(of course, the girls were along, too, but the little guys ruled the pictures).
There is a Planetarium at the Gateway mall, where they have this huge ball moving contraption. Little E. couldn't stop watching; for over an hour.
Of course, it did finally come, and E. had the time of his life ('course, he's only two...).
The thing is, when my grandfather is involved short work usually takes a little longer. Actually, I'd like to take this opportunity to set a few things straight.
I have a sister-in-law who fancies herself a very green individual, who works hard to reduce her (whole block's) carbon footprint. She's good at it! She even teaches classes on green living at the community college. Still, she doesn't hold a light to my grandpa. My grandpa wrote the book on green living, and set the trend before there was a trend.
For as long as I've been alive (and longer) my grandpa has been composting every possible scrap of garbage and bio matter produced on his property. There is a one gallon ice cream bucket on his kitchen counter with a produce bag (you know, the ones you put bananas in at the grocery store) in it and every peeling and stem discarded from every vegetable and fruit goes into that bucket. When the bucket is full the bag is taken out to the garden (year round) and the contents are tuned into the dirt to become the next generation of meals. In fact, his garden could feed the whole block. I dare say that his is the most fertile 1/2 acre on the planet.
Take the leaves above. We bagged them up but we didn't put them on the curb--nope, they went to the garden. But, we didn't spread them out to be tilled under. Uh-uh. That's not the process. Those leaves will remain in their bag until next Fall. Right now they will be put on top of the row of carrots, which will keep the ground from freezing under them, which will allow grandpa to come and pull fresh carrots all winter.
In the Spring, these bags will be placed under the apricot tree where they will continue aging to perfection all summer until most of the garden has been harvested and they will be tilled under at that time. But that's not all! The bags themselves will likely be used as ground cover to keep the weeds from sprouting.
Yep. These systems are ages old, and have been producing loads of locally grown food for decades. So, g, when you're ready to enter the PhD. program, I'll help you with your application to the Sim School of Green Living.
In the meantime, the new recruits above will begin their discipleship, soon. | agronomy |

In Their Words…
“Game changer. How else would you describe high school students gaining access to industry-leading technology that is only available at select universities?
Teachers Mark Mancari and Todd Shuskey are redefining what high school students are learning in technology and science classes at PCS. This fall, the pair was notified that they were awarded a $35,415 grant from The Western New York Foundation, as well as an additional $10,000 in funding from Senator Patrick Gallivan. The funds were used to purchase a Seal Analytical AQ300 Nutrient Analyzer and Fisher-Scientific Smart2Pure Water Purification System. The equipment will allow students to conduct cutting-edge nutrient analyses on soil and water.
Last school year, Mancari’s Precision Agriculture students worked with farmers to collect soil samples from area fields. Shuskey created a simple system for these students to measure the presence of nutrients in the soil samples. With Shuskey also establishing a partnership with the Silver Lake Association last year, the pair started to investigate ways for students to conduct more advanced nutrient analyses. Earlier this year, Shuskey’s marine science and senior biology classes went out on Silver Lake to collect water samples and to do basic water analysis.
The new technology will allow students to test soil samples for phosphorus and nitrogen. The eventual goal is that Perry students may conduct testing for local farmers rather than having samples sent to universities for testing. Lake nutrient concentrations are important for Harmful Algal Bloom monitoring as well as overall lake health. Therefore, this equipment will allow samples taken from the Silver Lake watershed to be processed locally.
The acquisition of this new technology is surely a game changer in the opportunities we can offer in science and technology. Having students engaged in local phenomena, such as monitoring nutrient levels in soil and water, helps strengthen the relationship between our students and the local agricultural community while providing students with relatable science practices.”

For outdoor use, place live plants in containers with drainage holes. The water will flow through the containers, keeping the plants safe from over-watering. Additionally, the drainage will stop water from pooling in the pots and keep them from freezing during the winter. Frozen water will expand and crack the receptacles.
Furthermore, when placing urns on top of pedestals outdoors, we recommend installing drainage holes in the pedestals as well—especially if the pots will be connected to an automatic watering system. Consequently, the tubes coming out of the side of the pot will be hidden. In residential installations, however, many homeowners prefer to hand water their plants. In these cases, pedestal drainage holes aren’t necessary. However, we recommend that all pedestals holding planters with live foliage have holes.
On the other hand, for those wanting to use the urns and planters indoors, we advise that they NOT have drainage holes to avoid leaking onto inside floors. In these instances, there is a nominal charge for PLUGGING and sealing the pieces. The most practical way to water these plants is to house the plants in containers that can be easily removed for watering, and then place back in the urns.
Plant It and Leave It.
Archiped’s slogan is “Plant It and Leave It,” and that applies to drainage. No rocks needed, no special soil, just “Plant It and Leave It”. | agronomy |

Some of the best people I know are farmers. Farmers work incredibly hard to provide us with the food we need to survive and for that, I bow down to them in thanks, love and deep gratitude.
That said, it is important to recognize that farming standards and practices vary A LOT, and not all farms produce clean nutrient dense food. Not all tomatoes (carrots, lettuce, potatoes, peas etc) are created equal. The quality of food is directly proportional to the health of the soil it is grown in. If the soil is depleted and dead, the resulting vegetables/fruit will be devoid of nutrition, and most often, chemical fertilizers are used to make up for the lack of life found in the soil. When chemical fertilizers are used, what often results is a plant lacking a strong immune system, incapable of surviving without the aid of pesticides. This results in vegetables and fruit that might look good to the naked eye, but are in fact empty of nutrients, and toxic to one's health. A farmer who understands how nature works, and who truly reveres nature's wise ways, will do his/her best to nourish this very soil that our lives depend on. Healthy soil is teeming with beneficial microbes. It's a living breathing thing. Scoop up some healthy soil in your hands and it should feel soft, moist, warm - and there should be a veritable microorganism dance party going on in it. This is the kind of soil you want your food to be grown in, soil that has been nourished, fed organically and loved on. Sadly, it has become rare to find farms that respect and care for their soil. What is even more disappointing is that the "certified organic" label can't even be trusted anymore.
One of the most disappointing and upsetting things I learned while on my own search for nutrient dense foods, is that most organic farms (at least in my home state, NC) use an amendment called feather meal on their soil. Feather meal is a byproduct of the commercial poultry industry, consisting of partially hydrolyzed and ground up feathers. Feather meal has high levels of nitrogen and is used by many organic farmers as a fertilizer, a practice 100% approved by the National Organic Program run by the USDA. There are so many reasons the use of feather meal by organic farmers makes me indignant:
- These certified organic farmers are directly supporting one of the most inhumane industries alive - namely the commercial poultry industry where chickens are drugged, tortured, and made to live in tiny cages where they are unable to even turn around, without access to fresh air, and sunlight. And that isn't even half of it.
- Scientific studies have confirmed that feather meal is contaminated with toxic substances such as antibiotics, fluoroquinolones, acetaminophen (Tylenol), diphenhydramine (the active ingredient in Benadryl), and norgestimate, a sex hormone. These very substances are absorbed from the soil, into the very vegetables/fruit that are labeled and sold to us as 'organic.'
How, as consumers, should we deal with this? Simple: know your farmer, visit the farm you buy your food from, ask LOTS of questions, and vote with your dollar.
If you live in North Carolina, there are three farms that I can personally recommend wholeheartedly and with a pure conscience. These farms are farming the best way possible, nurturing their soil, using sustainable closed-loop practices, and working WITH nature instead of against her. Their food is not only organic, but GMO free, nutrient dense, and grown with so much love. These are the farms I buy my food from, farms I have personally visited, questioned and who I am proud to give my hard-earned money to.
Whitted Bowers Farm
Owned and run by Rob and Cheri Bowers in Cedar Grove, NC, Whitted Bowers is one of only two biodynamic farms in the Southeast. They grow some of the most nutrient dense, cleanest produce you will find in the area, if not in the nation. They plant by the moon, infuse their soil with biodynamic preparations, and don't use even a trace of chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers. Even the smallest details are taken care of here: their fence posts are made of cedar rather than treated wood; their workers are generously compensated; the love at this farm abounds. This farm is so in-line with my values that I actually work for Rob and Cheri whenever they need extra hands, and I proudly help them sell their produce on Saturday mornings at the Carrboro farmer's market. They are known for their berries (especially their famous strawberry u-pick), heirloom melons, and heirloom vegetables.
Heritage Acres Farm
Owned and run by Steve and Jenny Moize and located in Hurdle Mills, NC, this is a truly organic farm where the animals are all pastured on remediated land, and these same animals are given herbal dewormers and herbal remedies when they fall ill. You will find no trace of chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides. What you WILL find is happy pastured pigs rolling in some good looking mud, pastured chickens hunting for worms and grubs, and a lot of very spoiled goats. They sell: pasture raised eggs, culinary herbs, produce, blueberries, and figs. They specialize in heritage breeds and heirloom seeds.

New Pasture Farm
Owned and run by Cindy and Chas Rover and their many children in Hurdle Mills, NC, this farm's dedication to sustainable farming practices continues to blow my mind. I am so impressed with them that I buy all my milk and meat from them. And trust me when I say that their milk is a rich yellow, and as delectable as milk could possibly be. Here is their blurb:
"We are delivering nutrient dense, GMO FREE and biotechnology free REAL FOOD from REAL FARMS to a drop location near you. We service the greater Triangle and Triad areas of North Carolina.
New Pasture Farm is a high foraging, multi-species, soy free & GMO free farm. Biotechnology free farming is a passion of ours, as well as providing nutrient dense and therapeutic food for people, pets, and livestock.
The first step for any pasture based farm is pasture quality and health. In NC this can be a challenge, hence the need for farms to rely on grain supplementation. Remediating pastures to have a high brix buys freedom from heavy grain supplementation. Animal feeds are a wide avenue for biotechnology companies power and we want no part of it.
We want to involve, encourage and support other farmers to transition into this state of independence. Therefore we are not only a farm, we are a CSA, a farm co-op, and a NON-GMO feed co-op.
We hope to keep finding creative ways to produce and help others produce the real nutrient dense food you want for you and your pets!
We are able to fully support a 100% GMO FREE lifestyle for anyone interested in doing so. For more details on how to order and receive our food."
Don't take my word for it - go visit them, meet the farmers, meet the animals, ask questions and handle the soil.

Following the death of Mayer in 1905, the Crouch stayed in the families until 1924 when Lena Schreiner Partee and her husband conveyed the Schreiner interests to various members of the Halff and Oppenheimer families, all of whom were closely related. The Oppenheimers were prominent bankers, landowners and ranchers. The ranch operated until 1974 when it was partitioned among family members. The Halff Brothers Ranch of 19,600 acres is an operating ranch, with hunting, cattle, and irrigated farming as components. Ownership is now in the 5th generation of Halffs. It is operated by family members devoted to maintaining their heritage in the land and the family reputation. | agronomy |

Just last week we had what they call a "Blackberry Winter". That is where it snows and the blackberry vines are already a blooming. Yes it's May around here, but we had snow in the higher counties or area's around where I live. I enjoy spring. Love to get my hands dirty in the new earth that is broken open for planting. Just today I planted six tomato plants (Early Girl's) and six pepper plants (Cayenne). We already have leaf lettuce, radishes, and carrots growing together, along with potatoes, peas, onion, and cabbage. We will have squash, corn, bean and more tomato's to plant at a later date. As I said spring is one of my favorite times, just because I get to plant. Through the summer we have it hard with all the work it takes to care for our garden, but wait till the rewards start coming in at harvest. Nothing like eating fresh food from the garden. Also the rewards of preparing it up to last through the winter. God has been good to us over the last few years in the gardening area. We have had plenty and plenty to share. Here's to HAPPY PLANTING!!!
On another note: Please continue to pray for us on purchasing a home. I know God is going to bless us when the time is right. Prayer and the faith of a mustard seed is what it takes. God says if we ask and we believe what we ask of him, he will grant it to us. That is what we are doing praying in faith and believing in what we are asking, and knowing he will come through.
Blessings to you all.

Is it beets? Is it spinach? No! It’s chard, or Swiss chard to which its often referred. This leafy green is one of the healthiest plants you can eat. It comes in green and white, green with yellow stalks, or the type I grow, green with beautiful red stalks. Foods belonging to the chenopod family—including beets, chard, spinach, and quinoa—continue to show an increasing number of health benefits not readily available from other food families. Containing powerful antioxidants and phytonutrients beneficial for all aspects of health, this amazing vegetable is an important component to the diet. And, it tastes great!
I never knew what the heck to do with chard before I started growing my own. I grow it in my amazing aeroponic Tower Garden, which I absolutely love. I never had success with growing my own food before. The feeling of going out back to grab some homegrown chard, a few cucumbers, some kale and lettuce, or some strawberries, is like none other! I had read that chard was easy to grow so I bought the seedlings and in no time, I had these gorgeous, huge, green and red leaves ready to be eaten. The young, smaller leaves are good raw, but the mature leaves are too “green” tasting and bitter for me. I much prefer them cooked. The way I prepared them yesterday is my favorite so far. Up until then I had just steamed them, and eaten with a little sea salt and lemon juice, or added to pasta with marinara sauce. I’ve enjoyed all preparations, but this one is the winner so far.

Getting your lawn summer-worthy however, is another story. Lawn care requires constant effort, and a lot of know-how too. If you’re in need of some lawn care advice, read on. We’ve compiled our top seven tips for growing and maintaining a lawn that’ll be the envy of your whole neighbourhood.
Invest in the right lawn mower.
Just like our hair requires regular trims in order to keep it healthy, and boost its growth, so too does your lawn. You’d never cut your hair with a pair of blunt scissors, and as far as lawn care is concerned, the equivalent is a ‘traditional’ lawn mower. These machines actually cause more harm than good; blunt blades end up bruising the individual blades of grass, resulting in ‘split ends’. The solution? Invest in a cylinder mower. Used on cricket pitches, bowling greens and golf courses, cylinder mowers are far more conducive to efficient lawn care. While they’re more expensive than a traditional lawn mower, this investment is worth it in the long run.
Don’t be overzealous when cutting your lawn.
A general rule of thumb for achieving optimal results from mowing, is to never cut off more than one third of the length of your lawn. Shearing a lawn too short results in the root systems becoming exposed. Shallow roots are unable to absorb sufficient amounts of water and nutrients, leaving your lawn susceptible to drought, as well at the mercy of weeds.
Optimal lawn care relies on caring for your tools.
If you’ve invested a substantial amount of time and money in getting your lawn ready for summer, it makes sense to ensure that your lawn mower is cared for too. Get your mower regularly serviced in order to avoid the blades becoming blunt and damaging your lawn, as well as to extend the life of the machine.
Tackle brown patches with a wet towel.
Unsightly brown marks are the result of caterpillars feeding on your lawn’s roots. An easy solution to this problem is to soak a towel in water and then leave it on the affected patches overnight. This encourages caterpillars or other pests that are feasting on the root system to surface. Once they’ve made an appearance, you’ll be able to exterminate them.
Remember to apply lawn dressing
in spring. The type and amount of fertiliser required is dependent on the condition of your soil, as well as the type of grass you’re growing. There are two types of grass that are predominately used in South Africa. Buffalo grass is a hardy cultivar that requires less maintenance than other lawns, but grows more slowly than other variants. Kikuyu grass is popular for its soft blades, as well as its self-reviving properties. However, it requires more watering than other cultivars, and tends to die off in shady corners of a garden. It’s therefore advisable to consult a lawn care professional who’ll be able to test your soil and establish the needs of your lawn.
Tackle weeds and pests with the help of professionals.
Unfortunately, a lush, verdant lawn is at the mercy of weeds and pests. The most common pests found in lawns across South Africa are White Grub, Mole Crickets and Lawn Caterpillar – all of which can wreak havoc on a lawn in a short space of time. If you’re unsure what pests are plaguing your grass – water an area with a bucket of water and dishwashing liquid. This will draw pests to the surface, enabling you to identify the culprits. Once you’ve established what type of pest you’re dealing with, consult an expert in lawn care. They’ll be able to advise as to the best way to treat the problem, as well as how best to avoid re-infestations.
Use lawn cuttings as food for your garden.
Lawn clippings make excellent mulch for roses, as well as a great base for compost. Re-using cuttings is an economical and natural way of feeding your garden – so make sure you collect the cuttings and add them to a compost heap. Supplement it with organic waste from your kitchen – vegetables peelings, eggshells and coffee grinds make for a home-made compost that’s rich in nutrients and easy on your wallet, too.

Agriculture is often dismissed as a traditional line of work. Although, it is agriculture, in particular, where trends such as digitalization, sustainability, and connectivity offer great potential, especially when we think about the increasingly relevant topic of precision farming.
For this reason, the technology company Continental is furthering its agricultural operations, providing new solutions to revolutionize the agricultural sector. A best practice example that underlines this approach is Continental’s white-label solution contadino, that not only impresses with its comparatively lightweight and compact product design but also with its ability to drive fully electric and fully autonomous.
Till now, agriculture has been a highly manual business, but due to ongoing structural changes, the agricultural sector requires new technologies. Whereas the demand for more food and food of higher quality continues to rise around the world, farmers are increasingly confronted with a shortage of skilled labor, volatile weather, and more extreme events like floods and droughts that limit the availability of water, allow weeds, pests and fungi to thrive, and endanger the crops’ productivity.
This development puts farmers under high pressure which often results in unsustainable farming where fields are cultivated repeatedly without respecting fallow periods. Hereby, also the machinery in use plays an influential role. The oftentimes heavy weight of the machinery fosters soil compaction, which poses another serious problem for sustainable crop cultivation. Through compression, the soil cannot breathe, and the water cannot penetrate the soil. This results in declining soil quality and, thus, lower yields.
To overcome those challenges Continental has been working on a smart and sustainable swarm concept that assists our customers in working more efficiently, comfortably, and safely. Hereby, our experts build on our expertise from other areas and adapt it to the respective situation. Our modular agricultural implement carrier contadino is a great example of this. We have leveraged our knowledge from automotive applications and adapted features like sensor- and camera-based systems for the specific used case. The result is a smart white-label solution that has the potential to revolutionize the agricultural sector, especially when we think about precision farming.
Due to the modular and compact design, contadino allows for maximum flexibility regarding implement type and track width and enables quick and easy maintenance. The robot is versatile in its application and works both fully electric and autonomously. That is made possible thanks to the attached lidar scanner, radar, RTK GPS, camera and ultrasound which allows contadino to detect obstacles and track their position with a GNSS accuracy of three centimeters. The robot is also much more resource-efficient concerning energy consumption and soil compaction than other machines and can operate around the clock due to its automatic recharging function. But what’s best about it: Contadino can be used for fleet operations and does not require human surveillance. That means several robots can communicate with each other to organize their processes, such as seeding, weeding, spraying, fertilizing and monitoring adequately. For these different purposes, the robot can be equipped with different implements. Through the interfaces, the robot vehicle fleet can also be easily integrated into existing tools. This way, the swarm concept guarantees farmers an efficient workflow and enables them to focus on the overall farm management and optimization of processes and tasks independently from their location.
As already said before, contadino is a model example of Continental’s approach of transferring its knowledge from one field of application to another one. That becomes particularly clear when we have a look at Continental’s robot vehicles in general. Because contadino is not the only robot vehicle our experts have been working on. There is also the delivery robot Corriere, which is mainly used for transporting groceries in urban areas, or our autonomous intralogistics robot, which transports goods in warehouses. These developments prove that Continental is well-equipped for the future of mobility and eager to shape it.
Nonetheless, these innovations are not only a result of Continental’s extensive expertise but also the close cooperation with its partners from different industries. And that is what counts in the end.
"To meet the challenges of higher logistic volumes, implementing sustainable ideas for the transport and distribution of goods, and offering smart solutions that support resource-efficient food production in the agricultural sector, we need strong partnerships"
For this reason, we at Continental are always on the lookout for new partners to advance the development in this area. Do you want to become a part of making agriculture more efficient, sustainable, and safer? Then contact us. Let’s together create robot vehicles for the mobility of tomorrow.

Are compost worms the same as earthworms?
Compost worms are not the same as regular earthworms They will only survive in your compost bin if there’s plenty of organic material for them to munch on.
In contrast, earthworms remove dead organic material from the surface of the soil and carry it underground..
What do worms like to eat most?
What to feed your worms. Compost worms benefit from a balanced diet. They will eat most normal kitchen fruit and vegetable scraps. Avoid feeding the worms large quantities of meat, citrus, onions and dairy foods.
Why do my worms keep trying to escape?
Worms breathe through their skins. If they don’t have enough air, they will try to leave the bin. Lack of oxygen could be caused by: Too wet.
Can you have too many worms in your garden?
When there are too many earthworms in the soil that a lawn grows from, their castings will actually start to burn the lawn due to the overabundance of fertilizer. … Another pest control issue that worms cause for lawns is the presence of worm mounds.
Is it good to have worms in your compost?
It turns out that adding worms to compost may be beneficial. Certain types of worms, like red wigglers, can help speed up the process of decomposition. Native earthworms generally find their own way into an open bottomed compost bin if conditions are right.
Can earthworms and red worms live together?
Can earthworms and red worms live together? It is possible to house both earthworms and red worms together, however, it is not ideal. This is because the two species are adapted for different population densities, temperatures, and soil depths. Worms are an invaluable addition to your garden or compost bin.
Why are my worms at the top of the bin?
Thunderstorms and other rapid climate changes will force your worms to the top of their bin. Remember, worms breathe through their skin, so if they sense a chance of rain, they’re going to move accordingly to keep themselves from drowning.
What are the tiny white worms in my soil?
Small white worms in your houseplant’s soil are most likely the larvae of the fungus gnat. This gnat thrives in moist, shaded areas and produce a maggot larvae that may harm the root system of your plant.
What type of soil do worms like best?
loamy soilSoil Characteristics Earthworms breathe through their skin, which means they prefer loose, loamy soil. These worms also need soil rich in organic material and nitrogen. You can add a layer of lawn clippings over the soil to provide cool shade and nitrogen that attract earthworms.
How many worms do I need for my compost bin?
So, if your daily average food waste is 2 lbs, you will need roughly 4 lbs of composting worms to eat that amount each day. In this scenario, 4 lbs of worms is your optimal worm composting herd.
Why are there no worms in my compost?
If your compost is having a spring heat flush they may have escaped for cooler soil. … Could be your compost is too hot at the moment. Moisture Issue Worms will drown if things get too wet. This would be more likely if your bin has a plastic bottom and they could not escape.
Do worms like coffee grounds?
Soil-borne bacteria and fungi break down the various chemical components of coffee grounds after several months. Earthworms are also able to use this food source. Earthworms consume coffee grounds and deposit them deep in soil. This may account for noted improvements in soil structure such as increased aggregation.
Are eggshells good for worms?
Eggshells, again, the calcium in them, provides a buffer against acidity. When added to acidic bedding, eggshells reverse the acidity bringing the pH to a neutral level without ever making it alkaline. Eggshells are a very safe worm composting amendment that safeguards you against the dangers of low pH.
Can soil be too rich?
Yes, soil can be too rich. Organic matter should only make up about 5% of the soil, or else some nutrients may become toxic, and it may be challenging to maintain a balanced ecosystem. Like compost, organic matter gives the soil a healthy, dark, crumbly texture while providing valuable nutrients.
How do you get the worms out of your compost?
Remove the top layer of compost from the pile, separating out pieces of undecomposed food and newspaper. After removing the top layer, let pile sit under light for 2-3 minutes as the worms migrate down. Then remove the next layer of compost. Repeat this process until all of the worms are left at the bottom of the pile.
How many worms is too many?
A good rule of thumb is one pound of worms per square feet of the bin being used. Another way to calculate it is one pound of worms per pound of food waste. There are roughly 1000 mature worms in a pound. But there are a lot of considerations that come into play when deciding how many red wigglers you need.
How fast do compost worms reproduce?
Worms can double in population every 60 days.
Can worms live in hot compost?
Regular “hot” composting may attract a few wild worms. However, “hot” composting produces more heat than vermicomposting. Temperatures above 95 degrees Fahrenheit will kill Red Worms. Both methods break down organic waste into fertilizer.
Can you have too many worms in your worm farm?
If you are feeding your worms too much, the excess food will go anaerobic and begin to smell. Stop feeding them for a few days or even a week and sprinkle the contents of the top tray with a teaspoon full of Tumbleweed Worm Farm & Compost Conditioner, then mix it in with a small fork or spike.
Can I use regular earthworms for composting?
Earthworms speed up the composting process, aerate the organic material in the bin, and enhance the finished compost with nutrients and enzymes from their digestive tracts. The best kind of earthworms to use are red worms, also known as “red wigglers” and “manure worms”.
Are worms a sign of good soil?
To survive, earthworms need moist soils that have sufficient residue or organic matter for food. … They improve soil structure, water movement, nutrient cycling and plant growth. They are not the only indicators of healthy soil systems, but their presence is usually an indicator of a healthy system. | agronomy |

Posted July 16, 2012 in Articles
Author: US EPA
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded $59,680 under its Urban Waters Small Grants program to the Cleveland Botanical Garden to improve vacant land in Cleveland neighborhoods and reduce stormwater runoffto Lake Erie and its tributaries.
“EPA’s Urban Waters program provides grants to protect and improve water quality and revitalize urban areas,” said EPA Regional Administrator Susan Hedman. “This grant will help to improve water quality in Lake Erie and transform vacant lots in Cleveland neighborhoods.”
The Botanical Garden will cover 12 vacant lots with a mixture of dredge material, wood chips and compost, and plant low-maintenance groundcover. These efforts will improve soil nutrient levels, reduce lead toxicity in soil and reduce stormwater runoff. The deep roots of low-maintenance lawns absorb more water than regular grass and stabilize soil, preventing erosion. The improved appearance of the lots will help stabilize neighborhoods and reduce the city’s maintenance costs associated with mowing and caring for vacant urban land. | agronomy |

We are along the Red River just NW of Paris TX. We have irrigated crop land and produce corn, milo and cotton. We have pasture land with stock tanks. We are harvesting our corn and milo on AUGUST 15, which is perfect for the opening days of dove hunting.
Our deal is $120 per day with a 3 day minimum. Your days do not have to be consecutive. You can hunt one day at a time if you prefer to do it that way. You can pick any of the first 6 three day weekends of the season (FRI-SUN) to hunt.
We give a 10% discount on youth hunters 12 to 18 years old.
The land is located about 70 miles NE of Dallas. It is an easy drive.
This is a good dove hunting deal on grain fields that are harvested at just the right time for dove hunting.
Judging from the dove activity so far this summer, I think the dove hunting will be excellent. We have seen more white-wing doves this year than in any year before. There are some real big flocks of about 50 birds. Awesome to watch in flight.
Come hunt with us ! | agronomy |

This is the most common and important tree maintenance service that AllCare Tree Surgery provides, which is vital for the general health of your trees. Trees need to be pruned once every three years but ideally they should be pruned annually for safety and maintenance. Issues such as roof cleanance, security camera/light obstructions, and safety hazards such as deadwood tend to occur so a yearly pruning is the wise course of action.
Palm Tree Pruning
Palm Tree Pruning involves removing dead fronds and spent seed pods that can litter your property when they break off and can cause staining to decks and patios when seeds drop.
Fertilization consists of soil tests which are conducted annually to the primary tree and shrub areas. These tests determine the appropriate levels of macro- and micro-nutrients necessary to sustain plant vitality. Using local agronomic calendars we will determine the best fertilization schedule for your property. This process includes small tree and shrub applications, as well as deep root fertilization of specimen trees.
Deep Root Fertilization
Deep Root Fertilization is a process which helps to promote root and canopy growth by hydraulically injecting liquid fertilizers and other beneficial products into the root zone layer. This also encourages oxygen uptake by breaking up compacted soils. Deep root fertilization programs should be repeated once or twice a year.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM creates a schedule of monthly inspections of your property to monitor and scout for pest and/or insect activity on the tree and shrub material. This will dictate the appropriate means to deal with infestations of harmful pests to plant material. The method of treatment will be determined by the least invasive and least toxic means to control activity and be applied to the specific area of damage, not to the entire landscape.
In areas where a problem is reoccurring annually, our technicians will apply preventative measures to control outbreaks of common pest/insects on desirable trees and shrubs. This will help to avoid excessive spraying and/or treatments during periods of peak growth and limit overexposure of chemicals to the surrounding environment.
Other services include tree stump removal, safety cuts and health appraisals. | agronomy |

Heirloom tomatoes are finally in season! They are my summer obsession and they are finally affordable at the grocery store. Now for the next month, I will pretty much eat nothing but heirloom tomatoes. The best way to eat them is raw topped with a little olive oil and salt and you have pretty much got the most perfect dinner. It is even better if you have fresh bread to go with it.
I dont' really think I had heirlooms before moving to San Francisco. I grew up on the generic beefsteak and never really cared about tomatoes until I discovered heirloom varietals. Once I discovered those suckers I was hooked. Don't tell Luke, but I may have even spent $40 one time on tomatoes for a dinner party - that is how much I love them. I will cash out some serious cashola for those things. (If you were wondering everyone loved the most expensive tomatoes on Earth when I served them, mostly because they didn't have to pay for them). My favorite are the black zebras which are a dark, dark purple, almost black, as well the amana orange which are big huge tomatoes that are bright florescent orange. They taste pretty much like candy. I randomly drove by the Seed Bank this morning on my way to go foraging in Pt. Reyes (more on that tomorrow).This is such a Northern California thing - but the Seed Bank is an old bank building that was converted to store plant and flower seeds instead of money. They have pretty much every plant imaginable but check out all the amazing tomato seeds they have. Why does heirloom matter you ask? Well for one they taste better. To give you the short answer, it is also a way of preserving history through seeds - before agriculture became industrialized there were many different varieties of plants/flowers that were grown for sale. Once agriculture became more industrialized farmers realized that it was easier and more effective to only grow one type of variety, usually the one that was the strongest. Thankfully, there has been a movement in the recent decades to bring these plants back and places like the Seed Bank does just that. They are particularly fun to eat and cook with because they taste better and look better. Remember when I made my hanging garden? Well I planted 3 different types of heirloom tomatoes. Sadly I forgot which ones I planted but they are finally starting to produce fruit. It is going to be a surprise as to what pops out of them. Here is a great recipe for heirloom tomatoes. This recipe can be either really simple and quick by using store bought pie crust and pesto or a little more time intensive by making your own pesto and pie crust. Completely up to you. It is a great dish to serve at a dinner party because it looks pretty. Also you can of course use any type of tomato - a beefsteak would be delicious in this tart. Enjoy!

Mild climate and abundant beauty
Mont Choisy was discovered in 1747 by a young French officer, Captain Jules Armand de Mont Choisy.
Compagnie de Mont Choisy was established 200 years ago and the first sugarcane plantations were introduced in 1820. Aloe vera was planted in 1875, to replace sugarcane that was lost due to the proliferation of diseases, as well as successive droughts which adversely affected crops.
Including the famous Austrian explorer Isa Pfeiffer, the French adventurer Joseph Lambert, and the French aviator Maurice Samat. The Plaine de Mont Choisy was also the place where horse racing meets were held in 1891. Now the gateway to the North, Mont Choisy leverages its glorious past and ancestral assets to transform into a world-class resort, all the while preserving its historical heritage and the natural surroundings.It has become a lifestyle destination with houses, villas and various leisure areas, at the heart of which stands a spectacular golf course.
Mont Choisy throughout the years
1820Beginning of activitiesCompagnie de Mont Choisy was launched to operate sugarcane plantations on part of the land.
1875Cultivation with aloe veraThe proliferation of diseases and a series of droughts led the Company to partly replace sugarcane cultivation with aloe vera. The leaves of this robust plant were used to make jute bags for transporting sugar.
1891Horse racingThe plain of Mont Choisy staged horse racing events.
1933First international flight between Mauritius and Reunion Island at Mont ChoisyThe Mont Choisy race track, which subsequently accommodated the country’s airfield – which was the landing site for the maiden international flight between Mauritius and Reunion Island – before it was transferred to Plaisance.
2009Mont Choisy Property Development is incorporatedDiversification of the Group’s activities to adjust to changes in the Mauritian economy and the emergence of new sectors. MC Property Development was incorporated and branched out into property development with the construction and marketing, a few years later, of luxury IRS villas and apartments.

It’s unique scent, relatively easy growth, and lovely colors are all reasons they’ve become popular. Growing these plants is fun, easy, and rewarding.
GROWING CONDITIONS FOR LAVENDER
The two most important things for successfully growing lavender is soil drainage and acidity. Your soil should have plenty of drainage and be free of sogginess. Use compost or uneven soil additives to create air pockets and create a looser, more friable soil.
Soil pH is also very important. It should be balanced between 6.5 and 7.5. Too acidic and the lavender will look unhealthy, too alkaline and the plant will be undernourished.
BENEFITS OF PRUNING LAVENDER
The greatest reason to prune lavender is to create a stronger, healthier plant. It seems contradictory to cut back a plant in order to make it stronger, but cutting back the stems allows the plant to direct its energy towards stronger stems and more leaves, which means better use of the available resources for the plant.
Pruning also allows you the chance to control the plant’s size and general shape and it keeps new stems from crowding out older ones, causing them to yellow as they get blocked from the light. It keeps the stems from getting woody and increases the amount of flowering it will do, since flowers only appear on new growth.
HOW TO PRUNE LAVENDER
The best time to prune is early in the spring when the first new growth begins to appear. This shows that the plant is awakened from dormancy and ready for action.
Using sharp shears, cut the plant back about 1/3 (more or less, according to your size wishes for the plant). Remember that the plant will likely grow two to three feet during the season – depending on the length of the season, type of lavender, and other factors. Most plants can come close to doubling their size in one year if well nourished.
Cut carefully so as to make the cleanest cuts on the stems possible. This will give them the chance to grow back quickly.
A good pruning every year will make for a more beautiful plant with better flower and scent yields while giving you more control over the plant’s size and shape.
As stated, prune early in the spring. If new growth has already come in by several inches, you may need to wait until harvest or risk losing many of your flowers. Do not prune too late in the year or the plant may die through dehydration over the winter. It’s better to have an unwieldy plant for a year than it kill it through late pruning. | agronomy |

Under the jurisdiction of Jiaxing City there are two districts (Nanhu District and Xiuzhou District), three county-level cities (Pinghu City, Haining City and Tongxiang City) and two counties (Jiashan County and Haiyan County), including 53 towns and 17 subdistrict offices. It covers a land of 3,915 square km, and 212,400 ha of which is plowland. It has a population of 3.368 million and 78.07% of them are rural population.
Jiaxing, the geographical superiority is so obvious, its transportation is convient wich railroad, high ways and watercourcearses extending in all directions, and the one-hour traffic circle from Jiaxing to Shanghai, Hangzhou and Suzhou has been finalized. Location advantage and scientific developmental concepts have made Jiaxing into a representative of rich, harmonious and peaceful famous city in southern China. The GDP of 2007 is 158.52 billion yuan RMB and the urban per capita disposable income has reached 20128 yuan RMB, and increase of 18.8% and 12.9% over the previous year. All the counties and county-level cities are listed among the top 35 of the 100wealthy counties in China and all the counties, county-level cities, districts are listed among well-off counties in Zhejiang province. During the past few years, we adopted the concept of balancing urban and rural development to guide Jiaxing's overall economic and social development and promoted the integration of rural and urban areas and the construction of the socialist new countryside. The development of agricultural economic has achieved a relatively good achievement. In 2007, the gross agriculture output value hit 17.14 billion yuan RMB and the agriculture value-added of primary industry hit 10.02 billion yuan RMB. Farmer’s per capita net income hit 10163 yuan RMB, and ranked the NO.1 among Zhejiang province over the past four consecutive years.
Jiaxing, which has a long history of agriculture and abundant resource, has always been an important producing area of rice, oil plant, livestock, silk and fish in Zhejiang province. Recently, we funded the development of agriculture intensively supported and upgraded traditional agriculture, stabilized the cultivation of food crop and oil plant. This guarantees the food security efficiently (Table 1), and Jiaxing was awarded the "National advanced city of grain production in 2007" by the Ministry of Agriculture and is the only one city who owned the honour in the province. in 2007, the yield of meat, egg, milk, silk and aquatic products reached 368900, 86300, 12200, 41300, and 159900 t, respectively (Table 2).

In the new century, a special fascination is added into the agriculture of Jiaxing, with the implement of urband agriculture development plan, the main characteristics of modern urband agriculture are emerging step by step, which are ecologization of environment, industrialization of management, knowledgeization of farmers, intensification of elements of production, and diversity of function, about 17,333 ha crops are cultivated in greenhouse. More than 1000 agricultural enterprises and 271 farmer specialized cooperatives have been set up 279 agricultural standards have been maped out, more than 250 standardization bases have been constructed, 88nuisance-free bases have been certified at provincial level, 93 products and 191 agriculture products have been certified as Green Food and Organic Food respectively. 9 brands are certified as the Certification Mark of Origin. 52 agricultural products have received gold medals in various national- and provincial-level agricultural products exhibitions expositions in 2007.
When urban citizens are yearning for the fresh air and natural rural environment, Jiaxing grasps the pulse of the economic and social development closely. According to the strategy of “plan firstly, develop orderly”, Jiaxing makes full use of natural scenic spot resources, history and culture resources, agricultural resources that form the characteristics of a watery town in southern China and characteristic agricultural festivals, such as Nanhu Peach Blossom Festival, Jiashan Yellow Peach Festival, Pinghu Watermelon Festival, Tongxiang Chrysanthemum Festival to develop leisure and sightseeing agriculture. Jiaxing is a city honoured "national Tree Planting model city".leisure and sightseeing agriculture has undergone vigorous with 71 various leisure and sightseeing agriculture sites, which has invest 395million yuan RMB, built up, 2,893 ha, which has an annual reception of about 2.32 million tourists and more than 187 million yuan RMB income. The development of leisure and sightseeing agriculture, not only makes Jiaxing be worthy of the name “backyard of Shanghai”, but also broadens the agriculture functions, helps to break through bottle-neck of agriculture development, increases farmers’ income and flourish rural economy.
Under the background of economic globalization, electronic business, interlocking management and logistics distribution are becoming the new methods to promote the circulation of Jiaxing’s agricultural products to markets. Jiaxing, depending on the geographicl superiority and radiant effects of “Eastern Harbor”, has finished the conversion of agricultural products trade, which firstly from conventional bazaar to modern logistics by building up market, recommendation, information platforms for agricultural products. In 2007, 63 agricultural projects with contractual use of US$ 232 million of foreign capital and actual utilization of US$ 94.05 million were introduced, the export volume of agricultural products amounted to US$ 992 million. The turnover of agricultural product wholesale markets above designated size totaled 1.5 million tons, 23.8 billion yuan RMB. Among them, 12 wholesale markets’s turnover exceeded 100 million yuan RMB. These markets which are completely-functional, advanced-equipped, markedly-characterized and standard-managed have made Jiaxing be the agriculture products logistics center. Especially, the price index of fruits and silks in Jiaxing has become the weatherglass of the agriculture industry and even the whole national markets.
During the period of the “Eleventh Five-year Plan”, which aims at building a well-off society in an all-round way and accelerating the pace of socialist modernization, Jiaxing, as the forerunner of the integration of rural and urban areas in Zhejiang Province and even in China, is heading to the goal of realizing agricultural and rural modernization with vigorous strides. In the near future, a socialist new countryside of developing production, improving living standards, fostering more civil behavior, improving the overall cleanliness of village, and exercising democratic management, a strong economic municipality in the Yangtze River Delta, a new, coastal municipality along the Hangzhou Bay, a big cultural municipality in the south of the power reach of the Yangtze river, will lift in the south Wing of Shanghai. | agronomy |

This week, I’d like to talk about the origins of these problems.
Lake Apopka has a long history of human habitation and use – probably as long as 10,000 years. Numerous artifacts, burial sites, and village plots have been discovered along the shores of the lake.
White settlers entered the area in the mid 19th century, farming along the southern shores. When citrus production came to the area, growers turned to the lake and its close proximity to the Harris Chain of Lakes as a solution to their transportation needs. Prior to 1880, Lake Apopka’s outflow was primarily through discharge via the Double Run Swamp, into the Harris Chain. This wasn’t suitable for steamboat navigation, and thus in 1880 the Apopka-Beauclair Canal was excavated, attempting to link the lake to Lake Beauclair through a 12-mile long canal.
This proved more difficult than initially thought, thanks to the area’s marshy soil. The canal wasn’t really passable until 1893, when it was completed by the Delta Canal Company. After completion, water levels in the lake lowered by three feet.
The water level of the lake would prove to be a sore issue over the next few decades for local growers. More water in the lake means more protection from the cold – the lake water holds heat, protecting the citrus groves from deep frost in the winter. Produce farmers on the north side wanted a navigable canal, but citrus growers on the southern shore feared the effect a deeper canal would have. Ultimately, though, a series of deep freezes would drive citrus production away from Central Florida.
Produce farming continued. In 1941, fearing food shortages from World War II, the decision was made by the state legislature to expand farming in the area. A semi-private organization was formed – the Zellwood Water Control and Drainage District. Based in Zellwood, on the northeastern side of the lake, this district had the authority to levy taxes over its members. These taxes were necessary to fund the maintenance and expansion of a massive engineering project: the formation of the muck farms.
Some 9,000 acres of muck land were reclaimed from underneath the lake, through the creation of a levee. This muck land, much like the famed Everglades muck, was valued for its fertility. This area, once wetlands that helped to filter the lakewater, became devoted to “truck farming”, commercial farms focused on exporting produce.
After the levee was completed, the muck land was now nearly two feet below the surface of the lake, requiring major pumping operations to keep dry. Additionally, the muck itself dries out, shrinking in size by an incredible amount. To fight this, the mucklands would be regularly flooded when not in use, keeping them wet for the next season’s growing. When it was time to farm again, this water would be pumped out – into Lake Apopka. Millions of gallons of water laden with fertilizer and pesticide was now being discharged into the lake yearly.
And remember that canal? Not only was this water polluting Lake Apopka – it was being carried into the Harris Chain of Lakes, and through those, into the St John’s River.
Here’s a photo I took of the last of the pump houses. This is the original structure, built in 1941, and it’s about two and a half stories tall. Today, its used by the St Johns River Water Management District, to keep the North Shore Restoration Area (post muck farm) flooded with water.
This link is to an item from the collection, a pamphlet describing the Zellwood District and its operations. It was written by Henry Swanson, an agricultural extension agent, who was heavily pro-agriculture. You can get an idea oved the kinds of criticisms being levied against the district, even as early as 1962, from Swanson’s rebuttals . | agronomy |

As you can see, my current favorite vegetable is a beet. The kids each drew their own favorite, and I was excited to see that apple wasn't the only thing mentioned - many chose tomatoes, carrots, or oranges!
Then we made a list of things we know about farmers, and things we want to learn more about. We also listed some questions to ask Farmer Dennis. When he arrived, he started by showing us some pictures from the farm.
Then he passed around some really funky looking vegetables! I think our favorite was the jelly melon.
After answering our many questions, we posed for a picture and then Farmer Dennis headed back to the farm!
Afterward we had Mystery Bag Monday during science, and I used one of the green peppers that Ms. Breuer gave us from her farm. I told the kids it came from Farmer Dennis by mistake! I figure the lesson that it grows on a farm (and not in the grocery store) was passed on either way. :)
After we guessed what could be in the Mystery Bag, a green pepper was revealed, and we did a taste test! There were mixed results, with some really liking it and some not so much...

- Benefits Include: Reduced fire hazard, increased vision safety and aesthetics, freedom of growth for desired vegetation, time and cost savings by avoiding weed eating and mowing, elimination of poisonous or irritating weeds, increased land value and use.
- Potential Areas Include: Fire breaks, fence lines, parking areas, road sides, in and around ornamental planted areas.
Some Types and Optional Timing of Weed Control Spray Services
- Winter Annual Weed Control: November through February. The spraying controls most winter annual weeds, which are those that germinate with the Fall rains, grow and set seed in Summer. These weeds grow most freely and widespread. Examples include foxtails, wild oats, fiddleneck, filaree, common groundsel and yellow star thistle. Rains following a Winter Annual Spray Job allow dead weeds to decompose (which gives you bare ground).
- Weed Control Maintenance Program: For ornamental landscaping areas, services are scheduled utilizing preemergent and/or post emergent herbicides. The program guarantees control of all weeds, “unwanted plants”, winter annuals, summer annuals, and perennials.
Cost of Service
Cost varies for type of service depending upon materials used, time needed and size of job. Please call for free estimate. | agronomy |

Sarpei Kwadey is the Founder of Good Food Farms, an agribusiness company cultivating cassava plantations in the Central and Volta regions of Ghana. Good Food Farms is currently focused on the production of large-scale cassava farms and providing the missing links in the cassava production value chain. The 5-year old initiative, which started as a project, has been expanded to a company, which now cultivates over 250 acres of cassava, with the expectation of expanding to at least 100,000 hectares.
According to Sarpei Kwadey, the focus “is investing in women, supporting them to grow cassava and providing them with a market, which puts enough money in their pockets.” The income the women outgrower farmers make from this partnership goes a long way to support their families, especially in seeing their children through school. | agronomy |

Protected from pests and pollution, this indoor farm uses no soil and minimal water says Gordon Tam, co-founder and CEO of Farm66. What’s more, the controlled environment allows the company to direct the shape and size of the plants.
Now, Tam is looking to scale up production of his smart farming technology, as well as exploring ways to grow crops in extreme environments — including outer space.
A homegrown startup
Founded in 2013, Farm66 was an early pioneer in vertical farming.
In its patented aquaponics system, fish tanks are placed below shelves filled with leafy green herbs and vegetables. The plants filter water for the carp that live in the tanks, and the fish are fed leftovers — imperfect vegetables that can’t be sold. Fish waste provides natural fertilizer for the plants, differentiating Farm 66’s system from hydroponic systems, which typically use chemical fertilizers, says Tam.
Smart sensors monitor environmental conditions, including temperature and humidity, and the LEDs that illuminate the shelves use different light wavelengths to control plant growth.
“A blue light can increase the size of the leaf,” says Tam. “The red (light) makes the leaf smaller, but the stem will be taller.”
For some plants, like lettuce, a large leaf is desirable, whereas for tomatoes or strawberries, smaller leaves help direct more energy and nutrients into the fruit, says Tam. The company has experimented with different growing conditions to produce a variety of plant sizes — including a batch of basil with leaves so large they could cover a person’s face.
A growing opportunity
Hong Kong’s agriculture sector wasn’t always so small, says Lam Hon-ming, a professor of life sciences at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
In the 1960s, over 25% of Hong Kong’s land was farmed for rice, fruit and vegetables, and until the 1970s, the territory produced around 50% of its own food, says Lam. But as the city grew, urban development displaced farmland, and low, seasonal income from farming further disincentivized local food production, he adds.
Indoor, vertical farms could solve these problems. By controlling the environment, farmers could grow plants more quickly and increase the number of harvests, says Lam.
From city limits to outer space
Farm66 is currently operating at less than 30% of its capacity, producing around two tons of vegetables a month, which it supplies to a handful of supermarkets and hotels, says Tam.
The high setup costs for indoor, vertical farms is still a barrier, he says, which makes turning a profit difficult. Tam declined to share the company’s revenue but said that less than a third comes from vegetable sales. Instead, the company is shifting its focus to research and innovation, and is developing ways to make indoor farming more affordable.
The company has developed prototype robots to help automate tasks like harvesting and planting, which Tam says will enter mass production later this year. By establishing partnerships with factories in Mainland China to manufacture the robots at scale, Tam believes he can cut costs for future urban farmers.
Other Farm66 innovations include mini farms for homes, schools and businesses, which have sensors to monitor and automate plant care.
Whether on Earth or in space, Tam hopes that indoor farming will flourish — and produce “high quality, safe vegetables for our next generation.”

Oftentimes, these programs require a custom design, while others require extensive dirt work to restore original contours. Soil amendments and prescribed seeding are also options that can be used to restore habitat to its native condition.
What is Reclamation?
Reclamation is the process of getting something useful from waste. This means that although something may be thought of as waste, it can be converted into something useful. One example of reclamation is when oil solids are recycled. Another example may be growing trees on the land that was previously heavily logged.
Purpose of Reclamation
The main purpose of reclamation is in the construction and maintenance of dams, canals, and pumping systems. They are used to bring irrigation water to arid, semiarid, or sub-humid lands.
Downsides of Reclamation
The only downside to land reclamation is that it can be expensive. This is because reclaimed soil is typically weak and compressible. It takes many years to stabilize. Despite this, it can be very effective for the environment and saving resources.
How Does Reclamation Help the Environment?
Essentially, reclamation is restoring the land. When you use reclamation services you allow the land to thrive. This also allows it to remain conducive to fertile soil and other areas of growth. By restoring the balance in the land, the ecosystem will thrive again.
Mineral extraction and reclamation processes also ensure the return of sustainable ecosystems to former degraded land. By revegetating mine spoils by tree cover, it can stabilize an ecosystem for a long time. This is due to the ameliorative effects on soil quality. It cannot only improve based on commercial values but also aesthetics.
Land Reclamation for Oil and Gas
When it comes to land reclamation in oil and gas, the land is reverted to be used for production back to its natural state. The land will then be restored to be a functional equivalent of what it was before development took place.
Typically, when energy projects are finished, the land is abandoned. This is when the reclamation work can begin. To return the land to a functionally equivalent state before development, reclamation begins.

I cut up multiple fruits for a fruit salad (apple, cantaloupe, kiwi, peaches, strawberry, blueberry), then prepared steak and zucchini on the grill, and finally prepared a salad (romaine, carrots, celery, red pepper…forgot the red onion Jack asked for).
So, naturally I had a big mixing bowl on the counter filled with peels, veggie clippings and seeds from various fruits. A scrap bowl like you see on TV when you watch any major cooking show.
A scrap bowl is easy to clean up and doesn’t require multiple trips to the garbage. We don’t have a garbage disposal.
Then I remembered reading in “A Barn in New England: Making a Home on Three Acres”, that the author, Joseph Monninger, described how to make a compost bin using wooden pallets. Hmmmmm… We have old wooden pallets at work. Maybe they would let me take four of them?
Jack: This cantaloupe is GOOD!
me: Oh good, I couldn’t tell if it was dried out… it was hard to cut. Guess what I’m going to do with all the peels? (I waved my hand over the bowl of fruit and veggie scraps).
me: Compost. I’m going to put a bin way in the back at the edge of the yard and we can throw all this into a pile and start to compost.
Jack: Hahahaha you know now you’re really old. Only really old people care about composting! Hahaha!
me: Noooo, that’s not true. People who care about the earth compost. And you’ll be the one that has to carry the scraps to the bin each night. (I remember the part in the book where the author’s son has that chore delegated to him. I liked it.)
Jack: Do you know how bad that’s gonna smell?
me: After awhile the bottom of the bin will turn out rich soil for planting or whatever.
Jack: I know how it works, Mom. And, we don’t plant anything anymore.
me: You’re still doing it.
Jack: You’re still old. | agronomy |

Please allow me to express my appreciation for the event and my gratitude toward Minster Glamoçiç for hosting the 7th annual Ministers meeting and for the great Serbia hospitability.
lso, I praise the staff of SWG for contributing in organizing this event which as always gives an excellent opportunity of sharing experience which Increase substantially the benefits regional development.
The Albanian Agriculture continues to be one of the main sectors of the economy, generating about 17.7 % of GDP and providing employment for around 55% of the total employed. In this context, the Rural Development policies offer a reliable tool in reducing poverty. The GDP of Albania increased at a relatively strong and stable annual rate of about 4 % in the recent years. The inflation rate remained stable at around 3% for the whole period. The European Union is by far the most important trading partner of Albania. In 2012, the EU accounted for 68% of exports and 52% of imports of the total Albanian foreign trade volume. As for regional trade, agriculture and livestock exports to account for 21 % during the year 2012 and imports with the regional countries are 13.7 % in the year 2012.
The most predominant problems of the Albanian Agriculture sector are: The agriculture land is very fragmented and far from being consolidated (average of 1.2 ha - compared to 23 ha in EU-25); the small size of farms and agro-processing enterprises makes it difficult to introduce modern technology in agro-processing
The way we are dealing with the above challenges is what we worth consider to exchange ideas and build bridges with our neighbors and regional partners. Therefore, the Albanian government is committed to continue actively participate in the EU cooperation policy, by promoting sustainable development in the cross-border area. The development of agriculture in the context of the European Integration makes us interested to each-others development activities.
With the long term vision to EU membership and the efforts made so far for responding to the criteria for receiving the status of a Candidate Country, we are very pleased that Albania has now very close to obtain the status of candidate country.
We are aware that much still need to be done before we are ready for membership, but this decision is an important step on the way.
The Albanian Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and water Administration begins the ambitious and challenging work on elaborating a rural development policy for Albania with the preparation of the t Rural Development Programme under IPARD 2(2014-2020). We have designated the institutions required. The Managing Authority (Rural Development Policies Department) within the MARDWA has been designated to be responsible for preparation and monitoring of the IPARD program. The Agency for Agricultural and Rural Development (ARDA, also called the paying agency) has been established to implement the support measures in the agricultural, food and rural development sector. It has also been designated as the future IPARD agency in charge of implementation of pre-accession and post accession measures.
The establishment of such policies and institutions, together with the approximation of the legislation with the EU, does not necessarily mean that we can proclaim a “success story”, but it constitutes the basis of a historical process for our country and for developing in the agricultural sector and rural areas.
The enlargement context requires collaboration and guidance among us. As most of our countries are in different stages of the accession process, it is important to learn from each other and tries to avoid repeating mistakes of each other and engage in a constructive and precious exchange experiences.
Albania continues to play a constructive role in maintaining regional stability and fostering good neighborly relations with other Western Balkan and EU countries. As far as the regional cooperation is concerned in South Eastern Europe in the field of agriculture and rural development, the Republic of Albania is strongly committed to continue its active role and participate in all the activities which are strengthening the regional cooperation.
The Albanian Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Water Administration is one of the founders of the SWG RRD as a regional initiative. We support the activities for regional cooperation initiated by the SWG. However we think that over the coming years we could have a mutual interest in developing a more consistent exchange of experience in the process of EU integration. This could include cooperation in other sub-sectors such as food safety, or other fields which are of high relevance to the Ministries of Agriculture of South Eastern Europe.
We have followed with interest the activities of the SWG, supported by the EC, to support local development in cross border areas through the implementation of area based development programmes in selected areas in the region. I am particularly pleased to see that the selected areas also include Albanian municipalities in the Shara Mountain and Prespa lake regions.
I would like to confirm that we will actively support these initiatives, politically and financially within our means, to facilitate to successful implementation of these programmes to the benefit of the rural population in these areas.

Gardens are wonderful. One especially wonderful part is making money off them by selling vegetables to your mother. This is when having numerous voracious brothers pays off: The more they eat, the more I sell. We are currently working on the 18 pounds of garlic which were harvested last fall and also thirty sugar pie pumpkins.
I love growing herbs even more than pumpkins. Sadly, there was not enough room in my garden to grow many, but I was able to borrow some of Dad's garden for most of them. I raided neighbor's gardens for some more and ended up with 57 of my favorite herbs! | agronomy |

The seedlings all had their first set of 'real' leaves but I wasn't expecting the good root growth they had all made. I keep all my seedlings off the ground because of the slugs.
The cutting garden is slowing down. The Larkspur have finished, the Clary are nearly done. I am leaving the Nigella so that I can have seed pods.

A job for the coming week will be to dig out all the forget-me-not and stipa tenuissima seedlings from the brick path and plant them in the borders. I will also be dividing plants to take to the environmental centre.
Incidentally, one of the plants I bought at the show is a chocolate mint. It smells like those peppermint creams that are covered in chocolate. | agronomy |

After the school was granted $5,000 from the RecylceBank by point donations from community members, plans to reconstruct the greenhouse have been put into effect in order to begin planting and growing seeds this upcoming spring. Mrs. Erica DeMichele along with other teachers wrote the grant for this project for the RecycleBank Green Schools program. In addition to the greenhouse, an organic garden will also be growing in the courtyard in between B wing and C wing with the help of the new composter. Students in the Environmental Studies classes have already begun bringing in food scraps to contribute to the composter. With help from students, landscapers, gardeners and other volunteers throughout the community, the garden will soon become a reality.
The Kresson Road Ecology Site, Center for Transformation, STEP, Sustainable Cherry Hill, RuCraft Designs and the Griffen Greenhouse & Nursery Supply Construction Department as well as East’s Sustainable Cherry Hill East club and the Environmental Club are just a few of the organizations throughout the community who are volunteering their time, effort and resources to improve the Cherry Hill East greenhouse in any way they can. East will be gaining compost, seedlings and tools for the garden as well as manpower to get it started.
The main goal of the greenhouse and garden is to educate the students about sustainability by utilizing hands-on experience with gardening. “Sometimes we can lose sight of the goal, but ultimately it’s for the students,” Mrs. Erica DeMichele said.
There is talk that working in the greenhouse will be incorporated into the curriculum of the Environmental Studies’ classes but most of the work will need to come from volunteers who can participate after school and on weekends.
If anyone is interested in volunteering or donating materials of any kind, please contact Erica DeMichele at [email protected] | agronomy |

Waiting for the grow season to begin. Trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can. I understand the importance of pH in soil and water. I will be growing outdoors in 5 gal cloth pots, autoflowers. Will be using Happy Frog soil and a autoflower super soil additive. I do not understand the TDS and PPM side of this. Is there a good and bad. If so, what to do. Thanks for all your help.
@bep welcome to the forum.
Total dissolved solids is what it stands for and parts per million. Both are a similar form of measurement, with different words. This is a measurement of how much nutrients is in your solution.
PH is important to keep in range for proper nutrient uptake. 6.2-6.5 for soil.
SW area is beautiful.
Absolutely there is a good and bad. I believe pH for soil is 6.2-6.5, I’m not sure, I’m in hydro. Regardless, each has an optimum pH range. If your pH is NOT in range, your plants can’t absorb your nutrients. If not corrected, they will die. There isn’t a SET number for TDS, just recommendations. Some strains require more than others. pH is pretty much a SET number. Hope this makes sense
Growing outdoors is a different animal. You can’t adjust pH of rain water, and PPM for outdoors pretty useless. pH and PPM much more relevant in an indoor grow.
I grew a ILGM White Widow outdoors last summer. I used tap water when I gave the plant nutrients, but was pretty spotty with the care of it. (Left it to fend for itself for the most part). The reason it was outdoors at all is because I thought the seedling wasn’t going to make it and it surprised me. I already had a replacement plant for indoor grow so outside it went.
Pay attention to the rain and water if the plant isn’t getting enough. Read up on outdoor pest and wathc for bud rot. It will be ok
You can also Google for sunrise/sunset times in SW MI which will tell you when daylight will trigger flower. (Harvest in Oct. in SW MI for most).
By the way, you will want to do a hydrogen peroxide wash when you harvest. Check YouTube for directions. This removes dust, insect/insect droppings and ect.
Yeah, I didn’t pick up on the part about it being outdoors. Even outdoors, pH is significant. Your soil may be fine. In my area, the soil is very acidic and requires lime, but it’s nothing like indoors. I grew some outside one time about 30yrs ago. Used tap water and Miracle Grow. Didn’t have a clue what pH and TDS we’re. They did alright. Probably could have done a lot better
I should have mentioned I am in SW Michigan also.
OK. I understand the pH. The TDS is what’s throwing me.The TDS range is what. My city water here is about
155 PPM. Is that good or bad. I also have a hose water filter I was going to use to remove come of the chlorine and the clean some of the contaminates from the water. I also know that leaving the water in a container for 24 hours will remove the chlorine. Should I not use the filter to remove some of the contaminates and just pH the water and use as is? Thanks
I use a water dechlorinator, but I’m inside. The best advice I can give you is “listen to your plants”. I always start with 1/4 strength of manufacturer’s recommendation and go from there. It’s much different growing outside I know, so let’s ask @FloridaSon and @Big123
It’s actually 6.2-6.8, with 6.5 considered the sweet spot.
Your water being 155PPM has very little dissolved solids and practically no buffering capacity for pH so I would use the water straight out of the tap. If you add nutes you need to verify the pH.
hey @BEP welcome to the forums from another michigander… coldwater area. i think you will do great with your autos growing outdoors here. I believe that is the best use of strategy for doing autos. i grow indoors but am real interested in seeing how outdoors works for our neighborhood. lots of great help on here so don’t be afraid to ask. most of us started where u are at. good luck on your grow!
oops also, if you put an @ in front of a name it highlights it and lets them know about it @BEP

The dying of bees is a very bad news for thousands of plant species. And it is not only bees, but other insects that are dying as well. The death of bees is making news because they are used on a large scale in commercial honey production and commercial pollination. And what does the death of bees mean? It means, not just the shortage of honey, but scarcity of food in general. How? Read on.
“IF BEES DON’T BUZZ, WE HUMANS WILL FIZZ” – GURUDEV
Pollination by insects = reproduction in seed plants
Flowers bloom in plants so that insects like bees can sit on them to drink nectar. In this process, the pollen of the flowers gets attached to their legs, mouth parts, hair, and other body parts. When insects visit other plants, these pollen are carried with them to flowers of other plants, where they help in pollination. This enables the plants to produce seeds and reproduce.
A large number of insects, including bees, butterflies, moths, etc help thousands of species of plants to pollinate and reproduce. Without pollination by insects, a large variety of plant species will die and become extinct.
It is not only Honey bees, but other bees like Bumblebees, Solitary bees, Stingless bees, Carpenter bees, Orchard bees, Squash bees, that act as natural pollinators of these plants. Bees pollinate the seeds of a wide variety of plant species that include but are not limited to the list mentioned below.
There are more than 20,000 bee species, and many of them are specialized pollinators. In other words, many bee species prefer flowers from a single plant species. Without these bee species, those specific plant types will be completely wiped out.
An incomplete list of Plants pollinated by bees
- Nuts like Cashew, Almond, Brazil nut, Chestnut
- Vegetables like Beet, Onion, Potato, Cucumber, Tomato, Eggplant (Brinjal), Broad bean, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Turnip, Pumpkin, Cucumber, Squash, Zucchini, Gourd, Carrot, Okra (ladies’ fingers) etc
- fruits like Apple, Mango, Pear, Guava, Peach, Grape, Papaya, Starfruit, Jujube, Black currant, Red currant, Jujube, Litchi, Passion fruit, Avocado, Apricot, Sweet Cherry, Sour Cherry, Melon, Watermelon, Kiwi fruit, etc
- Peppers like Chilli pepper, Red pepper, Bell pepper, Green pepper
- all berries like Blackberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, Cranberry, Strawberry, Rowanberry, Elderberry, Boysenberry etc
- Cotton, Tamarind, Cow pea, Mustard, Sesame, Coconut, Coriander, Coffee, Cardamom, Lime, Lemon, Fennel, Buckwheat, Flax, all variety of beans, etc
Of these, some plant species like Melon, Watermelon, Squash, Pumpkin, Gourd, Zucchini, Kiwi fruit, Brazil nut, Passion Fruit, etc will be completely wiped out and become extinct without bees to pollinate them. Other plants like Apple, Mango, Avocado, Buckwheat, Apricot, Peach, Almond, Pear, Cherries, Plums, Cashew nuts, Berries, Turnip, Coriander, Cucumber, Cardamom, etc will be almost wiped out without bees pollinating them.
Why are honey bees dying in large numbers?
The first point to be noted here is that, the huge number of bees dying was reported in commercial bee colonies. If this is the case with protected bees under human guard, imagine the fate of wild bees! And imagine, how many other insects have been dying?
The rate of death of commercial bee colonies has been ever increasing. The tolerable rate of death to keep these colonies commercially viable is around 15% per year. But the actual rate of death has been increasing from 30% some 10 years ago, to around 40% last year! In the US, more than 40% commercial honey bees died last year!
The death of bees became so high, that in 2006, a new term Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) was coined for this phenomenon. This happens when a lot of worker bees in the colony disappear or die, leaving the queen and nurse bees behind, eventually leading to the death of the entire colony. And the honey bee colonies are dying not only in US, but in continents across the globe.
Pesticides – The bee poison
The major reason for the death of bees is the mindless use of pesticides. Pesticides are poisonous to humans, who are so large in size compared to a tiny insect like bee. So, while for humans, it takes few years of consumption of pesticide laden food to become ill, the tiny bees die almost instantly due to pesticide poisoning.
The huge amount of pesticides sprayed on crops enter their body when they drink nectar from the flowers of such crops. And that nectar becomes the poison that kills them. And remember, the honey you drink may also be filled with these pesticides, in addition to the possibility of it already being adulterated with cheap sugar syrup.
According to one survey, nearly 2/3rd of bee colonies in US and Canada had pesticides in their bees. A group of pesticides called Neonicotinoid, that are extensively used on vast majority of fruits and vegetables world wide, impairs their ability to navigate.
In other words, bees that drink nectar from flowers of crops sprayed with Neonicotinoid do not come back to their hives and eventually die. As the name suggests, these pesticides are neuro active (impact brains) similar to nicotine in cigarettes. Neonicotinoids have been banned in the European Union, but not yet in the US! These pesticides are 5000 to 10,000 times more toxic than DDT to bees!
Apart from this,pesticides also weaken the guts of bees making them more susceptible to pathogens like Nosema that kill them, destroying entire colonies of bees. In reality, these pesticides should be totally banned from being used. They even enter human body through honey, and through the fruits and vegetables whose crops were sprayed with pesticides.
Global Warming – The bee killer
You may be wondering, how global warming can kill bees. The average temperature during a month is increasing every year due to global warming. So, trees and plants that should be flowering in spring, flower before spring! You might have observed seasons shifting due to global warming.
So, when bees hatch during the actual spring season, the flowers are already gone! There is not enough food available. So while the plants lose an opportunity to get pollinated, the bees don’t get enough food. Both, the plants and bees lose due to global warming induced early spring season.
The bees born during food shortage are weak, have little immunity and more prone to diseases. In other words, the baby bees are suffering malnutrition caused by lack of food due to global warming.
In fact, the greatest amount of honey bee colony collapse in the past few decades has been in North America and Europe. These are the regions where the pesticide use has been huge. These are also the regions where the average cold temperature due to its polar proximity is turning hotter and hotter every passing year.
It was observed that bees in warmer temperatures are being born with smaller body and lower body fat. This was due to increased metabolic rates caused by global warming. This in turn means these bees are less energetic, are weak, and have less chances of surviving. For insects, body size is a big deal. If they are big, it means they have good energy reserves, and helps lot in their long flights as well as staying strong.
Loss of Habitat – bees die homeless
Another reason is that, as the weather is becoming more and more warm, animals and insects and bird species that cannot tolerate warm weather are migrating closer to the pole. They are moving away from the equator where the weather is hot, towards poles where the weather is relatively cool. But bees do not do that. Probably because there simply aren’t enough flowering plants near the poles to feed them.
So on one hand, colony loss due to global warming is causing the south most boundary of bee habitat to move upwards. On the other hand, the north most boundary of bee habitat remains unchanged. So overall there is a net loss of habitat and shrinking of geographical boundaries. So bees are left with smaller and smaller geographical territory every passing year.
Junk food fed to bees – The bee obesity
Most of the commercial bee colonies do not find enough flowers to feed them. For a bee colony to thrive, it is equally important to have access to a large number of and preferably a wide variety of nectar bearing flowers, crops. In the wild, this is not a problem for bees.
But in commercial bee colonies, there is a scarcity of healthy diet for bees. So many commercial bee keepers, in an urge to keep the colonies alive somehow and to produce more honey, feed these bees with sugar syrup and corn syrup. The pollen in the nectar they drink gives them protein, lipids, vitamins and minerals. This gives them essential nutrients and hence increases their resistance and immunity power, similar to how eating fruits and vegetables boosts human health.
But, with no flowers to feed around, the commercial bee colonies end up feeding on junk food like sugar syrup and become weak, prone to diseases and die. Neither is the honey they produce of a healthy quality. It is junk in the name of honey that is sold to humans.
Why should the death of bee colonies worry us?
The very first reason that should worry us is, we are causing another co-species on this planet become extinct because of the human greed. Bees, like any other species on this planet, are our co-species and have all rights on the resource of this planet as we do.
But our mindless use of pesticides, and the rising temperature due to global warming is killing these bees. Shouldn’t that in itself be the right reason to worry? If not, here is another reason.
The death of bees will cause humans to starve to death
The death of bees means acute shortage of food for humans. Of the top 100 food crops that are used to feed humans, 75% are pollinated by bees. So 1/3 of every bite of food we eat is, thanks to pollination by bees. Imagine the amount of food scarcity that will be created if bees become extinct. The death of bees is a great threat to global agriculture. For instance, the almond orchards of California need around 1.6 million bee colonies to pollinate the Almond trees, and without bees we might as well forget these almonds.
In the US alone, in the year 2000, the total crop value of crops exclusively pollinated by bees was $15 billion! Worldwide, over $200 billion worth of crops are pollinated only by honey bees, and this is only commercial crop, not the crops grown in the wild. Commercial honey bee colonies are rented every year across the farms worldwide during the pollination season of commercial agricultural crops.
Of course crops like rice, wheat, corn etc do not need bees or other insects as they are self pollinated or wind pollinated. But, imagine not having a wide variety of nuts, fruits and vegetables. Over 10% of major agricultural crops would be completely lost without honey bees.
If bees die, then humans will end up eating more junk food. And there will be lot less variety in human food. And of course, food shortage as well. Then imagine all the related job loss, for instance in the huge California Almond industry which cannot survive without bees.
How to save the bees and other similar insects?
At a global level, we need to turn to organic farming, stop using pesticides and other chemicals that are killing millions of insects worldwide. This has to come via administrative orders to ensure compliance. All kind of pesticides, chemicals, synthetic stuff used in farming have to be banned. They kill a lot of helpful bacteria and insects as well.
Instead use natural pesticides like neem, buttermilk, cow urine, etc. Instead of artificial manure, have earth worms in farming lands, and use organic waste, dried old leaves etc as natural manure. Encourage farmers to shift to organic farming.
At a personal level, you can help bees and other insects by
- developing pollinator friendly gardens in your backyard. Grow a wide variety of flowering plants so that you have flowers throughout the year.
- having window planters with flowering plants would help bees and butterflies
- avoid growing hybrid flowers that look good but are not good in pollen and nectar production
- buy pesticide free organic fruits, vegetables and other stuff. This helps both insects and also your own health.
- allow caterpillars even if they eat some of your plants. They eventually become colorful butterflies and help pollination of the very same plants.
- have plenty of earthworms in your soil. They keep soil nutritious for plants, which is good for bees and other insects.

Fermentation can reduce the negative effects of bran on final cereal products. In fulfilling gluten free requirements, fermented brown rice flor has shown great promise as a functional ingredient that can improve the quality of rice products. By Muna Ilowefah, Chiemela Chinma, Jamilah Bakar, Hasanah M. Ghazali, Kharidah Muhammad and Mohammad Makeri, Universiti Putra Malaysia
The past two decades have seen a rapid increase in consumer demand for healthy foods, which has prompted recent research to find methods for production of healthy and functional foods.
The usage of whole grain cereal instead of milled cereals is one such trend for production of healthy and functional foods, as consumption of whole grain foods has shown a reduction in the risk of several diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes and some types of cancers.
One of the most significant components in the whole-cereal grains that play a significant part in its health properties is dietary fibre and phenolics, which are mainly concentrated in the outer layers of the cereal grain.
Production of whole grain foods is a complicated task for the food industry due to the mechanical negative effects of the bran on protein network formation and consequently on the sensory properties of the end product. Accordingly, the most common forms of cereals composition are milled products, such as white wheat flour or white rice.
Rice is a unique crop due to its colourless, soft taste, low sodium levels, easy digestible carbohydrates and hypoallergenic properties. Therefore, its flour is an attractive food material to be used for making gluten free foods.
Steamed bread is a traditional product made from white rice and is known as Apam in Malaysia. It is very popular in this part of the world and consumed at breakfast. It is formulated with white rice flour, sugar, salt, water and yeast. This kind of product is an example of gluten free foods.
Gluten free materials such as white rice flour do not have the required characteristics for production of leavened foods, since their proteins have no ability to develop a viscoelastic network such as gluten. In addition, lack of nutritional value has existed as a health problem of gluten free products specifically produced from white rice flour.
Consequently, in recent years, there has been an increasing interest in using different food materials such as, gums, hydrocolloids and starches to enable developing a similar gluten network. Moreover, whole grain flour such as millet, brown rice and sorghum were used to enrich gluten free foods. Accordingly, using whole grain cereals flour could be promising for the development of healthy and acceptable gluten free foods.
Modification of whole-cereal flour prior to its usage by using simple food processing, such as fermentation, could eliminate the negative effects of the bran. Pre-fermentation of the whole-flour might increase fibre solubility due to enzyme reactions on the cell wall structure.
The addition of pre-fermented wheat bran to wheat dough caused an increase in the bread volume of high fibre wheat bread. The addition of yeast-fermented peeled bran to wheat bread increased its volume by 10–15 percent and softened the crumb structure by 25–35 percent compared to its unfermented bran. Also, the addition of pre-fermented flour positively affected the texture, shelf life, aroma and nutritional value of gluten free foods, most probably because of metabolic activities of the microbes.
The positive effects associated with fermentation are the partial degradation of fibre and softening of bran particles. The acidification rate of the dough is also an important property to achieve appropriate crumb structure and higher bread volume, since it affects the enzyme activities.
Recently, fermentation became a trend for production of healthy foods from whole grain cereals. Industrial application of the biotechnology of fermentation for the production of gluten free baked products is a promising innovation in the health foods industry.
Fermented Brown Rice Flour
A study was recently conducted to evaluate assess the possibility of using fermented brown rice flour (FBRF) as a functional ingredient. The results show that with addition of FMRF, the peak viscosity increased significantly. However, breakdown, final viscosity and setback were significantly reduced.
The breakdown is associated with the ability of starch granules to be more resistant to being broken during heating and shearing. The results of this study indicated that the breakdown value was significantly reduced with the addition of FBRF.
This result may be explained by the fact that, with an increase in protein content, some rice proteins could protect starch granules from being broken and increase pasting viscosity, as FBRF had a higher protein content after fermentation.
In addition, the increase of peak viscosity and the decrease in breakdown values might indicate higher resistance to deformation and higher stability of the paste during baking. Moreover, the findings of the study are consistent with those of earlier research which reported that final viscosity of rice paste decreased at low pH (4.10) and, in this study, the acidity of the rice batter with FBRF was higher than that of the control (data not shown).
Another important finding was that the retrogradation phenomena could be significantly reduced in the final product, where setback—which is an indication of retrogradation phenomena—declined after addition of FBRF.
The viscoelastic properties of the white rice batter (WRB) and WRB containing 40 percent FBRF were studied using a dynamic oscillatory test.
The mechanical spectra of the WRB sample indicated that both elastic (G′) and viscos module (G′′) values were higher than that of WRB with FBRF at all the tested frequency ranges. In addition, G′ and G′′ of WRB containing FBRF, independent of the frequency, compared to the reference sample.
This suggested that the structure of WRB containing FBRF became softer and stronger than the control. It is reported that addition of acid to wheat dough reduced its extensibility and increased its resistance to extension.
The steamed white rice bread (SWRB) containing 40 percent FBRF gained higher volume (80 cubic cm) and specific volume (2.46 cubic cm/g) in comparison to the reference sample (70 cubic cm and 2.06 cubic cm/g, respectively).
The reduction in the pH during dough fermentation activates some enzymes such as α-amylase and protease. During addition of pre-fermented flour to wheat dough the acidity performs on the gluten network, which could improve extensibility and softness of the dough that helped to retain higher amount of carbon dioxide produced during fermentation, consequently increase the loaf volume.
However, high rate of acidity might increase hydrolysation of the protein network, resulting in less elastic and softer dough that lead in a reduction in the bread volume, and elevate staling rate and bread firmness, as indicated by the addition of sourdough with high acidity to wheat dough.
The moderate decrease in the pH (5–6) of the dough because of microbial fermentation positively influences its structure specifically in high fibre breads, where addition of cereal fibre causes detrimental effects on the dough and bread structure. Also, the increase in bread volume of SWRB containing FBRF could be linked with the reduction in the loss and storage moduli of its batter and the reduction in breakdown of starch granules, which make the structure of the batter softer, stronger and more stable during steaming.
The results indicated that the addition of FBRF softened the bread by recording less hardness value in comparison to the control. The SWRB containing FBRF had higher values of chewiness, cohesiveness and resilience, but a lower springiness value that indicated FBRF significantly improved the texture properties of SWRB.
The values of hardness and resilience of breads with fermented wheat germ were lower than those of the control, which means bread containing fermented germ was softer than its counterparts. The addition of pre-fermented wheat bran to wheat bread supplemented with bran improved the crumb texture properties, specifically the elasticity.
In addition, it improved the bread volume and its shelf life. It is reported that adding pre-fermented bran with yeast and lactic acid bacteria improved the carbon dioxide retention during dough proofing, and as a result increased the bread volume and the crumb softness.
Addition of fermented brown rice flour to steamed white rice bread significantly improved rheological and textural properties as well as volume of the bread as indicated in this study. Currently, investigation of the effect of fermented brown rice flour on the nutritional value of steamed white rice bread is under way.

So, today I decided to leave the car at home, walk there and explore.
The weather here in London today was spectacular. Really nice and warm June weather (30'C), sunny, almost cloudless sky. It was inviting to explore.
They grow vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, fruit shrubs. Produce is available every Saturday inside the community mini market. They don’t sell the produce, people give a donation for what they think it is worth.
It’s all organic.
I asked the guy (with the hat in the pictures) how he deals with snails and slugs and other pests and creepy crawlies, something I find very irritating in my own little urban garden.
In a relaxed tone of voice he explained that it is a no-kill organic zone, and certainly absolutely no toxic chemicals used in the area. He collects the snails and transports them elsewhere. Regarding the creepy crawlies, they just get washed off. He likes to maintain the organic food cycle, meaning, bugs become food for birds etc.
He mentioned several times that he likes the area pure from the energy perspective.
Well, I will be back next Saturday and get some seasonal, organically grown veggies and herbs.
What a discovery!!!
Enjoy the pictures of the 'Community Edible Garden' near me. | agronomy |

Marijuana is an ancient plant with borderline mystical properties — just ask the 266 million people who smoke it every year. Hemp, the industrial strain of Cannabis sativa, has been used for many purposes — food, fuel and textiles among them — for tens of thousands of years. Unlike its sister strain, hemp can’t get you high. But much like the drug, it has extraordinary qualities.
America is no stranger to hemp. In fact, Betsy Ross sewed the first American flag with hemp and George Washington farmed it at Mt. Vernon. Unfortunately, its full potential was never realized; drug restrictions that banned marijuana suppressed hemp, too. This spurious conflation quashed the industry for about 60 years, until a 2014 farm bill defined it as an agricultural crop, leaving the door ajar to American farmers.
As marijuana laws continue to loosen across the country — and the world — it looks like hemp could be brought back in a big way. With China leading in worldwide hemp production and Canadahaving capitalized on it during America’s drug war, now is the time to get in the game. In today’s fast-paced and tech-driven world, this means re-adopting the plant for today’s innovation economy.
Hemp could make a huge difference in everyday products, certainly. But even more exciting are the groundbreaking research and high-tech products it’s already spearheading.
Before we launch into some of hemp’s cooler applications, it’s important to understand just what makes hemp so unique.
First and foremost, hemp is incredibly environmentally friendly. Instead of depleting the land’s nutrients, like cotton does, hemp actually puts nitrogen back into the soil. It takes less water, but produces more plants per acre (for reference, one acre of hemp produces four times the paper an acre of trees does.) Its low lignin content and natural brightness reduces the need for pulping and bleaching, meaning fewer chemicals are needed all around.
Hemp grows in a wide variety of soils and climates, so it can be harvested in all 50 states (though only about half legally). It’s one of the strongest plant fibers and is naturally resistant to weeds and pests. It harvests quickly, growing 10 to 20 feet in just four months.
Then you have hemp seeds, an incredible source of protein. More than 25 percent of their calories come from high-quality protein, considerably more than similar foods like chia seeds and flax seeds. Various studies have linked them to a reduction in risk of heart disease and easing of PMS and digestion.
Hemp is also ideal for the production of ethanol, the cleanest-burning liquid bio-alternative to gasoline. Combustion releases water vapor and CO2, which plants absorb.
It’s no wonder hemp is called a smart plant, as it seems almost too good to be true, especially in a world rife with environmental and climate concerns. Considering farmers need the DEA’s approval before sowing seeds, there is still a barrier to entry — for now, anyway.
Restrictions aside, preliminary research has yielded results that only confirm hemp’s potential, and not just as an everyday alternative to cotton and wood, but for high-tech innovations.
Ever heard of graphene? Hemp fiber is also incredibly strong and light, and Dr. David Mitlin, a scientist from Clarkson University in New York, says his team has mimicked the nanomaterial’s amazing qualities using hemp waste. According to Dope Magazine:
Dr. Mitlin and his team were able to recycle leftover hemp-based fiber, cook it down and then dissolve it until carbon nanosheets that resembled the structure of graphene were left behind. They proceeded to build these nanosheets into powerful energy-storing supercapacitors with high energy density, thus creating a hemp based “graphene.”
The best part? This graphene-like hemp costs only a fraction of the price of traditional graphene: $500 a ton compared to $2,000 per gram. Dr. Mitlin also suspects the hemp-based product could outperform graphene.
Another amazing product is hempcrete, a concrete made with hemp and lime. For construction, hempcrete is essentially a super-concrete: Its negative CO2 footprint alleviates the greenhouse effect and improves air quality. Its natural insulation keeps homes warm or cool, reducing need for energy. Its resistance to cracks under high pressure makes it well-suited for earthquake-prone areas. It’s even mold, fire and termite proof.
Hemp also can be used to create bacteria-fighting fabrics. As early as the 1990s, scientists in China were developing blended hemp fabrics with superior resistance to staph in order to prevent sometimes fatal infections in hospitals. Considering at least two million Americans get staph infections when hospitalized, and 90,000 die, this could be a life-saving innovation here in the U.S.
Luckily, Colorado company EnviroTextiles is on it. The company’s hemp-rayon fabric blend has shown in preliminary studies to be 98.5 percent staph resistant and 65.1 percent pneumonia-free. In addition, EnviroTextiles offers hemp fabric resistant to UV and infrared wavelengths, ideal for military purposes.
These are just a few of the many high-tech and future-forward applications hemp has. As a form of sustainable agriculture, hemp farming holds enormous potential — for the planet, the economy, and even veterans seeking employment. Once the hemp is produced, it may not get you high, but figuratively, the sky’s the limit.
After all, how fitting is it for an ancient plant, used both 10,000 years ago and in early America, to continue its legacy in our modern world? Betsy’s hemp-based flag became a symbol for the country, which is now a leader in technological innovation. It would be foolish not to take the bull by the horns and ride it. | agronomy |

Studying plant gene function is essential for understanding the underlying mechanisms that govern plant growth, development, and environmental adaptation. This knowledge can improve crop yields and food security by developing plants resistant to diseases, pests, and environmental stress. Moreover, understanding plant gene function can also aid in environmental conservation efforts by providing insight into the mechanisms that plants use to adapt to changing environments and can help preserve endan-gered plant species. For several reasons, studying gene function in plants can be more challenging than in animals. Plant genomes are larger and more complex than animal genomes, making it harder to identify and study specific genes. Many plants have multiple copies of each chromosome, known as polyploidy, which can make it difficult to determine the function of specific genes. Few genetic tools and techniques are available for studying plant gene function than animal gene function. Additionally, plants are sessile organisms, meaning they are anchored in one place and cannot move in response to environmental changes. We can use several experimental techniques to study plant gene function, including genetic mapping, Tilling, CRISPR-Cas9, RNA interference (RNAi), transgenic plants, proteomics, and metabolomics. Though, experimental techniques for studying plant gene function have several disadvantages, including being time-consuming and re-source-intensive, having limited applicability, and having unintended effects. Along with experimental techniques, several computational techniques are also available to infer plant gene function, including Homology-based prediction, Gene ontology analysis, Co-expression analysis, Pathway analysis, Protein-protein interaction analysis, Machine learning, and Network biology. These computational techniques can complement experimental techniques and provide valuable insights into the function of plant genes, particularly for genes with unknown functions. In my research, I have developed computational tools and pipelines based on graph theory, such as a Graph convolution network to infer gene function (SeqGraphInfer) and integrate multi-omics graph data to identify critical element gene regulatory net-works (POTFUL and CentralityCosDist). Furthermore, I have developed a natural language processing workflow (PATHAK) to mine genes and their potential ontologies from research articles.

LED grow lights are ideal for growing plants inside the home. Using an LED grow light will help you plans grow faster. If you area lack sunlight that plants can use, you can still grow them with LED grow lights since they help in the process of photosynthesis.
Here are some of the benefits of using LED grow lights.
You can grow several plants, flowers, and vegetables inside your house with LEDs. You can grow lettuce, roses, thyme, cilantro, and many others. You get a lot from buying LED grow lights in terms of effective and affordable plant growth. There are also red and blue LED lights that you can buy for specific plant needs. Blue light may be used to produce sturdier seedlings and will help in controlling sprawling, trailing, or aggressive plants.

He farms 5 hectares of cotton which he grows with other crops including the local foods maize, cassava, yam and egusi.
Conventional cotton farmers around Glazoué can achieve yields of up to 40% more than those of organic growers. However, they have to spend around half their incomes on chemical fertilisers and pesticides. Organic growers also receive a premium for their cotton and can grow other crops like cashews, maize and sorghum alongside their cotton. This means that organic farmers tend to make a higher profit than conventional farmers. “Before organic, I used to use pesticides to grow my cotton. After spraying I would feel dizzy and sick. I had a rash all over my arms that itched terribly. I scratched until I bled. Now I grow organic cotton. I make more money and I don’t need to spend money on dangerous pesticides. I have been able to build a good home for my family and to buy a motorbike.”
Thanks to training and access to new technologies, Julién and his fellow organic cotton farmers have been able to dramatically increase their yields over the past two seasons making growing organic cotton a viable economic alternative. To Julién, it means more money in his pocket and less damage to his and his family’s health. | agronomy |

This paper dwelt on the role of women cooperative in agricultural development focusing on Awka south local government area of Anambra state. Sixty five 65 farmer members were randomly selected from six women cooperative in the area. In this research, descriptive analytical method was used to investigate the specific objectives. They include descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution table, percentage, mean and standard deviation. For the hypothesis posed, t test or t statistics was used to draw if there is any significant effect of the cooperative roles on the members output. Likert scale analysis was used to examine the perception of members on how cooperative functions activities such as input supply, marketing and processing have brought about an enhancement to their economic well being as represented by output. The researcher found out that women cooperative in the area has played significant role in marketing and processing of their members agricultural produce. The effect of the cooperative functions activities input supply, marketing and processing has significantly improved the income and standard of living of the women farmer member of cooperative in the area. Women cooperative are encouraged to process and market their member’s agricultural produce since it has strong significant effect on their member’s income, and also provide credit and improved varieties of inputs to their members at appropriate time to enhance their productivity. On the other hand, government should aid those women cooperative in the area by giving them loan and grants to boost their productivity and also construct a good road network for easy evacuation of their produce to the cities where they will attract more income to the members of women cooperative.

Although not an expert, I am impressed to add my views to the GMO debate after the court in Nigeria recently dismissed a case brought by somegroups against the introduction of Genetically Modified Seeds into the Agriculture Sector. What exactly are the issues with GMOs? I will refer to a few articles that have discussed this issue and also express my two pence
Traditional Crop Breeding and GMOs
Breeders identify certain traits and conduct research to see if they will be stay dominant in subsequent generations. They had and have in the process identified certain traits such as disease resistance when other similar crops were infected; bigger cobs and grains as compared to others, larger tubers; bigger fruits or seedless fruits etc. and bred to see if these traits will be carried to the next generation.
“The human race has been selectively breeding crops, thus altering plants’ genomes, for millennia. Ordinary wheat has long been strictly a human-engineered plant; it could not exist outside of farms, because its seeds do not scatter. For some 60 years scientists have been using “mutagenic” techniques to scramble the DNA of plants with radiation and chemicals, creating strains of wheat, rice, peanuts and pears that have become agricultural mainstays. The practice has inspired little objection from scientists or the public and has caused no known health problems” (David Freeman)
The difference is that selective breeding or mutagenic techniques tend to result in large swaths of genes being swapped or altered. GM technology, in contrast, enables scientists to insert into a plant’s genome a single gene (or a few of them) from another species of plant or even from a bacterium, virus or animal. Supporters argue that this precision makes the technology much less likely to produce surprises. Most plant molecular biologists also say that in the highly unlikely case that an unexpected health threat emerged from a new GM plant, scientists would quickly identify and eliminate it. “We know where the gene goes and can measure the activity of every single gene around it,” Goldberg says. “We can show exactly which changes occur and which don’t.”
Genetically Modified and Genetically Engineered – What’s the difference?
Genetically engineered and genetically modified are often used interchangeably when referring to varieties of crops developed by means other than traditional breeding. Genetic modification refers to a range of methods (such as selection, hybridization, and induced mutation) used to alter the genetic composition of domesticated plants and animals to achieve a desired result. Genetic engineering is one type of genetic modification that involves the intentional introduction of a targeted change in a plant, animal, or microbial gene sequence to achieve a specific result.
There is a scientific consensus that currently available food derived from GM crops poses no greater risk to human health than conventional food,but that each GM food needs to be tested on a case-by-case basis before introduction.Nonetheless, members of the public are much less likely than scientists to perceive GM foods as safe.The legal and regulatory status of GM foods varies by country, with some nations banning or restricting them, and others permitting them with widely differing degrees of regulation (Wikipedia)
BENEFITS AND WORRIES
The bulk of the science on GM safety points in one direction. Take it from David Zilberman, a U.C. Berkeley agricultural and environmental economist and one of the few researchers considered credible by both agricultural chemical companies and their critics. He argues that the benefits of GM crops greatly outweigh the health risks, which so far remain theoretical. The use of GM crops “has lowered the price of food,” Zilberman says. “It has increased farmer safety by allowing them to use less pesticide. It has raised the output of corn, cotton and soy by 20 to 30 percent, allowing some people to survive who would not have without it. If it were more widely adopted around the world, the price [of food] would go lower, and fewer people would die of hunger.” (David Freedman)
In the future, Zilberman says, those advantages will become all the more significant. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that the world will have to grow 70 percent more food by 2050 just to keep up with population growth. Climate change will make much of the world’s arable land more difficult to farm. GM crops, Zilberman says, could produce higher yields, grow in dry and salty land, withstand high and low temperatures, and tolerate insects, disease and herbicides.
And although it might seem creepy to add virus DNA to a plant, doing so is, in fact, no big deal, proponents say. Viruses have been inserting their DNA into the genomes of crops, as well as humans and all other organisms, for millions of years. They often deliver the genes of other species while they are at it, which is why our own genome is loaded with genetic sequences that originated in viruses and nonhuman species. “When GM critics say that genes don’t cross the species barrier in nature, that’s just simple ignorance,” says Alan McHughen, a plant molecular geneticist at U.C. Riverside. Pea aphids contain fungi genes. Triticale is a century-plus-old hybrid of wheat and rye found in some flours and breakfast cereals. Wheat itself, for that matter, is a cross-species hybrid. “Mother Nature does it all the time, and so do conventional plant breeders,”.
Could eating plants with altered genes allow new DNA to work its way into our own? It is possible but hugely improbable. Scientists have never found genetic material that could survive a trip through the human gut and make it into cells. Besides, we are routinely exposed to—and even consume—the viruses and bacteria whose genes end up in GM foods. The bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, for example, which produces proteins fatal to insects, is sometimes enlisted as a natural pesticide in organic farming. “We’ve been eating this stuff for thousands of years,” Goldberg says.
In any case, proponents say, people have consumed as many as trillions of meals containing genetically modified ingredients over the past few decades. Not a single verified case of illness has ever been attributed to the genetic alterations. Mark Lynas, a prominent anti-GM activist who in 2013 publicly switched to strongly supporting the technology, has pointed out that every single news-making food disaster on record has been attributed to non-GM crops, such as the Escherichia coli–infected organic bean sprouts that killed 53 people in Europe in 2011. (David Freedman)
Most scientists would say that almost all the food we eat has been “genetically modified” by man and that genetic modification includes not only conventional breeding, but simple selections man has made over millennia. Carrots were not orange until the 1700’s and tomatoes used to be the size of marbles. Corn used to have very small ears and kernels with hard seed coats and low digestibility. (See picture below from NSF).
Genetically modified food would include almost all the food we eat. Several different way plant genomes are altered “conventionally” and via genetic engineering are described here. Genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. Although many people think this means moving genes from one species to another, that is not always the case. There are several biotechnological methods of manipulating genes. Sometime this is done by actually moving genes within a species or from a closely related species. This resulting organism is referred to as cisgenic.
Gene editing is another method of manipulating DNA. There are several techniques available for gene editing including zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs), and the clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas systems. Gene editing may involve deletion, insertion, silencing or repression. The resulting organism from gene editing is called subgenic. The type of genetic engineering that the public is most likely familiar with is transgenic. This is where a gene is moved from one non-closely related species to another. Cisgenic changes to DNA would also be possible through conventional breeding, while transgenic changes to DNA are not possible via conventional breeding. (Keith Edmisten)
Both GMOs and GE foods have several advantages in strengthening the global food supply, including pest and disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, drought tolerance, cold tolerance and higher crop yields. The nutrition of certain foods can also be boosted, as in the case of golden rice, which has been genetically engineered to include more beta carotene (vitamin A); this offers more nutrition to populations who face a higher prevalence of malnutrition.
According to the FDA, GMOs and GE foods meet the same safety standards as foods from non-engineered crops and have been evaluated for toxicity, allergenicity and long-term safety; as of now, there are no GMO or GE foods on the market that do not meet these standards. Still, some critics argue that GMOs and GE foods have contributed to the increasing prevalence of allergies and that there may be human health risks that we don’t yet know about. Others suggest that there are hazards to the environment and its ecosystem: The use of GMOs and GE foods may cause unintended harm to other organisms; gene transfer to an unintended species may occur, unintentionally modifying that species genome; and pesticide resistance may develop.
Mutations occur spontaneously in nature without human intervention and identifying these changes has been the basis for conventional crop breeding. I remember conducting a study in 1987 on the colors of maize as my first degree research project. It was interesting to find purple seeds and red seeds in white maize cobs and taking them to a second generation to see if these colors will be dominant, also crossbreeding various colors to see what will happen in the next generation. This hasbeen the basis of conventional crop breeding.
Nigeria is the largest producer of yam tuber in the world, however, yield is 11 tons per hectare whereas Mali a neighboring country and Japan record yields of 22 tons per hectare. The difference comes from technology. In Nigeria yams are planted using yam setts from harvested tubers which still carry diseases and limitations from the parent stock. In Japan and Mali yams are planted using vines produced through biotechnology (hydroponics and aeroponics). They are disease free, higher yielding with better starch content. IITA and BiocropsNigeria (a private based biotechnology company) based in Abuja Nigeria are spearheading the transition using biotechnology to produce vines for yam production which should transform the yam value chain and make them to be more acceptable for export.
My Two Pence
Does GMO change maize, tomato, yam etc. from being what they are? Was any of the nutrients in these crops lost due to genetic modification? The only available answer for now is NO!
With the world population on the increase and challenges of food shortages; Are new technologies not the solution to rapidly produce food? The only answer available for now is YES! – The US Military uses Hydroponics and Aeroponics to produce food for their men in war zones to optimise the little space available and also to save cost of logistics of importing food into war zones for its officers. (Diamantis& Kotler)
There are people who are afraid of the effect of genetic modifications in the future. I think these fears are unfoundedbut have been hyped by Hollywood science fiction movies where plants become monsters and start attacking people. These are fictions and money making scams. Genetic modification in crops are as old as mankind, technology has only helped to speed up the process as against conventional breeding that takes years of research and confirmation.
I think activists should stop crying wolf where there is none and come up with better solutions if they have one. We have a hungry world to feed!!! | agronomy |

Native to India's Malabar Coast and to Sri Lanka, Piper nigrum is a woody, climbing vine. It is also found in Vietnam, Malaysia, Madagascar and Brazil.
Black pepper is harvested when nearly ripe, fermented then dried at a moderately elevated temperature. It is composed of pulp and seeds together.
White pepper is obtained with fully ripe Pepper fruits. The outer hull is removed, leaving only the seed. Usually the berries are soaked for about a week after fermentation.
Green pepper is early-harvested, far from ripe and processed in a way to exclude fermentation. It is composed of pulp and seeds.
Based on harvest periods a and the post-processing method, all three Pepper types could in principle, be produced from the same plant.
Fresh, woody, warm, spicy odour
Known and appreciated since Ancient Times, in the Roman Empire Pepper was an important product with a high market value. In fact, it was used as a monetary unit, notably to pay taxes and ransoms. In the 15th century, the Portuguese traded Pepper directly with Malabar Coast. The search for Pepper was Vasco de Gama's principal motivation when he set off an sailing explorations. | agronomy |

This Washed Yirgacheffe Grade 2 Kanketi comes from smallholder farmers in the villages of Foggi and Negele Gorbitu in Abaya which borders the Gedeo Zone in Yirgacheffe. Coffee farming in Abaya started in the 1970s under the European Union's Coffee Improvement Program. Only in the last decade did farmers in Foggi and Negele Gorbitu start coffee production. Coffee from these villages have a bean structure and cup quality that reflect vigor of their youthful coffee trees.
This coffee was produced by Fikadu Abayneh Kebede whose mill serves approximately 400 smallholder farmers from the villages of Foggi and Negele Gorbitu. Fikadu started working in coffee over 15 years ago, under the supervision of his father; he established the wet mill in Foggi about 10 years ago. Fikadu's wet mill buys freshly harvested coffee cherries from local farmers for processing. The cherries are fermented in tanks for 36 hours before being washed. Afterwards the coffee goes through a natural drying process on raised beds over a period of a week. Post processing, coffees from Fikadu's mill are put up for sale through Kanketi Coffee Export. | agronomy |

Each garden is unique and specific in some way, and we try to create gardens which fulfil the innermost wishes of every client.
We can currently offer realization of your garden, from its establishment to subsequent maintenance. All jobs are performed by qualified staff, with many years of experience in the field.
Before planning the garden design, we meet with you in person on site to familiarize ourselves with the space of the future garden and your concept. Upon agreement, we prepare a preliminary proposal of the garden design. If accepted, we draw up a budget and complete documentation, which we discuss with you.
- Terrain Modifications
We do rough terrain modifications (levelling any irregularities, building natural terrain waves), as well as subtle modifications (preparing lawns and beds for planting).
These jobs mostly involve moving soil and replacement or replenishment of garden substrate in order to improve the soil quality.
- Planting of Shrubs, Perennials, Trees
Plants are always supplied by specialized certified tree nurseries with a long tradition. These nurseries are concerned with the improvement of planting procedures and guarantee high quality.
- Lawn Establishment
A well-chosen soil type is a prerequisite for a high-quality and long-lasting attractive lawn. We establish lawns by sowing, as well as by laying turf.
Both methods require that the ground be well-prepared, weed-free, with permeable and non-settling soil containing hummus.
- Irrigation Systems
Irrigation systems delivering moisture directly to the root system are an integral part of garden establishment. According to your needs, we can design such a system, present you with a price quote and implement the system you choose. Irrigation saves you considerable time . Switching on and off is controlled automatically throughout the day and night. With the irrigation system, you can just enjoy your beautiful garden and relax.
- Subsequent Maintenance
Following the garden establishment, year round maintenance is necessary so that your efforts to create a marvellous garden are not in vain (see Subsequent Maintenance). | agronomy |

I’m fairly persistent though, so I do occasionally get vegetables to grow and when that happens I am so overjoyed I can barely contain myself. What I love about gardening is that the garden can surprise you sometimes with plants that you either didn’t plant, or planted so long ago you gave up on them when suddenly you are faced with a fruit from a plant that came out of nowhere! That’s what happened today. In my little square foot garden I found a rock melon growing on the trellis. I remember planting rock melon, but it was at least 4 or 5 months ago. Could it have laid dormant in the ground this long? Surely it hasn’t been there the whole time and I just haven’t noticed? Well, a very welcome surprise. Grow little fella, grow!
I did say there were more surprises though! A plant that I definitely didn’t install myself: passionfruit! A kind little bird or other little animal must have donated a seed somewhere along the line. Next to our compost bin, growing on an old decaying mango tree is a rampant passionfruit vine FULL of fruit! There must be 100 fruit on that vine or more! They haven’t ripened yet, but I’m thinking I’ll have to learn how to make passionfruit curd with it. I’ve also heard somewhere that you can empty all the fruit and then freeze the pulp to use as needed. I can’t wait! Probably another couple of weeks before maturity at least.
The last little surprise in the garden is the rose that I planted last year donning a tiny flower bud. It must be a sign of good weather ahead – the start of winter. And well deserved after a hot and humid summer.
This has been a great way to cheer me up after a couple of pretty stressful weeks. I accidentally deleted all the files for the new website I’ve been writing. I finished writing it and then made a mistake trying to back up and ended up deleting instead. Ooops. Well, I’m almost finished re-writing and I should be able to post here VERY soon my brand new store. Keep checking up – it should be any day now! | agronomy |

Every homeowner wants to ensure that their yard looks nice and healthy. It is not easy to ensure that your home yard is well maintained. With most people, they fail to know the right way for the maintenance if their yard. You thus need to consider hiring a lawn care firm to handle the task. You need to ensure that you pick a reliable lawn care form so that you can get the best services. You need to put in mind the factors below to assist you to pick the perfect lawn care firm.
The first thing you need to look at from lawn care company is the certification. Consider the lawn care contractor that is well trained to handle the task. You are supposed to research the background of the firm. Confirm that the firm employees trained staffs; this means that they will be aware of how to do the application of the fertilizers and pesticides right. Ensure that you get a copy of label from the lawn care company you want to hire. Choose the lawn care contractor that will do the task according to the law in that region.
The other crucial thing should be testing the customer care service that the lawn care company offers. A good lawn care company should be ready to communicate with you well. During the process, it is crucial that there is good communication. This means that in case you need the services of the firm, they will be available always. Ensure that the service provider will respond perfectly to your calls and emails. It is essential that you define your needs before searching for a lawn care company to hire. You should consider the service provider that will provide you with the services according to your requirements.
When you want to find the right lawn care service provider, you are supposed to check at the tools that are posed by the firm. A good service provider should have done the right maintenance of the tools. For example, the reliable lawn care service provider will ensure that the mowers blades are always sharp. The good company is one that ensures that they do the maintenance of the tools regularly. You should look for the time that the lawn care company works with the mowers before sharpening the blades. A good lawn care service provider should sharpen the mower blades not more than ten hours of working with it. Therefore, you are going to have the work on your yard done professionally as you need. Additionally, it is best that you select the service providers that have purchased the modern tools for handling the work as those will give the best services. | agronomy |

Not anymore, because Belgium-based product designer Tom De Vrieze has created a compact 3D-printed Lawnfixer that can be easily mounted on a broomstick to repair all dead grass patches. It has sharp spikes on its tiny round head for scratching off the ground which acts as a seed dispenser to put grass seeds within the plowed ground for healthy grass growth.
It is made of solid nylon material that is created using a 3D-printer by the designer. There are two ways to use this tool – Soft Way and Hard Way. In soft way, you just need to scratch the ground lightly while putting grass seeds into the ground; it is for areas with light spotting. On the other hand, in hard way method you need to plow the ground rigidly while the round head keeps dispensing the seeds within the plowed area; this method is required in areas with heavy spotting in a lawn.
Lawnfixer comes in two models – Model S (without broom stick) and Model M (with a broom stick). Price of this tool also varies depending on the model you plan to buy, i.e. Model S for € 49.99 (approx. US $65), whereas the Model M for € 74.99 (approx. US $97). Pick a model that suits you and keep your lawns evergreen with persistent green grass.

Our long-term goal is to identify and characterize how varying climate factors shift a plant's metabolic priorities and alter resistance. You can read on to find out more about specific projects below.
CARBON ALLOCATION TO PLANT CHEMICAL DEFENSE IN RESPONSE TO DROUGHT
While we know that severe or prolonged drought eventually reduces chemical defenses, the point at which resources begin to constrain defense and how this interacts with primary metabolism is unknown. By quantifying the interaction between chemical defense, non-structural carbohydrates, and primary metabolism under varying levels of drought stress we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the processes underlying widespread drought-induced tree mortality.
To this end we are testing classical plant defense hypotheses as they relate to drought stress physiology. As part of a collaborative NSF project, we are employing both field and greenhouse approaches to track changes in non-structural carbohydrates, gas exchange, and plant volatile and tissue chemistry along a drought continuum. By coupling stable isotopes with RNAseq, we hope to identify drought-induced mechanisms driving chemical defenses from both a carbon and gene expression perspective.
TRADE-OFFS BETWEEN PLANT GROWTH AND DEFENSE
Plants are constrained by limiting resources and defenses come at a cost, namely of other critical processes, such as growth and reproduction. We still have only a very limited understanding of the causal drivers of such trade-offs including the importance of particular selections pressures, such as herbivory or competition. Addressing the underlying mechanisms driving observable trade-offs is essential for understanding how plants "decide" to allocate their resources under various environmental conditions. This work can be critical to improving breeding programs and has large-scale economic effects for both ecology and industry.
We are using genotype comparisons within populations of conifers to assess constitutive and induced chemistry as it relates to inherent growth rates and other defense metrics (i.e. resin ducts). We are also assessing how these trade-offs may vary under different levels of drought, in response to various management practices, and different regional climate regimes.
MYCORRHIZAL SIGNALING AND PLANT DEFENSE
Plant symbionts, such as mycorrhizae, can enhance plant fitness through a variety of different mechanisms including enhanced nutrient acquisition and increased tolerance against pests, pathogens, and abiotic stress. Plants are also very perceptive and can eavesdrop on volatiles released by herbivore-damaged neighbors and prime their own defenses beforehand. Research in a limited number of plant systems suggests that defense-inducing signals can be transported to uninfested neighbors via belowground hyphal networks. We are currently investigating whether this phenomenon occurs in cereal crops (wheat and barley) and are looking to expand the mechanistic portion of this work by collaborating with other labs who have the facilities and prior experience to investigate this project further.
SOIL LEGACY EFFECTS ON VOLATILE PRODUCTION IN WHEAT
Cover and pulse crops affect the composition of soil microbial communities, which in turn, can alter plant growth and defense. One way that soil microbes influence plant defense is through the priming and production of plant volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The resulting volatile profiles can then alter the efficacy of the plant’s direct and indirect defenses. In addition, environmental factors can influence plant root exudates released into the soil, which can also cause shifts in soil microbial community composition. However, the relationship between the diversity of the microorganisms and the magnitude and directionality of the above and belowground volatile profiles remains unclear.
As part of a multi-disciplinary USDA-NIFA project, we are currently investigating how climate, cover crops, and livestock grazing affect the soil microbiota, and in turn, how these soil “legacy effects” impact the above and belowground volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by wheat in the subsequent year. We are particularly interested in how these volatiles impact the preference of the wheat stem sawfly and how legacy effects influence herbivore-induced host location cues used by its natural enemies. | agronomy |

That means it's time for wonderful flowers to cut. Right now gardens in North Carolina are full of peonies, and hydrangeas--my favorite!--are just about ready to cut. So I thought I'd pass along this simple tip for making fresh-cut flowers last longer.
The small amount of bleach does no harm to the flowers, and it keeps the water clear. Flowers last much longer in clear water.
See the flowers in the photo above? That picture was taken 12 days after I picked the hydrangeas. As you can see, there's a bit of yellowing on some of the leaves, but the flowers are still going strong!
Bonus tip: if one of your hydrangeas does start to wilt, remove it from the vase, make a fresh cut at the base of the stem, and soak the entire flower (not just the stem) in a sink or bowl of water for about 45 minutes. The petals themselves will absorb some of the water, perking them right back up.

At Pasturebird, we believe the solution is in the soil. Regenerative practices restore, rather than deplete the planet. It is our vision to revolutionize farming from a man-made system of depletion back to a natural ecosystem of perpetual regeneration and replenishment; a genuine regenerative future - first for poultry, for people and ultimately the planet. Because healthy soil traps significantly more carbon, regenerative agriculture could be the key to helping stop climate change. Unfortunately, regenerative and pasture raised are loosely defined, making loopholes in raising practices commonplace. Pasturebird is uniquely transparent in its raising practices so you can witness first hand their commitment to the people, the planet, and the animals.
“We believe in farming for the next generation. That’s why soil health is at the center of everything we do. We see soil as more valuable than gold and so rich soil is the legacy we leave.” - Farmer Paul
With Pasturebird, you can really taste the difference. But, don’t take our word for it. Our chickens contain three times more Omega 3, vitamins and minerals than other chickens with housing that moves daily to give them the freshest grass available. Using state of the art solar powered mobile coops, every one of our chickens is moved to fresh pasture every day. When you allow the chickens to live a good life on fresh pasture and under the warmth of the sun the way nature intended, it is no wonder you see such an incredible result. Because you can’t regenerate soil in a petri dish, we must do the work to restore our habitat. The future of our planet depends on the regeneration of our soil that a truly pasture raised chicken provides.
Please enjoy Pasturebird from our home to yours. | agronomy |

Carolina Fresh Farms believes in providing our customers with endless knowledge of their lawns. In order to provide the customer with the best advice for their lawn, CFF offers FREE soil sampling at every location. It's convenient and simple. Just drop off 2 cups of your soil at any location and we handle the rest (PDF directions on how to take your soil sample properly). Your soil will be processed by the same labs which we use to test our farms. Once we receive the results, our horticulturist will review the results and make any necessary recomendations.
Fertilizer Products -
Preemergent fertilizers are used in the turf industry to prevent many annual weeds which may invade your lawn. There are many products in the market today for the consumer to choose from. Carolina Fresh Farms recommends the use of the professional product Barricade. If used properly, Barricade will last longer than many other competitor’s products in the marketplace today. Due to the longer germination period of weeds and high humidity levels in the Southern states, our customers find that this product is far superior to many others for the control of annual weeds such as crabgrass. Depending on the time of year and the type of lawn you have, this product is available in both a high nitrogen formulation as well as a low nitrogen formulation.
16-0-8 .38% Barricade
0-0-15 .38% Barricade
Many broadleaf weeds such as clover and dandelion are not effectively controlled by preemergent herbicides. Carolina Fresh Farms has selected the professional product Confront 3 as the suggested product for the control of broadleaf weeds. Confront 3 is available in a high nitrogen formulation as well as a low nitrogen formulation. The low nitrogen formulation (0-0-15) is excellent for spot treating the lawn or for use on warm season lawns during the dormancy period. The Confront 3 products are certainly modern day weed and feeds. Confront 3 is labeled for sensitive lawns such as Centipede and St. Augustine.
19-0-6 Confront 3 + Dimension
0-0-15 Lockup (not for use on St. Aug.)
Combination Pre and Post-emergent Fertilizer
Don’t know where to start to fix your lawn? Many times we suggest this one of a kind product. It will fertilize your lawn, prevent annual weeds and control broadleaf weeds.
19-0-6 Confront 3 + Dimension
Nothing is worse than watching your lawn decline due to a fungus. Carolina Fresh Farms suggests the use of the professional systemic fungicide Eagle to prevent disease before it begins. Due to the systemic nature of the chemical, Eagle fungicide is an excellent choice to prevent and cure many diseases such as Brown Patch on a lawn.
Eagle 0.62 granular
Insect Control Fertilizers
With milder winters in recent years, insect damage in the home lawn has been on the rise. Carolina Fresh Farms has several products to choose from depending on the problem. Talstar with the active ingredient bifenthrin has long been recommended for the control of surface insects such as imported fire ants and armyworms. If root feeding insects such as mole crickets or grubs are the issue, we suggest the use of Merit insecticide. If your lawn has both subsurface and surface feeding insects than we may suggest that you apply Aloft insecticide to your lawn. All three products are granular and may be applied with the convenience of a fertilizer spreader.
Carolina Fresh Farms offers many formulations of straight fertilizers for general fertilization of your landscape throughout the growing season. Each product serves a purpose within the landscape. The Woodace products are slow release and designed for ornamental plants. The 12-3-6 Woodace formulation is for acid loving plants such as Azaleas. There are three basic formulations for the lawn. The 16-25-12 provides extra Phosphorous for increased root growth. We commonly refer to this product as starter fertilizer. The 25-0-12 formulation contains IBDU nitrogen. IBDU does not require warm temperatures to release; therefore, this product will keep your Carolina Blue fescue lawn greener during the winter months when most fertilizers will not work. Our most advanced fertilizer product is certainly 20-0-25 formulation which contains EXPO. EXPO is slow release Potassium. In the Southern states, Potassium is either unavailable in a clay soil or leaches quickly in a sandy soil. Potassium is crucial for the survival of your lawn through extreme conditions such as drought or the cold winter months.

Here in North Carolina, the state’s Agriculture Commissioner is calling on farmers in the Tarheel State to help meet more of the demand across the world for corn.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, over 96 million acres of corn was planted in the United States this year, but less than one percent was in North Carolina.
Commissioner Troxler has challenged North Carolina farmers to come up with a certified 400 bushel per acre yield of corn.
North Carolina corn farmers are forecasted to harvest about 114 bushels per acre this year, which up from last year and more than the 10-year average.
Troxler’s request to see more corn produced in North Carolina comes on the heels of a drought in the Midwest that has devastated parts of the nation’s corn crop. | agronomy |

One year ago the Plant a Seed & See What Grows Foundation helped launch yet another school garden program in Canada, at Deer Lake School in Burnaby, BC. As the current school year (such as it is) winds down, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at the results of this worthy project. Of course, this year’s spring season planting was limited, and subsequent harvesting not possible due to the COVID-19 outbreak, but this did little to stifle the positive impact that the garden project had on all who participated. Let’s take a look at the feedback we have received from this proud group of green thumbs!
How the Deer Lake School Garden Project Has Made a Positive Difference in the Lives of Students and Faculty
Fostered Collaboration, Problem Solving and Applied Design
The connection between a school garden and horticultural education is clear, but other forms of knowledge and skill development are evident during project inception and the early stages to follow. For instance, as the project broke ground, students from Deer Lake’s Grade 8 Applied Design class and the Grade 9 class collaborated to help analyze formal design drawings, assemble the materials, and prepare the garden site. These adolescents tapped into their cognitive and creative abilities for problem solving and applied design.
Gave K-5 Students Tangible Insight into the Seed to Table Concept
One segment considered among the primary stakeholders (so to speak) for this project are K-5 students and WOW did they shine bright!
They took on the responsibility of planting in the garden beds, putting to soil a large variety of nutritious crops-to-be, including radishes, peas, carrots, lettuce, beans, tomatoes, onions, watermelon, herbs, nasturtium, rhubarb, beets, corn, kale, spinach and sunflowers. As the 2019 school year came to a conclusion, they were able to harvest some of the fruits (or should be say vegetables) of their labor. The harvest was used to contribute to the school’s lunch program, which allowed students to witness the seed-to-table concept in action. But the harvest kept on giving beyond the end of the 2018-19 school year:
“The small garden the K-5 students planted had a huge harvest. Throughout the summer our support staff and various teachers who dropped by were able to enjoy vast quantities of fresh tomatoes, peas, green beans, corn and lettuce. In the fall of 2019 when school resumed , there were still many cherry tomatoes, kale, lettuce, sunflowers and watermelon ready to harvest and explore. Cleaning the beds for winter enabled students to study all the parts of the plants. We were also able to harvest some spinach, kale and lettuce all during the winter months, even in the snow! Students could freely snack on them during recesses. In fact, there was so much harvest from the garden that our own staff couldn’t keep up with it all and it sparked the idea to do more this past summer to connect with the Food Bank, or with Quest Food Exchange, to receive some of our extra vegetables.” – Gaileen Woytko, Director of Operations, Deer Lake School
Provided a Sanctuary for Much Needed Pollinators
Pollinators are a critical part of our ecosystem. If they don’t thrive, we don’t thrive, and now participating students (our future) understand this very well. Deer Lake School’s Grade 7 class took on a very important role, planting and caring for a pollinator garden that produced a healthy variety of wildflowers that will continue to attract an array of essential pollinators for years to come. The entire Burnaby, BC community is in good hands thanks to these young gardeners!
An Opportunity for Mentorship
There were mentoring opportunities throughout the school garden project. Sure, older students provided guidance to their younger peers, but to the delight of teachers they found the opposite to be true too. The results were not only inspiring, but downright adorable!
“Teachers found some unique learning opportunities within our school where younger students taught older students about the garden. An example for us was with kindergarten students who planted daffodil bulbs and learned what care they needed, their life cycle, and so they had an opportunity to teach the Grade 3 class how to water and care for the bulbs. It was an unexpected benefit of having various grades involved in the garden.” – Gaileen Woytko
Provided Opportunity to Get a Healthy Daily Dose of Fresh Air
Beyond recess and lunch hour there is little opportunity to get outside in a traditional school setting. However, with a large number of studies validating a strong shift towards outdoor learning experiences, schools across Canada are looking for ways to incorporate the great outdoors into their respective curricula. A school garden is a perfect channel for this, and Deer Lake most certainly took advantage of it:
“It got kids outside in the fresh air and kept them physically active for several weeks.“ – Gaileen Woytko
The Unexpected Benefits
K-5 students learned all about the seed-to-table process. Grade 8 and 9 students explored more intensive concepts of growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, transporting, marketing, consumption, and disposal of food and food-related items. Grade 11 students dug deep into life sciences, studying plants and the variables that affect plant life from their very own school garden. All of these tremendous learning experiences were anticipated in some shape or form. However, there were some unanticipated benefits that were realized throughout.
i) Supported First People’s Principals of Learning
When Deer Lake School planned to build a garden, they did not anticipate that it would have to support their First People’s Principles of Learning. The garden turned out to be a tremendous asset in that regard, through the following:
- Supported the well-being of the self, the family, the community, the land, the spirits, and the ancestors.
- Provided a holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential, and relational experience that focused on connectedness, on reciprocal relationships, and a sense of place.
- Gave insight into the consequences of one’s actions.
- Helped foster a sense of patience and understanding that anything worth doing may take time.
ii) Taught Students About Food Waste
Food waste is a large problem in Canada. Not only is it evident in households, but in Canadian schools too. After a successful harvest, Deer Lake Secondary quickly discovered an issue that would soon provide another amazing opportunity for learning:
“Since our students have started growing vegetables in the garden they have commented about the amount of food waste they are noticing in our hot lunch. It has brought a new awareness on how the production of food really works, how labor intensive it is, and how much food waste there is in our community.“ – Gaileen Woytko
iii) Formed a New Respect for Insects (and other crawlies)
Insects are a misunderstood lot and are often dismissed as creepy crawlies to be squashed underfoot. Deer Lake School students no longer think this way thanks to the garden project. They now understand the concept of beneficial bugs and other critical writers:
“Younger students have learned a new respect for insects as they work in the garden. Prior to having a garden, students had a lot of fear around bees, spiders, slugs, ants, moths, etc. But as they spent more time in the garden teachers observed that their fears disappeared and they had a new respect for the roles of insects in the gardening process.” – Gaileen Woytko
iv) Taking Their Work Home with Them
The 2020 school year quickly changed with the arrival of COVID-19 on Canadian soil. But while spring planting and harvesting on school grounds came to a halt, the learning process did not:
“Since we are presently not growing at the school due to COVID 19, our Kindergarten students (with the help of their parents) are setting up spaces in their yards and balconies to have pollinator gardens. Our kindergarten teacher is sending interested families seeds. So even if our school garden is on hold so far this year, we are still sharing the love and opportunities out into our community. It has been an unexpected new learning opportunity. Our students have been extremely proud of their garden! Teachers comment on that regularly, and during the COVID-19 period with distance learning, a Grade 4 teacher commented that one of the number one topics about what they miss at school has been the garden, and they ask regularly how it is doing.” – Gaileen Woytko
SOME CONCLUDING (AND INSPIRATIONAL) QUOTES FROM DEER LAKE FACULTY
“The garden has grown our students in wonderful ways. Small children, who will not eat a vegetable at home, eat them daily out of the garden. The wildlife that has started to enter our schoolyard makes our play space so much more interesting. From the addition of plants, we began to discover worms, new insects and how many different kinds of bees there are. Not long after these arrived, birds and small animals began appearing. We began to realize how much each of these elements depends on each other. Children learned to approach dirt and the natural world with respect and care. The patience and perseverance required for growing plants is a life lesson not often experienced in our fast, instant gratification culture. There is something in nature that calms the spirit of a child and at the same time excites their wonder and curiosity. It is something our urban students would rarely get to experience if they did not have this chance at school.” Heather Gagnier, Kindergarten Teacher
“With the garden I am excited for us to have the opportunity to have the space to investigate different types of plant life, without compromising the space in the classroom. The study of plant life can continue throughout the year as we are able to go out to the garden during multiple points to observe and interact with plants that have different growing seasons.” Kayla Whitworth, Life Science (Biology) / Chemistry & Anatomy & Physiology Teacher
“In a Bible class I teach, we have the opportunity to discuss ideas related to our spiritual selves and spiritual growth. To help illustrate this, my students and I planted seeds, cared for the plants and watched them grow. This gave us the opportunity to make some meaningful comparisons between what is needed for plant growth and what is needed for growth in our own lives!” (Kayla Whitworth)
“We are so grateful for the financial support we received from Plant a Seed! We believe it’s only just the beginning for our school as we learn how to more fully incorporate garden classroom learning into our entire K-12 school. Our engagement is growing, like our garden!” – Gaileen Woytko

All to see their beautiful sunflowers.
I’d only ever been to Sopley Farm in the autumn, to pick pumpkins. I had no idea what to expect during the summer and I hoped it wouldn’t be disappointed. I needed haven’t worried, as we were greeted with wave upon wave of rainbow-hued flowers. Glorious golden sunflowers stretching into the sky, gladioli in every shade imaginable, delicate purple flowers tentatively poking their heads out. It was beautiful.
Picking raspberries, trying tayberries
We admired the flowers and took a few photos before heading further into the fields. Here we spotted rows and rows of berries: blackberries, raspberries, gooseberries, tayberries. Delicious berries. We weren’t in a rush, so we decided to pick a few raspberries.
I tried my first tayberry!
I pulled some funny faces as I ate it but on reflection, I liked it!
When we pottered back to the farm shop, to buy our berries, I spotted some sunflowers for sale. £2 for 5. I couldn’t resist.
I genuinely enjoyed visiting Sopley Farm, and I can’t wait to visit for some pumpkin picking in October! I think stopping by to see the sunflowers and picking berries might become a new July/August tradition too … watch this space. | agronomy |

Biodiesel is a purely ecological, renewable and sustainable fuel whose use was officially launched after the Kyoto treaty was signed with the initial aim of reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Europe has tried to go all this one step further by giving an alternative in agricultural production in connection with an attempt to get reduce the dependence of imported fossil fuels.
In recent years, the company has managed to keep its production purely from Hellenic feedstock, using oilseeds of sunflower, oilseed rape and soybeans, coming entirely from contractual farming with Hellenic producers. A large part of its production is based on Hellenic cottonseed and used vegetable oils and fats.
Vegetable raw glycerin is a by-product of Biodiesel production where the company is marketed and exported to several countries around the world.
In recent years, with the rapid growth of its network of contractual farming, the company has a large activity in the production and supply of animal feed which is the by-product of the processing of oilseeds of contractual farming. The specific activity of the company as well as the entire’s sector assists the most in Hellenic livestock farming but in the export activity of the country as the part of the feed which is not available to the Greek breeder is exported. The above two ways of trading have a result the reduction the trade deficit of the country. | agronomy |

Berry says, “Mr. Tanczos has identified the heavy weight of bereaucracy and compliance that could destroy New Zealand’s small hemp industry.”
Medsafe is the authority charged with regulating the hemp industry. It licenses growers, tests their crops and regulates what is produced. Berry says, “I also agree with Nandor that Medsafe has no business being involved in the hemp industry. Of course, unlike Tanczos, I’d say this about every other regulatory body in every other industry.”
Medsafe wish to charge a $550 fee for the licensing of hemp growers and to test the THC content of plants regularly, which costs an extra $300 each time.
Stephen Berry asks, “How did these people get the idea that they are right to do this? Why should they be allowed to charge people for growing what they wish on their own land? Worst of all, Medsafe expects hemp growers to fund their own potential incrimination, through charging them for the testing of THC content in plants. Even if the industry isn’t completely destroyed by this, the few remaining growers will have had theior property rights steamrolled.”
Libertarianz can appreciate the small progress being made in the liberalisation of laws surrounding cannabis related issues. “It is good that we have gotten this far,” says Berry, “but there is still much progress to be made. We cannot be satisfied until people are left to grow their hemp in peace, without being hounded and destroyed by bereaucrats and clipboard nazis.” | agronomy |

Pornpipat “Paul” Kasemsap has always had a passion for optimizing agricultural systems. As a PhD candidate in Horticulture and Agronomy with Dr. Arnold Bloom at UC Davis, he has come to understand the complexity of food production. Along the way Kasemsap’s higher education journey provided many opportunities to explore food production in diverse regions of the world such as Thailand, the Netherlands, and then California. Now he combines the different fields of genetics, crop physiology, and agricultural management to optimize plants as a food source.
Through his work, Kasemsap hopes to identify the plant mechanisms and genetic bases for maintaining nutritious food supplies in the face of elevating CO2. His findings should help guide on-farm nitrogen management, an element responsible for significant yield improvements during the green revolution, and aid food system sustainability into the future. | agronomy |

Mango (Mangifera indicaL.) is major fruit crop and this fruit has developed its own significance all over the world. This fruit has been under cultivation in Indian sub-continent over 4000 years, and therefore is known as “National Fruit of India” due to its wide adaptability, excellent taste, nutritive value, richness in variety, attractive colour, exotic flavour, appearance and popularity among the rich as well as poor people. In many parts of the country mango serves as staple food for several months during the year because of its fine quality and taste as raw fruit. It is now recognized as one of the best fruits in the world market; hence it is called as the “King of the fruits”. The fruits of mango are utilized in both immature and mature stages. Raw fruits are used for making chutney, pickles and juices. The ripe fruits are also utilized for preparing several products like squashes, syrups, nectars, jams and jellies, etc. Unripe mangoes are sliced, dried and made into powder for amchoor, a traditional Indian preparation used for cooking. Seeds are also eaten during periods of food shortages. The bark is used in tanning leather, while timber is used for making boats, flooring, furniture and other applications. Besides delicious taste, excellent flavour and attractive fragrance, it is rich in vitamin A, B and C. The ripe fruit of mango contains about 15% sugars and up to 1% protein. Raw mango consists of about 81.7% water, 17% carbohydrate, 0.5% protein, 0.3% fat and 0.5% ash. Mangoes are thought to help stop bleeding, to strengthen the heart and to benefit the brain. Fresh mangoes and mango pulp are the important items of agricultural exports. The mango kernel contains 8-10 per cent good quality fat, which can be used for soap and also as a substitute for cola in confectionery.
Mango is produced in about 90 countries. However, the major mango producing countries in the world are India, China, Pakistan, Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, Philippines, Nigeria, and Vietnam. India is the front runner in area (44%) as well as production (38%) of fresh mango in the world. The world productivity of mango is 7.74 t ha-1, while India’s productivity is estimated to be around 6.92 t ha-1. In India, Uttar Pradesh stands at the top considering the area (31.57 M ha) under mango cultivation. The other important mango growing states are Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Kerala. Jharkhand accounts for 2.8% of the total production of Mango in the country. This state produces 0.43 M T of mango from an area of 0.04 M ha with productivity of 11 t ha-1, which is the second highest at par with Karnataka after Uttar Pradesh (Indian Horticulture Database, 2017).
The major biotic constrains that affect the production and quality of mango is mainly due to the incidence of about 400 insect pests (Tandon and Verghese, 1985; Pena and Mohyuddin, 1997). Among the various insect-pests, mango hopper, Amritodus atkinsoni, Idioscopus clypealis, Idioscopus niveoparsus, and Idioscopus notaulusis a serious pest of mango at the time of flowering and fruiting which causes 20 to 100% loss of the inflorescence and yield (Rahman and Kuldeep, 2007; Sohi and Sohi, 1990; Prabhakara et al., 2011). The activity of hopper coincides with initiation of inflorescence and new shoots in mango (Zagade and Chaudhari, 2010). Mango hoppers were found colonized during both vegetative and reproductive phases of the tree. Hoppers remain active throughout the year in cracks and crevices of mango trunk. Large number of nymphs and adults of the hoppers puncture tender shoots, inflorescences and leaves of mango tree and suck the sap. This causes non-setting of flowers and dropping of immature fruits, thereby reduction in the yield (Gunddapa et al., 2014). Hoppers also excrete honey dew which encourages the development of sooty mould on leaf surface which interferes with the normal photosynthetic activity of the plant. Though several natural enemies have been reported on mango hoppers, chemical control remains the widely followed means of hopper management (Babu and Singh, 2014). Several pesticides viz. Imidacloprid, Dimethoate, Dichlorovos, Acephate, Malathion, Emamectin benzoate, Thiamethoxam, Buprofezin, etc. have been tried to control the hoppers, but the extensive and indiscriminate use of these pesticides for hoppers in mango has led to several problems like resurgence of secondary pests, health hazards and pesticide residue on fruits. Hence, there is need to evaluate the organic management of hoppers through the use of bio-pesticides made from the plant extracts or microbial inoculations. | agronomy |

Quick! Imagine a carrot.
What colour is it?
I’m going to guess you all picked the colour orange.
One of the weirdest and most interesting things I’ve learned from a book is that carrots weren’t originally orange. Up until the late seventeenth century, they were nearly always purple. You might see a rare one that was white or yellow, but those colours weren’t encouraged by carrot farms.
How did that change? Some Dutch growers began cross-breeding different types of carrots in the late 1600s. It’s thought that they probably crossed purple carrots with white ones to eventually create the orange carrots we all know.
They also selectively bred this crop to make carrots bigger, juicer, and sweeter than the ones that people ate in previous generations.
I wasn’t able to find the book that mentioned this, but this article has more information for anyone who is interested. | agronomy |

The first is about the effects of lead bullets in causing fatal poisoning in eagles and other scavengers after they eat gut piles or carcasses left in the field. The second is about a relatively new crop called Kernza which is showing promise in helping reduce the sediment that is carried into Lake Pepin by the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers. Kernza has incredibly deep roots so it is effective in holding soil in place. It is also perennial so it reduces tillage and disrupting the soil. It is being used in many flour recipes and a couple of breweries have experimented with new craft beers using Kernza.

With container gardening, you can grow wholesome lettuce with little work and little space—whether you have a patio, balcony, or a sunny windowsill.
Methods for growing lettuce indoors:
Choose the correct type of lettuce
Select a type of lettuce that grows well in containers, like romaine or loose-leaf lettuce, which are ideal for container gardening.
Best container for growing lettuce indoors
To avoid waterlogging, use a container with bottom drainage holes and a minimum depth of 6 to 8 inches.
Get the soil ready
Use a potting mix that drains well and is high in organic materials. You can incorporate aged manure or compost into the soil for nutritional provision.
How to plant seeds or seedlings
If you’re starting from scratch, equally distribute the seeds around the earth’s surface and gently cover them with extra dirt. Place seedlings into the container carefully, allowing space between them as recommended by the variety.
Always ensure that the soil is constantly damp but not soggy. Give the lettuce plenty of water, especially in the summer, but don’t give it too much since this might lead to root rot.
Put the container somewhere that gets at least six hours of sunlight a day. In warmer climes, lettuce prefers some shade to avoid bolting or going to seed, too soon.
Fertilizing for growing lettuce fast
Every two to three weeks, or as recommended by the product label, fertilize your lettuce plants with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Steer clear of overfertilizing as this can result in bitter leaves.
Thin seedlings after a few inches to ensure each plant has sufficient space for growth, promote air circulation, and reduce crowding.
Pest and disease management for growing lettuce
Be vigilant against common pests such as slugs, snails, and aphids. Employ natural pest management techniques like hand-picking or neem oil spraying. Maintain adequate airflow around plants to ward against fungal infections.
When the lettuce leaves are still young and fragile, which is typically 4-6 weeks after planting, harvest it. You can remove individual leaves as needed, or you can chop off the entire head. Maintain the integrity of the outer leaves to promote ongoing growth.
In addition, growing lettuce in containers promotes a healthy diet because people are more likely to eat what they have grown. By using this technique, people may get fresh, organic lettuce delivered straight to their homes without having to have a sizable outdoor garden.
A frequently asked questions:
Q1. What type of container is suitable for growing lettuce?
A1. Lettuce can be grown in containers that are at least 6 inches deep and roughly 12 inches wide.
Q2. What is the ideal temperature for growing lettuce from seed?
A2. The ideal soil temperatures for lettuce seeds to grow are between 40 and 80°F (4 and 27°C). Temperatures between 60 and 70°F (16 and 21°C) are ideal for growth.
Q3. What temperature is ideal for growing lettuce indoors?
A3. The ideal temperature range for lettuce growth is 60–70°F (15–21°C). Make sure the temperature in your indoor space stays within this range for best growth.
Q4. Can growing lettuce from scraps be done indoors?
A4. It is possible to grow lettuce indoors from scraps if you have the right lighting and attention. | agronomy |

Photosynthesis is easy enough to understand: Plants use the power of the sun to combine carbon dioxide and water into sugar. What’s perhaps less easy to understand is what happens to all of the carbon-rich sugar that it produces. New research shows that vast amounts of it are pumped down to fungi deep in the ground, keeping the carbon out of the atmosphere and keeping the climate cool.
Some of the energy-rich sugar is shipped around the plant to power cells, and then is often eaten by herbivorous animals or flutters to the ground with fallen leaves to be gobbled up by microscopic organisms. But some of the sugar is pumped down to the roots and traded with mycorrhizal fungi in exchange for nutrients.
The mycorrhizal fungi take the sugar from the plants, and in return they feed nutrients to the plants. Fungi send stretching tentacles, called mycelia, through the ground to forage for nitrogen, phosphorous and other nutrients that are valued by the plants. They use those nutrients as currency with which they buy sugar.
The sugar that’s passed from the plant to the fungi contains lots of carbon, which the plant originally sucked out of the air as carbon dioxide. Scientists have discovered that most of the carbon that’s stored in some forest floors is sequestered in the bodies of the dirt-dwelling fungi — not, as had been presumed, in the decomposing leaf litter.
Karina Clemmensen, a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Scientists, led research that investigated where carbon was being stored in two forested Swedish islands. The researchers discovered that 50 to 70 percent of stored carbon in the forests was locked up in the root layer, where the mycorrhizal fungi thrive.
The research took place in boreal forests, but Clemmensen said other ecosystems might also push much of their carbon down into the soil.
“In agricultural fields, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are normally the dominant mycorrhizal type,” Clemmensen said in an email. “Our result though – as stands here – is valid for the boreal forest only.” | agronomy |

Biodiversity news – by GreenWise Staff
2nd April 2013
Two pesticide manufacturers have proposed a bee action plan in the hope that it will stave off a European ban on insecticides that scientists have said pose a "high acute risk" to bees and bee health.
and German-based Bayer CropScience
, two leading neonicotinoid
manufacturers, are lobbying the European Commission
to adopt their bee action plan
after the European Parliament
failed to reach a majority vote on a ban of their products earlier this month. The vote followed a European Food Safety Authortity (EFSA) report that named three neonicotinoids – clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam – as harmful to bee populations.
"This comprehensive plan will bring valuable insights into the area of bee health, whereas a ban on neonicotinoids would simply close the door to understanding the problem," said John Atkin, Syngenta’s chief operating officer. "Banning these products would not save a single hive and it is time that everyone focused on addressing the real causes of declining bee populations. The plan is based on our confidence in the safety of our products and on our historical commitment to improving the environment for bees."What the plan proposes
The proposed plan suggests creating more pollen rich flower fields to provide more habitats for bees and research in new technologies that would limit the dust emissions from plants treated with the insecticides. The plan also proposes more research into what it calls the "main" problems affecting bee health, which include bee parasites and viruses.
"Even though all the evidence points to various parasites and diseases being the true cause of poor bee health, we are keen to do everything in our power to give consumers confidence in our products," said Dr. Rüdiger Scheitza, the head of strategy and business management at Bayer CropScience.
Many UK retailers, including B&Q, Homebase, Wickes, the Garden Centre Group and Dobbies and Notcutts, removed the insecticides from their shelves following the EFSA report.
The bee population halved over a 25-year period between 1986 and 2011 as insecticide use grew and habitats disappeared. Bees play an important role for UK farmers as they are responsible for pollinating 75 per cent of all UK crops. If done by hand, this would cost the UK over £1.8 billion resulting in higher food costs for consumers according to the University of Reading.
"The significant lack of agreement between the European Commission and the Member States needs a bold plan so that farmers in Europe can continue to produce the high quality affordable food, in a way that promotes the health of bees and other pollinators. We believe that such a plan as this can be delivered," continued Dr. Scheitza.
Green group reaction
While the insecticide companies are confident that their plan will work to save bee populations and keep their insecticides in use, green groups like Friends of the Earth (FoE) believe that unless neonictinoids are banned bee populations will not be able to recover.
"Even argi-chemical firms agree bees are in severe danger, but their vested interests in keeping pesticides on the market are clouding their vision," said Paul de Zylva, the senior nature campaigner at FoE. "Any bee action plan will fail unless it addresses all causes of bee decline and backs the EC's proposed ban on neonicotinoids."
Friends of the Earth has its own bee action plan that calls for decreased use of pesticides, protection for all 267 UK bee species, and ensuring that there are enough bee habitats to support bee populations.

Each October as the long summer slowly fades into fall, we wait for the magical words from our winemaker. After months of caring for and observing the vineyards, the words come, “it’s time to harvest.” The valley comes alive with the thrill of this years Cabernet fruit. The red varietal fruit, like Cabernet, take longer to reach its full maturation, sometimes going all the way into November before being picked.
Late-harvest means that the fruit has been given a longer period of time on the vine, allowing for the grapes to ripen and produce higher concentrated sugars. Last year, horrific fires came into our valley and surrounding areas but luckily, harvest had been recently completed and many vines escaped its wrath.
Given that the Napa Valley Cab harvest begins later than our other varietals, it just means we here at Red Stitch get to watch the best of baseball with a glass of wine before we get back to work. Here's to the best of seasons. Go Dave!! | agronomy |

Computer vision has not become an exception and finds new applications in the processes of automation and optimization of agriculture.
Analysis of animal behavior helps to quickly identify animals with signs of illness or injury, monitor water and food consumption, as well as the adequacy of housing conditions for individual individuals. The possibilities of computer vision for identification and tracking of animals can increase the profitability of smart farms already now.
Technologies of multispectral analysis allow you to monitor the process of plant development and the need for additional fertilizers or watering. Obtaining multispectral images has now become as simple as possible, because it is now possible to obtain them not only from satellites, but also from drones, which are increasingly used in agriculture. Deep learning allows you to automatically process images from drones and satellites and issue accurate recommendations for applying fertilizers and their composition, simplifying and speeding up the work of specialists.
Pests can cause significant damage to crops of absolutely all types of crops. Their timely removal is the key to a successful fight against them and, as a result, to the preservation of the harvest. Computer vision allows not only to detect the pest, but also to classify it for a clear understanding of how exactly it is necessary to deal with it.
Fruits and vegetables sorting
Sorting vegetables and fruits is one of the last stages before selling products. Sorting them by size, color and, most importantly, the absence of damage is an important factor for the user experience. | agronomy |
