Jeremy Colombik (JC): Many of our founding fathers grew hemp and advocated its uses and benefits, and Thomas Jefferson composed the draft of the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper, but hemp farming was eventually officially banned in 1970 with the passage of the Controlled Substances Act in which hemp was included as a Schedule 1 drug, grouping this crop with its twin: marijuana. After almost 30 years of being forbidden, US businesses were once again permitted to import dietary hemp products (seeds, oil) in 2004. The first really big win for US farmers came in 2007, when two North Dakota farmers were granted hemp licenses – the first time in over 50 years. Continuing that momentum, The 2014 Farm Bill was signed into law, which allowed various universities to research hemp cultivation. This was exciting news for the resurrected hemp industry, but still made it quite difficult for businesses to operate with no access to crop insurance, property and casualty insurance, banking and no legal method of transport across state lines. Additionally, this bill was set to expire in 2019. The significance to the 2018 Farm Bill means that all hemp cultivation, processing and operations are now legal across all states and business owners can have easier access to banking, transporting their products across state lines as well as securing insurance for their business. | agronomy |

The B&B was created under the loving eye of Carolyn Stewart-Snow and Roland Snow. They meticulously cared for and ran this inn for 20 years. During those years they had many guests, over 4000 to be exact. Their attention to detail as hosts, brought back over 500 return guests.
In June of 2019, my husband Robert and I purchased the home and the B&B from Carolyn and Roland. We have big dreams for this place and even bigger shoes to fill picking up where Carolyn and Roland left off! We will eventually incorporate the Chanticleer into the Kindred Oak Farm family by rebranding it to its new name Kindred Oak Farm. Our vision also will have the 20 acres of our Kindred Oak Farm be a working farm with organic gardens, a vineyard, orchard and even cut flower garden all while hosting guests and future events at the former Chanticleer Vineyard B&B. The Farm will eventually provide our B&B with the majority of the ingredients we will serve, as well as the local restaurants and farmer markets.
While the name is changing, the mission continues to provide our guests with a top quality, peaceful, four star retreat.
While Carolyn isn’t doing the cooking in the morning my breakfasts will still feature recipes that are healthful with ingredients that are fresh, organic and locally sourced.
While the ownership has changed, the legacy continues. The kindred spirits of the Snow’s and the Peach’s has created the Kindred Oaks Farm. | agronomy |

For those who can make it, we are going to dig the Maple roots out of one of the beds in our Dahl / Roeder Memorial garden. We will start at 9:00am and work for a couple of hours. The area isn’t very large and the plan is to dig up the existing hostas in the bed, then dig down around the borders to find the roots and pull / dig them out of the bed. Once the bed is cleared, we will replant the hostas. | agronomy |

Apart from the relief, the past week was unfortunately very dry and minimal summer grain plantings took place. Summer grain plantings in Mpumalanga are largely completed with soybeans still being planted. Drought conditions in the Eastern Free State raise concerns with the optimal planting date that passed and minimal planting has taken place in certain areas. Rain is awaited in the western parts of the country, after which producers will start planting summer crops. The occurrence of rain remains one of the determining factors in the choice and quantity of crops that producers will plant. | agronomy |

In the spring I will show you some of the changes that I am doing in this front garden. Originally I planted 20 roses and added perennials and self sowing annuals. A mass of blooming color, that was the plan. But that was before the deer population exploded, and before I realized that this full sun garden required lots of dead heading in the middle of July. I have 3 composters and even so the cleaning up of this garden fills a pickup. In addition, I have also removed most of the grass in the back yard and all the grass in the side yard. So my goal now is to plant flowering ground covers and perennials that are water wise and do not require deadheading in the middle of the summer. I'm leaving a few of these beauties, but not a pickup load. LESSON LEARNED: Flowers turn to seeds and finish their cycle. Keep the hot summer garden low maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use a soaker hose in my garden?
The main benefit of using a soaker hose is that it saves water. Soaker hoses are designed to seep water slowly and evenly, which means less water is lost to evaporation and runoff. This can be a great way to conserve water, especially if you live in an area with water restrictions.
Another advantage of soaker hoses is that they can help reduce your water bill. Since they use less water, that means your water usage will be lower. This can be a significant savings, especially if you have a large garden.
Soaker hoses also help keep your plants healthy. By evenly watering your plants, you can help reduce stress on the roots and avoid problems like root rot. This can lead to healthier plants that are better able to withstand pests and disease.
Of course, there are a few things to keep in mind when using soaker hoses. One is that they can be a tripping hazard, so be sure to keep them out of the way of foot traffic. Another is that they can attract animals, so be sure to keep them away from areas where you don’t want animals coming into your garden.
Which is better flat or round soaker hose?
There are pros and cons to each type of soaker hose. Flat soaker hoses are less likely to kink than round soaker hoses, but they can be more difficult to store. Round soaker hoses can be easier to store, but they are more likely to kink. Ultimately, it is up to the user to decide which type of soaker hose is best for their needs.
How long should you run a soaker hose in a garden?
In general, soaker hoses should be run for about 30 minutes per day. This will ensure that the plants get enough water without causing any runoff. If you have a large garden, you may need to run the soaker hose for longer periods of time.
If you are using a soaker hose to water your lawn, you will need to run it for a longer period of time. Depending on the size of your lawn, you may need to run the soaker hose for up to two hours.
If you are using a soaker hose to water potted plants, you will only need to run the hose for a few minutes. Potted plants do not need as much water as other plants, so you will not need to run the hose for as long.
In general, soaker hoses should be run in the morning. This will give the plants time to absorb the water before the hot sun dries it up. If you cannot run the hose in the morning, you can run it in the evening. Just be sure to turn the hose off before the sun goes down.
What is the difference between a soaker hose and a regular hose?
A soaker hose is a type of garden hose that is designed to slowly release water over a period of time. These hoses have small holes or pores along their length that allow water to seep out slowly. Soaker hoses are often used to water gardens or lawns, as they can help to reduce water waste and minimize the risk of overwatering.
Regular hoses, on the other hand, are designed to release water at a much higher rate. These hoses do not have the same small holes or pores, and as a result, water will flow out of them much more quickly. Regular hoses are often used for tasks such as watering plants that need a lot of water or rinsing off a car.

How a world shortage of fertilizer could result in serious implications to crop yields in 2022.
One of the most important commodities in the world is quietly seeing rising prices as well as a slipping supply to suffice the massive world demand. That commodity is fertilizer.
As a result of soaring natural gas, urea, and ammonia prices, production of Nitrogen based fertilizers has become exceedingly costly for many of the world’s major fertilizer producers: leading to a worldwide shortage of fertilizer. The key product in crop production has been seeing prices quietly surge over the latter half of 2021, leading to providers cutting down production due to high costs, and many farmers being unable to source the product. The lack of global availability could result in devastation of worldwide crop yields for 2022 if supply continues to be constrained.
“I want to say this loud and clear right now, that we risk a very low crop in the next harvest… I’m afraid we’re going to have a food crisis. To produce a ton of ammonia last summer was $110… and now it’s $1,000. So it’s just incredible.” -Svein Tore Holsether, CEO & President of Yara International
Those were the words of Norwegian based Yara International’s CEO at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow. Yara International is one of the largest producer of nitrogen fertilizer in the world. Such words echo a stark warning for the world populations regarding crop yields.
A poor crop yield in 2022 would immediately result in inflation in food prices, during a time where The Federal Reserve has continued to assure the world that current inflation “…[reflects] factors that are expected to be transitory.” Such price volatility in food that the global population surely needs could amplify inflationary price pressures into next year, and not only influence the populations of poorer countries, but also the United States, which is a major importer of farm nutrients and exporter of agricultural products.
What is fertilizer?
Now, I am sure someone reading this may quietly be thinking in their head, “So… what exactly does fertilizer do?”
Well, that’s a great question. Most know that fertilizers aid in delivering nutrients to plants, but how do they work and what do they consist of?
Here’s a quick primer:
Metaphorically, fertilizers to plants are like multivitamins to humans; they deliver the essential nutrients required by them. These nutrients can include nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous. By enriching the soil around the plant, the water retention capacity and fertility of the soil can be increased to amplify crop growth.
These fertilizers can be organic, such as crop residues, manures, and slurries, or synthetic mineral based such as industrially produced fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Organic fertilizers vary in their consistency of nutrients, so larger scale farmers also use synthetic fertilizers to ensure consistency in nutrient delivery.
The production of synthetic mineral fertilizers requires an array of raw materials and chemicals. Below is a chart depicting the material used in production of ammonium nitrate, single superphosphate, and muriate of potash just to name a few fertilizer types:
Often times, nitrogen is the the nutrient that is limiting to further crop production, even though it is one of the most abundant elements on earth with the atmosphere containing nearly 78% nitrogen. Thus, synthetic nitrogen based fertilizers are the most produced fertilizers in the world.
Not only did the creation of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers allow for increased crop yields, but it also enabled livestock numbers to multiply greatly. The excess crops yielded from the fertilizer allowed farmers to use more of that to feed their livestock, specifically grain-fed animals, such as chicken [we will touch base on this point again later on].
Note that natural gas is the key ingredient in production of ammonia, which in turn is a key element in ammonium nitrate (as the name would imply) and urea ammonium nitrate. Price spikes of natural gas directly affect the price of ammonia, and thus the price of nitrogen based fertilizers. Natural gas prices have nearly doubled year over year, at a rate that many economists were not expecting.
World fertilizer usage
As of 2015, roughly half of the world population was supported with the production and usage of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers for food.
The world is immensely dependent on synthetic fertilizers for aiding crop production. Without an ample stockpile of fertilizers, many countries may see an extremely poor crop yield in 2022 after the growing season begins, generally denoted as the period between the last frost of the winter and the first frost of the fall.
Many lower GDP per capita countries using large amounts of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer could potentially be devastated by large shortages or cost spikes in the product. Countries such as Burundi, Afghanistan, and Honduras, among many others using a high average of 10kg of fertilizer per hectare could be devastated by a lack of the product. Countries with larger populations also could be greatly affected, with the U.S., China, and Russia all using over 10kg per hectare on average as well.
China uses more phosphate based fertilizer than nitrogen based in their agriculture production, but is a massive player in phosphate production and trade, representing nearly 30% of the world trade for the product. China noted the shrinking world supply of fertilizers, and in early October implemented restrictions on phosphate exports until June 2022. This move alerted the world agricultural community the true potential of a large worldwide shortage of fertilizers. Russia, one of the main producers and exporters of nitrogen fertilizers, recently followed in China’s footsteps to impose limitations on exports; specifically to ensure domestic supplies and contain price inflation. The biggest customer’s for Russia’s nitrogen exports - the U.S. and Brazil.
The increased restrictions on international exports of fertilizers will only exacerbate price hikes and tighten available supply further. The United States have yet to directly issue this lack of supply and how the nation plans on aiding domestic food production into 2022.
What would a shortage imply?
There are numerous domestically produced food items that would be very sensitive to price and supply shocks to fertilizer.
Corn and wheat are two domestically grown crops that are very dependent on synthetic fertilizer for consistent crop yield. Lower yields would increase the prices of said crops, and have rippling effects on the food supply chain.
Due to corn’s dependency on fertilizer coupled with increased costs, many farmers are considering a shift away from corn to soybeans during the 2022-2023 farming season as a result. S&P Global Platts Analytics projects a 2 million acre shift away from corn to soybeans is possible in the upcoming year. The U.S. is the largest corn exporter in the world, exporting nearly $9.2 billion in 2020 as a result of increased Chinese demand for the crop. A shift away from corn production could result in a hit to the U.S. gross exports for 2022, and hiking prices for items produced with corn such as food products, biofuels, and animal feed- which takes up nearly 36% of U.S. corn. Ethanol is the largest usage of produced corn, and is key in the migration away from fossil fuels to cleaner energy alternatives.
Remember the mention of chicken feed earlier?
Price increases in grains such as wheat and corn have and will continue to negatively influence the poultry industry. Feeding chickens is quickly becoming one of the most costly components of poultry farming, directly resulting in price increases for poultry and eggs domestically.
These price increases most likely will only get worse into 2022 as the fertilizer shortage is further felt worldwide. Beef, pork, and poultry have all increased at a much faster rate than other food items, accounting for as much as half of price inflation at grocery stores. These price increases will only further hurt the average U.S. consumer who wish to feed their family.
And with U.S. poultry exports currently on track for another record year, price increases could influence other countries who import chicken and eggs from the U.S. such as China, Mexico, and Cuba.
The result of a shortage is a domino effect of food supply chain items increasing in price, and potentially pricing out many of those struggling against food insecurity. Nearly 38 million Americans in 2020 lived in households that struggled against food insecurity, with those affected being predominantly in household income-to-poverty ratios of under 1.00.
Worldwide, 2020 was a year that marked a major surge in world hunger- with nearly 1 out of every 10 people on earth undernourished. Undernourished is defined as not having enough to eat for a normal and healthy life for a period of at least one year. Undernourishment was most prevalent in low-income nations such as Yemen, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Burundi. Countries which as previously mentioned, as very dependent on fertilizer for crop yields.
Bold and fast actions need to be taken by world leaders regarding the fertilizer supply chain in order to ensure we as a global population do not have a food shortage in 2022.
So what’s next?
On their most recent earnings call, CF Industries, a large American manufacturer of ammonia and fertilizers, reiterated the comments made by their Norwegian competitor reiterating that the reduction in global crop yields next year is a very real risk.
When asked with what could tame input prices such as nitrogen fertilizer, John Beghin, Agricultural Economist at the University of Nebraska, had this to say:
“Look at the lack of integration, for instance, for potassium-based fertilizer… I mean, we have prices in the U.S. now almost $700 per metric ton and the same in Brazil, yet the Vancouver price is around $225. So yes, obviously there are supply disruptions that could be resolved and transportation issues, so those could be resolved in that sense.”
According to Beghin, there could be some optimization as to how the U.S. deals with its supply and transportation issues. However the fact still stands although fertilizer price may not increase at a rate as high as it has recently, it will continue to steady at increased prices:
“If you look at the outlook for fertilizer, the World Bank says that 2022, we won't see price increases, but price will be steady at where they are… So, that's the outlook from the World Bank on fertilizer prices. That's not the great news, but it doesn’t say prices are increasing. But the problems won't be resolved instantly.”
It is up to the world’s largest economies to support increased capacity for fertilizer production and transportation, as well as aid to farmers that could potentially feel the burden of increased costs in 2022. As much as The Federal Reserve has enjoyed dancing with the concept of transitory inflation in their messages to market participants, the lax attitude towards the domino effect of future inflationary shocks caused many to be taken off guard by the volatility in commodity prices.
This price shock will only continue to effect global economies into 2022, this time with the food that we eat instead of the fuel that we burn.

The Potato (Solanum Tuberosum) (not to be confused with sweet potato) is a root and tuber crop. Its rich starch content makes it the fourth most cultivated and the most consumed non-grain crop in the world. Potato is widely believed to have first being cultivated in the Andes region. Studies have shown that potato cultivation is responsible for one-fourth of the growth in the old world population and urbanization, as such potato is very important to man.
Potato cultivation in Nigeria
In Nigeria, it is the third most important root and tuber crop after yam and cassava. It was introduced to Nigeria by European miners around the 1940’s, and with a total yield of 180 tonnes then, its cultivation has come a long way with yields of over 1,000,000 tons in 2012 harvested from over 300,000 hectares of farmland. With a need for a temperature between 150C and 300C, potato is majorly cultivated in Plateau state, although it can be planted on the highlands of Obudu plateau in Cross River and Mambilla Plateau in Borno State. During the harmattan season (months), potato can be successfully planted in other northern states like Borno, Katsina, Kano, Kaduna, Yobe, Jigawa, Gombe, Zamfara, Sokoto, Bauchi and Kebbi under an irrigation-fed system.
Climatic conditions play a very important role in potato cultivation, as some key developmental stages such as tuber formation are dependent on temperature. With this is in mind, the potato can be planted year round in Plateau state, as the State meets the climatic requirement of potato, but can only be planted during harmattan months in other Northern state. In Jos, Plateau state, the uplands are cultivated during the rainy season, while the Fadama(which are flooded valley plains) are cultivated in the dry season. Potato planted during the rainy season are harvested around 80 days after planting to prevent it from being infected by the late blight disease, a disease that thrives in the rainy season, this early harvesting result in a lower yield in the the rainy season. It should be planted around April-May for rain fed cultivation and around November –December for irrigation-fed system.
The potato is planted using the vegetative method. It is grown by either planting what is called ‘seed potato’ ( small tubers or pieces of tuber), which are to be sown at depths of 5 cm, or by planting true potato seed, the seed potato to be planted must be free from diseases and of high quality as this affects the yield and quality of the output. The planting method varies with the cultivar been planted but regular potatoes are often grown in bags as this increases yield and reduces digging needed for harvesting. Fertilizers (NPK) should be applied and regular weeding should be done.

Available Cultivars in Nigeria
In Nigeria, there are different cultivars of seed potato available, both local and imported varieties.
Local varieties includes but is not limited to:
Imported varieties which are high yielding and highly resistant to diseases includes but not limited to:
Pest and Diseases
The following are the predominant diseases that affect potato in Nigeria
Late blight: the late blight is a disease caused by fungus and thrives during the rainy season, it can be prevented by early planting, the use of early maturing varieties and resistant varieties. Fungicides such as Dithane or Ridomil can also be applied.
Bacterial wilt: Like the name indicates, it is a disease caused by bacteria and is characterised by wilting, browning and stunted growth of the plant. To prevent the occurrence of this disease, it is best to plant resistant varieties and in cases of occurrence, affected crops should be destroyed.
Harvesting and Storage
The potato is matured when its leaves starts getting yellow and the tubers are easily separated from the stolons. Harvesting time depends on the intended use of the output, if it is to be stored after harvesting, they are left in the ground to allow their skin thicken for a longer period. Depending on the production size, potato can be harvested manually or with mechanized equipment, it can be harvested with spade, plough or with a commercial potato harvester.
Importance and uses
The potato, an important crop with a world production of over 368 million tons as at 2013, is grown for its varied uses and application, some of which are listed below;
&-8211; As an important staple food that can help improve the challenge of food security, a serving of potato provides 6% of humans total daily Recommended Dietary Allowance.
&-8211; As an important component in animal feed production.
&-8211; Potato Starch is used in the food industry as soup thickeners.
&-8211; Potato starch is also used in the textile and adhesives industries.
&-8211; Potato is also processed into several value-added products such as fries and crisps for human consumption.
Investment prospect for potato cultivation
The potato value chain in Nigeria although with huge potential is not operating at its peak, the lapses in this industry provides a window of opportunity for investors to operate in. The following are some of the investment opportunities that abound in the Potato value chain:
&-8211; There is a shortage of certified and healthy seed in Nigeria, with a demand of about 1 million tons of seed. Hence, the breeding and sale of good and certified true potato seed is bound to thrive.
&-8211; There is an increased demand in processed potato products, and a concurrent scarcity of foreign exchange, this has led to supply deficit of processed potato. The scarcity of processed potatoes caused by unavailability of FOREX translates to an opportunity to engage in large scale potato cultivation locally, In the same vein, it translate to an opportunity to process locally sourced potato as there are few companies involved in this at the moment.
Reasons to invest in Potato
&-8211; Potato is one of the most cultivated crops in the world and it is still very much in demand
&-8211; It is the most efficient root and tuber crop grown in Nigeria in terms of yield and days to maturity.
&-8211; The forex ban on products has affected the import of processed potatoes, leaving a market worth about N16 bn open for investors to penetrate.
&-8211; The increasing rate of urbanization has also led to an increased consumption of French fries.
&-8211; Research has shown that there is a possible 128% rate of turnover when planting a cultivar of potato called Mirabel ( with a yield per hectare of 20 tons)
Constraints of potato cultivation
&-8211; Land tenure system: the Land Tenure Act limits the land available to farmers and discourages potato cultivation on a large scale as there is a limit to the hectarage of land a farmer can possess, although this is changing as conscious effort are been made by various government to increase farmers access to land.
&-8211; Un-availability of good and clean seed: the quality of seed available in Nigeria is poor and this affects the yield of the potato tubers produced adversely as Nigeria records one of the lowest yield per hectare of potato.
&-8211; Lack of mechanization: the process of potato cultivation to harvesting is still been done manually, this crudeness in production discourages large scale cultivation of potato
&-8211; Lack of adequate storage system: the storage method currently practiced in Nigeria is the traditional method, in which the potato tubers are harvested late and kept in the pit, this method can only sustain the quality of the potato for about a month, after which spoilage creeps in, the resulting spoilage increases the loss to the farmer, reduces revenue and discourages farmers from planting.

The history of the plant begins many years ago, in the swamps of Siberia, where the uncommon plant Vaccinium Corumbosum (the blueberry) was found. During hundreds of years people were enjoying the color and the scent of the plant, without having any idea about its wholesome merit. When it came at the hands of the American scientists, they domesticated it after many years of research.
The size of the fruit in this improved form gets over many times the size of its wild “mother”, therefore maintaining the amazing taste and quality. Nowadays, many varieties of domesticated blueberry are produced. They cultivate it all over the world, from Canada to New Zealand.
But the home of the domesticated blueberry is considered to be the U.S.A., since there, in the beginning of the 20th century the American botanist Kyle, was the first man in the world who begun the cultivation of blueberry.
The results that were received in 1998, after researches on the blueberry fruit, at the Medical Center of Boston, U.S.A, overcame every expectation.
Now, the blueberry was advertised as a source of eternal youth.
As the American scientists has proven the blueberry, not only has the ability to slow down the mechanism of aging but also contributes at the revival of the body.
For someone, wishing to improve his/her metabolism, memory or the simultaneity of movements, will be enough to dring half of the cup of juice from blueberry fruits, every day. The juice of the plant increases the resistance of the blood vessels, regulates the function of numerous endocrine glands and has the ability to dilate the vessels, protects the core, acts against arteriosclerosis and is antiphlogistic. Also, appeases the allergic reactions of the system, to medicine or food.
The fruit itself never causes any kind of allergy and it can be given even to children with higher sensitivity to allergies or diabetes. | agronomy |

Economic Restructuring in Rural Latin America
26 May 2005
- Author(s): Carmen Diana Deere
The main trends associated with the economic crisis, neoliberal restructuring, and the growth of rural poverty rates in Latin America include a continued diversification of rural household income-generating strategies, an increase in the number of household members seeking off-farm employment, and the increased participation of rural women as both own-account and wage workers in the agricultural as well as non-agricultural sectors.
The growth in women’s agricultural wage employment has been concentrated in the non-traditional agro-export sector favoured under neoliberalism: specifically, in the production and packing of fresh vegetables, fruits and flowers for Northern markets, now Latin America’s leading agricultural export. In many countries women and children make up half or more of the field labour for these crops, while women constitute the vast majority of the workers in the packing houses geared to export. Such employment is principally temporary, seasonal and precarious in nature. It is difficult to capture quantitatively in national censuses and household surveys. The essay analyses the role of gender-segmented labour markets in increasing the demand for female labour, as well as the significance of women’s increased participation in wage labour for female empowerment.
There is also evidence of a feminization of smallholder production, as growing numbers of rural women become the principal farmers—that is, own-account workers in agriculture. This phenomenon is associated with an increase in the proportion of rural female household heads; male absence from the farm, in turn related to growing male migration, and the decreased viability of peasant farming under neoliberalism.
The principal factor driving these trends is the need for rural households to diversify their livelihoods. The combination of growing land shortage, economic crises and unfavourable policies for domestic agriculture has meant that peasant households can no longer sustain themselves on the basis of agricultural production alone. The response to the crisis of peasant agriculture has been an increase in the number of rural household members pursuing off-farm activities. Whether these are male, female, or include both genders, depends on a myriad of factors, with household composition and the stage of the domestic cycle, and the dynamism and gendered nature of local, regional and international labour markets, being among the most important.

The intense blue colour of a field of flax in flower is a remarkable sight and one not so commonly found in Britain today. The cloth made from the finest fibres in the stem of linseed (flax) plants is well known to us as linen. Coarser fibres are used to make rope and twine. Linseed is thought to be one of the oldest fibre crops in the world. Like wheat and barley it is believed to have originated in the fertile valleys of west Asia, including Jordan, Syria and Iraq.
Linen was certainly being made in ancient Egypt and drawings on tombs and temples at Thebes on the River Nile show flax plants flowering. Since then it has spread across the world; Canada is the largest producer today.
The seeds themselves are also versatile. When ground and processed they produce a vegetable oil that is known as linseed oil. This has been used for centuries. It is a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids, the same nutrient that is found in oily fish. These acids help to contribute to a healthy diet. Indeed, the growing popularity of ‘superfoods’ has helped linseeds evolve from an obscure crop to a known health food, appearing in breads, muffins and cakes.
Linseed oil is also traditionally used in putty, paints and for oiling wood, especially cricket bats. It even finds its way into animal feed, and is an efficient and clean fuel for energy production from plants (biofuel).
Other uncommon crops in the UK include lavender, which is grown in Norfolk and Somerset, and grapes, which are harvested largely from a handful of vineyards in south east England. As the climate warms, we are likely to see more vineyards. When it comes to unusual animals reared commercially, we can find ostriches, llamas, water buffalo and snails in Britain’s farms. | agronomy |

Some kids might think honey comes from the grocery store. Have a bee-utiful time this month learning about honey, flowers, and bees in science.
Bees make honey to feed their young and to have something to eat during the winter. Bees live in colonies. There are three types of bees in each colony. the queen bee, the worker bee and the drone.
Bees do give us honey, but they also are great pollinators. They buzz around looking for nectar and enable plants to produce the fruits and nuts we enjoy by carrying pollen from one plant or flower to the next. Sometimes farmers contact professional beekeepers to have them send honeybees to them in order to help their crops get pollinated.
Scientists have a hard time studying bees because they can travel up to two miles from their hive to look for nectar and if they get hurt or die, the scientist doesn’t know where to find them so he can find out why they died. Also, when scientists return to a hive they have been studying, about half the bees they studied on their first visit will be dead, replaced by new ones in the natural life cycle of bees. | agronomy |

Nevertheless, fall may truly be the very best season for planting and spending time outdoors getting your palms within the filth.
In most locations, the climate in autumn options reasonable temperatures, loads of sunny days and occasional rains—very best circumstances for individuals in addition to crops. Whether or not you prefer to develop meals, flowers or each, the steps that you simply take within the fall will repay for the following gardening season and for years to come back.
Bonus: Getting outdoors and transferring round whereas gardening is the proper exercise to assist your weight reduction targets! On Nutrisystem, we suggest 30 minutes of bodily exercise every day.
Take a look at these 12 simple ideas for fall backyard success:
Many scrumptious and nutritious greens develop greatest in cool temperatures somewhat than within the warmth of summer time. Fall climate additionally permits bushes, shrubs and perennial flowers to settle in and begin rising roots. In case you can, watch for an overcast day earlier than a light-weight rain to plant.
1. Leafy greens, together with spinach, arugula, and kale all do effectively within the fall. You can begin with seeds or with little transplants you purchase on the backyard middle. In all however the coldest areas, these crops will produce a number of harvest-ready leaves in fall, go dormant in winter, after which start rising contemporary leaves because the climate warms once more in spring.
2. Radishes come up rapidly and the spicy roots might be prepared so as to add to your salads in as little as 5 to 6 weeks after you sow the seeds.
three. Carrot seeds germinate extra slowly, however they thrive in cooler temperatures, too. The truth is, you may depart carrots within the floor till it freezes exhausting. They style sweeter after a chill.
four. Garlic grows like many flowering bulbs: You plant particular person cloves of garlic within the fall and every one will change into an entire new bulb over the winter. They’ll be prepared so that you can dig up and eat when the following spring turns to summer time.
5. Fruiting bushes and shrubs get an opportunity to settle in and begin placing down roots whenever you plant them in fall. Even in case you have a small yard, think about placing in a dwarf apple, cherry or peach tree. You’ll benefit from the contemporary fruit for years after. Raspberry bushes want slightly room to unfold out, however they produce abundantly season after season and require virtually no upkeep.
6. Flowering bulbs convey sensible colours to your yard in spring, however they get began in fall. Tulips, daffodils, crocuses and hyacinths come in several sizes, colours and patterns, so you could find some that suit your panorama and style. Plant a combination so you’ve gotten flowers in bloom every month.
Carry it In
7. Cooking herbs, equivalent to thyme, rosemary and chives, develop effectively indoors in winter in addition to outdoors through the hotter months. Earlier than frigid temperatures set in for good, dig up small items of your favourite culinary herbs and plant them in containers with potting soil. Set the pots on a windowsill (ideally going through south or west the place the solar is strongest in winter). Snip off leaves and add them to your meals everytime you need. You can also put fresh-cut herbs in a dry, darkish place for a pair weeks after which it can save you the dried leaves in clear jars to make use of as wanted.
eight. Houseplants, together with cacti and different succulents, thrive once they get to absorb lengthy days of summer time sunshine. Nevertheless, when in a single day temperatures start to drop under 50 levels F, they’re prepared to come back inside. Give them a fast rinse first to clean away any insect pests that is likely to be hanging round.
Prep for Spring
9. You possibly can immediately multiply most of the hottest perennial crops, equivalent to daylilies, peonies and hostas, by dividing them within the fall. Merely dig up clumps of the crops and break them into smaller items along with your palms or a pointy spade. Then replant the items in new spots, water them effectively and watch for them to come back up once more within the spring.
10. You may consider fall leaves in your garden as a nuisance, however they are surely a treasure. Shred up leaves utilizing a garden mower with a grass-catching bag after which unfold them in your flower and vegetable beds. The leaves make a blanket that insulates the soil and retains it from washing away throughout heavy storms. Because the leaves slowly decompose within the coming months, they launch vitamins that crops take up within the spring.
11. Turbocharge your backyard and prepare for spring by mixing manure into the soil in fall. You should purchase nutrient-rich manure in luggage from native backyard facilities or get it from a neighborhood farm, whether or not it comes from cows, horses, sheep or chickens.
12. Preserve your energy tools equivalent to mowers and string trimmers working effectively by draining their gasoline tanks after the final reduce of the season. Put in contemporary fuel whenever you begin them up once more in spring. | agronomy |

It is some years since Perelada took the successful decision to produce highly characterful wines in Empordà. It was that same love of our craft that took us to Priorat, one of the best known Denominaciones de Origen internationally and one of only two to be awarded Denominación de Origen Calificada status.
The Cartuja (Charterhouse) of Scala Dei is the historic birthplace of vines and wine making in the Denominación de Origen Calificada Priorat. In the 12th century Carthusian monks from Provence brought with them the knowledge and techniques necessary to develop a viticulture which quickly became established and which has evolved through the centuries. The domains of the Cartuja formed the basis of historical Priorat which today corresponds to the wine-producing region of DOQ Priorat. This small, mountainous area comprises 1,800 hectares of vineyards, some 600 growers and 102 wineries. The terrain is such that the vines have to be planted on steep slopes often making it necessary to build terraces.
The origins of Casa Gran del Siurana
On the outskirts of Bellmunt del Priorat, on the banks of the River Siurana, stands the property popularly known as Casa Gran. This historic, three hundred year old building was previously home to the Carthusian monks of Scala Dei, the monastic order which introduced viticulture into the area in the 12th century.
The property surrounding the Casa Gran, which was witness to the monks’ strict vow of silence, now forms part of our vineyards.
The Casa Gran del Siurana project began in the year 2000 with the goal of producing the wines from scratch: selecting the land with most potential, choosing the most suitable vine stocks and cultivating them carefully until the optimum moment for harvesting, then deciding on the best means of vinification and ageing. | agronomy |

Most commercially prepared amygdalin is extracted from the seeds of apricot. It is composed of two molecules of glucose (a sugar), one molecule of benzaldehyde and one molecule of hydrocyanic acid (an anti-neoplastic compound). Amygdalin is a plant compound that contains sugar and produces cyanide. Amygdalin is found in the pits of many fruits and raw nuts. It is also found in other plants, such as lima beans, clover, and sorghum. Cyanide is believed to be the active cancer-killing ingredient in laetrile. Apricot kernels are the richest source of vitamin B17. Laetrile is present in apricot kernels and to a lesser degree in other stone fruit kernels. It is also found in sprouting seeds. Amygdalin is found naturally in the seeds and pits of apples, cherries, peaches, plums, almonds, papaya, nectarines, and apricots. It also occurs in raw nuts, lima beans, clover, and sorghum. In plants, the cyanogenetic diglucoside may play a natural role in fruit ripening and as a fungicide.
Vitamin B17 is found in most all fruit seeds such as the apple, peach, cherry, orange, plums, nectarine and apricot, often in the extraordinary concentration of 2 to 3 percent. The apple seed is equally rich in vitamin B17. It is found in some beans and many grasses such as wheat grass. Other foods that contain vitamin B17 are bitter almonds, millet, lima beans and more. Two more rich sources of vitamin B17 are the simple cereal millet and buckwheat. Macadamia nuts are very rich in Vitamin B17 and so are bamboo shoots, mung beans, lima beans, butter beans and certain strains of garden peas. But for convenience, the simple sources for vitamin B17 are the seeds of the common fruit. Vitamin B17 is also found in great abundance in a very wide variety of vegetable foods once eaten in great abundance by man, and the natural fodder of animals is similarly rich in the factor. | agronomy |

, professor and researcher at Washington State University.
Dr. Joseph Harrison, professor and researcher at Washington State University, is involved with extensive research related to dairy cattle nutrition and its influence on nutrient management. The following research focuses on the effects of potassium and positive dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) levels on lactating dairy cattle performance.
Tell us a little about your experience with DCAD research.¹
Potassium is an essential regulator of sweat glands, helping keep cows cool, maintain rumen integrity and produce high levels of milk. Realizing that dairy cattle lose excessive amounts of potassium each day through normal daily functions and production needs, our research has focused on increasing levels and delivering potassium to the dairy cow.
In our study, 30 Holstein cows were randomly assigned to one of two groups at 15 days in milk (DIM) through 85 DIM. The Control group was fed potassium through forage sources only at the rate of 1.2% dry matter, resulting in a ration formulated for a DCAD of +25 meq/100g ration dry matter. Treatment cows were supplemented with DCAD Plus® Feed Grade Potassium Carbonate to increase dietary potassium to 2% dry matter and to increase DCAD to +42 meq/100g as shown in the table below.
What were the results of boosting DCAD in lactating cow rations?
Through our research we found that boosting DCAD levels in the early stages of lactation can optimize dry matter intake (DMI) and increase milk and component yields. The chart below outlines the significant improvements in milk fat that were seen in cows fed DCAD Plus. We attributed these improvements to additional rumen buffering to help stabilize the high metabolic acid load occurring to meet the production demands of early lactation animals.
From the trials and milk samples we discovered that potassium also has an effect at the rumen level, lowering the amount of trans-fatty acids in fluid milk.
What are the implications of these findings for dairy producers?
Over the last 18 months, dairy producers have faced many financial hardships; increasing the DCAD levels in the early lactation cows of your herd can improve income over feed cost (IOFC) through increased component levels and feed efficiency.

They inserted the PSTOL1 gene into the DNA molecule of the plant. The PSTOL1 gene was present in the DNA structures of wild rice in fact but was “lost” in the process of domestication as reported in the article published in the latest issue of Nature magazine.
Phosphor is the micro-element of the crucial significance for the normal growth and development of both plants and animals. As a rule the soil in the most regions contains less phosphor than it is required to maintain the maximum fast growth of the croppers. In that way these ares need the constant manuring. The left-outs of the mineral fertilizers used are washed by the waters of the rivers into the sea. That causes the increasing the amount of seaweed and the acidulation of the water. | agronomy |

- 300,000 hectares
- 100 local stakeholders involved
- 20+ business cases identified
- Partnering with Wide Open Agriculture
A public cause should be owned by the public
A unique venture has been successfully undertaken in Australia by our local partner Wide Open Agriculture (WOA): they are the very first 4 returns-based company that went public, meaning: in April the Initial Public Offering (IPO) started, and as from June they are listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASE). As far as we are aware, this is a global novelty: nowhere else is an enterprise traded on the stock exchange that focuses on regenerating ecosystems and communities through regenerative food and farming systems. So, compliments and cheers to WOA for embarking on such a unique and exciting journey; opening up new perspectives for other companies and investors inspired by our holistic approach. This is truly the start of a whole new dimension of our movement.
WOA is seeking to raise AU$ 5 million to build this food and regenerative agriculture movement and strives for long-term, sustainable financial returns for their shareholders. Through their vertically-integrated business model that includes regenerative land management, protected cropping and a food brand called Food for Reasons™. The funding will be used to grow these business streams.
Regenerative land management
Through its farmland management business, WOA intends to use off balance sheet funding from family offices, impact investors and pension funds to purchase undervalued agricultural land assets. WOA earns an annual management fee to act as the asset manager and will collaborate with experienced farmers to employ regenerative farming practices. This will generate sustainable annual revenue and increase the value of land assets over time. WOA currently already owns and manages 310 hectares of farmland in East Kulinbah, Western Australia, and intends to expand its farmland management business upon completion of the IPO.
WOA grows premium quality vegetables using innovative protected cropping technology that eliminates many of the risks associated with traditional open-field farming, such as frost, extreme heat and hail. Meanwhile optimising harvesting conditions to maximise crop yield and minimise water use. WOA’s 5,000 sqm pilot site in Arthur River has successfully proven that high value produce can be grown in the Wheatbelt climate, previously only considered suitable for broad acre cropping. The protected cropping technology is widely used in warm weather horticulture regions in North and South America to produce a range of fruit and vegetable produce.
Food for Reasons brand
WOA has established distribution and marketing channels in Western Australia through its Food for Reasons brand™. Sales of fresh premium produce from WOA’s protected cropping operations began in April 2017 through online, retail and wholesale avenues. WOA also aims to market and distribute premium value-added products, utilising existing cereals and livestock products from Wheatbelt producers. These products will be marketed as a premium product and will leverage consumer demand for high-quality, healthy food with Wheatbelt provenance. As the protected cropping operations expand across multiple sites in the Wheatbelt and the packaged food line grows, WOA will expand its distribution to the Eastern states of Australia and Asia.
We believe an investment in Wide Open Agriculture is an expression of love for rural communities, Wheatbelt ecosystems and a healthy dash of new hope for the world! | agronomy |

A key problem with biofuels – which have been more accurately named ‘agrofuels’ by some experts – is that they require large amounts of plant material to produce. This plant material requires an incredible amount of land on which to grow.
In the past few years, as our reliance on fossil fuels such as oil has become impossible to maintain, there has been a move by western governments and businesses to expand the production of biofuels to provide renewable fuel for global industries. By 2020, in just over 11 years time, 10% of all the transport fuel used in Europe is targeted to come from biofuel sources.
Similar targets set in the USA say it will produce 35 billion gallons of biofuels annually by 2020. To fulfil this ambitious goal, nearly all of the corn and soy harvested in North America would need to be subverted to biofuel production. And Europe would only be left with 30% of its land to grow crops for food. Estimates say that around 75% of the increase in food prices seen in recent years has been due solely to the expansion of biofuels.
As a solution to this problem, more affluent countries have commissioned biofuel crop products that they then intend to use as the raw materials for biofuel production from low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and South America. Brazil is already very well known from its production of biofuels from sugar cane and other countries are following in its footsteps.
Land Use Conflicts
One of the most worrying aspects of the increase in biofuel production is the pressure that it will put on land. Some areas of rich forest will no doubt be cleared to make more space to grow cash crops. There will also be a conflict between the local people who belong to companies who are offering employment in the area and who want to use land for biofuel crops and individuals and organisations who want to grow food crops.
It does not make sense for a rural community in Africa to use the majority of its land to grow sugar cane to fuel cars in US and European cities while its own people, who probably don’t even own a car, go without food.
Although proponents of biofuels argue that the influx of new investment into poorer areas of the world will have a benefit in terms of job creation and more disposable income, critics say that it will force people to leave their land and will actually cause more poverty.
It has also been suggested that genetically engineering crops to produce the plant components that make better biofuels will make land use more efficient. However, genetically engineered plants are not well understood with respect to their impact on the environment, so this seems an uncertain solution. Contamination of local environments may cause problems that we cannot even anticipate.
Will Biofuels Reduce Global Warming?
Although biofuels are renewable and they are made from plants, which release oxygen into the atmosphere and take in carbon dioxide, the process of developing them may not help with global warming at all. The process of recovering the useful components from the plant material and converting the raw chemicals into hydrocarbons that can be used as clean and efficient fuels is a complex one. It is also very inefficient. Some experts have calculated that producing a gallon of fossil fuels requires much more than one gallon of oil – which completely defeats the objective.
In order to grow the crops required for the production of biofuels, other resources are also used which create environmental emissions. Fertilisers derived from petroleum, one of the fractions of crude oil, are used in great quantities to maximise the crop yields of plants used in biofuel production. Emissions of nitrous oxide also increase and this gas also acts as a greenhouse gas in the same way as carbon dioxide. Unfortunately, nitrous oxide is 300 times worse for its capacity to warm the Earth.
Is There a Future for Biofuels?
Possibly, even though agrofuels may eventually be outlawed. Some researchers are looking into the possibility of producing fuels using microbes, particularly blue green algae. These can be grown in great vats of liquid nutrient, so do not require an increase in land-use. If the culture conditions, the right species of algae and the chemical processes required to turn them into fuel can be perfected, this might provide a much more sustainable solution to the global fuel crisis. | agronomy |

The foundation assists the community in two areas of livelihood namely potato farming and freshwater fish farming. Both areas of livelihood have been in good progress.
For freshwater fish farming, the harvest had been carried out earlier. Meanwhile, the potato farms just started harvesting on the 11th of February 2023. In that first harvest, the farmers invited representatives of the Scorpion Foundation to witness their success in managing the farm.
For the first harvest they produced 1,5 tons of potatoes which they immediately sold at IDR10,000 per kilogram. Thus, from the first harvest they earned IDR 15,000,000. The proceeds from the sales of the potatoes were divided equally by the members of the farmers group.
The Scorpion Foundation assists the community in intensive agricultural development by increasing agricultural productivity without expanding land. From the start they had made a commitment not to expand their land nor to encroach on the orangutan habitat around them.
The potato farming community is a member of two farmers’ groups in Ramba Sihasur village, namely MAWAR farmers’ group, and the SUBUR farmers’ group. About 50% of program participants are women.

Grass-cycling is the practice of recycling your lawn’s grass clippings by leaving them on your lawn instead of raking or bagging them for disposal. The shredded clippings then decompose and return moisture and nutrients to the lawn. By simply leaving the clippings on your lawn you can: reduce mowing time; save money; and reduce waste. You don’t need a special lawn mower to do grass-cycling. Just remove the grass catcher from your mower and you’re ready to grass-cycle.
Just keep in mind the following tips: · Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height in a single mowing, otherwise, you’ll end up with messy clumps of grass clippings on the lawn. Adjust you mower blade height to approximately 3”—4” for summer mowing. The height may be lowered to about 2” for spring and fall mowing. Keeping your grass height higher also has the effect of shading out weeds in the lawn. · Mow when the grass is dry. This will help avoid clumps of grass being left on the lawn. · NOTE: If you do have a wet or taller growing patch of lawn and your mower leaves grass clumps behind, mow over the clippings a second time to further shred them. · Keep your mower blade sharp. A dull blade will tear the grass blades and leave ragged edges that will appear brownish. JUST THINK: A typical 40-foot by 100-foot lawn (4,000 square feet) produces about 1,200 pounds – nearly 50 bags – of grass clippings each year!!! Think of the time, money, and effort it takes to bag all those clippings. Why go through all that hassle when it’s not necessary? Start grass-cycling now. | agronomy |

Continuing my journey on technology and farming this sculpture was inspired by the evolution of corn. Corn is a staple crop that’s importance lies on feeding the world. As the human population continues to rise we depend on farmers to increase global food production.
Farmers have been selecting the most productive plants and seeds from their crops for thousands of years. In the last quarter century, scientists have begun selecting productive traits at the individual gene level to create new seeds. Science has become the new machine farmers use to increase crop yields. But with this new machine, scientists have created corn plants that are no longer self-sustainable. It is now believed that if farmers stopped planting seeds tomorrow, corn would cease to exist.
“Corn Fields” sculpture represents the force between nature and science. Cables with wood pieces are woven through the structure representing genetic modification of the seed. The wood pieces symbolize the original seed thus creating the web of life.
This sculpture was inspired by Washington Irving’s Legend of Sleepy Hollow, weaving the region’s history of folk tales together with superstitions. Sleepy Hollow is known as the region of shadows and for the witching influence of the air. The best known celebration of this time of year stems from the Celtic festival of Samhain, where Celtic people had celebrations to ward off wandering ghosts. In the 19th century, the Irish immigrants brought this festival to America, which developed into Halloween. “The Legend” represents the love triangle that was the core theme in the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The shapes of the horse’s head and hooves symbolizes not only the horse of Ichabod and the ghost of the Headless Horseman but also the dichotomy of America and Europe, a correlating theme Irving used throughout the essay. The sides of the sculpture are woven with wood and glass. The wood representing the vine of the pumpkin and the glass representing the pumpkin, the same as the Celtic legends have been woven into our culture. “The Legend” stands upright allowing the viewer to see shadows through the openings created by the different dimensions. These shadows create the bewitching feeling of the legend. Your eye ends at the top of the sculpture with a reflective metal pumpkin head bringing to the conclusion the complexity of Sleepy Hollow.

We loved meeting so many amazing food crafters, tasting their winning entries and hearing wisdom-filled speeches by Alice Waters, Madhur Jaffrey, Good Food Foundation Director Sarah Weiner, Bi-Rite owner Sam Mogannam and various GFA winners. Christina Joy Neumann, Apoidea’s owner and beekeeper, was honored to give a speech on behalf of the Honey Category winners. Apoidea received the 2018 Award for its Allegheny Fall Fallopia Wildflower Honey, three years after being recognized as a 2015 Good Food Award winner for its Allegheny Knotweed Rosemary-Infused honey. Apoidea was a 2017 Good Food Award Finalist for its Allegheny Spring Tree Blossom Honey.
Honoring products that embody both culinary excellence and environmental responsibility, Good Food Award judges select by blind-tasting samples from thousands of entrants in an effort to recognize superior craftsmanship in 15 categories ranging from cheeses to spirits to honey ( www.goodfoodawards.org). Winning honey must be 100% transparently sourced from the apiary named on the label and made without the use of antibiotics, high fructose corn syrup feed or prophylactic disease treatments administered without proper testing. In addition, the hives of Good Food Award-winning honey cannot be located within a five-mile radius of crops that receive heavy usage of agrochemicals to prevent excessive pesticide exposure.
As a two-time Good Food Award winner and passionate advocate for change in the honey industry, Christina Neumann was chosen to deliver acceptance remarks at the award ceremony in San Francisco. Her comments can be read at this link: 2018 Honey Category. You can listen to all the speeches during the evening at this link: 2018 Good Food Awards Recording. The Honey Category starts at around the 1 h.:23 m.:00 s. point in the ceremony. Eleanor Gease for Each Peach Market in Washington, DC announced the category winners. Christina used her speech as an opportunity to thank the Good Food Foundation for setting high quality standards in the honey industry where wholesomeness is often taken for granted and words such as “local” and “sustainable” are thrown around with little accountability. Christina also reiterated the importance of treating bees humanely and making their best interest a priority when growing a honey business.
Apoidea is an urban apiary ranging seasonally from 50-80 hives and located within a 10 mile radius of downtown Pittsburgh. The ecological mission of the apiary is grounded in a recognition of the intimate and amazing symbiosis between hard-working bees and Western Pennsylvania’s diversity of flowering plants. Both the 2015 and 2018 Good Food award-winning honeys were crafted by Apoidea’s bees working the late-season blooms along the banks of the Allegheny River between Etna and Millvale, Pennsylvania. Apoidea’s founder, Christina Joy Neumann, regards both Good Food Award winning honeys as “validation of the unique flavors created by the mix of fall wildflowers that bloom along the banks of our three rivers which help create a distinctly Western Pennsylvania terroir.” | agronomy |

For 8 years we have planted our garden in the backyard, planting your traditional garden plot in rows of corn, beans, zucchini etc. Glenn has played around with the garden watering trying to get to the most bang for our buck but if you know Central Oregon the watering is one of the many challenges you come across in your garden. Just to list a few; cold nights, short growing season like under 50 days, deer, rabbits this is what makes up gardening in the high desert of Oregon.
The above link is what we used as "guidelines". Those of you that know my Husband will understand what I mean. Our good friend Lisa was over for the weekend, she got to see 1st hand Glenn and I trying to get the 1st box built. After we were well on our way Lisa states that most people hire out to have this done or buy kits. My only comment to you my dear friend is "now do you really think we are like most people"?
I am please to say we are 1/2 way done with the 3 boxes we are building this year deciding to build the next 3 in 2012 for a total of 6 boxes. Moving the boxes to the front yard is a good decision but pulling up sod is a killer. My core muscles are so sore, but I guess that is a good thing right. Every night since we have started this project both Glenn and I are popping aspirin for our aches and pains, it is so silly getting old and what you have to put up with isn't it.
If I could see into future I would say the 3rd week of June will be the date I can sit back and wait for the seeds and baby plants to start growing. That is my personal goal to have this all completed. If you are wondering what we are going to do with the huge garden space in the backyard, we are turning it into a small field of wild flowers mixed with sunflowers it will be a sight to behold so you can be sure I will be posting some wonderful photos for you to enjoy.
|Getting started is the easy part!|
|One frame built.|
|Pulling up sod, Google it, they make it sound so easy. Just do this they say, oh the pain it puts on your body:(...|
|All 3 frames built as I type 2 frames have sod removed, 1 frame has its mixture of dirt in it, just waiting to be planted.|
|Remember to mix your dirt you buy from the dirt place with peat moss. What is peat moss anyways??|
|I don't like that old sod, it is going to the dump.|

I've grown but still am, never done.
Don't expect me to know what the tree knows,
don't expect me to understand how she's felt.

And still shine with the chlorophyll sheen.
Don't ask me to know where the wind goes,

my stem's yet to bistre and thicken.

Precision Agriculture is a methodology of farm management that relies on data, and data analysis to support the farmer’s decision-making process to decrease inputs.
The origin of Precision Agriculture begins with researchers collecting soil samples, and using spatial statistics methods to determine the different soil types in a field. From this analysis, the researchers developed soil maps. Farms were early adopters of both GPS and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies. As civilian GPS became more accurate, farms started to utilize this technology to increase the accuracy of operational spatial data. Collecting spatial data from equipment and sensors that allowed farms to pinpoint the high yield areas. Also, using GPS data to determine where to increase or decrease pesticides, fertilizers use and irrigation.
Software as a Farm Input
The business case for Precision Agriculture methods is the reduction of farm inputs. Farm inputs range from equipment, seeds, pesticides to energy. In turn a reduction in farm inputs reduces the overall cost to produce a harvest.Modern farm inputs include an Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem - networks of advanced sensors, auto guided driving tractors (harvesting both crops and data), servers and drones. Furthermore, data purchased is also a farm input. The data purchased by the farm assist in the planning and execution of the harvest, such as weather feeds, and satellite imagery.
Harvesting, Both Crops and Data
During planting and harvest, these farm inputs yield more data for the farm to analyze. Location of tractors and their status, drone flights to find areas of crops under duress and the yields of individual fields. Smaller farms may only generate a few hundred rows of data a day, while a large farm could generate billions.According to Business Insider, the amount of data generated by the farm will dramatically increase over the next 20 years.
As the amount of data the farm generates increase, data management and analysis becomes more difficult and costly.
Open Source Software, and Farming
Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) technology can play a role in reducing the cost of software inputs, and allow farms to analyze and visualize their data.
Two LocationTech software projects, hosted at the Eclipse Foundation, can assist farms with the analysis of large amounts of spatial data: LocationTech GeoMesa and LocationTech GeoTrellis.
GeoMesa brings spatiotemporal analytics and visualizations to Accumulo, a scalable data storage and retrieval system. Farms that leverage GeoMesa will be able to perform large scale analysis on their vector data. Vector data is normally collected by sensors and tractors - general operational data. Vector data can also include weather reports, and any data that has been converted from raster to vector.
By giving the farm the ability to process these massive operational data sets, insights into the impact of the day to day operations on the harvest become clearer. These analyses will give the farm a better understanding of how to manage operations and apply these lessons learned to the next harvest season.
To learn more about GeoMesa, read this article.
GeoTrellis can batch process massive amounts of raster data. With daily satellite updates, and on the fly drone collection, the amount of raster data collected by farms has never been greater.
By using GeoTrellis a farm can analyze vast amounts of raster data at a low cost. This will help the farm identify where plants are under duress or which areas are being over or under irrigated. Through the processing of this raster data, the farm will better understand trouble spots, and can investigate those targeted areas.
To learn more about GeoTrellis, read this article.
Smaller farms can also benefit by using FOSS4G technology. Farms with a web based GIS can use Geoserver to generate and maintain web maps and applications. Postgres/PostGIS can provide spatial data management and geoanalytics of farm data.
For day to day desktop spatial analysis, a farm could use QGIS or gvSIG. Both of these desktop applications can perform robust geospatial analytics and generate maps.
By reducing the costs of their software inputs to perform both large and small scale geoanalytics and visualizations, the farm will be able to increase the performance of their operations and increase efficiencies.
If FOSS4G technology in agriculture interests you, I invite you to the first FOSS4AG Day. On May 17th, 2018 in St Louis. FOSS4AG will be part of the community day for FOSS4G NA 2018, May 14-16, 2018. | agronomy |

We can move California agriculture towards carbon neutrality.
Over a quarter of California’s total land mass is dedicated to farming and ranching. Agriculture is currently a net-emitter of greenhouse gases and has a fraught relationship with the state’s limited water resources. Large agricultural operations can be a major source of local air pollution, pose significant risk of contamination of water resources due to runoff, and contend with increasingly limited water resources.
With adequate financial, technical and research investments alongside regulations that promote health and equity, California can move agriculture towards carbon neutrality by 2030 and carbon-negative by 2035. We can achieve this by shifting to regenerative and sustainable agricultural practices, eliminating the use of toxic pesticides, and addressing racial and economic disparities in access to healthy food. | agronomy |

EM are a group of heterogeneous microorganisms composed primarily of Photosynthetic bacteria, Ray fungi, Yeast, and Lactic acid bacteria, that affect the world of nature in a positive manner. These organisms are soil-borne, free-living and of the beneficial type. “By extension, EM is also the term applied to the liquid concentrate comprising very large numbers of such effective microorganisms that have been extracted from the natural world and coexists harmoniously in a liquid state” (Higa, 1994).
EM research and application was started in Japan by Dr. Teruo Higa through his research efforts in reducing the over dependence of Japanese farmers on ultimately destructive harmful chemical fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and pesticides being currently used. He eventually concluded that microorganisms of different strains determine the quality, whether good or bad, of the receiving environment. Dr. Higa’s EM are comprised of 80 different strains taken from 10 distinct genera belonging to five different families. It can exist in both aerobic and anaerobic states (with and without air) and can easily be produced from household organic wastes and a little dose of EM liquid concentrate. EM in liquid form is formed at high pressure with a pH of 3.5.
The applications of EM are numerous and can raise the quality of life anywhere and with minimal investment. It raises agricultural productivity, provides an alternative to solid wastes and wastewater disposal and management, makes the livestock industry a cleaner and more efficient industry and can basically improve the health and hygiene of communities and of farm animals- all through natural means. The technology is currently being employed in 51 countries worldwide, including Japan, United States, Brazil, Thailand and now in the Philippines.
2.0 Application/ Current Uses
EM was initially developed and used as a microbial inoculant for soil conditioning and agriculture throughout the 1970s and 1980s but at the experimental and research stage. It was found to be an “effective tool for manipulating and managing the overall microbial ecology of complex and diverse systems” (EMTech). EM is a versatile technology and can be used in soil conditioning, crop and livestock production, aquaculture, bioremediation of industrial wastes, and as a de-odorizer in markets, homes, offices, garbage transfer stations and landfills.
A number of farms planted to rice, vegetables, sugarcanes, banana and other crops are currently using EM and there are testimonies that harvests have increased, produce were of high and safe quality and soils became more productive have been gathered. In addition, many livestock raisers (poultry, swine, quail) are using EM as feed and water additive, deodorizer and as an important ingredient in organic fertilizer production. EM is also used by operators in prawn, bangus, tilapia and lapu-lapu production in many areas of the country, whether in cages, fishponds or in brackish culture. Many progressive local government units, including those in Metro Manila, are utilizing EM technology as a deodorizer of solid wastes in transfer stations and in landfills.
3.0 How does EM work?
During the last 50 years, microorganisms have been used extensively to advance medical technology, improve human and animal health, make food processing efficient and safe, advance genetic engineering and agricultural technology, contribute to environmental protection, and more recently, effectively treat and manage agricultural and municipal wastes. These have been well documented. The success is possible because certain microorganisms interact in a positive or beneficial manner in the environment they are in, be it, the soil, flora, fauna, water or air. (Parr,1995). Controlling diseases or pathogens in the receiving environment and decomposing wastes pollutants are significant contributions of beneficial microorganisms.
In developing EM, Dr. Teruo Higa has been able to isolate over 80 different strains of effective microorganisms/ beneficial taken from 10 distinct genera belonging to five different families. It is precisely this heterogeneity among the various microorganisms that give EM its amazing and wide-ranging effects. In fact, no particular limit is placed on the number of microorganisms used in EM. Apart from the advantage of having a heterogeneous group of beneficial microorganisms (EM), it is the regenerative quality of these microorganisms that enable the quality of anything such as the soil, the air or even the human body to be raised to a more positive level.
Another property of EM is that it demonstrates the ability of aerobic (existing with air/oxygen) and anaerobic (without air/oxygen) bacteria to coexist, which, until recently, was thought of to be impossible. Bacteria of opposing types, when together, act in mutually beneficial and complementary manner. Anaerobic bacteria/ microorganisms bring about decay in organic matter; whereas, other types of microorganisms can cause fermentation of the same organic matter, hastening its transformation into useful substances. It is also a very effective anti-oxidant, that is, it has anti-aging and disease-suppressing components by limiting the activities of oxidants (activated oxygen).
Thus, “microorganisms are in abundance everywhere and have a large influence on biological and chemical qualities such as the extent of putrefaction, fermentation, disease and oxidation of any system." (EMTech). EM technology has recognized these properties and is using these properties to raise the overall quality of the environment.
4.0 How effective is EM?
EM is currently being used in 51 countries for a variety of uses delineated above. In livestock production, the use of EM microbial inoculant holds great promise including its effectivity in improving production performance, odor control, waste management, sanitation, and manure fertilizer production. It is also an anti-oxidant. Basically, it:
· eliminates foul odor;
· prevents disease development & epidemic;
· treats waste to pass allowable discharge criteria;
· improves growth rat, increases weaning rate / adult fertility;
· decreases mortality rate;
· improves quality of produce (e.q. taste, texture, smell); and,
· helps convert animal waste into organic fertilizer.
Reports received from a field testing in a hog farm in the Province of Iloilo, Philippines note that the application of EM technology has resulted in a signifcant reduction of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) from an initial level of 4,300 ppm to 165 ppm and then to 90 ppm. Upon recommendation of further aeration of the settling ponds to complement the EM inoculation, the BOD level, after the two-month trial period, was reported at only 3.0 ppm (the DENR standard is 50 ppm). The hog farm did not have a Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) to treat its wastewater. In the Holiday Hills II and Domino Stock and Breeding Farms in the Province of Laguna, Philippines, there has been a noticeable drop in malodor. Last 09 October 2000, Universal Robina Corporation (URC) of the Gokongwei group issued a certification of the successful use of EM in controlling odor from their hog farms.
A five (5)-month study conducted by the International Training Center on Pig Husbandry (ITCPH) in Lipa City, Province of Batangas, Philippines in 1995-1996 concluded that EM was an effective way of improving the production performance of fatteners and that a higher average daily gain and a lower feed conversion ratio can be attained. This was due to the considerable drop in ammonia levels and pathogenic microbial count, the former a significant factor in respiratory problem management and odor problems, the latter a factor in cases of infection (ITCPH: Buizon et.al, 1996)
The cities of Manila and Lipa have likewise recently issued (23 and 07 August 2000 respectively) certifications as to the use and effectiveness of EM in deodorizing and disinfecting the solid wastes (garbage) being collected daily.
In farming, experiments in other countries have demonstrated the effectiveness of EM in controlling erosion, reducing irrigation, increasing higher water infiltration and water holding capacity, reducing compaction of the soil, suppressing attack by soil pathogens, reducing use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, herbicides etc. Agricultural products such as vegetables, citrus, rice, cut-flowers, wheat, peas, bamboo, banana etc. have been experimented on with the use of EM. Experiments in the use of EM for golf courses have been successful in golf courses both in the U.S. and here in the Philippines.
5.0 Is EM safe?
EM has been thoroughly tested in most countries where it is in use. In the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has categorized all microorganisms in EM as generally recognized as safe (GRAS); while the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has categorized most of the microorganisms as food grade microorganisms (EMTech).
In the Philippines, the Clinical Laboratory Report (05 May 1995) of the Toxicity Test issued by the Director of Bureau of Animal Industry, Department of Agriculture stated that the Kyusei EM-1 Liquid and EM Bokashi (solid), had “no untoward effect on laboratory animals. All inoculated mice were apparently healthy and alive.” The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of EM produced in the U.S. is enclosed.
Kyusei EM-1 is currently being produced here in the Philippines, utilizing locally available substrates. The original “seed” comes from Japan. The “seed” is composed of live beneficial microorganisms carefully selected from the list of the so called 2000 “beneficial microorganisms”. The National Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (BIOTECH), University of the Philippines at Los Baños, the accountable agency mandated by the Philippine government to handle products of this kind, tested/evaluated Kyusei EM-1 and found out that this microorganisms are the same, types of microorganisms found in the soils, regardless of the country of origin.
EM has successfully passed the standards in the United States of America where the environmental concern is far advanced than any other countries in the world. The Agricultural Research Service of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has conducted laboratory, greenhouse and field tests with Kyusei EM-1 and has found it to be a mixed culture of common microorganisms often found in agricultural soils including mainly Lactobacillus spp., photosynthetic bacteria, yeast and actinomycetes (Parr, J. F., 1995). These microorganisms are not “engineered” nor the exotic types, and are not known to be harmful to plants, animals or humans.
Research conducted by scientists in other countries, including the Asia-Pacific region, has shown that EM is very useful in rehabilitating deteriorated soils brought about by intensive cultivation and application of harmful agricultural chemicals. This has led to the proliferation of the pathogenic types of microbes, as manifested by the occurrence of diseases in plants and animals.
Several scientists in different countries have shown that the application of EM improved the microbial diversity in agricultural soils and even improved the population of inherent beneficial microbes therein. This shows that EM cannot cause the extinction of any inherent microbe in a certain locality. Besides microbial taxonomy is generally not based on locality. A Lactobacillus acidophilus found in Japan or in the United States of America is the same Lactobacillus acidophilus that can be found in the Philippines.
Fermentation is essentially an “anaerobic process by which facultative microorganisms (e.g., yeasts) transform complex organic molecules (e.g. carbohydrates) into simple organic compounds that often can be absorbed directly by plants.” The process yields a relatively small amount of energy compared to aerobic decomposition, which results in complete oxidation that releases large amounts of energy, gas, heat with carbon dioxide and water. Putrefaction is somewhat the reverse of fermentation in which “facultative heterotrophic microorganisms decompose proteins anaerobically, yielding malodorous incompletely oxidized, metabolites (e.g. ammonia, mercaptans and indole) that are often toxic to plants and animals.” (Higa and Parr, 1994)
Activated oxygen attacks the cell by oxidizing the unsaturated fatty acid to lipid peroxide which causes the cell membrane to malfunction. Oxidation is the process by which a molecule gives up electrons and become unstable. Thus, in the cell membrane, oxidation causes the unsaturated fatty acids to give up its electrons, and consequently, its stability.

(Turning a weedpatch into a garden)
Updated: 10:06 - 26/10/2002
This year our daughter Crystal started her second year of her university
course, and moved into a rented house with 3 other students.
To my surprise and delight she said that she wanted to 'do something' with
the garden! It's only taken 21 years for someone else in my family to take
an interest in gardening, and so I very quickly said that we would be
delighted to go up and give her a hand.
Bearing in mind that in the end
she will be leaving everything behind for someone else's benefit - or left
to revert to weeds if the next tenants are not garden minded we did not
want to spend a lot.
Apart from a few 'cheap to clear' plants and other odds and ends, all the
plants were cuttings or divisions from my own garden.
We bought a large bag of potting compost, bonemeal and 6X, a bag each of
40 mm pebbles, pea gravel and agricultural grit. With the few plants I
bought it came to about £20.00 . We loaded up the car with the plants,
compost etc., and some gardening tools and set off one Sunday morning
in the pouring rain.
We arrived about 12:30pm - it was still raining. However we bravely donned
wellies and raincoats and set to work to dig out the weeds, of which there
were plenty. They were big ones too! We used some old wood to concoct a
makeshift compost heap, so that we had somewhere to chuck all the
While digging out the weeds we uncovered a little area sectioned off by
two rows of bricks. I thought this would be ideal for a mini vegetable
patch. My daughter had said she wanted some edible stuff in the garden,
and so I had taken up 3 cabbage plants, a few baby leeks, and a few onion
sets. These were promptly planted in the mini veg. patch.
Half the garden is paved with slabs, then a slabbed path leads off the
patio down the middle of the rest of the garden. To soften the edges a
bit we filled in the corners of the beds either side of the path with
pebbles, which we laid on a piece of weed suppressing sheeting.
| Crystal meanwhile busied herself making a brick circle outside the garden
shed, which at the moment is full of junk, but the students hope to
eventually be able to keep their bikes in there. As a result of making
the brick circle we ended up with a pile of excess soil. Utilising more
of the wood laying around we quickly concocted a little raised alpine
bed. Crystal planted this up with a few sedums and sempervivums, and with
a Georgia Blue Veronica and a purple toadflax to trail over the front edge
it should look very pretty next summer. She finished the surface off with
the pea gravel.
While she was busy doing that I got the rest of the plants in. A couple of
ferns and a scented violet plant on the shadier side. On the sunnier side a
buddliah, some montbretia, a few little hebes, some "Oriental Limelight" for
nice contrasting foliage interest, a geum, a speckled violet called
"Freckles", a mini rose (one of my "cheap to clears"!), Michaelmas daisy,
some dwarf crysanthemums, a few ornamental grasses and other odds and ends.
Then finally I filled in some of the spaces with a few wallflowers.
| Most of what we put in will die back in the winter, and so apart from
a bit of cutting back it will be fairly low maintenance - very important
for busy students!
Hopefully it will look very pretty next summer, and will be much nicer
surroundings for the B.B.Q.'s they hope to have than the weed patch that
I also took a pot of herbs for a housewarming present. It contains sage,
rosemary chives and thyme. This of course she will be able to take with
her when she leaves. She hopes to plant up a few more pots to brighten
up the rather large patio area. It means that any plants she really doesn't
want to leave can move with her.

It’s closed the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a moves that cuts farmer’s off from vital funding they need to continue operations.
Sammy and Jerry Wooten grow cotton and peanujts in Denton in Jeff Davis County. The cousins work two thousand acres between them, but they say they can’t access money from their last harvest, a harvest hurt by Hurricane Michael, because the Farm Service Agency where they could tap into their harvest revenues is closed. ” It’s just devastating, ya’ know? We didn’t have but a half a crop to start with and, and, now we can’t even get our money for the half a crop we did rate, gather, ya’ know. But people just got to understand they can’t get their money until we get our money,” Sammy Wooten said. His cousin Jerry adds, “We’ve used up all our equity. We borrowed money on what we did have and now we ’bout to the limit of borrowing money….uh…we need some help really and truly. The farmers, if they don’t get some help, they gonna be out,” Jerry said.
Brandon Kirkland, a farmer from nearby Broxton, says he’s waiting for crop storm damage recovery funds, but the fight in Washington over border wall funding closed his local FSA, where he could collect the recovery funds, “With it being shutdown, it’s holding up progress to get bills paid up that we owin’ right now and um we need the government to open back up,” Kirkland said. Farmers say the partial shutdown is bringing federal farm aid to a full halt and it hurts them a little more each day it continues. Right now there is no end in sight to this partial government shutdown. | agronomy |

Thought I'd give it a shot, had just replaced my sod that was killed by dog #2. I was just starting to see the urin was going to be killing our new sod, so I sprayed the area with this product. It definitely did not work, and to top it off it attracted bees who decided to then create a hive in our yard! Would not recommend this produce, our new sod is toast already.

How is Vintage 2015 looking in the Margaret River region?
The season started early with some varieties reaching pre-flowering phenological milestones at record calendar dates. A mild windy November followed, putting the brakes on the development of many blocks across the region. As a result the flowering period took several weeks to complete and subsequently there is some bunch variability in most canopies. Extended flowering periods are often associated with berry shatter and hen and chicken and this can be seen widely in the region. The extended duration from berry set to pea-sized berries also left the young crops vulnerable to pests, such as looper, weevil, mealy bug and light brown apple moth. Despite these ever present challenges the result is reasonably loose bunches in reds and the high levels of hen and chicken in chardonnay, which are likely to result in exceptional quality wines.
How would you describe the lead up to this vintage?
The second half of December saw a return to some ideal ripening weather and this has continued into the start of January. Some early veraison has been seen in around the region and the “Growing Degree Day” index was “783” on the 6 January 2015, lying in-between 2008 and 2013 measurements.
Has there been anything unusual/interesting about this season to date?
The mild windy conditions that prolonged the flowering period have caused poor set in many blocks and this is likely to reduce average bunch weights. We are predicting that many crops will be lighter in volume than long term averages.
Any predictions for harvest?
The variability in phenology will make fruit maturity sampling difficult and care will need to be taken to ensure samples represent an accurate measurement of the block. If warm to hot conditions persist harvest will be in line with the last five vintages.
What should pests and diseases should growers be looking out for as the harvest nears?
As vintage approaches care needs to be taken that the agro-chemicals used are in accordance with either the AWRI Dog Book or your winery’s specifications. As we approach veraison blocks should be carefully monitored for any presence of powdery mildew and mealy bug populations. Post veraison crop risks will be more associated with silver eye damage, bunch rots and secondary infections of sooty mould that is associated with mealy bugs.
What is keeping AHA Viticulture busy at the moment?
At this time of year AHA Viticulture is busy in our management vineyards finishing canopy management passes and getting ready to apply bird nets to high pressure areas. We are also on the road giving viticultural consultancy to other vineyards as we all approach the most critical time of the year.

Best of luck for a successful harvest. | agronomy |

Immerse yourself in the vibrant food traditions of the Native American Southwest, where culinary delights meet cultural heritage. From the arid deserts to the towering mountains, the region’s indigenous communities have developed a unique and nourishing dietary approach that has shaped their lives for centuries.
The Native American Southwest diet is centered around the use of whole, unprocessed foods, such as corn, beans, squash, and wild game. These foods are rich in nutrients and have been cultivated and harvested in the region for thousands of years. However, modern dietary influences have brought challenges to the traditional diet, leading to higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and other health concerns.
To combat these issues, there has been a growing movement to return to the traditional dietary practices of the Native American Southwest. This approach emphasizes the consumption of locally grown foods, including traditional vegetables and meats, as well as the use of traditional cooking methods, such as pit roasting and grilling. By embracing this cultural culinary heritage, individuals can improve their health and well-being while also preserving the region’s rich traditions.
The Native American Southwest diet is more than just a way of eating; it is a reflection of the symbiotic relationship between the people and the land. It is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the indigenous communities that call this region home. By exploring and embracing this culinary tradition, we can not only enrich our palates but also honor the wisdom and heritage of the Native American Southwest.

Tortillas: Thin, unleavened flatbreads made from corn or wheat flour.
The Role of Ceremony and Ritual
Food played a significant role in Native American ceremonies and rituals. Feasts were held to celebrate special occasions, such as harvests and weddings. These gatherings allowed the community to come together and share their bounty.
Health Benefits of Native American Foods
The Southwest diet is rich in nutrients and offers numerous health benefits:
Fiber: Corn, beans, and squash provide dietary fiber, which promotes satiety and supports gut health.
Protein: Beans and amaranth are excellent sources of protein, essential for building and repairing tissues.
Vitamins and Minerals: Chiles and nopales contain antioxidants and vitamins, such as vitamins A, C, and E.
Low in Saturated Fat: Native American dishes are typically low in saturated fat, reducing the risk of heart disease.

There are some important points to note when using feed mixers. The first of these is mixing time. It is the ideal way to make a controlled mixing because it will vary depending on the mix used and the power of the machine. Another important issue is the order and content of the mixture. At the time of preparing the oath, it is necessary to chop the dried rough foods such as stalks in the first place. Since dry and leafy grasses such as alfalfa are fragile, they lose their ability to become bait by comminution when they are first taken into the machine.

This time of the year isn’t just a season for us. It’s a celebration of family, farming, and the rich Gallagher traditions that make our wines exceptional.
There’s something magical about all the activity on the farm as our family and team come together to harvest the many fruits from the year’s careful cultivation. To see the clusters of sun-ripened grapes on the vines waiting to be gathered and made ready to turn into wine.
It’s the culmination of all our farming efforts and traditions – all wrapped up in little round packages of grape skin and juices.
And at the heart of our winery is a commitment to family values and traditions.
Our Family & Team
Rove Winery and all of Gallagher Estate grows and thrives every season because of the people who work the farm.
Without our passionate winemakers, dedicated vineyard workers, and generations of family members, we wouldn’t be able to craft delicious wines or ciders. They’ve all poured their love into the soil and are a part of what makes Rove Winery’s wines so singularly special.
Because of our team’s dedication, we’ve been able to implement sustainable farming practices that help protect the land, the harvest, and our people. They’ve helped Gallagher Estate continue to grow our role of land stewardship.
And we believe you can taste the difference.
Our farming principles guide every decision, from planting to harvest, creating a sense of unity that elevates our wines and brings joy to so many of our loyal guests, wine club members, and dedicated team.
Our Fall Grape Harvest
Our 2023 growing season was really solid.
On average, we get around 2.5 tons of grapes per acre. This year, we’re getting close to 4 tons per acre. Plus, when you add in the additional 5 acres we planted this growing season, that’s a lot of grapes to harvest!
Which is both exciting and a bit nerve-wracking, to be honest.
The gradual warm-up to spring and a very hot, dry summer were ideal for growing this year. September did bring a little rain, but we kept any vineyard diseases under control.
But October can get dicey.
Dry days with sunshine at 50-60° are ideal for the wine grapes. But when frosts start to form or we have a rainy fall session, that’s when seeing those grape-heavy vines goes from exhilarating to worry that we won’t be able to harvest it all in time.
But we believe in your family and team’s ability to come together to bring in most (if not all!) of the harvest to be used in this year’s wine production.
Our 2023 Wines
All of that extra grape tonnage means more flexibility to get creative in the wine cellar. And – bonus! – we can make MORE of our fan-favorite wines.
A great example of this is our estate-grown Sauvignon Blanc. In recent years, we doubled our production and can now offer this Wine Club exclusive wine to everyone this year!
Every day, you’ll find us in the vineyard taking samples and testing grades for ripeness. We look at the brix (sugar content), pH, and acidity values of the grapes. This information helps us decide when to harvest and what type of wines we’ll make.
There is a reason some refer to farming as gambling.
Mother Nature is powerful and has a mind of her own, especially in Northern Michigan. Like any good card player, we watch, wait, and then act.
So we make our plans, but we’re ready to pivot at a moment’s notice.
A normal harvest season can start as early as the end of September – especially if we’re making sparkling wine. And lasts through the first 10 days of November.
This year we started harvest on October 10, 2023.
Our goal is to get everything as ripe as possible before the frost sets in or the days get too wet and chilly.
Our red varietals like a little more sunlight and time on the vine. So we’re hopeful Mother Nature will be on our side and let those grapes ripen to perfection. | agronomy |

Abundance is an important and descriptive concept for Amazonian indigenous peoples. This is related to having generous diversity of food and seeds, as well as a solid management of knowledge related to cultivation (prayers, techniques, care), transformation and culinary knowledge.
In the Amazon, the nutritious food is the one that originates in the territory, that has prayer or singing and it is obtained following the rules of environmental management such as reciprocity and balance. Therefore, abundance is the result of good work in the chagra, in gathering, fishing and hunting, which conserve ecosystems, preserve relationships with non-human entities and guarantee the good use of resources.
Abundance in the chagra
The chagra is the living pantry of the Amazonian peoples and is managed by indigenous women who can have three to four chagras simultaneously, guaranteeing sufficient food for the annual cycle. Each ethnic group cultivates at least 19 varieties of cassava brava, 48 varieties of sweet cassava, 15 varieties of chili, 4 varieties of banana, 6 varieties of pineapple, in addition to yam, sweet potato, dutu, bore, naria among other local tubers, as well as cane, papaya, fruit trees, coca, tobacco and medicinal species that provide food and life to the entire community.
Abundance in fishing
The fishing techniques used by Amazonian men can be classified into traditional or incorporated. The first ones, use traps, bows and arrows, as well as barbecues; while the second ones, although they have been using them for decades, use hooks, nets, harpoons and masks.
The diversity of fish that are part of the diet of these ethnic groups is of extraordinary richness, and because each species has different diets, habitats and chemical compositions, the local diet is characterized by a high diversity of proteins, vitamins and minerals. For example, a single family can consume up to 28 different species over a month, and 41 different species over the annual cycle.
Abundance in harvesting
The diet of Amazonian indigenous peoples is diverse, abundant and sustainable. It consists of cultivated species, fish, hunting fauna and an impressive variety of fungi, insects and berries. The gathering of seasonal insects, larvae, and caterpillars includes a thick, greasy worm, locally known as mojojoy (palm worm) found in the rotten trunks of some palms such as seje palm, asai, chontaduro palm, and moriche.
Abundance in hunting
In the Amazon rainforest, everything belongs to different owners who must be asked permission before taking anything, and, in this case, to hunt. For this, the traditional is in charge of asking for and obtaining these permits, otherwise, guardians send diseases to the community. Among the species that make up the diet of these communities are danta, lapa, churuco, caiman, cerrillo, paujil, gallineta, tin tin and guara, for which the use of blowguns or bows is decreasing and the use of shotgun is increasing. | agronomy |

Planting a bare-root rose. Bare-root roses are greatest planted at the commencing of their dormant period to lessen the shock of transplanting. If the roots search dry, soak them in a bucket of h2o for a handful of several hours before planting. Take away diseased or broken stems, and trim any thick roots by a 3rd. 8 foot metal garden bridge Area the rose in a freshly dug gap, spreading out the roots and examining that the bud union is marginally previously mentioned floor amount. Backfill with soil and h2o extensively.
Plant veggies and flowers that are native to your regional region. These plants will develop better with significantly less operate than crops that are not native. Also, indigenous plants will not likely need much extra watering, as they will normally adapt to the quantity of rain typical to that area. This will also lessen your require for pesticides and fertilizers, given that the vegetation will be in a position to deal with the soil and pests in your spot.

The use of natural crops can make a garden with out any perform. Many crops will self seed and expand a perpetual crop without any perform at all. Butternut squash, pumpkins, and cilantro will grow and self seed increasing new crops 12 months following calendar year with practically no function and turn out to be a long lasting garden feature. Grow them in locations these kinds of as the compost pile or together fences for greatest results.
Not only is gardening a great way to grow your very own food, but you can also develop your very own consume. You can grow apple mint to make a delicious tea or rhubarb stalk to make a tart substitute to lemonade. You should also can or freeze your berries and fruits to make them into soda, challenging cider, or wines.
To destroy off aphids on rose crops, spray them with a powdered milk and drinking water combination (one/three cup powdered milk to one particular quart drinking water). When the combination is sprayed, the aphids get caught in the liquid and at some point die. Each couple of months spray down the roses with drinking water to rinse off the mixture and reapply it if needed.
Put on comfortable footwear and garments when gardening. Never work in the yard in bare feet or sandals. Put on shoes that lace up and give great cushioning and arch support.

The secret behind these lush landscapes may not be traditional sodding or conventional seeding but a unique technique called hydroseeding.
Hydroseeding, often employed by professional hydroseeding services, combines grass seed, water, wood fiber mulch, and other ingredients to create a slurry. This mixture is then sprayed onto prepared soil, providing a green layer that will eventually flourish into a healthy lawn. The hydroseeding process has gained significant traction in places like Gig Harbor and Federal Way, becoming the go-to method for residential customers and business owners looking for a green lawn at an affordable price.
Benefits of Hydroseeding
1. Rapid Germination: The combination of factors in the hydroseed mixture creates an ideal environment for germination. The wood fiber mulch retains moisture and protects the seeds from adverse weather conditions, resulting in faster germination. In fact, under optimal germination conditions, the grass can start sprouting in just a matter of days.
2. Erosion Control: Hydroseeding & bark blowers can be particularly effective on steep banks and areas at risk of erosion. The mulch slurry creates a barrier against erosion, making it a preferable option for erosion control solutions in Pierce, Lewis & South King County areas, especially when compared to traditional methods.
3. Customizable Seed Blends: The hydroseeding mixture can be tailored based on soil conditions and specific needs. Whether it’s for a golf course in Black Diamond or a residential estate in South Hill, the customization of seed blends ensures the grass is suited for its environment.
4. Cost-Effective Option: Hydroseeding offers a beautiful lawn at a fraction of the price of sod. In regions like Federal Way or Port Orchard, where the price of sod can be high, hydroseeding emerges as an economical yet efficient method.
5. Uniform Distribution of Seeds: The art hydroseeding process ensures even distribution of seeds, minimizing the risk of patches or dead seeds. This promises a consistent emerald-green look throughout the lawn.
Hydroseeding vs. Traditional Sodding
While traditional sodding provides an instant lawn, the hydroseed method has its advantages. Lawn hydroseeding services promise less rigorous watering demands and offer a better chance of the grass adapting to the local soil conditions, especially when working with foreign soil types.
Furthermore, the hydroseeding process in areas like Western Washington is a testament to the quality of materials used. The mix often includes wood mulch, which is superior to straw or hay used in traditional methods, helping retain moisture and providing an excellent condition for seed growth.
Applications of Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding isn’t limited to just residential lawns. It’s becoming increasingly popular for larger hydroseeding projects, such as sports fields and ball fields in Pierce County. Places like King County are seeing a rise in its application in golf courses, business landscapes, and multi-purpose pasture areas.
Hydroseeding is also a preferred method for erosion control on slopes. With the threat of soil erosion in areas like Fort Lewis due to adverse conditions like rain, hydroseeding offers an effective erosion control mixture that binds the soil from seed to surface, reducing the risk of erosion.
In conclusion, in a world where everyone is racing against time, hydroseeding presents a fast track to achieving the perfect lawn. With its rapid germination rate, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability, it’s no wonder places from Gig Harbor to Federal Way are opting for this method.
So, the next time you’re in Puyallup or even Tacoma and marvel at an expanse of emerald-green grass, remember the art process behind it. Hydroseeding might just be the secret to that lush landscape.
Your Local Hydroseeding Specialists in Puyallup:

It involves consuming mainly plant-derived foods and eliminating or reducing the consumption of animal products like meat, dairy, and eggs. The shift towards plant-based diets is not only driven by health considerations but also by growing awareness of the environmental impacts of animal-based diets.
Environmental Impact of Animal-Based Diets
Animal agriculture has significant environmental consequences. One of the major concerns is greenhouse gas emissions. Livestock farming releases substantial amounts of methane and nitrous oxide, which are potent greenhouse gases contributing to climate change. Additionally, large-scale livestock farming requires vast amounts of land and water, leading to deforestation, habitat loss, and water scarcity.
Environmental Benefits of a Plant-Based Diet
Adopting a plant-based diet can play a crucial role in mitigating environmental issues. By reducing or eliminating animal product consumption, we can significantly decrease greenhouse gas emissions and the demand for land and water resources. This, in turn, helps preserve forests, biodiversity, and delicate ecosystems.
Promoting Sustainable Agriculture
Transitioning to plant-based diets promotes sustainable agricultural practices. Organic farming methods, for example, prioritize soil health and biodiversity while avoiding harmful pesticides and fertilizers. Crop rotation helps maintain soil fertility and reduces the risk of crop diseases, resulting in more resilient and sustainable food production systems.
Reducing Food Waste
Food waste is a big problem all over the world, and it also hurts the earth. Plant-based diets teach people to eat more mindfully and can help cut down on food waste. People are less likely to eat too much food and waste it if they focus on fruits, veggies, grains, and legumes.
Health Benefits of a Plant-Based Diet
A plant-based diet is good for the earth, but it is also good for your health in many ways. Studies have shown that these diets can improve the health of your heart, help you control your weight, and lower your chance of long-term diseases like type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
In addition to helping the planet, plant-based diets are good for your health. Such diets have been demonstrated to promote cardiovascular health, aid in weight control, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and several forms of cancer.
Accessible and Affordable Plant-Based Diets
Contrary to common misconceptions, plant-based diets can be accessible and affordable. With a variety of plant-based food options available, individuals can find budget-friendly alternatives to animal products without compromising on taste or nutrition.
Tips for Transitioning to a Plant-Based Diet
Transitioning to a plant-based diet can be done gradually. Incorporating small changes, exploring delicious plant-based recipes, and discovering various plant-based protein sources are excellent ways to ease into this lifestyle.
Plant-Based Diets and Global Food Security
As the global population continues to grow, sustainable food production becomes increasingly crucial. Plant-based diets can help address food security challenges by utilizing resources more efficiently and producing more food with less environmental impact.
Environmental Benefits Beyond Diet

Once the call-to-action of governments during World War ll, victory gardening is making a comeback. Victory gardens in suburbia were created in Australia, Britain and the USA during WW ll as a solution to food shortages during the war.
In January 1942 the Prime Minister, John Curtin, launched “Dig for Victory”, a publicity campaign urging householders throughout Australia to grow their own vegetables as a contribution to the war effort. (source: Australian War Memorial)
From this grew the Green Armies - communities banding together through community gardening projects and The Australia Women’s Land Army – where women took over work on farms while men were at war.
|Poster from 2011: The Victory Garden of Tomorrow, Joe Wirtheim|
When I was looking up Victory Gardens, I came across the artwork of US designer, Joe Wirtheim. His project, The Victory Garden of Tomorrow, is a self-commissioned poster campaign designed to: “...channel the bold energy of historical poster propaganda” and is “...committed to civic innovation and social progress-- better food, better gardens, better cities. It is artful advocacy for the modern homefront.”
Joe says: “I believe the spirit and skills of that old generation lay within us today. We simply need to re-deploy ourselves if we are to shape our uncertain destiny.”
Wise words, and I love, love, love his retro-inspired posters. I found them in Joe’s Etsy shop, here.
Tell me, folks, are you gardening for Victory?!
p.s If you are in Canberra over the next couple of weeks and lucky enough to visit the Floriade festival you will see a recreation of a Victory Garden, filled with plants and vegetables grown by Australian families during World War II. I would love to be visiting Floriade, it’s on my list of things to get to one of these years. | agronomy |

Watch, watch, watch this. How our food is causing ALL of these allergies so prevalent in our world today.
I just read an article titled, “Growing Pains: Baby Food Brands Lack in Key Nutrients, Study Finds.” The article states that the leading commercial baby food brands are lacking in some major nutrients. The study did not name the brands, but chose samples from 4 popular baby food brands. The bottom line of the article is that babies who get all of their nutrients from these baby foods could be in store for some developmental and health issues.
Although I make my baby food, I can understand why some do not. It doesn’t take a lot of time, but it takes planning and a little bit of time.
Image: Simon Howden
FreeDigitalPhotos.netBut the main thought I had when I read this article is of the baby food companies who will respond to this report and “fix” their products. Instead of sourcing ingredients that are actually full of these nutrients naturally, most likely they will look to labs to add in these nutrients one at a time. Conventionally produced fruit and vegetables don’t have the nutrients that the organic counterparts do because the soil they are being grown in is nutritionally deprived. When a little seed sprouts in the ground to develop into a plant, where do you think they get the building blocks to get bigger? The soil. If you don’t have healthy soil, you don’t have healthy plants. If you don’t have healthy plants, you don’t have healthy people. PERIOD.
What else do you want to talk about? The use of chemical pesticides in conventional farming decreases the quality of the soil. No good.
For a little more from a founding father of the organic movement, look to Rodale for a history of how J.I. Rodale sought out information about how the health of soil affects all else.
Bottom line. Eat food that is healthy to make you healthy. And right now in the state of food in America, that is ORGANIC.
Now to a neat video by a little girl, demonstrating her finding between conventional & organic: | agronomy |

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Fermented cabbage--otherwise known as sauerkraut--could be even healthier to eat than raw or cooked cabbage, Finnish researchers report.
The investigators found that fermenting cabbage produced a number of different compounds, known as isothiocyanates, which have been shown in test tube and animal studies to prevent the growth of cancer, especially in the breast, colon, lung and liver. Isothiocyanates are found in many foods, including cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and brussels sprouts, and wasabi, a pungent Japanese condiment.
Whether isothiocyanates have similar effects in humans, however, is not clear.
In the current study in the October 23rd issue of the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers analyzed compounds in white cabbage that had been fermented to sauerkraut. Raw cabbage is rich in glucosinolates, another class of cancer-fighting compounds.
According to their experiment, the fermentation process breaks glucosinolate down into isothiocynates and other compounds that may fight cancer. Previous studies have found that isothiocyanates encourage precancerous cells in the digestive system to self-destruct, a process known as apoptosis.
"Our study implies that fermented cabbage can be a good source of plant-derived bioactive compounds such as breakdown products of glucosinolates," Dr. Eeva-Liisa Ryhanen, the study's lead author, told Reuters Health.
"Some of these compounds have shown anticarcinogenic effects in vivo in animal models. To show the anticarcinogenic effects of sauerkraut in humans, clinical studies (in humans) are required," added Ryhanen, from MTT Agrifood Research Finland in Jokioinen.
She said the research team is now investigating ways to optimize the fermentation process so that sauerkraut could be even healthier.

June 02, 2021 | Rajasthan: TAFE - Tractors and Farm Equipment Limited, the world’s third largest tractor manufacturer, in a continuing effort to support the farming community and the Government amidst the second wave of the COVID surge, announced its ‘Free Tractor Rental Scheme’ to support the small farmers of Rajasthan during this critical cropping season.

Over 1 Lakh Hours of free rental service, cultivating over 70,100 acres for small and marginal farmers was provided in Rajasthan alone, and over 213,500 acres were cultivated for free across India last year. This scheme is available from June 1 – July 31, 2021, for a period of 60 days in all the districts of Rajasthan. TAFE will offer over 41,800 Massey Ferguson and Eicher Tractors along with 116,700 implements, on a “free-of-cost” rental basis to small farmers owning 1 hectare or less.

About 'JFarm' and 'JFarm Services': JFarmServices.in
TAFE established JFarm India in Chennai, Tamil Nadu in 1964 with an objective of empowering farmers with advanced farm technologies to increase farm productivity and meet India’s growing food demands. Over the years, JFarm focuses on sustainable agriculture, adapting existing technologies in farming for local farming conditions and sharing this knowledge with farmers.
JFarm Services is an initiative by TAFE to increase easy access to farm mechanization solutions through rental of tractors and farm equipment for small and large farms, localized weather forecast, latest mandi prices, agri-news alerts and advisory.
Small and marginal farmers, who hold about 85% of the land holdings in India may not be able to afford ownership of tractors or implements. JFarm Services bridges this gap by connecting these farmers with tractor and equipment owners through its Farmer-2-Farmer platform. Farmers can explore and book nearby equipment through: https://bit.ly/JFSAppLite
JFarm Services since its creation has impacted the lives of about 26 Lakh farmers across 16 states in India since its inception.

We currently deliver more than 150 bags and boxes weekly and supply local shops and box schemes with our produce.
What is organic?
Organically grown produce is grown without the use of synthetically produced fertilisers or pesticides and relies on cultural methods of maintaining and improving soil fertility. It requires much higher levels of skill and judgement to cope with plant diseases and pests and produces a product that is nutritionally superior, tastier and healthier to the consumer than the synthetically produced alternative.
We follow the teachings of thousands of years of organic husbandry. The beauty of organic horticulture is that all the science involved works. This includes applying manures or composts to the soil, growing green manures for reincorporating into the soil, rotating crops and plant families to deter pests and diseases. It flies in the face of modern practice which is towards monocultures, specialisation and reliance therefore on the chemists box of tricks. Modern agriculture and horticulture has had a catastrophic effect on our environment and wildlife and continues to do so. Organic production seeks to develop healthy soil which is the building block of all higher ecology be that soil bacteria ,soil fungi, invertebrates, birdlife, plant life and indeed the actual crop we are trying to grow.
What do we grow ourselves?
Just about everything with a few exceptions. We are blessed with good soil and high light levels, mildish winters and just about enough rain. This enables us to grow all year round. We always have some of our own produce in our boxes even in February. Where we have short falls we buy in from other registered organic producers. We also sell our excess produce locally.
At Three Oaks Nursery, we grow all our early season crops (March/April/May) such as early lettuce, salad leaf, fennel, mange tout, celery, parsley. These give way to French beans, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, cucumbers, basil etc. Outside we grow lettuce, squash, courgettes, runner beans, leeks, spring onions, celery, fennel, chards, as well as beetroot and lots of green manures.
Our winter crops are grown at Rookery Farm. Here we grow our potatoes, cabbages, purple sprouting, broccoli, cauliflower and an assortment of different kales, swedes, turnips and more beetroot and squash. Our soil doesn’t lend itself to growing good carrots and parsnips so we leave this to growers who are in a better position to grow these types of veg. | agronomy |

The Order of Mapungubwe in
Profile of Patricia Berjak
Patricia Berjak, a world leader in the study of seeds, began her career with a BSc degree at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1962.
She graduated as a biochemist with a first-class BSc (Honours) degree, going on to do Master's research in medicine before realising her calling as a cell biologist focused on seed biology.
Berjak was introduced to the world of seeds and electron microscopy by the biologist-tutor Trevor Villiers in the late 1960s while a young student at the University of Natal.
One of South Africa's few A-rated scientists, she has achieved highly significant breakthroughs in the understanding of the inability of certain seed species to survive for sufficiently long periods in storage, thus undermining food security in the developing world.
Berjak's innovative research has been highly recognised. She is an elected member of the Academy of Science of South Africa, a Fellow of the University of Natal, the Royal Society of South Africa and the Third World Academy of Sciences.
In 2001, Berjak was awarded the Silver Medal of the South African Association of Botanists for research excellence. In 2004, she received the Department of Science and Technology's Distinguished Woman Scientist Award for her consistent contributions to science over her entire career.
Berjak was recently nominated, unopposed, as president-elect of the International Society for Seed Science. She will assume office in 2008.
She asserts that her achievements result from the contributions of many scientists, including her husband Professor Norman Pammenter, who is a top plant scientist himself.
Berjak is committed to the study of seeds. She says the people of Africa, despite their geographical and cultural diversity, are bound together by concerns about food security and the unreliability of rainfall across much of the continent. For her, this makes the scientific study of seeds and their storage an imperative.
Berjak, supported by her research students and other major collaborators, has uncovered much about the nature of recalcitrant seeds to survive for insufficiently short periods in storage.
Based on this knowledge, the group has gone on to refine storage practices; define the role of fungi associated with seed species deterioration; and develop the application of cryobiology principles to the long-term conservation of the plant species that produce recalcitrant seeds.
Recalcitrant seeds, unlike orthodox seeds, are wet and are destroyed when they dry out. Orthodox seeds, for example maize seeds, are dry and can be stored for longer periods before water allows them to germinate and grow into mature plants.
Recalcitrant seeds cannot be stored in the normal kinds of conditions that keep orthodox seeds. Examples of recalcitrant seeds include mangos, litchi, avocados, coconuts, rubber trees, cocoa trees and many plant species used in traditional medicine.
Maize seeds, however, a staple in much of Africa, lose their viability when stored under warm, relatively high humidity conditions that also encourage fatal fungal growth in the seeds.
Berjak's doctoral research discovered the means to substantially reduce fungal growth in maize seeds that result from poor storage conditions. Maize seeds can now be stored for substantially longer periods, especially in regions frequently affected by drought, contributing to better food security.
Berjak's focus also includes saving from extinction the genetic material of the plants used in traditional medicine, among Africa's most valuable and sought-after plants.
Patricia Berjak has devoted her entire career to a priority need of the developing world and has achieved significant success to inspire hope.
At present she continues her work as professor at the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. | agronomy |

A glass jar fulfills all necessary conditions for a compost bin.You need the following ingredients[not necessary to have all of them], these are GREENS OR NITROGEN RICH INGR:
Urine (diluted with water 20:1)
Raw vegetable peelings from your kitchen
Tea bags and leaves, coffee grounds
Young green weed growth – avoid weeds with seeds
Soft green prunings
Animal manure from herbivores eg cows and horses
Poultry manure and bedding
Some other items may be:
Wood ash, in moderation
Hair, nail clippings
Egg shells (crushed)
Natural fibres eg. 100% wool or cotton
BROWNS or carbon rich ingr:
Cardboard eg. cereal packets and egg boxes
Waste paper and junk mail, including shredded confidential waste
Glossy magazines – although it is better for the environment to pass them on to your local doctors’ or dentists’ surgery or send them for recycling
Newspaper – although it is better for the environment to send your newspapers for recycling
Bedding from vegetarian pets eg rabbits, guinea pigs – hay, straw, shredded paper, wood shavings
Tough hedge clippings
Old bedding plants
Fallen leaves can be composted but the best use of them is to make leafmould
DO NOT COMPOST:
Coal & coke ash
You can make compost simply by adding compostable items to a compost heap when you feel like it. It will all compost eventually but may take a long time.To make good compost you need a more or less equal amount of ‘greens’ and ‘browns’ by volume.
Compost can be made in as little as six to eight weeks. In general, the more effort you put in, the quicker you will get compost.
When the ingredients you have put in your container have turned into a dark brown, earthy smelling material, the composting process is complete. It is then best left for a month or two to ‘mature’ before it is used. Don’t worry if your compost is not fine and crumbly. Even if it is lumpy, sticky or stringy, with bits of twig and eggshell still obvious, it is quite usable. It can be sieved before using if you prefer. Any large bits can be added back into your new compost heap.
You may just need a garden fork to spread the compost.
gud luck wiv the process!
just mix it daily
I thought it was cow poop. and was going to tell you to poop in a jar. But my husband informed me that it is rotting/decaying vegetation. So put banana peels and stuff in the jar.
You need a big jar and you are going to have to give it some air. And to work right, you need some microbes from the soil outside and/or manure. You might not want this on the kitchen counter! Outdoors, bugs and worms help too. When a compost pile is working with the right ingredients of green matter, brown matter, soil, water and air, it won’t smell bad. If you close up all these things in a jar, you are apt to get some bad smelling fermentation.

The waste heat installation Oasis No. 8 implemented in 2015, is situated in a vacant lot in the city of Graz. Powered by the waste heat of refrigeration units from a local Pizzeria and a local bakery it creates a tropical micro climate for growing bananas, pineapples and papaya plants. As a parasitic architectural intervention it can keep the interior climate of an EFTE bubble at more than 15° Celsius during the winter, the minimum temperature required by the tropical plants. The greenhouse bubble creates a contrast to the historic centre of Graz and uses only unused energy, waste heat from a cold store. The volunteers of the ‘Bananahood’ take care of the plants and control the technical system via smartphone. In late summer 2016 the Papaya and Banana fruits were harvested and tasted by the public. The project is an attempt to reveal energy potentials, criticize established systems and demonstrate new modes of action.

It is easy to do and can be done in areas with bad soil and less than perfect traditional garden environments. Container gardens can be fun for both experienced and novice gardeners. Container gardening is a great way of gardening when you want to have a garden and enjoy plants in places that are not normal garden areas. Container gardens are also great for adding a focal point to a deck or patio.
Container gardening is useful when:
- You want to move plants into the house for the winter.
- Controlling the soil quality is desired.
- There isn’t much space available.
- You want to grow year-round herbs and vegetables (or pretty flowers).
- Adding height, texture and variety to the yard is important.
Whether this is your first time for creating a container garden or if you’re more experienced, here are a few tips and products that help make container gardening easier.
1. Buy the Right Materials
First, you must decide what plants you want in your container garden. Your container garden can produce vegetables, fruits, or flowers. Once you decide on what you want to grow, research what that plant requires to grow. For example, tomatoes need a container with a good amount of depth for the roots to grow; herbs and lettuce require a shallow container with a wide surface area. Of course, all plants need sunlight every day and plenty of water.
2. Make Your Container Garden Unique
You can choose different containers (buckets, pots, crates, boxes, etc.) of all different sizes and colors to make your garden unique. The main thing to keep in mind is to make sure that your plants have plenty of room for the roots to expand.
3. Shop at New Albany Garden Center
You won’t have to go far to find the perfect container garden plants for your home. New Albany Garden Center has many plants and containers for container gardens. You can visit them at 5211 Johnstown Road New Albany, OH 43054 .

Aspects like a machine’s warranty or attachments may be overlooked compared to machine features like horsepower, but in reality, they can make or break your experience with the machine. Make sure to take the following factors into consideration to ensure you get the best experience and use from your lawn tractor.
First things first, make sure you understand the warranty of the lawn tractor before settling on a machine. Well established manufacturers like Cub Cadet will offer robust warranties broken out in terms of different aspects of the machine. Look for information on a lawn tractor’s warranty either in the support area or individual products listings on the manufacturer’s website, or inquire at your local retailer. Your local dealer may be able to register your lawn tractor directly with the manufacturer when you make your purchase. Each manufacturer will have a different warranty, so it’s important to choose one that suits your needs best. On average, 2-3 years is the most common length, but some manufacturers also offer options such as warranty extensions and packages. Make sure to check with your local retailer for more information.
Size and style
Besides the warranty, another aspect that is very important to know is which mower style and size will fit your needs best. Standard lawn tractors, which commonly are smaller and have a simpler design, are ideal for tighter yards that only need a regular grass trim but are a bit too big a job for a walk-behind mower. On the other hand, bigger garden tractors have more power and a larger engine, making them perfect for more acreage. Apart from style, it is also important to consider the size of your lawn tractor’s cutting width. Lawn tractors with a smaller cutting width are better for getting into tight spaces on smaller lawns or those with a lot of garden beds of varying sizes and shapes (though if you have a very challenging yard layout you may want to consider a zero-turn mower instead). Bigger mower decks are recommended for large and open yards as the increased width directly translates to fewer passes to completely mow the area.
Something that many buyers don’t realise when purchasing a lawn tractor is that they can be used for multiple purposes if you buy the right accessories.

The reproduction of plants is achieved through two different means. The first mode of plant reproduction is sexual reproduction, where male and female gametes fuse to form a zygote. The second method is asexual reproduction, which is the acquisition of genetic material by an organism. This is done through mitosis, an individual cell dividing and taking a set of DNA into its own daughter cells. Through the aforementioned two methods, any combination of genes can be passed on, hence genetic variability.
Understanding various plants’ traits helps us better understand and grow different types of plants. For example, some plants can be considered invasive because they cannot reproduce in the areas in which they live. These are plants that grow and spread rapidly due to the lack of natural barriers. While they do not impact the surrounding environment as quickly as other invasive species, they do disrupt the native vegetation.
Another way in which plants can be studied is through observations of the plant’s environment. This can be done through natural resources like tree canopies. Tree canopies have beneficial ecological effects by recycling water, reducing the rate of erosion, and producing oxygen.
By studying different types of plants, scientists gain valuable knowledge that allows them to further their understanding of plant physiology. In essence, studying plants allows scientists to understand and develop better agricultural and construction methods.
Being able to view plants under a microscope allows researchers to find the morphology of a plant without damaging or contaminating the plant itself. For example, researchers can detect various pests in a garden without harming the plant itself.
On the other hand, only a portion of the chlorophyll in a plant is used for photosynthesis. The remainder of the chlorophyll is reserved for chemical structures. These are the proteins that are in charge of nutrient assimilation. Through this method, researchers can use molecular and physical tools to better understand the chlorophyll in plants.
Vegetation and floral structures are responsible for the various aesthetic benefits to the Earth. As humans continue to encroach on the Earth’s natural habitats, understanding and maintaining these habitats is necessary for maintaining the delicate balance between humans and other species.

Please feel free to contact me if there is a plant you can’t find that you want added.
An annual is a plant that sprouts, flowers and seeds all in one growing season. At the end of the season, usually winter, the plant dies off and will need to be replanted again the next year. A bonus to planting annuals is that they usually flower all season.
A bulb is similar to a plant seed in which they are planted below ground where they will eventually sprout leaves, stems and flowers. A Spring Flowering bulb should be planted in the fall, while a Fall Flowering Bulb needs to be planted in the Spring. After the leaves and flowers have died it is important to remove the bulb from the soil and allow it to dry so it can be replanted for the next season.
Perennials are plants that live for three or more seasons. They may not flower in their first growing year and when they do begin to bloom it is usually only for a couple of weeks during one specific season.
A shrub is a woody plant with several perennial stems that may be erect or may lay close to the ground. It will usually have a height less than 13 feet and stems no more than about three inches in diameter. Deciduous shrubs loses their leaves during part of the year. Evergreens do not lose their leaves or needles.
Trees are the exact opposite to shrubs. They are woody plants that have one erect perennial stem (trunk) at least three inches in diameter at a point 4-1/2 feet above the ground, a definitely formed crown of foliage, and a mature height of at least 13 feet. Deciduous trees loses their leaves during part of the year. Evergreens do not lose there leaves or needles.
Tropicals are plants that are grown in the tropics. Since they need high temperatures and humidity to survive in most places around the world they must remain indoors where these conditions can be duplicated. Cacti and succulents are tropical plants that store water in their stems and leaves. | agronomy |

Has it ever been?
Was that what the 90's were all about?
One must actually be strong and capable.
The yogi will say it is all yoga
The strong will say it is all strength
The movers will say it is all movement
The endurant will say it is all endurance
The introspective will say it is all mind
They are not wrong; there is inaccuracy in the statements.
There is inaccuracy in the view.
In fact, it is all of it.
It is not either/or... This method, or that method.
It is and/both... It is that method, and this method.
The uncompromising man is no longer valued for his indignation, but his open application of subtle, and major, process shifts which allow him to work.
The uncompromising piece is not his method. Rather it is the ritualistic tossing out of, or complete ignorance of, the bullshit.
A note on "The Bullshit"...
...There is a lot of it. As there are a lot of bulls, and they shit. It smells, and flies are attracted to it. It is toxic, very toxic, and over time the bullshit is broken down and only then can it yield a benefit for the soil, for the grass, for the plants, for life. Only when broken down can it facilitate "The Growth."
Later a new bull will eat that grass, and again produce the bullshit.
A note on "The Bullshit"...
This matter is neither good nor bad. It merely is...
Therefore, let us bring this into reality, and out of the figurative.
Zumba was birthed from a mind. It is an idea, image and plan of three gentlemen.
Zumba is indicative of the bullshit.
People flock to Zumba and these people are the flies. They lay eggs in the shit and produce more flies that seek more shit.
Shit, more specifically bullshit, is toxic and you can only go on a steady diet of it for so long.
Commercially packaged manure comes composted, but if you collect fresh manure, you’ll need to do some composting before applying it to your plants. How long depends on the type of manure and the season. Add the manure slowly to the compost pile over several days or weeks, allowing plenty of air to circulate in the compost bin. Add other organic matter like grass clippings and leaves to break up the manure and speed curing. Turn the compost regularly as you add more manure. Stop adding the manure two months before you plan to use it in the garden. You’ll know the manure is well composted when it produces no heat and loses most of its objectionable odor when dry.
Over time, the breakdown ensues. Zumba breaks down into what it is, and we unearth the discipline of dance.
Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Swing.
Yet, this is more of the bullshit. Shit on top of more shit.
Manure consists of three basic elements critical to plant health: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen allows plants to produce the proteins needed to build living tissue for green stems, strong roots, and lots of leaves. Phosphorus helps move energy throughout the plant, especially important in maturing plants. Potassium aids plants in adapting sugars needed in growth and is especially helpful in root crops. Together, these three elements form that magic formula, N-P-K, the backbone of all fertilizers, man-made or organic.
As we break down styles of dance we realize that it is a series of movements composed and practiced to bring a recognition of elegance, grace and beauty. Furthermore, this can illicit a sense of excitement, joy or just plain arousal... sexual arousal, to be precise. Even celebratory/spontaneous dance, is dance... It is movement. These are the beneficial pieces, as you can do more with them. They don't break down. They are beneficial, they aid.
National Geographic noted when coming back from the hunt, the Hadza tribe will break into dance. When idle, and in need of entertainment, they will break into dance. Completely informal... In fact, the most important Hadza ritual is the epeme dance, which takes place on moonless nights. Men and women divide into separate groups. The women sing while the men, one at a time, don a feathered headdress and tie bells around their ankles and strut about, stomping their right foot in time with the singing. Supposedly, on epeme nights, ancestors emerge from the bush and join the dancing. One night as the researcher watched the epeme, he spotted a teenage boy, Mataiyo, sneak into the bush with a young woman. Other men fell asleep after their turn dancing. Like almost every aspect of Hadza life, the ceremony is informal, with a strictly individual choice of how deeply to participate.
This brings to light the notion of Participation.
Participation, is a choice.
The hippies in the building hear "connectedness," or whatever.
I hear participation.
Whether watching the dance, providing the sounds to dance to or getting involved in the dance... Where there is a discipline, there is participation.
...And that, my friends, is the most tangible form of humanity - our choice to participate in the beneficial elements of our culture, society and community.
The bullshit is, and always will be. As long as there is consumption.
Our job is to break it down, distill it and derive the benefit from its non-toxic elements, the disciplines. Then choose our depth of participation in the result.
It is not bad to watch, and it is fun to play. | agronomy |

The small size of the berries and the freshness of the climate during the beginning of the summer characterise the wines of 2012: concentrated, fresh and aromatic.
Quinta de ERVAMOIRA:
The harvest date is within the average of the past 5 years, we started with the Viozinho, which was harvested with less degree than in previous years, but with aromatic maturation. The maturation of the Rabigato stopped altogether, due to the grapes being very wet having taken a long time for any sort of aroma to appear. In the end, the grapes were slightly phenolic. The Arinto matured slowly. The Codega was good and the Folgazão very interesting, with the aromas of spices, pine nuts and even minty.
The whites took long to ripen, harvest was slow and selective, with a good and fruity aromatic maturation and some tannin in individual cases. Sanity was great and screening was carried out solely in the vineyard.
As for the reds, also within the average onset of harvest, the Tinta da Barca was the first to ripen in very good condition: aromatic, with degree, and low pH. The Touriga Nacional presented fresher aromas than usual and generally matured slowly and smoothly. It was a great year for the Tinta Roriz, except in the most productive areas. The Barroca presented great quality and freshness; the Trincadeira Preta was very good. Good year for the Tinto Cão. The Sousão was a little ragged. The Touriga Francesa had some difficulty ripening in this harvest. The reds have concentration and freshness, and mild tannins. In general, the quality of the grapes of 2012 is very good.
Quinta dos BONS ARES:
The vintage of the whites in the Bons Ares began in early September, within the average. The Sauvignon Blanc presented an excellent balance between acidity and sweetness and aromatic expression. After a short thunderstorm, the rest of the whites followed, causing some dilution.
The reds started a bit earlier than usual. The Touriga Nacional was very expressive and with low pH. The Touriga Francesa, not very expressive but with some concentration and small berries.
In general, the quality of the whites of the Bons Ares was excellent.
Quinta do BOM RETIRO:
The start date of the harvest remained within the average of the last 5 years, it was a very quick harvest. The varieties Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional and Barroca had a very fast increase of probable degree in the week before harvest, and it was necessary to act swiftly and harvest everything before the September rains. The harvests of Bom Retiro and Ervamoira were joined. We had to define the parcels that would be cut and those that could wait, but, fortunately, the Ervamoira was delayed in maturation of the Touriga Nacional and Touriga Francesa varieties. So, in the meantime we harvested in the Bom Retiro.
Wines produced in 2012:
Port white: well-structured, rich and mature.
Douro white: serious wines, they are not very expressive, but are persistent in the mouth and with good structure and natural freshness.
Regional white: Sauvignon, expressive and very fresh, with aromas of red fruit, (cassis).
Port Red: very good wines for Lágima, Ruby and Tawny, fruity, with a lot of concentration, both the ones obtained from the grapes of Ervamoira, as the ones obtained from the Bom Retiro grapes. The wines made in the press show great potential, are firm and concentrated with fine tannins.
Douro red: concentration and smoothness are the main features, and given the freshness over the year, we do not have heavy wines. Touriga Nacional is exceptional, good quality on the Tinta da Barca and Roriz. At first glance, the wines are rich and balanced.
Overall, we harvested a little earlier than the rest of the producers of the region. Especially in the Bom Retiro, we managed to do a selective harvest thus following the maturation of the grapes and we separated them in the cellar as much as possible in order to analyse the quality of the vineyard. It was a year of great concentration and at the same time freshness. | agronomy |

The action plan, published in the EU Biodiversity and Farm to Fork Strategies, aims to contribute to the European Green Deal’s 2030 objective of lowering nutrient losses by half while maintaining soil fertility.
The goal is to cut fertilizer consumption by at least 20%. Farmers, industry, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), people, and other interested parties are encouraged to participate in an online consultation until August 26, 2022.
Virginijus Sinkevicius, Commissioner for the Environment, Fisheries and Oceans, said: “Nutrients are essential for life, yet the presence of excess nutrients in air, water and soil significantly affects public health, climate and the environment.
According to the commission, nutrients continue to be lost throughout the food chain, with significant consequences for human health, the environment, and the economy.
Surplus nitrogen and phosphorus in the environment are apparently surpassing acceptable planetary limitations in Europe.
Excess nutrients in the air and water have a detrimental impact on human health, the environment, and the economy.
The annual environmental cost of all nutrient pollution in Europe is estimated to be between €70 and €320 billion.
According to the European Commission, the Integrated Nutrient Management Action Plan offers an opportunity to analyze global nutrient cycles and provide a comprehensive and sustainable approach to nutrient management. | agronomy |

All our chutneys are made using our own produce grown using ORGANIC methods.
We Use Fresh
The way Nana used to make it!
The taste of Summer
all year long!
All our fresh produce used in our preserves is home grown using organic methods.
No chemicals or artificial fertilisers are used, our produce is grown the way nature intended.
They do not contain any colouring, preservatives, artificial flavourings or thickeners.
Having made pickles for our family and friends for several years, they encouraged us to sell the pickles rather than give them away, thus Franklin Road Preserves was launched in 2013.
We are fortunate to have a larger than average back yard with excellent soils which allow us to grow all manner of summer vegetables.
I have spent several years in the bio organics industry and have great passion for recycling organic matter wherever possible, consequently we are constantly making compost for our own use and don't use any artificial fertilisers.
Quite by accident I discovered several years ago that by regular application of seaweed liquid plants grow strongly enough to resist attack from insects and most harmful bacteria. Consequently I have not used any chemicals in my vegetable garden since then (2010) so while we are not certified organic all our vegetables are chemical free.
Like most people I seem to be able to grow an abundance of zucchini and when my wife Liz came across a recipe for pickled zucchini we decided to give it a try and to our delight it has become a favourite, so no long tradition in that recipe, just great eating!
The Brinjal Kasundi (eggplant chutney) has become our most popular product, this recipe was given to me by Natalie Forsythe-
In 2013 I grew the first crop of pickling cucumbers to make Cornichons, a French style gherkin pickled in the jar, they are gluten free with no sugar, the spices and minor vegetables are added to the empty jar then the cucumbers. The jar is then sealed and placed in a boiler for approximately one hour they are then aged on the shelf for a minimum of one month after which they are crunchy and delicious.
The bread and butter cucumber recipe has been handed down from my maternal grandmother. She was a keen gardener with whom I spent many happy hours in her veggie garden as a boy (she loved soaking cow pats in a bucket of water then using the water to fertilise everything is sight).
In his retirement my father was also a keen pickler of produce from his garden.
The secret recipe……
An Apple a Day…..
In April 2014 the town of
Orange held an Apple
Festival, and invited anyone interested to come along & sell their apple products. We approached an orchardist friend to supply us with some fruit, which he happily did.
We again turned to Nan's special recipes. We used her traditional Apple Sauce recipe and with only slight modification, in the form of adding far less sugar as we had deliberately used sweeter apples, we produced our first batch of apple sauce.
Our Most Popular Products
Bread & Butter
Nan’s Apple Sauce
So to date we offer five preserves none of which contain any preservatives, colouring, flavours or thickeners all the vegetables are home grown with no added chemicals or artificial fertilizers.
All our products are hand made in small batches, we endeavour to keep our use of sugar to a minimum, weather permitting, this summer we hope to be adding tomato and beetroot products to our range.

The quality of flour and the extraction rate of flour are directly related to the efficiency of the high plan sifter. Hongdefa factory use word top quality sifter. It has the characteristics of large screening capacity, high screening efficiency and no need frequent maintenance. Let's take this equipment as an example to talk about some problems that should be paid attention to when using high plan sifter in practice.
|High plan sifter|
First, the following conditions need to open high plan sifter:
2) When testing the color of flour, if you find that the flour contains excessive amounts of bran, also please stop the wheat or maize flour mill machine production line. The reason is that the sieve is broken. If the nylon crucible is hard damaged, it must be replaced; if the damage is not large, it can also be repaired with a small sieve of white glue.
3) In the patrol inspection, if there is no flow under the screen, tap the high plan sifter door and make a “squeaky” sound, indicating that shows the sifter is clogged. It is possible that the inner and outer passages of the screen are clogged and the material circulation is not smooth. If it is just happening, you can keep the flour mill machine production line working, just stop feeding, unblock the outlet, then make the sifter back to normal operation. If the blockage is serious, then shall stop the working for maintenance; it is also possible that there will be too much material in a short period of time, and there will be sifting. Stop of feeding, and the material can be reasonably diverted according to the design flow and practical experience.
Second, when open and installing the parallel sieve, shall be careful to ensure the efficiency of the flat sieve.
1. When installing the sieve, it should be placed in the order of the numbers and arranged neatly. The flour in the sifter should be cleaned to prevent the screen from being placed unevenly and gaps appearing. Please take attention Can't be careless, placed upside down or not mixed by number. Especially when open two bin at the same time, do not confuse them with the next compartment.
2. When checking the sieve, the screen surface should be tight and should not be slack. Otherwise, it will affect the normal operation of the cleaning block (rubber ball), and the material will accumulate in the depression to reduce the effective sifting area.
3. The flannel around the screen frame should be kept intact. If it is missing, it should be replenished in time, otherwise, there will be flour leakage. When installing the shifter, the sealing strip cannot be knocked out. In operation, the front part of the sieve is placed in the sieve box, and then the rear section is lowered.
|Spare parts of a high plan sifter|
5. When restarting, the flat screen should be idling for a few minutes to make the material empty, so as to prevent too much material in a short time, resulting in blockage.
Third, regular inspections to ensure normal operation
|Hongdefa factory high plan sifter|
1. If there is abnormal sound or impact sound in the high plan sifter during the inspection, it is very likely that the sieve grid is not pressed, and should be stopped immediately for maintenance.
2 In summer, the relative humidity in the air is large, and the upper and lower cloth sleeves of the high plan sifter are easy to fall, resulting in the outflow of the materials. In particular, fine flour, such as the wheat heart re-sifting (DIV3), bran sifting (DF) and so on. It is necessary to remove the flour on the ground in time, keep the workshop sanitary, and connect the cloth sleeve.

The vineyard, planted in 1998, is 20 acres with 18 acres currently in production with 6 grape varieties. We received our winery license in July of 2002 and did our first commercial grape crush with the August 2002 harvest. Our first commercial wine was bottled in February 2003 and we opened the winery to the public on March 1, 2003. Our first year production totaled about 1,200 cases, which included 5 different wines. We now produce over 5,000 cases. | agronomy |

In addition to solar energy, plants
need essential elements, especially nitrogen, to thrive. But they cannot always utilize them. For example, although there is plenty of nitrogen in the air (37,000
pounds free for use above every acre of land) and in the soil (4,000 pounds per acre
assuming 4% organic matter), most of it is unavailable for plant uptake.
In the absence of fertilizer, plants rely on microorganisms (bacteria) to transport and convert available elements for their use. This is where we come in. When applied to plants or soil, our formulas dramatically increase the number and variety of microbes in the soil and
roots, thus enabling plants to make better use of vital plant nutrients, NPK (Nitrogen,
Phosphorous, Potassium) and micro-nutrients.
The main ingredient in all of our formulas, Sumagrow, was developed and fine-tuned over more than a decade in cooperation with scientists at Michigan State University.
Once applied, a variety of groups inhabit the root
zone, rhizosphere and vascular system of a plant, helping to break down, hold,
and transport nutrients and water. Some of Sumagrow’s organisms have the
ability to actually convert insoluble
organic soil elements (i.e.: rock) into soluble nutrients, while others take more nitrogen
from the air that would otherwise be unavailable.
The following is a partial list of ingredients present in all of our formulas:
- Azorhizobium -- helps fix Nitrogen in symbiosis with plants
- Humic Acid (12%) -- organic carrier for the microbes
- Pseudomonas -- able to thrive in harsh conditions
- Enterobacter -- beneficial bacteria
- Stenotrophomonas -- common soil organism
- Bacillus -- a "model organism" whose traits include resistance to some insect pests
- Rhizobium -- soil bacteria that fix nitrogen by converting atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia and then provide organic nitrogenous compounds such as glutamine or ureides to the plant
- Trichoderma -- a genus of fungi that is present is all soils; several strains of Trichoderma have been developed as biocontrol agents against fungal diseases of plants (importantly, root disease)
Sumagrow contains over 30 different strains of microbes naturally found in healthy soil. Our humates are mined
in Canada and processed in Florida. The microbes are grown individually
in Sumagrow's lab in Hattiesburg, MS.

Dark Walnut MIXTURE
Elevate Your Landscape with Our Premium Bark Mulch:
Enhance Beauty, Suppress Weeds, and Nurture Healthy Plants!
- Enhanced Beauty: Premium bark mulch adds a touch of elegance to your landscape, providing a clean and polished look that instantly elevates the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space.
- Erosion Control: Premium bark mulch helps prevent soil erosion by acting as a protective layer that shields the soil from the impact of heavy rain and wind. This prevents loss of topsoil and preserves the integrity of your landscape, ensuring the longevity and stability of your plants and garden beds.
- Moisture Retention: By acting as a protective layer, premium bark mulch helps to retain moisture in the soil, reducing water evaporation and promoting healthier plant growth. This feature is especially beneficial during hot and dry seasons.
- Temperature Regulation: Premium bark mulch acts as an insulator, regulating soil temperature by keeping it cooler during hot summer months and warmer during colder seasons. This stable environment provides optimal conditions for root development and overall plant health.
- Nutrient Enrichment: As premium bark mulch decomposes over time, it gradually releases valuable nutrients into the soil. This natural fertilization process enriches the soil, providing essential nourishment to plants and promoting their vitality and growth.
- Weed Suppression: The dense composition of premium bark mulch forms a natural barrier against weeds, effectively suppressing their growth and reducing the need for constant weeding and maintenance. | agronomy |

Coconut production in Sri Lanka is threatened by pest and diseases. Therefore, different remedial measures havebeen introduced by Coconut Research Institute (CRI) to safeguard the plantations. This study was carried out todetermine the level of technology adoption to manage major coconut pests by the coconut farmers in different landcategories. The farmers were selected from the Kurunegala district, which is the major coconut growing district incoconut triangle in Sri Lanka. Findings of the study revealed that more than 70 percent of the growers in all landcategories above 2Ac had adopted technologies recommended by CRI to control black beetle. Technology adoptionlevel was around 60 percent for red weevil control, nearly 30 percent for coconut mite and around 65 percent forplesispa beetle. Farmers’ perceptions affect their technology adoption decisions. There are two factors that possiblyaffect the farmers’ perception namely; information receiving sources and occurrence of a pest attack in their fields.Since the farmers are having limited resources to get essential information on coconut cultivation, they were unableto find recommended technologies to control all these four pests. In addition, the study revealed that unawarenessof technologies and low attention for coconut farming were the two major reasons for poor adoption levels of therecommended technologies. It can be concluded that coconut growers in Kurunegala district require moreawareness regarding recommended technologies to manage major coconut pests. For that purpose, farmer levelextension programs should be strengthened. | agronomy |
