The new habitat would provide nectar, pollen, native seeds, forage and shelter to honeybees, native bees, bumblebees, wasps, flies, butterflies, birds, gopher tortoises, and other wildlife that live in the park. Her idea was well received. Thus began a collaboration between Friends of Crooked River State Park, where both Elizabeth King and Gail Farley are members, and the park.
The park called it the "Pollinator Restoration Project." Friends of CRSP were given the responsibility to plan and implement the project. Gail Farley volunteered to lead the effort. Step one was to stop mowing the one-acre field so that existing vegetation could grow up. By Fall 2019, little bluestem grass, Schizachyrium scoparium, had emerged as the dominant flora. Shortleaf blazing star, Liatris tenuifolia, appeared and grew in in drifts. The best surprise was clumps of wiregrass, Aristida stricta, that surfaced once mowing stopped. We collected seeds of little bluestem and Liatris. Gopher tortoise burrows and wiregrass clumps were tagged so they would not get bush hogged.
We decided to tackle just one-third of the site in 2019. Once the site was bush hogged, volunteers removed as much of the existing vegetation as possible. Our goal was a cleared site that would offer the best native seed to soil contact. While not ideal, we chose to have the park use their tractor to disc and harrow the site. Our volunteers then spent many hours manually raking and removing plant debris from the sandy soil. The hills and valleys created by the tractor's work had to be smoothed to a flat soil surface. Before seeding, a mulched trail was created to weave its way through the site. We then seeded the bed with more than three dozen species of local ecotype native wildflowers and grasses, most being purchased from Florida Wildflowers Growers Association. We didn't have the luxury of collecting desirable seeds earlier. The bed was then rolled to press the seed into the soil. Finally, we spread a thin layer of longleaf pine straw to help keep seeds and moisture in place. With the seeds put to bed, we then walked away and hoped for the best. We knew that many of the seeds required rain and cold temperatures to germinate. And some seeds take 2-3 years for the seed coat to wear down enough for roots to grow. The site is not irrigated, relying exclusively on natural rain. When we say, "Hope it rains soon," we mean it! Plans for 2020 include removing nonnative species from another one-third of the area through solarization this summer, then during State Parks Day, rake out the area and prepare for seeding. We will need volunteers! Please join us on Saturday, September 26, for Your State Parks Day at the Pollinator Restoration Area. | agronomy |

Walking out to your square foot garden and picking a fresh tomato for tonight’s dinner appeals to the self-sufficient nature of most frugal individuals.
I know just enough about gardening to know that I am not very good at it, and that it is a lot of work. My kids have always been fascinated with the idea of growing things, but our soil and our dog make planting anything in the yard impossible. Enter square foot gardening.
What is Square Foot Gardening?
The idea behind square foot gardening is that you can plant fruits, vegetables and flowers in raised beds, above infertile soil and even out of the reach of pets. Seeds are planted in 1X1 square foot plots, and when harvested a new plant is installed in the square. Raised beds can sit directly on the ground, or include a bottom layer and be placed on patios, decks or porches. Because of a bad back, and a dog with a propensity to dig up our new plants, we decided to build a 4×2 foot table-top design.
Materials Needed to Set Up a Square Foot Garden
Material costs are variable, depending on the size of garden you plan to build. I personally opted for a 4′ by 2′ configuration because it fit the table we were planning to use. Most people typically start with a 4′ by 4′ design for their first square foot garden. I’ll share with you what materials I used, but keep in mind the pricing could be higher or lower depending on your local costs of lumber, soil, etc.
(1) Sheet untreated plywood – $0.00 (leftover scrap from a previous home improvement project)
(2) 2x6x8 pieces of untreated lumber – $7.38 Don’t get treated lumber because treatments can seep into the soil and contaminate your planting area.
(8) #8 x 3″ Wood Screws (or deck screws) – $2.94 Use these longer screws to connect the corners of the 2×6′s after cutting to the desired length.
(8) #6 x 1″ Wood Screws – $0.98 These were used to anchor the nylon line to create a grid system for the 1×1 planting plots. I also used a few to fasten the sheet of plywood to the 2×6′s to create a bottom to my container.
(1) Pack of Twisted Nylon Line – $4.43 I used this and the smaller screws to create a grid system on top of the container, in 1×1 square foot patterns.
(2) 2cu ft. bags of Miracle Grow Garden Soil (for flowers and vegetables) – $13.54 There were more frugal recipes here for soil, such as 1/3 compost, 1/3 peat moss, and 1/3 vermiculite. However, I could not find the ingredients packaged locally and the individual ingredients bought separately at the larger home improvement stores were more expensive the bags of Miracle Grow. If you have some compost to mix, such as soil generated from a Mantis ComposT-Twin composter, it would really help your soil.
It was my daughter’s idea to use popsicle sticks to mark the type of fruit or veggie planted. We will fill in the remaining squares after we eat another round of popsicles!
Since we decided to go with raised beds on a table top I checked the dimensions of the table and came up with a suitable size for our square foot gardening container. Four feet by two feet would allow for eight square foot plots for planting. First, cut the 8ft. long 2x6s down to size. Next, position the 2x6s on the table in a rectangular pattern, alternating corners to make the “inside box” dimensions four feet by two feet (I chose not to alternate corners because the table I was working with was only 45 inches wide, so I needed it to be a little narrower). Fasten the sides using the #8×3″ wood screws. If you have trouble with the wood trying to split you may want to first drill pilot holes.
With the sides now fastened it is time to attach a bottom to the container, unless you are planning to put the raised bed directly on the ground. If this is the case, use some cardboard or weed blocking fabric to discourage grass and weeds from coming up through the soil. In my case, the container will be placed on a table top so I needed to attach a bottom to hold the soil in place. Fortunately, I had some untreated plywood I ripped to size. The bottom doesn’t have to be thick, so 1/4″, 3/8″ or 1/2″ plywood would do just fine. Fasten the bottom to the container using the #6×1″ wood screws (assuming you didn’t use 1″ plywood).
Plan for drainage by raising the box up a couple inches. I ripped a couple scraps from the remaining 2x6s and used them to attach four 2″ feet for each corner of the box. I also drilled a few 1/8″ thick drainage holes in the bottom of the box to allow standing water to flow out the bottom.
Create a grid system on top of the square foot gardening container using nylon line and #6×1″ screws, spaced a foot apart across the width and length of the container. Drill the screws about half way into the top of the 2x6s, leaving enough room to tie a knot of nylon line around the screw. If the end of the nylon line frays after cutting (as mine did), use a lighter to gently melt the ends to prevent further fraying.
Irrigating a Square Foot Garden
*Unless you already have a drip line and timer prepared for your garden, you’ll have to water manually early on to improve seed germination. If the air is particularly dry, or hot, you will need to constantly keep the soil moist until seeds have sprouted and taken root. One economical way to do this is to fill used water bottles and poke a small hole or two in one side of the bottle using a safety pin. Use your finger to dig a 1/2″ deep trench the length of the bottle and lay the bottle on its side, pin-prick side down, over the trench. The water will slowly drip into the trench, keeping the soil moist for several hours. Obviously when sprouts begin to appear above the surface you want to be sure not to position a bottle directly on top of the struggling plant.
Perform this routine first thing in the morning so soil gradually soaks and then dries throughout the day, and is driest overnight. This reduces the chance of fungus or diseases developing. This is even more important when the plants begin to develop leaves – avoid wetting leaves at all costs as it encourages disease.
*I’ve since improved on this irrigation system as I became more aware of the dangers of heated plastic leeching bad things into the soil
I’m not sure what to expect from this effort in terms of food yields, but just the process of building the box, filling it with dirt and planting seeds with my kids was worth the $40. If the small garden yields a few fruits and veggies during the spring and summer then all the better. Who knows, if we can cultivate a good crop we may build more boxes next summer and section off an area of the yard so the dog does not eat our produce.
I think over time it will help my kids understand the true value of things. Those strawberries don’t just wind up in the produce section of our local grocery stores. As I pointed out to my daughter today someone has to plant the seeds, water the plants, harvest the crops, clean the strawberries, package them, and transport them to a distributor.
Money Lessons Learned By Square Foot Gardening
#1 – Create a conducive environment for growth. The most important step in gardening is to prepare a bed of fertile soil for your plants to grow.
Money lesson: Similarly, investments require an environment where they can thrive. Faithfully contributing money to bad investments, or a bad brokerage, will do nothing but increase losses over time. Take some time to investigate the various brokerage houses and fund managers before deciding where to invest.
#2 – Select the right mix for optimal growth. Some plants tend to do better when surrounded by other certain types of plants. Some plant varieties are good are warding off insects (such as marigolds). Carefully selecting the right combination of plants could improve the entire garden.
Money lesson: Selecting the right types of investments makes for a more balanced, well-diversified portfolio. With my own finances, I have a blend of tax-free and tax-deferred retirement accounts from both my employer, and things I have opened on my own. I also have a couple cash accounts for short-term savings goals, and conservatively invested taxable funds for longer term goals short of retirement.
#3 – Tend to yoursquare foot garden often, but don’t over-do it. Plants need two basic things to grow – water and sunlight. However, many new gardeners with good intentions kill crops by over watering, or watering too frequently. These overactive gardeners would see improved results if they backed off a bit. Deep watering plants every few days encourages a deeper root system as plants dig down through the soil in search of water.
Money lesson: Overactive investors who constantly make changes to their accounts likely see diminished returns when compared to those who buy and hold for the long term. A few active traders can beat average market returns, but keeping up with single investments requires a lot of homework. If you are like me we have other things competing for our time, so a healthy dose of long-term investments set on auto-pilot lowers the hassle factor.
#4 – Be patient – results don’t come overnight. It took nearly two weeks of faithfully watering and tending to my square foot garden before I began to see green sprouts poking through the soil. It would be unrealistic to expect juicy, plump tomatoes to magically appear two days after planting the seeds.
Money lesson: It is also unrealistic to expect double-digit returns on investments in only a couple months. Select a strong portfolio, contribute to them often and check up on them every few days, but don’t obsess over the results in the short term.
#5 – Keep invaders out. The biggest threat to a square foot garden is from outside invaders, namely insects. Aphids, moths and slugs can wreak havoc to a vegetable garden, chewing away on leaves and fruits.
Money lesson: “The Tax Man” can take chunks out of your profits by eating away at your returns. Be careful when selecting investment vehicles to be sure you are not overly exposed to taxes. Taxes are a part of investment life, but some careful planning can reduce the amount of “fruit” you have to share!
#6 – Don’t be afraid to harvest profits. When fruits are ripe for the picking you must be ready to harvest them. Nothing spoils a garden faster than over-ripened, spoiled fruits and vegetables hanging from the vine. You’ve worked hard to produce these crops, now enjoy the fruit of your labor.
Money lesson: When investments, particularly those outside of retirement accounts, produce a sizable return you need to ring the register and take those profits. It is tempting to let the investments sit to try and earn even more, but this plan usually fails when the investment begins to make a declining correction.
#7 – Prune back overachieving crops. In one of the garden squares (top right) I planted sugar snap peas. They took off! So much so they soon were crowding out my tomato plants. I pruned them back a bit, but they came back with a vengeance. I realized that they were probably not the best crop to plant in a square foot garden, so I transplanted them and planted squash in the empty square.
Money Lesson: It is a good idea to rebalance your portfolio at least once a year, particularly if one of your funds has grown significantly. For instance, when the real estate sector was booming a few years ago many investors saw the value of REITs, or similar real estate related investments, increase considerably. These investments quickly represented their largest fund asset. To rebalance their portfolios many fund owners sold off a portion of REITs, investing in other funds to bring individual fund balances back in line with their desired asset allocation mix.
#8 – Get rid of poor performing crops. Poor performing crops take up space and provide low yield. My strawberry plants were not producing, while other crops were taking off. I ultimately made the decision to cut my losses and remove all but two strawberry plants (lower left square), making room for new investments in a variety of peppers.
Money lesson: Many times investors hold on to poor performing investments for too long, either because they don’t want to record the loss officially, or because they hope the investment will regain some value and lessen the financial hit. When you are stuck holding an investment you no longer believe in, cut your losses. Use the loss to offset some gains you registered from another investment. Use the proceeds to fund a new investment you have researched and feel confident will be a winner over the long term. | agronomy |

A. Cetto
This work goes back many years ago, when in 1928 a visionary man, Mr. Angelo Cetto, with great conviction and strength, sows the noble European wine tradition in fertile lands of Baja California. Mr. Angelo used his skills and knowledge acquired in his native Trentino, Italy.
In 1951, a second generation followed the footsteps of the founder of our company. Mr. Luis Agustín Cetto, who was faithful to the tradition developed by his father, consolidated the brand company in the privileged Valle de Guadalupe, place that gladly welcomed the engineer Camilo Magoni, from Morbegno, Italy, in 1965. This talented winemaker quickly reached maturity and success in winemaking.
The quality characterized by many years rendered its greatest fruits in 1983 when they launched their first L.A. Cetto varietal line, that were soon sought after by the most demanding palates. After years of dedication and dreams fulfilled, in 1983, the third generation of the family joined this task: Luis Alberto Cetto, who entrusts the purpose of reinforcing the growth of the company and strengthen the history of the group, also contributing to the opening of international markets for Mexican wines, while continuing to expand the circle of consumers in our country, more info here.
His second son, was born in Mexico: his name is Luis Agustín Cetto. Mr. Angelo kept buying grapes from the russian families to make his wines. Mr. Angelo acquired his first ranch: La Escondida, located between Tijuana and Tecate, where he planted seasonal vines, like the Zinfandel, among others.
Commercial plantation of grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Nebbiolo, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc began, combined with those already cultivated like Montepulciano, Barbera, Aglianico, Dolcetto y Nebbiolo, among others, seeking the optimal characteristics to produce the best wines. In addition, production and technology systems are modernized.
After a careful process of selecting the best grapes and the best vines, the decision to launch to the market an exclusive selection line under the name Don Luis Cetto, is made, as a tribute to Mr. Don Luis Agustin for his 50 years of dedication and vision to the art of wine making.
Cetto goes International, with exports to Cuba, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Japan. Commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Cetto family, a great wine named “Angelo Cetto Platinum Reserve”, made with an exotic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nebbiolo and Montepulciano, is launched to the market as a sign of the great quality of the Cetto group.
With more than 80 years of quality and tradition, more than 260 international awards and exports to more than 27 countries, we consolidated as the most important wine company in the mexican industry. We also celebrate, the 25th anniversary of Nebbiolo, result of a successful work.
Valle de Guadalupe, Valle Redondo, San Vicente, San Antonio de las Minas and Tecate are the valleys where the great vineyards L.A. Cetto are located.
This great extension allows to enjoying microclimates and different soils that benefit from the winds and sea breezes. Our great vineyards are not only recognized by their great beauty but also because they have allowed to obtain great quality wines from the 14,000 annual tons of grape that are harvested in the 1,200 hectares that hold them and where there are vines up to 80 years old.
Valle de Guadalupe is unique, magical and mysterious. It contrasts the ancestral with modern, the traditional with innovative; the green from the vineyards and ocher; the roast of the hills and mountains. L.A. Cetto had the privilege of knowing this valley, (as well as the San Vicente and Llano Colorado), when viticulture was still the traditional seasonal viticulture and vines, as its name says, pruned as vines. The winegrowers were communal landholders or spoke Russian; we were fortunate to be part of that total renovation, which started in the early 70s and still continues, with the introduction of new varieties, new viticulture techniques and new irrigation systems. L.A. Cetto collaborated to open part of the East of the valley to the vine, and was also a participant and fundamental piece in the construction and development of the wine houses that provided image, prestige, boom and projection to Baja California.

For example, plant matter such as dead trees/ branches, yard clippings and wood chips can be used to generate electricity. Biomass can also include plant or animal matter used for production of fibres, chemicals or heat and biodegradable wastes that can be burnt as fuel. It excludes organic substances such as coal or petroleum. Biomass production is a growing industry fuelled by current interests in sustainable fuel sources.
Industrial biomass can be grown from numerous types of plants, including miscanthus, switchgrass, hemp, corn, poplar, willow, sorghum, sugarcane, and a variety of tree species, ranging from eucalyptus to oil palm (palm oil). The particular plant used is usually not important to the end products, but it does affect processing of the raw material. Other sources for biomass fuel can include forestry residue, farm waste, slaughterhouse and fishery waste, and organic municipal solid waste. | agronomy |

The country provides the ideal growing environment for coffee beans known for bold characteristics, full-bodied, dark chocolate notes, warm flavors, spices, earthy tones, and exotic aroma. As a result, experienced coffee drinkers most highly regard Indonesian coffee beans.
Known as the world's largest Robusta exporter, Indonesia also produces specialty coffees with 20 internationally recognized Arabica beans varieties, such as Sumatera, Java, Sulawesi, Bali, and Flores. Indonesia specialty coffees attain high quality and unique taste because they are produced primarily through traditional farming methods of manual harvesting and screening.
- Sumatera Coffee is some of the world's finest premium gourmet coffees distinguished by their full-body, more earthy than Java Arabica, and low in acidity.
- Sulawesi Coffee has a cleaner and smoother finish with low acidity and creamy texture. And its aroma is nutty and chocolaty, while the flavor notes fruit, dark chocolate, and spices.
- Bali coffee is the first Indonesian local coffee to obtain “geographic indication” certification.
- Flores Coffee is known as a rich coffee with a thick body, mild acidity, woody fragrance, and cocoa flavor

Farm was out around Columbus, Texas, which is one of the prime pecan trees areas in Texas.
We helped lay out a new pecan tree grove on the property.
Planted sixteen trees, in four rows, with 80 feet between trunks.
Dug a 4 inch hole next to each tree, at 3 ft out and 4 ft deep and inserted a 3 inch schedule 40 perforated pipe vertically and filled with gravel for a drip irritation system.
Ran plastic tubing to each pipe with a drip valve.
Watering system to the trees was gravity fed.
There was a large water tank about 12 feet across an 10 feet high that had a cone shaped roof that was upside down and looked like a big funnel to catch rain water.
Tank opening was covered by hardware cloth and window screen to catch the big stuff and keep the tank from becoming a mosquito hatchery.
Water tank could be filled three different ways, by rain fall, float system connected to a well pump, or a gas powered pump that pulled water from the creek.
I'd plant a pecan grove and watch the money grow on the trees.
Declare it a tree farm and take the tax credits (I think it is still possible). | agronomy |

You will be greeted by a traditional oli (welcoming chant) and our very own cultural caretakers will show you the way. Visit and interact in different hands-on village hale (shelters) and learn native Hawaiian activities and practices using the plants from the land. Fresh picked snacks and samples will be provided throughout your journey. The tour takes approximately 4 hours.
In an effort to empower the Hawaiian community, Cheri Inspires will begin growing fresh, organic produce at ‘Cheri’s Ohana Farm.’ The freshly harvested produce will be provided to local families in need through a community-supported-agriculture (CSA) subscription service. Families struggling with food insecurity will be sponsored for a year-at-a-time with this donation-based program. Sponsored locals will be able to subscribe to boxes of fruit, vegetables, and potentially other household staples or medicinal add-ons. Products received will depend on seasonal growth and will largely include Hawaiian staples such as kalo (taro).
Not only will this project aim to support Hawaiians in need, but this effort will correspond with that of preserving uplifting the whole Kaua’i community, as all labor will be sourced from local farmers and volunteers looking for community. Cheri’s Ohana Farm is looking to restore a thriving, self-sustaining Hawaiian Ahupua, or land division from the mountain to the ocean, to feed and sustain the families in the community in need by cultivating the land and natural resources.
In collaboration with world-renowned architect Bernardo Rodrigues, we will be bringing stunningly designed facilities to Cheri’s Ohana Farm. We have found with Bernardo a like-mindedness for harmonious and healthy integration with the natural world as reflected by the previous work developed by him and his firm.
“It is an amazing site, a real gem of elements and nature, ocean and island, sky, water channels and ancient sacred land. That is the perfect canvas and blueprint already half or all done, for us simply to delineate and make vibrate the structural reality of the place. We will build the future in Maui, the future of interpersonal trust, care and sense of purpose within a community!”
ABOUT BERNARDO RODRIGUES ARQUITECTOS
From the Venice Biennale and Milano Triennale to Tokyo, Istanbul, London, S. Paulo, Prague, Lisbon, and many other places and institutions such as Cornell University in the United States, Bernando Rodrigues and his firm’s architecture and ideas have earned themselves invitations to exhibit, publish, lecture, teach, and curate exhibitions. Most recently, Rodrigues has completed work on Chapel of Eternal Light in Portugal, a labor of twenty years that has was partly informed by his own experiences of grief.
The farm will be located on 370 luscious acres in the Honopu valley along the northwestern shore of the island Kauaʻi. The population of Kaua’i has a significantly higher than average percentage of residents below the poverty line when compared to the rest of Hawaii, which is why providing a variety of subscription options here is essential. Because of the grave food instability on the island Cheri Inspires has pivoted to answer the communities urgent need. Produce for the subscription services will be harvested by primarily volunteers and local farmers using organic regenerative practices.
Additionally harvested fruits and vegetables will be sold at a Cheri Inspires Farmers’ Market to further interact with the Kauaʻi community. This will also lead to education-focused opportunities, raising sponsorship funding, and allows all of the Kaua’i community access to fresh produce.
This will become known as a place of Hawaiian culture, agriculture, education, and sustainability. We are using the land in the way it was used for hundreds of years in the past, to provide for the people. We are growing food to feed the families that work the land, as well as the surrounding community. In short the farm promotes Hawaiian culture, provides an outdoor classroom venue, and provides jobs for native Hawaiians to make a living, living the culture.
At Cheri’s Ohana Farm you can take a step back in time and hike alongside the stream through our lush forest and majestic mountains. Visit the pristine and remote location of the Village where an active restoration of a historical valley is in progress. You will be surrounded by ancient rock walls, waterways, and Hawaiian agriculture. Participate in hands-on activities using plants from the land grown for food, shelter, and clothing in the Hawaiian culture.
Tours through the Waihee Valley will share with guests the traditions and values of the Hawaiian culture that sustained life for generations. It is a historical place that is being restored where people can visit to see Hawaiian culture, agriculture, native plants, traditional Hawaiian hale, historical taro patches, water ways, and natural resources.
Throughout each tour, we will share values such as: Aloha ‘aina (Love of the land), Malama ‘Aina (To care, protect, look after the land), Ohana (Family and Community), Laulima (Many hands working together), Olelo makuahine (Communicating through the mother language), Ma ka hana ka ike (By doing one learns).
Experience a short walkabout through our lush valley and Village. See how Hawaiians have thrived for generations by cultivating the land and preserving their resources. Each guest will spend time experiencing a few of our native Hawaiian activities and have an opportunity to take some of our language and traditions home with them. The tour takes approximately 3 hours. | agronomy |

N.I. Tkachev”, which belongs to the family of the former Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation Alexander Tkachev, retained its leadership in the ranking of the country’s largest landowners, published by Forbes magazine on March 3.
“Abandoned nobody needs”: how Russia plans to use ownerless lands
Will the new measures help to cope with the empty hectares of agricultural land
It is noted that the land in the Krasnodar and Stavropol Territories, as well as in the Rostov Region with a total area of 660 thousand hectares is estimated at 88.6 billion rubles.
In second place on the list was the food group “Prodimex” by Igor Khudokormov. Land plots located in the Central Chernozemny region with an area of 892.2 thousand hectares were valued at 65.1 billion rubles. The third line of the rating was occupied by Miratorg brothers Alexander and Viktor Linnikov (land plots of 1.047 million hectares and a cost of 49.1 billion rubles).
The magazine also added that for the first time this top includes such companies as the French Sucden and Agrosila with HC Ak Bars from the Republic of Tatarstan.
It is clarified that, in total, the rating participants own 8.3 million hectares with a total value of 617.31 billion rubles, which is almost a third more compared to the data of the previous rating (2019). Then the editors noted that the calculation of the cost of land was based on open data on the purchase and sale or the average cadastral value of a hectare, adjusted by a factor of 1.38, and the analytical report of the Sovecon company.
The leader of the list in 2019, as well as this time, was the possession of Agrocomplex im. N.I. Tkachev”, the area of land owned by the company at that time was 649 thousand hectares, their cost was estimated at about 68.5 billion rubles.
In second place in the ranking was the Steppe agricultural holding, the main owner of which is Vladimir Yevtushenkov. The area owned by the organization was 412 thousand hectares, the cost was estimated at 45.6 billion rubles. The third place was taken by Miratorg, which then owned 1 million hectares of land in eight regions. The top five also included Prodimex, the Pokrovsky concern, the lands of Rusagro, Kuban and Agrogard. | agronomy |

I enjoy this fruit fresh and then pass it on to friends and family who enjoy this fruit just as much as we do😍 The fig tree is one of the world’s oldest trees, of which history can be traced back to the first historical events.
Let’s talk about some health benefits of figs and ways to enjoy:
💚Fresh figs are loaded with vitamin A and K, minerals, soluble fiber, natural sugar, and phytonutrients.
💚100 g of fresh figs can provide 45 calories and 9 g fiber while 100 g of dried figs provide about 200 calories and 2g fiber. Hence, be mindful of consumption when enjoying it as a dried fruit.
💚They have a very sweet and unique taste and have lots of seeds inside giving it a crunchy texture.
💚This versatile fruit can be enjoyed fresh or can be dried and preserved year-long or can be a sweet addition to any recipe.
💚It is highly perishable and since has a high fiber content should be enjoyed in moderation as can have a laxative effect.
Come visit us in July if you want to taste the sweetness of figs😋 from my tree… | agronomy |

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is reminding farmers who grow potatoes of the importance of managing risks to workers during the potato harvest as it launches its latest inspection initiative.
HSE inspectors will be visiting farms across the country that grow, pick and process potatoes over the next few months to ensure risks during the harvesting season are being controlled and measures are in place to protect farmers and their workers.
Those working in the industry are reminded of the range of free resources available on the HSE website which offers guidance and advice for what can be a hectic time for workers.
The initiative announcement comes after the latest HSE statistics show that there have been 30 deaths on farms in Great Britain over the last 12 months. Incidents during potato harvesting season remain a common cause of serious and fatal injury and recurring causes include entanglement with dangerous parts of machines, being struck or run over by vehicles and falls from height.
Throughout the inspection initiative, inspectors will be checking:
- Haulm and clod rollers are properly guarded;
- PTO guards are in good condition;
- Harvester operators have been trained;
- All drivers follow Safe Stop;
- Work equipment is adequately maintained;
- Moving vehicles are segregated from pedestrians; and
- Risks or falls from trailers and in potato stores are managed.
HSE’s head of agriculture, Rick Brunt, said: The risks during potato harvesting are well-known but the precautions are straightforward. Farmers and their employees need to work together to make sure equipment is safe and work is well-planned. This inspection initiative is about ensuring those participating in any harvesting activity remain safe and go home from their work healthy.
HSE is calling on anyone involved with the potato harvesting season to do what they can to reduce the likelihood of incidents on their farms. By following guidance freely-available on the HSE website, farmers will be ensuring that risks are adequately controlled. | agronomy |

December 22, 2016 – Hemp is getting more attention in the heartland. AgWeb reported this morning on Kentucky’s expanding hemp crop, referring to hemp as “the New Tobacco” in the state.
Since the 2014 U.S. farm bill’s authorization of state agriculture departments to create industrial hemp research pilot programs, Kentucky has increased hemp acres planted from 33 to 922 in 2015, and increasing to 2,350 acres planted in 2016.
AgWeb cites various key drivers to hemp’s rising popularity in amongst Kentucky’s agriculture industry including declining prices for grains and commodities and a shrinking tobacco market. According to the Hemp Industries Association, total retail sales of hemp products in the U.S. reached $573 million in 2015.
There are estimated to be anywhere from 25,000 to 50,000 uses for hemp, which basically fall into three major product categories: fiber, oilseed and pharmaceuticals. The pharmaceutical category of industrial hemp which is responsible for producing medical cannabidiol (CBD) oil is another key driver to hemp’s increasing demand and attraction as a cash crop.
Cannabidiol has been found to have therapeutic potential for disorders including inflammation, and anxiety, and has the potential as a neuroprotective agent and an antioxidant. It has been used to treat nausea, arthritis, cancer, diabetes, neurogenerative diseases and pain.
From an agricultural perspective, the Corn Belt is believed to be the best region for hemp production, in addition to Kentucky, which has been successful in past production.
As of October 2016, 30 states have passed laws on industrial hemp. Approximately half of the state laws permit farmers to be licensed to grow hemp. Thirteen additional states are attempting to pass laws. In three states, hemp legislation is contingent on changes in federal laws governing industrial hemp. And all states use the threshold concentration of 0.3% THC to legally distinguish hempo, except for West Virginia which set the threshold at 1.0 THC. | agronomy |

Organic food is healthier and has been proven to be better for your overall health and longevity of your life. Since this is something that many people are looking to accomplish for themselves, we can begin to understand why the farmers who grow pesticide free organic food are able to charge more than they do for regular produce. It takes a lot to grow organic food, and to produce food that fits the organic food definition is something that many strive for, but few can accomplish due to a lack of resources and time. There is a lot of land that can be wasted if the organic food definitions that we all want start to become the norm for people.
Organic food claims to not use the same chemicals as regular produce, but it does come at a high price ticket. The food that we would otherwise consume is thought to be not as high quality and lacking in freshness. Those that live on a fully organic diet consider themselves to be very healthy and fit. These people care about the kinds of foods they eat and they value where it comes from and how it is grown. Typically most people who are avid about organic food will shop a farmers market or will hail from cities on the west coast where food content is very important. Generally speaking, most people that are into eating organic food shun the fast food industry and would rather meet death than go to a place that is filled with food that is considered contaminated. They usually cook their own meals and rarely go out if ever to eat. For reasons such as these, many people shy away from a diet composed of mostly organic food. | agronomy |

A: Only for a year or two of weed control, if you think that the weed problem will be severe and that no one will have time to weed. I recommend leaving landscape cloth in place not more than two years. By that time weed seeds will have blown in, and their seedling roots will have pierced the landscape cloth. Meanwhile, grass stems will have infiltrated from below. In another year the landscape cloth will have become the center of a weed carpet. Another problem is that landscape cloth prevents perennials and shrubs from their normal ability to spread sideways.
Q: What do you do about bugs that you don’t recognize but which are eating holes in leaves?
A: Most of the time I do nothing. I look once a day or so, to make sure that the number and/or size of the holes are not increasing at some astonishing rate. As long as the plants are staying ahead of the damage, I let plants and bugs deal with their own problem.
I believe that healthy gardens include healthy insect populations. If I interfere unnecessarily, I am likely to upset the ecological balance, just because I do not understand the complexity of what is happening in the garden. I do not mind seeing a few holes in leaves. For instance, I love having a variety of butterflies throughout the summer. But it is not possible to have butterflies without having the caterpillars which grow up to be butterflies. And caterpillars eat holes in leaves.
This is not to say that all leaf-eating bugs are welcome in my garden. There are a few kinds which cannot coexist with garden plants. Like biblical hordes of locusts, they would strip the countryside of all its green. But these are truly rare occurrences. Many years ago my garden was visited by a few tomato hornworms, and one hornworm can strip a leaf to its skeletal veins in less than an hour. I picked off the worms and disposed of them, and I have not seen a hornworm since.
Every summer when white butterflies appear around the broccoli and cabbages, I move to protection mode. Either I cover all the plants with netting, or I spray them weekly with Bt, the bacterium which kills caterpillars but nothing else. And I spray Bt only on plants in the cabbage family. I know that they would be eaten out of existence by cabbageworms. Other caterpillars I do not spray, because the damage they cause is not fatal to plants. They munch, not devour.
After years of gardening in the same place I have fewer and fewer problems with damaging insects. Though I cannot prove the connection, I think that interfering as little as possible has increased the beneficial insect population while decreasing the enemies. It has allowed birds to eat their fill of bugs, for one thing, so that I get to watch more birds. I am reminded of the old dictum that most garden insects are good news to a gardener; only a few make trouble.
Whatever I do about insect control, I never use a product that is designed to kill many kinds of insects. Simply because of the natural insect distribution, these “broad spectrum” insecticides kill far more good bugs than bad. They kill many insects which would otherwise be eating the bad ones. There are a few insecticides like Bt and neem which target only some bugs. These are the ones I use, but still I employ them as a last resort. I spray only an out of control problem, perhaps once a year.
I also use a forceful spray of water to knock bugs off the plants they are eating. I consider water to be a fairly benign weapon.
Q: If I want to save seeds from any of my vegetables, to grow next year, how can I be sure that they will grow the plants I expect them to be?
A: Growing a true variety from seed is so complicated that few gardeners try it. Plants making seeds for the next year must grow in isolation from any other varieties; their location must also be rotated regularly if the true variety is to be maintained. If seeds are grown in the same place two years in a row, the second year’s crop will inevitably contain some plants from the previous year. Seeds drop to the ground before harvesting. Unless it is the same variety which is always grown, the two varieties are mixed into a new one.

Complications like this explain why commercial seed production was such a boon to gardeners when it first appeared. In this country a few Shaker colonies in New York pioneered the growing, packaging, and sale of vegetable seed. Gardeners were so excited to buy their dependable seeds that the Shakers could not keep up with the demand. Soon commercial interests got into the seed business, and the movement has only increased from that point.
Another problem, obviously, is cross-pollination. To keep a strain of any vegetable pure, it must be grown far enough away from other strains that bees will not travel between them. Sometimes plants grown to produce seed are kept under cover, so that flying insects cannot reach them.
All this makes it understandable why growing one’s own vegetables to produce seed is done for fun. It can be very pleasurable, but it is a labor of love and experimentation. Growing vegetable seed to sell to seed companies is a specialist’s business.
Q: We bought some foxgloves several years ago, but most of them lasted only two or three years. Is there a way to keep foxgloves in our garden, or is it necessary to replace them every few years?
A: Foxgloves survive our winters easily, so cold weather does not prevent their being a lasting presence in our gardens. However, most foxgloves are biennials or short-lived perennials. They must be continually replaced from seed. Since foxgloves are champion seed producers, an easy way to ensure seedlings is to let a few flower spikes make ripe seed, or to leave the bottom few inches of most flower spikes until seeds ripen and scatter.
Because foxgloves are fussy about their growing conditions, try letting some of the seeds fall around the existing plants. Then offer them a choice of other locations by scattering some seed in likely places. Do not clean up the area so thoroughly that the scattered seeds are removed. The foxglove seeds will want soil that does not dry out and is shaded for part of the day. You may discover that the foxgloves prefer some new location to their original one.
Watch for baby foxgloves in spring, and do not weed them out. Seedlings will show up as tiny rosettes of quilted leaves, densely packed together. The crowded seedlings can be left to thin themselves. They will make only ground-hugging leaves the first year. Tall flower spikes will appear in the second summer. | agronomy |

MANILA, Philippines — The government’s offer of a one-time P5,000 cash assistance to the country’s farmers is of little worth, as the rice industry’s liberalization has cost them way more than that, a farmers’ group said over the weekend.
The Federation of Free Farmers (FFF), one of the largest non-government organizations of rural workers in the Philippines, slammed the recent decision of the Department of Agriculture (DA) to no longer impose safeguard measures, at least for the meantime, even as farmers continue to suffer from low palay prices.
“The P5,000 is only about one-fifth of what farmers have lost this season due to the drop in palay prices, so it’s just like consuelo de bobo for them,” FFF national manager Raul Montemayor told The STAR.
“I foresee problems in how they identify beneficiaries, because not all rice farmers can be accommodated, and the negative reaction from farmers who also suffered but are not qualified to receive the money just because they have larger landholdings,” he added.
Agriculture Secretary William Dar last week said the Cabinet has decided to not tap safeguard measures amid alleged inflationary effects.
Instead, the government will give a one-time cash assistance of P5,000 each to farmers tilling one hectare and below.
“It does not solve the problem and does not address the root cause as to why palay prices are dropping, which is the surge of cheap imported rice, and for which the only legal way to arrest the surge is to impose safeguard duties,” Montemayor said.
The group has also expressed disappointment with Dar for not deciding on his own, allowing other members of the Cabinet to decide what will happen to local farmers.
“He opted to toss the problem to the EDC (Economic Development Cluster) and then the Cabinet, without taking a stand as DA secretary, which the law requires him to do,” Montemayor said.
“It appears now that DA policy is being controlled by the economic managers, and he (Dar) has no choice but to follow them,” he added.
At the very least, the group urged Dar to divulge the results of their investigation on the need for safeguard duties, and not just say they terminated the investigation without any result.
FFF also disputed the government’s claim that imposing safeguard duties may be inflationary given that large volumes of rice have already been imported at cheap prices and at the regular tariff.
“The government just has to find a way to get this rice out into the market at a reasonable price. It is unfair that farmers will continue suffering without the safeguards just because government cannot control how imports are sold in the market,” Montemayor said.
The planned cash assistance will be taken from the excess tariffs being collected under the Rice Tariffication Law. The government has so far collected P11 billion since the law took effect in March.
The Bureau of Customs earlier said revenues from the opening up of the rice market will likely yield P15 billion this year, exceeding the P10 billion target under the law.
The tariff collection from rice importation will be allocated for the Rice Competitiveness Enhancement Fund, which will be used for programs to boost the productivity and global competitiveness of local farmers.
The excess from the P10 billion will likewise be for the farmers, especially those affected by the drop in palay prices.
The DA recently terminated the study on imposing safeguard measures, pending consultation with the country’s economic team.
Under the rules of the World Trade Organization and the Safeguard Measures Act, the government can impose general safeguard duties on imports of rice on top of regular tariffs if imports are found to have caused, or threaten to cause, injury to rice farmers. | agronomy |

soil requirements; The most important aspect of the soil for banana plants is that it must be well-draining. Any soil that holds water can quickly kill a banana tree. This means that the soil you use to plant your banana tree should include loamy, sandy soil , not fine sand that clings together, but larger grains that drain easily.
Land Preparation; Clearing of the land which is followed by stumping and maklng of ridges or heaps. It can also be done mechanically through ploughing, harrowing and riding.
method of propagation; Banana is propagated by vegetative means any time from April to September. Dig a hole and plant the sucker with ball .of earth. The hole should be 60cm x 600m. The holes are filled with soil mixed with organic matter.

Hydroponic growing methods use little or no harmful chemicals including pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides. Insect and disease control are accomplished by using biological control methods which are safe to the environment.
The hydroponic methods utilized by Chesapeake Greenhouse are extremely conservative regarding water consumption, using only about one tenth of the water that is normally used in open field agriculture. Fertilizer needs are reduced as well keeping costs lower, and waste materials to a minimum.
Other Info: Currently, almost all lettuce consumed in the United States comes from soil grown production in California. A small amount is produced in season, throughout the country, also being grown in soil. Quality as well as prices tend to fluctuate greatly depending on the weather in California. Growing the lettuce in a controlled environment is a significant benefit to the customer as prices and quality can remain stable.
Consumption of fancy lettuces and herbs continues to rise, and consumers are demanding fresher, better quality, and safer produce. Food safety is at the forefront of thinking with today’s consumer. They want and expect food that is not laden with harmful chemicals. Controlled environment agriculture allows safe, biological control over insects and disease and reduces or eliminates the need for harmful chemicals.
The unpredictability of weather and climategive further reasons for the increased use of controlled environment agriculture and hydroponics. As this weather trend continues and more climatic changes occur, indoor farming will become more prevalent and more necessary. | agronomy |

Indeed, many families visiting the farm return yearly and have been spreading the word! Many new visitors to the farm have heard about it from their friends and family and quickly become repeat visitors after this particular farm steals their hearts.
The invaluable help of family and friends keeps the Knox farm, originally a dairy farm, going strong.
“Many people have strong ties to this property,” says Mr. Knox, “and by everyone pitching in day after day, we’re able to offer the public a glimpse of life on a farm, as it was a century ago, as it is today, and as it will hopefully be a century from now.”
The Knox Family has been farming in Durham since 1832. On arrival from Scotland in 1832, Alexander Knox hand-built a stone house for his wife Jean and their nine children.
Seven generations later, the Knox farming traditions are still strong, and we continue to give back to our community and help others learn about agriculture, food and farming in Ontario.
These local, provincial and federal contributions have been recognized with inductions into the Order of Canada, the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame, and the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame, and by receiving Grand Champion at the Royal Winter Fair, honourary doctorates, and recognitions from 4-H, Junior Farmers and the local community. We even have a few (dairy) princess ambassadors in the family!
Nestled in the countryside, this historic farm offers lots of fun for the whole family. Young and old alike delight in offering fall activities, including thousands of pumpkins and fall decor, wagon rides, farm animals, a straw jump, and pony rides, along with a snack shack, fresh kettle corn, and hot apple cider. Winter features Santa himself, horse-drawn wagon rides and cozy campfires. The genuine farm atmosphere and century-old trees that frame hundreds of orange-hued pumpkins and fall activities all add to the ideal family outing.
The farmhouse was built 136 years ago, in 1887, to replace the log cabin which originally stood just south of it.
Jordan Van Nest (son of John Van Nest and Lydia Trull), his wife Edith, and their ten children were the first of many since to slide down the banister and play in the ‘big room’ with its seven doors. Today, four generations of Knox descendants come ‘home’ for the harvest…and to welcome you all back for some pumpkins, ponies and popcorn! | agronomy |

They have been the one thing that have kept my vegetable (and flower) garden from being totally organic. I don't use anything but compost for fertilizer--no chemicals. I mulch. But no matter what organic method I have tried, those slugs keep coming, sliming their way to my flowers and veggies, laughing their silent but no doubt mocking slimy laugh as they consume the beauty and abundance I have TRIED to produce.
Diatomaceous earth--no go, not in the very wet Pacific Northwest. It's basically ineffective after it rains, and slugs proliferate in the wet. Beer--somehow, I seem to have the only tea-totaling slugs on earth. The dear hubby has nixed putting geese in our yard, which I have to agree with, because I don't like having to avoid stepping over goose poop in our yard (yeah, I know, it's natural fertilizer, but geese are also often mean. Also, we have a cat--a big, affectionate, but weenie cat that would no doubt be terrorized by such a bird).
Salt--no. There is a reason why ancient Assyrians "salted the earth" after conquering their enemies. Salt was their form of making the fields of the conquered people unable to produce crops. We have enough slugs here that using salt all the time to get rid of them would render my goal of producing luscious veggies near impossible.
So I have ended up using Cory's Slug and Snail Death. Part of the reason is that it is very effective. The other is that there is something honest and upfront about what the product does: no hiding it, no prettifying the goal of the product. It deals death to slugs and snails, period. I appreciate honesty like that.
However, I still want an organic garden. I don't like the idea of nasty chemicals seeping into what I eat, look at, and smell. I want to be able to pick the veggies, give them a good rinse under the faucet, and eat, right then and there.
I am persistent, so I keep looking. And today, much to my delight, I found the perfect Pacific Northwest solution: coffee!
Here's where I found it: http://www.plantea.com/slug-baits-coffee.htm
It seems that caffeine is toxic to snails. However, as every avid gardener knows, coffee grounds are great to add to compost. So, using coffee and coffee grounds will repel slugs while at the same time helping your garden soil become richly productive. Is that great or what? The special obsession of the Seattle area--coffee in all its wondrous forms--gets rid of the bane of Pacific Northwest existence: slugs.
I haven't tried it yet, but I certainly will. It will mean cutting open used Senseo pods, but I'm fine with that.

Wine is our passion and we take care of the whole wine making process ourselves, from planting the grapevines till corking the bottles. In 2016 we finalised procedures necessary for legalising the vineyard in Poland and we also secured the liquor license as well as the varietal wine certificate. We’ve also recently joined The Lesser Poland Wine Trail, initiative focused on supporting the recovery of wine making tradition in our region. We offer a wide range of attractions: wine tasting, classical and jazz music live. Once a year in August we organise an international music festival - Vitis Music Sfera Festival, the only such event during which musicians from different countries perform on the hill of the vineyard.
The vineyard is currently 1 ha. in area, but we are planning to expand it in the following years.

It is one of the better known tropical members of the soapberry family to which also the lychee belongs. It is native to the Indomalaya ecozone defined by South Asia and Southeast Asia. (source: Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia)
an apple with mango taste or a mango that looks like an apple in appearance, whatever..
We used to have an apple mango tree in front of our house when I was a kid. My father planted the tree and I guess he had a green thumb that even when the tree was very young, it already bears a lot of fruit. At that time, it was always noticed by neighborhood and passers by because of its fruit with pinkish and apple like color.
We love the apple mango tree but not the fruit. We were not really interested to harvest because we don’t like the taste at all. Yes, we eat, but it’s not our favorite fruit, as we find it dull for our taste bud.
It was just some years ago when we decided to cut down the tree as the old folks said that it gave us bad luck based from Feng Shui, and that a sour tree is never good planted in front of the house. if only I could turn back the time, I wouldn’t have let them cut the tree. Poor tree, my children would have enjoyed the fruit and the shade would have provided a cooler temperature especially during summer.
The taste of apple mango gives me a different taste like a medicinal herb. I would always prefer a ripe carabao mango. However when unripe, I liked it better as it isn’t as sour as carabao. I can eat it without shrimp paste or salt.
A few days ago, I bought a kilo of apple mango. Surprisingly, I like the taste now. Do taste buds change? I guess, yes! I find it sweeter now just as much as carabao.
I usually buy fruits that are only common to us like mango, water melon and orange. When I buy a certain fruit like kiwi, passion fruit and dragon fruit, that means I only crave to buy a piece or two and not because it is included in our diet. Dragon and kiwi are kind of expensive and thought that I could get all the vitamins from other fruits that give the same nutrients.
When I watched a documentary show that features dragon fruit, I listed down dragon fruit in my supermarket list. I thought about the many benefits we would get from this fruit. It has little black edible seeds inside like kiwi fruit, sweet and crunchy. It is low in calories and rich in nutrients like Vitamin C, phosphorus, calcium, plus fiber and antioxidants.
While touring around Baguio, we stopped by at vendors selling fruits and vegetables. It was my first time to see Passion Fruit and this fruit is really strange to me. My friend Joy, knowing the benefits of this fruit, bought a kilo and had me tasted it. It is juicy with numerous black seeds inside, hollow yet crunchy. I could say it is exotic, sweet yet sour in taste.
Passiflora edulis (Passion Fruit) is a vine species of passion flower that is native to Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina. Its common names include passion fruit (UK and US), passionfruit (Australia and New Zealand), and purple granadilla (South Africa). In the Philippines passion fruit is commonly sold in public markets and in public schools. Some vendors sell the fruit with a straw to enable sucking out of the seeds and juices inside. It is not very popular because of its sour flavour, and the fruit is very seasonal. Source: Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
There are a lot more benefits of passion fruit. All parts are used including the leaves, flowers, peels, stems and passion fruits. The passion fruit contains phytochemicals. The juice especially the leaves contain the alkaloids that lower blood pressure, as sedative and as antispasmodic. The leaves are used for medicinal purposes while the flowers has sedative effects that can induce sleep.
It is enough to say, even without checking the info online, that the weather today hits the hottest temperature as I felt the warm sun kissed my skin. I hanged my laundry, did not spin it, and it got dried up in a few minutes.
Drink enough water or fresh drink to rehydrate your body. The weather is just so draining and my head is starting to get drained too. I didn’t cook much this week as we have less appetite because of the El Nino-like weather. I just prepared something for FTF to refresh your body, fresh juice to cool you down. | agronomy |

Poor Haitians Resort to Eating Dirt
It was lunchtime in one of Haiti's worst slums, and Charlene Dumas was eating mud. With food prices rising, Haiti's poorest can't afford even a daily plate of rice, and some take desperate measures to fill their bellies. Charlene, 16 with a 1-month-old son, has come to rely on a traditional Haitian remedy for hunger pangs: cookies made of dried yellow dirt from the country's central plateau.
The story only gets worse...
At the market in the La Saline slum, two cups of rice now sell for 60 cents, up 10 cents from December and 50 percent from a year ago. Beans, condensed milk and fruit have gone up at a similar rate, and even the price of the edible clay has risen over the past year by almost $1.50. Dirt to make 100 cookies now costs $5, the cookie makers say.
Imagine if our food went up 20% in a month or two. Are we headed for that?
Food prices around the world have spiked because of higher oil prices, needed for fertilizer, irrigation and transportation. Prices for basic ingredients such as corn and wheat are also up sharply, and the increasing global demand for biofuels is pressuring food markets as well.
GROWING OUR FUEL IS NOT GOING TO WORK, PERIOD. | agronomy |

Those participating in the training were Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Xuan Ba – Head of Department of Animal Husbandry; Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry, Mr Khanh, Chairman of Hearts For Hue, Mr. Ho Van Khuech – Chairman of Hong Trung People’s Committee and 20 Agent Orange families.
At the beginning of the training, Mr.Ba made a quick discussion to all participants about their pig raising situations currently. Most of them have had some basic raising skills, it helped the training be carried out more easily. However, there was still some important knowledge below be emphasized :
-The criterion of a qualified pig shelter and the hog trough
– Sources of nutritious food for pigs
– The standard of a healthy pig
– How to take care of the pig in their stage of pregnancy
– Treatments for pig diseases
Also, Mr Ba analyzed the drawbacks of people during their pig raising process and change their viewpoints after that with the main purpose is to help them have a better understanding of what they were doing. At the end of the training, Mr.Ba reminded them to do their own pig raising process properly and effectively based on the training session. All the participants were very happy to gain more raising skills which improve their cattle raising practices in the mountain areas.

On November 17th, Thursday, will take place in Maputo the hybrid event “Renewables for Industry and Agriculture in Mozambique”.
Given the challenges faced by the agricultural and industrial sector regarding energy access, renewable energies are the solution to contribute and boost the reliability, profitability and sustainability of agricultural and industrial projects. In a country like Mozambique, with an advanced market for the supply of renewable energies, it is necessary to raise awareness and inform professionals in the agricultural and industrial sector about the benefits that they can obtain from renewables.
In this context, the event “Renewables for Industry and Agriculture in Mozambique” is the starting point to clarify the technical and financial concepts of renewable energy projects, raise awareness and provide more information about energy access opportunities, increase demand of renewable energies by the industrial and agricultural sectors, promote investment and financing for the private sector, disseminating lines of credit and other mechanisms of assistance to the financing of projects.
This event will be simultaneously transmited online, and offers the opportunity for companies and investors to present their products and services to the agricultural and industrial sector.
For this purpose, several pitch sessions will be held during this day, complemented by networking opportunities for all the participants. More than 100 participants are expected to participate, from which companies, investors and target audiences from the agricultural and industrial sector have the unique opportunity to come together to establish dialogues and ensure a fruitful exchange of benefits of renewable energies for the agricultural and industrial sector.

Once harvested, plants can lose significant amounts of their remaining nutritional value during cold storage and transport: Some vegetables can lose up to 50% of their Vitamin C during this time period.
Our balcony and roof top kits grown in water doused with the optimal nutrient mixture, meaning that every plant can grow in an ideal environment.
You will typically harvest and consume the produce within the same day. So you get the benefit of fresh produce that is not only nutritionally rich, but available all year round at a consistent quality.
With the growing awareness about safe food and its associated advantages, end-users are willing to pay a higher cost. Hydroponic yields are filled with nutrients.
Labour intensive work such as tilling, cultivating, fumigation, and watering is not required for hydroponic farming. We automate the entire farm.
Hydroponics is not dependent on the fertility of the soil and therefore can be used to grow fruits, vegetables, etc all year round
Using hydroponics over conventional agricultural practices can give as much as 100% more yields. Several layers of growing racks can be stacked one over the other

Pollinators such as bees, that pollinate nuts, fruits and vegetables, are directly or indirectly responsible for a significant part of the world’s crop production. The decline of pollinators can impact future food production capabilities. Therefore the diminishing bee population is a serious concern. Bees have diminished drastically in recent years due to a variety of factors including pesticides, diseases and habitat degradation resulting in a loss of genetic diversity.

Biodiversity is our earth’s life support system. It strengthens ecosystems that supply us with oxygen, clean air and water, animals and insects for plant pollination, natural pest control, resources and habitat.
Biodiversity does more than simply meet our necessities for survival. It can help to minimise the risk during devastating events. For example, species extinction risk during bushfires could be minimised if an ecosystem is balanced and diverse which can help it recover. Biodiversity also helps us to maintain food supply by encouraging healthy soil that is nutrient-rich. Diverse habitats create healthy soil that allows our produce to grow. This is why it is important for healthy habitats to be maintained for the circle of life to continue sustainably.
When we think about a typical farm, we think of vast barren grazing pastures dotted with the odd eucalypt over rolling hills or flat plains. While there has been a historical desire to turn dense bushland into irrigated pastures to feed increasing heads of cattle as an example, modern farmers are looking to natural farming methods and incorporating Agroforestry into their farming models. By doing so farmers can encourage biodiversity, soil fertility, manage salinity and provide shelter belts for livestock and crops.
Farmers are planting more trees these days than ever. Further, some farmers have or are considering the benefits of revenue-producing trees as an added enterprise to their Agroforestry ambitions. If extra revenue can be made by establishing oil-producing shelter belts or salinity and fertility management systems - that’s a win for the producer. And for us oil enthusiasts.
Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a process called photosynthesis, which is how plants get their energy to grow and survive. The carbon that the plants capture is then branches, stems, leaves, bark and roots.
The CSIRO make use of plants’ carbon-storing ability with a carbon farming program that presents landowners with carbon credits for tree lots planted on their pastures. The credits are a viable source of income for struggling farmers.
Some plantations were chosen to suit the area but also had a surprising potential outside of 10-20 years of carbon capture. Much like our Eucalyptus Blue Mallee, these trees had a dual purpose in life. Trees that serve the function of capturing carbon as they grow and producing essential oils in their leaves that can be used as a substitute for synthetic chemicals in wellness and health solutions are trees that we love the most.
It may seem contrary that harvesting can be good for carbon sequestration, but this is because growing trees capture more carbon than older trees. As trees work hardest as they are growing, a carbon captured tree when harvested at coppicing level allows the tree to repeat this process again and again with each cycle.
This is why we are dedicated to planting one tree for every order we ship from our store. A large portion of our trees are planted on farms for essential oil production allowing the beautiful synergy of carbon capture, biodiversity management AND essential oil production to be at the forefront of the farming model evolution.
There are stretches of land and parcels of native bush that deserve just as much attention as the farm. These are areas that have been heavily forested or mismanaged and have thus seen a decline in biodiversity, loss of crucial habitats and native wildlife.
We can’t be everywhere and plant every tree so we rely upon organisations that have the ability to get out there and do this for us. They’re doing it already and we love supporting their efforts. One such organisation is Carbon Neutral. Established over 20 years ago, it was behind the creation of Australia’s very first online carbon calculator. This team has now planted over 30 million trees. 30 million! We at earthYARD were so impressed at their desire and ability to make a difference that we chose to partner with Carbon Neutral to help us reach our vision of a cleaner, greener planet earth.
One such area that Carbon Neutral focuses on is a massive project that commenced back in 2008, the Yarra Yarra Corridor. The Yarra Yarra is a region of south western Australia that stretches 200km inland to the coast south of Perth. This is an area that was heavily forested in the 1900s to provide for grazing and farming land. In doing so over 90% of native vegetation and wildlife was removed.
Carbon Neutral are restoring this area and simultaneously delivering environmental, social, economic and heritage benefits. The process of reforesting this corridor with native vegetation carefully selected to improve the local ecosystem and biodiversity has seen the return of wildlife to the area and a massive reduction in carbon in the atmosphere.
earthYARD will continue to support the efforts of Carbon Neutral in their ambition to complete the 200km corridor as well as support and participate in projects they wish to undertake around Australia in the future.
Further, earthYARD encourages farmers around Australia to consider their options for Agroforestry enterprises with essential oil production from native trees being at the top of our list of recommendations. We want to see more producers launching here in Australia and if buying and planting seedlings that turn into critical inhabitants on rural properties is the way to help this along, that’s what we aim to do.
We can’t do everything to counter climate change and reduce global carbon output but we CAN plant one tree for every order shipped. You’ll notice our One Good Thing metre at the bottom of our homepage. This counts every order we’ve shipped so far, and therefore every tree we’ve planted either through the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Offset Program or through our own efforts on farms around Australia.

Published February 19, 2019
Most cats go crazy for catnip. Why? Catnip contains nepetalactone, which stimulates sensory neurons and causes them to act strangely by rolling around, vocalizing, and rubbing themselves on the plant. The effects are harmless and only last for a short time. Some cats do not respond to catnip−the response is genetic−an estimated 20% of cats are not affected. Young kittens do not respond to catnip until they reach sexual maturity.
“Catnip is a known favorite, natural treat for cats, which many cat lovers grow in their garden, says Joan Casanova, spokeswoman for Bonnie Plants, “It’s also a member of the mint family and can be used to prepare an herbal tea that is said to possibly relieve minor headaches.”
Follow these simple steps, courtesy of Bonnie Plants, to grow your own catnip:
- Set out plants after the last frost of the season.
- Space them at least 18 inches apart.
- For best results, use premium garden soil and potting mix.
- Keep plants full by pinching the growing stems and buds as they grow.
- The flowers will form seeds that sprout, you can plant those when they mature and create new plants. | agronomy |

The Good Food Box program is a bulk food buying program that offers fresh produce at a fraction of the retail price. The fresh produce is delivered to community depots throughout Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. The Healthy Kids Community Challenge Hastings & Prince Edward bought the bins as part of the Healthy Kids Community Challenge Theme 3 Choose to Boost Veggies and Fruit.
The Good Food Box program was looking for ways to support an increase in the program uptake. “These new bins will increase the capacity of the delivery truck by at least 30 percent because they allow for more efficient packing without compromising the integrity of the vegetables and fruit,” says Jim Mallabar, the local Good Food Box Coordinator. By increasing the capacity of the delivery truck, more good food boxes can be offered to community members without an increase to the program’s transportation costs. This will allow the program to continue to grow for the next few years.
Choose to Boost Veggies and Fruit theme is all about increasing the daily servings of vegetables and fruit for children and their families. Only one in ten Canadian youth are meeting the five servings of vegetables and fruit they should be eating everyday. The Good Food Box program is a valuable community resource to have fresh produce available at affordable prices.
The local Good Food Box program is over 20 years old and continues to grow. The CDC Quinte estimates the program started packing and delivering about 75 boxes each month. As of 2017, they are averaging 1200 boxes every month. The program offers a $15 large good food box for three or more people, a $10 small good food box for one to two people and a $5 fruit bag. These are ordered and delivered once every month and available from sixteen depots throughout Hastings and Prince Edward Counties. The CDC Quinte also offers Community Gardens, Community Kitchens and monthly Good Food Markets to help increase access to fresh produce throughout our communities.

The apples are sometimes nicknamed Yellow Galas.
Blondee® apples were discovered as a spontaneous mutation of gala apples in an orchard in Portsmouth, Ohio. The sport apples were noticed by McLaughlin Orchard owners Tom & Bob McLaughlin sometime around the year 2000. They were selected for their unusual coloring as they had a pale-yellow appearance, while their parent variety, the gala apple, was traditionally bright red.
Blondee® apples have had their greatest success among u-pick orchards throughout the “Apple Belt” of Michigan. Also known as Michigan’s “Fruit Belt,” the region is comprised of a narrow stretch of land along the western state border that has a temperate climate due to Lake Michigan moderating weather extremes. The Fruit Belt also receives enough rainfall to maintain the region’s fertile soil composition, and over time, the state has developed this area into a site for agrotourism, where visitors can tour farms, purchase fruit, and participate in food-themed events. The region was given this nickname in the late 1800s, and throughout the 1900s, several billboards were promoting the famous belt, and farm stands were established along the roadways to sell fruit to passing motorists.
In the present day, Blondee® apples are grown in many of the orchards throughout the Fruit Belt, and the variety is favored for its long ripening period. Blondee® apples can remain on the tree for at least 2 to 3 weeks and are the only yellow variety to ripen during the early season, creating a pleasant visual contrast on the apple trees. Many of the u-pick orchards have commented that visitors select Blondee® apples for their unique appearance, and the apples have become the second most popular u-pick apple, just behind honeycrisp. | agronomy |

Now they’re milking a small herd again on an organic platform of their Nelson farm to produce a range of dairy products that encompasses cheeses, yoghurt, butter and good old-fashioned double cream.
They’d climbed their way up the dairy ladder, sharemilking near Opotiki before joining the southern migration to sharemilk larger herds, settling in Canterbury to milk 1000 cows for Tasman Agriculture. When that farm was put on the market, it pushed them to make the next step into farm ownership.
That was 11 years ago when farm prices rocketed and any farm in Canterbury with water was out of their price range. So they looked outside the square and jumped on a small plane to check out a farm in the remote hinterland of Nelson. Tucked away in the Wangapeka valley, an hour’s drive west of Nelson against the Kahurangi National Park was a 971ha block of land that immediately appealed.
A wide river plain spreads over 240ha and rises to another terrace before the land climbs steeply up the foothills of the mountain range beyond. Regenerating bush covers about 400ha along the tops and is now set aside for carbon credits with a commission-based manager appointed to oversee the “minefield” of this latest industry.
They’d bought their dream farm, but sheep and beef couldn’t support their mortgage, so they converted the flats into dairying, installing a 50-bail rotary to milk 600 cows.
It wasn’t the easiest time to convert to dairying, with payout around $4 a kilogram. Buying shares cost them more than they were earning from the payout for three years but it was still the best option to get them ahead.
For eight years they milked cows on the farm until the big spike in payout lifted cow prices to make it financially possible for them to replace the cows with sheep and beef. The rotary that they had cost them $370,000 was sold for $220,000 to a dairy operation further south and the concrete yard was turned into cattle yards for the bull beef operation that took over the river flats.
“Dairy farming was good to us,” reflects Daryl. “We couldn’t have owned this farm if it hadn’t been for dairying and wouldn’t be farming sheep and beef here now.”
Today they run 1850 breeding ewes, 700 hoggets and about 660 cattle that are mainly Friesian bulls ranging from calves through to two-year-olds that are sold on contract through CMP.
Then two years ago, Karen mooted the idea of running a small herd of dairy cows again to produce a range of dairy products on the farm. She admits she had a bit of a battle on her hands to take over some of the best paddocks.
“I’ve always been really passionate about organic farming and always farmed holistically with dairy farming,” explains Karen. “Then I became involved with cheese courses and it spiralled from there.”
It began with a few cows to produce wholesome products for their own use and following a regime that stepped back 50 years to a time when every cow had a name and each one was in top health.
“It’s a whole different concept to when you’re milking for a big corporate. We’re not production driven; we’re quality driven.”
She’s now milking about 25 cows at any one time, within a herd of 80, enabling her to milk throughout the year and spell cows for about four months before calving. The first calves arrive in March and it continues through to late spring, with nurse cows taking on many of the calves and the remainder sharemilked on the cows.
Cows are just milked once a day through the new five-cow dairy, with milk heading into a petite vat before being transported down the road to the converted commercial kitchen in a 100-plus-year-old farm cottage.
It’s here that experimentation has produced an ever-increasing range of dairy products under the name of Wangapeka Downs, with more products on the list when time and milk allows down the track. So far, with assistance from family and a local employee, Karen has created feta, camembert and brie, Cheshire, mozzarella, haloumi and parmesan in the cheese line, plus double cream, a thick Greek-style yoghurt, butter and its clarified form, ghee, as well as buttermilk.
Everything is as pure and simple as possible, with the only ingredients in the yoghurt being milk and enzymes that is then strained through muslin to remove the whey and leave it thick and creamy. Butter is solely full cream, while the double cream is just that – thick, heavy cream to be scooped out of a tub rather than poured.
The only thing she regrets having to do to the products is pasteurise the milk which kills off the good bugs as well as the baddies, but it is a requirement for all milk products sold within New Zealand.
Food and safety is crucial with milk products though and early on, Karen enlisted Christchurch consultant, Rod Finch, to write the necessary documents to govern the dairy and commercial kitchen. Compared with the one audit a year for a farm dairy, Karen faces up to six audits a year that add up to about $10,000.
Though still establishing itself as a business, Wangapeka Downs has already enjoyed success when it was runner-up in the dairy section of this year’s Farmers’ Market Taste Awards.
Most of the interest for her dairy products has been via word of mouth and part of that she attributes to Nelson’s environmentally-aware community who want wholesome, local products and want to know its origins.
“They like to know how you treat your cows and so it’s generated an interest in a tiny niche market.
“The global market doesn’t dictate to me – it’s building a market within our own community.”
Selling organic produce from the farm extends beyond dairy products, with about five percent of their lambs farmed on another organic platform and slaughtered at Harris Meats in Cheviot. The carcases are returned in their various cuts to be sold locally.
“Eventually we’d like to be all organic for the domestic market but you have to be (financially) sustainable on the way.”
The organic platform for the dairy and lambs was only established two years ago and the cows have come from conventional herds, so Karen expects the herd to become easier to farm organically as they select from progeny born on the farm.
Likewise, the paddocks with their mix of chicory and herbs in the pasture, as well as the microbial ingredient in the organic fertiliser to encourage worms, are still evolving.
“You’re giving something and getting something. Giving back to the land and animal welfare while getting more nutritional value and flavour in the end product to give to the consumer.”

This is quite worrying given that the herb is often sold as being a therapeutic substance. Below are a few healthy options to the harmful chemicals found in unnatural pesticides.
The role of pesticides in agriculture, such as the cultivation of cannabis pest management plan, is always to control insect populations that may have detrimental effects on the health of plants and the success of their yields. Pesticides sound like a positive concept theoretically – chemicals that decrease the damage performed to crops that feed and nourish us.
However, once we dig a bit deeper, it might be clear that lots of synthetic pesticides are created by massive corporations so that you can turn a profit. What’s more is that a number of these commercial pesticides have catastrophic effects on human health. Along with causing significant injury to the environment, synthetic pesticides used on food and weed contain chemicals that can inevitably end up in the human body. When these chemicals enter our system, they are likely stored inside the colon where they can do some real damage.
Many reports have been conducted on pesticides and worryingly enough, connections have been made between pesticides and serious health issues like cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, ADHD and birth defects. Further studies suggest that pesticides could even detrimentally change the nervous, reproductive and endocrine systems.
Food is indeed a major vehicle by which pesticides go into the body. However, in the event you smoke pesticide-containing weed, you may be interested to find out it works as a vessel for pesticides to enter the bloodstream and therefore, cells and tissues.
Way back in 2009, the Los Angeles city attorney’s office tested a total of three samples of medical cannabis from dispensaries within the local vicinity. They found that two from the three samples contained high amounts of a pesticide referred to as bifenthrin. In reality, the samples contained shockingly high concentrations of the substance. One of many samples swlhkj had 1600 times the legal digestible level of Bifenthrin! To say that these particular strains could be considered medical is worrying at best.
A scientific paper titled Determination of Pesticide Residues in Cannabis Smoke published within the Journal of Toxicology held the intention of investigating the extent which cannabis consumers were in contact with pesticides in smoke.
The authors of the study suggest that “Recoveries of residues were as much as 69.5% depending on the device used as well as the component investigated, suggesting that the chance of pesticide and chemical residue exposure to cannabis users is substantial and could pose a significant toxicological threat in the lack of adequate regulatory framework.” The researchers then discuss in further detail how chemical residue seen in cannabis inevitably finds its way into your body. | agronomy |

2) Choose The Right Location
The second tip to grow vine vegetables is to select a sunny spot. Vining vegetables thrive in full sunlight, so pick a spot that receives 6-8 hours of sunlight every day. It’s like giving your plants daily energy for robust growth and fruitful results.
3) Prepare The Soil For Vine Vegetables
The third tips to grow vine vegetables is to prepare the soil. Treat your vining vegetable plants to a nutrient-rich soil feast. Add compost or well-rotted cow dung manure to create a welcoming environment that nurtures their roots and encourages healthy growth. You can also start planting vining vegetables with a ready-to-use potting soil mixture, there is no need to add any compost after using it.
4) Consider The Right Size Grow Bags
Choosing the right grow bag or pot size for growing vine plants is important for their health and productivity. Here are some common guidelines:
- Small Vines (Peas): Choose to grow bag sizes of 9 to 12 inches deep and wide.
- Medium Vines (Cucumbers, Beans, Small Melons): A grow bag size of 12 to 18 inches wide and deep is best suited for planting them.
- Large Vines (Pumpkins, Larger Melons): To plant larger vines, choose a grow bag 18 to 24 inches wide and deep.
5) Select The Best Supports
Supports are an important supply for growing vine vegetables in pots or in the ground. Install trellises, stakes, creeper nets, or cages based on their individual needs. By providing them with the right support, you’ll empower them to reach new heights without getting in each other’s way. Take the time to assess each vine plant’s unique requirements and choose the best type of support to help it thrive.
6) Space Vine Plants Properly
Maintaining the proper distance between vine plants is another important trick or tip to grow vine vegetables in pots. Just like humans, plants need their personal space. Follow recommended spacing guidelines to avoid any garden quarrels. Good spacing not only prevents competition but also ensures good air circulation to keep diseases away.
7) Go For Companion Planting
The seventh tip to growing trellising or vining vegetable plants is to plant companion plants. Transform your home garden into a thriving ecosystem by planting companion flowers. With the addition of marigolds, nasturtiums, or basil, not only will you add beauty and charm, but also deter pests naturally.
8) Water And Mulch
Vining vegetable plants like lots of water, so water them deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells. Spread an organic mulch around them to keep the soil moist, suppress weeds, and maintain a comfortable temperature.
9) Pick At The Proper Time
The last growing tips of vine plants is to harvest them on time. Cutting your vining vegetables at the right time is like enjoying the fruits of your labor. Regularly pluck the ripe vegetables to keep the plant thriving and producing throughout the growing season.

The singular is marañón (mah-rah-NYON). It's a sure sign that semana santa (Easter week) is upon us when the pungent smell of cashew fruit permeates the air! Many people don't know that the roasted marañón is a fruit seed, not a nut. The fruit looks like a red bell pepper and is redish yellow in color. The cashew seed hangs in a pod on the outside of the fruit. You can eat both, but you have to remove the seed from the husk and roast it before eating. The fruit part is ready to go from the tree!
Pajaros (birds), loras (parrots), ardillas (squirrels), abejas (bees), avispas (wasps), garobos (iguanas) and pericos (parakeets) all go nuts (yes, it's a pun) this time of year when the marañón trees, branches heavily laden with ripened fruit, start emitting the irresistible smell that draws them all by the dozens. The fruit has a distinctive, pungent sweet/sour aroma that can be smelled for meters around the trees - especially when they fall to the ground and begin to rot and ferment. Many people don't really like the smell. But I do. I eat the fruit like an apple, though it's much softer, especially when it's really ripe. I usually need to take a shower after eating one, as the juice drips everywhere.
The smell of roasting marañónes (the seed part) is one of the richest, hunger inducing aromas in the tropics. It's pure Costa Rica for me. Vendors sell bags of them in different sizes on the beach and in town. Aproned, Nicaraguan women balance pallets of the neatly stacked and sorted bags on their heads as they walk the sand and streets selling them. They're everywhere right now and the prices are low.
To the marañón! One of the best "two-fers" nature has to offer!

1 bunch beets
2 sugar pie pumpkins
1 bunch carrots
1 bunch kale
1 bulb fennel
As seen in the last photo of the Halloween post, those little sugar pie pumpkins were not eaten, but rather used for decoration. I drew little faces on them, and actually they’re still out there. I like them. Also seen in that post is that all 7 apples went into yet another apple pie! I enjoyed tasting the difference between the Rome apples this time and the Granny Smith last time.
Carrots and pears were raw snacks. Beets got roasted and kale got chipped.
I also harvested about 18 pomegranates off our tree! I took the seeds out of 6 of them, and sent the rest to Apple where many of Eric’s coworkers were thrilled to take them.
That is what 6 pomegranates worth of seeds look like.
This is what the juice looks like! Yum yum. I did add a little water and sugar to it to make it more palatable, but that’s a nice half glass of juice! And only 6 poms, hahaha.
That’s it for now. | agronomy |

At Geeveston Primary School, we are actively involved in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program. This program aims to provide positive and memorable food experiences to school children by teaching them how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal food.
The program is run in a variety of school settings across Australia. It is designed to be fully integrated into the school curriculum as it offers possibilities to reinforce literacy, numeracy, science, cultural studies and all aspects of environmental sustainability.
Our kitchen garden provides many ingredients for our cooking and food creations. The students are involved in caring for the garden with planned, supervised lessons every week. Planting, weeding and watering the gardens is part of the responsibility shared by the students. Learning about seasonal growth and observing changes in the garden, provide our students with practical, lifelong knowledge of the environment. In addition to growing the food, the students are assigned the task of harvesting and preparing what they grow. Our teaching kitchen at Geeveston Primary School allows for weekly cooking classes in which the students prepare fresh meals using produce from the garden. We then share our meals with each other and the staff. | agronomy |

You might in addition think the fact that there is minor intent to fertilize waste materials if an individual don’t have a great lawn or backyard to utilize the compost in, nevertheless this approach is merely not true.
Recycling house debris is essential for a lot of explanations. Decomposing had gain the atmosphere, by adjusting organic waste into a beneficial end-product (”compost”). This likewise helps decrease the demand on landfills and can even lessen your own personal garbage collection bill. Even though you will never possess a yard or garden to use the fertilizer which you develop in, you will likely come with pals and neighbors who would certainly welcome the compost in theirs. And if you possess houseplants, you must surely look at employing the compost on all of them – the benefits will be fantastic.
Yet what should a person perform if an individual usually do not have a large area to create a compost pile or location large composting bins? Luckily generally there are several smaller composting packing containers currently accessible that can simply fit into a modest yard or perhaps on a outdoor patio. Most of the bins are tumbling decomposing containers, which mean that you spin them everyday which in turn speeds up the decomposing method.
Most of these containers also carry out a good job of keeping the composting material included, out of sight, and managing any scents that could occur. Right now there are a lot of great reasons to compost your own organic debris and condo dwellers will not have got to stop trying on the decomposing method.
Even if you will not have a small decomposing trash can or desire to purchase one, you should check with your local city hall to observe if the city you live in will compost your waste materials for you. Some cities are now even supplying special bins similar to popular recycling bins for collecting organic waste.
Best Compost tumblers in UK
A compost tumbler can be very good appliance for making compost. It is nothing but a sealed container that can be rotated for mixing the composting materials. There are different types of compost tumblers available in UK, but you need to choose the right one for your need. Compost tumblers spare the gardener one of the most arduous tasks in composting – ‘turning’ the compost pile. A decent tumbler makes turning easier, but if you want compost quickly and are happy to do the work, it appears that you might as well stick with a standard compost heap or bin, as long as it’s easy to access the compost to turn it. The organic materials are broken down, as in the compost heap method, by zillions of microbes and other living organisms fueled by oxygen. One of the reasons compost piles are slow is that the microbes do not get enough air. This is usually done with a pitchfork in open compost bins and compost piles where there is room to wield the tool.
- It’s considerably cheaper and gives you more exercise.
- To keep the process going at its fastest clip, the tumbler is turned twice or three times a week, mixing the microbes with the organic material while infusing fresh supplies of oxygen.
- By mixing up the ingredients more frequently, more air is introduced and the composting process heats up and matures faster.
- Turning the pile is done to speed up the composting process by providing aeration and by mixing the hot composting material with materials recently added, as this introduces microbial activity to help break down the fresh materials.
- Of course, lots of us don’t turn compost weekly and wait considerably longer than 14 weeks for it, so cutting the time it takes to make compost may appeal.
The tumbler keeps the materials contained, as well as the heat the process generates. This is certainly sound science. A compost pile requires plenty of water for the microbes to survive. Worm composting, known as vermicomposting, is a process in which red wiggler earthworms (Elsenia fetida) eat organic waste and “replace it” with droppings known as worm casts, an exceptionally rich soil conditioner for plants. In a month or so — or even less with diligent practice and the right tumbler!
Compact Compost Tumbler Makes Compost in 14 Days If you’re looking for a fast, convenient way to compost your kitchen throw-outs, grass clippings, and organic yard waste, our Compact Compost Tumbler is just right for you! The Compost Tumbler is perfect for turning smaller amounts of yard, garden and kitchen throw-outs into finished compost in just 14 days. All you have to do it load it, give it a few spins every day for 2 weeks and in just 14 days you can take out your finished compost!
What is important to understand in this study is that the tumblers and the piles were turned at the same frequency. However, too much water will reduce air circulation and flood the pile. The biggest advantage of worm composting bins is that they can be used year-round indoors or out, and can compost kitchen waste and scraps. Composting comes from an age-old natural process and gained popularity from backyard gardeners and organic gardeners. If you turn your compost pile regularly it will perform just as well as the compost tumblers.
In general, compost should feel like a wrung out sponge (moist, but not sopping wet). As they eat, composting microbes produce plenty of heat, which raises the temperature of the pile and speeds decomposition. True to the law of supply and demand, growing interest resulted in the development of several different types of composting units. For one thing, the metal frame has wheels for easy transportation around the garden. If there’s a big enough pile of stuff, and it’s got sufficient air and moisture, it will produce heat. This is quite useful for when the compost is ready, allowing it to be easily dispersed throughout the garden as needed. Not only that, but the steel frame is rust-resistance, making it durable as well as strong!
Benefits of Composting With Worms?
Because vermicompost is what will save the earth from the damage mankind has done to it. This may sound like an overly broad-sweeping statement, but if you examine the subject thoroughly, you will see why. The soil in which we grow our food and other plants affects the quality of those plants. The micro-organisms (all those tiny creatures you cannot see without a microscope) and larger living creatures that reside in the soil all impact their environment. They feed on each other as well as other things present in the soil and leave behind castings that are chemically broken down.
The roots of growing plants search for and suck up these chemical compounds with the aid of water present. The water is like the straw humans use to get food inside. The chemicals are the vitamins inside the liquid. Both moisture and the chemicals need to be present to enable the plant to survive. The type of compounds your plant is able to suck up and feed on is determined by what is present in the soil. If we want healthy and vigorous plants we must feed them the best food. And that is vermicompost.
What is the difference between vermicompost and compost from a composter?
Composters convert leaves, grass, kitchen waste and other organic natural materials into a nutrient-rich, loamy soil amendment that will feed your plants and change the texture of the soil so it will hold enough water and allow excess water to perculate out. The nutrients that are in compost may or may not be immediately available to the plant roots. It takes further breaking down of the material to make them available.
That is where the micro-organisms and worms come into the picture. They eat the compost and convert it to vermicompost, which is then available for the plant roots to use. Vermicompost is the final phase of the composting process. When we make vermicompost, we are creating a product that is going to feed the plants instantly; boosting their growing ability, health and production quicker. Plants respond quickly to the availablity of nutrients on the chemical compound level and it shows up in their growth and color.
Why Compost with Worms?
A composting worm bin system is an incredibly efficient and effective way to quickly convert your kitchen waste, cardboard, newspaper, junk mail, dried leaves and most other organic materials into the most nutrient rich compost for your plants, planters, flower beds and garden.
In nature, once-living material is slowly broken down into the nutrients that plants use. It is an ongoing process in nature’s food chain. You will see it happening if you leave the grass clippings on your lawn; they dry up and then sink down between the blades of the uncut grass. This is now called thatch. If you leave the thatch alone, the layer that is on the bottom, touching the soil will begin to compost, the micro-organisms in the soil will begin to work on it, eating it and converting it.
Those micro-organisms and larger creatures like worms, will only be able to work on the portion of that they can reach, which is why the bottom layer is what is composted first. As that layer is slowly process, the upper layers sink lower into contact with the soil and provide food for those micro-organisms, worms, etc. This entire process can take up to two years to complete. If you continue to cut the lawn and leave more clippings on it, the process will never be entirely finished, as it has new fresh material to work on.
We greatly speed up this natural process when we use a worm compost bin system to recycle the natural materials. We gather the material up, and place it where the worms can get to it much quicker and with many worms present, they go to work on it and quickly convert it in as little as one month, as compared to 2 years or more.
In full operation, a worm composter, which is called a vermicomposter, can house 10,000 to 12,000 worms. That is a lot of eating power. They can process up to 5 pounds of material every week. That would probably be all the junk mail and kitchen waste a household creates each week.
If every household in America maintained a vermicomposter just for junk mail, newspapers and kitchen waste, the impact on our waste disposal systems (dumps) would be phenomenal in scope. For decades, the way mankind exists on earth (on average), has moved so far away from allowing nature to take it’s natural course of recycling and replenishing the soil, we now have to make an effort to assist Mother Nature to bring back the balance needed to sustain her and us.
We also desire to live in areas that in the natural state do not provide for good gardening, like the desert states. Since people like to eat and garden, no matter where they live, we help nature along by providing the best materials needed to make it happen. Composting with worms is the most effective way to do that.
What kind of worms are used in worm composters?
Different worm species have different behavioral patterns. There are worms that live six feet underground, and worms that live in the ocean. The best worm to use in a worm composter is the red wriggler, or Eisenia fetida. Using worms that are going to be happy where you want to put them just makes good sense. The behavior of red wrigglers is perfect for the job we want them to do. They are very ferocious feeders, they reproduce quickly, and they move readily between the upper and lower layers, staying mostly at a certain level below the surface. Most of us have turned over a log or board and found worms on the surface. Once we move the board, the worms go underground because they do not like light. We are utilizing the natural behavior patterns of the red wriggler to our advantage in the worm factory bins. This is less stressful on the worms and makes it super easy to harvest the finished vermicompost.
Red wriggler worms are not best suited for in-ground gardens because they are very aggressive and may attack and consume regular earth worms and night crawlers. Keep them separated. If you are getting an overabundance of red wrigglers in your worm factory, move some of them into another worm factory, give some away to new owners of worm factories, sell them to fishermen as bait. | agronomy |

This is the time of year when you can feel Spring in the air, tantalisingly close, and I start to feel impatient for some warmer weather so I can get outside and start planting.
I have big plans for our little garden and am probably going to have to downscale a bit in order to fit everything in. The good thing about my experience of inner city container gardening is that I can use space effectively to cram as much green in as possible and I’ll certainly also be growing lots in pots. Most of my plants have survived the winter despite being hiked from a nicely sheltered patio garden to a blustery, exposed little plot which gets hit directly by the icy blasts that rush in from the Low Weald.
I’ve just had a couple of seed deliveries and will be setting up the seed trays before too long. It’s all very exciting!
Finally, incase you haven’t spotted the announcements elsewhere, Danielle will be hosting the February Blog Party on a topic which is close to all our hearts, ‘Gems from the Herbal Library’. All of us herby bloggers share a love of words as well as a love of nature so this promises to be a great topic and I’m sure we’ll all discover a new treasure to add to our collections. Read all about it in her post here.
As you can see, I’m not the only one who appreciates herb books in our household. | agronomy |

The way we tend our gardens and backyards can damage the health of our rivers and lakes.
Pesticides (insect and slug killers), herbicides (weed killers) and artificial fertilisers used in our gardens can all end up in our rivers and lakes, contaminating the water.
The use of peat compost is destroying peatlands, which are an essential part of a healthy planet; having taken thousands of years to form, they maintain water quality, help to regulate flow off the hills, lock up carbon from the atmosphere and are home to rare and vital habitat and wildlife.
Damaged peatlands result in murky ‘peaty’ water running off the hills into our rivers (which costs us more when water companies have to clean it before reaching our taps).
Peat acts as a massive sponge, soaking up excess rainfall and storing it in upland areas. If peat is dug up to be used for garden compost, that rain will instead rush down the hills into the valleys, increasing the risk of flooding downstream.
Peatlands help in the fight against global warming by storing carbon. When peat is destroyed, it releases its carbon stores - speeding up climate change.
You have the power to garden for Eden!
Scroll down for some tips to help you get started:
For Pete's sake, go peat free!
Switching is easy and good quality peat-free composts are just as, if not more, effective as those that contain peat. We love Eden-based Dalefoot Composts, who make their compost from sheep wool and bracken from the fells local to them (the RHS and many well-respected gardeners such as Monty Don also love them).
Be a savvy shopper:
Check the ingredients label to be sure it is 100% peat-free, as packaging can be deceptive - ‘environmentally-friendly’, ‘organic’ doesn’t mean peat-free. While a good quality peat-free compost may be a little more expensive kilogram for kilogram, the price reflects quality so overall you’re likely to get more beautiful blooms for your money. Find out more about peatlands and peat-free gardening from WWT.
If your local garden centre doesn’t sell 100% peat-free compost yet, then be brave and ask them why not – if gardeners demand it, they will sell it.
Question your garden centre if the plants they sell are potted in peat compost.
Why not try a plant swap with friends instead of buying?
Keep your outdoor spaces safe for children, pets and wildlife by going chemical-free. Chemical pesticides and herbicides are designed to kill and they all contain hazardous substances. The Wildlife Trusts and Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) have some tips on gardening organically and other ways to keep pests at bay.
Be a savvy shopper:
Look carefully at the ingredients in your weedkiller and research whether it could be harmful to humans/wildlife.
Pick plants that are naturally more pest-resistant.
How does your garden grow
Look after your garden soil because healthy soils grow better plants. Soils with plenty of free drainage (thanks to good root growth and the humble earthworm) retain more water, reducing the need for watering. Soil is a ‘living’ aerobic environment and a ‘good’ soil is 45% mineral, 25% water, 25% air and 5% organic matter.
Use of artificial fertilisers can actually be bad for your soil health, and too much can leach or wash into rivers and cause pollution.
Use natural soil conditioners such as leaf mulch, bark chippings, well-rotted organic manure, coir (from coconuts), green manure, make your own liquid feed from comfrey or nettles, organic chicken manure can also be a useful addition. Natural Grower is just one company that sells petrochemical-free, vegan, organic natural fertilisers and soil conditioners.
Be a savvy shopper:
Some organic fertilisers contain fish blood and bone, which it is best to avoid to ensure our seafood remains sustainable - see our promise, Eat sustainable seafood.
Save water and look after your soil by watering with the right amount at the right time of day.
Instead of reaching for the garden tap, collect rainwater and reuse water from the home (e.g. the water that gets wasted as you wait for the hot water to come through).
Why not get a water butt from United Utilities and use the clean rainwater to water your garden?
The Guardian newspaper has some handy tips for saving water in the garden.
Project: make your own compost
To get you started, Westmorland and Furness Council has a guide to composting that's worth reading that covers how to set up your compost bin, what to put in it and how to troubleshoot some common problems you may encounter.
The main thing you need is something to hold your rotting waste as it forms compost.
If you live in Cumbria, you can get one for a low price. Recycle Cumbria has all the details on how to order one. They also have heavily-subsidised food waste digesters on offer as well.

We want to support the growth of the West Georgia food economy and create a culture shift to bring local farming back into our community.
- The Lat. 33° East Food Hub initiative is focused on rural communities here in the South that have the potential to reinvigorate their economy by re-focusing on their lost resource – the farms!
- Increase market access for local farmers
- Complement and add value to current food distribution
- Have a significant economic, social, and environmental impacts within the community
- Greater access to local products for consumers, including those underserved areas where there is lack of healthy, fresh food
- Provide assistance to producers in such areas as production planning, season extension, sustainable production practices, food safety, and post-harvest handling
- What do our farmers do? Well, here it is better than we can say it:
Paul Harvey ‘So God Made a Farmer Speech’ to the FFA
Too many or too ugly?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the fresh produce market of today
demands standard sizing and unblemished product. The canned and frozen market on the other hand is not so particular. The amount that gets left out in the field to rot because it has some damage is more lost potential income when all it needs is a careful eye and a target market. Several food hubs see processing as a potential way to use “seconds,” reducing waste and increasing revenue for producers.
See what has been done in Europe to reduce the waste of the “Inglorious Fruits & Vegetables”.
To grow enough is to grow more than you need. The Food Hub network includes commercial kitchens which serve as processing centers to preserve excess or cosmetically damaged produce. Value added products – sauces, jams and juices and even prepared meals – offer profit potential for produce that would have been lost. These products often create more profit than selling the produce fresh and can be marketed throughout the year.
Reducing Food Miles
Reducing Food Miles A plant and a mouth are separated by distance… food miles equals food dollars. Local is a matter of degree. A local food hub allows farmers to save on labor, gas, and vehicle wear and tear. The cooperation between growers, suppliers, retailers, and wholesalers through a community food hub provides consumers a wider variety on the shelves and a more efficient shopping trip.
Our Goals at Lat. 33° East
- Streamline small farm operations, keeping the farmer’s eye on the farm
- Healthier eating habits for customers
- Reconnect people with their food and their community
- Value added products – sauces, jams and juices and even prepared meals – offer off-season access to local produce and convenience to the consumer
- Recycling packaging and compost can help reduce the amount of waste and reduce the costs for its members | agronomy |

They have been planted by Greenwich’s Meantime Brewery which claims it to be “the first permanent hop farm in London in over 100 years”.
The harvesting, or hopping, gathered 9lbs of hop buds for the yet to be named brew being produced at Meantime’s Old Brewery in Greenwich.
The hops, growing just yards west of the Greenwich Meridian line, can be seen immediately downstream of the drawdock next to the O2.

We picked up 1,064 pounds of fresh vegetables and fruit, bread and bakery items and packaged fruit and other essentials and delivered them all over town. The Hastings Library was the main distribution point and they did a fabulous job of getting the word and the food out. After delivering it around 2:30, the cupboards were bare by 4:30. Only a few bananas remained at the end of the day. The cost of the food distributed? $2,234.40 if we had to buy it at the store. The cost to deliver to families who could really use it… not a penny. Thank you Hastings Library staff for a job well done!

The selection of plants for the customer is always dependent on the order of the date the orders are received, the first ordering customer always gets the biggest and best quality plants. All plants are sourced exclusively from our own nursery and are all grown primarily from sowings or from specially selected clones of the top forms and traits for the species on offer.
With our special grafting technique on these hardy Myrtillocactus rootstocks, which come from the northern edge of their range, where temperatures often drop to 0 degrees Celsius at night, they will withstand the cold winter in your grow room without any problems. Robins are matured by always applying predominant phosphorus, potassium, silicon and minerals and also always have a topical application of full systemic fungicide and insecticide protection against all types of diseases and pests. The rootstocks used have a body diameter in section of 3,00 cm – 5,00 cm, but are very short, only up to a height of 4,00 cm – 4,50 cm they have a maximum in height, for the customer our grafted plants, already prepared for eventual embedding in the substrate, for a compact appearance and our grafted plants are then almost indistinguishable from true-rooted plants.

By Laz IBEABUCHI
LAGOS-The Executive Director, Corporate, Investment Banking, and Treasury of Union Bank of Nigeria PLC, Mr. Philip Ikeazor has called for the collaboration of Nigerian farmers and International Crop Research Institute for the Semi Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in the use of watershed irrigation technique in the production of groundnuts for export.
He made this call recently in India at the Governing Board Meeting of ICRISAT where he has been its member in the last six years. Mr. Ikeazor will complete his tenure of the international agency in July this year.
Speaking on the future of Agriculture in Nigeria, Ikeazor said:” last six years with ICRISAT has nurtured my belief that agriculture is one of the most potent ways to alleviate poverty and create significant income streams for the poor people of the semi-arid tropics”.
He believes that the giant strides and impact made by ICRISAT’s research work on the peasant farmers in India and East Africa and some parts of West Africa would work in Nigeria. Ikeazor is particularly keen on transferring the watershed irrigation technique piloted in India and the recent Groundnut Revolution in Malawi, which had seen a thriving export of improved groundnut to the United Kingdom.
Recalling how Nigeria was once the world’s leading groundnut exporters in the 1960s with the crop accounting for about 70% of the country’s total export earnings, Ikeazor stressed that by working with farmers to grow improved varieties of groundnuts with more resistant to disease, export market demands, and better aflatoxin management to prevent contamination, Nigerian farmers would significantly boost groundnut production and sales. He added that this would create employment and yield significant income for peasant farmers especially in the Northern and the South Western part of the country.
He expressed optimism that with ICRISAT’s reopening of its research office in Kano, Nigeria needs to support the existing bilateral agreement in order to reinstate the country’s former groundnut pyramids.
Ikeazor will be handing over his board membership to Oluwande Muoyo, a chartered accountant, professional banker and currently the Commissioner for Budget and Planning in Ogun State. | agronomy |

It is short plump grain, and when cooked, it has a creamy texture and absorbs more liquid than other rices thus requiring additional liquid to be added throughout the cooking period. It is used primarily in the Italian dish, risotto which often reflects the seasons. In spring use baby vegetables, in Summer, tomato and basil, in Autumn, wild mushrooms and in Winter, seafood. Serve as an entree or side dish.

Microwave technologies of extraction (from pepper, wormwood, daisy) of toxic bio-components that are harmless to humans can be used as an alternative to chemical herbicides and pesticides. It is important to emphasise, that all these results can be achieved with significant acceleration of the processing cycle and energy saving.
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGIES
The results obtained by long-term research work, testing and evaluation create a firm basis for commercial solutions in all mentioned areas. However, one of the most promising applications is in the area of agriculture, where huge volume is complemented by environmental issues. Here, the microwave technology addresses major important issues and provides practical solutions that cannot sometimes be resolved by alternative technologies. For example, it can provide reconditioning of badly infected seeds, it can improve germinating capacity, it can accelerate the ripening cycle, and it can improve tolerance for drought through the development of stronger roots. All these factors in the end lead to the harvest yield growth. Considering its capability to reduce application of chemical herbicides and pesticides the microwave solution may become a basis for the modern organic agricultu
Agricultural productivity has always depended on many factors caused by weather, soil, pests, storage, etc. Certainly, not all these factors can be controlled, but those that can be controlled, are usually addressed by different technologies. Only recently an alternative technology emerged – Microwave Seed Pre-Treatment that was developed to handle in a generic way seemingly unrelated issues such as:
The major advantage of the developed technology is its cumulative effect that puts together seed disinfection and seed stimulation into a simple one-step process. More than12-yeasrs long research and commercial use have proved efficiency and flexibility of the microwave processing technology. It has been commercially used in different climatic zones of Ukraine and Russia. It can be applied to various agricultural products just by optimizing the process parameters and equipment settings. It is important to emphasize, that this technology targeting healthy food production and preserving ecological environment. It is flexible and can be easily adapted to local climatic zones in different countries and locally cultivated varieties of agricultural products.
yield stability in dry/cool climatic zones
The technology is based on fundamental biological researches that have been proven by long-term comprehensive tests. Microwave fields with properly selected parameters and application modes activate vital processes turning biological cells stronger and more resilient. More than 12-yeasrs long research carried out at Industrial Electronic Department of IIA (Ukraine) in collaboration with Agrarian Academy of Science (Ukraine) supported by more than 15 000 laboratory and field tests resulted in development of a versatile microwave unit that is reliable, safe and simple in operation and maintenance. It utilizes 2450 MHz frequency allocated for industrial use in many countries. The unit has a control panel to enter settings that correspond to different operating modes. Each mode is optimized for a specific type of seeds, weather conditions and climatic zones. The treated seeds can be kept stored packaged for up to 3-5 months before sowing without loosing the obtained qualities.
The personnel operating the unit require only basic skills and knowledge of safety procedures. Only a short training is needed before operation can be started. The unit has protection against user mistakes, overheating, or interruption in supply of seeds.
An experimental unit has also been developed to carry out applied research aiming adaptation of the technology to new climatic zones and countries.
The unit can process a wide range of seeds with the performance 900 – 2000 kg/h and can stay in operation continuously around the clock unless an operation mode needs to be changed, or a scheduled service is due. A process has been developed to determine optimal settings for any new variety of seeds, weather conditions, or new climatic zones. The optimized settings can than be applied to commercial scale seed pre-treatment to achieve the best productivity.
The results presented below are based upon nearly 15 000 experiments conducted on 50 crops cultivated in Ukraine and Russia, conducted by independent evaluators in 16 regions of Ukraine and Russia.
Harvest yield grows:
Wheat, rye, oat – up to 32%
Rice – up to 22%
Beans – up to 50%
Buck wheat – up to 36%
Sunflower – up to 28%
Soya beans – up to 28%
Rapeseeds – up to 51%
Vegetables – up to 29%
These evaluation results and test conditions are documented and proved by the evaluation certificates. The numbers show only generalized results for the best improvements registered.
More detailed results for six varieties of wheat cultivated in Ukraine are shown below
Harvest measured in metric centners per hectare.
Yellow –microwave pre-treated seeds used. Red – no microwave processing.
The results have been published in more than 120 scientific journal papers and articles in Ukraine and Russia. However, some interviews of those who uses microwave seed pre-treatment might be useful to illustrate commercial advantages of this technology.
" We started using this technology in 2002. Undoubtedly, the results were very impressive. In 2003, which was infamous for its drought, we gathered additional 159 tones of crops. In particular: soy by 20%, rye by 25% and rap-seeds by 33%. In 2004, we gathered additional 2165 tones, including 1150 tones of wheat and 1015 tones of rye. In 2005, we gathered additional 1653 tones. Thus, the total yield increase due to the use of microwave processing has been nearly 4 000 tones. I would like to stress, that besides this remarkable grows, our products have much better ecological purity."
Mr. Valery Lozian, Agrarian farm "Roskishna" (Ukraine)
"We agreed with the supplier on a trial run in 2003 to test efficiency of the technology on our fields. Wheat occupies nearly 75% of the area on our land and its yield critically affects our business. However, 2003 was very difficult in terms of climatic conditions and sowing seeds available were of poor quality. We processed some part of the seeds and compared the result against untreated seeds. The results exceeded our expectations. Germinating capacity of wheat Souz jumped from 82% to 92%; wheat Victoria from 84% to 95%.”
Mr. Vladimir Pankiev, Agrarian farm "Alex" (Ukraine)
Tolerance for Drought/Frost
Having been processed, crop vegetation process goes faster (by 10-12 days) producing well-developed roots before dry season starts in south-east Europe steppe region. Fast vegetation also increases resistance of crop to such weather abnormalities as spring frost
Wheat Donecka-48 affected by spring frost. 1- microwave processed seeds. 2-unprocessed seeds.
Suppression of Phytopathogenicies
Experiments indicate that microwave field may suppresses phytopathogenicies. Thus, the technology may exclude, or significantly reduce application of chemical pesticides.
Ecological Purity of Product
Microwave pre-processed seeds produce harvest containing on average 1.6 times less unhealthy subspaces ( pesticides, nitrates, nuclides, etc ) in comparison to harvest grown according to traditional technologies.
Microwave seed pre-treatment technology has been approved by The Ministry of Agriculture of Ukraine and Agrarian Academy of Science (2003).

Here are some photos of the garden(s) outside our home, a small brick house in the Gainesville “Student Ghetto” that has endured the torment of college students since 1929. No more.
With the knowledge, work and dedication of my former roommate Alex Mourant, we have turned a dull, dead landscape — front and back — into a flourishing and inviting space that is now the main attraction of our house.
Photos of Our Gainesville Garden
(Click on any photo to see an even more beautiful, high-resolution version.)
It all starts with the compost. We put our veggie scraps in a pile and mix them with dried leaves to produce a potent fertilizer that is black gold for our organic garden.
This is our corn bed in the back:
Tomatoes spontaneously germinated from the compost on our corn bed, so we let them stay. We also planted beans, to semi-mimic the “three sisters” companion planting method — Native Americans planted corn, beans and squash together. The beans climb the corn, and the squash (or in our case tomato) shades the soil.
These are probably cherry tomatoes in our corn bed:
More tomatoes next to our raised bed.
Trellised peas in front of our raised bed. If you just taste one of these peas off the vine, you will immediately understand one major benefit of growing your own food, the taste.
Some pots with basil, cilantro, tomato, and hot Czechoslovakian black pepper.
Alex adding freshly sifted compost to the front corn bed:
This is our front yard corn bed now, with beans and squash interspersed. I planted sunflowers in the old tire (pictured below) but volunteer tomatoes came up instead.
Beans climbing up a post in our side yard. Something is eating the leaves. :-/
Finally, this is our most recently planted bed, the Forget Me Not Plot, dedicated to my good friend and roommate Alex Mourant, who will soon depart to Fiji for a 27-month Peace Corps term. We planted a bunch of different seeds — including Forget Me Not flowers — in this plot and will let it flourish naturally, with little interference, in the spirit of Masanobu Fukuoka‘s ‘Do-Nothing Farming’ philosophy. | agronomy |

Many of the foods we eat today look very different than they did in the past. Corn, or maize, didn’t exist ten thousand years ago: it descended from a weedy grass with tiny hard-shelled seeds that we wouldn’t recognize as corn kernels. That wild ancestor of corn, teosinte, grew in mixtures of many other plants instead of in cornfields like today. Big changes between teosinte and corn that we can see aboveground lead us to think that there have been changes belowground, too. Plants form partnerships with bacteria and fungi to get nutrients that they need to grow. Scientists are finding that microbes near the roots of teosinte are different than microbes that live around corn roots. Understanding how corn’s microbe partners have changed can help us make corn varieties that are better for the environment. | agronomy |

Hydrangeas are stunning flowering shrubs that add beauty and elegance to any garden or landscape. With their large, showy blooms in various colors, hydrangeas have become a favorite among garden enthusiasts. However, taking care of these delicate plants requires some knowledge and attention. In this article, we will provide you with essential tips and guidelines for successful hydrangea care. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gardener, this guide will help you achieve thriving blooms and enjoy the beauty of hydrangeas all year round.
Choosing the Right Location for Hydrangeas
Choosing the right location for hydrangeas is crucial for their growth and blooming. These beautiful plants thrive in partial shade, so it's important to find a spot that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. Avoid planting them in full sun as it can cause the leaves to wilt and the flowers to fade quickly. Additionally, make sure the soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter. Hydrangeas prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. By selecting the perfect location, you'll ensure your hydrangeas have the best chance of thriving and producing stunning blooms.
Planting Hydrangeas: Step-by-Step Guide
1. Choose a suitable location for your hydrangeas. They prefer partial shade with morning sun and afternoon shade, but can also tolerate full sun in cooler climates.
2. Prepare the soil by digging a hole that is two times wider and slightly deeper than the root ball of the plant.
3. Mix organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to improve drainage and fertility.
4. Gently remove the hydrangea from its container, being careful not to damage the roots.
5. Place the plant in the center of the hole, ensuring that it sits at the same depth as it was in its original container.
6. Backfill the hole with soil, firming it gently around the roots to eliminate air pockets.
7. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and provide moisture to the roots.
8. Mulch around the base of the plant with a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or straw, to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
9. Water regularly during dry periods, especially in the first year after planting, to ensure proper establishment.
10. Monitor your newly planted hydrangea for any signs of stress or disease, and take appropriate action if necessary.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your hydrangeas have a strong start and thrive in their new home.
Watering Hydrangeas: Dos and Don'ts
Proper watering is crucial for the health and vitality of hydrangeas. Here are some essential dos and don'ts to keep in mind:
1. Water deeply: Give your hydrangeas a good soak, ensuring that the water reaches the root zone. This encourages deep root growth and helps the plant withstand dry periods.
2. Water consistently: Hydrangeas prefer moist soil, so aim to keep the soil consistently damp but not waterlogged. Check the moisture level regularly and adjust your watering schedule accordingly.
3. Use a soaker hose or drip irrigation: These methods deliver water directly to the roots, minimizing evaporation and reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
4. Mulch around the base: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or compost, around your hydrangeas to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
1. Overwater: Avoid excessive watering, as this can lead to root rot and other issues. Only water when necessary based on soil moisture levels.
2. Water from above: Avoid overhead watering, especially late in the day, as it can promote fungal diseases like powdery mildew. Direct water at the base of the plant instead.
3. Underwater: Neglecting to provide enough water can cause stress to your hydrangeas and result in wilting or stunted growth. Monitor their hydration needs closely.
By following these dos and don'ts for watering hydrangeas, you'll help ensure their health and vibrant blooms throughout the growing season.
Fertilizing Hydrangeas: Best Practices
Fertilizing hydrangeas is crucial for their healthy growth and vibrant blooms. The best time to fertilize is in early spring, just as new growth begins. Use a slow-release, balanced fertilizer with equal amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers as they can promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Apply the fertilizer evenly around the base of the plant, avoiding direct contact with the stems. Water thoroughly after fertilizing to help nutrients penetrate the soil. Repeat this process every 4-6 weeks during the growing season for optimal results. Remember, moderation is key when it comes to fertilizing hydrangeas to avoid overfeeding and potential damage to the plant.
Pruning Hydrangeas: Tips for Healthy Growth
Pruning hydrangeas is essential for maintaining healthy growth and promoting abundant blooms. Here are some tips to help you prune your hydrangeas effectively:
1. Timing: The best time to prune depends on the type of hydrangea you have. For mophead and lacecap hydrangeas, which bloom on old wood, prune right after they finish flowering in late summer or early fall. For panicle and smooth hydrangeas, which bloom on new wood, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
2. Remove dead wood: Start by cutting out any dead or damaged branches. This will improve air circulation and prevent diseases from spreading.
3. Shape the plant: To maintain a neat appearance, selectively remove any overgrown or wayward branches. Cut them back to a healthy bud or lateral branch.
4. Control size: If your hydrangea has grown too large for its space, you can reduce its size by cutting back one-third of the oldest stems each year. This will encourage new growth and keep the plant more manageable.
5. Avoid excessive pruning: While it's important to remove deadwood and shape the plant, avoid excessive pruning as it can lead to reduced blooming. Only remove what is necessary for the health and aesthetics of the plant.
Remember, different types of hydrangeas may require slightly different pruning techniques, so it's always a good idea to research specific instructions for your particular variety. By following these pruning tips, you'll ensure healthy growth and beautiful blooms for your hydrangeas all season long!
Preventing and Treating Common Hydrangea Problems
Hydrangeas are generally hardy plants, but they can still encounter some common problems. One of the most common issues is powdery mildew, a fungal disease that appears as a white powdery coating on the leaves. To prevent this, ensure good air circulation around the plant and avoid overhead watering. If powdery mildew does occur, treat it with a fungicide spray.
Another problem is root rot, which happens when the roots are constantly wet. To prevent this, make sure your hydrangeas are planted in well-draining soil and avoid overwatering. If you notice signs of root rot such as wilting leaves or blackened roots, remove the affected parts and replant in fresh soil.
Aphids can also be a nuisance for hydrangeas. These small insects feed on the sap of the plant and can cause distorted growth and yellowing leaves. To control aphids, use insecticidal soap or neem oil spray. Ladybugs and lacewings are natural predators of aphids and can help keep their population in check.
Lastly, deer can be a major problem for hydrangeas as they love to munch on their foliage and flowers. To deter deer from your garden, consider using fencing or repellents with strong scents like garlic or predator urine.
By being proactive in preventing these common problems and taking prompt action if they do arise, you can ensure that your hydrangeas stay healthy and beautiful throughout the growing season.
Winter Care for Hydrangeas: Protecting from Frost
As the temperatures drop and winter sets in, it's important to take steps to protect your hydrangeas from frost damage. Here are some essential tips for ensuring your plants survive the winter months:
1. Mulch: Before the first frost, apply a layer of mulch around the base of your hydrangeas. This will help insulate the roots and protect them from freezing temperatures.
2. Covering: On particularly cold nights, consider covering your hydrangeas with a breathable fabric or burlap. This will create a barrier against harsh winds and prevent frost damage.
3. Watering: During winter, it's crucial to monitor the moisture levels of your hydrangeas. While they don't require as much water as during the growing season, ensure that the soil doesn't completely dry out.
4. Pruning: Avoid pruning your hydrangeas in late fall or winter, as this can stimulate new growth that is vulnerable to frost damage. Instead, wait until early spring to prune any dead or damaged branches.
By following these winter care tips, you can protect your hydrangeas from frost and ensure they come back strong and beautiful when spring arrives.
In conclusion, by following these essential tips for hydrangea care, you can enjoy beautiful blooms all year round. Remember to choose the right location, provide proper watering and fertilization, and prune your hydrangeas for healthy growth. Be proactive in preventing and treating common problems, and protect your plants from frost during winter. With a little care and attention, your hydrangeas will thrive and bring beauty to your home or garden throughout the seasons.

I have wanted to grow one for a long time now, have been utterly intimidated, and not sure I had the time to truly dedicate to a garden. And I always left myself with the question, if I build a garden, will anything I plant grow?
So I set out and started reading up on gardening, and growing vegetables. I devoured Pinterest, and gardening websites, trying to plan my efforts to growing a prosperous vegetable garden. I cut out photos of plants that I want to grow, raised bed garden photos, and a fence that I think would be the best to build around my garden. Being that we have a bastion of critters that would pull a Peter Rabbit on me, a smart fence is a must.
Being that I am far from having the “green thumb” that Mr. McGreggor had, starting small is the way I need to go.
I created an inspiration and design notebook for me to work from. I always work better if I have plans organized and on paper. I ordered seeds for some vegetables, and actual plants for others. I figure if someone else starts a plant for me, it would be wise for me to go with that. The plants will be delivered sometime in May.
In my reading, I found plants have friends just like we do. Nasturtiums keep bugs away from squash. Petunias protect beans from beetles. Oregano keeps beetles away from cucumbers, and marigolds help tomatoes to grow. All good to know, and absolutely noted in my book! So, for my starter garden design, I designed these BFFs to be planted together.
Today, I planted 5 vegetables from seeds. I began by using these starter trays, and filling each cubbie with starter soil, following the directions on each seed packet of how deep I should sew the seeds.
I decided on a table that is in front of a window that facing south would be my best bet for the tray’s new home until it’s time to plant them outside.

Yet, agriculture faces multiple challenges: a world population expected to grow to 9 billion by 2050, smaller rural labor force, soil quality degradation, climate change, food wastage, water scarcity, biofuel production and changing lifestyles leading to urbanization and more protein-intensive diets. Furthermore, agricultural productivity increases would ensure food security for everyone only if access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food is secured. The growing pressure on global food systems constitutes a critical development challenge and creates an increased risk for businesses, governments, communities and the environment. In this context, the business has become a critical partner for governments and other stakeholders to design and deliver effective, scalable and practical solutions for secure and sustainable food and agriculture system.
Business can contribute to solving these challenges, eradicating hunger and improving food and agriculture systems. Implementing sustainable practices and working in partnership with other actors throughout the agricultural value chain (including input, production, distribution, and retail) will be key to the implementation of SDG2. In particular, empowering small farmers, increasing agricultural productivity and farmers’ livelihoods, raising consumers’ awareness and increasing agricultural investment, as well as knowledge sharing, will be necessary elements of better functioning food and agriculture systems. | agronomy |

Led by Nick Harris, executive director of Community and Church Relations, and Dr. Samantha L. Gerlach, assistant professor of STEM Biology, the event brought together participants from Dr. Gerlach’s Ecology courses and LS-LAMP researchers for an engaging and hands-on experience.
During the session, attendees enthusiastically weeded and prepared garden boxes, before planting a variety of herbs and vegetables such as rosemary, spearmint, parsley, calendula, peppers, and tomatoes. These newly established garden boxes represent a commitment to promoting education and community involvement, with Dillard University’s service-oriented ethos driving efforts to enhance knowledge and activities related to nutritional and medicinal equity within the local community.
The event highlighted the importance of collaboration, sustainability, and community engagement in fostering a healthier and more connected environment. By coming together to cultivate these garden boxes, Dillard University and its partners have taken meaningful steps towards promoting Dillard as a leader in developing healthy, safe and innovative communities through its living, learning, and serving community. | agronomy |

What started in October 1997 as an international research project on urban and periurban vegetable production, has resulted in eight allotment gardens for almost 100 urban poor families of Cagayan de Oro, a city in the Philippines.”
“So what’s the relation to sanitation?” you may ask…well, they’re using Urine-Diverting Dehydration Toilets on all allotment gardens – which (among the provision of sanitational facilities) allow a reuse of treated faeces and urine as soil conditioners and free fertilizer.
The Philippine Allotment Garden project also provides answers to the question of urban farming – a challenge for the 21st century that may go hand in hand with proper sanitation.
The latest version of the “Philippine Allotment Garden Manual with an Introduction to Ecological Sanitation” of Xavier University’s Periurban Vegetable Project (PUVeP) is now available online as a PDF (0,8 MB). | agronomy |

You will find me at alexandracechova on IG.
Our garden has been really productive this first year, and we are now enjoying zucchinis, tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, cucumbers and corn right from the garden. We did also get a couple of sweet apricots and peaches, but the trees need a few more years before giving us a hopefully more plentiful harvest. We are still waiting for the melons to ripen up – they have grown rapidly the last few weeks as the weather has been HOT to say the least.
We have been to three different raw food festivals this summer, all here in Europe. The first one we joined was the Rawfest here in Czech, in Prague – attracting thousands of people during two days. You could taste different raw food products and delicous foods and fruits as well as listen to inspiring lectures and joining yoga or other activities. Petr held a lecture on Raw food myths, very interesting and highly appreciated. Among other speakers you could listen to Mimi Kirk and Tim Shieff, raw food and vegan advocates. If you are interested in learning more about Rawfest, check out their website for more info on the coming Rawfest in 2016 and make sure you come visit if you are in Prague next year in June.
The next festival for us to visit, and work at, was the Raw food festival Midsummer Fruit Celebration, held at Mundekulla retreat center in the South of Sweden. We were invited as raw food chefs and prepared delicious meals for about 55 participants during the four festival days. It was hard work – and very rewarding, we had a blast! We also had access to the most delicious fruits that was ripe for the season and could serve a menu of fruits and gourmet raw foods, all made from whole food without any salt or oil. People sure seemed to find the foods delicious. Petr also held a lecture on his experiences from eating a raw food fruitbased diet for more then 12 years, and the participants could also enjoy lectures and food demos from among others rawfood chef and skater Chris Kendall (Canada) and rawfood chef and teacher Janne Larsen (Denmark/Norway). Make sure you check out this festival next summer for four amazing raw food days at the beautiful Mundekulla retreat center.
The third festival we visited and worked at, was of course the Fresh Food Festival in Denmark. The Fresh Food Festival (FFF) is, as far as I know, the longest running consecutive Raw food, fruit festival in the world! Petr was one of the founders back in 2008, and is now working for Louise Koch (see her Youtube here) as the produce manager at the festival. I, Alex, work as the guest coordinator, taking care of all emails and making sure the guests are placed in their rooms and have everything they need. The festival was truly amazing and we had a blast, meeting old and new friends from all walks of life. The Fresh Food Festival is truly a great event to attend, not only because of the delicious food and fruits (durian and honey mangos for example!) but also for all the great talks by long time rawfooders sharing insights and inspiration and the connections and friendships that are made during the festival. We also had a blast during one evening as we had a “talet show”, where people displayed all kinds of talents, from singing or playing an instrument, to beat-boxing or qi-gong mastery… truly amazing to see all the talents the participants shared. I really urge you to check out the website for more info on the Fresh Food Festival and hopefully join us next year
I truly hope you also are having a fruit filled, sweet summer and please follow my Instagram for updated photos from our garden and daily life if you are interested in what we are up to. Many fruit blissings, | agronomy |

Yes, it’s official, there has been a day over 70 degrees in the area and that means it’s shorts season — the possible 20 days of heat and sunshine us Pacific Northwesterners have grown to love!
“To celebrate the sun, why not check out a few of Mary Jane’s fantastic recreational marijuana products that are raised in the sun? That’s right. Even here, it can happen. You might be asking, what’s the difference between sun-grown and indoor cannabis? Well, a lot actually.”
To celebrate the sun, why not check out a few of Mary Jane’s fantastic recreational marijuana products that are raised in the sun? That’s right. Even here, it can happen. You might be asking, what’s the difference between sun-grown and indoor cannabis? Well, a lot actually.
Quality — While cannabis grown indoors oftentimes has a higher THC content, it does not get exposure to the entire spectrum of light that sun grown weed is and therefore creates smaller crops and less-vigorous plants.
Price — Indoor growing is a year-round process with crop after crop being produced while outdoor growing is just one crop, grown throughout a season. The indoor option requires far more attention and equipment. The costs are sometimes recouped by the business while other times it is passed onto the consumer.
Climate — It’s all about control, honestly. When you grow outdoors, you leave a lot of variables to nature. It’s less mechanical, whereas with indoor grown cannabis, everything is controlled by the producer. These aspects don’t make either better or worse, just different.
Luckily, Mary Jane pot shop in Kirkland has a nice selection of sun grown marijuana and we are lucky to have such amazing partners in producers such as Solstice, CannaSol, and Doctor and Crook . So next time you’re going lay out in the sun and get some rays, be sure to stop by and pick up some marijuana grown while sitting in the warmth of our favorite star. | agronomy |
