cow manure and compost is readily available at every home improvement store that's what I started with in addition to adding my scraps.
How Much Can I Grow?
It depends on how many pallets you have? Here' s a good visual to guide you.
What Can I Grow?
It depends on the space you have and your Zone. I live in South Florida in Boca Raton and my zone is 10b.
Here's how to find out the zone you live in: http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/
When you purchase seeds it will also reference these zones.
Truth Be Told:
Gardening is not for the faint of heart it's real work remember is a career for some. It's not all lemonade and fresh strawberries. I have only been at it for 1 week but I have spent months researching how to's. There's a lot of forecasting, drawing, organizing and researching involved. That's why I decided to start this segment to share my findings to help out the next urban gardener. I am sure it will be highly rewarding and bottom line it's a valuable life skill.
I will share my Pinterest Board later today on what inspired me and give you gals updates on the latest happenings with the garden often.

Suppose the various trees and grasses of the one thousand million Sumeru-worlds including herbs growing in the thickets, forests, mountains, ravines and valleys, on the ground, and by the rivers, all these plants being different in names and forms, were covered with a dark cloud, and then watered by a rainfall at the same time. The small, middle and large roots, stems, branches and leaves of the trees and grasses including herbs growing in the thickets and forests were watered. So were the tall and short trees, whether they were superior or middle or inferior. Those plants were given more or less water by the same rain from the same cloud, and grew differently according to their species. They obtained different flowers and fruits although they grew on the same ground and received water from the same rain.
“Kasyapa, know this! I, the Tathagata, am like the cloud. I appeared in this world just as the large cloud rose. I expounded the Dharma to gods, men and asuras of the world with a loud voice just as the large cloud covered all the one thousand million Sumeru-worlds.
And in gathas:
Kasyapa, know this!
Suppose a large cloud rose in the sky,
And covered everything on the earth.
The cloud was so merciful
That it was about to send a rainfall.
And thunder crashed in the distance,
Causing people to rejoice.
The cloud covered the sun,
And cooled the earth.
It hung down
As low as if we could reach it.
Now the rain came down
To all the quarters of the earth.
The rainwater was immeasurable.
It soaked all the earth.
There were many plants
In the retired and quiet places
Of the mountains, rivers and ravines.
They were herbs, cereal-plants, young rice-plants,
Vegetables, sugar canes, and other grasses;
Fruit-trees including vines,
And other trees, tall and short.
They were sufficiently watered by the rain.
So were all the dry lands.
The herbs and trees grew thick by the rain.
All the grasses and trees in thickets and forests
Were watered variously according to their species
By the rain water of the same taste
Coming down from the [same] cloud.
All the trees grew differently
According to their species.
They became superior or middle or inferior
Or tall or short trees.
The roots, trunks, branches, leaves,
Flowers and fruits of the various trees
Were given a fine and glossy luster
By the same rain.
Although watered by the same rain,
Some of them were tall, while others not,
Because they were different
In their entities, appearances and natures.
I am like the cloud.
I appeared in this world
Just as the large cloud covered
Everything on the earth. | agronomy |

Rooted in our ancestral DNA, this act of nurturing the earth to produce flora and food is therapeutic and fulfilling. Amidst the myriad of gardening techniques, one particular method has risen in prominence, capturing the imagination of novices and experts alike: the raised garden beds. Combining aesthetics with functionality, this approach is much more than a mere trend. It’s a transformative technique, reshaping how we interact with our gardens. As we journey forward, we’ll uncover the myriad benefits of raised garden beds and provide insights into its application, ensuring every gardener can harness its full potential.
Why Choose Raised Garden Beds?
Raised garden beds have rapidly risen in popularity among gardening enthusiasts and for good reasons. They offer enhanced soil control, allowing for an optimal mix tailored to specific plants. Their elevated design ensures improved drainage, preventing waterlogged roots and promoting healthier plant growth. Moreover, these beds reduce the physical strain on gardeners, eliminating the need for constant bending and making gardening more accessible to people of all ages. Additionally, the contained environment significantly decreases weed invasion, streamlining garden maintenance. In essence, choosing raised garden beds is a decision that combines aesthetics, convenience, and efficiency, truly redefining the gardening experience.
Better Soil Control
The foundation of any successful garden lies in its soil. Soil quality directly impacts plant health, growth, and yield. In traditional ground-level gardens, we are often at the mercy of the existing soil composition. However, raised garden beds present a game-changer. With them, we have the liberty to curate and control the soil blend. We can mix the right amounts of sand, silt, and clay, ensuring the perfect loamy texture. Add in the right nutrients, and we pave the way for robust, thriving plants. Ultimately, this precise control over the soil guarantees healthier plants and significantly better yields, making our gardening efforts fruitful.
Water is life, but too much water can spell doom for plants. Poor drainage leads to waterlogged soils, which can suffocate plant roots and foster diseases. Traditional gardens, depending on their location and soil type, can sometimes retain more water than plants prefer. Enter raised garden beds. Elevated above ground level, these beds facilitate faster water drainage. The loose, well-aerated soil in raised beds ensures that water doesn’t stagnate. This is a blessing for plants that prefer drier conditions or those that are particularly sensitive to overwatering. By opting for raised beds, we provide plants with the ideal moisture levels they crave.
Less Strain on Your Back
Gardening is therapeutic, but it can also be physically demanding. Hours spent hunched over, tilling, planting, and weeding can take a toll on our backs. Over time, this can lead to strains, aches, and even long-term back issues. Raised garden beds, by virtue of their design, offer a solution. Elevating the garden off the ground reduces the need to bend over constantly. Whether we’re sowing seeds or plucking ripe tomatoes, we do so at a comfortable height. This ergonomic advantage means we can indulge in our gardening passion without the accompanying physical strain. It’s a win-win, promoting both our garden’s and our own well-being.
Weeds are the persistent adversaries of gardeners everywhere. They compete with our plants for nutrients, space, and sunlight. Regularly weeding is essential but can be time-consuming and tedious. Here’s where raised garden beds shine. The controlled environment of a raised bed, combined with the use of fresh soil and compost, drastically reduces weed seeds’ presence. Even if a few weeds do sprout, the loose soil makes them easier to pull out. Over time, we spend less energy battling these unwanted intruders and more time nurturing our plants. Raised beds, in essence, let us focus on the joys of gardening, minimizing the mundane tasks that often come with it.
Setting Up Your Raised Garden Bed
Establishing a raised garden bed requires a blend of planning and creativity. First and foremost is selecting the ideal material, with options ranging from durable cedar to elegant stone, each bringing its unique aesthetic to the garden. Size determination is crucial, ensuring the bed is spacious enough for plants yet manageable to maintain. Positioning is equally vital, with considerations of sunlight exposure dictating the bed’s placement to guarantee plants receive their required daily light. Lastly, the filling process involves layering materials, starting with a weed barrier like cardboard, followed by a nourishing mix of compost, peat moss, and vermiculite. Setting up a raised garden bed is not just about constructing a container for plants; it’s about creating an optimal environment for them to thrive.
Selecting the Right Material
When it comes to crafting the perfect raised garden bed, the material we select plays a pivotal role. Different materials offer varied advantages, both in terms of function and form. Wood, for instance, is a classic choice, providing a natural look that seamlessly blends with the garden backdrop. Within the realm of wood, cedar and redwood stand out, offering innate resistance to rot and pests, ensuring our beds remain durable for years. But wood isn’t our only option. Stone and concrete blocks provide a sturdier, more permanent structure, while adding a touch of elegance to our garden. Recycled composite materials are eco-friendly alternatives that offer longevity without the risk of rot or termites. In our selection process, we weigh aesthetics against durability, ensuring our raised bed not only looks good but also stands the test of time.
Determining the Size
The size of our raised bed should align with both our gardening goals and the space constraints we might have. A common width for raised beds is 3 to 4 feet. This dimension ensures we can comfortably access the bed from both sides without stretching too much, allowing easy reach to the center. Length, on the other hand, offers more flexibility. It can be as short as 4 feet or stretch out to 8 feet or more, depending on our available space. Depth is another factor to consider. A minimum of 6 to 12 inches is ideal for most plants, though deeper beds can offer more room for root crops like carrots. In essence, when determining the size, we balance our plants’ needs with our own comfort and the space at our disposal.
Positioning is Crucial
While setting up our raised bed, positioning is paramount. Most vegetables and flowering plants thrive with ample sunlight, requiring a good 6-8 hours of direct exposure daily. Before setting up, we observe our chosen spot throughout the day, ensuring it doesn’t fall under prolonged shadows from nearby trees or structures. If we’re growing plants with lesser sunlight needs, like lettuces or spinach, a spot with filtered sunlight might work. Additionally, we consider accessibility, ensuring there’s enough room to move around the bed and that it’s within reach of a water source. Strategic positioning optimizes plant growth while also making our gardening tasks smoother.
Filling the Bed
Once our raised bed frame is ready, the next step is filling it with the right soil mix. But before adding soil, a barrier layer can be beneficial. Laying down cardboard or several layers of newspaper at the base suppresses weeds and provides a decomposable layer that improves soil health over time. Atop this, we add our soil mix. A blend of compost, peat moss, and vermiculite offers a balanced, nutrient-rich, and well-draining medium. Compost introduces essential nutrients, peat moss retains moisture, and vermiculite ensures good aeration. As we fill the bed, we ensure even distribution, pressing down gently to eliminate air pockets. This carefully crafted soil environment becomes the nurturing space where our plants will flourish.
Caring for Our Raised Garden
Attending to a raised garden bed demands a keen understanding of its unique needs. Due to its elevated design, the soil tends to dry faster, necessitating regular monitoring and potentially more frequent watering. As plants grow, they exhaust the soil’s nutrients, making it essential to replenish with compost or suitable organic fertilizers. Additionally, to ensure long-term soil health and reduce the risk of diseases, practicing crop rotation becomes indispensable. Swapping plants seasonally not only enhances soil vitality but also staves off pests. In essence, caring for our raised garden involves a delicate balance of hydration, nutrition, and rotation, ensuring our plants remain robust and our garden flourishes.
One of the main distinctions of raised garden beds is their elevated nature, which, while offering many benefits, also means they tend to dry out faster than ground-level gardens. This makes regular watering crucial to ensure plants remain hydrated. However, watering isn’t just about frequency; it’s also about accuracy. We employ a keen sense of observation, checking the soil’s moisture levels often. If the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch, it’s time to water. While doing so, we ensure even water distribution, allowing it to seep deep into the roots. Drip irrigation or soaker hoses can be efficient tools in this process, delivering water directly to the roots and reducing evaporation losses. By maintaining the right moisture balance, we keep our plants in optimal health, avoiding both underwatering and overwatering pitfalls.
The nutrient-rich environment of raised beds provides an initial boost to our plants, but over time, as plants grow and flourish, they deplete these nutrients. To sustain this vibrant growth, we need to replenish the soil’s nutrient content. Instead of resorting to chemical fertilizers, we opt for sustainable choices. Regularly adding compost enriches the soil with organic matter, introducing a range of essential nutrients. If we notice signs of nutrient deficiency, like yellowing leaves or stunted growth, we might consider supplementing with organic fertilizers. These offer a balanced nutrient profile, ensuring our plants get all they need without the risk of chemical buildup. Fertilizing isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach; it requires observation and adaptation, ensuring we provide just what our garden needs and nothing more.
Continuously planting the same crops in the same spot can be detrimental in the long run. It not only depletes specific nutrients from the soil but also makes the area more susceptible to pests and diseases associated with that particular plant. This is where crop rotation comes into play. By changing the type of crops we plant in specific sections of our raised bed each season, we break the pest and disease cycle, reducing their chances of establishing a stronghold. Additionally, different plants have varied nutrient requirements. By rotating them, we ensure a more balanced nutrient extraction from the soil, preventing specific deficiencies. For example, after growing a nitrogen-consuming crop like lettuce, we might plant beans, which are known to fix nitrogen back into the soil. Through strategic crop rotation, we not only protect our garden from potential threats but also promote a holistic, sustainable growth environment.
The Many Benefits of Raised Gardening
Raised gardening transcends the traditional, offering gardeners a plethora of advantages. Aesthetically, these elevated beds provide opportunities for innovative design, transforming gardens into visual masterpieces. Functionally, they herald an early onset of the growing season, as their soil warms up quicker, granting plants a growth advantage. Moreover, they serve as natural barriers against certain pests, minimizing unwanted intrusions. Perhaps most notably, the controlled environment of raised beds, combined with optimal soil conditions, culminates in increased plant productivity. Whether one seeks beauty, functionality, or enhanced yield, raised gardening emerges as a holistic approach, encapsulating the many facets of an enriched gardening experience.
Aesthetics and Design
Raised garden beds are not just functional; they are a canvas for our creativity. With their defined borders and elevated structure, they allow us to experiment with design in ways traditional gardens might not. We can choose to arrange our beds in geometric patterns, creating a grid or labyrinth design. Alternatively, we can opt for a more free-form, organic layout, weaving beds around existing landscape features. The material, color, and height of the borders add another layer of design flexibility. Whether we’re crafting a minimalist garden with sleek metal-edged beds or a rustic retreat with reclaimed wood, the choices are vast. The end result? A garden that’s not only productive but also a visual masterpiece, reflecting our personal style and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of our outdoor space.
Extend the Growing Season
Every gardener cherishes the growing season, that precious time when conditions are ripe for plants to flourish. With raised garden beds, we have the advantage of extending this season. How? The elevated soil in raised beds tends to warm up more quickly in the spring compared to ground-level gardens. This means we can start planting earlier than usual, giving our plants a growth head start. Similarly, come autumn, the soil retains warmth a bit longer, allowing plants a prolonged growth period before the first frost. This extended growing season is particularly beneficial for crops that need a longer maturation period or for gardeners in regions with shorter growing seasons. It maximizes our gardening potential, ensuring we make the most of each season.
Barrier Against Pests
Every garden, no matter how well-maintained, has to grapple with pests. From munching caterpillars to voracious slugs, these little invaders can wreak havoc on our plants. Raised garden beds offer a line of defense. The elevated structure can deter certain pests, like slugs and snails, from easily accessing the plants. For burrowing pests like moles or gophers, a wire mesh at the base of the bed can act as a barrier. Moreover, the controlled environment of raised beds allows us to better monitor and manage any pest invasions, nipping the problem in the bud. While no solution is entirely pest-proof, raised beds certainly give us an upper hand in the ongoing battle against these garden adversaries.
The controlled environment of a raised garden bed, combined with optimal soil conditions and improved drainage, sets the stage for plants to truly thrive. With roots having the freedom to grow deep and unimpeded, plants tend to be healthier and more robust. The result? Enhanced productivity. Vegetables grow bigger and more abundant. Flowering plants produce more blooms. The yield, in general, is often noticeably higher compared to traditional gardens. For us, this means more fresh veggies for our table, more flowers to adorn our homes, and the undeniable satisfaction of witnessing the fruits of our labor. Raised gardening, with its myriad benefits, truly elevates our gardening experience in every sense of the word.
Stepping into the world of raised garden beds is akin to embarking on a gardening renaissance. These elevated structures offer more than just a contemporary look; they bring forth a slew of advantages that redefine our relationship with gardening. From the enhanced control over soil conditions to the extended growing seasons, the merits are manifold. The added aesthetic appeal, coupled with the practical benefits, positions raised beds as more than just a fleeting gardening fad. They represent a holistic approach to gardening, where form meets function, and results are amplified. As we navigate our gardening journey, embracing raised beds can be the game-changer we’ve been seeking. It’s not merely about following a trend but about optimizing, innovating, and truly elevating our horticultural pursuits. Dive into the raised gardening realm with us, and together, let’s unearth its boundless potential. | agronomy |

In row-crop rotations, at least half the rotation area is in row crops planted in wide rows, planted as single seeds at the corners of a square, or planted in clusters at the corners of a rectangle. Such crop rotations are practiced on floodplains and reclaimed wetlands. Such crop rotations are used in the arid regions of Northern Kazakhstan and in the steppe region of Siberia. These fields are typically small and rectangular. Small private farms are limited to a single crop rotation with a minimum number of crops. A quick way to get fast/easy help is to craft yourself an MFFS MultiTool, hold it in your hand and shift+right click to change its mode, until it is in guide mode (picture of a book).

There are a variety of conventions and rules to drawing such patterns of electric field lines. They must be cultivated in certain ways; for example, they require frequent interrow tillage, which removes weeds and helps retain soil moisture. Average: 4.5 (40 votes) Oracle Presentation Minimizer. In grain-row crop rotations, at least half the rotation area is in grains, which alternate with row crops. The landscape of open fields was frequently called "champion country".. Such crop rotations are common in the nonchernozem zone of the RSFSR, in the forest-steppe regions of the European USSR, and on irrigated lands in arid regions. They contain scattered stones and boulders and originated in surface clearance for agriculture.. In the Czech Republic (ancient Bohemia, Moravia and Czech Silesia), Ervín Černý undertook a study of medieval field systems. Spring spike crops and groat crops sown by means of broadcasting—such as wheat, barley, oats, millet, and buckwheat—remove roughly similar amounts of nutrient elements from the soil, provide little shade, and are often infested with weeds. The boundaries of earlier field systems that have fallen out of use, can sometimes be deduced by studying earthworks (lumps and bumps), cropmarks or by using geophysics. , Where early fields survive in Wales, most are associated with settlement features that indicate an Iron Age or Romano-British date.

A 3 bedroom house requires a 5 person plant, a 4 bedroom house a 6 person plant, etc. True fallows, both bare and early, and strip fallows retain the moisture from spring and summer rains well, help control weeds, stimulate useful microbiological soil activity, and increase the supply of soil nutrients. : a system of land cultivation under which the common land is divided into three parts of which one or two in rotation lie fallow in each year and the rest are cultivated After the harvesting of various kinds of crops, plant matter remains in the soil in varying quantities. Denmark, and in Montana, Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio in the USA. In the GDR and in the Federal Republic of Germany and other countries in Western Europe, crop rotations with various catch crops, such as undersowing crops, stubble crops, and winter crops, have come into broader use, which has made it possible to plant up to 30 percent more in the same rotation area and, in regions with abundant precipitation, to protect the soil from destruction. Adjacent areas were often enclosed at different times, leading to a change in orientation of the field systems between the two areas. For example, a field system that doesn't respect a Roman road is likely to predate it. Perennial leguminous grasses, such as clover, alfalfa, and sainfoin, and mixes of such grasses and cereals are good soil fertility builders in irrigated and well-watered regions, excellent predecessors for all crops except legumes, provided they attain good development. In grain-fallow rotations, grain crops alternate with true fallow; 50–70 percent of the rotation area is in grains. The most famous ancient field system in Ireland is the Céide Fields, an extensive series of stone walls dating back to 3500 BC. Brno: Muzejní a vlastivědná společnost, 1992, 143 s.

In field crop rotations, most of the rotation area is in grains, potatoes, and industrial crops, and in feed crop rotations, more than half is in feed crops. Long before crop rotation became a science, it was observed, in actual practice, that crop yields decline if the same crop is grown continuously in the same place, especially if no fertilizers are added. The beneficial effect of row crops lasts two years. The four winners would then join the other twelve to fill out the sixteen-team field. In the USSR, republic land-allocation planning institutes, in consultation with kolkhoz and sovkhoz specialists, draw up the farm’s crop rotation plan at the same time they draw up its general organizational-economic plan. The land was divided into discontinuous plots, and cultivated and occupied by a number of tenants to whom it is leased jointly. The use of open fields began to decline in the 15th century. Synthesis of the data amassed by world science has led to the modern theory of crop rotation. THREE-FIELD SYSTEM The three-field system predominated in Russian peasant agriculture until the Stalin era. This system was called the three-field rotation. Their beneficial effect lasts at least two to three years. The conventions are simply established in order that electric field line patterns communicate the greatest amount of information about the nature of the electric field surrounding a charged object. Fertilized winter grains are good predecessors for row crops, perennial grasses, winter cereals, legumes, and flax. Click here for audio of Episode 26. Thus, different plants have different effects on the physical properties of the soil, including the soil’s structure and resistance to water and wind erosion. In the USA, Canada, and several European countries, soil-conserving crop rotations are introduced in order to control soil erosion.

This molecular circuit acts as a "bio-timer" that controls the diverse growth and differentiation pathways in plants and animals. The findings provide valuable insight to understanding similar processes that occur in animals since the logic of development and many of the components involved in this molecular circuit are conserved.
Using Arabidopsis as a model plant to study the molecular mechanisms of time regulated delays in developmental process, Dr Ito's team has demonstrated that flower development utilizes cell division to provide stem cells with a window of opportunity to change fate.
Plant floral stem cells divide a limited number of times before they stop and terminally differentiate, but the mechanisms that control this timing remain unclear. The precise temporal activation of the Arabidopsis zinc finger repressor KNUCKLES is essential for the coordinated growth and differentiation of floral stem cells.
Dr Ito's team has identified an epigenetic1 mechanism in which the floral homeotic protein AGAMOUS induces KNUCKLES at approximately two days of delay which results in proper and complete flowering of the plant. Premature induction of KNUCKLES will result in incomplete flowers. The developmental timing is measured by the floral stem cells by a cell division-dependent timer.
Understanding the basic principles of plant growth and development has significant impact for basic biology. It helps to create biotechnological improvements for the production of high-value crops, especially in the ever-changing environments. This "biotimer" also provides fine-tuning ability for the design of cell factories to produce useful and valuable metabolites and compounds.
"We are curious with what causes each plant to have its own flowers that come in different shapes and number of floral organs," said Dr Ito. "Timing regulation is important for the co-ordination of multiple processes in nature as well as in industry. In parallel to pursuing basic research, we plan to develop timer modules that are useful in translational aspect of synthetic biology."
Dr Ito has been studying the flower development using Arabidopsis and rice as model plant species to understand the molecular basis of plant growth and differentiation.
"80% of human food is produced from flowering plants such as grains and fruits. Hence, the fundamental understanding of flower development may help to improve the supply of food," said Dr Ito.
"In TLL, we utilize a broad range of model organisms such as Arabidopsis to study development biology which can provide insights into the functions and mechanisms of other more complex organisms," said Prof Chan Soh Ha, Executive Director of TLL. "The discovery from Dr Ito provides basic understanding on how a plant controls its growth which is important for all living organisms and this has the potential for many downstream applications."

The Edo State Government has entered into a partnership with Heifer International and Amo Farms Sieberer Limited for the development of a modular poultry processing plant.
When completed, the plant would process 10,000 poultry birds daily.
Disclosing the partnership to journalists in Benin City, the Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Stephen Idehenre, said the state government is committed to making the state Nigeria's poultry hub.
He noted, “The essence of the partnership is to create a market for our poultry farmers. We have brought in poultry birds off-takers, which is Amo farms to off-take and process at least 10,000 poultry birds per day. Most of those abandoned poultry farms will be revived because there is a ready market now.
“If we must grow the agribusiness, we must begin to find solutions to the off-takers challenge we have in all the agricultural value chains.”
On his part, the Country Director, Heifer Nigeria, Mr. Rufus Idris, said the initiative would increase access to premium market, finance and new technology for smallholder poultry farmers.
He said, “The project will improve productivity and sustainable livelihoods income for 500,000 smallholder farmers by 2030. The project will support market system actors to improve capacity competitiveness, resilience and bridge the demand and supply gaps.
“In this tripartite market system development partnership, the state government will provide the enabling business development environment.”
Idris added, “The new poultry factory would off-take broiler and noiler breeds of birds produced by hundreds of thousands of smallholder poultry farmers that are targeted as beneficiaries of the project.” | agronomy |

Full-spectrum, adjustable colors, long lifespan, and cost are just a few. We’ve broken down each of these aspects into manageable sections so you can choose the perfect light for your indoor plants. Read on to discover the advantages of LED Grow Lights for indoor plants. Let’s begin! Using a full-spectrum LED grow light will ensure the best possible growth for your plants.
Among the advantages of full-spectrum LED grow lights for indoor plants is their low energy consumption. While many growers are required to heat their rooms during the colder months, full-spectrum LEDs do not produce heat. They are also more energy efficient than many other lighting options. Read on to find out how to select the right full-spectrum grow light for your plants. Here are the key benefits of full-spectrum LED grow lights.
The highest PPFD of this light is 1385 umol/s at 12 inches. It is sufficient to boost plant yield. However, if you want to lower the PPFD, you can adjust the light’s brightness by dimming it to forty percent. Dimming the light is also possible, which allows you to adjust the amount of light depending on your plant’s growth phase.
Adjustable colors for LED grow lights for indoors plants offer greater flexibility. Full spectrum lights, or full spectrum LEDs, produce light with both visible and invisible wavelengths. LED grow lights with adjustable colors allow growers to isolate certain spectrum colors for a variety of purposes. Full spectrum lights improve plant growth, encourage root development, and provide improved nutrition. Here are a few reasons why growers should consider full spectrum LEDs for indoor plants.
High-pressure sodium vapor lamps provide light in the red and yellow spectrums, whereas LEDs produce light that is closer to the spectrum of the sun. HAPS bulbs are generally used for bloom set and are a good choice for large-scale growers. Adjustable LED grow lights for indoor plants use half the power of traditional bulbs and produce almost no heat. Full spectrum LEDs have been developed to mimic the full spectrum of sunlight.
While many people prefer LED grow lights for their indoor plants because of their low power consumption and long lifespan, these lights do not last forever. Like any other light source, they will lose their quality over time. While most conventional light fixtures depreciate in the first six to nine months, LED grow lights can last for 10 to 20 years! Nevertheless, there are some factors to consider when choosing an LED grow light for your indoor plants.
While LEDs produce less heat than other light sources, they are much cooler. Heat can cause damage to your plants’ foliage and moisture levels, and can even burn their leaves. LEDs are also long-lasting, lasting up to 50,000 hours, a five-times longer lifespan than their fluorescent counterparts. Additionally, LED grow lights are less expensive and save growers money. They are also eco-friendly and will reduce waste and energy consumption.
Growing indoor plants requires proper light, but not the sunlight. LED grow lights provide the necessary light indoor plants need to grow. Since they are energy efficient, they are more affordable than traditional lights. There are some factors you should keep in mind when determining the cost of LED grow lights for indoor plants. Listed below are some of the most important factors to consider before you make a purchase. While you should purchase a light that is compatible with the size and type of indoor plants you are growing.
First, consider the cost of electricity. A high-quality LED grow light will reduce your electricity costs. Most LED grow lights use a lot of electricity, but you can easily cut down on the cost by switching to more efficient bulbs. The cost of electricity is typically expressed in cents per kWhr, which you can find from your electricity provider. Remember to include fees and taxes in the price of electricity. If you’re using LEDs for indoor plants, the cost per kWhr will be approximately $0.08, and after tax, it will cost about $0.12. | agronomy |

Our drip irrigation system is designed to enhance the sustainable use of water. Our deep water well is not a strong one and so we are designing a water catch and containment system that will provide much of the water needed for irrigation purposes.
At the head of the organic blueberry plots is a 1600 gallon water storage tank that is connected to two outflowing irrigation system zones: (a) covers the first six organic blueberry rows and (b) covers the rest (8) organic blueberry rows. For the most part, gravity flow from the water storage tank provides the propulsion for drip irrigation. Water exiting from the storage tank passes through a filter and then through a meter valve that can be set to cut off when a speciffied amount of liquid is passed.
Dripworks designed our low pressure gravity based system by recommending the use of 3/4" main zone lines and 1/2" row feeder lines. We have two emitter sizes: 4 gph (placed on the first six rows) and 2 gph (placed on the remaining 18 rows). I initially prepared sketches of our blueberry plots along with estimates of the slopes. The design folk at DripWorks engineered and selected the drip irrigation components that they will were most approprite.
Our primary storage tank is a 1600 gallon tank (Norwesco Green Fresh Water Polyethylene Tank) from American Tank Company which cost $868 including fittings and shipping from California. After constructing a flat pad with a pea gravel base in the side of the hill above the organic blueberry plots.
This water storage tank (1600 gallons) are the primary source of water for the organic plants.
This photograph shows the control valves from the storage tank and leading to the two water treatment zones.
This photograph should the shut-off valve that is at the head end of each row.
This photograph shows the drip line (0.5 inch) in relationship to the plant row. Note the little green drip emitter located in the upper right quadrant of the photograph. | agronomy |

Healthy. Conscious. Wild.
This is what the Amazonian Brazil nut is all about, and it is not only healthy, but tasty. Its smooth, buttery texture fills the mouth with a delicious, nutty flavour, like that of its tree nut sister macadamia. And the best part: Brazil nuts are the richest source of selenium to be found in any food product.
Brazil nuts are harvested in the wild Amazon rainforest. Their massive trees rise above the canopy, each one producing a fruit that encases 10 to 20 individual nuts. Once these ripen, they fall to the forest floor, waiting to be collected.
However, these trees are in danger. In June 2020, Reuters reported that the deforestation of the rainforest could be at its worst in over a decade. Wildfires, along with farmers cutting down trees to make way for cattle or agricultural products are constant threats.
Conserving the Brazil nut tree has become a symbol for saving the rainforest. Sofía Rubio, the founder of Peruvian company Shiwi, wants to get this message to the World. | agronomy |

And the Regional Agricultural Show Development Grants Program is open to regional show societies for the maintenance and upgrade of existing infrastructure.
Regional Show Societies can get support for building, purchase, rent or construction of new infrastructure related to the running of an agricultural show on regional showgrounds and applicants should note the objectives of the program which are to keep agricultural shows running, bring communities together and bridge the divide between country and city.
By contrast, the National Landcare Program Smart Farms Grants have two outcomes which are the increased adoption of best practice sustainable agriculture as well as to increase the capacity of land managers to adopt best practice sustainable agriculture.
Both programs have an online application portal. | agronomy |

Today, we embark on a journey into the verdant world of aloe vera. Ahead, we’ll be exploring another question from the Aloe Vera Trivia Quiz about propagating Aloe Vera by either seeds or cuttings.
So prepare to unlock the secrets of aloe vera propagation as we dive deep into the roots of this versatile succulent plant.
See if you can answer this question from The Aloe Vera Trivia Quiz before reading on.
When it comes to expanding your aloe vera plant collection, you have two main options for propagation: seeds and cuttings. Each method has its own set of advantages and challenges, but both can be rewarding for those looking to grow their own aloe vera plants at home.
Propagating aloe vera from seeds can be a more time-consuming process compared to using cuttings. Aloe vera seeds are relatively tiny and can take a few weeks to germinate. Additionally, aloe vera plants grown from seeds may not always resemble the parent plant due to genetic variations.
To propagate aloe vera from seeds, you can sow them in a well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, sunny location. Regular watering and patience are key to successfully growing aloe vera from seeds.
Using cuttings is a popular and quicker method of propagating aloe vera. Aloe vera plants readily produce offsets, also known as plantlets or pups, which can be removed from the mother plant and replanted to grow into new plants.
To propagate aloe vera from cuttings, you can carefully remove the offsets from the main plant, allow the cut ends to callus over for a day or two, and then plant them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil lightly moist and provide indirect sunlight for the new plants to thrive.
One of the benefits of propagating aloe vera from cuttings is that the new plants will closely resemble the parent plant, maintaining its desirable traits.
Whether you choose to propagate aloe vera from seeds or cuttings, both methods can be a fun and rewarding way to expand your aloe vera garden. Experiment with both techniques to see which works best for you and enjoy watching your aloe vera plants flourish.
Known for its soothing gel and air-purifying properties, aloe vera is a resilient succulent that thrives in sunny locations with well-draining soil. It’s a versatile plant that can be grown indoors or outdoors, making it a popular choice for both experienced and novice gardeners.
With proper care and attention, aloe vera plants can thrive for many years, providing you with a natural remedy for minor burns and skin irritations, as well as a touch of greenery to brighten up your living space.

Here are some more from “The Aloe Vera Trivia Quiz” that might interest you:
Let’s dig into the common misconceptions surrounding the propagation of aloe vera plants.
Contrary to popular belief, aloe vera plants cannot be propagated through grafting. Grafting is a technique commonly used with fruit trees and some ornamental plants, not with aloe vera.
Aloe vera plants have a different structure that does not lend itself well to the grafting process. Attempting to graft aloe vera onto another plant would most likely result in failure, as the plant’s biology is not conducive to this method.
While it may seem logical to assume that aloe vera can only be propagated through cuttings due to its succulent nature, this is not entirely accurate.
Aloe vera can indeed be propagated through cuttings, but it is not the only method available. Seeds are another viable option for propagating aloe vera plants, providing a different approach to expanding your aloe collection.
While aloe vera seeds are a less common method of propagation compared to cuttings, they can still be used to grow new plants.
Some people mistakenly believe that aloe vera can only be propagated through cuttings because they are more familiar with this method. However, seeds offer another avenue for propagation and can result in healthy, thriving aloe vera plants.
In the world of horticulture and gardening, aloe vera’s propagation methods are as diverse as its many uses. Whether you choose to grow it from seeds or cuttings, the journey of nurturing this resilient plant is a rewarding one.
So, the next time you admire a vibrant aloe vera plant sitting on your windowsill, take a moment to appreciate the wonders of nature and the simple yet remarkable ways in which we can cultivate it.

The creeper in question is an Akebia and the process is called guttation. When the water potential in the roots is less than that in the soil, water enters the plant. At night the stomata (leaf-pores) in most plants are closed to reduce water-loss, so the excess water is exuded via the xylem (pipes in the plant’s plumbing), leaving through special glands called hydathodes. A bit of useful stuff, like sugars and minerals, is lost with the waste water, but the main thing is to keep the water-balance right.
Plants go to immense pains to access and conserve water, but when there is too much of it they tend not to hoard: they return it to the environment. And in the whole of the natural world, resources like water, carbon, nitrogen – you name it – are regulated by the systems and organisms that need them.
Standing there in my pyjamas, I had the thought, trite though it may be, that the Akebia was offering me an object lesson in economy. In the West, many people have too much. Their cupboard-pressure may be too high.
Then I recalled this cantata (“I Have Enough”) composed by Johann Sebastian Bach, that wise old bird: | agronomy |

Harvesting Elderberries the EASY Ways.
Tips collected from www.winepress.us, www.finevinewines.com, www.winesathome.co.uk/forum/ and Mr. Jack Keller of http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/.
How to Tell if the Elderberries are Ripe:
So how do you tell if the berries are ripe before you pick them. Thats not an easy question as lots of people have different opinions on when elderberries are ripe and of course there are differences in wild vs cultivated, there are different species, there are different growing conditions, drought and rain affect the crop also. We are picking canandensis and nigra varieties in a wineyard that has drip irrigation. The birds also like our berries, if the birds haven't been in the bushes we know the berries are not ripe yet. Once they turn from green to reddish to then deep purple black we squish a few berries, the juice must be intensely red and the berry soft before it can be considered ripe. One problem with elderberries is that not all the berries one the same flower head ripen at exactly the same time so that you can have fully ripe berries and a few reddish berries and even an odd green one in the center. It has also been mentioned that some elderberries get a blush on them when they are ripe, this is really easy to see on some species from out west but we rarely see a blush on more than a few berries in the whole wineyard. I wonder if this is a species difference or a geographical difference? Our elderberries go from ripe to raisins or they just fall off with no dusting stage in between.
Different Ripening Levels of Fruit from the Same Flower Head.
20 Hard Green Unripe Berries, 21 Hard Red Unripe Berries, 22 Berries Beginning to Ripen, 23.5 Ripe Soft Berries
Juice from Unripe and Ripe Fruit from the Same Flower Head
20 Hard Green Unripe Berries, Berries are Hard and have Very Little Juice - Dont Pick These, May Make You Sick
21 Hard Red Unripe Berries, Berries are Still Hard but have Clear to Light Red Juice - Dont Pick These
22 Berries Beginning to Ripen, Skin Black, Getting Softer, Juice Turning Red - Dont Pick These
22.5 - 24 Fully Ripe Soft Berries Full of Red Juice - Pick These
You can either pick wild elderberries or grow your own. In our area the wild ones are far apart and in someone elses yard so we decided to grow our own, see links for places to buy elderberry plants. Once the berries are ripe, you have a couple of choices on how to harvest them. First, clip the entire berry cluster/flower head off making sure the berries are RIPE. Discard any green berries or red ones, you only want dark black soft berries, see Flowers page for pictures of ripe berries. Also its a good idea to knock off any bugs, especially the stink bugs.
Pick and Knock in the Bucket:
Rich, who manages a couple of allotments devoted to elderberries for wine making in London, UK. has shared a new method with us on www.Winepress.us. Rich takes the ripe fruit heads and shakes off the elderberries in a bucket, most of his elderberries are the S. Nigra varieties. Rich says the green and unripe berries stay on the stems and just the ripe berries fall into the bucket. We tried that with our berries and found they needed to be quickly knocked several times against the sides of the bucket to get the berries off. Me and the wife picked over 2 gallons of berries in 30 minutes by bucket knocking. We could have gone faster but we had a lot of bugs to pick out first. The berries were ripe, we only had to pick out a few berries that were not ripe, and very FEW stems, including very FEW of the finer small stems. This has become our preferred picking method. We also like to further sort the berries with water, see below.
Harvesting Elderberries by Knocking them in a bucket.
Sorting the Fresh Ripe Berries with Water:
Luc, one of our European members on Winepress.us, shared a very good way to sort out most of the unripe berries that have gotten into the picking bucket. The berries are washed and flushed with cold water. Most of the unripe berries will float and can be floated right out of the bucket. Most of the small stems and bugs will also float away. Though this method is not 100% effective it does get rid of most of the unripe berries. Another bonus is that the cold water chills the berries down quickly.
Washing the unripe berries, bugs, stems and other junk out with water in a bucket.
Some elderberries, especially the small ones and some wild berries dont come off very well with the knock in the bucket method. A wire baking cooling rack or even hardware cloth nailed to a wooden frame can be used to easily strip the berries off of the stems (unknown source). This method leaves a few more stems in the berries than the knocking in the bucket but is much faster than harvesting by hand. The berries can them be passed through the screen again to sort out the stems. The berries can then be sorted with water as above.
Using a screen to harvest elderberries.
Another method for the highest quality harvesting. One advantage to hand picking the berries off of the stems is that the ripe berries come off easily while the unripe green and reddish berries that havent fully ripened are harder to pull away from the stems. So its easy to sort out the green and under ripe reddish berries while picking off the soft ripe black ones. NO, YOU DO NOT PICK EACH BERRY WITH YOUR THUMB AND FOREFINGER. Instead, we take a section of the whole flower head and gently roll with our thumb against our fingers from the center to the end of each section. We are stripping multiple berries off at a time, not each one individually. This goes pretty fast watching TV in a nice comfy chair. And since the ripe ones come off easily you just dont try to roll them with your thumb hard, a really ripe flower head comes clean almost effortlessly while one with a few unripe berries takes a little more work and clues you into maybe you can leave them on the bush for a few more days. We also like to further sort the berries with water, see below.
Freeze and Knockoff:
On the www.winepress.us forum we learned you can freeze the fruit for a couple of days in a ziplock big bag or plastic container and then knock the berries off by slapping the bag against the ground until the berries are knocked off of the stems. You can then sort them through a wire mesh (thanks Jack Keller) to get rid of the bigger stems. The berries can then be used or quickly put back into gallon ziplock freezer bags and into the freezer again. Then another nut designed a sorting table to sort the elderberries from the stems using OSB (thanks Cellardweller). So we froze and meshed and sorted, adding a jigsaw to the table to get the berries to bounce a little more down the table. A few problems for us using these techniques are that the frozen berries thaw quickly so we cant use the sorting table when its warm which limits our elderberry sorting to cold days and we still get a lot of the smaller fine stems and we have to then also make sure to sort out green and red unripe elderberries and frozen bugs, especially the stink bugs. This does work if you have a large volume of berries you want to pick but cant match handpicking for quality. About 5-5.5 pounds of berries will fill up a gallon ziplock bag.
Sorting Frozen Elderberries:
If we choose the freezing method of knocking the berries off we separate out the smaller stems using a shaking sorter table. We saw the original elderberry sorting table on winepress.us/forums made by Cellar Dweller of Wisconsin. The sorting table was made from OSB board with sides, to keep the berries from jumping out, and slanted into a catch container. Cellar Dweller says that the roughest OSB board does the best job of separating the little stems from the elderberries. We added a shaking motor (jigsaw, no blade) to make the berries jiggle a little more going down the sorting table, helping separate the stems a little faster.
Some people advocate the Afro Comb or even a fork for picking off the berries. We tried the comb and found that it still pulled off the unripe fruit and some stems. We may not have been doing it correctly, but it did not seem to be worth the effort, especially comared the the above methods.

Sterino Farms gives customers the opportunity to buy produce that was pulled right from the garden that same morning.
“There’s nothing fresher than having lettuce that was cut that morning and on the dinner plate that night,” Sterino Farms employee Tom Robin said.
The history of the farm began in 1923, when founder Michael Sterino purchased 15 acres in Fife to grow raspberries, blackberries and pie cherries. In 1974, his grandson, Jack Sterino, purchased 20 acres of farmland across the street from the original land after the construction of Interstate-5. Eventually, the farm grew by more than 100 acres, establishing a popular fruit stand that didn’t close its doors until 2006. In the early 90’s the business relocated to its current Puyallup location, 6116 52nd St. E., covering 35 acres of land.
Today, Jack works with his son Jake to continue the family business into its fourth generation. In addition to these personal-sized veggies, Sterino’s also stocks local markets from Canada to Portland. Produce is collected in the morning to be delivered to stores up and down the coast by the afternoon.
“We feature local products like Puyallup valley jams, honey pies from Covington and ice cream from Tillamook. Once we get going throughout the year, we grow heads of red and leaf green lettuce, pumpkins, squash, zucchini, cabbage, celery, red cabbage, an array of berries, raspberries, gold berries gooseberries, fennel and corn, beans, things like that,” Robin said.
The wealth of experience at the farm has given way to a system that allows fresh produce to be harvested daily, something that has helped the farm to thrive for nearly a century.
“One of our mottos is ‘field fresh,’ and there’s nothing fresher than what [Sterino’s] has been doing for 100 years,” Robin said
Robin is confident that even if visitors have never bought farm fresh food before, not only will they be amazed at the selection at the Sterino Market but they will also be blown away at money they will save.
“They’ll be amazed at the prices,” Robin said.
With such a wide selection, Robin ensures there will be employees to help shoppers navigate the produce selection process while Sterino Farm will remain open through the spring, summer and fall. Expect to see plenty of pumpkins in October and Christmas trees in December before the market closes its doors again for the winter.
After April 1, Sterino Farms Produce Market will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week. Visit sterinofarms.com or call (253) 922-8945 for more information. | agronomy |

The bean watered with orange juice or water?
Back round knowledge- Plants grow well in water.
Hypothesis- I think the bean watered with water will grow the fastest. I think this because the orange juice is acidic and, the plant may not be able to handle that. There for the plant will probably die before it has the chance to grow very much.
Materials- paper, pencil, two paper cups, 25.1 grams of dirt, 10 mL of water and orange juice, graduated cylinder, scale, safety equipment, two smooth, white beans weighing 5 grams each, ruler
Method-1. Get safety equipment
2. Get two beans two white, smooth beans that weigh 5 grams each
3. Get two cups of dirt that weigh 25.1 grams each
4. Place one bean into each cup half an in. into the cup of dirt.
5. Fill one cup with 10 mL of water and the other with 10 mL of orange juice every two days.
6. Check once a day if any change has happened to your experiment, if so measure then record.
7. Finally conclude your data.
Collect Data- Created a graph and, turned it in.
Conclusion- My hypothesis was correct because the plant watered with water grew 4.5 in. while the plant watered with orange juice never grew.
Extended Questions- 1.Would you have the same results if the temperature was 30 degrees hotter in the room?
2.Would you have the same results if the temperature was 30 degrees cooler in the room? | agronomy |

Most of us eat something with this humble tuber in it at least once a week, and I’m here to tell you to keep doing that– they have some pretty amazing health benefits. Today, I’m partnering with the passionate people at Potatoes USA to share with everyone the awesomeness of US potatoes.
Currently, Potatoes USA represents over 2,500 potato growers and handlers across the USA. Their mission? To promote the health benefits of eating US potatoes across the globe, and there are a lot of them!
The US is a world leader in producing the very best potatoes thanks to their state-of-the-art processing. Not to mention, the USDA consistently makes sure the potatoes are the very best quality.
When you hear the words “US Potatoes”, you can be sure that they refer to high quality and variety. Maybe you’re never really taken note of it before, but the potatoes you’ve been buying are probably a part of the US potato family. On the packaging there will be a label that says it was “Made with real US potatoes” or “Grown in the USA”.
Here in the Philippines, you can actually find three main kinds of US potatoes in supermarkets and certain stores. Let me walk you through them briefly.
FRESH US POTATOES
These US potatoes are carefully grown by family farmers, following strict guidelines set by the USDA to ensure maximum quality. They actually use highly scientific techniques for this; monitoring everything from the soil to the water content in order to meet the nutritional needs of the US potatoes. Obviously, everything starts with the use of seed potatoes that have undergone strict US seed certification systems.
Once the US potatoes are harvested, they are meticulously stored in facilities designed to preserve their optimal quality. Ideal temperature, lighting, humidity, and ventilation come into play at this stage. Thanks to the hard work of the farmers, we here in the Philippines also get to enjoy some really amazing fresh US potatoes.
Since only the “cream of the crop” end up being chosen for sale, we can all be confident about the dishes we produce using these fresh US potatoes.
Where to buy: Rustan’s Supermarket, SM Supermarket, Robinson’s Supermarket
FROZEN US POTATOES
These frozen options are made using the premium fresh US potatoes I discussed above. The fresh potatoes undergo a quick-freezing process to lock in all their flavor and nutrients. And then they have to pass the inspection of the USDA and the FDA before being allowed to go into the stores. The US is the only country with mandatory grading standards for potatoes, so this is another thing that can put our minds at ease.
Frozen US potatoes are usually made using Premium Russet Potatoes to get the right size and length, especially when it comes to fries. Frozen US potatoes are practical because they can provide us with potato-based meals all-year round, plus they come in a wide array. Here are the most commonly found in local supermarkets:
US potatoes that are meant-to-be frozen must contain high solids and low sugar, since these two criteria are what will maintain the desirable appearance of the US potatoes even after being frozen. They also give the frozen potatoes superior taste and texture once cooked.
Where to buy: Cherry Foodarama, S&R, Rustan’s Supermarket, SM Supermarket, Robinson’s Supermarket
Some recipes to try: Potatoes and Eggs Breakfast Casserole; Easy cheesy potatoes; Potato, Red Pepper, and Cheese Frittata; also watch out for my next post featuring an awesome recipe using frozen fries!
DEHYDRATED US POTATOES
The most uncommonly used of the three, dehydrated US potatoes are real US potatoes minus the water. They contain all the flavor, nutrition, and versatility of fresh potatoes, but since they are dehydrated, they come in a smaller and more convenient package.
The main benefit of using dehydrated potatoes is that they remove the time you need to spend washing, peeling, and boiling the potatoes before use. Also, they are really easy to store. These types of potatoes are used right out of the package and then rehydrated to use in soups, salads, side dishes, and even desserts.
Here in the Philippines, dehydrated potatoes are more of a specialty ingredient, but the most common among them are the US standard potato flakes and mashed potato mixes. These are great for adding into baked breads to make them fluffier, as well as for making instant mashed potatoes.
Where to buy: Gourdo’s, S&R, All About Baking, The Baker’s Company, Best Value Factory Outlet
Before I got this opportunity to collaborate with Potatoes USA Philippines, I wasn’t entirely aware of the superpowers of this fantastic tuber. However I have loved them all my life, so learning about the health benefits of these US potatoes just makes me love them more! Also, knowing about how these US potatoes are grown with its end users like us in mind, I feel pretty good recommending them to everyone.
Learn more about the health benefits of US Potatoes on their Facebook page. This post was brought to you by Potatoes USA, but all opinions stated above are my own. | agronomy |

This category includes some historical varieties of apples which have been cultivated for a very long time in the Cuneo valleys and which have been forgotten after the Second World War in favour of the American Golden and Red Delicious apples. The old varieties are rustica and suitable to the bottom-valley climate conditions. They require low-enviromental impact cultivation methods and similar to the bio. The most important types whiche have been recovered are: Buras, Carla, Contessa, Gambafina lunga and Gambafina piatta, Ravè verde and Runsè.
Area of production
The area of production includes the whole territory of the Cuneo valleys.
The apple cultivation, in Piedmont, has a very an ancient tradition that dates back to the Roman Empire, but is only in 1700, when some farmers, who crossed the Alps looking for a job, imported new seeds and cultivation methods from France that we see the birth of the Piedmontese fruit cultivation. At the beginning of the 20th century the apple cultivation spread mostly in the bottom-valleys and hilly areas, even if there it has begun to spread also in the plane of Cuneo. The natural tendency of this region is confirmed by the vast range of local varieties cultivated and by the recovering of those that risked to disappear. | agronomy |

Bio-composts can be relied upon to decrease the utilization of compound manures and pesticides. The microorganisms in bio-manures reestablish the dirt’s
characteristic supplement cycle and fabricate soil natural matter. Using bio-composts, sound plants can be developed, while improving the supportability and the
soundness of the dirt. Since they assume a few parts, a favored logical term for such helpful microbes is “plant-development advancing rhizobacteria” (PGPR).

They must take care of the plant every day and see if they are getting proper nutrients every day and supporting them with outstanding practice.Their work is not only to grow the plant, but it is also their job that the customers who are coming to them select the best plant, and they will be advised how to grow it.
There is no need of formal education required to become a greenhousespecialist. If they spend a few weeks understanding the greenhouse operation, they will understand their duties and responsibilities very well.If they spend a few weeks understanding the greenhouse process, they will understand their obligations and respond very well.But even after that, many workers have their high school diploma, but this is not necessary.
Duties And Responsibilities Of A Green House Worker Are As Follows:
Water And Trim Plants
Workers support the growth of the plant by watering and training them well.And take care that the root of the plant is getting water in the appropriate amount or not.Plants are also cut and trim from the regions so that their growth is healthy, the unwanted leaves are removed, and if there is any disease in it, it should be removed.
Harvest Or Transplant Crops
They either transplant crops themselves or get them done by someone else in a greenhouse.It is also the job of a greenhousespecialistthat they will check the plant has been ready to be sold in the market or do you have to remove it from the greenhouse.Workers in the flower greenhouse are packing the flowers and harvesting the plant.
Plant Vegetables And Flowers
It is the responsibility of the worker to plant flowers and vegetables inside the greenhouse. After that, the worker has to grow fruit and vegetables, following several instructions: soil depth, composition, and germination time.
The worker has to check that they have Soil, fertilizers and pesticide present in the appropriate amount or not to supply the orders at the proper time.Workers take complete care of their sale and supply.
Greenhouse workers have to apply for pesticides.Workers cannot use any pesticide; they must have their own license to use pesticide, which depends on their state. The most significant duty workers here is to check that they have not done any combination of pesticide because this is what it can be Dangerous for health and they have to do all these things by looking at it too much.
Final Words –
The above information is for the greenhousespecialist who tells us everything about them and what they do, so if you have any problem with this topic, you can get through it.This information gives us a brief description of the greenhouse workers and the greenhouse, how the plant is grown and supplied there.I hope this information will be enough for you. | agronomy |

THE HISTORY IN BRIEF
A family-run production company, it exclusively produces grapes produced from its own vineyards. At the beginning of the 19th century, Battista Rinaldi was a cultivator of some vineyards of the Feudo of the Marquises Falletti di Barolo. Later he became a farmer owner and, initially, a seller of the grapes produced. Later, with his sons, he became a winemaker and bottler. The same company tradition, of character and craft dimensions, today continues with Giuseppe Rinaldi and the fifth and sixth generation daughters. The company produces Barolo for about 60% (Brunate vineyards, Le Coste, Cannubi-San Lorenzo, Ravera) and for the rest, Piedmontese wines such as Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba, Nebbiolo and Freisa delle Langhe, Ruchè.
THE VINEGROWER TELL
The vineyards and wine-making follow Langa conservative philosophies with regard to the naturalness of the product, and compliance with the varietal character of the grape varieties grown. A long maceration on the skins in open trunk-conical vats, follow refinements in large casks, Slavonian oak

For Phalaenopsis potted in pots, watering is only necessary when the medium is on the dry side. When the medium is dry, the whole pot and medium are relatively lighter and the colour of the sphagnum moss is pale.
Usually for plants potted in pots of 2.5" diameter, it takes around 7 to 10 days for the sphagnum moss medium to dry after the previous watering. While for those in 3.5" pots, it can take 10 to 15 days for the medium to dry before the next watering. However, this depends on the weather, lighting and root system of the plants, hence the best way to determine if watering is necessary is by looking at the colour of the medium at the side of the transparent pots (one of the advantages of using transparent pots) and by feeling the weight of the whole pot and medium.
Overwatering of the medium can lead to root rot issues. One way to prevent this from happening is by only watering the whole pot of moss partially, by watering the top layer only and letting the water sink through slowly. By doing this, sufficient water is given to the plants and it helps the sphagnum moss in the pot to dry in a shorter period of time.
For Phalaenopsis plants growing on wood or fern bark, it is good to mist the roots once to twice a day, depending on the humidity of the growing environment. During rainy days, misting can be reduced to once a day. If the plants are partially exposed to rain, there is no need to mist or water them. Do note that misting water in the evening may lead to crown or stem rot issues.
2. Light requirements
As Phalaenopsis plants grow on tree trunks and limbs in their natural habitat, with branches and leaves sheltering them away from direct sunlight, their leaves can get easily damaged when exposed to strong and intense direct sunlight. Hence, it is best to avoid any direct sunlight or use 70% sun mesh to reduce the light intensity. A bright and airy environment with high humidity (50% to 80%) is ideal for Phalaenopsis plants.
The ideal temperature ranges from 25 to 28 degrees, but Phalaenopsis plants can also survive at temperatures of around 30 degrees.
Phalaenopsis plants are very sensitive to extreme humidity. A humidity level of 50% to 80% is preferred. Spraying or misting water on the leaves can help to increase the humidity level when it is low.
Phalaenopsis plants grow better with the use of organic-based fertiliser, such as plant compost extract and seaweed extract. Chemical-based fertiliser such as Epsom salt (MgSO4) can be given occasionally through foliage sprays as a supply of chemicals that organic fertiliser lacks.
It is better to use fertiliser of weaker concentrations on a more regular basis. By reducing the concentration of fertiliser used, it also reduces the chance of chemical burns on the root systems. Thus, it is safer to use chemical fertilisers as foliage sprays, in the early morning for better absorption. Excess chemicals can then be washed away by spraying water on the leaves a few hours later. Organic-based fertiliser, on the other hand, can be used in low concentrations (10-20% of usual strength), to be watered into the pots for better absorption. | agronomy |

These units are actually user-friendly as well as an useful tool for those that possess plants with deep-seated roots that can not quickly be actually reached by hands. bästa fuktmätare för jord
Just how to Use
The easy, inexpensive soil humidity meter is among the best useful tools you may utilize to assist ensure that your vegetables and also flowers are obtaining the right amount of water. Unlike the vintage hands test, which offers only a really unclear tip of the circumstances of the root device underground, a humidity meter provides a consistent evaluation of your expanding medium and allows you know when it is actually opportunity to water as well as when to postpone.
The way that these little bit of gadgets work is that the tip of a metal probing (often copper, yet it may be actually plastic at the same time) is actually attached to a digital sensing unit which measures energy. Soil along with water in it is actually an excellent conductor of electric power, while dry ground is actually an extremely inadequate conductor. By determining the energy of your ground you can say to whether it is actually dry out or even wet, depending on to Relaxed Garden enthusiast.
A single thing to bear in mind when making use of a humidity gauge is that the suggestions of the probing may not be designed to go all the way in to the dirt; compeling the probing deeper than it need to go may damage or even crack it. On top of that, do not make an effort dousing the meter in a mug of water to inspect it; doing this might contaminate the reading and even create the meter to breakdown.
What to Seek
Soil humidity gauges could be practical devices for identifying whether your vegetations need even more water. Nonetheless, it is important to understand how to utilize them properly therefore you do not by accident over or even under water your plants. To receive an accurate reading you will certainly require to push the sensor, which lies in the pointer of the meter, in to the soil. In general you should aim to position it 2 thirds of the method down into the dirt. This are going to ensure that you are assessing for the level of water called for through the majority of plant roots. poledance stång
Moisture gauges work through evaluating the conductance of the dirt. Dry soil has little bit of conductance as well as will definitely as a result give a reduced reading, whereas moist soil will definitely possess a much greater analysis as it is actually largely made from water. The composition of the dirt and also other variables such as fertilizer salts can impact this reading. For this factor, you need to regularly inspect the end results of your moisture meter along with your finger.
For instance, rubber plants and exotics like to have dry out ground so you will would like to irrigate them when the gauge is actually presenting a reading of 1 or even 2. However, Boston ma brushes, philodendrons, and calatheas prefer to possess slightly wet dirt and also needs to be actually irrigated when the gauge reviews between 4 as well as 7. Consistently wipe the probe tidy after each test as well as never leave it in the dirt for times at a time as this can ruin the sensor.
Exactly how to Get an Accurate Analysis
A lot of the economical dampness meters you see in landscape centers operate well when they are actually brand-new, however with time they can start to provide inaccurate readings. According to Bloom Sprouts as well as Relaxed Gardener, this is actually due to the fact that in time, hard tap water as well as plant food salts develop in the soil. This changes the conductivity of the ground, which is what these tools procedure. stor riskokare
It is vital to carefully press the metal probing inside the dirt to ensure that 4/5 of it is actually within. Try a various spot in the flowerpot if you fulfill resistance. It may take 60 seconds or additional for the device to spot dirt moisture as well as display a lead to the gauge carton.
The lead to the meter carton are actually loved one, meaning it won’t tell you when to water your vegetations. You’ll have to translate them based upon the water desires of each plant. As an example, exotics and also succulents choose drier ground, while vegetations like maidenhair ferns as well as fiddle leaf figs demand somewhat wet soil.
Maintain in thoughts that conductivity varies based on the kind of dirt. This is why it is actually finest to review a humidity meter’s outcomes to the relevant information on your plant care card or even to think the soil by hand for reference.
Exactly how to Decipher the Results
The come from a ground moisture gauge may be tough to analyze. Through following these basic suggestions you may use the gauge as a device to assist you irrigate your vegetations in the most efficient method possible.
Many meters work by evaluating the conductivity of the soil. Dirt that has the capacity to prove out will definitely give a greater reading, while dry out soil is going to cause a reduced one. Dirt that contains a higher quantity of salt or plant foods will definitely also cause inaccurate readings.
It is important to catch the probing down in to the dirt regarding possible to receive an exact reading. If you can easily drive it in quickly, this implies that the leading layer of the soil is wet, yet the origin amount is actually not. This is a really good indication that the plant requires to be watered.
Stay away from making use of the meter by dousing it into a cup of water as this can easily lead to the probe to come to be harmed. It is likewise suggested that you clean the meter after each use. Doing so are going to guarantee that the gauge keeps in good condition for longer and also you are actually obtaining correct analyses each opportunity you use it.
Soil dampness gauges can easily make it much easier to recognize when your flowers, vegetables as well as yearly color need water. By using a meter, you can easily take the guesswork away from watering your vegetations, sparing you both time and money.
Soil with water in it is actually a great conductor of electric energy, while dry out soil is a very bad conductor. Soil moisture gauges may be actually practical devices for establishing whether your plants need more water. Dry soil possesses little conductance and will definitely as a result give a reduced analysis, whereas damp ground will definitely possess a considerably higher reading as it is predominantly brought in of water. Cacti and also succulents like drier ground, while plants like maidenhair brushes and also fiddle leaf figs demand a little moist ground.
Ground that is actually capable to keep water will definitely provide a much higher analysis, while completely dry soil will definitely lead in a reduced one. | agronomy |

Seeds of the idea for a community garden in Shelburne, Nova Scotia, were sown about eight years ago at a conference hosted by the Centre for Local Prosperity, and then —quite literally — in a plot of land beside Shelburne District High School in the spring of 2023. Thanks to citizen engagement, a team of volunteer gardeners is already reaping far more than produce.
“I am so proud of what our group has accomplished in such a short period of time,” says Shelburne Warden Penny Smith, an active volunteer and vice-president of the newly formed non-profit Community Garden and Food share Association of Shelburne County. “I’m optimistically looking forward to the potential for food hubs to build a more robust, local food system across Nova Scotia.”
John Davis, president of the Community Garden and Food share Association, says the new community garden has too many supporters to name, but he acknowledges Warden Smith’s role in promoting the area’s long-term resilience and self-sufficiency.
He also applauds the contribution made by Mary Thompson, principal for Nova Scotia Community College’s Burridge, Shelburne, and Digby campuses. Thompson introduced a service learning program that sees college students work with the Municipality of Shelburne to explore ways to create greater food sustainability.
After simmering for a number of years, plans for the community garden began to heat up when a meeting took place in December. Next came a survey to see who might be interested in helping with the project, and interest poured in from the local high school, First Nations, staff at the agricultural exhibition and members of the broader community.
“This project brings the people together and fosters the idea of being more self sufficient when it comes to accessing healthy food,” says Thompson. “If COVID has taught us anything, it is how the supply chain is affected when there is a crisis. Even without a pandemic, skyrocketing prices make it more difficult for people to eat healthy foods, and marginalized citizens get hit the hardest.”
Things have moved quickly since that December meeting. The Centre for Local Prosperity provided funding to purchase supplies and build raised beds, and the local council approved a request to situate the garden and an accessible greenhouse on about three acres of municipal land adjacent to Shelburne District High School.
The garden’s proximity to the high school comes with many advantages, such as experiential learning for students and opportunities for them to be mentored by volunteer gardeners, farmers and agricultural experts. The central location will also help when it comes to getting volunteers and community gardeners to and from the garden as well as for distributing foods grown in the garden and greenhouse.
“Sou’West Nova Transit Association is working with our group to assist in distribution,” says Davis. “The plan is to raise money to pay for this service, but in the meantime, the company is helping with deliveries along some of its regular routes.”
Organizers know that the longterm sustainability of Shelburne’s community garden will depend on more than building raised beds, planting seeds and distributing produce.
They have put in a grant application to Agriculture Canada and plans are well underway for educational presentations on how to grow, harvest and preserve food.
Support from NSCC Shelburne will include relevant courses and programs through the continuing education program, use of campus spaces, cooperative education placements for students, and support through NSCC’s applied research program.
“It really is about partnerships,” says Thompson. “Coming up with a vision is one thing. Developing realistic steps to achieve that vision is something else entirely.”
As executive director for the Centre for Local Prosperity, Robert Cervelli has been an invaluable resource in defining these steps. “It is part of Nova Scotia’s cultural DNA to have gardens and farms and roadside markets,” he says. “The plan for Shelburne County, in addition to a community garden and greenhouse, is to have a mobile team that will help residents with everything from revitalizing a dormant garden to propagating seeds and installing raised beds.”
According to Cervelli, any municipality in Nova Scotia could benefit from a similar strategy, but outlying areas would benefit most. “While certain areas in the province are rich in food resources, others, such as Shelburne County, are veritable food deserts,” he explains. “Residents have to drive some distance to obtain their food, and shopping is often limited to only one store. Supply chain disruptions and production issues can cause general anxiety.”
For Davis, the garden, greenhouse and gardening mentors offer a timely way to address food insecurity.
“It was very different several generations ago when Nova Scotians
caught their own fish, grew their own food, and had a family cow and a hunting rifle,” he says.
“What I find absolutely outrageous is that in 2023, one in four Nova Scotians is food-insecure. This is an issue that our community is determined to address.”

At HORTGRO we focus on production, research and technology, markets, and transformation within the deciduous fruit industry.
Our roots date back to the Spring of 1652 when Jan van Riebeeck planted the first apple seeds in the Cape of Goodhope. After the success of these apple trees, producers started to experiment with others crops and sold their produce to passing ships.
The South African fruit export industry was “founded” by Percy Molteno in 1892, when he successfully exported a small consignment of peaches to the United Kingdom, which was sold at Covent Garden market. After this, the fruit export market took off like rocket and by 1903 more than 22 000 fruit packages were being exported.
After years of exporting under their individual names, the deciduous fruit producers realised they needed a body to offer support to growers and formed the Deciduous Fruit Exchange (1926), which was later adapted to the South African Fruit – Deciduous Fruit Board (1947), Universal Frutrade Co-operative (1987), Unifruco (1989), Deciduous Fruit Producers’ Trust (1997) and ultimately HORTGRO (2013).

In addition to the exploration of long-term adaptation strategies for climate change, there is a demand for shorter time scale coping mechanisms that would make agricultural systems more resilient to climate variability that directly impacts year-by-year production.
The aim of the project is to develop a set of tools to allow for an operational and robust climate-crop-water integrated assessment for the production of medium scale agricultural forecasts (including water demand). The study will provide a deeper understanding of local farming communities needs/expectations with regards to climate crop seasonal forecasts; an advanced understanding of climate-crop integration for South African systems; and the consequent tested methodology to produce agriculturally tailored seasonal forecasts.

With climate change creating an ever-increasing volatility to small island states with the scarcity of resources and dwindling water supplies affecting food production, there is a need for innovative ways of dealing with agriculture.
In 2015 the SLCSI served as the hub coordinator for the Caribbean Climate Innovative Centre (CCIC) and facilitated the Green Tech Bootcamp for green startups. That undertaking was an eye-opening and redefining experience for the SLCSI as it introduced a generation of non-traditional service providers brimming with opportunity for innovation. Clearly, the wave of greening our world was at our door and it was undeniably the way forward. Green technology shows all the signs of being the next industry to create significant grown within the region and providing a more secure, clearer future. Recognizing this the SLCSI has joined the green movement.
The remarkable success of the CCIC Bootcamp translated to several of the participants moving on to compete in the Caribbean Tech Enterprise Program (CTEP) and three Saint Lucian startups emerging winners in the three categories. Companies such as EcoCaribe, Eze Green and Greening the Caribbean have received mentoring and coaching through the Green Tech Bootcamp, whilst Eco Caribe benefited from export development training (Services Go Global) and financial assistance through the Caribbean Development Bank CSME Standby Facility, “Developing Saint Lucia Services Sector”.
To assist in jump-starting the Green Technology Industry in Saint Lucia the SLCSI has partnered with two young entrepreneurs to launch the first-ever climate-smart greenhouse in Saint Lucia. Powered by solar the greenhouse will be fitted with sensors to assist in the automation of process and providing key growing metric all to create a balanced high energy environment ideal for optimal crop yield. GEF UNDP threw its support behind the project with a USD 50,000.00 grant.
FARMSAI, an agribusiness cooperative data management system driven by blockchain, received financial support from the SLCSI to participate in Pitch@Palace, an opportunity for Entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses to pitch to CEOs, Influencers, Angels, Mentors and potential investors and Business Partners.
Revolutionizing agriculture through smart greenhouse technology
Food security is a major global challenge and two young Saint Lucian entrepreneurs, Keigan Mayers and Jade Hutchinson are determined to tackle the challenge of food security by revolutionizing farming in Saint Lucia and by extension, the Caribbean. The Saint Lucia Coalition of Service Industries (SLCSI) in collaboration with Keigan and Jade successfully applied for a USD 50,000.00 grant from GEF UNDP and is set to embark on the first-ever climate-smart greenhouse project in Saint Lucia which was launched in April 2018.
Keigan is a registered farmer since 2014 and has undergone training in protected farming and grower development in Mexico with the CRESIAP institute. A designer by profession and keen entrepreneur Jade is a Director at Noah, a solar energy solutions company. Keigan and Jade have combined their expertise and experience to cofound an agro-tech company which focuses on technologically advanced agricultural systems and climate resilient agricultural systems in developing countries.
The project will directly address the challenges farmers like Keigan face daily, challenges that limit their output, produce high vulnerability to the environmental factors and limit their ability to respond adequately to market changes. The goal is that through the application of technology Saint Lucia can usher in a new revolution in the industry of agriculture and take the lead within the region in addressing food security.
Today, the project is in its early stages of implementation. The SLCSI is excited about working alongside these young entrepreneurs and is looking forward to breaking ground in June 2018 | agronomy |

Now, a novel idea takes this concept further, which could prove to be a ‘Green Revolution’ of the 21st century – Vertical Agriculture
eVolo, a magazine that holds competitions to invite path-breaking skyscraper concepts, announced the Mashambas skyscraper as the winner. Mashambas is a Swahili word that means ‘cultivated’. It is a vertical farm that can feed an entire town in the sub-Saharan Africa!
This farm can also be disassembled to shift to a newer locations as per requirement! Pawel Lipiński and Mateusz Frankowski, the Polish architects have designed the farm where crops would be grown on its upper floors and will have the provisions to store seeds and fertilizers.
The remaining floors would have kindergarten classrooms, a doctor’s room, and a docking port for drones that would be used to transport food from the farm to far-off regions. The ground floor will open its doors to an open-air market, where farmers will sell their produce. This project, which one from over 4000 entries, is yet to be executed, and is touted to be the next big reformation to end starvation in many African regions. | agronomy |

Grow Your Own
Get a taste of The Good Life and go self-sufficient - and if you haven't got a garden, what about an allotment plot? It's the best way of knowing where your food comes from.
2. Use a Composter
Create something delicious and nutritious for your garden with a home composter, which makes short work of cardboard, coffee grounds, egg shells, tea bags and vegetable peelings.
3. Water Wisely
Don't waste water - a water butt will catch the rain for garden use or if you're using tap water, use a watering can rather than a hosepipe to pep up your plants.
4. Be Selective
Plants such as sunflowers, lavender and buddleia don't need much water to flourish - which makes them a great choice for the water-conscious gardener.
5. Go Chemical Free
Avoid chemical pesticides and fertilisers. Instead, use organic compost and leaf mould. Keep your garden tools clean to avoid disease and try barrier methods and traps to keep pests at bay.
6. Recycle and Reclaim
Go for garden furniture made of recycled, reclaimed or sustainable materials. If you can find tables, chairs and benches made my local craftsmen, so much the better.

8. Crop Rotation
A trick of organic growers, by simply rotating what you grow where, you'll increase soil fertility and control the build-up of pests and diseases.

Much like wine, chocolate reflects the flavours of the region where cocoa beans are grown, and how they are dried and fermented.
Over the last decade, as the demand for more flavourful cocoa has risen, Ecuador has emerged as the pre-eminent exporter of fine beans.
It is a favourite destination for globetrotting chocolatiers in search of the best, and cocoa production has also become a sustainable source of income for Ecuador's farmers.
"Farmers didn't use to pay much attention to cocoa," says Ignacio Estupinan, a 66-year-old farmer who is known in the area as Don Nacho.
"Now everybody knows how valuable cocoa is. It's the best business we have," he adds.
Scholars believe cocoa plants first grew in the Amazon basin, possibly in the area that now corresponds to Venezuela, another large cocoa exporter.
Ecuador's native cocoa beans are known as "Nacional" or "Arriba", a name believed to derive from the location of its discovery. Arriba means "up river" and many cocoa plantations were located along the Guayas river, which flows towards the port of Guayaquil, Ecuador's largest city. | agronomy |

My boys have already completed their reading tracking sheet. I also signed up and need to catch up. I wonder if I can count "blog reading" as part of my reading time??? If anyone has any good books to recommend, let me know; I have a lot of catching up to do.
The boys are starting their summer swim team practices at our neighborhood pool. Great exercise and helps fill a few hours a day. They are also signed up for a few short "camps" for music and writing. Otherwise this should be a pretty relaxed and lazy summer.
My garden continues to evolve. Strawberry season is over and I need to harvest my lettuce. The heat will turn my greens bitter if not eaten soon. (Good thing we have family coming in tonight!)
Looks like I should have a good crop of tomatoes and hope to be able to harvest some cherry tomatoes soon. My peppers are also coming along nicely. My dill has started to flower and needs to be given away.
I am anxiously checking my snap pea vines daily for signs of pea pods. This is our 1st year for planting peas and I am worried I started a few weeks late. I also am hopeful for a better year for my yellow squash and cucumbers. I limed the soil and am fertilizing on a regular basis. I daily scan for blossoms. None so far....
Rising Fuel Costs
Gas Prices are on the way up... This is my first fill-up last week where I am finally over the $2.00 mark. I paid $2.559 with my 20 cent off Kroger Marketplace Fuel Perk.
Speaking of perks,l I need to put some coffee on and get motivated to clean and grocery shop. We will have a house and yard full of relatives late today! | agronomy |

Lucky for us the season boasts some amazing fresh produce superstars.
Seasonal produce is both more flavoursome and has the vitamins and antioxidants to prevent those sniffles and fight the flu. So listen up and take notes because we’ve got the insider tips on winter fruits and vegetables from the man himself, Tom of The Standard Market Co.
It looks like we should be reaching for the greens this season. Broccoli and broccolini are in abundance and because of this Tom hints that we’ll be seeing great deals, so keep your eyes open! Another green that’s in season but a lot leafier is the superfood kale. And if you love a baked dinner you’ll be happy to know that we’ll be seeing a more of it’s favourite side; brussel sprouts.
As for fruit we want you to reach for those citrus fruits. Navel oranges are at their juiciest in winter. It’s well known that oranges pack a Vitamin C punch so get juicing to defend your health.

The training was conducted in four (4) regions namely Eastern (Somanya), Volta (Denu), Central (Gomoa Buduatta) and Northern (Bontanga) and spanned from the Month of April 2014 to January 2015. The training also concentrated on selected vegetable crops like pepper, tomato, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, green pepper, lettuce and bunch onions. Other potential vegetables such as butter-nut squash were also discussed.
Challenges on inadequate/poor knowledge on good agronomic practices, lack of knowledge on new innovative all-year-round technology for vegetable production and inadequate/poor knowledge of managing farm as a business were addressed.
At the end of the training farmers learnt new and better methods of production (Good agronomic practices), more usage of compost, less chemical fertilizers and pesticide usage, technology of producing or increasing production with lesser acreage of farmland with compost and organic fertilizers and trained farmers will train other members of the association who will in turn spread the knowledge and skill acquired to about 3380 outgrowers, thus the multiplier effect will be high.
The management skills given to the farmers will help them better manage their production and personnel.

Now that the weather's starting to get a tad warmer, just a tad mind, things have started to happen faster, it won't be long before I have to start putting stakes in to support the peas, and I still need to make a Munty frame for my runner beans which will be going in next month, but I'm getting a tad ahead of myself. Before I could plant anything I needed to get the 4 beds in the large greenhouse and the 3 beds in my own little plot sorted out. For most of them this meant rotavating them and adding a liberal amount of chicken shit to them, apart from the bed that I'll be using for carrots and parsnips as they don't like rich soil. The good news was, I didn't need to rotavate the brassica bed, as they like firm soil, so I just tidied up the surface and called it done.
The first bed to be ready was my pea bed, probably because I had some company whilst I was doing it, even if that company was an ugly frog So now I have ½ a row of peas ( Kelvedon Wonder ) and ½ a row of Sugar Snaps growing merrily away under some netting to keep the foxes off. Some time in the next week I'll be doing another ½ row of each of them so I should get a reasonable cropping period. Not long after they popped up I had a visit from DD who's known as the Pea God on the allotment forums that I'm a member of, so I got the chance to point proudly at my 2" tall peas
As I mentioned, I didn't rotavate the bed where my brassicas are going ( Calabrese : Quick Heading, Broccoli : Summer Purple Sprouting, Cabbage : Greyhound & Rouge Tete Noir ) as they like really firm soil, so firm in fact that you're advised to walk on the beds and then walk around the plants after you've planted them. Normally you're advised to avoid walking on beds at all costs as it can damage the soil structure, which is never a good thing. To plant them I just dug a hole slightly bigger than the pot they were in, slapped them in the hole, sans pot of course, and then did a kind of shuffle around the base of them to really firm the soil up, I must have looked like a demented Indian who'd forgotten the steps for the rain dance, but if it works then it's worth it. A couple of days later I had to replace one of the plants with a spare as it had keeled over, and I had plenty of spares so it was easier to just replace it than to try reviving it.
The next bed to get planted up was the onion bed, it's now chock full of onions! 200 Red Barons, the few Ailsa Craig & Bedfordshire Champions that had germinated. I also went out and bought some onion sets to fill the rest of the bed due to the naff germination of the Ailsa & Bedfordshire, these were planted at the same time. Along one edge of he bed I left a strip so that I could successionaly sow some pickling onions ( Paris Silverskin ), about a 1⁄3 of this strip has now been sown, I'll be sowing another 1⁄3 every couple of weeks so I should have a continuous supply.
Sounds like the title of a porn film huh, but it's actually a planting arrangement that's meant to really work, I guess time will tell. Basically you throw sweetcorn, runner beans and squash in the same bed, and they kinda get on in a beneficial manner. The corn becomes poles for the runners, although I'll be adding a Munty frame, and the squashes roam through the bed space between the corn so you get a decent return from a single bed. I decided to use the longest bed for this and put 2x7' rows of broad beans ( Super Aqualduce ) at one end, and a 2' strip across the bed for successional sowings of beetroot ( Pronto ) at the other end. This leaves me with 20' of bed space which I'm going to be doing the 3 sisters with, Runner Beans : Cherokee Trial of Tears & Borlotti, Squash : Butternut & Courgettes, Sweetcorn : True Gold. I'm also going to be using the spaces between the squashes for lettuces ( little gem ) and Pak Choi until they get so big that they fill it all.
As 20' of sweetcorn would be a tad much to eat/preserve all in one go I've sparked some off *really* early, and I'll be doing another "slightly early" batch next week, and then a "normal time" batch some time in may. If they all live then I should have hopefully spread out my harvesting period over the space of a couple of months. If they don't live then I'll just sow the whole 20' space at the correct time of year and then hope like hell I can cope with the glut when they harvest I've also sparked off a couple of squash and a couple of courgettes early as well, so that the sweetcorn doesn't feel all lonesome in the bed by itself. I was tempted to start some of the runners early as well, but I don't have a lot of the seed so I'm not going to risk it. I'll be saving my own seed at the end of the year, so if I have enough space I'll be able to play with more early stuff.
If my experiment had been successful then the small greenhouse would have had a dozen or so tomato plants growing in it by now, but it wasn't so there isn't. The main reason for the failure was that the heated beds in, the potting shed, didn't get turned on as early as usual and I couldn't provide enough light at home in my little lightbox. Ah well, there's always next year huh? The good news is that some of them survived and I still had the other half of the seeds, so I sowed them a few weeks ago and most of them are now coming along nicely, they just won't be as early as I was hoping for. Rather than just stare at an empty bed I decided to throw in a couple of rows of radish ( Cherry Belle ), beetroot ( Pronto ) and lettuce ( Little Gem ) and they're all growing nicely, although not quite as fast as they'll do now that it's started to get warmer and lighter.
I've also been using the small greenhouse as a kind of giant coldframe for the seedlings that didn't need as much heat but, now that it's getting warmer, most of these are being moved outside to the large greenhouse. We've also started moving the first batches of Dahlias into the small greenhouse where they'll stay until they're ready for planting, sometime near the end of May, so it's rapidly beginning to fill up and will soon be very over crowded. I've also lost a few feet of the bed in here as Barry needs it for one of the varieties of Dahlias, it'll only be a few plants so I'll probably just grow a few less tomatoes ... and it makes me feel less guilty for extending my beds in my normal lil veg plot in the corner
Last year I decided to join an allotment forum, although I'd been lurking there for a fair amount of time already. After reading about how other people lay out their plots, and why, I decided to re-arrange my lil patch in the corner, I also took the opportunity to square it off, which has gained me a few extra feet of length on the beds. I'd already decided to get rid of the bed that ran across the top of the patch as it was a nightmare to rotavate and maintain but, after all my reading, I'd now decided to rearrange my current 3 beds into 2 wider beds and to put a path along the side fence, instead of having a bed tight against it. The end result is, I now have 2 x 15' x 4' beds with a net gain of 20'2 of bed space, although the real gain is much more as I can now get 3 rows of spuds into one bed instead of 1 row of spuds each in two beds. I still need to finish sorting out the second bed, it'll be used for carrots ( Lisse de Meaux ) and parsnips ( Tender and True ) which means that I need to rotavate the arse off it and remove all the stones, which will involve me sieving all the soil ... all 15' x 4' of it!
I've mentioned successional sowing a few times now, it sounds really easy in theory, you just make successive sowings of seeds to extend the cropping period. For example, my radish take approximately 6 weeks to crop, so if I want to have a continuous crop of radish I'd sow a new batch every couple of weeks and Bob's yer uncle, you have fresh radish every day for the whole season. In reality it's a lot harder than that, mainly because you forget to sow a new batch until you've harvested the last batch! So, this year I'm determined not to forget and I've put aside various bits of bed space specifically for veg that I'm going to sow successively ... I guess I'll find out soon enough how successful I am
Considering the size of our tiny lil back garden I'm pretty impressed but what we've managed to cram in so far and we've still got more to put in. The garlic and shallots are coming along nicely especially since I gave them a high nitrogen feed, which has reduced the yellowing of the leaves and the Egyptian Walking Onions have just started to poke their noses through. The rest of the bed has some spring onions in, which have just started to germinate. I can't wait to be eating my own garlic and I can use some of them for growing next years crop. About the only thing I'm missing in the Allium family is some Welsh Onions which I'd love to grow, so if anyone's got any that they can let me have then let me know.
The strawberries, which did crap last year, have got some flowers on (yay), they must have known that I'd intended digging up the whole bed so that I could make a decent raised bed that I can turn it into nice sized greenhouse. Now I'm going to have to wait until a lot later in the season, and I'm going to have to find a new home for them ... which is going to be a challenge in itself! So far my Asparagus hasn't put in an appearance, it didn't do so well last year either, so if it doesn't have a blinding year this year then I'm either going to re-home it or bin it and use the space for something that works. I'd hate to give up on it though, so I'll probably think of somewhere I can home it, and maybe get a few new plants at the same time.
I've not really done that much with the other beds at home yet, mainly because I'm going to be dropping the coal shed some time in the next couple of weeks and I'll have to redo those beds when it's done. Once I've finished them I'll be using them to grow a few salad crops and herbs as it's always good to have a few handy for a quick meal without having to traipse back to the field because I forgot the lettuce
I must ask Barry if he minds me starting a couple of compost heaps, made out of pallets of course, as we easily produce enough compostable waste and it means I could slowly raise both the beds in the field which get pretty waterlogged in winter. I also need to clear the space on the concrete beside our lil greenhouse so that I can stick a raised bed in there, which I would either use for my strawberries or the asparagus. The good news is, if we use all the bricks on building work I'll be able to slap in an 8' x 4' raised bed and still have room for my water butt.
At home I want to knock the coal bunker down and convert the strawberry bed into a raised bed / greenhouse, I've still not worked out a good design for it though, and it's been delayed by the strawberries actually looking like they'll make an effort this year. At the same time I'll finish laying out the salad and herb beds which means I'll then be able to sort out the tiny bit of green stuff that we call a lawn. I'm also considering building a couple of large planters for under the front windows but the Mighty V's not entirely convinced ... yet

Fava beans, Though small, fava beans pack a serious nutritional punch. Some notable health benefits of fava beans are:
- They’re rich in protein and fiber, so they help you stay full for longer (so they’re great for weight loss and weight management).
- They’re a good source of iron. Iron deficiency can result in anemia, which is characterized by fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
- They’re rich in antioxidants, which can improve your immune system, and manganese, which promotes bone health.
Giant beans, takes its name from the Greek word “gigantios” meaning “gigantic,” are strikingly large white beans in the white runner bean family.
Rice karolin, is a Greek, white, middle-grain rice of high quality which is used mainly for risotto and the greek traditional recipe of Gemista (Stuffed vegetables). It is preferable for cooking in the oven and gives a juicy food. Rice, as a cereal grain, it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the worlds human population.

The hottest temperature on the continent of Asia and the fourth highest temperature in the world was recorded in Pakistan at 128.3 F. It also deals with cyclones and tornados with the onset of the monsoon season from April to July. However, the most devastating climate related event may be the flooding in Pakistan.
In 1950 flooding killed 2,910 people. In 1992 flooding killed 1,834. In 1993 flooding killed 3,084. Then in 2010 flooding hit and killed 1,781 people.
Besides the terrible loss of life homes, businesses, and crops are destroyed by these floods. The Sindh region, which is called the “breadbasket” of the country due to its fertile soil, was hit by flooding in 2011 and 1.7 million acres of arable land was destroyed. This destruction of farmland hurts not only the farmer who has his crops destroyed, but also the people that depend on the crops for food. After living through this flooding for years one Pakistani farmer has figured out a way to safeguard his livelihood from flooding.
Abdul Qadir Sha is a farmer in the Sindh region who traditionally grows cotton on his 14-acre plot of land. His crops were devastated in the 2010 and 2011 flooding leaving him with a net loss of 4 million rupees or $44,000 US. Fortunately for Qadir Sha he had planted mango, date and neem trees a few years earlier throughout his cotton crop and along an irrigation canal using a practice called agroforestry, and they had survived through the flooding. Although he had a huge loss on the cotton side of his farming he made up for it by selling the fruit from these tree’s saying they, “provided enough money to let me repair damaged water channels, buy cotton seed, farm tools and pesticides, and other inputs for cultivating my farmland again this year”. The trees had saved his livelihood.
Once this happened Qadir Sha realized that these trees were a great safety net for the years that flooding destroys his cotton plants, and now he’s letting others know it can help them too. He’s told his story and convinced a number of farmers in his area to plant trees along their crops as a safeguard against the flooding. Now Qadir Sha has 90 mango trees, 20 date palms and 25 neem trees that provide him with an income whether there is flooding or not.
Besides the benefit of income and sustenance trees help the environment. When trees are planted they help to lower soil erosion and reduce water evaporation, but there are other benefits too. Trees help to lower carbon emissions and combat climate change, they also help the fertility of the soil by giving birds and livestock a place to hang out which leads to their waste being dropped onto the soil.
The government of Pakistan has some ideas about how to use agroforestry too. Like much of the world deforestation affects Pakistan through urbanization, the timber trade, construction and large scale agricultural development. Pakistan wants to raise its forest cover from 2% to 6% by 2015 and they think that agroforestry may be part of making this goal happen. While as of writing this I cannot find any indication that agroforestry is being used on at a large scale hopefully the practice will spread through Pakistan and help them meet their 2015 goal.
I always find it really cool when someone does something small like planting trees around their crops for one reason (in this case to make money) and almost accidently it turns into something big that can help a lot of people. I guess that’s how a lot of discoveries are made; by accident. In this case farmers that adopt this method will no longer have to worry about floods destroying their crops or about not being able to provide for their family, and I think that peace of mind is probably priceless. And as an added benefit the trees are helping the environment. A win-win! Thanks for reading, and please leave a comment and let me know what you thought. | agronomy |
https://eshe.in/2023/02/01/aditi-deshmukh/ | 2023-04-01T14:32:31 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296950030.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20230401125552-20230401155552-00136.warc.gz | 0.976528 | 1,642 | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-14__0__80205922 | en | By Maya Lalchandani
Raised in Bengaluru and Delhi, television actor and social entrepreneur Aditi Deshmukh has ended up making an unlikely location her karmabhoomi, or land of action: Latur, located in the Marathwada region of southeast Maharashtra.
Here, the 46-year-old mother of two runs her farm-to-table produce venture, 21 Organic, which she launched in 2016 inspired by a lack of access to clean and chemical-free food in India. Deshmukh has also adopted 26 villages in Latur as part of her role as the executive trustee of Vilasrao Deshmukh Foundation (VDF).
This Republic Day, she launched a new beauty label Namaskar Ayurved, which she founded along with former banker and angel investor Gita Nayyar. While Deshmukh has certainly put her money where her mouth is in terms of her commitment to organic farming, rural development and Ayurveda, what is less visible is the inner transformation and challenges that the former model and actor has undergone in her quest.
“I am not an agronomist,” Deshmukh tells eShe. “I am a woman who wants to provide healthy and chemical-free food for people.” While not having the technical know-how related to farming was a bit of a challenge in her early days, she realised that, “eventually, one has to work on the ground with whatever knowledge one has, or background one comes from. Farming involves a real connection with the soil and adapting practices that the land will permit.”
Articulate and well turned out, Deshmukh (née Ghorpade) was born in Bengaluru to highly educated parents belonging to the Maratha community. An alumnus of Hansraj College, Delhi University, her modelling and acting career spanned almost a decade.
Her life then catapulted from film glamour to politics and social welfare when she found herself in an arranged introduction to Amit Deshmukh, the son of late Congress leader Vilasrao Deshmukh, who was then the chief minister of Maharashtra.
Married in 2008, she joined VDF, which was founded by Amit in the memory of his father, in 2011. The same year, feeling an acute need to provide her children with fresh organic foods devoid of toxins and chemicals, she started farming on a patch of ancestral land in Latur. Subsequently, over meetings with farmers, women and youth, she realised the need for a holistic approach to farming and rural development.
The way she looked at it, “I effectively moved into a space where I felt there were a lot of opportunities and resources at my disposal to be able to effect change.”
The crops grown on the Latur farms overlooked by the foundation were climate-resilient, which automatically transitioned the farmers back to their natural farming practices, thereby establishing a supply chain for organic produce. The farmers focused on mainly seasonal crops and vegetables indigenous to that region, such as tubers, carrots and radishes.
“India is an agrarian country that has treasured its agricultural practices for generations. One of the biggest concerns for most farmers has been the connectivity to the market and fair prices,” says Deshmukh, explaining the role of her venture 21 Organic in the process. “We have ensured that the farmers receive proper training and fair prices for their produce, and are well-connected with the market.”
While organic farming is a practice that most farmers are well aware of, she says, making them cognisant of the long-term benefits has made a difference. The farmers in Latur, a region that is chronically drought-prone, successfully managed to transition 2500 acres of land before the pandemic hit.
“A large number of consumers today have become aware of the benefits of organic farming and there is great demand for organically grown fruits and vegetables today. India has the highest number of organic producers, followed by Uganda and Ethiopia,” says Deshmukh, who is a yoga aficionado and is passionate about cooking wholesome traditional meals for her family.
Not one to stop at just one thing, Aditi understood that if one ventured into the family lives of the farmers or villagers, she would also need to help them with social initiatives and education opportunities.
Though the Marathwada region has its unique challenges, Aditi chose certain issues in Latur that needed urgent attention, such as healthcare, education and gaining employment for women in the own homes.
As women had to manage both their homes and their lands, Deshmukh understood that it would be hard for them to uproot themselves and make a move to the cities to eke out a living. She made it convenient for them by bringing the enterprise into their homes, be it through farming initiatives or skilling them in textile work and so on.
Further, Latur saw its women getting short courses in personality development, nursing, free sewing and tailoring classes, since many big chains like D-mart, Reliance and Shoppers Stop were looking for trained staff from Maharashtra districts. The foundation helped these women find employment from their homes itself, so that they would not fall prey to the urban migration system. They also took on issues related to senior citizen welfare and sanitation issues.
Of late, 21 Organics has moved rapidly from vegetable farming towards medicinal herbs. The herb worth a mention here is Aswagandha, frequently used in Ayurvedic therapy. Starting with a 10-acre trail, Deshmukh’s enterprise began cultivating 150 acres and moving on to 600 acres in the Latur region. The adaptogen is one of the key ingredients now being used by Deshmukh in her skincare label, Namaskar Ayurved, which has been sought-after by celebrities and beauty bloggers alike since its launch.
Besides these farming and rural initiatives, Deshmukh heads the Goldcrest Group of Schools, including the first ICSE schools in Latur and others in Navi Mumbai, and the topic of women’s entrepreneurship is one she holds dear.
“India has 432 million working-age women and 13.5 –15.7 million women-owned businesses. Women are the backbone of any household; we are resilient and strong when it comes to the decisions we make, which makes us great leaders,” she says, citing research that shows women demonstrate a higher degree of emotional intelligence.
“Women understand what the gaps in the market are, and what consumers require today because we are consumers ourselves and this holds us in good stead to understand the pulse of the market,” she avers.
Of course, her husband has been unstinting in his support. While Amit Deshmukh started VDF in admiration for his father’s devotion to societal upliftment, he acknowledges his wife’s contribution to it: “Aditi has immersed herself in the roles and responsibilities connected with the various initiatives that she has embarked on, be it the schools, her farm-to-table venture, or the VDF with its various projects. I never cease to be amazed at her capacity for hard work and I am very impressed with her sincerity and commitment.”
I asked Aditi what is the most significant life lesson from her personal journey that she wants to pass on to her kids, Avir and Avan. Quoting the Bhagwad Gita, she says, “The fruit of your action is in performing the action itself. Our duty is to put in our best efforts without worrying about the result, and striking a balance to perform all our life’s roles to the fullest.”

The seed was sown on 22 April 2013 and was ready to harvest on 02 June 2013. Sowings of watercress seed now should take even less time to reach a croppable size.
This single 25 Litre Plant Pot should provide a lovely supply of fresh, healthy and extremely tasty peppery leaves all summer long. The key is to ensure that the plant saucer never dries out and to keep picking!
In total, I would estimate the cost of production, excluding the plant pot and saucer which can be used year after year, at about £2.00. This cost is based on approximately 25 litres of compost and a third of a packet of seeds. To date, we’ve probably picked in excess of the equavilent of two salad bags worth of watercress in just over a week!
Harvesting the watercress is simply a matter of pinching off the shoots, ensuring that at least two, possibly more, leaves are left on the individual plant. This will readily regrow, producing fresh young leaves in no time.
If you’d like lovely fresh watercress at home why not read our article on How to Grow Watercress from seed.
We’ve also put together a Watercress Growing Kit, just add compost and water!
Plant Pots – The differences between Heavyweight and Lightweight Plastic Plant Pots
Plant pots have been made from plastic for many decades now, taking the place of the more expensive and heavier terracotta pots. Plastic plant pots are available in a huge range of sizes, colours, shapes and weights, making them incredibly versatile, and generally more cost effective than the terracotta pots. In fact, some of the newer, modern plastic patio type pots even mimic the terracotta pots and look and feel incredibly realistic.
Generally, plant pots are used for either starting seeds off, in controlled conditions, ready to be planted out once the seedlings are firmly established or they are used to grow the plant in indefinately. This could be due to lack of growing space, to provide the plant with growing conditions and temperatures that cannot be met in outside conditions or unsuitable soil for particular plants.
Different types of Plastic Plant Pots
The smaller plant pots, used for growing plants from seed, can be made from either vacuum forming or thermoforming, or injection moulding plastic.Vacuum and thermoforming involves heating plastic sheets to make them pliable and then they are stretched over a mould, held in place via a vacuum, before being cooler and thereby taking the shape of the mould. Vacuum Forming is a fast process and is used to produce lightweight plant pots that are bulk manufactured at a relatively low cost.
Lightweight Plant Pots
These plant pots are used extensively by plant nurseries and growers because of their low cost and light weight. Whilst they are intended, when sold with a plant, to be almost disposable in use, they can be cleaned and used for several seasons. These pots can be easily crushed with the hand but also tend to have quite a bit of ‘spring’ and quickly return to shape. They have a soft feel to them and no brittleness whatsoever. They are made from UV stabilised plastic and will not degrade in the sunlight.
Vacuum and thermoformed pots are available in a large range of styles and colours, off the shelf, but due to the thickness of plastic used tend to be used to produce smaller plant pots. Again, many of these plant pots are coloured in traditional terracotta colour, mimicking their clay counterparts.
These plant pots can be custom made but due to setup and production costs it is usually best to use a existing mould. Lightweight plastic plant pots can be produced in any colour but terracotta or black coloured pots are the most common. To have plant pots produced in corporate colours a minimum run of 20-50,00 plant pots is required to make the process economical. These plant pots can also be printed onto, again, to make it cost effective reasonable sized runs help to reduce the unit costs.
These lightweight plastic plant pots are generally made with a high content of recycled plastic and can themselves be recycled.
Heavyweight Plant Pots
The Heavyweight Plant Pots are made from injection moulding. That is, heated plastic is squirted, under pressure, into a mould and once cooled, turned out. This process is used to create plant pots with more strength than vacuum forming and much larger, more durable pots can be produced. Injection moulding is a slower process and more raw plastic is used in the product, meaning that whilst the pot is stronger, there is an increased production cost. The cost of the moulds is also very considerable, ranging from something like £20,000-£50,000.
Injection moulded plastic pots are made in a huge range of sizes and can be made much bigger than the lightweight pots due to the strength of the material.
Heavyweight plant pots can be used many times over and are generally a better choice for those growing and raising their own plants. They too usually have a high content of recycled plastic and can be recycled once finished with.
The Garden Superstore probably offer and sell online more plant pots in the UK than any other supplier and have a massive range of pots in all shapes, sizes and styles.

Spear & Jackson Razorsharp Advance Heavy Duty Bypass Secateurs – 6659BS – Product Trial.
The Spear and Jackson Razorsharp Advance Heavy Duty Bypass Secateurs, product reference number 6659BS, is a very strong, robust and powerful set of bypass secateurs. These Heavy Duty Bypass Secateurs sit towards the top of the secateur range offered by Spear and Jackson, for price, quality and power, or cutting capacity. These secateurs have been designed to be used on a regular basis and to tackle some of the tougher jobs. Here we put it on trial and look into how it fairs in our garden.
Anatomy of the Spear & Jackson Razorsharp Advance Heavy Duty Bypass Secateurs
The Spear and Jackson Razorsharp Advance Heavy Duty Secateurs are on the left. The following shows and labels the different parts and features of this garden tool:
A – This is the sharp SK5 steel blades. The blades of this set of secateurs open very large thus accommodating larger stems and branches. Proportionally the blades, again, are very large.
B – Position B, shows the Safety Locking Catch, designed to keep the secateurs firmly closed.
C – Shows the forged aluminium handle construction. For comfort the handles are coated in a red plastic covering. The lower handle, again for comfort, has finger grooves imprinted.
The overall feel and weight of these secateurs does exude a heavy duty, business-like garden tool, designed for hard use.
Using these Bypass Secateurs
- These Bypass secateurs do have that lovely feel of quality, partly down to the size of them but also due to the weight. These secateurs tip the scales at 259 grams and despite the aluminium handles do feel weighty but definately also very solidly built and business-like.
The locking catch does, very firmly, keep these secateurs safely closed. It is easily applied and released, however, being rather small it is a little difficult to operate with a pair of gardening gloves on. Upon first picking up a pair of these secateurs, and releasing the locking catch, you will notice that these secateurs do open incredibly wide, there is approximately 15cm or 6″ between the ends of the two handles. This is certainly useful for cutting larger branches but would preclude those with smaller hands using them. For those with small to medium sized hands, it is likely to be tiresome using these secateurs over a prolonged period.
- These Heavy Duty Secateurs do not have any built in gearing or ratchet mechanism therefore they simply work on brute force alone. The catalogue proscribes a maximum cutting diameter of 20mm or ¾”. To be honest this is all down to the individual users’ own strength. They will cut larger branches than this but with a bit of effort. When cutting at capacity or under, the cut is very easily applied and is made in a single smooth action. The ease of cut must be attributed to the sharpness of the two blades which is excellent. The cut left behind on the tree or bush is very clean.
- The cutting action, capacity and quality of these secateurs is first class.
We have found the Spear and Jackson Razorsharp Advance Heavy Duty Secateurs to have been excellent both in field trials but also in day to day use. They are a no nonsense set of secateurs with no fancy modern additions or engineering, like ratchet mechanisms or a geared system. This does therefore require a certain amount of strength, but the blades are incredibly sharp, straight out of the packet, and they are also thinner than some, thereby reducing resistance on the cut.
These secateurs come highly recommended as a good all round set that will cater for almost all of your cutting and pruning needs. They are incredibly well built and will undoubtedly, with just a little care, last for many, many years.
I will certainly be using these secateurs as my number one choice general purpose cutters.
This is a very good garden tool and comes highly recommended.

Spear & Jackson Blade Sharpener – 4053BS – Product Trial.
The Spear and Jackson Blade Sharpener, product reference number 4053BS, is a lightweight relatively cheap blade sharpener designed for garden tool use. It is intended to be quick and easy to use on a range of bladed garden tools such as secateurs, loppers, knives and tree cutters. The Blade Sharpener is designed to provide the precise angle required to sharpen a blade without an knowledge of the angles involved.
Anatomy of the Spear & Jackson Blade Sharpener
The Spear and Jackson Blade Sharpener is shown on the left. The following shows and labels the different parts and features of this garden tool:
A – This is the ‘v’ shaped notch that houses the tungsten carbide sharpening blade.
B – Finger Guard – safeguards fingers from harm when sharpening.
C – Non-slip grip handle.
D – Hinged compartment containing oil-soaked sponge.
Using the Blade Sharpener
It is best to get into a regular habit of using a Blade Sharpener little and often. Having just used a pair of secateurs, prior to storing them away, I’m going to use the Blade Sharpener just to put the edge back on the blade. The secateurs would be ideally suited to being held firmly in a vice whilst being sharpened but I’m going to just hold them firmly.
Take hold of the secateurs and have the blade to be sharpened at the bottom. If holding, then ensure a very firm
grip. The Blade Sharpener has a ‘v’ shaped notch where the two tungsten carbide blades meet. Place the ‘v’ shaped notch at the back of the secateurs blade and, whilst applying a firm downward pressure, draw the Sharpener over the blade to cover the whole blade. Repeat this process four to five times.
This process is likely to remove some tiny slivers of metal from the secateurs in the sharpening process.
Once complete, the secateurs blade must be oiled before putting into storage. The sharpening process will have exposed the sharp blade edge to the air and it will probably rust if left.
The Spear and Jackson Blade Sharpener has a handy oil soaked sponge built into a compartment within the handle. This is a great bonus, although over time fresh oil will occasionally need to be applied to the sponge, as it will inevitably dry out.
To complete the sharpening process, just run the oil-soaked sponge over the sharpened blades.
We have found the Spear and Jackson Blade Sharpener to be very simple, easy and quick to use. It has definitely helped to keep our secateurs, scissors and loppers sharpened. To keep the edge on your tools takes…30 seconds.
This is a very good garden tool and comes recommended.

Gardman Tree Mulch Rings..The Results
After about 3 weeks of use, I decided to lift the Tree Mulch Rings that I’d placed around the base of one of my apple trees to check, firstly, that enough water was getting through to the base of the tree and, secondly, that the weeks were being controlled.
I have to say that I am very pleased with the results. Although the weeds were not entirely killed off, they certainly are on their way, and given another couple f weeks I’m sure that they would have all been killed off. You can see from the photograph that the weeds are definitely on their way out. Underneath the Tree Mulch Ring the ground was wet, proving that water was getting through the substantial thickness of these rubber mats. In fact, there were a couple of slugs under there, which must mean that it was damp.
Rather than wait for a couple of weeks, until all the weeds are dead, I’ve, rather impatiently, now added an inch of well rotted manure to the base of the tree and then re-place the Tree Mulch Ring over the top. I’ll now do this each autumn and spring, to ensure that the trees are keep feed with organic matter.
I’ve always mulched my fruit trees with rotted manure, but with chickens and other animals about the mounds were either getting scaped out by the birds looking for worms or else they became a fertile ground for weeds.
The Gardman Tree Mulch Rings have completely solved this problem. They are heavy enough to not be displaced and I can get a reasonable amount of compost or manure under them to still satisfy the tree’s requirements.
Overall, I’m very impressed with these Mulch Rings and will be, gradually, using them on all the fruit trees I have.
If interested, the Gardman Tree Mulch Rings can be purchased here.
I’m a bit late posting this, but the culprits have finally been caught in the act. I’ve a fenced off area with my vegetable and salad stuff, mostly being grown in plant pots, that was been seriously eaten by something. To determine what was doing the damage I installed a wildlife camera.
The camera has done its job brilliantly. It also has got excellent picture quality, as you can see below:
1st Pest Caught Eating Cut and Come Again Lettuce…
The first pest captured eating my crops was…….. a great big whacking pigeon! I’ve put up loads of homemade bird scarers but it obviously diddn’t bother this chap. The camera has a date/time stamp, so I know that he was muching his lunch at 1155 hours.
I did suspect pigeons but thought that the scarers, including CDs, would do their job.
However, there’s more…
2nd Pest Caught Eating Leeks…
At about 1800 hours on the same day there were several images caught, in failing light, of the second pest eating a variety of my crops, but with a particular taste for baby leeks…
A cheeky rabbit was caught, no doubt out for his tea, eating a tray of baby leeks, which were almost ready for planting.
I had checked the fence, many times, for signs of holes or burrowing but can’t see how they are getting through. It could be that they are so small that they are able to squeeze through the rabbit netting!
I’ve now got two serious pests to content with. I need to come up with a plan to get rid of these pests or to better protect my crops.
If I had the time, which I unfortunately don’t, it would be an idea to set up a hide and try to take these pests for the pot.
Time for a rethink on my pest protection, me thinks
Gardman Tree Mulch Rings – Heavy Duty Rubber Tree Mulch Rings
Why use Tree Mulch Rings?
These Gardman 50cm Tree Mulch Rings are intended to be placed at the base of newly planted trees, particularly useful for fruit trees, where they help to both reduce weed growth and also to reduce water loss. They therefore help the trees, who are no longer in competition with a whole host of weeds, and grass, for nutrients and water from the soil.
I have about 20, or so, fruit trees, probably about 2-3 years old and they would, I feel, definitely benefit from something like this. On some of the trees I’ve weeded out a circle around the base and mulched with manure. However, with little time for maintenance these have become readily infested with weeds; thistles and nettles being the most prominent.
Installing Tree Mulch Rings
Whilst it might have been a good idea to have cleared the ground around the base of the tree, stripping off the grass down to bare soil, I’ve opted for a less labour intensive method, simply placing the Mulch Ring on top of the grass. I’m hoping that by eliminating light, this will kill off, in time, the grass surrounding the base. I did, however, clip the weeds back.
It is my intention, once the grass has been killed off, to apply a inch or two of manure under the mulch rings to improve the soil, which is quite poor and has trouble retaining moisture.
I’ve only put down one tree mulch ring for now, to see how it goes, Unfortunately, the ground around the base of my apple tree was rather undulating but I’ll see. The mulch rings themselves are very quick and easy to install. They have a single slit running from the outer circle into the central circle and are placed in seconds. They are pretty heavy, being made from recycled rubber, and are about 2cm thick. They are supposed to also let rainwater through, whilst keeping sunlight out.
The results of using Gardman Rubber Tree Mulch Rings…
I will keep monitoring the soil beneath the tree mulch rings and hopefully watch the demise of the grass, although I do expect
a little weed growth through the central ring, although do not expect this to be too troublesome.
If these rubber tree mulch rings do work they will save a lot of weeding time as well as providing more nutrients and water to the fruit trees. All in all they should be very worthwhile.
I will report on their progress in the coming weeks…
The Devastation of my Vegetables Continues…
The crops are now being totally decimated and it’s a case of having to take action, or give up. I’ve made a whole host of scarers but nothing seems to be working. I’ve even installed a couple of humane rabbit traps but with so much food available it is going to be impossible to entice anything into the traps.
I’ve now invested in a wildlife camera, hoping to catch whoever’s eating all my salad and vegetables. It looks like a nifty little camera. I’ve seen these cameras on wildlife programmes and they are triggered by animals breaking an infra-red beam. The camera can be setup to either take pictures or video and operates in colour during the day and black and white at night. It cost about £100, but I’m hoping that not only will it help catch the culprits but later on also catch on camera some of the lovely wildlife outside of my fenced vegetable area and also to provide site security.
The camera is now installed on a fence post overlooking the site, and in particular, the most tempting morsels. I installed at at about 0900 hours and I’ll leave it 24 hours before checking it and hopefully get to the bottom of this perplexing and, frankly, vexing episode.
Pest Damage to My Salad and Vegetable Crops in Plant Pots
In my fenced off, plant raising section, I’ve been growing successional crops of mostly salad stuff, cut and come again lettuce, watercress, landcress, carrots and spring onions. These have all be grown in plant pots.
I had been noticing that every day, more and more of these potted vegetables and salad crops had been eaten. But what could be doing this?
The area is completely fenced off and as far as I can tell there are no breaches in the fenceline, so that has ruled out my first thought; rabbits. I’ve now put up bird scarers, of the home-made variety. I’ve placed tin cans and can lids on strings and attached them to the chicken wire fenceline. With even the slightest breeze these rattle around and make a good noise. I’ve also made a couple of CD scarers, sorry James Blunt!
Even so every day my crops are still being eaten and it is totally demoralising. Having spent weeks looking after crops and getting them so close to cropping size, they have now been so thoroughly attacked that I fear some will not recover. Furthermore, I am reluctant to plant any further crops.
The Damage to my Vegetable and Salad Crops…Thus Far
The damage has been widespread and is in danger of not just checking the growth of my vegetable crops but of totally killing them. The following plants have so far been eaten badly:
- Landcress – particularly bad
- Carrots – thoroughly munched
- Cut and Come Again salad crops
- Raspberry canes
It must be either rabbits, pigeons or, at the outside rats. Wahtever it is, it is clear that my homemade protection and scarers aren’t working and I’ll have to come up with something else, and quick!
Work in progress…and open to any suggestions please. | agronomy |

The first reports on the current psyllium harvest in India are now available and there seems to be a 10% increase compared to the previous year. This has led to a short-term recovery in prices, which have recently been at a very high level.
The harvest forecast is estimated to be about 1.7 million bags of psyllium seeds of 75 kg for the current harvest. The total demand for 2016 was 1.9 million bags. Due to remaining stocks from previous harvests, the demand carry over has so far been intercepted. This is likely to be difficult this year, however, as the overall demand for psyllium continues to rise.
The prices have fallen in the last days for the first time since March 2016. We are concerned, however this development will be short-lived. As soon as larger contracts are concluded and large customers from the pharmaceutical industry are on the market, prices will surely rise again.
We therefore recommend to cover your needs for 2017 soon. | agronomy |

About the Stud
Wilfield Sheep Stud lies on the fertile Canterbury plains, just 20 minutes drive from Christchurch. Our speciality is in Corriedales—but we also produce award-winning Hampshire-Texel & Suffolk-Texel “MEAT” sheep.
Founded in 1992 by Robin, Pip and Gavin Wilson, Wilfield is now New Zealand’s Premier Corriedale sheep stud. Our main focus is in the breeding of “Corriedale 2.0,” a breed based on 130 years of development for both meat and wool production. We also breed award-winning sheep of the Hampshire-Texel and Suffolk-Texel varieties—our MEAT sheep! Wilfield genetics carry with them an assurance of quality, whether it be semen or rams.
We believe we are the most innovative Corriedale Stud farm in New Zealand specialising in Corriedale 2.0 rams - The Sheep for the Future.
Drought Resistant and Long-Living
We bring together the use of traditional breeding practices of good stockmanship with modern technologies of objective measurement and analysis (Sheep Improvement Ltd) and gene marker technology (footrot, extra muscling, cold tolerance and worm resistance) to identify the most productive and profitable animals for meat and wool production. These sheep known as CORRIEDALE 2.0 (based on the computer analogy for upgraded version) are open headed, more fertile, better milking, meatier and finer woolled sheep, bred for putting more money in sheep farmers pockets.
Fast Growth and High Yields
We introduced our MEAT stud 10 years ago, crossing high performing Texel rams over Hampshire ewes and Suffolk ewes. The benefits are the early maturity of the Hampshire and Suffolk progeny, coupled with the vigour and improved hind quarter of the Texel.Return Home View Catalogue
We just want sheep that can go out on the hill and survive and produce and that’s what they do. They’ve got grunt; the Corriedale is the only sheep that still has that fantastic muzzle, strong jaw and bone.
I have been using Wilfield stud rams for several years now during which time my flock has become less labour intensive due to much easier lambing and better foot control. The improvement is both noticeable and welcomed. Wilfield Corriedales also score well with my wool classer!
I have been buying the Wilfield rams for approximately 10 years now. We have always been impressed with the quality of the sheep and the selection available. With our flock being on the finer side, I have always managed to find what we have been looking for. I have also found the mothering instincts of the ewes have improved along with the hardiness and survival of the lambs. And know with the DNA testing for footrot coming further through into our ewe flock, we are looking for big improvements in that area.
Today's dual purpose sheep must be just that: a ewe that can cope with the extremes of our climate and grow a fleece of excellent colour, crimp and staple formation with high fleece weight; and a ewe that has high fertility and successfully rears lambs through to weaning in minimal time. The recovery of mid-micron wool prices and consistently improving production traits (Goldmark scheme) combined with DNA testing for footrot resistance, sees today's Corriedale breed as the ideal choice for many farmers.
My clients who use Wilfield Corriedale rams are achieving excellent results. It is a stud making significant genetic gains in all of the above criteria. I have found them to be rams that shift well, to varied climates - another important attribute. | agronomy |

(Original Novel : கோபல்ல கிராமம்)
In that forest they ate the fruits they were able to forage such as palm fruit, tindora, cactus fruit, and ghee tomato.
The weapons they had used to protect themselves from thieves and bandits were now perfect for clearing undergrowth and chopping down trees.
They built many small mud huts before the rainy season arrived. The first thing they built was an Amman temple. They built the roof’s frame with the branches of manjanati, puvarusu, and neem trees tied to palm fibers. They cut tall grasses and dried them before weaving them into the frame to finish the roof.
They struggled with the expanse of cacti. Any cacti they cut and threw elsewhere would take root and grow there instead of drying up. It seemed impossible to make a few clear patches before the rainy season arrived. Their enthusiasm began to wilt. The cacti had to be taken out with their roots and dirt. Huge stones had to be removed as well, leaving behind holes that had to be filled.
When they dug they found tubers and roots they didn’t recognize, making them wonder if any of it was edible. In some spots they found korai tubers that had a thick, earthy smell. There were many varieties of healthy, wild spinach. Along with all that, they had the eggs of wild birds to fry and eat as a side dish.
They saved the grains they had carried with them, hoping to eventually plant it all. Because of that, they ate whatever the forest gave them.
A few cut aloe and washed it to cleanse the bitter taste before eating it.
“This is divine food that can cure any stomach problem,” Grandmother said.
The water was like nectar. Traced with the taste of the soil it came from, it quenched their hunger and gave them energy.
They hunted birds and animals. There were beehives amongst the cacti that they collected many pots of honey from. They roasted the animal meat and spread honey on it to eat.
Sometimes there was leftover meat. It was cut into small pieces, salted, dried, and stored away to be eaten in the rainy season.
They realized, due to many good reasons, that they had to burn the forest.
The rainy season was fast approaching.
They were growing tired from dealing with an unyielding forest.
How long could they handle cacti with their bare hands?
But a few were against this and they had their own reasons.
It was easy to burn a forest down but was it possible to grow a new one if needed?
If the rain was late, they could at least depend on the forest for food. What would they do if they burned it all down?
The wind had to blow steadily or the fire would spread and surround them.
The more they talked, the more overwhelmed they became.
Grandmother came up with an idea that was like a cure-all. “We must make a large, empty gap between the land we want to use and the land we want to burn down.”
She used her forefinger to draw her plan in the dirt. First, she drew a square and said it was the whole forest. She then drew a second square inside it and said it was the land they needed. After drawing out future wide roads in the four corners, she indicated that they would burn the gaps in between.
The elderly Nallaya laughed. “Whatever we remove and place to the side will dry up and get easily caught on fire. What then?”
“Whatever we cut we should toss into the inner square and not on the paths.”
Most thought that they might as well try.
Except for a few who were keeping watch, the rest discussed the idea until they fell asleep.
The children slept immediately after their evening meal which happened at sunset. Their days were spent playing with the wide variety of insects they found in the forest. The older children helped clear the forest. Or they would watch over the children sleeping in cradles against any foxes or wolves.
The night guards who slept through the day woke up. Whenever the fire in the pit grew dim they fed it dry wood to keep it from going out.
Agni, the God of Fire, gave them light when they had no lanterns. It gave them protection against beasts and kept them warm.
What a wise and brilliant lady is Mangayatharu Ammal? Her precise and perfect plan to a construct a fertile land by destroying forest by fire is well narrated!! Mused myself thinking of the word வெஞ்சனம் we use for a side dish !!

From the Herald and Democrat in 1968
Firing the best golf of the year, the JBU Golf Team swept the first annual Ozark College golf tournament at Joplin, Mo. "When every man on the squad improves anywhere from 10 to 25 percent during the course of the season, you know it has to be a thrilling and exciting climax to pull off a victory in the first tournament the team has ever entered," exclaimed Coach Parker.
Members of the team were Larry Alexander, John Young, Duane Brandsgaard, Stewart Springfield and John Herman. Brandsgaard did not participate in the Ozark Tournament as it was a four-man team tourney.

From the Herald-Democrat in 1988
Once Benton County was known as the home of the Big Red Apple.
Between 1890 and 1910, this county produced more apples than any other county in the United States, and Siloam Springs and vicinity did its part to contribute to the record crops.
In 1895, over 30,000 bushels of apples were shipped out of Siloam Springs and in 1904, 187 railroad cars left the local depot loaded with the fruit. And, in addition to apples shipped out by rail, many bushels were processed at local evaporators, vinegar plants and cider plants. At one time the world's largest apple cider vinegar plant was located in Siloam Springs. The plant burned in 1916.
The Era of the Big Red Apple began to come to a close in the 1920s when disease invaded many of the orchards. The depression of the 1930s saw many orchards abandoned; there were few markets for produce, prices were low and funds were not available for sprays and other production costs. But, the Siloam Springs Museum's new exhibit served as a reminder of the time when apple and other fruit production was a mainstay of the local economy and Benton County was known across the country as the home of The Big Red Apple.

The Steele, Briggs Seed Company was founded in 1873 by Richard Steele and Sylvester Briggs. The company’s success was partially due to the fact that it developed seeds specifically for the Canadian climate and short growing season. While other seed companies based in the U.S. were plentiful, it was critical to find seeds that were proven to grow in the colder, shorter season in Canada. The mail-order seed catalogues published each year were beautiful, eye-catching works of art that were eagerly sought after. Plant on!

CHICAGO (Reuters) – As Iowa heads toward its fourth year of drought, grain farmers prepping for planting next month are facing mandatory water restrictions and livestock producers are searching for supplies.
The nation’s top corn-producing state is seeing one of its driest periods going into a growing season, according to Thursday’s update from U.S. Drought Monitor.
Such dry conditions will allow farmers to plant quickly this season, a bearish move for grain futures that have already been trending downward this year. The U.S. last year harvested a record corn crop despite drought conditions in some areas, and corn prices have hovered around the lowest in more than three years due to plentiful global supply.
Iowa had enough sub-soil moisture that farmers were able to produce a bountiful yield last fall with timely rains, said Don Roose, president of Iowa-based U.S. Commodities.
“This year, we’re running on empty, moisture-wise,” Roose said.
About 23% of Iowa’s corn acres and 19% of its soybean acres are in an extreme drought, according to Gro Intelligence, a New York-based data and analytics firm that analyzed Thursday’s drought update and U.S. Department of Agriculture data for Reuters.
In comparison, less than 2% of the state’s corn and soybean acres were in an extreme drought during the same time a year earlier, Gro Intelligence found.
Though forecasts for spring rains could temporarily improve Iowa’s situation, weather models predict that drought conditions in northern and eastern parts of the state will intensify going into the summer, said Brad Pugh at the National Weather Service’s (NWS) Climate Prediction Center.
Drought concerns prompted Iowa’s Poweshiek Water Association to issue a mandatory water conservation order this month to customers in eight counties and surrounding areas.
Among other things, it warned that, starting April 1, crop farmers wanting to spray diluted chemicals or other inputs on their fields may need to source water from private wells or outside the service area.
That order will impact Cordt Holub. Last year, his cattle were able to drink at a nearby stream – until it ran dry. Water restrictions could mean shifting his crop farming practices later this season, which may impact yields.
“Come summertime, if the water isn’t there, we’re going to have to skip on a fungicide pass, maybe an insecticide pass,” Holub said. “We need water to farm.”
NWS scientists also are tracking how a potential shift to a La Nina weather pattern this summer may impact interior river levels this fall – when U.S. grain harvests hit the global markets.

It is best known for its use in blends, particularly as a foil for the steely Assyrtico grape variety in the PDO Santorini wines. Athiri's softness and low alcohol makes it well suited to this purpose, and it is rarely found as a varietal wine.Despite Athiri's relative obscurity, it is one of Greece's most widely planted grape varieties, covering vineyards in the Aegean Islands as well as on the mainland. It has been said that Athiri is a modern name for Theriaki, an ancient grape variety appearing in many historical wine-related documents.
Location: The hilly countryside in central Makedonia.
Soil: Bright sandy loam, rich in minerals.
Climate: Continental, with sufficient humidity.
Varietal composition: The noble Greek indigenous grape variety Athiri.
Classification: Protected Geographical Indication Makedonikos
Viticultural techniques: An integrated farming system is applied.
Harvest: Late August.
Vinification techniques: The vinification is made in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with cooling jackets, where the alcoholic fermentation takes place at a low and constant temperature to preserve the aromas of the grape.
Character: Clear yellow with hints of green; a youthful wine, flowery, pleasantly aromatic with a crisp finish.
Serving suggestions: A wine recommended with grilled fish, seafood, chargrilled vegetables, light cheeses and fruits.
Serving temperature: Best served at 10 – 12 oC. | agronomy |

Until recently, forest laws put limitations on farmers around the harvesting and transportation of certain tree species. Organisations such as the Private Forest Plantation Cooperative Limited – a cooperative of tree growing farmers and private land owners – used the trade talks to push for amendments to forest laws to improve the situation for farmers.
In 2019, the Thai Government changed regulations regarding the use of trees on private land. Farmers can now legally harvest all trees on their land and get additional income from them without burdensome paperwork and/or field inspections. | agronomy |

Truly, there is nothing like fresh, warm from sun basil wrapped in a sandwich roll-up or around a crisp cucumber. I dry a bunch for the spice jar too. Mostly though I make pesto; whatever we don’t eat in a couple days goes into the freezer for the coming winter when vibrant green pesto is most welcome!
When this soaking step is skipped, then inhibitors inside the nuts and seeds can prevent your gut from absorbing nutrients in this otherwise nutrient-rich food. These inhibitors can weaken digestion, steal nutrients from you, and cause food sensitivities. If you already struggle with poor digestion or a health condition like osteoporosis then you’ll want to do all you can to keep your gut strong.
The most efficient way to minimize these harmful enzyme inhibitors and toxins is to make your own nuts and seeds with the recipe below.

Would you like to become a N.C. Cooperative Extension Master Gardener?
Cleveland County Extension will offer classes in 2019.
The Extension Master Gardener program is an educational program designed to enhance public education in consumer horticulture. It provides educational assistance to the citizens of the county concerning lawns, fruits, vegetables, trees, and ornamentals through the utilization of a trained and supervised volunteer staff.
Under the guidance and support of Extension agents, selected residents of a county enter a specially designed training program in horticulture. Participants in the program must complete the training program, pass an examination, and volunteer a minimum of 40 hours per year (20 hours in subsequent years) through the local Cooperative Extension Center.
The Extension Master Gardener program allows the local Extension to extend education to an ever increasing gardening audience. It also provides the local center with a highly visible way to meet the public demand for information and to develop a strong clientele support group.
North Carolina Cooperative Extension increasingly utilizes trained Master Gardener volunteers to meet the constant demand for consumer horticulture information by the citizens of our state. Seventy three counties offer the Extension Master Gardener program. Many of our county programs are relatively new. There are currently over 3,000 active Master Gardener volunteers.

The plan was to go to a permaculture farm and do a pilot session on a new project, Pailaharu, by a friend where we would take a stroll around the farm and write, read, doodle. I immediately agreed, one – because I was free, two because I love the idea of ‘farm’, three because I love the writing session conducted by this friend and four, because she would bring orange-chocolate cake and you know, you can never say no to a cake (or any food with chocolate in it, or at least I can’t).
We were supposed to meet at Sitapaila Chowk at around 11:15 but then by the time everyone arrived, it was past 11:30. Seven of us then walked from Sitapaila Chowk towards Sunrise Permaculture Farm, which is located on the way to Ramkot. There, we met Prabina didi, whose dad owns the farm. She gave us a tour as well as gave us information about permaculture and her farm.
Sunrise Farm is small for a farm while large for a keba, kitchen garden. Divided into three storeys, the farm grows mixed fruits and vegetables and also have shed for dairy. There are few rules in the farm – not to step on the dyang and walk only on kholcha, not to pick fruits from trees but the ones fallen on the ground are allowed to be eaten, to observe without any expectation and just to enjoy the stroll. After the first tour, we sat down to discuss the idea of the session and later roamed around the farm on our own. From the cold breeze to tall trees, from fruits to ants and bees, the session made us think about how we are connected to the land and nature. | agronomy |

Outdoor Bonsai Care Instructions 1) Water outdoor bonsais daily during spring, summer and fall seasons.However, most parts of the plant, especially the seeds, are found to be poisonous for humans as well as animals.The Tropical Connection - Wholesale foliage and palm nursery.
Palms vary in size from relatively small Windmill and Sago Palms, to giants like Royal Palms and Queen Palms which, when grown, may tower fifty feet in the air.
While the whole tree is poisonous, the seeds (nuts) are the most toxic.Make sure to use palm food fertilizer to rejuvenate them, or mix 1 cup epsom salts in 5 gals. water. They only need this about every six weeks during the growing season.You can propagate sago palm tree from seeds which is a lengthy process.This sago palm is suffering from a classic case of manganese deficiency.Sago Palm Growing Instructions Grow sago palm in medium or bright light.
Care Instructions Each Michael Aram metal object undergoes a series of grinding, buffing and polishing techniques.
Even though this article is on the importance of pruning (trimming) your palm trees always remember that Palm trees are still low maintenance trees.If placed too far from natural sunlight, a sago palm will distort its growth pattern trying to reach the light.Like all plants, it requires a lot of care for proper growth and nutrition.
The Sago Palm Plant, although not a true palm, offers a look into what life looked on prehistoric Earth.While not a true palm, this easy care plant does have the same palm-like appearance to its fronds of leaves.Many think regularly trimming palms will help them grow when in fact just the opposite is true.It will be better to acquire a thorough knowledge about sago palm care, so as to grow these plants properly.However, this can keep your trees looking neat if you follow the proper instructions. | agronomy |

SOME REASONS WHY SOWORE WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE DEBATE…
Below are some of the reasons they don’t want Sowore to take part in the Presidential debate. He’ll definitely expose their many lies…🤷♀
During the televised debate of vice presidential candidates of the PDP, the APC, APCN, ANN and YPP they stated their plans and answered questions about the economy, corruption among other topics. During the debate, which was largely adjudged to have been won by the PDP candidate Peter Obi, VP Osinbajo of the APC made some claims that are factually incorrect.
Claim One: Nigeria is producing 7000 Megawatts of Electricity (FALSE)
According to the umbrella body of the electricity distribution company in Nigeria Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED), While there is an available capacity of 7,000MW, what Nigeria presently generates is not more that 5,000MW. This is because there is insufficient gas to power the thermal plants due to gas line limitations.
Claim two: Nigeria produces 90% of the rice it consumes (FALSE)
Despite the APC government’s promised agricultural revolution, Nigeria is still perceived to be the world’s highest importer of rice according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). Also, Rice farmers in Nigeria have recently reported a drop in output since last year due to higher input costs, insecurity and widespread flooding in the main growing regions.
Claim three: (FALSE) The Cost of fertilizer has reduced.
In a July report, Business Day newspaper reported that the average fertilizer prices across the states increased by with Urea rising by 0.64% and SSP recording an increase of 4.67% compared to average fertilizer prices of June, 2018.
Claim Four: (FALSE) Nigeria is one of the fastest
A World Economic Forum GDP forecast for 2017 listed Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Djibouti as the only African countries in it’s world’s fastest growing economies list. Nigeria did not make the list.
Claim Five: (UNVERIFIABLE)Nigeria has built six innovation hubs.
While speaking at the launch of the NorthEast Innovation Hub in Yola in June, Professor Osinbajo stated that the Federal Government would establish six innovation hubs across the country but yesterday said the FG had established six of such hubs. However, this claim remains unverifiable as there is no report in the media to back this claim that six innovation hubs have been built by the government. . | agronomy |

-- Receive review comments from the public review of the Soil Geographic Data Standard. Based on these comments, a working agenda will be developed to prepare the draft standard to final endorsement by the FGDC as an official standard.
Planned Activity 2
-- Begin the development of a standard dealing with soil data from a specific location on the Earth's surface -- point data.

This dense and humid greenhouse was filled with loads of exotic trees and plants; some of which are, the cacao tree, (which makes chocolate) and papaya trees, which produce yellow, mango looking fruits.
The cacao is a type of palm tree, which then is made into chocolate. Cacao plants can also be made into different moisturising.
Papayas are soft, sweet, yellow fruits, that can be make into medicines, to cure diseases. In the rainforest, animals like monkeys, can eat the seeds, but humans cant because they are poisonous, and you would get a bad tummy ache.
Poo. It is a very useful thing in the rainforest. What happens is an animal comes along, (in this case, a monkey,) and eats the whole fruit. Later on, it swings along the branches of trees, and poos. Then the seed uses the poo as fertiliser, and starts to grow. It becomes nice and healthy.
Some of us were able to spot some peacocks, going towards the badger sett. You had to keep an eye out because they were more commonly spotted by bushes. Despite seeing them, we got the chance to see their feathers come out. The feathers were very colourful and pretty. As you would have gathered, it was a memorable trip.

The Good Food Festival was created for food lovers concerned about the future of our food supply.
“The purpose of the Good Food Festival & Conference is to link some of the best local farmers and family-owned producers of food and farm products with the public, trade buyers and leaders in the field to foster relationships that facilitate the growth of local food systems. FamilyFarmed.org now works with many of the nation’s largest buyers of local food including Whole Foods Market, Sysco, Compass Group, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Goodness Greeness, and others to connect them with local food sources.”
My kids, my mom and I attended the Exhibit part of the Festival on Saturday, March 17, 2012 and we walked away from it looking forward to next year.
There were so many great organic food products, organic product growers and all sorts of local food resources and information. There were product samples, demonstrations and many booths allowed you to purchase the products you were sampling, which was great for me because not only did I get to try something before I bought it, where I live these types of products aren’t as readily available as they are in the city. Hopefully that will change soon!
The event was held at UIC (The University of Illinois at Chicago), which is where I spent 5 years studying Architecture and obtained my Bachelor’s degree. It was great to go back and visit the campus and learn more about my passion for clean and organic eating.
It was sponsored by Chipotle, my favorite restaurant in the entire world and the exhibit floor was filled with great local and semi-local companies all there sharing a common passion for transforming the way we eat.
As I mentioned earlier, there were product samples, demonstrations and they made sure that the kids had a great time too. Purple Asparagus sponsored a children’s area where they learned about composting (and Abby fell in love with worms), planted tomato seeds and made puppets.
I can’t even begin to describe the great food I came home with!
My mom and I both are looking forward to next year.

We extracted DNA from tortillias, fritos, gummy bears, chicken feed, popcorn,cheerios, polenta and jam. We used PCR to amplify the corn invertase gene (to show we had corn) and the Bt toxin gene (to see if the food contained genetically modified corn). We used agarose gel electrophoresis to see whether the corn invertase gene and the Bt gene had been amplified. We showed that corn DNA was indeed present in everything except gummy bears, jam, and cheerios; but we didn’t amplify the Bt gene. Apparently none of the corn in the foods we studied was genetically modified. | agronomy |

Stefano continued his father’s passion for producing Valpolicella wine on their family vineyards all his life and was followed by his sons Daniele and Tiziano (pictured). In turn, the current generation of Accordinis; Giacomo, Paolo, and Marco, have inherited the love for Valpolicella and a place in their family enterprise.
It might seem like stating the obvious, but you get something really special when four successive generations dedicate themselves to producing and refining one particular style of wine. With a total of 10 ha under vine, the Accordindis know every inch of their land intimately. The vineyards have south-eastern exposure and a balanced soil composition perfect for growing the Corvine, Rondinelle and Corvinone grapes that go into the Accordini Valpolicellas. | agronomy |

We carry a wide range of native grass and wildflower seed in bulk and aim to have most of the seeds listed below available throughout the year. If you do not see the species you are looking for, please contact us as we may be able to order it for you.
During the planting season (late fall to early winter) we try to keep all seed on hand to fulfill your order as quickly as possible, but as with our plants, we highly recommend that you call us first to check on availability before you make a trip out to the nursery. All prices are market prices and are subject to change without notice.
To ensure that the seed you buy is appropriate for your location, all seed orders are custom made and can take some time to put together. Please try to give us at least 48 hours notice if you need a seed order put together. This way, we can save you time by having everything ready when you arrive. When you contact us to place an order or to discuss a custom mix, it would help us greatly if you have answers to the following questions:
- What is the size of the area you want to sow? (in square feet or acres)
- Where is the site you are sowing?
- What kind of soil do you have? e.g. sandy, clay, dry, moist, etc.
- Is the area in full sun or partial shade?
- Will the area have supplemental irrigation or just winter rains?
All seed orders are put together at our Moss Landing nursery. If you order seed it needs to be prepaid (Due to the amount of cancellations in the past).
We also sell our wildflower seed in pre-measured presentation packets. These cost $4.00 (tax included) each and are an ideal size for sowing smaller areas. They also make great gifts and stocking stuffers! | agronomy |
