What are Microgreens?
Microgreens are the tender immature seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs. They have two developed embryonic leaves called cotyledon leaves. When the cotyledon leaves have fully developed, and the first true leaves have emerged, usually between 7 to 14 days, these immature seedlings become microgreens and are harvested. They measure between 1 to 3 inches in height, pea shoots usually grow to be 8 inches tall. Microgreens are small, but come in a variety of strong flavors, bright colors, and crunchy tastes, and are packed with nutrients.
There are hundreds of options for microgreens. Almost any vegetable or herb you can eat can be enjoyed as a microgreen. Our farm grows Sunflower, Broccoli, Radish, Zesty or Mild mixes, and Sweet Pea.
Microgreens are packed with nutrients
In a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, it was discovered that microgreens contained between 4 to 40 times more nutrients by weight than their fully grown counterparts. In addition, broccoli, kale, and red cabbage Microgreens, shows remarkably high concentrations of sulforaphane, scientifically shown to have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory effects. | agronomy |

Impact of Biofuel Industry Expansion on Grain Utilization and Distribution: Preliminary Results of Iowa Grain and Biofuel Survey
This paper examines the impact of biofuel expansion on grain utilization and distribution at the state and cropping district level as most of grain producers and handlers are directly influenced by the local changes. We conducted a survey to understand the utilization and flows of corn, ethanol and its co-products, such as dried distillers grains (DDG) in Iowa. Results suggest that the rapidly expanding ethanol industry has a significant impact on corn utilization in Iowa.
Agricultural markets often feature significant transport costs and spatially distributed production and processing which causes spatial imperfect competition. Spatial economics considers the firms’ decisions regarding location and spatial price strategy separately, usually on the demand side, and under restrictive assumptions. Therefore, alternative approaches are needed to explain, e.g., the location of new ethanol plants in the U.S. at peripheral as well as at central locations and the observation of different spatial price strategies in the market.
Optimal Biorefinery Locations and Transportation Network for the Future Biofuels Industry in Illinois
This article addresses development of the Illinois ethanol industry through the period 2007-2022, responding to the ethanol production mandates of the Renewable Fuel Standard by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The planning for corn-based and cellulosic ethanol production requires integrated decisions on transportation, plant location, and capacity.
Choice of optimum feedstock portfolio for a cellulosic ethanol plant – A dynamic linear programming solution
When the lignocellulosic biofuels industry reaches maturity and many types of biomass sources become economically viable, management of multiple feedstock supplies – that vary in their yields, density (tons per unit area), harvest window, storage and seasonal costs, storage losses, transport distance to the production plant – will become increasingly important for the success of individual enterprises. The manager’s feedstock procurement problem is modeled as a multi-period sequence problem to account for dynamic management over time.
Supply chain management involves all of the activities in industrial organizations from raw material procurement to final product delivery to customers. The main aim in supply chain management is to satisfy production requirements, while optimizing the economic objectives. In traditional fossil fuel supply chains, huge amounts of fossil fuels are transported via pipelines or tankers with very small costs. These fuels can be transformed into other sources of energy or transportation fuels at their destination points.
A Geographic Information System-based modeling system for evaluating the cost of delivered energy crop feedstock
The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for understanding the geographic context of bioenergy supplies is discussed and a regional-scale, GIS-based modeling system for estimating potential biomass supplies from energy crops is described. While GIS models can capture geographic variation that may in?uence biomass costs and supplies, GIS models are not likely to handle uncertainty well and are often limited by the lack of spatially explicit data.
The Targets IMage Energy Regional simulation model, TIMER, is described in detail. This model was developed and used in close connection with the Integrated Model to Assess the Global Environment (IMAGE) 2.2. The system-dynamics TIMER model simulates the global energy system at an intermediate level of aggregation. The model can be used on a stand-alone basis or integrated within the framework of the integrated assessment model IMAGE 2.2. The model simulates the world on the basis of 17 regions.
The Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model is the part of the MIT Integrated Global Systems Model (IGSM) that represents the human systems. EPPA is a recursive-dynamic multi-regional general equilibrium model of the world economy, which is built on the GTAP dataset and additional data for the greenhouse gas and urban gas emissions. It is designed to develop projections of economic growth and anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse related gases and aerosols. The main purpose of this report is to provide documentation of a new version of EPPA, EPPA version 4. | agronomy |

The $540 million Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Compact, signed by the Governments of the United States and Senegal, aimed to reduce poverty and increase economic growth by unlocking the country’s agricultural productivity and expanding access to markets and services. The Government of Senegal implemented the five-year MCC Compact via the Millennium Challenge Account-Senegal, and was completed on September 23, 2015.
The Senegal Compact
The two primary Compact projects, Roads Rehabilitation and Irrigation and Water Resource Management, made strategic investments in the road network and essential irrigation schemes focused in the Senegal River Valley and the Casamance region. The Compact priorities were identified to align to the country’s comprehensive long-term objectives of enhancing national growth and food security.
Roads Rehabilitation Project
The Roads Rehabilitation project invested in two of Senegal’s critical transport corridors that connect major population centers and agricultural production areas: National Road #2 (RN2) and National Road #6 (RN6).
The RN2 is the northernmost road of Senegal and a strategic connector corridor from Dakar Harbor to Mauritania and Mali and to the other larger cities in Senegal. The RN2 road investment funded the rehabilitation and widening of 121 kilometers of road from Richard Toll to Ndioum that borders the irrigation areas along the Senegal River Valley, and constructed the Ndioum Bridge, which traverses an estuary of the Senegal River and links the fertile land on the Island of Morphile with the RN2 and the national road network.
The southern road improvements in the Casamance region focused on upgrading and widening 252 kilometers of the RN6 from Ziguinchor to Kounkané and rehabilitating the Kolda Bridge. The RN6 is the single primary road available for transportation of local agricultural products from Casamance to the rest of Senegal without having to travel via The Gambia and serves as an essential connector with Guinea Bissau, Guinea (Conakry), and Mali. At compact completion, 64 kilometers of the RN6 and the Kolda Bridge had been rehabilitated and the Government of Senegal has committed to completing the remaining segments, expected in 2016.
The Roads Rehabilitation Project adhered to standards of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). MCC standards also require specific environmental and social measures during the implementation of road works. Specifically, the roads project included: developing plans for community reforestation, supporting the recovery of wood from past community deforestation activities, implementing an HIV/AIDS awareness program, resettling or compensating families affected by the rehabilitation works, implementing a community-level environmental awareness program, constructing or relocating weekly markets, and constructing safety walls at schools located within 50 meters of the road.
The MCC investments in Senegal’s road network are anticipated to provide reliable, cost-effective, safe, and time-saving means of transporting local agricultural products to domestic and international markets year-round. In addition to increasing access to markets, the rehabilitated roads expect to increase access to vital community services, such as schools and hospitals.
Irrigation and Water Resource Management Project
The Irrigation and Water Resources Management aimed to improve agricultural productivity in the Senegal River Valley, Senegal’s rice production heartland, by improving the performance of the irrigation systems and securing land tenure rights in the Delta Zone and the Department of Podor (Ngalenka). The Delta investments upgraded and rehabilitated the main canal and drainage systems across 35,480 hectares in order to increase the volume of irrigable water, expand cropping intensity, and secure use of land currently at risk of abandonment due to soil salinization and insufficient flows. The Ngalenka activity aimed to increase agricultural production through the construction of a 450-hectare irrigated perimeter. MCC’s rehabilitation or construction of over 245 kilometers of canals is expected to allow farmers to expand their rice, tomato, onion and other market vegetable cultivation in the Senegal River Valley.
The accompanying land tenure activity focused on strengthening local governments’ capacity to formalize and manage land rights in the project zones, and ensuring that land allocation in these zones harmonized existing land rights and increased access to land for groups who have traditionally had limited access to land, such as women and youth. Over 10,000 plots of land, covering 15,000 hectares were incorporated into the municipal land management system.
MCC is strategically reinforcing the economic potential of Senegal through the MCC Compact investments. These investments are expected to increase household incomes for over 1.55 million Senegalese across approximately 138,000 households improving the quality of life for their families and future generations. | agronomy |

As was the case among the native tribes, the tobacco plant was soon used in a broad range of applications from patent medicines that claimed miraculous cures for virtually any ailment to the more familiar methods of ingestion including chewing, inhalation as snuff and in smoking. Both in Europe and America the methods of
taking tobacco that were reserved for society’s aristocrats quickly became often a source of ridicule. Even then, many thought tobacco, like the potato, to be the work of the devil.
However used, the earlier tobaccos all sprang from American stock. Initially, there was one variety that was grown by the North American Indians that was the first to be transported to England and Portugal and another that was grown by those from Mexico to South America that was taken to Spain and France. Later, John Rolfe used the second variety from the seed juul pods dubai obtained from the larger leaved “Spanish” variety to serve as the foundation for Virginia tobacco growing.
Since that time the spread of tobacco’s influence and ease of propagation drove the development of many varieties around the world, each suited to unique climates and the local preferences for curing, processing and ingestion. As tobacco crossed the Atlantic from the Americas and was popularized in Spain, England and France, its spread reached to Germany, Russia and then the Baltic countries as each region and nationality introduced their own preferences as well as requirements for cultivation such as those driven by the climate, the local soil characteristics and terrain.
Today, most tobaccos may be categorized as either Virginia, Burley, or Turkish, but all have roots tracing back to the original Nicoteana Tabacam of Mexico and South America. In fact, the world’s most popular tobacco which is generally known as Virginia Bright Leaf was the result of an accident in curing during 1839 White Burley of today didn’t arrive on the scene until 1864.
While tobacco was introduced into Turkey and Poland around 1585, its use was sufficient to result in torture and execution throughout Russia, Turkey, Persia, India and the east. Though cigarettes were making themselves known in Europe by 1915, it was not until the Crimean War in 1856 that Turkish, English, French and Italian soldiers took the popular Turkish tobacco cigarettes home with them.
In truth, the name “Turkish” tobacco is something of a misnomer as many of the seed stocks of Turkish Tobacco actually originated in towns in Greece. However, the name was popularized as referring to those countries that were within the Ottoman Turkish empire, many of which were long a part of the Soviet Union. Today, much of the region is referred to as Balkan.
By any name, Turkish tobaccos have long been regarded as among the world’s finest, adding a richness, spice, and smoothness that, when properly blended, transports a great Virginia into a blend in the realm of the sublime. Sadly, the great Turkish/Balkan tobaccos had virtually disappeared in the western world, leaving mediocre, lesser grades and varieties that for decades left smokers associating Turkish blends with tobaccos that were hot, heavy, harsh, pungent and loaded with nicotine, all attributes of an inferior product. | agronomy |

Nothing man made can compare to it for size and accuracy. This information allows the seeds to know precisely, down to the millisecond, when it needs to come to life and grow, what juices to take from the earth and how to use the emanation from the sun, the moon and the starts. It knows what to grow into and what fruits to bear.
Fruits are intended to give man sustenance. These fruits can effectively fight and resist any illness of the human organism more powerfully than any man made medicines that exist today or will in the future. But to do this, the seed has to know about the persons condition. In order for it to be saturated during the ripening process, the fruit needs the correlation of substances for healing a specific person and his illness, if he has one or a predisposition toward one.
In order for the seed of a cucumber , tomato or any other plant grown in a garden to have information about a persons health, the following is essential.
Before planting, put the seed or seeds into your mouth and hold them under your tongue for at least nine minutes.
Next, put the seeds between your palms and hold them like that for about 30 seconds.
While holding the seeds between your palms, you must be standing barefooted on the ground where you are going to plant the seeds.
Then open the palms, take the seed close to your mouth and breathe on it the air from your lungs. Warm the seed with your breath and it will learn what’s inside you. Keep the palm open for another 30 seconds for the seed to see the heaven’s bodies and it will determine when to sprout.
After that you may put the seed into the soil, but do not water it for three days, so that your saliva remains on the seed or you will wash your saliva and information off the whole seed, and the seed needs to take that in. Three days after planting you may water.
The planting must be done on each vegetables favorable days. Planting early without watering is not as terrible as planting late.
You shouldn’t remove all the weeds next to the shoot coming from your seed. You have at least one of each kind. The weeds can be cut down.
The seed takes information about the person, and while its fruit is growing, it will take from the cosmos and earth the maximum energy essential for this specific person.
You shouldn’t remove all weeds because they have their own purpose. Some protect the plants from disease, others provide additional information. During its growth, you must communicate with the plant. At least once during its growing period, preferably on the full moon, go up to it and touch it.
Anastastia said that fruits grown from a seed in this way and used by a person who grew them are capable of curing him of absolutely any disease of the flesh, significantly slowing the organism’s aging, riding him of harmful habits, increasing his intellectual abilities multifold, and giving him emotional peace. The fruits will be most effective if they are used no more than three days after harvest.
The above actions must be done with various types of crops planted in the garden.
You do not have to sowe the entire plot of cucumbers, tomatoes, and so on in this way. A few plants are sufficient.
Fruits raised by the methos indicated will not only taste different from others. If they are subjected to analysis, the correlation of substances they contain will differ as well.
When planting seedlings in scooped out indentation, you absolutely must work the earth with your own hands and bare toes and spit in the indentation. Why the feet? Anastsia explained that substances (toxibs probably) containing information about the organisms illness are sweated out through the feet. The seedlings take in this information and convey it to the fruits, which will be capable of fighting ailments. Anastasia advised walking through the garden barefoot from time to time.
The main doctor is your organism. From the very beginning, it was given the knowledge of which herb you should use and when, as well as how in general to feed yourself and breathe. It can aver illness even before its outward manifestation. And no one else can replace your organism, for this is the doctor God personally gave you and only you. I’m telling you how to give it the chance to act for the good.
When you have established relationships with the plants in your garden they will heal and take care of you. They will independently give an exact diagnosis and manufacture the special medicine that is most effective for you specifically.

It will need some rest but I thought you would like to read the following about this rare blend. Thank you, Eric.
From Cigar Aficionado:
“General Cigar Co. has gone into its archival seed banks and regenerated an heirloom tobacco varietal for its upcoming release: Macanudo Mao. According to the company, Macanudo Mao contains filler tobacco derived from the same seed type used for original Macanudos when they were sold in the 1960s.
“Macanudo Mao is the result of General’s extensive seed regeneration program. For this project, the company planted many different seed varietals in both the Connecticut River Valley and in the Mao region of the Dominican Republic. By planting in different regions simultaneously, General was better able to ascertain the qualities of the different tobacco types, its adaptability to climate and its disease resistance.”
“We started the experiment with 21 seed [types],” said Ernest Gocaj, General’s director of tobacco procurement. “It’s important to note that while we were able to recondition the seeds over four years, we had started this experiment years earlier and were unfortunately not successful. At this moment, we have two successful seed types that bear the desired characteristics of the original seeds. Normally, reconditioning seeds takes eight years.”
“Here’s the approach General took: First, the company found the heirloom Dominican seed from the 1960s, which it dubbed seed M. Then, it crossed the M seed with another seed called D3, which is a strain that resists black shank disease. After that, General continued to backcross the resulting seeds in order to create a seed type that inherited the disease resistance of D3 yet still retained the desired flavor and aroma characteristics of the original M seed.”
“Backcrossing preserves the most desirable attributes while crossing gives the original seed new characteristics such as disease resistance,” Gocaj explained. “Through crossing and backcrossing, we achieved the original characteristics of the M seed with the added resistance to black shank from the D3 seed. We named our new, improved seed M02.”
“Once the M02 seed was established, Gocaj said that General planted nearly three acres in Mao, which was just enough to supply a limited edition run of cigars.
“Macanudo Mao cigars are draped in a Cuban-seed wrapper grown in Connecticut while the binder is from Mexico. In addition to the Dominican M02 tobacco, the filler is fortified with leaves from Nicaragua and Colombia.
“It will come in three sizes, but only 1,800 boxes per size are scheduled for production, or a total of 5,400, 10-count boxes. No. 10 measures 5 inches by 50 ring and has a suggested retail price of $16; No. 11, 7 by 50 at $17; and No. 12, 6 by 57 at $18. Each cigar comes individually coffined.
“Macanudo Mao will be introduced at the IPCPR trade show in July, but will not ship until the last quarter of this year.
“This article first appeared in the June 21, 2016 issue of Cigar Insider.”

Sorting through some agriculture trade data today for work and stumbled across one of the many perversities of the globalized food chain.
The United States is a major exporter of bull semen, enjoying a healthy trade surplus of some $30.4 billion ($46.1 X -$15.7 M). Bull semen, of course (I'm hoping), is used to produce more baby cows in order to expand capacity for producing things like meat, hides, and--you guessed it--more bull semen.
While American farmers may be comparatively advantaged at artificially stimulating bull cows, farmers in other countries are comparatively advantaged at raising cows. In 2002, the United States ran a substantial trade deficit in cattle. After buying our bull semen and producing more cows, foreign countries sold us over 2.5 million head of cattle while we exported a mere 243,394 head (for an overall deficit of 2.26 million head of cattle).
This is somewhat puzzling given that the US is also the world's largest producer of most cattle feed (primarily corn and soybeans). In other words, the US is producing all the inputs of cattle, but outsourcing the rearing of cattle.
Meanwhile, once the cattle get back here, we are quite skilled at turning them into the end product: meat. (See the post below). In 2002, the United States ran a $143.5 billion surplus in beef and veal. | agronomy |

This is a time of year, in the northern hemisphere, when a lot of people are seeing the fruits of their labors... literally. Starting near the beginning of the year, people gave the gifts of tilling and loosening to the soil, the gifts of warm cozy homes rich in nutrients to tiny seeds, and the gift of continued safety and care as those plants grew. The sun gave the gift of warmth and energy, rain gave moist plumpness and flexibility, and the soil gave it's nutrients, all to foster the growth of the fruits and vegetables in gardens and fields everywhere. And now, toward the end of the year, the plants are offering gifts in return. Pumpkins and beans and apples and wheat and thousands of other life-supporting foods are gifted to us. This perpetual cycle of gifting happens all around us, in every aspect of life, when we allow it to.
Within this perpetual cycle of gifts, all beings are provided for and all live in abundance. When we forget that we have gifts to give, when we choose not to share them, and when we forget to graciously accept the gifts of others - that's when this cycle of common wealth is thrown off kilter and breaks down; we create extremes of need and overabundance and and no one is truly happy. Remember your gifts. Give of them freely. When it's naturally time, joyously receive the gifts you are offered by others and the world. This is the cycle that, when allowed to run it's natural course, allows all things to live in a state of plenty. All beings are interdependent and only when we live in a way that honors that do we truly live in balance. | agronomy |

PalmAcou detects the infestation in its earliest stages, saving your palm trunk & avoiding damage to your palm tissues.
Effects of the Weevil
Posing severe threat to date palm cultivation
$8 million is lost each year through removal of severely-infested trees alone
Penetrates the palm trunks creating cavities and tunnels that weaken the tree structure
The combined cost of pest management, eradication and replacement of infested palms, and loss of benefits was around €100 million by 2013.
Based on IoT technology, a network of nodes will be connected to a palm tree which in turn will linked to a master node. The master node is used to transfer the data to a cloud server. Further deep learning techniques is integrated on a cloud server for accurate detection. As well as a web application that enables the farmer to manage and control the system to identify the infected palm tree in real time.
For early detection we propose an acoustic device to record the sound from the field and compare it with a previously recorded larvae sound under lab conditions to determine if there is an infestation.
This comparison is made by comparing signal features of the two audio signals.
The Feeding sound is the most frequently occurring sound in an infected tree.
Why are we different?
The methods that are currently implemented to detect the infestation are:
Advantages of to using the acoustic method:
Utilizing Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence
- Installed separately in palm trees.
- No need to connect it to a PC.
More practical and easier to use than traditional methods. | agronomy |

This program was kicked off in 2020 with our support of 2 community gardens at the YMCA and Big Brothers, Big Sisters. With the high rate of food insecurity on Maui, we decided to name the program to encompass more… to stick with our mission to cultivate a healthy community by strengthening local agriculture and improving access to nutritious, affordable food.
Community Food Systems Focus Areas
We grow and distribute plants to people who want to learn to grow their own food. We share information on care, growing, use and storage of many types of plants that grow well in our tropical climates.
We stick with what we do best! Build gardens and educate people (families and keiki) on growing food! We hope to integrate some kitchen programs to demonstrate how to prepare food that grows in our gardens.

Florida Native Plants!
We are going Native! We are reintroducing a selection of native Florida plants, as we try to find unique and unusual plants you won’t find anywhere else! We invite you to meander through the garden center where you can find inspiration, butterflies, maybe a jewel you’ve been looking for tucked in a display…
- Native and drought tolerant plants

- Annuals and perennials
- Cacti and succulents
- Herbs and vegetables (locally grown!)
- Seeds and bulbs (seasonal)
- Butterfly and hummingbird plants
- House and patio plants
- Cold hardy trees, palms, and shrubs
People eat food. Plants make food. To do this, plants need light, air, water, and FERTILIZER. Some plants get everything they need from the earth, but most need supplements. Even one deficient nutrient can appear as a symptom on the plant.
We carry a complete line of fertilizers and supplements. Whether you use organic fertilizers, liquid or water-soluble or slow release granules, ACE has what you need!
We can also help you set up a fertilization schedule depending on your needs. If you want a low maintenance lawn or garden, we can keep it healthy with slow release fertilizers a couple times a year. If you want “yard of the month”, we can show you the best way to keep it blooming!
Isn’t it great to live in an area with an extensive growing season? Unfortunately, many pests enjoy our climate as well. When we think about plant pests we usually think bugs! Did you know that most insects are beneficial to plants and people? In fact, only a handful of the millions of insects are PESTS. That handful can still be a problem.
Sometimes the problem isn’t bugs. Bacteria and fungi also thrive in our wonderful weather. Again, most are beneficial, but a few can cause disease. Good cultural practices are the best defense, but there are suppressive and curative controls.
Even fertilizer deficiencies can cause plant “disease”. At ACE, we can help you diagnose the plant, identify the problem and get you the best treatment for your plants.
Simply bring in a sample in a sealed sandwich bag. If you see any insects, try to catch them too!
Visit our Garden Center and ask for Cindy! Or you can email Cindy at email@example.com.
Soils and Mulch
From potting plants to mulching and landscaping, Ace has any soil or mulch you’re looking for! Now we carry exclusively to our area, Landscaping Seashells in both large and small size shells for your special projects! Of course we have Red mulch, Black mulch or Cypress that we carry year around.
Special potting mixes, manure (chicken or cow) or just plain top soil, Ace has your answer! Stop in and ask any of our staff experts for free advice! | agronomy |

he Horticulture Innovation Centre for Robotics and Intelligent Systems (Hicris) was officially opened at the University of Sydney on 6 October.
The first dedicated horticultural robotics centre in Australia is positioned within Sydney University’s Australia Centre for Field Robotics, and will initially have six research fellows, five PhD students and six technical staff working on projects in robotics and technology to improve on-farm efficiency.
“[Hicris] will attract Australia’s brightest minds in engineering and science. It will also act as a training facility for Australian growers and the future generations of students who are passionate about creating innovative solutions to make farming more efficient,” said Salah Sukkarieh, director of research and innovation at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics.
“Never before have we seen this level of innovation in the horticulture industry. Through working with the University of Sydney, we have been able to develop technology that can detect foreign matter, robots with that can map tree-crop architecture, and ground-breaking autonomous weed identification and eradication capabilities,” said John Lloyd, CEO of grower-owned body Horticulture Innovation Australia.
“Through the Horticulture Innovation Centre for Robotics and Intelligent Systems, this research will be further expanded to investigate capabilities such as automated crop forecasting to predict the best time to harvest, and ground penetrating radar sensors to measure things like soil water content.
“This centre will give current and emerging generations of growers and agri-scientists the resources they need to develop their ideas for the benefit of the industry, and all Australians.”
Hicris is funded by Horticulture Innovation Australia, using the vegetable levy and Australian government funding.

A surprise hit, the cookie was our sweet potato dough with honey roasted spiced peanuts, an homage to George Washington Carver's innovation with both crops.
Honestly, the peanuts were so good that we had to make extra every single time (to account for the number we were "sampling" from the drying rack). They're sweet and spicy with a kick. Worthy of snacking or sharing. So, we're bringing them back. So that we, we mean you, can snack on them.
Oh! You will probably be excited to know that, though it is exceedingly hard to buy small quantities of raw peanuts from an exclusively Black owned farm, you can buy peanuts (AND PECANS) from an amazing EIGHTY year old multiracial Christian farming community in Georgia. Koinonia Farm has been doing the work of racial healing and sustainable farming since long before either concept was popular or celebrated. When we reached out to Black owned farms about purchasing for our small operation, they referred us to this community. We couldn't be more grateful.

It’ll be one month of intense, thrilling matches between the world’s best footballing nations for arguably the biggest prize in the beautiful game.
Not only are the players preparing well by trying to reach an optimum performance standard on the pitch, but they also ideally want to look good while performing as well.
That is why some teams are still slowly introducing their specialized kits for the upcoming World Cup that can help attract all kinds of supporters.
An early contender for the best kit of the World Cup has come up from one of the relative ‘minnows’ of the competition. Tunisia and Kappa have released their new third kit that pays an inspiring tribute to the historical culture of the country.
The Eagles of Carthage finished in the 24th position in the 2018 FIFA World Cup after a disappointing showing. They’re hoping for better results this time but have already won the hearts of many fans by unveiling their gorgeous new kit.
It’s an olive dark green coloured shirt that pays tribute to the country’s rich history when it comes to olive trees and the cultivation of the fruit (yes it’s not a vegetable).
The kit doesn’t really have that much of an over-the-top design, as they’ve kept it simple with a single colour along with a golden touch in the colour of their crest and sponsor’s sign.
There are also some drawings that are inscribed into the shirt as well, which seem to pay tribute to the cultures of the country. When it comes to olives, Tunisia has a historical significance – as the country is also known as the Land of the Olive Tree.
It’s estimated that there are about 1.8 million hectares of olive groves across the country, with 82 million trees planted which grow the elusive fruit. This apparently covers 30% of the country’s cultivated land, only proving how dedicated they are to growing and cultivating olives.
Not just that, but Tunisia is also the world’s third-biggest producer of olive oil – only behind Spain and Italy.
It’s a major source of revenue for the country and olive itself has a huge sense of significance for the residing people as well – which is why the national team has probably made the smart decision to come up with this unique kit.
The Eagles of Carthage head into the World Cup in some decent form. They got to the quarter-finals of the African Cup of Nations earlier this year and have won 4 out of their last 5 competitive matches.
They’ve been placed in a tricky group that contains Denmark, Colombia as well as Australia.
While not impossible, it’ll take something pretty significant for them to make it to the knockout stages. For them, finishing higher than the 24th place can itself be an upgrade from the last edition.
Irrespective of whatever happens, Tunisia will definitely look really good wearing this gorgeous jersey. It’s also won over the hearts of many fans already and should be a sure shit when it comes to sales. | agronomy |

The apps are designed to help commercial farmers and small-time gardeners calculate their plant’s precise water demand to save money and water resources.
There are currently apps available for citrus, strawberries, cotton, avocado, vegetables and urban lawn. Check them out here: http://smartirrigationapps.org/

Horticulture Department Chair Dr. Kevin Folta and students Chris Barbey and Alejandra Abril Guevara spoke about genetic engineering at a bipartisan roundtable in the House Science Committee this past June. This discussion was led by Congressional Representative Frank Lucas of Oklahoma. Citing the disparatity between scientific consensus and pubic opinion, Rep. Lucas wanted our department to address some of the unscientific misconceptions surrounding GM crops.

…and sending them over to my friends at Payung for their nasi kerabu.
I read somewhere that the flowers must be plucked or once they wither, they will produce seeds and the leaves will not grow luxuriantly anymore. No wonder I saw dried leafless vines with lots of seeds dangling from them. I am supposed to take the seeds, remove the “dead” vines and plant afresh. Well, the good news is ever since I started plucking the flowers and the seeds and removing those unwanted vines, new leaves have appeared and it is starting to look good again…and yes, I do pluck the pods and take out the seeds so if anyone would like to plant their own, they can always get them from me too…anytime.
One thing about the flowers, they seem to come back with a vengeance. I pluck all of them one day, more will bloom the very next day, even more than the day before. Of course, those people at Payung will not need so much so if anyone would like them to use for the natural colour in their nasi kerabu or nyonya kuihs…or their drinks or whatever, they can drop by my place to get them, free of charge.
The wife of an ex-student of mine saw my Facebook posts on the leaves and asked for some so I told her to come over to my house and I gave her the ones I plucked that day plus the seeds. The following evening, she PM-ed to tell me that she was on the way to my house and she gave me these…
the rice tinted with the natural colouring from the flowers (her second attempt at making the kuih, she said) and she also gave me these chicken quiches…
…that she made. Thank you so much, Fong & Henry.
In the meantime, my Brazilian spinach…
…is growing very well too, so well that I’ve been harvesting it ever so often and giving bags and bags of it to my neighbour (they shrink badly in the process of cooking) – she says her grandchildren love it! If I am not wrong, they use it at Payung for their herbs salad so perhaps one of these days, I can give them some too. For one thing, I do not use pesticides, 100% organic, so some of the leaves would be quite badly eaten by whatever and would have holes all over. I would just cut and throw those away even though my missus said that I should not do that. Since the pests will eat it, she said, it should be good for us too – what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. LOL!!!
I planted some sweet potato leaves sometime ago and they grew rampantly and went completely out of control. We ate and ate till we got quite tired of it so I got rid of all of it. After all this while, I felt like eating it again and that day, I bought a bundle from my neighbourhood shop. We ate the leaves and I planted the stalks/stems. They seem to be growing pretty well…
Hopefully, we can harvest and eat our own-grown sweet potato leaves soon.
I saw that FINALLY my cangkok manis…
…is thriving not too badly so I decided to harvest the leaves to cook and eat. At the same time, I selected the bigger, sturdier stems/stalks and pushed them into the ground in the hope that they will sprout leaves so we shall have even more to enjoy the next time around.
I thought there was not enough for a dish so I went to buy some baby corn and sweet potatoes to cook sayur masak lemak (vegetables cooked with santan/coconut milk). It turned out that there was enough to cook on its own so we just fried it with egg…
…but we did throw in a packet of the baby corn.
Not too bad, don’t you think? At least I am getting something back from all those things growing in my garden after all my effort day in and day out.
7 thoughts on “Growing in my garden…”
Good to plant ones’ own vegetables. I do plant cangkuk manis and sweet potatoes leaves in my mini garden too. So very easy to plant. Your sweet potatoes leaves looks different from mine. Guess there are different species. The leaves of mine looks like heart shape. Last time I do plant moringa tree but have to chop off due to extension of my kitchen.
Yes, I thought the sweet potato leaves look different. Much finer, softer than what I was used to and I thought those were too old. My neighbour at the back had a moringa tree but he got rid of it, dunno why. Now planting guava, lots and lots of fruit. Their calamansi lime too – I would love to plant that!
Everything grows well in your garden. My man been asking me to plant cangkuk manis. Need to find old stems first.
Save the ones from the bundle you buy, the bigger ones. There are organic ones these days – the stems are thin and they do not grow well, will just wither away.
I’ve got two of the three pictures above in my garden too, except for cangkok manis
You can bring some home, if ever you come over – the stems and stick in the ground. As easy to grow as the Brazilian spinach!
Nice you have a green thumb too! nothing beats a garden fresh vegetables
I wish I could do better. I have a big compound. At a time like this, it would be good to plant one’s own, no need to go out.
Gosh you certainly have quite the crop!
The fruits of my labour. I’ve a HUGE compound, so much space but I’m too old now, not that much energy to do a lot. | agronomy |

Food, family, and community are motivating forces for Trisha Pérez Kennealy, the founder and owner of The Inn at Hastings Park in Lexington, Massachusetts, and chair of the Friedman School’s Board of Advisors.
A commitment to sustainable small-scale agriculture has long been a guiding principle of the inn’s restaurant, which features fresh vegetables, fruits, and meats from nearby farms on its menu.
Those same values also inspired a recent gift Pérez Kennealy made with her husband, Mike, to create the Trisha Pérez Kennealy and Mike Kennealy Directorship at the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project. A program of the Friedman School, New Entry helps small-scale beginning farmers establish and grow their businesses.
The Kennealys’ generous funding will support leaders such as Jennifer Hashley, AG05, the current director of New Entry, to ensure that they have the time and resources to build creative and sustainable programming to increase the project’s local and national impact.
“The beauty of New Entry,” said Pérez Kennealy, “is that it’s not just conceptual. This is a working farm, training a new generation of farmers—including many recent immigrants—right here in our region.”
New Entry also embraces goals that matter deeply to Pérez Kennealy and her family: expanding access to nutritious food, supporting local agriculture, “and helping all of us grow a deeper appreciation for the food on our tables and the farmers who put it there,” she said.
Pérez Kennealy, who spent her early childhood in Puerto Rico before moving to Lexington, left a successful career as an investment banker to train at Le Cordon Bleu culinary school in London. As a chef and mother of three, she is committed to helping local farmers thrive. “I support New Entry because it helps people develop the agricultural skills that are so needed in our community,” she said.
New Entry, based in Beverly, Massachusetts, strengthens regional food systems by training a new generation of farmers to produce food that is nutritious, culturally connected, and accessible. The program started in 1988 to help immigrants and refugees find farming opportunities on three farms in Dracut, Massachusetts.
In 2005, the program grew to include World PEAS (People Enhancing Agricultural Sustainability) Food Hub, a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program that provides a reliable market for New Entry farmers as well as offers fresh food to underserved communities. In 2007, its mission expanded to meet a rapidly growing interest in small-scale food production among beginning farmers of all backgrounds.
New Entry programs have continued to evolve and now serve local, statewide, and national audiences through training and technical assistance in both vegetable and livestock farming. | agronomy |

There is a bit of chill in the air in the evenings throughout some of the valleys of Pennsylvania that whispers gently in our ears, “the first frost is coming sooner or later…”
Backyard garden tomato plants so loving tended and nurtured throughout the scorching summer heat struggle valiantly to give us what they can before they meet their demise in the not-to-distant future.
I always feel a pang of sorrow realizing the garden will soon be no more for another long, dreary stretch until next spring; the frugal Dutchie in me hates to see anything go to waste. I got that trait from my Nana (grandmother).
My grandmother used to pick the green tomatoes remaining on the vines at the end of every growing season from the wilted, past-their-prime tomato plants my Pop planted every year. She would gather them in the pockets of her rick-rack-trimmed cotton and bring them in to see if she could use up these precious gems rather than see the fruits fall hopelessly into the soil only to become compost for next year’s crop.
Some green tomatoes were sliced, dredged in seasoned flour and fried. Some were wrapped in newspaper and set on the back corner of the counter in hopes they would ripen and we would be able to enjoy Nana’s fried red tomatoes one more time (and we often did!). And some green tomatoes found themselves in this Sweet Green Tomato Pie
Tossed with spices and tucked between two layers of pie crust, the green tomatoes take on characteristics reminiscent of Granny Smith apples or rhubarb. Some people consider this among the many “mock apple pies” (like this Mock Apple Pie). You might find it does or does not mimic apple or rhubarb, but is delicious in its own right.
To make this pie even easier, use refrigerated crust. Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from making crust from scratch, but don’t sweat the details in recipes like this and be willing to embrace shortcuts! If you prefer, you can make lattice strips to top this pie rather than a solid top crust. Make it your own and enjoy the last of tomato season in a unique way.
Sweet Green Tomato PieCourse: Sides, DessertsCuisine: Pa. Dutch, Coal RegionDifficulty: Intermediate
5 to 6 medium size green tomatoes, cored, cut into quarters lengthwise then thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups white sugar

The good news is- your lawn can be revived and look as good as new with very little effort, here is some Astute Realty pointers to help detect and treat lawn grub……
Signs of Lawn Grub
– If you notice patches of lawn suddenly dying, this could be evidence of armyworm activity. You may also notice small, grey moths flying around your lawn. (These moths are armyworms in their adult stage, looking for a place to lay their eggs.)
– You may see wasps hovering over your lawn. Certain species of wasp are a predator of lawn grubs and use them as hosts to feed their young.
– Soft small cotton like cocoons may appear in the ceiling of your awning, window sills, or plants
– There are many Grub treatments for lawns, available at your local Hardware store which can be easily watered in as granules or sprays connected directly to your hose. It is also also a good idea to broom and hose the cocoons to limit the moth activity.
If you are worried about the condition of your Lawn call your property manager at Astute Realty so it can be assessed. | agronomy |

Now, pests are organisms (typically insects) that are injurious to the interests of the individuals who refer to them as these kinds of. As a result to farmers, the bugs that invade and eat up their crops (no matter whether in the fields or for the duration of storage), would be termed as pests. On the other hand, the ‘domestic insects’ that tend to mess up with issues in domestic configurations (like moths, that can mess up with cloths in storage), are seen as pests by housekeepers. Really Wasp nest removal keeping in thoughts is that although most pests are bugs, there are also really are quantity that are non-bugs: with the likes of rodents (that can mess up with crops in farms of factors saved in domestic options) getting seen as pests as well, the fact that they are not bugs notwithstanding.
Obtaining witnessed that pests are injurious, it would be all-natural that the individuals who take place to ‘fall victim’ to them would want to get rid of them. In the meantime, folks who have not however fallen sufferer to pests would be eager to keep away from these kinds of a ‘fate.’ Hosting pests, by the way, can be a significant fate: hundreds of hectares of farmland have been identified to be wasted by pests in a single working day, leading to losses that often operate into hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is the actions taken to stay away from pest invasion then, or to resolve pest invasion if it has currently taken place, that are referred to as constituting pest handle.
Now pest management takes different forms, based on the pests 1 is making an attempt to get rid of (or to avert the invasion of). And whilst larger pests like rodents could be managed by means of mechanical signifies like trapping, for a long period of time of time, it is chemical handle that has labored for the large bulk of pests, which are likely to be insects as prior described. The chemical substances used in this endeavor are what are termed as pesticides. And although pesticides are normally really efficient in pest-handle, the downside to them tends to occur up when we contemplate the truth that they are inclined to be extremely environmentally unfriendly. Well worth keeping in mind, at this level, is the fact that the substances referred to as pesticides are inclined to be really potent types. So it typically takes place that traces of them continue being exactly where they have been utilized, even right after the pests are gone. Those traces are eventually washed down to the water bodies exactly where they wreck wonderful havoc to the (non pest) vegetation and animals resident in the h2o bodies.
It is concern about this environmental influence of chemical pest-handle that led to concerns as to no matter whether a much more environmentally good friend strategy for controlling pests couldn’t be designed. The end outcome was the exploration of alternate options like the organic pest management, which we are striving to see whether or not it is really the solution to worries lifted about (chemical- based mostly) pest management.
In biological pest-control, it is other organisms that are known to be predators to the kinds seen as pest that are unleashed on the said pests consuming them up and therefore resolving the pest problem. Hence if the troublesome pests are aphids, the other organisms that are recognized to feed on aphids are introduced into the field the place the dilemma is, to feed on the aphids, instead than spraying an environmentally unfriendly chemical.
The problem with organic pest-control, even though, is that it tends to be of questionable performance. Although chemical pest management tends to be complete, leaving no pests or even traces of them, in organic pest manage, that can not very be assured. Implementing biological pest manage on a massive scale foundation (for instance on a thousand hectare plantation) can also prove to be a herculean task. Ultimately, it is issues like these that make us keep on contemplating of a lot more environmentally friendly pest control techniques. This is because biological pest management, while definitely becoming an approach that addresses the environmental concerns lifted about chemical pest management, it doesn’t look to be effective (or scalable) enough, in most individuals people’s see. | agronomy |

We started with this dirt patch. It's the perfect spot for a few reasons:
1. It gets full sun.
2. It's right next to the spigot.
3. It's in a totally enclosed area of my backyard (there was a hot tub in that spot before I moved in here), meaning it keeps the plants sheltered from the wind, the dogs, and any kids who might want to investigate.
Here's what it looked like early in the day. At this point I had raked off all the pine needles (that's the mess on the bricks) and hosed it all down for a couple hours to soften it up.
Next I got started on churning up all the dirt with a gigantic garden fork. Meanwhile, Lily and Chris were keeping busy with batting practice.
They took a break from baseball to come help me do some digging.
We were left with this.
Then we put some topsoil on top.
After churning that up a little and smoothing it all out, it was time to set up the seeping hoses.
And here it is after we set up the hoses and planted everything. There's zucchini, cucumbers, watermelon, tomato, cantaloupe, peppers, basil, rosemary, and cilantro.
I have absolutely no gardening ability, so my fondest wish is to generate at least one piece of edible produce. Anything beyond that would just be gravy. | agronomy |

Native to China, the spotted lanternfly was first spotted in the United States in Berks County, PA in 2014 and has spread very quickly due to factors including optimal temperatures in the area and the rate of which they reproduce. The average female spotted lanternfly will lay 1-2 egg masses, each containing 30-60 eggs.
The surface of these egg masses appears as dried mud, typically on trees, outdoor furniture, vehicles, etc. Be sure to do an inspection of your property for these. Also, if you’re traveling this Fall, check everything you’re bringing, including your vehicle, for these egg cases. If you find any, scrape them into a plastic container of rubbing alcohol, seal it, and dispose of it. Below is a picture of a spotted lanternfly egg mass.
Spotted lanternflies have not been spotted everywhere in Pennsylvania. These areas where they have yet to infest include a large section of Northern Pennsylvania, as well as a few southwestern counties. Below is the latest map as of September 25, 2022, depicting where a spotted lanternfly quarantine is present, and where sightings of the bug have occurred.
Spotted lanternflies may cost Pennsylvania’s economy $328 million annually in the near-future, as well as 2,800 jobs, predicts economists at Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences. This is because spotted lanternflies feed on 70 plant species, including fruit trees, ornamental trees, woody trees, vegetables, herbs, grains and vines. In our area, apple trees, peach trees, and grapevines are commonly fed on, which is a major issue as Pennsylvania is fourth in apple production in the United States, fifth in peach production, and fourth in wine production.
While humans can certainly make a dent in the spotted lanternfly population, the only thing stopping the invasive species from spreading absolutely everywhere in the future is environmental suitability. As mentioned, adult spotted lanternflies die during the first frost, however their eggs do not. Spotted lanternfly egg masses can survive on surfaces as cold as 12-14 degrees Fahrenheit. This does not mean the eggs will die as soon as the air temperature reaches that 12-14 degree threshold, because the surface the egg mass is attached to must as well.
In Pennsylvania, the environmental suitability of spotted lanternflies greatly varies. Below is a map displaying the environmental suitability for spotted lanternflies.
Since temperature extremes greatly impact the suitability of a region, higher elevations of Pennsylvania are much less suitable for spotted lanternflies. These areas average several occurrences a winter of temperatures that kill spotted lanternfly egg masses.
Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the state’s valleys, where temperatures rarely drop below 12-14F for any longer than a few hours on the coldest days of winter. This will result in the spotted lanternfly egg masses surviving the winter and having an even larger season in 2023.
The good news is, we have six months from the first frost of the fall to the last frost of the spring to kill as many spotted lanternfly egg masses as possible. And as many of Pennsylvania’s valleys are not densely forested, their egg masses may be easier to spot. How to spot and discard of them is explained earlier in the article.

Please share this article to pass along this information to others across the state who can also take part in the efforts to reduce the spotted lanternfly population this winter. | agronomy |

Dark berries and ripe red currant flavors fill the cup. It has the caramelized sweetness of light brown sugar balanced with the tart acidity of passion fruit. Upon finish, it has a touch of citric sorbet and a creamy lingering mouthfeel reminiscent of chocolate truffle.
Life has a different pace on Nkonge hill. There is a stillness on the hill that is hard to find anywhere else in Burundi. You can walk for stretches on this green carpeted hill without seeing anyone. Dirt roads cut into the hill’s steep slopes, revealing panoramic views of banana trees and lush tea plantations. The high elevation of Nkonge fosters a harder, slower growing coffee bean. Natural springs find their way out of the hill, making sure its soils are always well watered. Patches of onions, tea, wheat, cabbage, maize, cassava and peas can be found growing alongside coffee in the hill’s rich soils.
Sadly, life hasn’t always been peaceful on Nkonge hill. The most recent civil war in Burundi brought great losses. Many farming families that fled returned to the hill only to find that their land had been divided or taken over by someone else.
With the help of coffee scouts Minani and Thierry, farmers are slowly rejuvenating their farms. The scouts are contributing greatly to farmers’ knowledge on growing and taking care of their coffee. The scouts are also working hard to motivate young people to take an interest in coffee. It is their vision to form a youth association and source land for them to start their own farms.
The Long Miles farm can also be found on Nkonge hill. Our very own Heza washing station manager Jeremie has planted a couple of thousand new coffee trees here. Our 2018 season will be the first time we harvest and taste our very own home-grown coffee.

(Route 152) Next to the library. There will be music and many vendors. Come check it out. We will have eggs, spinach, baby kale, beets, carrots, potatoes, onions and pie pumpkins. We wll also have our jams, maple syrup and granola.
Yes I know, I know, we haven’t posted in a very long time. If you follow us on Facebook, there is much more activity there. For dinner, we just made this. We used one of our pie pumpkins and stuffed it with sweet italian sausage, apple, cheese and maple syrup. It’s great, easy clean up – meal in a bowl. Yum.
Today was the first day that Hannah our new helper started. It was great to have a third hand today as we accomplished a lot and we are sure everyone will sleep well tonight. What we accomplished over the three day weekend: planted our plants: brussel sprouts, hot peppers, bell peppers, lunchbox peppers, green cabbage, red cabbage, all tomato plants and parsley. We also planted our glad bulbs. We seeded green beans and yellow beans and our second seeding of lettuce mix, spinach, beets and carrots. We also threw rocks, layed two more rows of plastic so we could plant the tomato plants. The only thing we did not get done was plant cucumbers and potatoes. We still have to ready these areas before they can go in the ground. Should be able to get these in by the end of the week.
We got a lot done this weekend. Turned out to be a nice weekend. We managed to move the chicken coop to greener pastures. We moved the baby chickens out to the coop. They are separated from the older chickens and will stay separated for a while. They are now 4 weeks old and have all of their feathers. They seem to like their new surroundings. We had and extra hand this weekend so work on the barn roof continued after having been put on the back burner. We got 290 pounds of potatoes cut up and ready for seeding next weekend. Seeded more vegetables. Put out our first round of lettuce heads and kale into the garden. Brought out several flats to the green house. Broccoli was put in the ground earlier this week. We are slightly behind schedule but doing the best that we can with the hours we have. Enjoy some of the pictures from the weekend.
We managed to get a lot accomplished this afternoon after the morning rain. We finished planting all of the onions, yellow 1,600 and leeks 2,372. We also planted 290 feet of beets, 300 feet of carrots, 300 feet of radishes, 300 feet of salad turnips, 300 feet of spinach and 300 feet of lettuce mix. It was good to get these seeded in the ground. Plus we needed to amend the one bed that we planted in. It was a productive afternoon.
It was sure nice to get our hands in the dirt today and have the sun shine on our faces. Spring is here and the daffodils are up.
Just spent the day readying two beds. Ordered about 1200 red onions and for some reason we ended up planting 1,916! I guess they wanted us to plant extra this year! Still have leeks and yellow onions to plant. I’m thinking we are going to have sore backs tomorrow with all that bending over we did today.
Folks, Lakes Region Food Network is currently fundraising for the Veggie Round Up. They did a brief intro last year. The markets we paraticipate in in Laconia will be participating this year. This is similar to the WIC coupons that were distributed through the Dept of Agriculture in prior years. The Veggie Round Up will be supported by donations only. It will benefit low income folks who cannot afford fresh vegetables at our markets. Here is a link if you wish to contribute to this important project. | agronomy |

In fact, many people forget that, outside of the 301 square miles that encompass New York City, there’s an additional 46,126 square miles of the actual state of New York. When I lived in Spain, the concept of there being more to New York outside of the Big Apple was mind-blowing for my European companions. With my limited español absolutely no help, the only way I could get my Spanish friends to understand that I herald from a small farming community was to tell them that I lived con las vacas (with the cows). It was generally at this point in the conversation that they started looking at me funny.
Outside of New York City, 36,300 farms cover 7 million acres of land, nearly a quarter of the state. Third in the nation for milk and dairy production, New York also has a large number of farms producing field crops like corn and wheat which mainly support the dairy industry. Perhaps one of the most intriguing statistics about agriculture in New York State is that most farms are still family-owned and family-run. It’s nestled within a handful of these small, patchwork farms, that I was raised.
Though not a farmer myself, aside from a short and highly unsuccessful experiment raising chickens in seventh grade, I’ve grown up with the children of local farmers who are now filling their parents’ shoes. But unlike their ancestors before them, more than ever this generation of farmer faces pressure both environmental and financial in nature. American agriculture, at least to many of these small farm-owners, is a relationship with the land and a business all at the same time. How do you find common ground where safe and healthy environmental practices, oftentimes quite expensive, will also allow you to stay afloat in this current economy? It’s a question that my friends lose sleep over and we non-farmers can help.
This past week, as part of my energy diet, I saw about a cow…or at least…parts of one. I also inquired about a pig, got my hands on a chicken, and picked up some produce at a few local farm stands. Even if you don’t live in a small farming community, taking a quick drive out to the country and buying directly from farmers means you can ask valuable questions about how your food was produced, learn what your cow/pig/chicken ate, and establish a relationship that can help you and your family make healthier food, and environmental, choices. | agronomy |

OUR DAILY BREAD?
As fuel prices creep upwards, as we are waiting to get hit by price rises from the energy cartel, the next hard blow to our wallets will come in the form of rising food prices. The poor summer across the northern hemisphere (either too wet or too dry) is impacting on global food prices which have risen by 10% in the month of July, which has raised the fears of soaring prices for the planet's poorest, as noted by the World Bank.
Oxfam has noted that when extreme weather events drive local or regional price spikes, the people living in poverty face a double shock as they have to cope with higher prices, just like the rest of us. The difference between the developed and developing world is that this often comes at a time when the direct effects of extreme weather events have often already depleted their assets, destroyed their crops and stripped them of their livelihoods.
Back in 2011 the emergency in the Horn of Africa and the 2012 Sahel food crisis clearly showed how this combination can lead to hunger on a mass scale. The small-scale subsistence farmers and the pastoralists ended up getting hit hard in both regions, where the loss of livestock and crops reduced available food stocks and also reduced the value of people’s assets so that they were unable to afford to buy food
The World Bank has warned that the affects of the US heat wave and drought in parts of Eastern Europe were partly to blame for the rising food costs. Key grains such as corn, wheat and soybean saw the most dramatic price increases, something that will hit those countries that import grains particularly badly. Between June to July (2012), corn and wheat prices rose by 25% and soybean prices increased by 17%. The World Bank noted that only rice prices fell by some 4%.
In the USA, the worst (and widespread) drought for fifty years has wrought havoc on the corn and soybean crops while simultaneously in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, the wheat crops have been badly damaged. To make matters worse, the World Bank noted that the continued use of corn to produce ethanol biofuels (which absorbs around 40% of US corn production) played a key role in the sharp rise in the price of US maize.
While we (the food consumers) will all loses out, the impact on developing countries in North and Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East who will be the most exposed to price rises because significant quantities of their food is imported and food bills make up a large proportion of average household spending, will be harsher. .
Already maize prices had increased by 113% over the past quarter in Mozambique, and the price of sorghum had risen 220% in South Sudan. Last time this happened (back in 2008) there was widespread unrest. Other potential factors could make a potentially bad situation worse and force grain prices still higher. The World Bank is concerned about a combination of food exporters pursuing panic policies, a severe El Nino, poor Southern hemisphere harvests and strong increases in energy prices.
The World Bank's Food Price Index (which tracks the price of internationally traded food commodities) was six percent higher than in July 2011 and one percent up from the previous peak, which was back in February 2011. Why is this important? Well aside from the fact that the most vulnerable in poorer countries will lose out? While we won’t starve, in the developed world as food (and fuel) prices go up, our purchasing power goes down (and we spend less), something that will hit the wider economy.

TRAINER MIKE MAKER IN PURSUIT OF HIS EIGHTH VICTORY IN THE GRADE 3, $200,000 JOHN B. CONNALLY TURF CUP AT SAM HOUSTON RACE PARK
HOUSTON, TX- The Houston Racing Festival will take place on Sunday, January 31 with a special afternoon post time of 1:45 pm (CT). The event includes six stakes, highlighted by the Grade 3, $300,000 Houston Ladies Classic with the acclaimed Connally Turf Course receiving its fair share of attention in the entry box as well.
Trainer Mike Maker has won seven of the past nine editions of the G3, $200,000 John B. Connally Turf Cup which is contested at the distance of one and one-half miles. A field of 12, including three turf specialists from the barn of Maker will compete, with post positions drawn Sunday.
One of his prospects this year, Three Diamonds Farm’s Marzo, ran third in last year’s edition of the race before running in the Grade 1 Sword Dancer at Saratoga. Sired by Medaglia D’ Oro, Marzo has won four races and $310,000 to date. He will break from post six with Albin Jimenez in the saddle.
“Marzo had been off since running in the Sword Dancer last August at Saratoga,” said Maker. “He did not handle the synthetic surface at Turfway Park (on December 31). We just used that race as a workout.”
Ajourneytofreedom closed to complete the superfecta in the $100,000 Gio Ponti at Aqueduct last November for her owners Paradise Farm Corp. and David Staudacher. The 4-year-old gelded son of Hard Spun will be ridden by Jesus Castanon, breaking from post three.
“I believe he will love the Sam Houston turf course,” he stated.
Maker’s third starter is Conviction Trade, who was claimed by Staudacher and tested his distance prowess last month in the H. Allen Jerkens, a two-mile turf stakes at Gulfstream Park. The Kentucky-bred son of Exchange Rate held the lead throughout the race, but had to settle for second.
“He had a good trip and showed his liking for the distance,” said Maker, who will give a leg up to rider Rafael Hernandez. “He was a little unlucky to lose, but that should set him up well for the Connally.”
Maker’s past Connally winners include Papa Bodie in 2012; Admiral Kitten in 2014; Coalport in 2015; Da Big Hoss in 2016 and a three-peat by Three Diamonds Farm’s Bigger Picture who captured the 2017-2019 editions of the turf stakes. Last year, Maker finished second and third to the Brad Cox trained Dot Matrix.
“I was disappointed, for sure,” admitted Maker. “I felt that each of my horses had a chance, but that’s racing. Guess I will just have to start a new streak on Sunday!”
Maker’s trio will have some very stiff competition from a number of quality turf runners including Spooky Channel who has been tabbed as the 5-2 morning-line choice. Owned by Terry Hamilton, he is impeccably bred for the turf, sired by English Channel out of the Kitten’s Joy mare Spooky Kitten. Trainer Brian Lynch gave the chestnut gelding a freshening following his start in the Grade 1, Manhattan last July at Belmont Park. His first race back was the Grade 2, Ft. Lauderdale on December 12 at Gulfstream Park, where he ran fourth to Largent. Lynch opted to send the eight-time winner to Houston instead of defending his title in the W.L. McKnight last Saturday at Gulfstream Park. He drew post position ten and will be ridden by Julien Leparoux.
“I thought the Connally was a very appealing fit,” said Lynch from his base in South Florida. “Spooky Channel is a marathon sort of horse and Julien has won on him before He came off a long layoff for the Ft. Lauderdale and finished well. I believe he will enjoy the Houston turf course.”
Signalman will make his first start at Sam Houston when trainer Ken McPeek sends in the 5-year-old son of General Quarters for owners Tommie M. Lewis, Steve Crabtree, Dean Demaree, David A. Bernsen, LLC and Jim Chambers.The Kentucky-bred will be making his 18th career start and has already banked $671,005, largely from his purse money from the 2018 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and victory in the Grade 2, Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill Downs. Jockey Reylu Gutierrez has the mount and will break from post position two at odds of 12-1.
“He has run well on the synthetic (at Turfway Park) and I definitely think he will like the distance,” said McPeek. “In a full field, it’s all about the timing, but I feel Reylu will get him into a good position.”
Claim To Fame Stable’s Tut’s Revenge has a solid turf record with five wins from seven starts for trainer Clinton Stuart. The 5-year-old gelding by Eskendereya had a great season at Remington Park, winning his last two and finishing second in the Remington Park Green. Ry Ekleberry has the call at odds of 9-2.
The John B. Connally Turf was awarded Grade 3 status in 2006 and boasts a solid roster of past winners including Chorwon, Fort Prado, Rod and Staff as well as three-time champions, Candid Glen and Bigger Picture.
The field for the Connally Turf Cup, to be run as race nine, from the rail, with riders and morning-line odds:
Celerity, Iram Diego, 30-1; Signalman, Reylu Gutierrez, 12-1; Ajourneytofreedom, Jesus Castanon, 10-1; Tenfold, Stewart Elliott., 6-1; Conviction Trade, Rafael Hernandez, 7-2; Marzo, Albin Jimenez, 10-1; Tuts Revenge, Ry Ekleberry, 9-2; Chagi, Weston Hamilton, 50-1; Vettori Kin(Brz), Miguel Mena, 20-1; Spooky Channel, Julien Leparoux, 5-2; Strong Tide, Sophie Doyle, 30-1 and Henley’s Joy, Declan Carroll ,15-1.
As previously announced, the ninth renewal of the Grade 3, $300,000 Houston Ladies Classic will run as the eighth race on the Houston Racing Festival Card. The field of seven, from the rail, with riders and morning line odds, is as follows: Motion Emotion, Miguel Mena, 7-2; Jeweled Princess, Reylu Gutierrez, 8-1; Ujjayi, Rafael Manuel Hernandez, 6-1; Lady Apple, Stewart Elliott, 4-1; Figure It Out, Lane Luzzi, 15-1; Shes Out Fastest, Ry Ekleberry, 20-1 and Letruska, Jesus Castanon, 1-1.
In addition to the two graded stakes on the Houston Racing Festival card, Sam Houston Race Park will present the following features. An additional press release will be forthcoming.
$200,000 Texas Turf Mile- 3YO -1 Mile (T)
$100,000 Pulse Power Turf Sprint – 4&up – 5 Furlongs (T)
$75,000 Stonerside Sprint – 4&up F&M – 1 1/16 Mile (T)
$75,000 Stonerside Sprint – 4&up – 6 Furlongs
“The goal five years ago was to create a special day of racing not only for our fans in Houston but develop an event that would evolve into a great day of racing on a national level,” said Frank Hopf, Sam Houston Race Park’s Senior Director of Racing Operations. “None of this is possible without the tremendous support we have received from the trainers and owners. The 2021 edition of the Houston Racing Festival is an indication we are getting closer to our goal.”
Sam Houston Race Park is Houston’s premier racing and entertainment facility, located just 15 miles from downtown Houston. The Park offers a variety of attractions including a Suite Level featuring luxurious suites overlooking the racetrack, The Pavilion Centre, and award-winning dining options at the Winner’s Circle Restaurant and the Jockey Club.

Turf Club Cocktails – recipes and history
A sibling, or at least cousin, of the Martinez and the Martini, the Turf Club is, or could be, the first cocktail to combine gin and vermouth. It makes its first written appearance in George Winter’s 1884 How To Mix Drinks–Bar-Keeper’s Handbook as the “Turf Club” with later books most often merely titling the drink “Turf”.
The name Turf Club refers to the gentlemen’s clubs of the late 1800s – early 1900s which operated as a combined restaurant, bar, meeting place and gambling den for the gentleman of the day. Captains of industry and the aristocracy have always liked horse racing, and where folk gather to watch racing there is bound to be betting. Many a ‘turf accountant’ (bookmaker) frequented such clubs and many a Turf Cocktail was consumed.
One of the most famous of these gentlemen’s clubs, The Turf Club, stood at the corner of Madison Avenue and 26th Street in New York. The building, Jerome Mansion, had pedigree, being the former home of Lady Randolph Churchill, the American mother of Winston Churchill – a man I suspect would have appreciated a well-made Turf Club cocktail.
There are several versions of the Turf Club Cocktail – extracts from vintage cocktail books over the decades (shown in chronological order below) record how this drink evolved.
Historic print references
As mentioned above, the oldest mention of the Turf Club cocktail is in Winter’s 1884 book.
How To Mix Drinks-Bar-Keeper’s Handbook 1884
His recipe calls for “Peruvian Bitters” (Amargo Chuncho), we tried in this cocktails and work well, but we’ve substituted Angostura in our interpretation of his original Turf Club recipe.
We’ve also adapted George Kappeler’s 1895 Turf club recipe from his Modern American Drinks book.
Modern American Drinks 1895
Harry Johnson tellingly doesn’t list the Turf cocktail in the 1882 first edition or the 1888 second edition of his Bartenders’ Manual, but does include it as the last drink in his revised 1900 New and Improved Edition. Johnson reflects changing tastes and fashions by calling for Plymouth gin rather than old tom gin in his turn of the century recipe.
Bartenders’ Manual 1900
We’ve adapted Johnson’s Turf Cocktail recipe to use measures a tad more specific than “½ wine glass”, although a wine glass is a lot sexier a measure than a millilitre.
Published 22 years later, Robert Vermeire’s 1922 Cocktails: How to Mix Them, again repeats the Harry Johnson formula, also crediting Johnson as being the drink’s creator.
Turf Cocktail (Vermeire 1922)
“Fill the bar glass half full of broken ice and add:
2 dashes of Orange Bitters
2 dashes of Maraschino
2 dashes of Absinthe
1/4 gill of Plymouth Gin
1/4 gill of French Vermouth
Stir up well, strain into a cocktail-glass, add olive.
Note especially no squeezed lemon-peel on top.
(Recipe by Harry Johnson, New Orleans)“
Sadly, I don’t own one of the early editions of Harry McElhone’s ABC of Mixing Cocktails but thanks to Dave Wondrich on esquire.com we know that McElhone’s 1922 edition also contains a version of the Turf Club that’s strikingly similar to Johnson’s recipe above.
Turf Club Cocktail (McElhone’s 1922 recipe)
“1½ oz Plymouth gin
1½ oz Dry vermouth
2 dashes Maraschino liqueur
2 dashes Orange bitters
2 dashes Absinthe
Garnished with an olive.“
In his 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book, Harry Craddock also repeats Harry Johnson’s 1900 recipe:
The Savoy Cocktail Book 1930
According to Albert Stevens Crockett’s 1931 Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Days, the Turf Cocktail served at the venerable old hotel was actually 2/3rds jenever to 1/3 sweet vermouth (as below) but I find these proportions make an overly dry drink so I’ve slightly upped the proportion of vermouth to gin in my adaptation of Crockett’s Turf Cocktail.
Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Days 1931
Charles H. Baker, Jr’s 1946 The Gentleman’s Companion: An Exotic Drinking Book is more a travel log with recipes than a bartender’s guide so accordingly he has a fair bit more to say on the Turf cocktail than the other authors quoted above, documenting three versions of the drink and where he encountered them:
The Improved Turf Cocktail, No. 1 (Baker 1939)
“…a modification of own from Dirty Dick’s, Nassau, B.I., 1937
We first sampled this drink in Nassau quite some time back, having flown over Pan-American Airways, after the official tourist season was finished, with a 6-year bride and 4 friends, to do a bit of sailing and swimming and basking on undiscovered white sand beaches by vitriol blue coral water that is clearer than anywhere else in the whole universe. A gentleman of colour suggested this as a dry, appetizing taste-thrill at Dirty Dick’s, and found it to be merely Holland gin and vermouth – nothing else except Angostura – in a 2 to 1 ratio….
After a bit of later experiment on self and friends we discovered that the addition of ½ a green lime – strained juice – and ½ tsp of grenadine or bar sugar works miracles with this drink.“
Turf Cocktail No. II (Baker 1939)
“…from the Taj Mahal Hotel, on Apollo Bunder, in Bombay, Saturday, February 14th 1931, to be exact;
Served after the Running of the Maharajah of Rajpipla Gold Cup at the Western India Turf Club, Ltd.
We had won all of sixty-seven rupees on this gold-cup, 23,000 rupees race, and were feeling very horsy and turfy, and tired of the eternal chotapegs – just plain Scotch and not-too-cold soda, without ice, of the last few days -and were open for suggestions. G.J. Mack, local Manager for General Motors Export, suggested a Turf Cocktail, of a recognised mix, and after a barrage of Hindustani this resulted, much to everyone’s amazement: 1 jigger of dry gin, 1 pony French vermouth, 1 tsp of absinthe, or Pernod Veritas; donate 1 tsp of maraschino and a dash of Abbots bitters. Stir in a bar glass like a Martini and serve in a Manhattan glass, ungarnished.“
Turf Cocktail No. III (Baker 1939)
“…from the Havana Country Club, Winter of 1930
This is virtually the same as No.II, only using old Tom gin for a base, orange bitters, and everything else the same.“
I’ve included links to our modern day adaptations of four of the vintage recipes mentioned above – each quite different from the others without one standing out as being ‘better’:
• Winter’s 1884 Turf Club recipe
• George Kappeler’s 1895
• Johnson’s 1900 Turf recipe
• Crockett’s 1935 Turf Cocktail
While working on these I came up with my own
• Surf & Turf riff on the classic. Enjoy and place your bets!
France – Monde | Turf Éditions en redressement judiciaire : les mauvaises affaires de Jacques-Henri Eyraud
Le président de l’OM est actionnaire majoritaire du groupe de presse hippique
Par L.P., G.Ry. (avec J.-L.C.)
Dès son arrivée à Marseille en octobre 2016, il avait pris ses distances et promis de vendre rapidement ses parts dans le groupe qu’il dirigeait depuis 2013, Turf Éditions.
Sauf que près de quatre ans plus tard, Jacques-Henri Eyraud, devenu président non-exécutif du premier groupe de presse hippique en France tout en restant actionnaire majoritaire, n’a toujours pas trouvé l’offre qu’il espère depuis si longtemps, après avoir confié le mandat de vente à la banque d’affaires Rotschild. A-t-il surévalué le prix ? Certaines sources militent pour cette option.
Le choix du potentiel repreneur décidé le 22 juin
Toujours est-il que la situation ne cesse de se dégrader pour cette entreprise qui emploie quelque 250 personnes (195 titulaires et 65 pigistes) et édite une dizaine de titres. Elle a pris de plein fouet la crise du coronavirus, laquelle a provoqué l’arrêt des courses hippiques.
Une procédure de redressement judiciaire a été ouverte par le tribunal de Bobigny à l’encontre de la société (qui était en cessation de paiement). C’était le 26 mai et, d’après certaines indiscrétions, le choix du potentiel repreneur sera décidé le 22 juin. Le groupe Riccobono Presse Investissement a récemment déposé un dossier de reprise. Avec un projet clair : reprendre l’ensemble des activités du groupe et donc la totalité des actifs, y compris ceux de ses filiales.
“Il nous a totalement abandonnés”
La dernière fois qu’ils ont vu Jacques-Henri Eyraud, c’est il y a quatre ans, en janvier, au pot de la nouvelle année. “Depuis, il n’est jamais revenu“, racontent des journalistes de Paris Turf, amers contre le président de l’OM, qui leur avait pourtant affirmé lors de son arrivée que “le turf, c’est le projet de ma vie.” “Il faut admettre que la stratégie qu’il a initiée et qui a été poursuivie par son équipe après son départ n’a pas été la bonne“, analyse un journaliste, lui aussi très remonté. “Il a voulu que l’on se diversifie en oubliant notre coeur de métier : la presse et les courses“, reprend un confrère. “Les experts-comptables et les commissaires aux comptes auraient tiré la sonnette d’alarme sur la situation de la trésorerie il y a un peu plus d’un an“, affirment les salariés qui insistent sur le fait qu’ils ont “totalement été abandonnés.” Leurs seuls espoirs ? Une rencontre prévue lundi au ministère de la Culture et de la communication, et des offres de reprise qu’ils attendent.
Turf Wars | Electrical Wholesaling
Turf wars naturally crop up among electrical distributors competing for the same customers. When turf wars occur within your own organizations, they usually send sales and profits into a downward spiral.
If associates within your company are battling one another, it’s time to identify which combination of the following six causes need to be addressed: insecurity, changes in leadership, lack of resources, internal competition, poor communication and the dogfight manager.
When someone feels uncertain about his or her position, skill level or job security, the insecurity often manifests itself as a turf war. Insecure managers or salespeople quickly blame others for errors. An insecure employee will develop a “victim” mentality and always is the brunt of something that “just happened.” Often defensive about decisions and protective of turf, an insecure employee may not want any assistance or invasion into his area of responsibility. Lastly, an insecure employee will sometimes lash out, causing a tremendous distraction to your other employees who get sucked into the drama. The entire organization suffers as a result.
For managers who see a turf war developing around an individual’s insecurities, the best way to put it to rest is to take control. First, stress the policy that, “We are a team that helps everyone get better by sharing information and assistance.” By creating an environment of mutual assistance, you are telling employees no sacred cows exist in your department, and that you’re not interested in anyone trying to be the lead dog. If you are consistent in this expectation, turf wars will be kept to a minimum.
The manager should also have a talk with the insecure individual to find out what might be causing this insecure reaction. Is there greater pressure on the individual to perform financially because the spouse lost his or her job? Is the individual coasting? Has the employee given up because he thinks he can’t compete anymore? Coach this person through the insecurities; you will not only help the employee move forward but also remove the catalyst for the turf war.
Changes in leadership
When leadership changes, employees sometimes revert to animal-based programming deep in their DNA to try to determine the new “alpha.” The new leader may bring unknown skills and expectations, and everyone wants to make a positive first impression as well as take the opportunity to climb in the reordering of the pack. In some cases, people may feel they were overlooked for the promotion and create a turf war with the incoming leader.
It’s tricky for any manager stepping into a new position to be assertive enough to establish alpha status without shutting down everyone in the process. It gets more complicated if that new manager is promoted from within the current employee staff. As the new leader, call a department meeting and address such issues by making your expectations abundantly clear, explaining your work style, and “taking the elephant out of the room” by addressing the reordering and positioning.
Lack of resources
In a downsizing environment, a scarcity mentality often causes people to feel threatened, making them protective of what they perceive as theirs. In other words, they start guarding their turf.
A scarcity mentality breeds protectionism. People play to not lose instead of playing to win. Salespeople focus on maintaining what they have instead of exploring new opportunities, which only perpetuates limited resources. The lack of resources also ill-prepares and ill-equips staff for creating additional resources. If training is reduced or eliminated or the sales staff isn’t continuously upgraded with technology to be competitive, panic will set in and cause insecurity.
There is a difference between being poor and being broke. The difference is attitude. “Poor” perceives the situation will not change. “Broke” believes the lack of resources is a temporary condition that will be resolved with good decision making focused on the long-term benefits of short-term sacrifices.
When facing a lack of resources, be sure to focus on the longer-term overall benefit and maintain a positive focus. No one would consider chopping off a limb as a good way to lose weight, so why do that in business?
In the United States, people love sports. Using sports analogies in business, we compare athletic heroics to individuals’ performance in the workplace, and we try to create the same type of competitive environment believed to drive athletes to greater heights.
The flaw with this logic, as any team manager will tell you, is that internal competition among the players can cause the team to suffer at the expense of star attention. Competition needs to be outside the organization on a global playing field. Internal strife only gives the opposition opportunity to get ahead.
Healthy internal competition should be based on self improvement with employees competing against their own individual goals as opposed to competing against others on the sales force. With this type of competition, there can be more than one winner. If the team gels, members of the team will assist each other so everyone on the team achieves his or her personal goals. Everyone wins, especially the company if goals are set correctly.
With the advances in communication technology, one might think we would have eliminated communication problems, but they continue to be one of the biggest causes of profit loss and turf wars. Withholding information, incomplete information and inaccurate information are all examples of poor communication no matter whether it’s intended or unintentional.
The phrase, “Knowledge is power,” is often misunderstood by those fighting a turf war. Although withholding information can make a person feel more valuable or in control in the short term, in the long term, withholding information can be detrimental to the common good of the company.
The new communication model for business is the Fish Bowl model. Like a fish bowl, which can be viewed from any angle, information is freely distributed. Everything can be seen and is out in the open. With a wealth of information at our fingertips via the Internet, the quicker companies get on that model, the quicker information can be shared and the better communications can happen. Technology today allows the process of information sharing to occur faster, but the key to improving communication between employees and eliminating turf wars is to set a tone of openness.
The dogfight manager
If you have ever uttered any of the following phrases as a manager, you’re probably a dogfight manager.
“Why can’t you be as good as he is?”
“You better get your act together or you will be looking for a job.”
“How can you let that guy beat you? You should be beating his numbers.”
A dogfight manager pits one employee’s performance against another, and then sits back to watch the survival of the fittest. It’s a turf war by mandate.
Managers should resist comparing employees. Everyone brings different skills to the team, and managers are there to coach and assist them to create the best team. Focus on the individual development of each of your staff members to help them become better at what they do and to grow in their skills and abilities. Instead of comparing the best and worst of your sales team, why not ask the best salesperson to be a mentor for the employee who needs the most development? Unless you have set the internal competition by compensation, the mentoring employee will appreciate the recognition, and your team will grow stronger.
Turf wars can cause so much disruption and drama in a company that everyone becomes more focused on the internal soap opera and less productive. Take a look around and identify your turf war causes, then correct them and watch your profits increase.

The choice of grasses for creating lawns
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to give an objective assessment of the varieties (even the few that get to our market). There is no variety testing in our country, and the ratings of foreign tests (European BSPB and American NTEP), for obvious reasons, cannot reflect how the studied varieties will behave in our climate. Nevertheless, the analysis of these studies, at least indirectly, can help determine the vast sea of varieties of lawn grasses.
First of all, everyone should understand that winter hardiness is far from the most important limiting factor when evaluating varieties in Western Europe and the USA.
Fortunately, the genetically determined species “strength” of red fescue and, all the more, meadow bluegrass, allows almost all varieties of these herbs to be grown without much fear in most climatic zones of our country (with the exception, perhaps, of the most northern regions, where there may be problems with overwintering red fescue). Nevertheless, as practice shows, those varieties that have proven themselves well in trials in the northern and central states of the United States are also good for Russia.For the southern regions of Russia and for the Volga region, attention should be paid, first of all, to drought resistance and heat resistance. In these areas, foreign breeders are now working especially actively and have achieved unconditional success. Already there are varieties that retain their decorative effect for 4-5 weeks without watering, which makes it possible in our climate to do without artificial irrigation in most cases.
Despite the fact that fescue is considered more drought tolerant than bluegrass, its new varieties can successfully compete with the best varieties of fescue, and, given the speed of recovery from stress and increased heat resistance, even surpass them.
By the way, American experts believe that in conditions where there is a danger of extreme temperature rises, varieties of ordinary red fescue (Festuca rubra rubra) should be preferred to varieties of red fescue (Festuca rubra commutata) or rough fescue (Festuca trachyphylla, Hard Fescue in American catalogs).
Reed fescue, widely used in the arid zones of the United States, is still not very popular in our country. The few varieties that were studied under the conditions of the Moscow region did not show themselves too well – they do not tolerate overwintering well and slowly recover.In more southern regions of Russia, its new varieties, of course, could compete with traditional types of lawn grasses, but, unfortunately, it is almost impossible to find them on our market so far.
A story about long-lasting lawn grasses would be incomplete without mentioning the species of bent grass. Three species are of interest for use on lawns: creeping (Agrostis stolonifera), fine (A. tenuis) and canine (A.canina). The first species can be most often found on sale, because varieties of this bent field are in demand when arranging a golf lawn.The other two species, in my opinion, could be even more interesting for Russian consumers, but their seeds are very difficult to find on sale. The trick is that these species are of little interest for culture in the United States, and our own seed production of lawn grasses is absent in our country, so for now we have to adjust our desires to those seeds that farmers in Oregon and Denmark will kindly grow for us, for whom the Russian market is far from The most interesting. A well-groomed field lawn always delights those who see it.But the agricultural technology of its cultivation is different from other herbs, so the decision to use these species on the lawn should be balanced and thoughtful.
Speaking about the types of lawn grasses, one cannot pass by pasture ryegrass
A rare lawn mixture can do without it. World production of seeds of this species is almost more than all other lawn grass seeds combined. Why such an honor? Maybe the truth is the best herb?
Now is the time to remember that in addition to permanent lawns, there are also temporary ones.It is perennial ryegrass (aka perennial, aka English) that underlies them. It rises quickly (sometimes after 3-5 days), quickly (after 2-3 weeks, when the bluegrass does not even think to emerge) forms a rather dense, beautiful grassy carpet on which you can run, jump, play football. Even weeds are usually unable to compete with him in vitality. But time passes (sometimes 2-3 years, sometimes a little more or less) and the ryegrass lawn “grows old”: it becomes rare, hummocky, and winter hardiness is lost with age.
By the way: modern, “lawn” varieties – a miracle, how good they are! The lawn looks just perfect, and even does not require any special worries: it is resistant to diseases, hardy, and does not clog. Suffice it to mention the fact that the supergasses on the famous Wimbledon courts have recently been made only from ryegrass.
It would seem that here it is, the obvious decision: take, mix everything – and you get the same “dream lawn”. Let ryegrass show itself at first, and then fescue or bluegrass will replace it (as appropriate).This bike is widespread in Soviet lawn books. Serious research shows that most of the time, nothing good comes out of this idea. Ryegrass perceives the seedlings of other grasses as competitors, displacing them from the grass stand. Therefore, it really turns out that by the time the ryegrass dies, there are almost no other grasses in the lawn.
Professionals know that ryegrass in the mix should be avoided when setting up a long-lasting lawn. As a last resort, it can be added, but not more than 30%, in order to give a chance to survive for others.It is even more dangerous to make a mixture with the addition of bent grass. It is so aggressive that adding even 0.5% to a mixture of other herbs will suppress them.
In some cases, it is much preferable to use not a mixture of species, but a single-species mixture of varieties (or even seeds of only one variety.) In this case (and only in this case), you can get a perfectly uniform lawn. Indeed, is it worth adding meadow bluegrass to your lawn mixture, which will be in the shade most of the day? Should you add fescue to your turf where you plan to play sports? It should also be remembered that “mixed” lawns live their own lives, constantly changing.Some people like it, some don’t.
In any case, a professional approach implies a thoughtful approach to mixing. It is necessary to take into account not only the competitiveness of herbs, but also the texture of the leaf, and the color, and the attitude to various factors.
It is not for nothing that many experienced landscape designers prefer ready-made store mixes, made “on the knee”.
Finally, as a summary, I would like to give some friendly advice.
- Before you start purchasing seeds, assess your desires and possibilities, as well as the conditions of your site – this will allow you to make the right choice between the types of grass. If you decide to use a blend of herbs, try to prioritize what is more important to you.
- Thoughtfully, take your time, browse the range of herbs and mixtures available in stores and online. Feel free to consult with experts or discuss your doubts on thematic forums.
- Pay attention not only to the species (meadow bluegrass, red fescue, etc.), but also to the variety. Varieties can differ significantly from each other – information on the properties of a variety is quite easy to find on the Internet (remember that the author of a variety is not always objective in his assessment – so do not neglect the comparative assessment of BSPB and NTEP). Sometimes manufacturers / sellers of mixtures do not indicate the name of the varieties. As a rule, this is not connected with malicious intent – they simply order the packaging for future use (this is cheaper), and the mixtures are then prepared from the seeds of those varieties that they managed to purchase.Again, feel free to contact the manufacturer for missing information.
- Of course, it is safer to buy fresh seeds, but at the same time, it is useful to know that the germination rate of lawn grass seeds can remain at a high level for several years. In some cases, it is advisable (and economically viable) to purchase last year’s seeds.
- For a long-lasting attractive lawn, avoid mixtures containing even a minimal amount of perennial hay (forage) grasses, such as meadow fescue, hedgehog, timothy – they form ugly mounds on the lawn, which are not easy to get rid of.
- Avoid purchasing mixtures with a high (more than 20%) content of perennial ryegrass, unless such a choice is justified by the desire to set up a temporary or special (for example, sports) lawn. Ryegrass is very aggressive in the mix and suppresses all other species.
- It is easier to make a good lawn from one type of grass than from a mixture with an incorrectly selected composition of grasses.
Benefits of using a lawn grate
To preserve the grass on footpaths, sports grounds and car parks, a lawn grill is used, which can be purchased from the company https: // gazonnayareshetka.ru /.
Advantages and disadvantages of using a lawn grate
The lawn grating has both strengths and weaknesses. Its main benefits include:
- Ease of installation that even a layman can handle.
- Preservation of lawn grass even under the load of a car.
- Environmental friendliness of materials of manufacture.
- Ability to perform its functions in all weather conditions.
- Ease of maintenance, the ability to mow the lawn and use any technique.
Among the disadvantages of the lawn lattice, the following points should be noted:
- Slab settlement. To prevent this problem, it is necessary to correctly calculate the load in accordance with the weight of the machine and periodically change its location, without leaving it in one place for more than three days.
- Difficulty in cleaning. After a rainstorm, it is difficult to remove accumulated water from the cells. The same applies to technical fluids from a car.
- Blades of grass break when pressed against the grate.
The main varieties of lawn grates
All existing lawn gratings are divided into two types, based on the material of their manufacture: plastic and concrete. The first ones are made of high-strength plastic, their cells are in the form of rhombuses or honeycombs. They can be black or green. The advantages of plastic lawn grates are invisibility and ease of installation. Plates easily attach to each other and quickly separate into parts. Plastic grates are light and heavy, the choice depends on the planned load on the lawn.
Concrete gratings are made up of slabs located close to each other. They are installed in areas with high load and heavy soil, which complicates the outflow of water after a rainstorm. The advantages of concrete lawn grates are as follows:
- long service life;
- high strength, allowing them to be installed even in truck parking areas;
- affordable cost.
The main disadvantage of concrete lawn gratings is the heavy weight of the blocks, and therefore you have to use special equipment to install them.In addition, the concrete grating cannot be completely hidden, even with tall grass. In some cases, this feature spoils the style of the site.90,000 Want a beautiful lawn or lawn? Will Help “World Lawn” | SOCIETY

“Big encyclopedia of flower perennials” Diev M.M.
The Encyclopedia contains images and descriptions of almost all floral and decorative perennials grown in Russia, and also provides information on their agricultural technology, reproduction and use in landscape design. The book highlights the stability of each species or cultivar, their rarity.
Considering the huge volume of illustrations and the exclusivity of the text, we can say with confidence that there was no such publication in our country, and is not expected in the coming years.By and large, the Encyclopedia is an album, a reference book, and an encyclopedia. It is intended for both beginner florists and professional botanists. In addition, the book will undoubtedly interest, for example, biology teachers, agronomists and simply nature lovers. The Encyclopedia includes over 1600 original photographs.
The material for this book has been collected by the author for 17 years. Most of the pictures were taken in Moscow and the Moscow region.
Resistance and cultivation specifics are given, respectively, for this climate. The undoubted advantage of the publication is also the fact that it includes species that are widely advertised and sold, but not stable in the conditions of Central Russia, as the author was convinced from his own experience. Plants common in our country, sometimes presented as exotic, are also considered.
By the way, many highly decorative perennials presented in the book –
are little known or unknown to flower growers in Western Europe.Many – have never even been photographed by anyone, but are increasingly grown in our country and are very promising ornamental crops.
We can say that this Encyclopedia is the most complete illustrated edition in our country since the time of Regel. National event.

The most common problems of lawn coverings in the zone of humid subtropics of Russia and ways to solve themAny landscape is a volumetric-spatial structure, which consists of interconnected elements – planning (road and path network, sites, etc.)), volumetric (tree, shrub and herbaceous vegetation, small architectural forms, structures, landforms, etc.) and flat (water surfaces, parterres, glades, etc.) Compositional combinations of these elements determine the spatial nature of the landscape [5, 6].
The contrast of open (planar elements) and closed (volumetric elements) spaces makes the landscape picturesque and attractive, regardless of the design style. Open spaces (garden and park, parterre, meadow, Moorish, sports lawns) play no less significant role in the formation of the landscape than volumetric forms.
A lawn is a sod cover made of grasses or ground cover plants that replace grasses, which are the main background of plantings. A good-quality lawn with a dense grass stand plays an important sanitary and hygienic role, retaining a large amount of dust, regulating temperature conditions and air humidity . A classic lawn is a grassy covering made of cereal plants that are distinguished by biological characteristics. For perennial grasses of a temperate climate, the formation of numerous shortened vegetative shoots with nodes closely spaced at their base is characteristic.Such shoots can exist for one or several years, and then move on to flowering. Each sprout of the cereal grows independently, growing from the bottom, which makes regular mowing possible. [eleven]. However, the use of traditional grasses is problematic in the humid subtropical zone.
Recently, the share of lawn coverings in the landscaping of Sochi has increased sharply. The current situation of their creation in the zone of humid subtropics is quite critical, since, in connection with the accelerated creation of Olympic facilities, roll lawns were mainly used in landscaping areas.Responsibly, we can declare the problems of the operating organizations that are faced with the issues of the inadequate quality of lawns.
The unsatisfactory state of the lawn coverings is associated, firstly, with the violation of the device technology and, secondly, with unskilled care.
Violations of device technology . Often, the underlayment for lawns is poorly prepared. In most cases, as shown by the studies carried out by us together with the laboratory of agrochemistry and soil science, the soil layer under the lawns is structureless, often too light in particle size distribution (cohesive sandy sand and sandy loamy sand) and insufficient thickness (less than 10 cm, at a rate of 20-30 cm ), in many cases contains a large number of inclusions (pebbles, stones, rubble, construction waste, etc.), and in a number of areas it is characterized as highly stony from the surface itself. In general, it is characterized by a low level of fertility.
Initially, the customers of rolled lawns focused on suppliers of non-zoned material : cereals grown in the natural and climatic conditions of Rostov-on-Don, Volgograd, etc. are used in rolls. It would seem that these are areas where high summer temperatures are also noted, and herbaceous plants must withstand the conditions of the Greater Sochi area.However, the issues of high humidity in the region are not taken into account, when winter “lumping” of the lawn cover is possible, as well as “podperevanie” in the summer months. It is also necessary to take into account the negative impact of the sea breeze, in which the content of salt microparticles is increased, which negatively affects the survival rate and condition of the roll lawn. The formed sod does not always cope with the supply of oxygen to the root systems under these conditions. Newly created, as a rule, parterre lawns are located on large open areas, where an intense insolation regime is noted.When creating such lawns in the spring and summer months, it is necessary to use artificial “shades”.
The results of the studies carried out at several new landscaping objects (the Seaport of Sochi, the Olympic Park, the Azimut hotel, etc.) showed that many areas are in an unsatisfactory condition – there are a large number of “glades”, “bald patches”, “bald patches” »(Occupying from 30 to 90% of the area), the grass stand is weak, sparse, yellowed, dry, without signs of a normal process of photosynthesis.
Considering the issue of ways of creating lawns , it is worth noting that lately, most of the laying of finished sod has been used, slightly hydroseeding (in areas of greening of streets and highways), lawns were practically not used by the method of sowing seeds, and the vegetative method was not used at all creating coatings. It is also worth noting that in technologies for creating lawn coverings, there is practically no such procedure as sowing lawn grasses on areas with unevenly grown grasses.In our opinion, the most suitable for the zone of humid subtropics is the device of a lawn covering by sowing seeds.
It is also worth mentioning the used formulations of grass mixtures . Producers offer a very limited range of cereals. So, preference is given to fast-growing species ( Lolium perenne L. and others), used to quickly create a green background, but short-lived. They sometimes occupy up to 40% of the grass mixture. The most suitable species for creating lawns in the area under consideration, subject to agrotechnical practices, are Poa angustifolia L., Festuca rubra L., F. arundinaceae Schreb., Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers., Agrostis stolonifera L. coastal strip and resistant to sea spray and aerosols – Festuca arundinaceae Schreb. and Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. [four].
The time of creation of lawn coverings also plays an important role.Unfortunately, many objects were created at the wrong time (November-December and July-August). The optimal time for sowing seeds of lawn grasses and laying out the finished sod is spring: from April 15 to May 15, and autumn: from September 1 to October 15, at an air temperature not lower than + 14-15 ° C. Reconstruction of the lawn coverage in humid subtropics it is best to start at the end of September – October, when daytime temperatures steadily decrease. In hot weather with intense insolation and low relative air humidity, the seeds of cereal grasses are dormant, their germination decreases [4, 10].
The quality of the lawn cover, the power of the root system and the density of the grass stand depend on regular and correct maintenance : systematic watering, constant mowing, planned pre-sowing fertilization and subsequent fertilizing, mulching, aeration, liming.
The reason for the poor quality of the turf is incorrect watering (selection of spray nozzles, hours, duration and rate of watering). This is evidenced by the general poor condition of the grass stand, the weak growth pattern of lawn grasses, and the weak formation of root systems.The optimum moisture content of the distribution zone of the bulk of the root systems of lawn grasses is 75-85% of the total moisture capacity of the soil. Good, friendly seedlings can be obtained only if the soil surface is kept moist (grass seeds are located in the uppermost, rapidly drying layer). It is necessary to irrigate evenly, using sprinklers, avoiding stagnation of water in certain areas .
Also, an important issue affecting the state of lawn coverings is the correct organization of the process of mowing grass.Regular mowing creates a dense sod that is resistant to weeds and trampling. Too low mowing of the grass stand (which is associated with the massive use of trimmers) leads to the fact that large-stemmed herbs ( Lolium perenne L., Festuca arundinaceae Schreb.) First of all fall out of the grass mixture, which negatively affects the decorative effect of the site. Prolonged non-mowing of the lawn leads to etiolation of the lower part of the shoots, the herbage lodges and loses its decorative effect.Mowing a young lawn should be started when the grass reaches a height of 10–12 cm, the grass stand is cut at a level of 4–5 cm, and in a hot period – 6–7 cm (this rule should be observed during subsequent care).
Systematic mowing of lawns causes the need for abundant and systematic nutrition in herbaceous plants, feeding in the first year of the formation of the lawn is especially important. Mineral dressings are applied three times per season: in early spring – N 30 P 30 K 10 , in the middle of summer – N 40 P 30 K 30 , in early October – N 10 P 30 K 20 .To maintain the lawn in good condition, it is necessary to apply organic fertilizers (humus, compost, fine horse manure) at a rate of 3 kg per 1 m 2 (even layer on the surface of the lawn 0.5–2 cm thick), at the beginning of the growing season. Regular feeding is a preventive measure to combat weeds, which avoids the use of herbicides prohibited for use in resort areas.
An increase in the life of the lawn is facilitated by piercing the sod for the purpose of aeration.Piercing is carried out twice a year in April and October by hand or using a roller-aerator. In humid subtropics conditions, liming of soils is an important technique, which is carried out in order to avoid “acidification” leading to the development of mosses. Mulching contributes to the creation of favorable conditions for the growth and development of cereal grasses, as well as to the strengthening of the sod. This event should be carried out every two to three years in late autumn or spring, after the first mowing with a mixture of plant soil, peat and sand with a layer of 2-3 cm.
Due to dense plantings of tree and shrub vegetation and the use of a large number of evergreens to create shady areas in the summer, grassy grasses as a lawn cover are not always applicable in the Greater Sochi region (the complexity of the relief, the low thickness of the fertile layer, the presence of age park plantings, etc.). The zone of humid subtropics and its natural and climatic conditions determine the use in lawn coverings not of herbaceous cereals, but of perennial herbaceous and woody ground cover plants, lianas.To solve practical problems of ornamental gardening in the zone of humid subtropics, a group of ground cover plants has been distinguished in the classification of tree species. Although this group is heterogeneous in the composition of its life forms, it is homogeneous in its use in landscape compositions [3, 9].
The group includes:
– open and creeping undersized conifers: Microbiota decussata Kom., Juniperus pseudosabina Fisch. & C. A. Mey., J.communis cv. Prostrata , J. sargentii cv. Glauca , varieties J. horizontalis Moench, J. davurica Pall., J. sabina L., J. chinensis L., J. squamata Lamb .;

In the structure of green spaces in humid subtropics, ground cover plants play a special role, imparting a characteristic layering to the plantings and decorating the soil under densely crowned trees and shrubs. It is especially important that this group of plants in many cases does not suffer from the allelopathic influence of large tree species [1, 2, 3].
The use of such plants as a ground cover provides a decorative effect throughout the year, but also has an economically beneficial component, since agrotechnical care is somewhat simplified. Ground cover plants do not require regular cutting and mowing, watering is necessary in the first years of life and the dry summer months, these crops are more durable.
When forming lawn coverings in the area of humid subtropics, each gardening specialist must make a choice: a traditional classic lawn made of cereal crops, and the associated high physical and material costs, or an alternative lawn cover from the groups of plants recommended above.The key to a high-quality decorative lawn covering, and with it urban landscapes, is the correct selection of crops and responsible agrotechnical care.

Golden rules of the landscape. The secret of a beautiful lawn
Most of the owners of country houses strive to arrange a lawn on the site. Even if they are going to limit the landscape work to the necessary minimum and all further improvement will be reduced to paving paths, they would like to have a lawn.And few people at this moment imagine what kind of attention and care the lawn will require. To be able to walk on a green lawn in summer, you need to start caring for it immediately after the snow melts in early spring. Larisa Tisova, an agronomist of the Sady Semiramida company, told about the secrets of a beautiful lawn to the Siberian House.
A green lawn cleans the air from dust, improves the microclimate (on the hottest day, the air temperature at the surface of the lawn is 4 ° C lower than on the paving stones) and allows you to visually increase the size of the site.But in order to feel these advantages from the appearance of a lawn on the site, the owners will first have to make a lot of effort: feed the lawn on time, regularly mow, water.
1. Feed on time
The first thing to start caring for a lawn in spring is mechanical cleaning (removal of fallen leaves with a rake) and fertilization. Spring feeding should stimulate grass growth throughout the season because it is rich in nutrients.The mixture consists of three nutrients necessary for the lawn: nitrogen accelerates the growth of plants after mowing and is responsible for the growth of green mass (22 g per sq. M), phosphorus helps to develop the root system, promotes tillering (20 g per sq. M), potassium improves water exchange, increases the resistance of the lawn to low temperatures, drought, fungal diseases (applied 12 g per sq. m).
During the season, you will have to return to the procedure more than once, and the composition of nutrients will differ depending on the season and the condition of the lawn.Constant mowing of the grass during the summer injures the plants, therefore, for a faster recovery, the lawn is fed with nitrogen three times in the summer season. At the beginning of summer, 10-12 g / sq. m of nitrogen fertilization of urea, in August 7 g / sq. m.
The last time the lawn is fed in the fall to stimulate the root system, so that the grass will recover faster in the spring. Autumn dressing contains phosphorus and potassium. At this time, superphosphate 30 g / sq. m, potassium sulfate 20 g / sq. m. The last feeding should be carried out in the first decade of September.
2. Provide air access to the roots
In the spring, as soon as the water has left the lawn, it is time for aeration (lawn piercing). The purpose of this procedure is to improve air exchange at the roots and accelerate the growth of the grass.
– Over time, the soil of the lawn becomes compacted, in those areas where this occurs, less air begins to flow to the roots. Therefore, we pierce the sod to provide air access to the roots, ”explains Larisa Tisova, an agronomist at Sady Semiramida.
For this purpose, landscape designers use a special heavy roller with spikes, which rolls over the lawn and pierces holes in it, in domestic conditions the same effect, with a little more effort, can be achieved using a garden pitchfork or special sandals with spikes. Having put on such shoes, it is necessary to go through the entire area occupied by the lawn, foot to foot.
A pitchfork is used to pierce the turf every 10 cm. Aeration is carried out, as a rule, twice a season, in spring and autumn, but if the lawn is too compacted, you can also pierce the lawn in summer.
3. Regularly mow
The time for the first mowing comes in May, when the grass reaches a height of 10–15 cm.
– The first spring mowing is carried out to a height of 8 cm. Then, throughout the season, the grass is mowed to a height of 4–6 cm, explains Larisa Tisova. – The lawn should be mowed at least once a week, with intensive grass growth, the mowing should be done every five days. It is better to choose cloudy weather for mowing, do it in the evening. To achieve a uniform lawn color, move the mower in the same direction when mowing.In areas that are inaccessible to the lawn mower, in the vicinity of trees, use a trimmer.
If, for some reason, the lawn was not mowed in time and the grass has overgrown, experts advise not to mow it immediately to a height of 4–6 cm, but return to the procedure several times.
If the grass on the lawn is thinning, the lawn is most likely lacking food. In this case, mulching is carried out, the task of which is to stimulate the tillering of lawn grasses and the formation of side shoots, which should create an even green lawn.When mulching, the lawn is covered from above with an enriched mixture of humus, sand or a special soil mixture consisting of two parts of humus, two parts of black soil and one part of coarse sand. The mixture is poured onto the lawn from above, after which, using a rake, it is distributed evenly over the entire area in a layer of 1 & -2 cm.
5. Water thoroughly
Regular mowing throughout the summer season injures the lawn grass, therefore, in order to prevent the lawn from turning yellow, it must be watered abundantly and often.A lawn that is mowed once a week needs 30 liters of water per square meter every day. It is better to use automatic irrigation systems for this purpose. It is difficult to provide a large-area lawn with the required amount of water without the use of automatic equipment. If the lawn is watered by hand, the only way to check if it is getting enough moisture is to cut open the turf and see how deeply the soil is moistened. During one watering, the soil layer should be moistened to a depth of 10 cm.
Weed management is an important part of your lawn care package. Weeding can be carried out in two ways, weeding out the weeds by hand or using selective herbicides for this purpose. These formulations differ in that they act only on broad-leaved plants, without causing any harm to lawn plants. Local herbicides for weeding should be used in the spring, when the root system of the weeds is not yet sufficiently developed. During the summer season, it is advisable to weed the lawn by hand.
According to experts, if the lawn is properly cared for all season, weeding will be minimized.
– The whole range of measures for the care of the lawn not only allows you to get a beautiful lawn, but also helps to fight weeds. If the lawn is dense, if the root system of lawn plants is developed and the lawn is a solid green carpet, the weeds will not be able to break through it, ”says Larisa Tisova. | agronomy |

The vegetable, which belongs to the livornese purple variety, owes its specific characteristics to the clay-rich soil with high salinity and the microclimate typical of the Venetian lagoon.
The vegetable is produced not only on this island, but also in Vignole and Mazzorbo, in the Cavallino-Treporti area, in some areas of the municipality of Chioggia and in the lagoon estuary area.
An ancient story
Our story’s protagonist was introduced into the city’s cuisine thanks to the Jewish community and has been living for centuries on the island of Sant’Erasmo, an area that has been dedicated to the cultivation of vegetables since the sixteenth century.
In the Italian peninsula, the artichoke has certainly been cultivated since the fifteenth century, initially in Naples before expanding into Tuscany and other areas with a mild climate.
In Venice in particular, the news of the existence of this crop is attested by the nineteenth-century records of the Austrian land registry.
But how does the artichoke of Sant’Erasmo differ from the rest?
Obviously the most evident feature of our vegetable is its intense purple colour. Depending on the different harvest periods, the flower heads produced by the same plant in the same year are called by different names in the local dialect: “castraura“, “botoi“, “sotobotoi” and “massette“.
The production cycle lasts about 90 days, from the first days of April to June, but in the preceding months, constant maintenance is required for cultivation of the vegetable. In fact, in autumn, the individual plants are earthed up, before eliminating the soil in the spring.
It takes constant work to produce this delicacy with a sweetly bitter taste that can be enjoyed in different forms: baked, grilled, boiled, in oil or with a vinaigrette… there are no limits to its use!

More than a third of the world’s land is currently dedicated to food production. Thus, how that land is used, managed impact levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, whether plants, insects, or animals can thrive, and if people have access to a nutritious diet. While the current food system has supported a fast-growing population and fuelled economic development, productivity gains have come at a cost.
Deforestation for agricultural land as well as livestock and soil management have amounted to the food industry being responsible for almost a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Meanwhile, mismanagement of fertilisers has caused eutrophication of waterways and chemical pesticide use has degraded the natural resources on which the food system depends. A circular economy for food can help people and nature thrive together. Changing the current food system to one based on the principles of the circular economy is one of the most powerful things that can be done to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss; while providing healthy nutritious food for all and ensuring that food never creates waste.
The current food system does not work for everyone, and it certainly does not work for the environment either. Industrial farming has turned agriculture into a leading source of greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, and is driving the extinction of species. Not only does the current food system produce food in a way that will not work in the long term, but it also wastes almost a third of it while nearly 10% of the world’s population go hungry. A circular economy for food means building the food system that actively supports and regenerates natural systems, brings production closer to where the food is eaten, and where appropriate eliminates waste, and designs healthier food products. | agronomy |

Whether simply roasted or lovingly mashed into a buttery casserole and topped with toasted miniature marshmallows, sweet potatoes, those Thanksgiving stalwarts, are a cook’s most trusted friend. As comforting and satisfying as those dishes may be, we must look beyond them to find the tuber’s true greatness.
With more than 7,500 acres in production, the Bayou State is America’s fourth-largest sweet potato producer and has a 200-year history with the vegetable. According to René Simon, the executive director of the Louisiana Sweet Potato Commission, growing sweet potatoes is more than just a business; it’s a passion. They are less profitable than many other crops to grow and more susceptible to the adverse weather conditions Louisiana experiences during its late-summer and early-fall harvests.
“Many of our sweet potato farmers have been at this for five generations,” says René. “Louisiana sweet potatoes have a deeper color and more sweetness than others on the market, and our growers are very particular about the products they sell. It’s part of our DNA.”
Since 2005, Louisiana Cookin’ and the Louisiana Sweet Potato Commission have challenged home cooks and chefs from around the country to take the sweet potatoes to the next level. Now thousands of recipes into the Sweet Rewards Recipe Contest, we have been constantly impressed by the preparations and flavor combinations that the contest has brought to the table.

After welcoming the first few days of spring with an unexpected snowstorm, we are finally starting to thaw out. And, what better way to usher in the change of seasons than some indoor gardening with kids! While I’m certainly no green thumb (I fully admit to having to replace succulents on a regular basis) and we have limited growing conditions as NYC apartment dwellers, there are still so many fun kids’ gardening-related activities that can be done indoors (or al fresco). We may not harvest a bushel of corn by the end, but Bash had a great time with these multi-sensory activities! Everyday since we initially planted our seeds, Bash has been excitedly talking about his seed and planting activities. We read our Seed to Plant book everyday and Bash enjoys watering and checking on his plants throughout the day to see if “they are getting bigger like me”, despite not seeing any action yet. Although some concepts were a little advanced for him, there was still a lot he was able to grasp. We plan to make this a seasonal activity; it’s perfect for kids of ALL ages.
- Packets of seeds: While at Home Depot, I let Bash choose a variety of seeds, so we’ll see which ones actually grow well in our limited NYC apartment conditions. In the past, we’ve typically had good luck with beans and jalepeno peppers, so I was sure to include those. He also selected corn, carrots, and cilantro to round out our 5 plants.
- Seed starter pots: I got a set of seed starter pots from our local Flying Tiger store (a Danish store that carries fun, seasonal gifts and products – think Ikea of tchotzkies), but these peat pots are similar. You can always upcycle toilet paper rolls, egg cartons, lemon rinds, or small plastic containers (here’s a link to some creative upcycled pot ideas).
- Soil: We used Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix
- Gardening tools: A shovel and rake are definitely more for play than actually necessary if starting indoors, especially at the initial stages before transferring the sprouted plant outside or to a larger pot. I got our set at Flying Tiger but here is another kid-friendly set from Melissa and Doug. A spray bottle (included in the Melissa and Doug set) is recommended for light daily watering.
- Books: Before we started our seed and gardening activities, we read several spring / plant-themed books. During the activities, we referenced National Geographic Kids Seed to Plant, which has great pictures and large text. Our other favorites include: The Tiny Seed, Planting a Rainbow, and Oh Say Can You Seed. We’ll be featuring these in an upcoming Sunday Shelfie book review post.
- Examining tools: Magnifying glass, tongs / tweezers for examining seeds up close and transferring activities.
- Craft sticks: Colorful wooden craft sticks to label and identify the plants.
- Tray: Any sort of white tray or surface will do. We used our dry erase board but if you plan to spend more time doing sorting or transferring activities with the seeds, a painter’s tray or ice cube tray would be better to contain the various seeds.
Indoor Gardening Activity Instructions
We spent about 2 hours playing with and planting our seeds. Depending on your child’s attention span, you can break up the activity into the following 5 parts. The fun part is that you can get as scientific and detailed as you want with these activities and do them year after year to expand your garden and introduce more complex topics. Bash kept asking why the planted seeds needed sun, but we definitely stopped short of photosynthesis, hahah! And we didn’t even cover the birds and the bees yet (ahhchooo…I’m talking about pollen transfer!), haha!
I. Where Do Fruits and Vegetables Come From
Bash had just woken up from his nap, so I wanted to incorporate a snack into this activity. Scrounging up whatever fruits and veggies we had lying around, I made a plate containing an avocado, strawberries, blueberries, bell peppers, and apples. On a separate tray, I added some dried beans and acorns to the mix to provide a little more seed variety.
As Bash enjoyed his snack, we talked about how some seeds are inside the fruit / vegetable (peppers, cucumbers), while others are on the outside (strawberries). Bash used his magnifying glass to look for the seeds and enjoyed comparing the big avocado pit to the tiny blueberry seeds. We also talked about which seeds are edible (blueberries), versus which seeds we avoid (watermelon) and which seeds we would need to cook (beans, lentils). Finally, we compared the dried seeds to the real fruit / vegetable. Bash really liked seeing the bell pepper and then comparing the fresh pepper and its seeds to the dried jalepeno pepper seeds (which were very similar). Had I been better prepared, it would have been nice to also have some fresh corn, cilantro, and carrots on hand to match our seed packets. Instead, we looked at pictures and I pulled out some of Bash’s wooden fruit / veggie toys.
To extend this activity, you could also have your child go on a pantry scavenger hunt and look for foods with seeds (beans, lentils, flax seeds, nuts, and other fruits and veggies).
II. Examining Seeds Using the 5 Senses
We first talked about our 5 senses: sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch and which body parts we use for each of these senses. Then we poured a few seeds from each packet (and some dried beans and acorns, which we didn’t plant) on to our white board for examination. We used our senses to describe the various colors, textures, smells (well, besides the cilantro / coriander, they didn’t really have a smell), shapes, and sizes of the seeds from our packets. To “listen” to the seeds, Bash liked shaking the remaining seeds in their packets – some were soft while the beans and corn seeds were much louder. We skipped “tasting” the seeds since we had just enjoyed the “fruits of their labor” during snack!
III. Plant Lifecycle
For this section, we referenced the Seed to Plant book to talk about how a seed grows and what a seed needs to develop into a plant. Specifically, we looked at pages 8 – 11 to show how the seed will sprout, grow roots under the soil, and shoot up a stem and leaves above the soil. For now, I think these concepts were a little over Bash’s head, but we plan to continue to refer to them as we watch our seedlings sprout.
Older kids might enjoy putting the lifecycle of a plant in the correct order to practice sequencing. Alternatively, you could have young Picassos draw pictures of a plant in its various stages of growth and / or sort the various parts of the plant (stem, flowers, leaves) into their various categories using real flowers or picture cards.
IV. Planting Seeds
Bash was super excited to get started planting…until his hands got covered in dirt (he’s kind of a neat freak; I guess he’s a true city boy!). We scooped the potting soil into each pot and I had Bash put a few of each of the 5 types of seeds into each pot, though I’m pretty sure he added about 25 carrot seeds to the tiny pot! We covered the seeds with about an inch more soil and were sure to label each pot before putting them in the windowsill. We also sprayed each with a little bit of water until the soil was well moisturized.
V. Daily Care
Everyday, we check our pots to see if there’s been any action. Bash loves using his spray bottle to give them water. We can’t wait to see what grows!
Bash enjoyed these indoor gardening activities so much that we’ve been continuing our “gardening” activities over the past couple of weeks and plan to continue well into spring.
- Conducting experiments with light levels, water frequency, and O2 levels: For this activity, we spent a new day planting additional seeds using our leftovers (Part IV). However, this time, we placed them in various spots around the apartment to see how low light vs. lots of sunlight impacts their germination. We also vary up how frequently we water the seeds and placed a couple of pots with lids over them to see how lower levels of air circulation impact their growth.
- Growing an avocado: Since we used an avocado as part of our examination of fruits and vegetables activity (Part I), we decided to try our hand at planting the pit. It is super easy and takes all of 5 minutes to get started! Just clean the pit, stick 4 toothpicks in the center, and place it halfway submerged in a glass jar of water.
- Sorting and identifying seeds: With the leftover seeds and packets (or pictures of the corresponding plant), have your child take their best guess at matching the seed to the plant. For younger kids, you can use the leftover seeds for various sorting and fine motor skills activities.
- Visiting a farmers’ market or botanical gardens: We love visiting our local farmers’ markets (here’s a link to various GreenMarkets in NYC) to check out the fresh produce. We are also members at the New York Botanical Garden, which has terrific kids’ programming and drop-in projects at the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden. We also enjoy an annual day-trip out to Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture, usually for the Sheep Shearing Festival.
- Painting pots: Last year, at Bash’s Poppyseed Mommy and Me class, he painted a pot and planted a very robust string bean plant for mother’s day. If our seedlings turn out, we plan to transfer them to larger pots. For a more artistic activity, I’ll have Bash paint the pots before we transfer the plants to their new homes. | agronomy |

Roughly half of its population depends on agriculture for its livelihood, and the country has the second largest arable land area in the world. As a lead producer of products like rice, wheat, cotton, sugar, and dairy, India’s agricultural system is essential not only to itself, but also to the rest of the world.
However, India’s agriculture system is facing serious challenges. More efficient crop yield is necessary to continue feeding India’s 1.4 billion people. Climate change disrupts our agricultural systems, and at the same time, unsustainable farming practices exacerbate climate change through significant greenhouse gas emissions, water usage and deforestation. Without change, food and environmental systems across the world are at risk.
Two teams at Google, AnthroKrishi and Google Partner Innovation, are leveraging AI to tackle this challenge, aligned with Google’s AI Principles. The teams’ goal is to progress agricultural sustainability, beginning with India. The team is working on a whole body of AI-powered technologies to organize and utilize India’s agricultural data, the most foundational of which is developing a unified “landscape understanding.”
Landscape understanding leverages satellite imagery and machine learning to draw boundaries between fields, the basic unit of agriculture and essential in creating meaningful insights. With field segments established, the model can determine the acreage of farm fields, forest and woodland areas, and can identify irrigation structures like farm wells and dug ponds to build tools for drought preparedness. | agronomy |

There are several reasons why hydrangea seeds do not germinate. Here we want to help you understand this issue because growing quality hydrangeas is the mission of our company.
It is also worth mentioning that like any business we are always looking for new ways to develop. One of these ways is growing and breeding hydrangeas. We hope that in the near future we will be able to offer you new interesting varieties and their seeds.
Choose right varieties of hydrangea (Quick Fire Hydrangea and Pinky Winky Hydrangea)
Yes, it is. The reason the seeds don’t germinate may be due to the characteristics of one variety or another. There are many different hydrangeaess on the market and they all have different germination times.
For example, there is hydrangea that germinates within 10 days of sowing. But it may also germinate a little later than is commonly thought (15 days).
The second type is a hydrangea of medium duration of germination. If you sow this type of hydrangea, you should expect the first green in 20 days, and sometimes longer.
Well at the end there are seeds that lie in the ground for a very long time and that they have to germinate must pass about a month. This is not a problem, just the peculiarities of the variety.
But if sprouts do not appear in a month, the reason is not in the hydrangea and you should consider other situations when this may happen.
The weather must be warm but not hot
Weather is the next important factor in hydrangea growth. If you sow in the spring, the hydrangea will not necessarily grow. At this time it is often quite cold and the seeds will lie in wait for the right air temperature.
A suitable temperature would be at least 55 F. In addition, this temperature should last at least a week. If there is a slight cold snap during this time, germination will be delayed.
The same applies to very high temperatures. In the summer heat, the seeds will not feel comfortable and will lie dormant until better conditions arrive. The same can be said about hydrangea seeds.
From all this, we can conclude that the best time to sow is April to May. It can also be done at other times of the year, for example in August, but you need to have the experience to do it right.
Irrigation should be done properly
Water is the most important condition for the germination of any seed. When seeds fall to the ground they begin to absorb water and swell, and only then a young sprout appears.
If there is not enough water, the seeds will wait for the rains to come.
To speed up germination, you need to keep the surface constantly moist. But don’t flood the garden. Too much water will cause the seeds to rot.
Also, don’t water too hard, you can just blow the seeds away. The same goes for rain. Heavy rain can push the seeds a long way from where you planted them. In this case, there is nothing you can do and you will have to sow again.
Seeds need sun
Many gardeners often sow hydrangea seed under large trees such as maples or magnolias. But this can be a problem because hydrangea needs light to germinate and dense tree canopies filter light.
You have to give the hydrangea at least 4 hours of sunlight to germinate. It doesn’t have to be the direct sun, diffused light is fine too. But hydrangea will not grow in full shade.
An excess of light works just as well as a lack of light. If you sow hydrangea in a sunny spot it might take quite a while to germinate, since the sun will dry out the surface quickly and the seeds will lack water.
Also, strong direct sun can burn the young hydrangea seedlings. So do not sow hydrangea in the middle of summer when the sun is shining with maximum intensity.
Soil also matters
And the last condition is the ground. In heavy clay soil the seeds will take longer to germinate because it will be more difficult for them to penetrate deep and create a root system. There is nothing you can do about this, you just have to remember that it will take longer than usual to germinate in such soil.
The opposite is true for sandy soils. It is easy for hydrangea to put roots through the sand. But this kind of soil has a disadvantage, namely water almost does not hold in it. As a result, the seeds will suffer from lack of water. To improve the situation, you need to water the hydrangea regularly.
Another factor is the acidity of the soil. In highly acidic or highly alkaline soil, the hydrangea will not grow. So before sowing, check the pH of your soil and if it is higher than pH 8 or lower than pH 5, you need to improve it. | agronomy |

Plants need light to grow and develop well and having a farm or greenhouse located in light deprived area will truly affect the growth of your plants. Different weather patterns and seasons such as winter also affect how much light your plants get and ultimately how they grow. That is why there are grow light that has been developed to help in places where there is not enough sunlight for healthy growth of plants. This article speaks about some of the incredible advantages of having grow lights.
The sun provides light to the universe and for plant growth only during the day which at times is not enough for the required growth rate. This means that your plants are restricted to receive light at a particular time . Having grow light provides you with an opportunity to provide maximum light to your plants any time of the day or night. Even those who have a small piece of land located somewhere light is not sufficient for the growth of plants, with grow light you could erect a greenhouse and plant whatever it is that you prefer and still have produce.
As grow lights are installed at your greenhouse at a specific position depending on the amount of light needed and the number of plants, you are able to regulate the amount of light the plants receive at specific times of the day. Grow lights are a great way to regulate how much light is sufficient for the plants as it gets quite hard to tell how much natural light or sunlight is enough or too much for the plants.
Plants need warmth too and during night and cloudy days there needs to be light to be able to provide it. With the grow light, you do not need to install other light units to keep the place lit as they serve both purposes. Having grow lights to play both roles is very efficient and cost-effective as they are bright enough to light quite a large surface area of plant cover. In heat production, you do not have to worry about how much heat the grow light produce as they are mechanized to produce just enough and not to overheat in the process and this way you are able to control the amount of heat and warmth the plants receive.
Compared to fluorescent lighting of greenhouses grow lights are known to produce no noise. The noiseless environment is the best type of environment for any gardener to work at and do the best of work. Grow lights do not require a lot of maintenance works and costs of operation. | agronomy |

It is suitable for various uses: it is mainly used to irrigate gardens or vegetable plots, even large ones. Well pumps can also be used to draw off accumulated rainwater, but this is not their main purpose.
The submersible electric pump pushes water from a well of varying depth, and can handle a higher or lower water flow rate depending on the model.
Depending on the model, water can be pumped from a well with the water almost at the surface, or from a deep well (such as boreholes).
It is also possible to pump water up to more than 300 metres. Various models are available depending on the characteristics of the well, the desired flow rate, and the water use.
The well pump can be placed either inside the cavity or immersed in the water.
Attention must be paid to the diameter of the well, which of course, must be larger than that of the pump. Conventionally, submersible pumps are classified by the width of the well in inches. So 4" pumps are not really 4", but are suitable for fitting into a 4" well. | agronomy |

In precision agriculture, “Internet of Things” devices, global positioning and new technologies are used. Their job is to measure and respond.
With this, we might be able to tackle the challenges of the future in enhancing how we produce and manage food.
As the global population is set out to increase, the total food requirements are likely to follow. The growth estimate for farming lies at 70% by 2050.
The main drivers are the population growth and the rise of average calorie intake. The increase of average calorie consumption lies at 10% (2010–2050).
A big challenge for the agriculture industry these days is the low profitability and industry attractiveness. This causes a shrinking number of experts, on whom the traditional agriculture depends on.
The cultivation of grains and vegetables suffer from inefficiencies in farming. One of the main causes is a of information and predictability. This leads to a loss of product, waste in irrigation, fertilizing, and pest control. With fewer experts in the field, results become more reliant on the skills. The environmental impact caused by the use of consumables and resources to be considered and minimized.
The keeping of livestock aims to realize yields in milk, wool, eggs, and meat. Specific challenges are the overview of livestock health. Otherwise, the spreading of diseases and lower fertility are possible results. Also, the strain on livestock needs to minimized for best yield and low mortality.
High Yield Risk
A general risk are the long periods between seed and harvest or birth and slaughter. During this time price fluctuations for the product are likely to occur. With the resulting uncertainty the future payout and profit is subject to risk.
If, at the time of sale, the price for cattle is lower than expected, the farmer is subject to a lower margin. The planning accuracy suffers from incomplete information and uncertainty.
Farming accuracy is the result of the use of connected devices and new technologies. Benefits include:
Higher planning accuracy
This leaves a higher profitability for agriculture, increases industry attractiveness, and provides tools to better handle future challenges.Grains, Fruit & Vegetables
Scouting of land is an important factor in success in agriculture. For example, farmers need to think about how to position crops, how to rotate, when to seed and harvest. During growing season, scouting helps to coordinate fertilizing, irrigation, weed and pest control.
Satellite, plane or drone-based imaging technologies use visual scanning: Satellite imaging gives an image resolution of 0.5–10m. Drones, or “RPAS” (remotely piloted aerial systems) deliver up to 2–10cm image resolution.
The cameras deliver imaging in thermal, infrared and visible spectrum. Steve blank’s post about practical use of hyper spectral cameras and customer value is a great example.
A high scanning speed of up to 1000 acres/h makes RPAS suitable for large scale agriculture. They can gather data on moisture level, weeds and chlorophyll content in plants.
In-ground sensors can be installed at fixed locations or they can be attached to vehicles. Typical vehicles include smart tractors or “agri-bots” (ground based unmanned vehicles). Soil sensors can detect electrical conductivity, moisture, radiometric, and pH data. Fixed sensor installations can also include acoustic technology to monitor for larger pests.
The data pool can include more data sources such weather forecasts and climate data. An added benefit can come from interlinking data pools, for example, between neighbouring farms and with farming equipment providers.
During seeding, the effectiveness of seeds can be enhanced with precise placement. The necessary field and soil analytics and can come from autonomous or guided agri-bots.
During cultivation, lower manual labour effort can come from remote controlled and automated equipment. Modern farm equipment can also feature maintenance prediction to reduce the inspection effort.
An excellent fuel economy comes from guided tractors that are able to choose the most efficient routing. Also, the field monitoring ensures that tractors are only deployed when needed. With these techniques, one tractor manufacturer reported a decrease of 40% fuel consumption.
The reduction of water, pesticides and fertilizer consumption has an immediate impact. First, on the profitability, and second, on the environmental strain. Information about moisture level and weather predictions by zones are gathered. | agronomy |

Marcelle’s recommendations for Crinum culture are simple.
- Keep them well fed with barnyard fertilizer in the fall and commercial fertilizer like 13-13-13 or 10-20-10 in the spring.
- Keep them well watered
- Keep the pH close to 6.0
- Provide at least 6 hours of sunlight per day
- Mulch them well with bark mulch, pine needles or any other mulch available in your area
- Lift, divide and rework beds when they get crowded
Despite these simple recommendations, Marcelle does recommend well composted manure as the fertilizer of choice. And she reports that Crinum will grow in many locations in Texas zones 8 and 9 if they have sun, regular water, and fertilizer. Half-day sun or full-day sun are appropriate.
Crinum benefit from occasional thinning, especially those that multiply rapidly. J. C. Harvey, which increases very rapidly can be planted deeper than you might plant other bulbs, such deep planting seems to slow multiplication and the plant concentrates more on blooming. In East Texas, Crinum growers recommend digging the plants every 7 years, and reworking the depleted soil.
Marcelle recommends transplanting Crinum in summer or early fall, no later than October in order to give them time to get established again before winter. Plants moved in spring often lose blooms for the year. In fact, some Crinum will not bloom for 2 years after moving, no matter how careful you are.
To transplant the tropical crinums, dig around the plant and expose the area around the pups and cut them loose from the mother plant. You can then leave the mother plant where it is. This approach leaves the mother plant healthy and ready to bloom, hardly disturbed at all.
Average drainage is required for most Crinum that can be grown outdoors in East Texas. Thus, if you can grow roses, or fruit trees, or most shrubs, you probably have good enough drainage. If the soil is too sandy the plants may not thrive, and humus should be added.
Some of the aquatic Crinum will grow with some standing water, such as a ditch that gets flooded in rains, or perhaps at the edge of a pond, or even in the boggy soil surrounding the pond. Aquatic Crinum can be grown in containers without extra standing water, but flowering results will vary. C. americanum seems to require winter flooding in order to bloom well. Marcelle has grown almost all of the Crinum listed in this Web site, in backyard garden conditions near Beaumont, TX. Most of the plants described herein will do well under similar conditions, and perhaps colder conditions as well.
There are many Crinum species that derive from desert areas, or areas that are arid for part of the year. Dr. David J. Lehmiller has written an excellent summary of how to grow Crinum that require some drought conditions. "Cultivation of African Crinum in Pots and Tubs," permission to reproduce the article has kindly been provided by the International Bulb Society, an organization devoted to the enjoyment and cultivation of bulbs. | agronomy |

Researchers found microgreens like red cabbage, cilantro, and radish contain up to 40 times higher levels of vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Microgreens are young seedlings of edible vegetables and herbs harvested less than 14 days after germination Also known as “vegetable confetti,” microgreens are sometimes confused with sprouts — germinated seeds that are eaten root, seed and shoot. Microgreens, however, include a variety of edible immature greens, harvested with scissors less than a month after germination, when the plants are up to 2 inches tall.

March 31, 2016, Washington, D.C.—The International Food Policy Research Institute today released its flagship publication, the 2016 Global Food Policy Report, which provides an in-depth look at major food policy developments and events in the past year, and examines key challenges and opportunities for the coming year.
Today’s global food system has major weaknesses: nearly 800 million people are left hungry, one-third of the human race is malnourished, over half of some crops never make it to the table, and the planet is ravaged from environmentally unfriendly agricultural practices. As the global population is expected to soar exponentially in the coming years, we must examine ways to feed more people efficiently and sustainably, while combatting climate change.
“The Sustainable Development Goals task us all with the challenge of eradicating hunger and undernutrition in 15 years or less,” said IFPRI Director General Shenggen Fan. “This report shows that if we are to meet these goals, we have a lot of work ahead. We must promote and support a new global food system that is efficient, inclusive, climate-smart, sustainable, nutrition- and health-driven, and business-friendly in order to ensure that no one goes to sleep hungry.”
This year’s report takes a look at the latest research on opportunities and challenges the world will face in achieving multiple SDGs. The report includes chapters on climate change and smallholder farmers, sustainable diets, food loss and waste, and water management.
Climate Change & Smallholder Farmers
Evidence is strong that climate change will continue to have negative impacts on agriculture. Every year, 12 million hectares of land is degraded due to drought and desertification—that’s roughly the size of Nicaragua, the largest country in Central America. This is especially detrimental to smallholders, such as the 200 million smallholder farmers in Africa south of the Sahara who tend drylands. Conversely, the global food system accounts for one-fifth of all greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The development of climate-ready crops, which can lead to more efficient water use and improve yields, are key to feeding a growing population and adapting and mitigating against climate change.
Worldwide, the number of overweight people is two-and-a-half times larger than the number of undernourished people. Urbanization, increasing incomes, and higher demand for animal protein is changing diets in developing countries. Beef consumption, for example, is growing, and is one of the most resource-intensive and environmentally impactful foods to produce. Beef production requires four times more land (and four times as much greenhouse gas emissions) than dairy for every unit of protein consumed. Additionally, beef is seven times more resource-intensive than pork and poultry, and 20 times more than pulses.
In 2009, adding one American to the global population would have required an additional hectare of land, which is as big as the maximum size of a World Cup football field with more than 1,700 additional square meters to spare. It would also pump out an additional 16.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent each year—or the greenhouse gas equivalent of driving from New York to Los Angeles and back seven times.
Food Loss and Waste
Measuring food loss and waste is difficult but most studies estimate that between 27-32 percent of food produced never makes it to the table. This number is even higher for foods that are particularly susceptible to loss and waste such as fruits and vegetables. Food loss and waste occur differently in developed and developing countries. In developing countries, most food is lost at the production level—investments in infrastructure, transportation, and packing industries is key. In developed countries, most food is wasted at the retail and consumer level. Here, consumers need to be educated about food availability and appearance to reduce food waste.
Women are less prepared to overcome climate change than men. A study in Mali found that for men, access to irrigation allowed them to increase production nearly enough to offset climate shocks. This is not the case for women. According to the FAO, women with equal access to resources can increase yields by almost 30 percent and reduce the number of undernourished people by 17 percent. Removing those inequalities could reduce the number of undernourished people by up to 150 million.
Today, 85 percent of global water use goes to agricultural irrigation. Innovations such as climate-ready crops can greatly reduce this amount. Rice is the staple food of more than half of the world’s population and C4 rice, for example, can double water use efficiency and increase yields by almost 50 percent. Unless significant changes are made in global water consumption, most people will live under severe water shortage conditions by 2050.

By Larraine Roulston
During WWI, Canadian residents were encouraged to utilize their yards to grow Victory Gardens. During our current lockdown, more people than ever are turning towards creating home veggie gardens. As current agricultural practices are also a concern, growing one’s own food Is an investment towards a healthier future.
While seeds grow, The Compost Council of Canada points out that “Compost’s role in the soil health story does not stop with fertility. Studies have shown that compost can be instrumental in raising disease resistance in soils, reducing the need for pesticides. Plants have immune systems that are very dependent on partnerships with microbes.”
Seedlings that contain organic compost, will continue to thrive. A handful of rich soil will hold a trillion microscopic creatures. The Rodale Book of Composting quotes, “By far the most important microscopic decomposers are bacteria, which do the lion’s share of decomposition in the compost heap.”
Fertile soil is created by a community of tiny decomposers. E. O. Wilson referred to insects as, “The little things that run the world.” In a compost heap you will find, ants, ground beetles, millipedes, sow bugs, spiders, springtails and worms. The following living creatures convert organic matter into compost:
Ants feed on a variety of things but will only remain if the heap is relatively cool. They have been contributed to making the compost even richer by moving materials into different areas.
Ground Beetles lurk in litter and soil spaces. Most of them feed on the organisms, but some nibble seeds and other vegetable matter.
Millipedes break down plant material by feeding directly on it
Sow bugs feed on rotting woody materials and highly durable tissues such as ligneous leaf veins.
Spiders contribute by feeding on insects and tiny invertebrates. They also help control garden pests.
Springtails are principally fungi feeders, though they eat nematodes and small bits of organic debris.
Worms are the champion recyclers. They have a brain and five pairs of hearts. An earthworm can produce its own weight in soil every 24 hours by eating and digesting material. The red wiggler worms are those used in vermicomposting but they will also thrive in a backyard composter.
During the 1980’s to help promote backyard composting, Joan Gilmour pended ‘The Compost Song’ sung to the tune of The Hokey Pokey. I thank Joan for allowing her ditty to be included in my books.
You put your wet greens in,
You spread your dry browns out,
You add a little water and you stir it all about.
You invite in all your bug friends
To have a two month feast,
Then shovel your compost out!

https://practicallylivinggreen.com/japans-early-cherry-blossom-bloom/ | 2024-02-21T21:26:06 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473558.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221202132-20240221232132-00448.warc.gz | 0.958238 | 680 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__193325213 | en | For centuries, Japan has celebrated the Cherry Blossom season. However, this year marks the second earliest blooming event in 1,200 years, which showcases the effect climate change is having on our world.
And it’s not just Japan that loves these trees, you can also find them at the Tidal Basin in Washington D.C.
For those who are unfamiliar with cherry blossoms, these are flowers that have a very short window before they reach the peak. In fact, they typically only last for a week before they begin falling out of the tree.
However, for years, they have been blooming earlier and earlier. And in 2021, they entered full bloom on March 21st.
When Does A Cherry Blossom Normally Bloom?
While the date has never been set in stone, the normal period for the nearly 1,200 years has been between April 10th and April 20th. Yet, during the twentieth century, the famous tree has been blooming earlier.
The plants will normally bloom during spring after the temperature warms up. However, this year, while the winter was very cold, the spring was unusually warm. This caused the tree to bloom almost a month earlier than normal.
And unfortunately, its not just tourists that this will affect; it’s nature itself.
What Does An Early Bloom Affect?
So I know what your thinking, what’s the big deal about an early bloom?
Well, it actually affects everything and this is not an exaggeration. Plants and animals rely on each other to tell what time of the year it is. This will actually help each one determine what stage in life they are at.
For instance, if plants and flowers are blooming, then the insects that pollinate them assume it is time to come out of hibernation. However, if they bloom too early there might not be any insects that are ready for pollination.
This can throw off their life cycles completely.
Eventually, they could be completely out of sync. And this is the worst-case scenario. You could have insects that come out of hibernation, but then have no plants to pollinate and get food from. As a result, they will starve to death.
On the flipside, without any insects to spread the plants seeds, the plants will die out over time.
And yes, this also affects mammals.
This Won’t Just Affect Wild Plants
Unfortunately, this early blooming is not just something that will affect wild plants, it will affect crops and have an economical impact.
In fact, it’s no secret that our food security is in jeopardy. In 2019, a report found that not only will food be scarce, but it will also be less nutritious as a result of climate change.
This will be the result of higher temperatures and frequent flooding.
To compensate for the changing climate, farmers will have to adjust the types of crops they grow, which will disrupt the food supply infrastructure of the world. This will also lead to higher prices for crops in general.
And if we don’t meet the Paris Agreements goal by 2050, these conditions will only worsen.
Robert has been following and writing about environmental stories for years at GreenGeeks. He believes that highlighting environmentally friendly practices can help promote change in every household. | agronomy |

The growth of the vertical farming market is primarily attributed to high yield and numerous other benefits associated with vertical farming over conventional farming, advancements in light-emitting diode (LED) technology, year-round crop production irrespective of weather conditions, and requirement of minimum resources.
Factors such as positive impacts of adopting vertical farming on the environment, potential market opportunities in APAC and the Middle East, and cannabis cultivation through vertical farming are expected to create growth opportunities for the market.

Hydroponics growth mechanism segment of the vertical farming market projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The hydroponics growth mechanism is used widely by commercial growers. This mechanism is easier to set up, costs less than other mechanisms, and has a higher return on investments (ROI). Comparing the investment required to set up a hydroponics and aeroponics facility of the same size, aeroponic requires a high initial investment. In case of a power outage, in the hydroponic mechanism, the plants can survive for a long time since the growing medium continues to supply water and nutrients, unlike aeroponics, where the plants can die in just a few hours due to malfunctioning or failure of mist spraying nozzles.
Among structure, the building-based vertical farm segment projected to hold a larger share of the vertical farming market during the forecast period.
Building-based vertical farms generate better per square foot revenue than shipping container-based vertical farms, as building-based vertical farms incur lesser capital as well as operating expenses (for same area). The market for shipping container-based vertical farms is likely to register a higher CAGR as it is a ready-to-use (plug and play model) solution that can help to cater to the rising demand for fresh and high-quality produce. Shipping container-based vertical farms are flexible, easy to operate, and portable.
The vertical farming market in APAC is projected to hold the largest share in 2025.
Companies from other regions are investing in APAC countries to establish vertical farms. For instance, in 2018, Plenty (US), a vertical farming company, announced its plan of building 300 vertical farms across China. Vertical farms in the region are also backed by advanced technologies such as LED technology that assists the crops cultivated with photosynthesis by providing the right intensity of light. Everlight Electronics (Taiwan) is a manufacturer of LEDs for vertical farming. Vertical farms have also entered into partnerships with agriculture technology providers to enhance the productivity of their farms. Asahi Techno (Japan) uses Illumitex’s (US) LED solutions to enhance the growth process of the crops. Such investments and partnerships are expected to catalyze the growth of the vertical farming market in the region.

Origin: Auvergne, France
The Sweet Chestnut is an ancient tree originally from minor Asia. Evidence indicates that it has been cultivated by man even far before Christ because of its many uses. The fruit being the most known part of the tree, the leaves also possesses valuable qualities.
Use and advices:
Infuse 1-2 tablespoons of dried leaves per teacup and let them steep in 70-80ºC water for about 8 minutes before enjoying. We always recommend drinking herbal infusions in slow sips.
1-3 cups / day
- Within normal consumption there are no known contraindications.
Sweet Chestnut leaves are harvested in the spring since it’s the young leaves that are the most interesting to collect. Harvest on a dry and warm day, and always in clean areas. As with all wild harvesting, make certain of your identification of the tree prior to collecting and consuming.
The availability of the plants that we propose can vary during the year, as nature itself changes with the season, and our stock. If you require large quantities, please contact us in advance. | agronomy |

While I try to grow most things, I do have to buy some vegetables and fruits. Whole Foods and Sprouts are great, but they are sometimes over priced and do not always have locally grown foods.
Here are more pictures from my home garden.
One way to reduce our carbon footprint is to buy from local farms, hence reducing the resources spent on transportation, storage, preserving, etc.. This also supports our local economy and increases our self sustenance. Besides, locally grown food is relatively fresh as it is mostly plucked after ripening on the tree. Foods shipped from farther away are sometimes picked before maturity, artifically ripened or in the case of picking after maturity, a lot of resources are spent on storing/ preserving them and keeping them from rotting.
In addition, several local farms grown organically. I know “organic” has become a debated term, so I will say that they are pesticide/ insecticide free. They may or not be from Genetically Modified seeds (GMO). They are also, usually, free of chemical fertilizers.
Well, so why am I going on and on? Getting to the point now – If you would like to buy local, here’s a great website that lists where to go. For those of us in Arizona: http://pickyourown.org/AZ.htm
They are missing one really cool one: http://farmstandagritopia.blogspot.com/

The survey was included in our audit for compliance with requirements of the Current Use Agriculture tax benefit program offered by the State of Washington to keep farmland in production. The audit covered all Current Use Ag participants in the Sedro Wooley School District and concluded May 31, 2019. Although not part of the audit area, the survey was also mailed to program participants in the Concrete School District since elk intrusion is known to impact farmland there as well.
Only three questions were asked of Current Use Agriculture program participants as shown below.
1.Have you received damage to your property, fencing, livestock feed or crops as a result of elk intrusion?
2.Describe the nature of the damage caused by elk.
3.Provide an estimate of annual costs associated with elk intrusion.
We received 140 survey responses from the affected area as of May 31 and are reporting the findings as a conclusion to the survey even though some responses may filter in after this date. Below is the essential data reported from the survey.
•107 responses (76.43%) reported elk intrusion damage impacting 5,182 acres in East Skagit County.
•The most reported was fencing and crop damage. In some cases the damaged fences allowed livestock to escape and many reported damaged hay bales, tree damage and hoof rot concerns. Some major farmers from West Skagit County reported to have discontinued leasing farmland in East County due to elk intrusion. Vehicle collisions with elk was also a significant concern.
•79 of the responses reported an annual damage cost estimate and 28 did not provide an estimate. For those that did provide an estimate, the average annual cost was $12,662 with a high of $150,000. Twenty responses provided a range of cost but this report includes only the low end of that range.
•Applying the average cost estimate to those not providing an estimate results in a total estimated, annual cost of $1,418,106 to Current Use farmland in East Skagit County due to elk intrusion.
•We have created a map showing East County parcels reporting elk intrusion available through this link.

In my view the statement is multi-faceted:
- No – to Monsanto’s super toxic pesticide
- No – to its water and soil polluting effects
- No – to its ‘non-GM’ crop destroying effects
- No – to Monsanto’s lab engineered seeds of corn, wheet, etc
- No – to Monsanto-induced farmer reliance on these GM seeds
I wonder if South Africa will ever consider such a step. Certainly, it seems an open, honest and balanced public debate on GM food is URGENTLY needed. | agronomy |

Led by the Odikro of the Community, Nana Agyenim Boateng who also praised the Municipal Chief Executive for Obuasi Municipal, Honorable Elijah Adansi-Bonah for playing a lead role in the implementation of the program.
At a short ceremony to distribute 15,000 Oil Palm Seedlings and 12,850 Citrus seedlings to registered farmers in the community on Thursday, 25th July, 2019 at Mameriwa No. 2, the Municipal Chief Executive for Obuasi Municipal, Honorable Elijah Adansi-Bonah said the Government is committed to improving Agriculture hence the introduction of Planting for Export and Rural Development program which is also a subsidiary of the Planting for Food and Jobs program.
He said as a proud beneficiary of the PERD program, the Assembly settled on growing Oil Palm and Citrus seedlings after a painstaking deliberation with key stakeholders in the Agricultural sector.
The Obuasi MCE said he was overwhelmed about the number of people who have registered for the seedlings and the number of seedlings prepared to be distributed. He said Obuasi is predominantly a mining community with the majority of its citizens into mining and commerce with only 25% of the population into farming. Nonetheless, He said the Assembly is targeting 30,000 seedlings to take care of the increasing number of applicants.
He encouraged more women and youth to go into Agriculture since it is the mainstay of Ghana’s economy.
Honorable Adansi-Bonah reiterated the fact that there is available market for the farmers through the One District One Factory program with Oil Palm and Citrus factories expected to start operations in Obuasi very soon.
The Municipal Director of Agric, Mr. Augustie Antwi advised beneficiaries of the seedlings not to waste time but to start growing them and also seek the help of extension officers throughout the process.
He said the Assembly through the Agric department is committed to assist farmers into the Municipality so they have to contact the Agric office when they need any assistance.
The PERD program was launched by the President, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo on Tuesday, 23rd April, 2019.The objective of the program is to create a sustainable raw material base for farmers across the country to increase Ghana’s revenue into the exportation of Agricultural products. | agronomy |

For the Minnesota dandelia lover, a new dandelial garden has arrived in Walnut Falls, where it is now in full bloom.
In the spring, Walnut and surrounding lakes were awash in a massive amount of dandelials, from dandelias, dandeliums and dandelicums.
This is the year when dandelons and dahlias bloomed together.
Walnut’s dandelalors are so popular that the grocery store has been turning away shoppers who aren’t fans of the flower’s bitter, sweet taste.
The dandeliloid seeds have a long history of making dandelies, which is why many of the dandelals grown here are genetically modified to grow with a dandeliant.
In Minnesota, dalmatians are the largest population of dallation seed stock in the country.
Walnuts are the most popular crop in the state.
It is a lot of dalmats.
But they are also the most challenging to grow because they are native to North America.
Dandelion seed can be tricky to work with.
Dandelion seeds are easy to germinate.
There is no need to get your hands dirty, as you can just pull out the seed pods, drop them into a bucket of water and let them grow on the ground.
They are so easy to get seeds out of that you often find that the seedlings grow in small clusters or can easily be picked off.
The seeds will germinated from seed.
You need a container, or some kind of container with a lid.
So you need to put some seeds in there.
Then you can start to plant dandelitions, which means that you have to put them in a container.
You have to keep them in the container because that will help them to germination.
If you do plant them in containers, you need something to hold the seed.
This can be a plastic cup or a piece of plastic.
That will help to prevent any soil contamination.
So that’s how you can work with these seeds, which are very, very hard to work in a pot.
You can germinating dandelios are the only plants that can be transplanted.
It takes about one year for dalmatic seeds to germine, but then you have some of the best dalmines.
And that’s because the seeds have been genetically modified so that they grow in the soil.
It doesn’t matter how well they germinates, they will die when they get to the soil because the soil is too salty.
So the best seedlings will survive, but if you have a good seed, you can plant the seeds into the soil for years and years.
That’s how dandelional seeds grow in Minnesota.
The dandeliolae can also be a source of food for people who don’t like to eat them.
Because dandelones are such a versatile plant, they can be used in cooking, making dalikos and as a base for sautéing vegetables.
Daffodils also grow well in dandelio.
And dandeliacs can be grown in dalliance seed stock.
So there are so many different varieties of dandalions.
It’s not like you’re growing dandelii and dandalos or dandelians.
That is not the case.
It’s a good thing that people are starting to grow dandeliandas in Minnesota because they can provide a lot more nutrients than dandelibals.
Because they are so fast growing, they are good for things like grain, which has high nitrogen content, high phosphorus content and high protein content, which makes them very good for grain.
And they’re very good in the food processing industry, which uses dandelifers to make dandelier powder, which you can buy in the grocery stores and in the supermarkets in other parts of the country for people to use in cooking.
They’re great for making daffodil.
It makes the daffodor and daffalette.
I like daffolders.
They can be very strong.
Dafodils are very sweet and you can’t beat the taste of them.
Daffodilla is the name for a dafflower seed.
It was traditionally cultivated in China for its daffan nuts.
The name comes from the Chinese word for “sweet potato.”
Daffonias, or Chinese daffonios, are native in the United States.
Dandalias, which were first cultivated in the Middle East, are grown in the Mediterranean region.

However, it’s not in all the fields; it’s very sporadic.
Today was an interesting day as it started as a sunny, beautiful day. Mother Nature put a twist on things and teased us with what seemed like, a promising break in the clouds. Jared and I were in Omega spraying foliar nutrient test plots when the sky opened, spit on us and abruptly left. We got a few neat pictures in the process though. After finishing the plots, we scouted wheat fields and found brown wheat mites. However, it’s not in all the fields; it’s very sporadic. Some fields we found have a higher pressure in bird cherry oat aphids and others, a higher pressure in wheat mites. We encourage you to be out checking your fields for these critters.
We had a successful field day at the Winfield/CHS Answer Plot on Wednesday. The turn-out was great as we had about 25 farmers attend and followed up with a great lunch at Sniders. We had several knowledgeable speakers from our agronomy team here at Plains Partners as well as speakers with Winfield Solutions. Our goal was for our farmers to take home the solution behind the plant data and put that data toward their operation to maximize their yields and profit.
Some of the main focal points we concentrated on were the differences in wheat varieties when using low and high rates of nitrogen with Ascend (growth regulator) and no Ascend. We also looked at our seed treatment (Warden Cereals), which is an insecticide/fungicide that provides early season protection of seedlings against injury by insects and diseases.
In the Warden Cereals plot, we added Ascend, Zinc and also a micronutrient package. As we added each chemical to the plant, it was obvious how much more the plant had enhanced from the untreated check.
In the canola, we discussed the different varieties in the plot. We compared the differences in low and high rates of nitrogen which also determined the winter hardiness of the plant. We found that by using a higher rate of Nitrogen, more plants survived the winter which in turn, will give you a higher yield.
We also looked at the seed population in canola ranging from 200,000-600,000 seeds which would be 2-6 pounds/acre depending on variety.
At this time, we need to be scouting for aphids and other insects. We are excited about a new foliar insecticide with extended residual used for aphids coming out called Transform. If you are interested in this product, please contact the agronomy department.

The benefits of Core Aeration are tremendous. It gives your lawn a chance to breathe again, allowing more oxygen, nutrients, and water to be absorbed and spread out across your lawn.
This is why Core Aeration and overseeding go hand in hand.
The seeds drop into the plug holes and receive exponentially more amounts of nutrients, water, and oxygen. This allow the seeds to germinate faster and more efficiently providing a thicker lawn and better root systems. It also helps loosen up hard or compact lawns from foot or paw traffic.
When to Core Aerate?
The best times for Core Aeration in Iowa are in the spring and fall. To most people’s surprise, late summer/early fall is the best time for overseeding as the seeds germinate faster in the warm days and cool nights. It is also possible to seed in the spring, however, this is most often less successful.
Why Core Aerate and overseed?
It relieves soil compaction and helps prevent thatch build-up. Avoid using Spike machines as these tend to compact the lawn even more, look for the machines that actually bring up “plugs” that are around 3” deep and the size of your finger.
If an area of your yard is worse than the rest, run the machine over this area 2-3 times and then overseed. | agronomy |

The elements in our food, when broken down have been studied and named based on their nutritional values. We speak in terms of calories, fats, carbohydrates, sugars and then on to vitamins and nutrients.
Yet there is something else that we do not have a name for yet. A life force in fresh foods still growing in the earth. Something that slowly fades as it is picked from the tree or pulled from the ground. We currently have no set measurement for it yet.
A peach that has been canned or jarred may have the same calories as a fresh peach picked from a tree, yet the life force levels are very different.
In essence, we are all solar powered. As the sun reacts with the plants and trees through the soil of the earth, energy is transmuted into the plant in it’s entirety. We then take it in by eating or drinking it, or as a secondary source through consuming the animal that originally ate the fruit, vegetable, leaf, root or grain.
Yet we are dependent on the energy that comes full spectrum from Sunlight.
So if we are focusing on where the energy comes from, we can understand that in it’s natural state, is the harmonious balance of what our bodies need. That is if it is grown with clean water, in a clean air environment.
I believe because of the need to prepare food and keep it longer for storage and transporting, we have moved past a healthy way of doing things a little, and need to readjust. I also do not believe this is any ones fault. Only a normal evolution in a learning cycle. Yet now that we know there is a difference, it is our responsibility to fix it, without placing blame. Everyone together.
In essence, this means the fresher the food source, with the least amount of processing the better. Also to take into account the balance in the environment where the food is grown. Pesticides, over farming, unclean water, GMO’s, pollution and the general state of the surroundings all affect the potential of what grows.
The balance is always held, though sometimes unknowingly, in the consumer’s hand, literally. What is purchased creates the demand and actually shapes the market.
This summer I was traveling in Ramona, California and was treated to lunch at a Co-Op. They source many of their fruits and vegetables from local Organic growers. I was absolutely blown away by the taste of the carrots, lettuce and cucumber in my sandwich.
We hope to influence the market by shedding some light on the true information that scientists and researchers are finding regarding health and well-being.

Hay market trade remains slow; alfalfa prices remain mostly steady while grass
hay prices weaken. Current trades are mostly on previously contracted hay with
very few new sales reported. However, more hay moving on the roadways can be
seen across the state and out of state. Many conversations have revolved
where this market will be going. Most agree the market should stay steady and
perhaps soften a bit the closer we get to spring; that is assuming that winter
weather does not decide to come in and sit on us for 3-4 weeks. According to
U.S. Drought Monitor, abnormal dryness (D0) decreased slightly to 22 pct,
moderate drought (D1) decreased to 4 pct, and severe drought (D2) remained at 4
pct. If you have any extra hay to sell and/or need hay here in Kansas, use the
services of the Internet Hay Exchange: www.hayexchange.com/ks.php.

Non-woven tree planting cloth to play the role of:
woven fabric company1. Special polypropylene material can cause natural root-cutting effect and high transplant efficiency. After the planting, the root system extends outwards. After touching this unique material, it penetrates the surface of the bag and is ring-skinned so that the roots outside the bag do not grow thick and promote the formation of numerous fine roots in the bag. This is the effect of natural root cutting.
woven fabric company2. The plant grows as fast as it grows in the field. It does not form after the other container cultivation methods reach the root system after planting. It does not form packing, and water and nutrients can still be absorbed by the fine roots outside the bag. The upward transport from the xylem at the center of the root is the same as the effect of planting in the field, which is inferior to other containers.
woven fabric company3. Moisture permeates freely without water accumulation. The special materials of the root-control bag can make the water and nutrients penetrate freely, and no water will accumulate in the bag and cause root rot.
woven fabric company 4. The cost of transplantation is low and the transplant season is long. Because it does not require skilled workers to remove the root graft, ordinary workers can transplant and transplants are easy and cost-effective. As the earth ball is reduced by about 25% compared to the traditional ball of planted trees, the handling cost can be reduced by a lot. After harvesting, the planting bag It can be used as a packaged earth ball container. The soil ball is kept intact and the transplant survival rate is high. No additional packing is required to reduce the cost.
woven fabric company5. Carbohydrates accumulate in the bag and quickly recover after transplantation. Since the root has been peeled by the ring, the carbohydrates produced by the blade are transported from the phloem to the root, but they cannot be sent out of the bag. Carbohydrate nutrients accumulate in the root of the bag. | agronomy |

- Heals wounds and bones
A European plant, comfrey now grows in all temperate regions of the world. It thrives in moist marshy soils. It can be grown from seed in spring or by root division in autumn. The leaves and flowering tops are harvested in summer and dried for use. The root is pulled in autumn.
Comfrey contains allantoin, which helps repair damaged tissue. The herb has a significant anti-inflammatory action due to the rosmarinic acid. Research shows the pyrrolizidine alkaloids are highly toxic to the liver particularly when taken internally. It is still unclear whether the whole plant is toxic or just the roots. Samples from dried aerial parts have been shown to be completely absent of the alkaloids. The highest concentration is in the roots. | agronomy |

WHAT WE DO
It all started with a passion for something traditional in a non-traditional place – grape growing in horse country!
An inspired vision to work the rich fertile soil of the Kentucky Bluegrass in a county steeped with equine tradition, a tobacco and cattle farm gave way to what is now Equus Run Vineyards. The vision became reality in January 1998 with the combined efforts of friends and family.
The visionary in this story is owner Cynthia Bohn who, coincidentally, also serves as our vineyard manager, winemaker, distiller and captain of the team. As a 31-year veteran of IBM Corp., she had the opportunity to travel the world and sample many wonderful cuisines and wines. As the story goes, Cynthia was examining the business case studies of wine giants Mondavi and Gallo as part of continuing business education curriculum at the IBM Harvard Business Institute. As she researched numerous wineries in the region, her mind gave way to thoughts of her own winery in Woodford County, Kentucky.
Having grown up on a tobacco farm in Hart County, Cynthia is well-versed in “Farming 101” and learned the value of hard work from her parents. On any one day she may be repairing a motor, pruning or introducing tours. The winery and vineyard, surrounded by the meandering South Elkhorn Creek, boasts rich soils that were initially cattle fields with tobacco and hay crops. With the help of local farmers, the fields were cultivated and planted in vines.
Equus Run Vineyards is nestled on 38 acres in the heart of central Kentucky’s Bluegrass Region and was voted by CNN Travel as a Must See Hidden Treasure of the US. Amidst picturesque thoroughbred horse farms, historic stone fences and the quaint charm of Midway, KY, Equus Run is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic, try your luck at fishing, enjoy the golf putting green, stroll through the gardens or explore the scenic South Elkhorn Creek with kayaking. And recently a new craft distillery, Saddlestone Distillery, was launched in 2018 producing agave spirits and brandy on the same property.
Each summer, Equus Run offers music at the winery and showcases both national and local musicians in our stone terraced outdoor amphitheater stage. Starting each May the “Sunday Tunes in the Vines” series starts with free music each Sunday. We invite you to sip, stroll and simply enjoy our winery and distillery while visiting the “Horse Capital of the World.”
Our geography is fortunate to have 4 distinct seasons, plenty of rainfall, and rich soils.
Our geography is fortunate to have 4 distinct seasons, plenty of rainfall (sometimes too much!) and rich soils. Central Kentucky’s loamy soils and deep limestone shelves (which are also perfect for spirits making!) allow us to craft a wonderful selection of wines and spirits with character. The unique soil conditions of our property, having silt loam soil on top of limestone shelf-rock and clay, provides the vines with many natural minerals and nutrients, often eliminating the need for commercial fertilization. We have late frosts and early harvests—therefore a constant watch of the Weather Channel is a must!
Over 25 years of experience has been used to create our products with depth and complexity
For grape harvest, press and fermentation, we use traditional winemaking techniques and equipment. Our renovated tobacco barn winery holds many stainless steel fermentation tanks ranging from 500 to 2,600 gallons. Tobacco barns have natural cooling and ventilation, thus the winery stays a temperate 68 degrees and is perfect for the barrels aging in-house. And the winter is always chilly with the outside ambient temperature sometimes below freezing, providing natural cold stabilization for the wine to clarify. It’s harmony in working with Mother Nature!
Our wines are kept in separate lots throughout fermentation with particular yeast, barrel and stainless steel tank regimes. Once filtered and placed in the barrels or stainless tanks, we frequently test and wait for the perfect time to blend each wine selection. Our winemaker, Cynthia Bohn, blends many yeasts and vintages to create the wine style that is the signature of our various seasonal wine selections. Over twenty years of experience has been used to create our wines with depth and complexity.
HOW WE GOT TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY
Equus Run Vineyards Timeline
1998 – 2004
With novice eyes we bought an old tobacco farm and transformed it into a working vineyard and winery. Numerous friends and family helped to renovate many fences, barns and other buildings. Our horse farm neighbors provided much needed farm tools and equipment to work the soils and plant 8 acres of grapes. We started a small music series out on the lawn for 300 guests and opened our doors to tastings and bus tours.
Cynthia Bohn bought out the other two owners and refocused on “destination” marketing. Time was dedicated to many upgrades and rebranding the winery. New fencing, painted barns, a new color scheme, new logo, new website, new point of sale system, waterfall stream garden feature added, additional parking lots, and new roads refreshed the 10 year old agri-tourism business.
2004 – 2009
The music series grew in attendance and we built a terraced outdoor amphitheatre for 1400 guests. Our entertainment series included local music acts for Sunday Tunes, Shakespeare, ballet and national artist acts such as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Exile, Juice Newtown, Wynonna, etc. We opened the facility for hosting outdoor weddings, corporate events and renovated a tobacco barn into the Event Barn with a catering kitchen.
2014 – CURRENT
Building renovations and production expansions were needed along with a new distillery in 2018. Three acres of vines were reworked to make room for the tasting room garden expansion and tasting room patio addition. New tasting room décor, a 4-hole putting green, and 25 more trees and numerous flowering beds were installed throughout the property. Once again a new point of sale upgrade for mobility and a new website were completed to improve the customer experience. Shipping direct-to-consumer finally passed in Kentucky’s legislation! | agronomy |

Buy Labanese Camel Hash (AAAA)
Labanese Camel Hash ; Despite its illicit nature, the Lebanese have grown and harvested cannabis for many years and produce some of the best hash in the world. The majority of cannabis grown in Lebanon is grown in the Bekaa Valley, making use of the regions extremely fertile soil. The Bekaa Valley is the heart of Lebanese agriculture and the number one location for cannabis cultivation. Lebanese Hash comes in two distinct varieties: yellow and red. Some have argued
that the difference is a result of two separate strains, when in fact, yellow and red Lebanese Hash is actually produced with cannabis harvested at different stages in the growth cycle. Yellow Lebanese Hash is made from plants that have been harvested at an earlier stage of development. This produces a high that is more pronounced in cerebral effects.lebanese camel hash
Red Lebanese Camel Hash is produced using plants that are a little older and are said to contain higher amounts of the non-psychoactive compound Cannabinol (CBN) – resulting in a hash that producers more mild effects.
Once the cannabis plants are harvested, dried, and cured – the hash can then be produced. A silk screen is used to extract the resin produced by the cannabis plant, which is then stored until the end of Fall. At the start of Winter, the kief crystals are transferred from silk screens to cotton (or linen bags) and is then pressed – to create a soft, smooth brick of lebanese camel hash.

Forest service lands received straw, while private and other lands receive a seed mix and straw to promote ground cover plant growth on ash-covered lands. In total, 1,800 tons of straw will be applied during the 14-day operation. One quarter of the cost was paid by the City of Greeley and the U.S. Department of Agriculture funded the remainder. The Hewlett Gulch Fire was started by a camperâs alcohol stove, on May 14, at the saddle of a picturesque mountain ridge along the Hewlett Gulch Trail of Poudre Canyon, in the Roosevelt National Forest, 60 miles north of Denver. At itâs more than 400 firefighters were battling fires being pushed by 50 mph winds that helped blacken over 12-square-miles of dry ground cover, brush and trees. Many of the trees were already dead and tinder dry from beetle-kill. The water in the reservoir remains clean and clear, while downstream water flow has gone from famous Colorado clear water to nearly black flows of water heavily laden with ash, silt, and burnt debris that recent thunderstorms have already washed down from the mountainsides.

Systematic and Applied Acarology The present experiment was aimed at determining the influence of the grape erineum strain of Colomerus vitis GEM Acari: Finally, in heavy infestations the leaves curl, plant growth is retarded and yield is affected.
When only the primary bud can be fruitful, mite damage is far more severe than if the lateral buds are also capable of producing fertile shoots.
At the highest mite density, canes of Khalili Bovanat and Sahebi Uroomie displayed the most and the least shortening effects, respectively. The leaf curling strain colomsrus C. In the spring the mites move onto leaves as soon as they unfold and feed there, forming large colonies within the protective erineum. Very high densities of the erineum strain can occur before any economic impact is recorded.

No-Till Practice of Making and Amending Garden Beds
This Begninning Vegetable Gardening Workshop will teach us to stop thinking of making and amending garden beds by digging the amendments into the soil and consider science based practices of topping off the soil with compost and mulch to increase the life in the soil.
There is a misconception from conventional farming practices that we have to continually feed plants because plowing kills the life in the soils and fertilizes leach into the soil contaminating our waterways creating dead zones due to algae blooms. Every Plowing adds a surge of oxygen into the soil causing bacteria growth that consumes the carbon in the soil that gives a short term boost to plant growth, damaging plant health in the long run and forces the farmer to add more fertilizer creating a vicious cycle that keeps the soil lifeless, makes plants unhealthy, vulnerable to pest, and increases production cost. Our Land Grant Universities’ primary mission has been to study how to produce larger food and fiber crops, there was little research until recently into how to successfully grow on small farms and in home gardens.
Fortunately, the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, has done research into no-til farming and developed practices that are more productive and less costly than the “til and spill” practices of conventional agriculture. They worked with the concept of the Soil Food Web where we can work with nature instead of treating nature as an adversary.
This new paradigm teaches us to realize that we should feed the microorganisms and macro organisms” as they are the workers, literally, “in the field” who are feeding the roots of the plants, mining the minerals in the soil to make them available, doing the tilling, on a microscopic level, holding water in the soil for the plants, which in turn feeds them with root exudates. Our primary roll is to observe and learn.
After the harvest, we need to maintain an environment where microorganisms can thrive through all of the seasons and continue to increase the fertility of our garden beds and the health and abundance of our future crops.

Supima is the organization in charge of overseeing the distribution of American Pima cotton seed throughout the US.
When purchasing a set of sheets, consumers should always be looking for cotton products made from an extra-long staple cotton (commonly referred to as ELS cotton). The long fibers of ELS cotton make a stronger and more softer yarn, and, in turn, weave into a much stronger and softer fabric. Most high thread count sheets are made from ELS cotton because a long fiber is needed to make a very thin, yet strong, yarn.
Most cottons seen in today's marketplace are upland cotton, Pima (Supima) cotton and Egyptian cotton.
It's reasonable to assume that the lack of a "brand" (e.g. Pima cotton) means the cotton used to make the product is upland cotton. This is a shorter staple cotton and would lack the strength and consistency of the "branded" cottons. Pima cotton is a generic label (honoring the Pima Indians in the Southwest) given to any ELS cotton grown in any country from a particular type of long-staple cotton. The primary producers of Pima cotton are the U.S., Australia and Peru. Any of these producing countries can properly label their cotton: Pima.
Supima cotton is a brand name given to Pima cotton grown in the U.S. "Supima" is a licensed trademark of the Supima Association of America and exists to promote the brand. A product labeled Pima cotton might contain ELS cotton grown in the U.S. or elsewhere, but a product labeled Supima cotton must contain only ELS cotton grown in the U.S.
Egyptian cotton is a very tricky brand. It's obvious when you think about it, but any cotton grown in Egypt can rightly be labeled Egyptian cotton. Egypt is one of the largest producers of ELS cotton in the world, but not all the cotton grown in Egypt is ELS cotton. It is possible to purchase a product labeled 100% Egyptian cotton with the expectation of it being made from the very finest cotton, when in fact it could be made from lesser quality, non-ELS, Egyptian cotton. To our knowledge, there is no way for the consumer to know the true quality of the Egyptian cotton used in the manufacture of a product. What can you do? Use your judgment, and be guided by the feel of the product.
A word of caution: read the label carefully. If the label says "Pima cotton" and not "100% Pima cotton" then it is likely the Pima cotton has been blended with upland cotton. We typically assume the "100%" part when reading a label that says "Pima cotton." But, if it doesn't say 100%, don't assume 100%. The labeling used by manufacturers has become much more forthright in recent years, so more often than not you will see labeling that is very specific about the cotton content. What you read is what you get. | agronomy |
