In general speaking, Tibet main livelihood patterns can be divided into farming areas and pastoral areas. Therefore, for centuries, subsistence agriculture and animal husbandry have been the main livelihood in Tibet. They provide food, clothing, raw materials for handicraft, and goods for trade.
The main crops grown by farmers in Tibet are highland barley, the secondary ones include wheat, pea, broad bean, buckwheat, rye, potatoes, and assorted fruits and vegetables. In the recent years, large quantities of new varieties of crops and vegetables have been introduced into Tibet, particularly almost all of them that can be found in China can also be found in Tibet.
Barley is the main high elevation crop cultivated on the Tibetan Plateau for at least 4000 years ago, but its origin and domestication remain unclear. Barley is especially tolerant of cold and frost, it grows very well on the high elevation regions, therefore making it ideal for farming in Tibet, and barley agriculture providing Tibetans with sustained food supplies throughout the seasons, therefore, it remains important in the diet of Tibetans.
The basic food called Tsampa is made from roasted and crushed barley mixed with yak cheese, butter and tea. Traditionally barley is used only to make Tsampa and alcoholic spirits, but nowadays variety of new products made from barley, like beer, biscuits, cakes and noodles. Barley is a true organic food, experts say. The highland barley is nutritious, rich in mineral elements and a unique health food believed capable of reducing blood fats, improving digestion, and preventing diabetes and altitude sickness.
Apart from agricultural production, Tibetan farmers raise relatively small number of livestock species such as cattle, sheep, goats, and horses, they help to improve income and wellbeing of the farm family by providing food supply, family nutrition, family income, asset savings, soil productivity, livelihoods, transport, agricultural traction, agricultural diversification and sustainable agricultural production.
Nomads are still found on the Tibetan Plateau. Known in the Tibetan language as Drokpa, translating as ‘High-pasture People’. Tibetan Drokpa, they have created a unique nomadic culture and contributed to, and were a part of, a remarkable civilization that was the most powerful empire in Asia over 1,300 years ago. Hence, Tibetans, all works of life considered nomads as an important element in the local economy and society wherever they are found.
For centuries these nomads have ranged across the grasslands of the Tibetan plateau with their grazing herds of sheep, cattle, goats and yaks. Like many people living close to nature, the nomads in Tibet have developed a close connection to the land and the livestock that nurture them. They have traditionally worn thick clothes, lived in traditional nomadic tents and moved from place to place to better feed the animals. Money is earned by trading animals for grain or selling them or their meat for money.
The yak, an exceptional animal superbly adapted to the high altitude, cold environment of the Tibetan Plateau, characterizes Tibetan nomadic pastoralism. Tibetans place so much value on it that the Tibetan term for yaks “Nor”, can be translated as “Wealth”. Yaks provide nomads with milk, meat, hair, wool and hides. They are also used as pack animals and for riding. Dried yak dung is an important source of fuel in an environment where firewood is not available. Without the yak it is doubtful if man could live as well as he does in the high altitude pastoral areas. The yak makes life possible for the Tibetan nomads.
Yaks also play an important role in many pastoral rituals and religious festivals. Events such as yak dances and yak races signify the vital role that yaks have in Tibetan nomadic society, not only as a means of daily sustenance, but also for their cultural and spiritual value.
Yak Hair Tent are a prime example of nomads’ skill in adapting to a nomadic life on the windswept Tibetan steppe. Made from the long, coarse hair of the yak, tents can be easily taken down and packed on yaks when moving camp. They keep out the rain yet let in light. Sections of the tent that become old and frayed can be easily replaced with new strips of woven yak hair. Staked out with yak hair ropes, tents have been perfected to stand up in the fierce winds that blow across the Tibetan plains.
In addition to yaks and yak-cattle hybrids, Tibetan nomads raise goats, sheep and horses. Tibetan goats are famous for the fine cashmere they produce; this is used for making expensive shawls that are woven in Kashmir. Goats are also milked by the nomads and produce milk for a longer period of time than sheep.
Sheep are also an important animal for the nomads. They provide wool, meat and hides and, in some areas, are also milked. Among Tibetan nomads, sheep meat is the most preferred. The wool from Tibetan sheep ranks among the best carpet wools of the world; it is highly prized for its great elasticity, deep luster, and outstanding tensile strength. The fibers of Tibetan sheep wool have an exceptionally smooth surface that reflects extra light, making them more lustrous than wool from other breeds. These factors help give Tibetan carpets their unique characteristics — the subtle shaded a brash, supple resiliency and potentially radiant patina.
Nomads also raise horses for riding and transporting supplies, but do not milk nor eat them. The grazing lands of Amdo in northeast Tibet have long been renowned for producing good horses. This area is also the home of the legendary Golok tribes,
Although horses play only a minor economic role in Tibetan nomads’ lives, and their numbers are never anywhere near as large as those found among nomads in Mongolia, horses do help to create special attitudes and values among Tibetan nomads. Horsemanship is a highly regarded skill and throughout the Tibetan pastoral area, horse races and various contests have held that test both the horsemen’s skills and the horses’ performance.

The day of Akshaya Tritiya is considered as the third day of unending prosperity in Hindu/Jain culture. Also, on his day the first mango of the season is relished by everyone. The mangoes are bought a few weeks before unripe. Then we ripen them by storing them in the hay for a few days. This process is very important. Hence, whoever oversees this must flip mangoes every day and keep. Eyes on them so that there will be no overripe mango in the batch. There are almost 30 different varieties of mango present in India.
All varieties are spread all over India. From the northern side of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh to the south till Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The states of Bengal houses some of the delicious varieties as well. And at the end comes the one who is known as the king of mangoes “Alphonso” or we call it Hapus. The Alphonso holds an interesting story.
So, the Alphonso even though is known as a mango from India. It’s a Variety originated from Portugal. In the 1600s during the military exploration led by a Portuguese explorer named “Alphonso de Albuquerque”. Now you know why it is named Alphonso. Also, this same variety travelled to TWO different coastal parts of India. One being the Kokan and another being southern part of Tamil Nadu. Well, it thrived and flourished on the Kokan side more and people preferred the taste more.
The world-famous varietal of Hapus is “Devgad Hapus” came to Devgad in the 90s. The characteristics of Devgad Hapus are no fibres, creamy texture, distinct perfumed aroma and even-size of the mangoes. Even after many experiments, people couldn’t replicate similar textures of Hapus. The reason is the high levels of laterite present in the soil of Devgad.
To say Devgad Hapus is the “Grand Cru” or “Blanc de Blanc” of mangoes in India. Mother Earth holds the magic. Replicating the gift of this nature is impossible. People of Devgad Understood the potential of this Mango. And soon They started sending it to the Markets of Mumbai and Pune. Hence, a person from these cities rarely eats a mango other than Hapus. A few years back I thought that there should be a better mango than Hapus somewhere. The mangoes I have eaten from south-east Asia to the mangoes from Mexico and Southern America. Have no balance as the Hapus. it’s near perfection in every aspect. that sweetness, the texture and the unparalleled smell of this Mango
I had a bite of Hapus almost after 2.5 years. That one bite of Hapus and I recalled the tastes of those different mangoes. I realized that other mangoes stood no chance. Maybe that the reason it makes Alphonso The “Grand Cru”. The quest for finding a better and more balanced mango will go on. At the same time, I think that I Won’t find any. | agronomy |

The first festival was held in late May 2006, and I brought an antique "barn loom", set it up and wove on it. I also had a display of antique textiles and did a little spinning on the great wheel.
This year I decided to focus on spinning and to demonstrate point spinning on various types of hand spindles and on the great wheel. When I arrived Friday afternoon to set up my display, I discovered that the festival was giving me a double space, so I went home and filled the van a second time with more fiber!
I used one table for a Touch Me fiber display, and also set up a displays of cotton, alpaca and wool spinning. I brought a variety of roving for sale, some sheepy puppets and some Peace Fleece knitting needles.
I read in the local paper a few years ago that Mr. John Friant was growing cotton in a community garden out on the triangle where the bypass meets Route 7 in Berryville, and I contacted Mr. Friant to ask if he had any plans for the cotton from these plants. He was surprised to hear that spinners would be interested and excited to have his cotton for hand spinning, and offered me the whole crop from his 4 plants.
Mr. Friant also plucked much of the cotton from the bolls and pulled seed out of much of the crop, and when I came to pick up the cotton, he told me how time consuming it was to remove the seeds. He declared that there must be a gin somewhere in Virginia where you could obtain cotton with the seeds already removed.
And while it took over a year, he did find a gin and he called me up this summer to say that he had ten pounds of ginned cotton for me! I took special care to focus on cotton spinning in my exhibit, and Mr. Friant came out to the festival to see me spin his cotton. He later went out to the garden and pulled up two of the cotton plants and brought them back to the festival to add to the display. I'm sorry I didn't get photos of these - they were 6 feet tall standing on their roots, and had flower buds, flowers, immature seed pods and mature, burst bolls of cotton all on the same plant.
I had a great time spinning cotton on the Miner's head and wool pencil roving on the bat head on the great wheel, spinning on hand spindles and meeting and talking with folks all weekend. It was also nice to see the festival grow - there were more than twice as many vendors this year.
I also came away from the festival with a small fleece - a four pound first clip from a romney/border leicester lamb from the Dell Acres Farm in Edinburg, Virginia. My plan is to spin it up into a fine yarn and knit a faroe style shawl! | agronomy |

The self-reliance that comes from being able to feed oneself is priceless. It is a substantial skill to have. The economy changes all the time, resources change all the time, income sources can change in a heartbeat, but you don't need to be at the whim of these changes when you can feed yourself. If there is a garden growing vegetables, there will always be food on the table.
Planting and growing vegetables are just the beginning of how gardening can benefit a family. Most garden rubbish and kitchen garbage can be eliminated with the use of a compost. Scraps from the dinner table and green waste from the garden get put into the compost bin. Once the compost reaches maturity, it can be spread in the garden as a nutrient-rich fertilizer. It is a low-effort system to set up too. Building or purchasing the compost bin is the hardest part. Then, a few times a month, the waste gets stirred and mixed up. This recycling can enhance your garden crops and improve them exponentially. It will also save you money on garden fertilizer since you are creating your own.
Recycling grey water is another simple, low-energy, way to save money. Water used for cooking, bathing (as long as no toxic soaps, cleaners, or detergents are used), and washing should not be thrown away. This water can be used in your garden. It doesn't need to be treated or cleaned beforehand, either. A pipe can be installed that directs all the greywater from your house into the garden. Alternately, you can move the water yourself. Keep a bucket around to put old cooking water in or take the water out to the garden right in the cooking pot.
A biodigester is an economical way to use organic waste as a means to produce fuel for cooking. A bio-digester is an investment as they are not inexpensive. The money that will be saved on fuel, however, is incredible. On average, a bio-digester made for a single home can produce 1-2 hours of cooking gas. No longer does a household need to rely on outside sources or pay for cooking fuel. The bio-digester is powered with leftover food scraps and organic material, stuff that would normally be thrown in the garbage.
Self-sufficiency is empowering. If you are growing your own food, composting your waste, and creating your own cooking fuel, the unpredictable nature of the world becomes less of a problem. There is less need to rely on others for your family's well-being.

Willow has many uses around the farm;
Riparian buffer strips that slow water flow, retain top soil, increase water infiltration and slow the passage of nitrates and phosphates into watercourses.
Biofiltration, willow can be used as part of a system e.g. a Zero discharge constructed wetland, see link, to reduce excess nutrients in liquid waste streams eg. Yard run off.
Reducing Ammonia pollution by planting willow copses downwind from livestock sheds. See Link
Buffer strips on sloping fields to prevent soil loss and increase water infiltration.
These measures will also produce biomass for heating, with the willow either chipped for boilers or allowed to grow to be harvested as logs | agronomy |

Many readers have expressed interest in creating their own organic garden in their own backyard. As a result, I wanted to share a few tips for starting a backyard garden that is organic, sustainable and earth-friendly.
There are numerous benefits to planting your own organic garden at home. It enables you to eat the freshest fruits, herbs, and vegetable. At the same time, you act to help reduce the number of pesticides and toxins in the environment. As organic produce can be costly in the supermarket, growing your own delicious organic produce at home can also save money.
Gardening Tip #1 – Plan
Plan your garden before planting your crops, it’ll help you reap the best harvest possible. Make a decision on what fruits, herbs, and vegetables grow best in your area and find local sources that sell organic seeds.
Decide how much space you can use for your garden and what the budget will be. For smaller yards, a container garden works well. You can also make a small herb garden with pots and boxes. By planning you can coordinate what plants grow in the spring, fall, winter, and summer to create a year-long harvest.
Gardening Tip #2 – Less is More
It may seem like a good idea to plant every edible plant that you love to eat… but it may be better to start with a small, manageable garden in the beginning. If you plant too many of one plant, you may find yourself selling tomato sauce to all of your neighbors this summer. Start small and expand each season. Experiment with various plants and find what grows best. City dwellers can easily create a small rooftop or balcony garden consisting of pots and raised beds. You can also grow indoors or in a greenhouse during the winter months. For indoor growing, I use the aero garden which works pretty well.
Gardening Tip #3 – Choose Productive Plants
Choose plants that grow well in your climate and geography. Think locally. Nothing can be more frustrating than trying to plant avocados in Maine.
Also, some plants may grow well but have different economics. Corn, for example, is cheap but is labor intensive. Berries, on the other hand, are quite expensive in grocery stores and are labor free. They require little money or time to cultivate!
Gardening Tip #4 – Share and Barter
If you buy a large packet of seeds and have extras, share with your friends and neighbors. You can also do the same with gardening equipment. By planning and sharing, you can reduce the costs of buying heavy equipment on your own, a process that helps keep overall costs down.
Gardening Tip #5 – Go Organic With Your supplies
Organic seeds can be bought locally or by mail order. Do not use chemical pesticides, herbicides, or any other synthetic chemicals.
There are many natural products for treating weeds, diseases, pests, and soil issues. These natural products are much safer and better for the environment.
Be sure your planting area will not be contaminated with lawn fertilizer or other chemicals. Try to find organic soil and compost or make your own compost by recycling your food waste.
Gardening Tip #6 – Complement Your Plants
Research traditional methods of natural gardening to grow plants that complement one another such as permaculture. Beans and squash grow well together, so do potatoes and corn. Complementary growing helps soil nutrients and overall plant success.
Gardening Tip #7 – Have Fun!
Gardening can be an incredibly grounding family affair. Remember, no garden is perfect. Choose some of your favorite plants and enjoy watching their process of growth.
What is Organic Soil?
Organic soil has been naturally amended by the decomposition of plants and animals and unfortunately, today, most of the soil in the world has been depleted by agribusiness. Farmers who produce certified organic produce must first develop soil that meets the criteria of the USDA. This requires them to amend previously depleted soil with essential organic compounds with the intent of restoring soil with the original richness our planet previously enjoyed prior to the damage caused by modern day industrialization.
How Effective is Organic Soil?
Organic soil is better able to cultivate plants than non-organic agribusiness soil. Organic soil also has a composition that provides some mechanical benefit to as the organic amendment improves soil drainage and makes the soil less apt to “pack” so it breaks up easily for planting. Organic amendment greatly increases soil nutrient content and the soil becomes much more resistant to a pathogenic invasion that can harm plant life. Healthy soil develops a powerful mycelial layer that works to detoxify the land from pesticides and chemicals.
Research shows soil with higher levels of decomposing organic matter deters pest infestations. Not only do organic farmers avoid using pesticides; they actually do not need them the same way conventional farmers do because the richness of the soil actually provides a sort of natural protection for plants. Crops grown in organic soil contain higher levels of nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants. Organic farming often uses 50 percent less of the total amount of energy to operate than the mechanized, chemically oriented methods of agribusiness.
Simply put, organic farming in nutrient-rich, organic soil is as good for the environment as it is for the consumer.
Organic Farmers May be Using Contaminated Water
You have to watch for this. As of yet, the USDA does not regulate water quality used in organic farming. This means that some farmers can, and do, use municipal water sources to cultivate their crops. Many of these sources contain dangerous contaminants that go right back into the amended soil and straight to the core of the plants you eat.
Discovering if your vegetables were grown with municipal water requires some effort on your part, you will need to locate and contact the farm and ask them yourself. Ask them if they are using well water or purified water to irrigate their organic soil. Also, ask if they have tested the water to make certain it is as healthy as the earth they grow your vegetables in. Conscientious farmers who love the earth and its people will answer these questions politely and directly.
Do not be afraid to ask, and find out the truth about your produce before you buy it. | agronomy |

Generally, down our lane, verge management is somewhat haphazard.
But.......for the keen-eyed botanist, this űber-mowing, has a diminutive advantage, in the form of an easily overlooked clover: subterranean clover, Trifolium subterraneum.
Subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) (with a few yarrow leaves)
Inconspicuous white flowers of Trifolium subterraneum
Sub clover (as it is known) is native to England. It can survive in inhospitable environments (dry, over-mown, road verges, for example). It has the curious ability of being able to bury its seed underground (hence subterranean or 'burrowing' clover). The correct word for this is 'geocarpic', which essentially means the plant buries the maturing seed by pushing it underground. In the case of sub clover a burr forms round the seed and this is driven underground. Clever plant.
Subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum) burr
Because it is grown as a forage crop, this little plant has an impressive literature about it (albeit mostly behind paywalls. Grrrr). The Australian Department of Agriculture report that it contains phyto-oestrogens (for example, formononetin). These chemicals, can, if sheep are grazed on green pasture rich in these legumes, negatively affect breeding (called clover infertility).
What a brill little plant! | agronomy |

One of the most significant benefits of organic cotton is that it is often hand-picked and processed without harsh chemicals or machines, which preserves the integrity and softness of the fibers and gives them their unique texture. It is grown without the use of harmful pesticides, which means it’s safer for the farmers who grow it, your skin and nonetheless for the environment.
The final material is softer and more breathable than conventional cotton, making it a great choice for tiny clothing. Plus, it’s hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin, as it doesn’t contain any residual chemicals or irritants that can trigger allergies or inflammation.
Another fantastic thing about organic farming is that the farms often serve as habitats for various species of birds, insects and mammals, which contribute to the overall biodiversity of the area, and create a more resilient and adaptive environment. By choosing organic cotton, you’re supporting sustainable and ethical farming practices that help to protect biodiversity, conserve water and reduce the carbon footprint of your clothing.
Common organic farming practices often include crop rotation, companion planting and natural pest control methods, which promote a diverse and balanced ecosystem and reduces the risk of crop failures and soil degradation.
Last but not least, organic cotton farming helps to conserve water resources as it relies on rainwater and natural moisture retention rather than artificial irrigation systems that deplete groundwater resources.
By choosing organic cotton, you not only support sustainable and ethical practices but also contribute to the restoration and regeneration of natural systems and resources that are essential for our future well-being and survival.
Let's cherish the beauty and diversity of our planet by considering organic next time you're shopping for clothes.

What Exactly is Maple Water?
Maple water is pure sap from the maple trees. It's a common misconception that all sap is sticky. Maple sap actually looks and feels just like regular water. The main difference is that maple water goes through a natural process that infuses it with plant-powered nutrients. In early spring, maple trees pull water from the ground and filter it through their roots. This water collects nutrients stored in the tree all winter and provides hydration and nourishment that enable trees' growth and rejuvenation in the spring renewal season.
Trees produce sap most of the year, but it’s only during the spring thaw that conditions are just right to harvest maple sap. In March and April, when the temps are warm during the day and below freezing at night, we tap the trees and collect the nutrient-packed water.
We don’t add anything, and it’s not a byproduct from making maple syrup. In fact, the folks that work in the sugar houses have been drinking maple sap to stay hydrated during sugaring season for decades!
Oh, and did we mention it’s totally harmless to the trees? It actually encourages responsible forestry and can help incentivize landowners to keep healthy forests on their lands! Maple syrup requires 40 gallons of sap to create 1 gallon of syrup, with our maple water 1 gallon of sap produces 1 gallon of maple water so a farmers harvest can have a much more significant economic impact for their operation.
People who drink maple water benefit from phytochemicals and hydration, while enjoying a slightly sweet, faintly woodsy taste. You can read about the Top Ten Benefits of Maple Water here.
A study done by Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Tokushima Bunri University showed that the polyphenols and antioxidants present in maple water (and to be noted that are not found in maple syrup) have an antioxidant and phenolic activity to help with the prevention in aging.
A study done by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette showed that people were able to consume more oxygen during exercise after consuming Maple Water. Maple Water is an excellent choice for anyone set to engage in more extended duration exercise as the study showed that maple water boosts aerobic performance.
The University of Northern Texas found that maple water hydrates at double the speed as regular water.
A Study in the International Journal of Molecular Medicine found that drinking maple water before alcohol can boost the rate at which alcohol is metabolized in the body. Therefore, this could potentially reduce, or lessen the severity of a hangover. | agronomy |

A study on foraging activities of stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Hetrotrigona itama) was conducted at Taman Tropika Kenyir (TTK), Terengganu from April until September 2014. The objective of this study was to investigate the active period time of foraging activities of Heterotrigona itama. The foraging activities which include of the total number of outgoing foragers, incoming foragers with pollen load, and incoming foragers without pollen load were observed from 0800 to 1800 hour for each month. There was significant difference in terms of average number of incoming foragers with pollen load to the hive by the time (F10,22 =5.852, P < 0.05). Overall result shows that the most effective time for the foragers to outgoing from the hive and incoming to the hive was early in the morning between 0800 to 1000 hour, and eventually declined after 1200 hours. Based on the observation most of the incoming foragers without pollen load carried nectar or propolis at about 1300-1400. Information from this study is important in order to understand the survival determinant and dispersal adaptation of the stingless bees for future crop pollination success.

Compost refers to decomposed organic materials. It is made with kitchen scraps based on plants, shredded twigs, and leaves.
The best thing about compost is that it can act as an excellent fertilizer. Hence, you will be able to use compose and go ahead with gardening, instead of using organic fertilizer.
Some people even tend to call compost black gold because of the excellent benefits that come along with it.
No matter where you live, you will be able to go ahead with preparing compost. Here are some of the most prominent ways available for you to prepare compost as of now.
Use a closed compost bin
Using a closed compost bin would be the best option available for you to prepare compost at the comfort of your home. These closed composting bins are usually made out of recycled plastics.
They are available for your purchase in different shapes as well. For example, you can find cylindrical-shaped closed bins as well as square-shaped closed bins. You can find a lid that provides complete coverage to the closed bins.
You can use these compost bins in urban areas as well as non-urban areas. However, it is important to keep in mind that these compost bins will not be able to help you with hot composting.
That's because you will not be able to maintain the desired temperature within a closed compost bin.
The overall process of harvesting compost from a closed composting bin can lead you to some challenges.
That’s because the opening of a composting bin would usually be located around 1 foot on top of the soil level. You will come across the need to move the composting bin to a new location to make your life easy.
You will not usually be able to find a bottom in a plastic composting bin. Therefore, you should understand that the materials you have inside it would drop as soon as you lift the composting bin.
This is where you should fork what you can find at the top of your compost bin to the new location. You will be able to purchase such a plastic compost bin at an affordable price tag as well.
Along with the purchase of your closed compost bin, you will be able to find be able to get all the directions on how to use it and make compost at home. Hence, you can stick to it and proceed with making compost.
If you are a no-fuss gardener, pit composting will be the best option available out there to consider as of now. This is where you can dig trenches or holes in the soil and go ahead with burying all your waste.
After burying waste, you can simply forget it. It would usually take around 6 months to one year for you to get compost. If you are not in a hurry to get compost, this would be an ideal option available for you to consider.
You will be able to completely decompose organic matter with the help of this method. Hence, it is a perfect example of a highly effective composting method.
Pit composting is one of the cheapest methods available for you to get compost as well. That’s because you don’t need to buy any special tools.
You just need to get the basic tools, which you can use for digging. You will usually be able to find them at your home. You can dig the holes on your own as well.
If you have plans to go ahead with planting a garden or bed, you will be able to go ahead with this method.
All you have to do is to dig the holes in the places where you are going to have the garden. You can have this in any preferred area of your garden as well.
Use open bins for composting
Any person who wants to get compost in a simple way will be able to think about using open bins. In fact, open bins can help you to go ahead with both cold composting as well as hot composting.
You will be able to use wood or wire fencing to create a structured and neat area so that you will be able to use that to stockpile organic matter.
The composting bins you use would be open. Hence, you will be able to go ahead with convenient turning. On the other hand, you will be able to harvest materials without going through any major challenges as well.
In the meantime, air would get into the materials and enhance the speed of decomposition as well. These builds are in a position to hold large volumes of compost at a time. Depending on your requirement, you can go ahead and have more than one bine at your home as well.
By getting the assistance of open bins, you will be able to keep compost materials tidy. You can even hide them from the view. Hence, you will not be causing any eyesore for the neighbors as well.
The overall cost of getting open bins would vary depending on numerous factors. In general, it would cost around $500 to $2,000. The decision you take in order to use wood or plastic lumber would contribute a lot towards the cost of it.
Open bins are easy to construct. Hence, you can get the job done on your own, without spending too much money on labor. You can easily fit one of these bins to most of the areas.
However, a three-bin system would usually require a lot of space for construction at home.
Now you have a good understanding of the most prominent methods available out there to prepare compost.
You can go through these methods and pick the best approach to go ahead with composting. Then you can receive outstanding results at the end of the day. | agronomy |
https://solwalkingingreece.co.uk/food/taste-of-the-mani-in-bristol-a-vintage-year-for-olive-oil/ | 2022-08-13T17:40:33 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571982.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813172349-20220813202349-00171.warc.gz | 0.95189 | 851 | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-33__0__116079005 | en | YEIA SAS from post-lockdown London. One of the consolations of this restricted time has been my cupboard full of Greek produce, an alimentary route to the Mani on a wet city evening. Far more evocative of the peninsula than my home versions of moussaka and dolmades is my store of local Mani olive oil, a cheering and transporting part of most meals while restricted from my planned springtime trip to Greece. This season’s crop is reputed as a vintage year, I have sourced my tins via a Mani connection now based in Bristol. Leandrou and Alex Kousiounis are the owners of Be Natural Products which specialises in Mani Peninsula ethically produced products. Everything they stock is locally sourced, chemical free and available both at their store in the Corn Exchange, Bristol and online via their website: www.benaturalproducts.co.uk.
The roots of Greek culture are entwined with the olive tree. Sacred to Athena it has sustained Greeks for thousands of years providing essential food, light, cosmetics, medicine, vessels and utensils. As early as the 4th century BC the Greeks historian Theophrastus records an especially long-lived olive tree on the Acropolis. This staple of the Greek table was also key to the establishment of trade routes, and later colonies, around the Mediterranean.
Be Natural Products’ oil is sourced from Mani family run groves of Koroneiki olive trees grown on the small strip of coast and terraces high up into the Taygetus Mountains. The mineral packed stony soil and sunny climate (300 days a year) yield a fruity grassy tasting oil with a mild aroma. Around November when the colour turns from green to purple, the farmers close their tavernas and with their families all head to the groves. Traditional methods are still often used, the steepness of the land keeping mechanisation to a minimum. The olives are picked by hand using ladders, rakes and sticks sometimes mechanical hand machinery and are collected under the trees in sheets or nets. They are then packed into corse woven sacks and transported to the mill.
The British Museum has produced a YouTube video on the archaeology of the olive that describes the olive making process in 5000BC in the southern Levant. This process was almost the same in Greece, evidence of this ancient process survives on painted Greek amphora such as the 520BC painting below of farmers beating the trees with sticks.
As it was thousands of years ago, the olives are sifted of leaves and twigs, washed and weighed before being crushed by millstones into a tapenade paste. The pulp is then placed onto mats so that the pressing process can begin and an olive juice extracted. The juice is transferred into another container and here a modern intervention occurs as a centrifuge is now used to separate any water from the oil yielding a glorious emerald green liquid. The oil is then transferred into vats to settle before being bottled. Depending upon the location and size of the tree, it can yield from 3 -15 litres.
Hard pruning takes place after harvest, this provides wood for more local products such as bowls, spoons, boards (all available from Be Natural Products – Leandrou and Alex only sell olive wood products from pruned wood to ensure trees are not needlessly cut down).
A lesser known byproduct of this tree is olive leaf tea. The tea has been used for medicinal purpose for centuries as a prophylactic against inflammation and infection. The leaf is rich in antioxidants and contains Oleuropein that may have health benefits for hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes type 2, boost immunity and lower blood pressure.
So, until we can gather again and explore the olive groves perhaps have a look at the other products from the Mani stocked by Leandrou and Alex such as the famous Kalamata olives, locally hand picked salt, herbs both culinary and medicinal and wonderful soaps, all highly recommended. We have scheduled our next trip to the Mani for 17-24 October 2020 and 10-17 April and 17-24 April 2021. | agronomy |

For many people, jute is kind of off the radar when it comes to green fabrics. Back in the 1700-1800s, jute was a wonder crop, but the growing of jute, and its production into sustainable fibers, largely dropped off in the early to mid 1900s when synthetic fibers started making their appearance.
But the use of jute is starting to see a resurgence in this country. Why? Because it’s one of the most affordable crops in the world to grow. And, it’s second only to cotton in the number of uses it has. India is the world’s largest jute producing country, but a great deal of jute is also grown in Bangladesh, Pakistan and China.
Jute fabric is also known as burlap. It’s brown, fairly rough in its raw state, and won’t irritate your allergies.
So, why is jute so eco friendly?
- It’s 100% biodegradable.
- It doesn’t need pesticides or fertilizers to grow.
- Jute makes the best yarns and commercial packaging…even better than synthetic fibers and materials.
- Jute grows to maturity in 4-6 months. But the stem of the plant also contains jute hurd, which is very similar to wood pulp. Current crops of jute could meet the world’s wood needs (without having to harvest any more trees) if people would simply harvest all of it instead of letting it go to waste.
Uses for Jute
Jute is a wonderfully strong fabric, and I have several things in my own home made from jute.
For instance, my favorite reusable shopping bag is made from jute. The thing is tough as nails, and the perfect size for toting home produce.
I also have a super cool summer rug made from jute.
Jute is also commonly blended with cotton (to make it softer) in home fabrics (think sofas, curtains, etc.). Why? Because jute is strong, durable and has UV protection.
What else is jute used to make?
- Darling summertime espadrille sandals
- Carpet backing
- Wrapping for bales of cotton
- Imitation silk (really!)
- Wall coverings
- Yarns and twines
As you can see, jute is a versatile and eco-friendly crop that, I think, doesn’t get enough attention. Personally I love jute, and the way it feels on my barefeet (thanks to my rug and espadrilles!) and would love to have more jute items in my life.
What about you? Do you have any items made with jute fabric?

and, the reason for that is of course…”outsourcing”
China went from a measly 50,000 pounds of garlic a decade ago to 2 million to 3 million pounds last year, and for the first time more fresh garlic was imported into the U.S. than was produced in California. – Fresh Plaza

We had a blast. I already canned his peaches. Tomorrow I make strawberry ice cream. The next day, peach. Can anyone say yum?!
Love, love this time of year when I can pick my own fruit and do some canning and anything else I can think of to make. Recently I was on a blueberry craze. Now it’s peaches and strawberries. Sometimes it is just nice to get out into the orchard and have some fun. Well, we will enjoy the fruits of our labor.
Until next time, happy creating. | agronomy |

My husband has been busy this spring preparing our backyard for a suburban garden, and a worm bin can be an essential component of a healthy garden, especially here in the Valley of the Sun with our hard, clayish soil.
Preparing the Worm Bin
Luckily, we’ve attempted this endeavour before, so we dug our old worm bin out of the garage and got it cleaned up for its new residents. Red wrigglers are different than earthworms. They tend to live in the decaying matter instead of the soil, so they don’t need a lot of dirt, just some shredded cardboard and paper, and lots of kitchen scraps to eat. Bryan wet the cardboard in the sink, and added some dry paper to balance out the moisture. Last up was a bit of filtered garden soil to top it off.
The great thing about the worms is that they will eat just about anything. We’ve been keeping a container of our produce scraps and eggshells on the counter for the past few weeks to add to our growing compost pile, but we saved the best, juiciest bits for our worms. Bryan has been reading about the worms’ favorite foods and how to keep them healthy and thriving. Our 1,000 worms could consume up to a pound of food a day. They will eventually even eat the paper bedding!
Adding the Worms
As soon as we had some of their favorite food buried just under the top layer of bedding, we were ready to add the worms. When we dumped the worms from their container, they were able to disappear beneath the surface amazingly quick. The kids wanted to “play” with them, but the worms were too fast for them!
Harvesting the Worm Compost
The bin we have is specially designed to make harvesting the compost and worm “tea” easy. We’re starting with just one section, but eventually we will add other sections to sort the worms from their compost. The worms will move to the section where the food is, so the compost falls to the next section. As they eat everything in one section, you just add new bedding and food in a new section, plop it on top, and they make their way there, leaving behind nutrient-rich compost to add to the garden! | agronomy |

Remember when no one ever heard of Kiwi fruit? What do you think of when you think of rhubarb? How much of the world do you think has ever heard of rhubarb, let alone tasted it? It makes fantastic pies but did you know it makes an equally fantastic juice? It can be mixed with other fruit but is great just as rhubarb juice – better and more refreshing than grapefruit and it is packed with vitamins and loads of vitamin C.
I could never figure out why farmers never cultivated this wonderful, versatile and hardy plant for commercial purposes in a big way. Every old homestead still has rhubarb growing, even 80 years after the homestead is gone. Every Grandma has made rhubarb pie that is gobbled down as a seasonal delight. Other than that – it is forgotten. There are rhubarb farms out there that provide rhubarb for pies but rhubarb is still a relatively unexplored market.
Rhubarb is hardy even in the coldest climates.This hardy plant actually prefers cooler climates and makes a great cash crop where standard fruits will not grow well. It grows from a root or crown, and once planted it comes up every year for many years. The stalks of the rhubarb are what are used. You practically can’t kill this plant, even if you tried. Splitting a root into pieces produces more plants. Every year, if you chose, you could split the root up and plant more plants thus expanding your crop for the next year.
Once your crop is established on a clean growing area, weeds are crowded out. Rhubarb may give you two possible crops a year. It is not adversely affected by weather, disease or bugs to any degree.
Rhubarb goes back to 2700 BC and was used for medicinal purposes. Today it is a culinary delight. Tomorrow it will be a funky new juice!
Rhubarb is a cash crop that guarantees results. The market is in its infant stage but promises to be the wave of the future for large and small farmers.
The market has many new and interesting fruit flavors and rhubarb is on its way.
If you are looking for a new cash crop or away to expand your income try growing Rhubarb. | agronomy |

Shinone Apple Farm is a small independent apple grower in Okhotsk, the northernmost part of Hokkaido, Japan. Okhotsk was once abundant with the Asahi apple, but now Shinone Apple Farm is one of the few remaining producers.
They are specialized in growing the Asahi apple, using only organic fertilizers and without the use of herbicides.
Asahi in Japanese means the rising sun or the morning sun, giving way to the logo: an apple sun, rising over Okhotsk. Just as the rising sun symbolizes hope for a new day, the Asahi apple gives hope to the apple producers in Okhotsk. Carefree illustrations adorn the packaging, depicting the Okhotsk region and its charm. Kraft paper communicates the rustic image of an apple farm in the country. Gold leaf adorns the packaging like shining rays of sun. | agronomy |

In 2001 I started several biointensive garden beds at home and have expanded every year. I now have about 1300 sq feet that produce between 1000 and 1500 pounds of nutrient-dense veggies per season depending on the proportions of the 35 veggies I typically plant. I've spent over 15 years fine tuning efficient ways to grow more food, with less work, since people have busy lives, but still want to grow some great organic food at home.
My yields have been consistant. Pests and disease have been extremely low, and my labor is easier each season. (I only weed once a year now, because of the planting methods) You can use these same methods in just about any climate zone to grow intense amounts of food in small spaces, with no synthetic chemicals, and no special gizmos or expensive inputs.
The same techniques can be used in any sized garden from 100 square feet to larger gardens or CSA operations with thousands of square feet. Once you learn to "align the design" of your garden with the needs of natural systems, you can cross that threshold where you just go out your door and harvest great tasting, clean, organic food every year with confidence!
Chris was a recent student in the garden program that I run each year.
She had the common problem where she put tons of work into the food garden beds around her home, and nothing seemed to grow like the photos in the seed catalogs. She toiled away weeding all the time, fighting the tough, colorado soil and fickle weather each year, only to find weak, spindly plants in late summer--Hardly worth the effort. She was tired of harvesting baby-sized carrots and beets that were the size of average radishes and having to explain to neighbors that they weren't radishes. They were just really small beets... pretty frustrating.
So Chris decided to enroll in the online class in late winter to get a jump on a different approach to growing food in the spring. She implemented only a handful of the methods from the program, enhancing the "Soil Food Web" in the beds, using compost, and she started a small worm bin out back, used the new planting methods to increase yields and reduce weeds, installed a small drip system to automate the watering using a couple AA batteries, did simple mulching, etc...
I hadn't recieved any communication from her in mid summer, but then she gave me a call in late July... She was in a totally different mood. She was giddy about what her garden was doing. She said she now looked forward to summer outings away for a few days of camping or outside activities, because the garden took care of itself, first of all, and it was growing so well that she was now excited to get back home and see all the growth that took place while she was out of town.
She was now walking out to the garden daily to pick all kinds of greens and veggies that she used in meals throughout the week. By autumn she was harvesting full sized carrots (which she had never experienced) and finally, full-sized, beautiful beets! She had found the same feeling of contentment that, I think everyone has, once they finally 'get it" and understand how to grow food well. It's hard to describe, but when it happens to you, you'll understand that it feels 'as right as rain".
" My tomatoes are ridiculous...so many. Squash, cukes, zukes, potatoes, green beans, onions, beets, all did great. I have learned so much and had so much fun. When I can grow food where I live, I feel like it's a healthy place for me and everyone and everything around me. My summer meals have been filled with garden bounty. That is so special. I have learned so much from your videos and conversations. So more I want to try and want to do."
~ Chris in Colorado - GrowFoodWell member 2016
I've seen this kind of success at small and large scale. It doesn't matter what climate zone you're in, soil type, garden size, urban or rural. Plants just want to grow. And when you learn how to adjust your local variables to align with the conditions the plants need, you can grow just about any vegetable to its full genetic potential. So you end up with Great Food every season that you can eat fresh, or preserve for later in the year.
I believe in the step-by-step approach. Start small, succeed, and move up from there. This avoids the issues that can arise when people get ahead of themselves and the garden suffers. When that happens, it's usually the gardener who suffers, because they feel unscuccessful in their efforts and they risk losing interest in growing their own food. So if we can have small success and grow from there, it's way more fun!

Working together with her husband, Rohan, she created The Sculpted Garden with a vision to help other people connect with nature and express their creativity through gardening. Here's her story.
What is the story behind The Sculpted Garden?
When my husband (Rohan) and I met eight years ago, we both had an interest in plants but were at opposite ends of the skills spectrum: he was a professional gardener, and I was a serial houseplant killer. We started growing vegetables and herbs together (because we’re also both food lovers) and have been gardening together ever since.
For a long time, we’ve wanted to spend more of our time connected to the natural world – and the easiest way to do that is to earn a living from it. We moved to NSW a few years ago to work as beekeepers, and that was an amazing job. Unfortunately, a lot of things went wrong while we were up there and the premature birth of our son led to the decision to stay in Vic where we’re closer to family.
Last year we started The Sculpted Garden, just as a side project, to see if we could build a business based on plants. We began with succulents because they’re so much fun and such an accessible way for people to get introduced to gardening (and they’re easy to post), but now we want to see if we can branch out – excuse the pun! – to propagate and sell other types of plants and work on more handmade planters and garden art.
For those of us who haven't been to your garden, could you describe what's in it?
Our garden is very much a work in progress! When we bought our house a few years ago, it was what an estate agent would call a ‘renovator’s dream’ (aka a dump), and what there was of the garden was pretty awful.
So we’ve done a bit of landscaping, and we’re gradually filling out the gardens we’ve made. There are a lot of natives and salvias in there because we wanted something low-maintenance, and since we’ve propagated a lot of them from seeds or cuttings it’s been very slow going, but so satisfying to watch a garden grow from scratch! We’ve also got a good-sized veggie patch that provides a lot of our food.
Of course, we have heaps of potted succulents around the place – everything from little Haworthias to big hanging baskets of Rhipsalis. We get severe frosts here, so it’s safest to be able to move anything that doesn’t like being frozen. I have started one small succulent garden with some silver cotyledons, different coloured aeoniums, and agaves. It’s small enough so I can throw bubble wrap over it to protect the frost-tender plants if needs be.
My favourite place in the garden is the little greenhouse Rohan built out of recycled wood and windows. It’s full of Hoyas, Devil’s Ivy, and ferns at the moment, as well as lots of tray of leaf babies. It’s where I do a lot of my propagating work, and I find it such a peaceful, relaxing spot.
Your mission is to help people connect with nature and express their creativity through gardening. Could you tell us more about this?
There is now a massive body of research showing how connecting with nature positively affects our health and wellbeing, and the same goes for creative activities. Gardening blends the two, and it’s something anyone can do – it’s only limited by your imagination. If you don’t have an outdoor space, you can create an indoor garden. If you don’t have much room, you can create a miniature garden.
We hope that by helping people to get into gardening, or by supporting their passion for it, we can help them be happier. And, in turn, we hope that their love of gardening overflows into a general appreciation and respect for the natural world.
Your partner is the creator of metal sculptures that are currently available in your shop. Could you tell us a little bit about his work?
Rohan works as a metal fabricator, and while we were living in NSW, he did some work with an artist blacksmith. So now he’s putting his metalwork skills to good use making beautiful things for gardens. He builds metal planters and sculptures, then rusts them using a special technique that develops different colours and patterns depending on a range of things from temperature to humidity, so each piece is completely individual.
I love the little square planters he makes and use lots of them – they complement succulents perfectly, either for colourful arrangements or to show off a single plant. He also makes Echeveria-inspired rosettes, which I think are really striking; they can be hung on a wall or laid flat so that a pot plant can sit in the middle. He’s always happy to make custom pieces too (if he had more spare time I’d be asking him to make so much stuff!)
What are the challenges of growing succulents/cacti in Victoria?
We get both extremes in seasons where we are in North East Victoria – wet winters with lots of frosts and crazy hot, dry summers. A bit of shade-cloth takes care of the summer part for most of the succulents that don’t like being belted by really hot sun, and we have the greenhouse for anything that doesn’t like getting too wet or cold in winter. I have had to move our entire collection on more than one occasion due to the weather or re-pot dozens of plants that got too soggy after prolonged rain!
You've done a fair bit of propagation. What is the easiest succulent to propagate?
I’ve found most of the succulents I’ve grown pretty easy to propagate. I think the trick is to find the best method for each type of plant, whether it’s beheading or leaf cuttings or stem cuttings (sometimes water is better than soil for these) or waiting until it produces offsets.
If I had to pick one, I’d say string of pearls. I just chop off a bit of stem with an aerial root, put the root in the soil, and water as normal – never have any problems with them.
Could you name a couple of succulents that are hardy and thrive on neglect, what would they be?
Sedeverias like ‘Starburst’ and ‘Pat’s Pink’, many of the groundcover type Sedums, Agaves, Sempervivums, some of the tougher Echeverias (like imbricata and elegans), and many species of cactus will all take a lot of punishment, including varying degrees of frost – sometimes they even look better for it. The only thing none of them like is overwatering.
Your plants are all healthy. Do you fertilize your succulents? If so, what product do you use?
We do! We use Seasol, diluted to about ¼ strength, every few weeks during the growing season – it’s great for stimulating root growth and supporting plants’ immune systems. We also use worm castings and worm ‘juice’ (the liquid from our worm farm, not juiced worms!).
Do you have any future projects or scheduled markets?
We plan to have a stall at the Alexandra & District Open Gardens again this year at the end of October.
Thank you Emily for your time and inspiring stories. I wish you and Rohan all the best. Follow them on Instagram @thesculptedgarden for more details and don't forget to check out their ebay and facebook account. She always throws in a little surprise because she genuinely wants to encourage people to get their hands in the dirt. | agronomy |

Hi there, my name is Ali and I am participating in a 3-week via California Heart Watch in Kunming during the month of August. I love outdoor adventures and have recently become interested in organic agriculture. I will have 5 days in Kunming before my intensive starts and would like to experience a day of biking, a few days of hiking/trekking and a day or two of organic farming. I am wondering if you have any suggestions for great day bike rides, great day hikes and an organic farm I could volunteer at and learn from. Thanks! | agronomy |

Imagine having a salad of bright violet, yellow and fuchsia blossoms. Or having a cake strewn with flowers you can actually eat. Flowers are just too pretty not to eat right? And since our flowers have been grown without pesticides, they are quite the safest to eat.
There are a number of edible flowers. You can even grow them yourselves. Just make sure that the flowers have not been sprayed or grown with chemicals. What are some of the edible flowers that we grow:
Let’s start with the most common culinary herbs flowers: You can actually eat the flowers of culinary herbs like thyme, sage, basil, rosemary, chives, cilantro, dill, and arugula. Their flowers are as tasty as the herb, even more attractive.
Next are the real flowers! Among our most popular edible flowers are the Butterfly Blue Pea. The flower has been used in traditional Ayuverdic medicine for memory and its antistress, anxiolytic, antidepressant, anticonvulsant, tranquilizing and sedative qualities. In Southeast Asia the flowers are used to color food or rice.. In Thailand, they use the flowers for a syrupy blue drink. The flowers are also used in Burmese and Thai cuisine, dipped in batter and fried.
We also grow those bright and pretty nasturtiums. These are quite beautiful on the plate and the palate too. They taste peppery and a bit like watercress. You can add these to salads, vegetable dishes and to make your herb butter, infuse your vinegar or even vodka. Then there’s the pansy flower, with its mild and minty flavor. The rose petals are edible too! There are different flavors, depending on the kind of rose variety, some a very mild whole others are quite lush you can use them for flavoring sweets and sorbets. Chrysanthemums have been heavily used in Chinese cuisine and have a pungent, slightly bitter flavor. They can be used for garnishes. Lastly, we grow snapdragons, which have a bitter taste but is used as a garnish.
If you want to grow edible flowers yourself, they are easily grown from seed (except for the roses and rosemary). Just buy the seed packets and grow them in your garden or in pots. Make sure you examine the blossoms well as you pick them, remove any insects or dirt and don’t go overboard. Use them in moderation in your salads and soups and lavishly for garnishing.
The most important thing to remember about edible flowers is to be fully familiar with them. Don’t go around the garden nibbling at everything- some flowers are poisonous and make sure they are organically grown. – David Hirsch

Collaboration on production between multiple farms, for example, will help members to reduce over-production and pinpoint their sales.
- Be part of a community: farming can be a lonely profession. By joining us, you’ll immediately be able to exchange know-how with other farmers and find solutions to your most pressing problems. You may even find lifelong friends.
- Stay independent: the cooperative is run democratically. As a part owner, you get an equal say in all major decisions. Elections for our board of directors are held every year.
How does it work?
The cooperative maintains a percentage of the net sales of products sold through the cooperative at farmer’s markets, through post market sales or via the CSA.
The cost sharing percentage goes towards shared operational costs and infrastructure, so your money is still effectively working for you. Net profits are either re-invested in co-op growth or distributed to members
How do I join?
To become a member, all you need to do is meet certain basic requirements and to purchase one share in the cooperative. There is no annual membership fee or any other cost.
We invite you to attend one of our upcoming member recruitment meetings. Sign-up to find out more. | agronomy |

Graham spent his whole life working with plants. He enjoyed helping his father grow vegetables aged 11.
He left school at 14 and worked on arable farms and in glasshouses growing fruit and vegetables. He was called up for National Service at 18. He volunteered to grow vegetables for the regiment on four acres of land. After National Service he worked in a local nursery, and then with a landscaping firm before becoming a freelance gardener and landscaper.
He married in 1955 and bought the bungalow at Hornchurch in Essex, with half an acre of land, which became County Park Nursery.
Working with Hebes and reading ‘New Zealand Plants and their Story’ by L. Cockayne and the illustrated ‘New Zealand Alpine plants’ by Mark and Adams, fired his enthusiasm for NZ plants and led to his first trip to NZ in January 1977. There he collected seeds and plants and met many people who subsequently gave Graham gave him many more plants, which became a large collection with many rare species not in general cultivation. That year he also won his first RHS Gold Medal at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Three more visits to Australia, Tasmania and NZ followed in 1981, 1985 and 1990, when he collected over 1000 plants new to the UK. At RHS shows he won a total of 26 Gold Medals. He also raised many new plants crossing Corokia, Podocarpus, Sp Clematis, Olearia, Coprosma, Pittosporum and Callistemon, to name but a few. He selected good types suited to the UK climate. | agronomy |

If you are thinking of selling, these hints will get you ahead of your competition in creating the best curb appeal.
Survey Your Yard
Make note of tree limbs that should be removed. The ones that need the attention are those that overhang structures. Hire a specialist to maintain large trees. Rake mulch from the beds planted with bulbs before foliage appears, and refresh the mulch in other planting areas after soil warms. Check fences, steps, and pathways for disrepair caused by freezing and thawing.
Order Tools and Plants
Tune up tools so everthing is ready when things start growing. Make note of what is missing, and order tools for the new growing season. Choose new plants for the garden so that you are ready for your spring planting.
Get Ready to Mow
Get your mower and leaf blower (if you have one) serviced. If you are able to do it yourself safely and properly, sharpen the mower blades yourself. Refill the mower with oil, install fresh spark plugs, and lubricate moving parts if necessary. Clear the lawn of winter debris and look for areas that need reseeding before you mow the lawn for the first time for the season.
Prune Trees and Shrubs
Remove dead and damaged branches from trees and shrubs after these plants resume spring growth. Thin and trim summer-blooming shrubs after they flower.
Prepare New Beds
Clear the planting areas as soon as the soil can be worked. Remove sod, weeds, and debris. Spread your compost or manure over the soil and then cultivate it into the soil.
Plant bare-root trees, shrubs, and early spring perennials.
Apply balanced fertilizer around trees and shrubs when new growth appears.
Start a Compost Pile
Start a compost pile or start a compost bin if you haven't done so in previous years. This has to be turned regularly. This will be ready next spring.
Make friends with your local nursery. They have a lot of free information regarding what is needed to clean up your yard and make it look great. Because of our long cold months, this is the time to enjoy the nice days outside. Not only is it good for your physical health, but you will also notice a difference in your mental health as well.

How about we use some of the fund to buy a land and recruit some people to work on the land, plant trees, grains and vegetables, raising animals etc.
The idea is to totally use Terracoin to create a sustainable environment.
What I need to know is how much it will cost to buy a piece of land? How much extra cost (for example, tax)? Is there any cheap land out there in US or else where? Is there any risk to run such project?

Reflecting on this year’s international youth day theme – “Transforming Food Systems: Youth Innovation for Human and Planetary Health”, I got thinking about the political economy of Nigeria’s agricultural sector. It made me ask – why is Nigeria, despite being endowed with agricultural land, favorable climatic conditions, and a huge supply of human resources, faced with a grand challenge of food insufficiency and remaining a net importer of food? Also, I began to consider some of the challenges that need to be addressed to enable the agricultural sector to thrive and for the country to meet SDG2 which aims at zero hunger for all.
To start off with, when considering the historical-political landscape of Nigeria’s agriculture sector one would argue that Nigeria has been locked in, from the colonial era to basic farming for export and consumption resulting in little development in food processing and other value-chain activities. Also, despite the involvement of different international organizations over the years in funding programs, there has not been continuity from ever-changing government policies and programs from colonial days to date, which seems to have stunted the agricultural sector.
The second factor to consider is the fact that the economic assessment of this sector reveals the fall, over the years, in the contribution of agriculture to the GDP and the fact that Nigeria continues to be a net importer of food. Nigeria has a trade deficit of agricultural goods with other countries, according to a PWC 2019 report. its imports accounted for 73.82%, while exports accounted for 26.18% in 2018. Nigeria’s economy continues to be dominated by oil and budget allocation is below the African Union (AU) agreed 10%. Additionally, agriculture receives less than 4% of banks’ total lending, although the CBN pledged in 2020 to increase the lending to 10% within four years.
The fifth factor to consider is the environmental issues. The environmental analysis reveals that Nigeria has mostly favorable climatic conditions to produce a variety of crops. It has an abundance of land and a well-drained water system that aids farming. However, there are areas of soil erosion caused by climate change and pollutions due to extensive oil exploration and crop damage by pests.
The sixth factor and final factor is the legal landscape. It highlights the archaic land tenure system that prevents the acquisition of new land by farmers. It also shows that the Local Government Council, entrusted by the Constitution to take care of farmers’ needs, must step up their role in creating value in the agriculture ecosystem.
Having conducted a high-level analysis of the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal factors affecting the agriculture terrain in Nigeria, we should now consider ways forward to enable the transformation of food systems. According to Fagerberg, & Srholec (2008) for any form of development to take place a country needs to develop capabilities in one or more of the following areas:
- Development of the “innovation system”
- Quality of “governance”
- Character of the “political system”
- Degree of “openness” to trade and foreign direct investment
Whilst all four areas are critical, the thrust of the policy recommendations for this paper is anchored on the development of a Nigerian Agriculture Innovation System (NAIS) that focuses on SHFs. This will enable Nigeria to attain food sufficiency and achieve SDG2, especially in a post-Covid-19 world.
It is therefore recommended that government collaborates with the private sector and young people to co-create innovative solutions rather than launching top-down programs as were done in the past. There is a role to be played, along the agriculture value chain, by different sectors/actors such as local equipment manufacturing companies, financial institutions, education institutions, transportation companies, ICT/technology companies, processing industries as well as government and international agencies.
Also, the active involvement of the youth will contribute to resolving the youth unemployment challenge in Nigeria. The youth should be incentivized and funded to come up with innovative solutions to solve problems in the agriculture system and the skilled and educated young people should be encouraged to produce innovative techniques, farming equipment, and solutions to improve productivity. To ensure sustainability, the government should take a stake in the funded initiatives, in collaboration with the private sector, to share the investments’ risks and rewards
Another area to be considered in the employment of innovative procurement and local content policies that directs government-owned institutions like schools and hospitals, to purchase agricultural produces from SHFs. This will help empower farmers, combat rural poverty, and improve nutrition for all.
Finally, CBN should ensure that it expedites the attainment of the 10% of the annual budget spend on agriculture and the funds should be used for R&D and capital projects to improve infrastructure across the agriculture value chain. The funds should also be made available to SHFs to fund expansion and mechanization programs.
In conclusion, these recommendations should be considered to enable the creation of the Nigerian Agriculture Innovation System to unlock the potential of SHF’s and solve the challenge of food insufficiency. The expected outcome is that Nigeria will combat poverty, sustainably provide food for its growing population, align with the 2021 international youth day theme of achieving youth innovation for human and planetary health, and significantly meet SDG2 by 2030. | agronomy |

How delightful the plants are as they burst forth with the warmer longer days. It is easy to see why Greek mythology describes the spring season through the harvest goddess Demeter. Upon the return of her daughter Persephone from the deep underworld of winter, Demeter breathes life into the seeds lying dormant: flowers, trees, and plants become her joy reflected through the bouquet of life around us.
Garlic mustard is a perennial weed found in woody forested areas near rivers in the Mid-Atlantic area of the East Coast of the United States. They have a circular stem, serrated triangular leaves that grow in alternating fashion. They grow to about 3 feet high with little white 4 petal flowers appearing in the middle spring.
To harvest, I pick 3-4 leaves per plant. The leaves closest to the top are tenderest, the farther down the stem, the stronger the garlic taste but also the more bitter.
* 1/3 cup packed wild garlic mustard greens
* Handful of basil leaves (optional)
* 1/3-1/2 cup organic black walnuts – the fresher the walnuts are the better the taste. If you are allergic to nuts, just leave out. You can use Parmesan cheese as well.
* 4-5 cloves garlic (also optional if unable to eat aromatics bc of GAPs diet)
* 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
* 1 tsp salt (pink Himalayan or Kosher is nice)
* 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
Blend all the ingredients in a food processor. While not necessary, let the ingredients settle for an hour in the fridge before using.

The discovery was made in the heart of Rome, in a small votive deposit uncovered inside the Carcer-Tullianum archaeological excavation.
The find consists of "a small fragment of peel and a few seeds of Citrus Limon, which were conserved via mummification and partial mineralization," explains the Professor who made the discovery. These remains date back to the Augustan Age. The dating has been confirmed both by archaeological and radiocarbon tests carried out at the CEDAD Facility (Dating and Diagnostics Centre of the University of Salerno, supervised by Lucio Calcagnile).
Other finds include a plant of Asian origin and other native Mediterranean seeds and fruits, including: grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. subsp. sativa Hegi), fig (Ficus carica L.), olive (Olea europaea L.), hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) and cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.).
Moreover, other offerings were found in the votive grave, including a pig (Sus domesticus Erx.) and goat bones (Ovis vel Capra), both of which were analysed by Claudia Minniti, from the Departiment of Cultural Heritage at the University of Salento, and two seabass vertebra (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) identified by Patrice Méniel from the French CNRS.
Based on the seasonal nature of the animal and vegetable finds - September to November - it has been possible to determine that the ritual offerings were presented in the Autumn. | agronomy |

Widespread rains to cause further deterioration in the situation. Widespread rains that fell in late March could allow a dramatic increase in locust numbers in East Africa, eastern Yemen and southern Iran during the coming months. The current situation in East Africa remains extremely alarming as hopper bands and an increasing number of new swarms are forming in Kenya, southern Ethiopia and Somalia. This represents an unprecedented threat to food security and livelihoods because it coincides with the beginning of the long rains and the planting season.
Although ground and aerial control operations are in progress, widespread rains that fell in late March will allow the new swarms to mostly remain, mature and lay eggs while a few swarms could move from Kenya to Uganda, South Sudan and Ethiopia. During May, the eggs will hatch into hopper bands that will form new swarms in late June and July, which coincides with the start of the harvest.
Several swarms appeared in the past few days in Amudat district of northeast Uganda. The situation in Iran and Yemen is becoming increasingly worrisome. Swarms laid eggs along 900 km of coast in southwest Iran that are hatching and hopper bands are forming. The widespread heavy rains that fell in late March will allow another generation of breeding and a further increase in locusts during May, which will extend to Baluchistan, Pakistan.
Several swarms were reported in the past few days, including today, along both sides of the Oman/Yemen border in the interior and on the coast. The March rains will allow swarm breeding in eastern Yemen that will cause hopper bands to form and a further increase in locust numbers. fao
East Africa locust swarms gather as coronavirus curbs delay pesticides.
NAIROBI (Reuters) - Coronavirus-linked flight restrictions are hampering efforts to wipe out locust swarms on the verge of devastating crops in eastern Africa, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said. The curbs have delayed deliveries of pesticides and, at the current rate of spraying, stocks in Kenya will run out within four days, Cyril Ferrand, FAO’s head of resilience for Eastern Africa, told Reuters on Thursday. “If we fail in the current (regional) control operations, because of lack of pesticides, then we could see 4 million more people struggle to feed their families,” Ferrand said.
Locust numbers exploded late last year, encouraged by unusual weather patterns amplified by climate change, and swarms disbursed eastwards from Yemen, with Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia the hardest-hit countries. The first invasion that terrorized farmers in a region where 20 million people struggle for food has given birth to a second wave of insects just as new-season crops are being planted. “They are very active, very voracious, and very mobile,” Ferrand said. “
If we don’t have pesticides, our planes cannot fly and people cannot spray and if we are not able to control these swarms, we will have big damage to crops.” In Kenya, the FAO was now looking to secure pesticides from local sources, Ferrand said, should the delays continue. The spreading of the new coronavirus has forced governments to close their borders, reducing cargo flights and disrupting global supply chains, including the production of pesticides in Europe and Asia.

Sounds like time for a technical & cultural shift. Why couldn't these oppressed people's change to new mrhods of agriculture with direction from science & engineering. Indoor agriculture using hydroponics & aquaculture might solve the problem & deny access to the insect invasion. Growing crops under cover of various unique design...giant greenhouses, perhaps inflated or geodesic...even growing algae & similar crops in long tube farms, might work. What is needed is a resolution in growing methods & nourishing crop types. This might take some time to introduce to traditional people, but it would work to sustain them & prevent a people across many countries from perishing.
seems like end time prophecy to me
Signs of the time. Matthew 24 in Kjv
These swarms are nothing like in the movies or anything anyone can imagine. In the rift valley ( kenyan food basket) these insects are eating a whole mango tree in less than 2 hrs. From the stem to the leaves. N worse the ministry of agriculture has been chained due to corona. We may survive corona but with no food; i doubt
Come quickly Lord Jesus

Blueberry growers, importers and distributors have formed a trade group called The Blueberry Coalition for Progress & Health to argue that there should not be tariffs or quotas on imported blueberries. In a Jan. 6 press release, the group said that 80% of imported fresh blueberries enter either before U.S. production begins in earnest in late April or after it peters out in early September. They said that even though there is some U.S. production competing with imports, even Georgia only sells 10% of its crop before that peak period. But Florida competes most directly with Mexican imports, and Florida representatives had pushed for trade remedies to protect them (see 2009020016). The International Trade Commission will hear from those for and against trade restrictions on blueberries on Jan. 12.
“The domestic industry has earned double-digit operating margins in every year of the time period included within the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation, which compares favorably to broader farm industry benchmarks,” said Joe Barsi, president of California Giant Farms of Watsonville, California, and a leading member of the new coalition.
Dave Jackson, co-owner of Family Tree Farms and another key member of the coalition, said: “Our family has been farming in America for over 10 generations, and we are headquartered in the San Joaquin Valley in California. Our decision to farm in Mexico and Peru, in addition to the U.S., was in direct response from our retail customers to produce and deliver quality blueberries throughout the entire year.” | agronomy |

The different steps require different enzymes: nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, nitric oxide reductase and nitrous oxide reductase, respectively. When nitrate and nitrite are converted to dinitrogen it means that nitrogen is lost from the soil ecosystem to the atmosphere. Denitrification occurs only when oxygen is depleted. Anaerobic conditions trigger the bacteria to use nitrate as an alternative to oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor in their respiration. Denitrification is carried out by a large variety of heterotrophic bacteria, the most common ones thought to be Clostridium, Pseudomonas and Bacillus.

They can be made in the middle of winter and stored until planting time. Kids of all ages enjoy making the seed bombs, planting them, and giving them as gifts.
Gather these supplies:
- Junk mail and scrap paper
- Small molds
- Fine sieve or strainer
Let’s make seed bombs:
- Gather your molds. You want the seed bombs to be on the small side so condiment containers, ice cube trays, and muffin tins make great molds.
Make the slurry
- Tear paper scraps into small pieces—about the size of two postage stamps. Glossy papers don’t work too well, but newsprint and envelopes are great. Discard any see-through windows from envelopes. Newspaper, even if it is printed in color, produces a dull purple-grey slurry. Not the liveliest color, but remember—we’re making seed bombs; they’re going to get planted in the ground.
- Put enough torn paper in the blender container to fill it about one-third full. Just drop the piece in the blender—don’t try to pack them down. Add enough water to cover the paper.
- Blend, gradually increase to a high speed. You want a thickish slurry.
- Use the strainer to scoop out a portion of the slurry.
- With your fingers or the back of a spoon press as much of the water out of the slurry as you can.
- Sprinkle a few seeds on your lump of pressed slurry and knead them into the pulp.
Press into molds
- Press the pulp into a mold. Let rest for a few minutes. As an alternative to molds, you can roll the pulp into a small ball about ¾” in diameter or sculpt it into shape.
- Unmold the seed bomb and set it aside to dry thoroughly.
- Wait for spring and plant your seed bombs!!

Yesterday I got sent some Cypriot Potatoes sent to me from Tesco’s to try out.
As I’ve planned the meals over the next few day’s that don’t involve potatoes.
I decided to make some mini jackets with the potatoes as a little side dish to go with our dinner.
We were having chicken tikka and rice last night and these made a fun and interesting addition, that went down well with everyone.

About These Cypriot Potatoes:
Cypriot Potatoes And Recipes.
Cyprus has long been revered for the quality of its potato crop.
Grown in mineral rich, red alluvial soil under bright blue skies and drenched in sunshine,
Cypriot Potatoes have a distinctive red toned skin, soft yellow flesh and delicious creamy but earthy taste.
They are hand-harvested on the family-run farms in Cyprus to ensure each potato is blemish free and of the highest quality.
Freshly dug every day, Cypriot Potatoes are truly ‘new’ potatoes which are not stored but shipped straight to the UK so they also have a low carbon footprint.
Most importantly Cypriot Potatoes certainly do not disappoint on taste – with a rich, creamy, earthy flavour and perfectly firm texture they are extremely versatile.
From fresh potato salads and crispy potatoes with a spicy tomato sauce to simply served with a handful of fresh mint and knob of butter, their quality will ensure they are the star of any dish.
Supplied to Tesco by Greenvale AP, the UK’s leading potato supplier, Cypriot potatoes are also a firm favourite among the culinary elite including Michelin star chef and Saturday Cookbook presenter Mark Sargeant and top food blogger, author and supper club host Kerstin Rodgers aka Ms Marmite Lover who have both devised some tasty recipes to showcase these very special potatoes.
Below are some recipes by Mark Sargeant using the Cypriot Potatoes.
Mark Sargeant comments:
“Cyprus potatoes are a really beautiful product. As a chef I strive to use British produce as much as possible but when British new potatoes aren’t in season Cyprus potatoes fill that gap and have exceptional flavour and a wonderful texture. They are very versatile and a really top quality product.”
“Mark Sargeant’s Warm Cyprus Potato And Tomato Salad With Feta And Oregano:
4 large Cypriot potatoes, scrubbed and diced
1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1½ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
400 g can of chopped tomatoes
Sea salt and black pepper
1 bunch fresh oregano
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 bag of baby spinach
1 small block of feta cheese
1.) Place the potatoes in a pan and cover with salted water then bring to the boil and simmer for four minutes until just tender then drain and cool.
2.) Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan and fry the potatoes until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside then add the onions, garlic and spices and fry until lightly golden. Place the potatoes back in the pan with the onions and add the tomatoes.
3.) Cook on a high heat to reduce the tomatoes slightly for about 3 minutes then add the spinach. Remove from the heat straight away and gently toss the spinach so that it just wilts then add the vinegar and some of the chopped oregano.
4.) Pour into a serving dish then crumble the feta cheese on top, sprinkle some olive oil, black pepper and more fresh oregano over and serve with some crusty bread.
Mark Sargeant’s Cyprus Potato, Olive and Goat’s Cheese Pie:
3 leeks cut into chunks
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 sprig of marjoram or oregano
500g Cyprus potatoes, peeled and chopped into thick slices
140g Goats cheese, cut into small chunks
500g pack shortcrust pastry
10 pitted green olives, halved
1 egg, beaten
1.) Put the leeks, butter and thyme in a pan, cover and cook over a low heat for about 20 minutes until very soft, stirring occasionally.
2.) While the leeks are cooking, put the potatoes in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and simmer for 4-5 minutes until just cooked.
3.) Drain the potatoes and stir into the cooked leeks then add the olives. Leave to cool, stir in the goat’s cheese and season with sea salt and plenty of black pepper. Pick the marjoram leaves into the mix also.
4.) Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Divide the pastry in two and roll one of the pieces to the size of a dinner plate. Transfer this to a baking sheet and roll the remaining pastry and any trimmings to a round about 5cm bigger than the first.
5.) Pile the filling into the middle of the round on the baking sheet, leaving a 4cm border. Brush the border with the beaten egg, then drape over the larger piece of pastry. Trim the edges to neaten, then press the sides together with your thumb. Brush the pie all over with egg.
6.) Bake for 35-40 mins until golden. Leave to rest for 10 mins before cutting into wedges. Serve with a salad of lightly dressed Cos lettuce.
What I Thought Of The Potatoes:
The potatoes looked felt and tasted high quality, they baked perfectly in the oven and tasted so yummy.
These Cypriot Potatoes will be available in Tesco loose from December and pack as part of their finest range from January.

Posted on June 18 2018
When the kids are driving you crazy and the beach is too far away, it’s time to break out some picking buckets and visit the local blueberry farms.
Pros: you’ll benefit from tired-out kids, delicious blueberries, a great (farmer’s) tan, and tons of delicious blueberries!
Local blueberry prices generally vary anywhere from $2 to $3.50 per pound. According to staff at one of our favorite places, the Ridemore Blueberry Farm, the blueberry crop is still plentiful, so be sure to take advantage of a family trip to the farms!
Here’s some general rules of thumb for blueberry picking:
Be sure to call the locations before heading over. Most farms start operations fairly early, but they have select times for self-picking opportunities. We’ve included hours and contact information for Berry Sweet Orchards and Ridemore Blueberry Farm below, so be sure to check those out!
How to Dress
You’ll want to wear blue jeans or full-length pants along with closed toe shoes in order to avoid any bug-or other pest related perils. , in orde
What to Bring
Always be sure to pack sunscreen, bug spray, and plenty of bottled water and electrolyte-packed drinks.
What to Pick
Make sure to pick berries when they are dry, so they have less of a chance of spoiling quickly. The perfect berries will be dark and dusty in appearance, and will have tight- looking skin (from all the delicious juice). Avoid green or red colored berries, as they are bitter and not ready to be eaten.
When picking them, make sure to drop them into your bucket or bag carefully; they can bruise or get crushed easily. Make sure you don’t fill your containers all the way, because the combined weight of the berries can crush the ones at the very bottom.
Once You’re Home
Keep the berries cool and out of the sun until you’re back home. Place newspaper on your dining room table, and pour the berries on it with enough space to sort through them. Sor out all the inedible parts such as twigs, leaves, and such. If you wash the berries, make sure they have enough time to dry or pat them dry with paper towels.
You can either store your blue bounty in the refrigerator in a short container (to keep them from being crushed) or you can freeze them in gallon freezer bags. If freezing them, be sure to dry them and not over pack the bag; pack them to where the bag is full but lies fairly flat on its side. Now just slide into a freezer shelf laying flat to the berries freeze easily and retain their shape - and now you’ll be able to enjoy them for 10 months to a full year! Refrigerated berries last about two weeks.
Our Favorite Blueberry Locations:
Berry Sweet Orchards (Certified Organic)

Latest Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) data showed rice imports during the January-to-March period were 404,057.065 MT higher than the 581,082.93 MT recorded in the same period of last year.
In March alone, about 414,243.005 MT of rice entered the country, based on BPI data released to the public.
Historical BPI data showed that the 985,139.995 MT of rice imports from January to March is the highest first-quarter import volume recorded by the country since the implementation of rice trade liberalization (RTL) law in 2019.
Agriculture Undersecretary for Policy, Planning and Research Fermin D. Adriano cited two possible reasons for the imports’ rise: the importers’ expectation of tighter global staple supply and the projected lower domestic rice output.
Adriano explained that some wheat-eating countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East are projected to shift to rice due to global supply problems of wheat caused by the Ukraine-Russia war.
Importers also brought in more rice from abroad to replace the projected decline in local palay production due to lower yield, as Filipino farmers reduced fertilizer application, added Adriano.
The DA, Adriano disclosed, estimated the second quarter rice output to decline by 800,000 MT as farmers reduce fertilizer application amid soaring fertilizer prices in recent months.
Adriano explained that the projection was made by the DA’s Philippine Rice Research Institute even before the Ukraine conflict, which impacted global supply chains.
Confluence of events
Monetary Board member V. Bruce J. Tolentino said the rising rice imports may have been a result of a confluence of events — importers’ consideration for the country’s current stock level, trade conditions, as well as factors affecting domestic consumer demand.
“They all need to make money and NFA is no longer a major factor in the determination of market prices. The importers need to decide what kinds and quality of rice they want to bring in, and to find the most competitive supplier from various rice exporting countries,” Tolentino told the BusinessMirror.
“Given the above, currently wheat prices are high, and there is some substitution between wheat and rice, especially in flour and feed. Low-quality rice can also substitute for corn in feed production,” Tolentino added.
Philippine Chamber of Agriculture and Food Inc. President Danilo V. Fausto told the BusinessMirror that rice importers are already stockpiling to ensure sufficient supply amid market uncertainties caused by the Ukraine-Russia war.
“They are perhaps preparing already for the rainy season,” Fausto said.
However, Fausto criticized the nearly 1 million metric ton (MMT) of rice imports in the first quarter alone, arguing that it was against the agreement between the DA and the rice industry to manage imports during harvest season.
Total rice imports could easily reach 3 MMT this year if the rate of volume entering the country continues in the succeeding months, he warned. However, Adriano expects the volume of rice imports to slow down by the second half due to higher prices in the global market.
January 1 to April 14
BPI data also showed that rice imports from January 1 until April 14 breached the 1-MMT level, having reached 1.043 MMT, with Vietnam accounting for 75 percent (780,772.190 MT) of the total volume.
BPI data also showed rice imports from countries outside Asean, like Pakistan increased during the reference period. Pakistan exported 70,957.5 MT of rice to the Philippines from January 1 to April 14, more than double the 25,286 MT it shipped for the whole year of 2021, based on BPI data.
The top rice importer from January 1 to April 14 was Bestow Industries Inc. at 80,115 MT, followed by Lucky Buy and Sell at 42,497 MT.
BPI data also showed the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) imported 3,909 MT of rice in the reference period. The volume is 43.25 percent more than the 2,602.912 MT total rice imported by the DSWD for the whole year of 2021, BPI data showed. | agronomy |

(Image source from: Twitter.com/BJP4India)
Protests Against Farm Laws are an Insult for Farmers: Narendra Modi:- A bunch of Congress youth leaders lit fire to a tractor in Delhi in the name of protests against the new farm laws that are introduced by the Indian government led by BJP. All these three farm laws are passed in the Parliament and Congress leaders across the country staged protests. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a dig calling the attack an insult for farmers. "For years, the farmers were promised of implementing Minimum Support Price (MSP) but this never happened. This is done by BJP as per the report from the Swaminathan Commission" told Narendra Modi.
"These reforms will turn as a strength for youth, women and the farmers of the country. They can sell the products to anyone. All those who are protesting wants the middlemen to earn the profits and not the farmers. The opposition parties are just opposing the freedom of the farmers in the country. The new farm laws will provide MSP for their efforts and the products. They will also bring a lot of freedom for the farmers to sell their products in any part of the country. The opposition parties kept opposing Yoga in the country when everyone was celebrating International Yoga Day" told Narendra Modi. | agronomy |

“After studying international relations and business at the University of Southern California in LA, I returned to India in 2015. Around the same time, my sister, Aditi Dugar and her business partner Prateek Sadhu were travelling around the country to source foraged products for their upcoming ingredient-driven restaurant, Masque. I joined them on their trips in India. What I saw was phenomenal; villagers were eating black rice, pink rice and chia seeds. Each journey was an eye-opener. Why were we desperate for imported produce when we could have seasonal, local, and organic instead?’ says Shriya Naheta, Founder and CEO, Zama Organics. “There’s a lot of fancy imported stuff in the market, but there was little or no access to local homegrown stuff from different parts of the country. Zama Organics was born with the thought of bridging this void.”
"Our objective is to source things that are native to different climatic belts and geographies and bring them to a common platform. All of our fresh produce comes directly from farmers and mainly sources organic produce from Nasik, Pune, Maharashtra, and also Uttrakhand," informs Shriya. "Our staples, cereals, and spices come from across the country. Whether it’s our Assamese black rice or our turmeric from the Konkan region, we are committed to delivering only the best products our country has to offer."
The objective behind Zama Organics was to offer healthier lifestyle choices by creating a one-stop-shop for native and indigenous food items of different climatic belts and geographies. This also meant encouraging more and more farmers to make their food-growing process completely organic. Freshness is of paramount importance at Zama Organics, and the organisation follows a strict harvesting calendar schedule. A list of spices, condiments, vegetables, and fruits is prepared in collaboration with the farmers, and based on their harvesting cycles, they are listed on the portal.
Emphasising on the need to go organic, she says. "The term ‘organic’ refers to anything that is grown as nature intended, without any chemicals, pesticides, or toxins. By choosing to go organic, you are making a conscious decision to adopt a healthier lifestyle - limiting your exposure to toxins that are commonly found in conventionally grown produce. Organic crops are grown in biologically active soils in the absence of pesticides, resulting in healthy produce with high levels of essential nutrients, minerals and antioxidants. Additionally, organic farming practices are far more gentle on the environment. Organic farmers have spent decades developing natural farming techniques like tilling and crop rotation that respects nature, consciously taking strides to build healthy soil, conserve water, and even combat the effects of global warming." | agronomy |

This summer, I wanted a garden very badly. So I picked up my copy of “You Grow Girl” by Gayla Trail, and read the sections on urban and container gardening obsessively.
On my fire escape, I had baby popping corn, strawberries, bell peppers, and tomatoes. They were all doing marvelously, until they all died.
The corn grew and grew until it came down with some kind of nasty fungi.
The strawberries never flowered, and thus never bore fruit, and eventually just kind of gave up and dried out.
The bell peppers were infected with aphids, and NOTHING I did cured them of this affliction. I eventually just threw them away.
But the tomatoes, oh the tomatoes.
They survived, somehow, and even managed to bear some fruit. One fruit, to be exact. This fruit.
It’s looking much more red now, but you get the idea. I am very protective of my little tomato. I put him on the balcony during the day so he can get some sun, and I bring the whole pot in at night when it is cold.
It’s a little ridiculous, actually, but I refuse to let the damn thing die. I’m becoming a little attached, actually. I’m not sure I’ll be able to bring myself to eat it!
In other news, I bought a christmas tree this year. It’s not a real christmas tree, it’s a rosemary bush trimmed to look like one.
See the tag?
I made the cranberry and popcorn garland myself. My boyfriend and I are having a foodie-themed christmas.
The rosemary has already come in quite handy (rosemary potatoes, anyone? Yum!) and I figure if I can keep it alive, I can just trim it back into a tree shape and use it again next year.
The problem with that logic is that I’ve never managed to keep rosemary alive for longer than a few weeks, so wish me luck! | agronomy |

Community Supported Agriculture
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a concept that gained traction in the US in the 1990s, and has grown exponentially in popularity in the last few years. The concept of a CSA is beneficial on many levels, both for farms and for consumers. In a nutshell, CSA works to offer shares to members of their communities for a (usually quite reasonable) set price. In return, the customer receives a box of fresh, seasonal produce at regular intervals, usually weekly or monthly.
This arrangement is beneficial to farmers who work in an industry where it is normal for fluctuations in their business to occur. It gives farmers a baseline of support throughout the year, and can help them with cash flow ahead of their usual harvest.
CSAs benefit consumers by providing them with fresh, local produce at a reasonable price. As our lives get busier, it only gets harder to make time for thoughtful grocery shopping, where you try to get a healthy mix of fruits and vegetables. Eliminating that task is a big time-saver. The unexpected benefit of using a CSA, is that you will likely receive produce that you're unfamiliar with, getting some much needed variety in your vegetable routine! Read our guide to CSA produce, for recipes and instructions on what to do with those unfamiliar vegetables! | agronomy |

Nutritional benefits Nutritionally speaking finger limes are a great source of folate, potassium and Vitamin E and C.
How to grow. Many commercial growers use a hedgerow planting system although trees planted in heavy soils or high rainfall areas can be planted on mounded rows to maximise drainage.
Fruit production can be supported with light fertiliser application in spring. Fruit production usually occurs years after planting and reaches maximum production by 6 years.
Managing weeds is important for finger limes as they compete with the trees for nutrients, can be a vector for viruses bacterial and fungal , as well as attract insects that can cause damage to the plantings and crop.
Before planting, the site should be free of weeds and ongoing weed control will be required as for any other fruit crop. Commercial finger limes are affected by the same pests that affect other citrus varieties though to a lesser extent.
Some pests which impact finger lime production include the spined citrus bug, bronze orange bug, aphids, mealybugs, caterpillars, snails, katydids and grasshoppers.
Preliminary research suggests finger limes are not hosts for fruit fly. Pests can be treated with a variety of pesticides, destruction of infested fruit and foliage or, if isolated, physical removal of the pest species.
Pest Oil is a widely used pesticide which can control a range of citrus pest species. Some diseases which are common to citrus also affect finger limes.
Selection of resistant varieties, appropriate care at harvest time to ensure ongoing plant health and treatments such as copper fungicide are some of the strategies used to manage these diseases.
Infrastructure used to produce traditional citrus varieties is largely compatible with finger lime production. Some of the equipment required includes:.
Finger limes trees typically flower from June to October and fruit is harvested between December and May.
Harvesting is predominantly conducted by hand because fruit is easily damaged and trees do not lend themselves to mechanical harvesting.
Fruit is picked when it changes colour, signalling that it is ripe, as it does not ripen off the tree. Finger limes are delicate and care must be taken to avoid damage as the fruit is handled along the supply chain.
Finger limes are often packed into kg plastic bags and then packed into 2 or 5kg fibreboard boxes. Unique packaging requirements have been developed for some cultivars and new methods are constantly being tested.

The largest importers of Vietnamese tra fish were the EU, ASEAN, the US, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, China and Hong Kong.
In the five-month period, tra exports saw reductions in price and volume in many traditional markets.
The regional provinces zoned off 5,700 hectares of water surface for tra fish breeding and supplied 390,000 tonnes of material tra fish for processing factories.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, local breeders still face difficulties as production costs are higher than selling prices and they find it hard to access bank loans.
To help the farmers, the provinces have sent technical staffs to guide them how to produce tra fish meeting standards for export. They have also encouraged the breeders to apply new farming measures in order to raise the fish quality.-VNA | agronomy |

Organophosphate compounds are frequently used to control flies, lice, and insects of ornamental plants as well as food crops and soil insects. It has anticholinesterase activity, thus, its accumulation in the soil and then in the food crops may cause organophosphate toxicity most commonly through the production of reactive oxygen species and causes severe physiological changes. One of the most important insecticides of organophosphate is the diazinon. It is widely used in agriculture and in industries.
The present study carried out by Fatma M. El-Demerdash from Alexandrin University, Egypt and Hoda M. Nasr from Damanhour University, Egypt reveals that selenium can alleviate the negative effect of the diazinon in the rats that caused different physiological changes.
For this study, researchers took four groups of seven rats in each. The first group (group 1) was designated as control while groups 2, 3, and 4 were treated with selenium, diazinon, and diazinon in combination with selenium respectively. After 30 days of an experiment, during which these rats were administered the respective doses continuously, they found the following results.
In the group, treated with diazinon, the activity of Catalase, Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Glutathione Peroxidase (GP), Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST), and Glutathione Reductase (GR) was decreased. While the serum level of the enzymes likes Aminotransferases (ALAT, and ASAT), Phosphatases and Lactase Dehydrogenase (LD) were found to be decreased.
However, in the group of rats treated with selenium, it was found that the level of Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances was low. The serum level of total lipids, cholesterol, urea, and creatinine was also decreased while the activities of the antioxidant enzymes, as well as the content of the glutathione, were found to be increased. The group of rats treated with selenium plus diazinon, there was partial or complete alleviation of the toxic effect of the diazinon.
Selenium is an essential trace of a dietary element having the ability to scavenge free radicals and protects the cellular environment from the oxidative damage. It protects the structure and function of the proteins, DNA, and chromosomes from oxidative injury. However, it also causes or stimulates the expression of other biologically active compounds like Glutathione Peroxidase (GP) and Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST), etc.
In conclusion, selenium has many beneficial effects. It is an antioxidant and can alleviate the toxicity of the organophosphates like diazinon by itself as well as by expressing some of the most common antioxidant enzymes.

A lot of effort goes into the whole process but the end result is always soothing and great.
Over the years, with the various changes in the traditional form of gardening, it has become a lot easier. One of the tools that is great for gardening is the best soil moisture meter. Soil moisture meters are devices which enable one to get a reading of the moisture content of the soil and one can easily carry them anywhere because of their compact size.
There are a lot of varieties to choose from. While some can get some extra task done, others will only do the least required.
Here is a list of the 5 best soil moisture meters review that is trending in the market right now.
Table of the Soil Moisture Meter

1. Luster Leaf 1820 Rapitest Soil Moisture Meter
This moisture meter is very simple and easy to use. It gives the readings instantaneously and that’s the best thing about this device. It also comes in with a plant list that gives recommendations for proper moisture content readings.
The batteries are included with the set and they have quite a long life. The digital output is displayed in an easy to read format. There is also a mini version of this but that is not a recommended buy for its inconsistent results.
Our Verdict: This device comes in with a set of recommendations which comes in really handy.
2. Etekcity Indoor/Outdoor Soil Moisture Sensor Meter
This moisture meter is really flexible when it comes to taking readings. There are a total of ten scales in this sensor which provides you with a range of readings. The reading system is colour coded making it easier to operate.
Another plus point of this one is that you do not need any power source to operate this piece. The probe is deep enough to probe to the level of the roots and thus can provide quite an accurate reading.
Our Verdict: Quite good and easy to use for beginners. The deep probe and colour coded scales enables proper consistent readings.
3. Soil pH Meter, 3-in-1 Soil Test Kit For Moisture
This version offers one to take three measurements- moisture content, light intensity and pH level. However, unlike the MoonCity it does not allow you to measure the soil temperature. To take the readings, you will need to leave the device in the soil for some time, say about 10 minutes.
To ensure that each time you get a correct reading, the probes need to be cleaned thoroughly after every use. This device can be used both for indoor and outdoor purposes, it works great for gardening allowing you to get a correct measurement of the moisture and pH content thereby enabling proper gardening techniques.
Our Verdict: With its ease of use and its ability to provide 3 different readings it is simply an amazing tool for measuring the moisture content. The only downside is that one has to wait to get the readings.
4. REOTEMP Garden and Compost Moisture Meter (17 Inch Stem)
This one is bit different than the ones listed above. For the most obvious difference, the probe is quite longer than the others styles generally available.
With its 17 inch long probe, you can easily poke it in far deeper to take the moisture content of the soil. However this does not allow you to take other readings such as the pH levels or the amount of sunlight that the soil is receiving.
This simple robust model is quite good at its task, giving accurate readings and making gardening an enjoyable activity. It measure the electrical conductivity that is relative the content of salt in the soil. It even comes in with one AAA calibrated battery.
Our Verdict: Go for this only if you want a simple device to begin with. It is quite nice with a longer probe and easy to calibrate feature.
5. MoonCity 4-in-1 Soil Tester Moisture Meter
This one is an all-rounder. From one single probe, it is capable of providing four different readings. So, you need to stick the eight inch long probe deep into the soil whose moisture content you want to measure. And this will give you the following readings.
- soil moisture content
- pH value
- Intensity of sunlight in that particular spot
The results are displayed on the LCD screen making it easy for you to read. And the results are displayed within some seconds. Even in the sunlit conditions one need not worry for not being able to read the results. The backlighting of the screen of the device solves this problem easily. The MoonCity is powered by one 9 volt battery unlike the other soil moisture meters.
Our Verdict: The MoonCity 4-in-1 Soil Moisture Meter is currently the best in the market. With its ability to take 4 different readings simultaneously it is a good choice. If you can shed some extra bucks, then this is the ideal moisture meter to go for as it multitasks and saves you the trouble from getting other devices to get the different readings.

Roast Level: Medium / Dark
Tasting Notes: Chocolate, Almond and Dried Cherry
Our Resolute Blend is made up of coffee from two origins, Brazil and Ethiopia. It is roasted to highlight Chocolate up front, and balanced with an Almond and Dried Cherry finish. This blend is for our coffee and milk drinkers, but also has a nice full flavor when drinking it black.
Paubrasil delivers the best of a classic Natural processed coffee from the Cerrado and is Ally’s Core Coffee from Brazil. Paubrasil is named for Brazil’s national tree and exemplifies the consistent quality created by Brazil’s seasoned farmers, who use all available technologies to advance production by growing coffees that offer balanced, smooth profiles, despite changing environmental conditions.
Each container of Paubrasil is traceable back to the farm(s) where it was grown through a QR code linking to an online profile compiled prior to shipping the coffee. Paubrasil coffee is transparently certified as part of the Regiao Cerrado Mineiro Designation of Origin program. Coffees certified with the Designation of Origin are grown on farms in an area encompassing 55 municipalities that produce coffees with a unique identity, resulting from the combination of climate, soil, terrain, elevation, and the “know-how” of producers.
Paubrasil’s contributing producers belong to one of nine cooperatives or six associations affiliated with the Cerrado Coffee Growers Federation, have signed a statement of good practices in accordance with Brazilian labor laws, and store coffee in accredited warehouses post-harvest.
Named for Ethiopia’s national tree, Ally’s Acacia Core Coffee comes from smallholder farmers in the Guji region of Ethiopia. The sweet, fruity profile of Ethiopia Acacia Natural is selected to represent the classic flavors of some of Ethiopia’s best recognized coffee producing regions. Our Core Coffees reflect the work of whole communities, and the Ethiopia Acacia Natural is produced by the smallholder farmers who characterize the coffee production landscape of Ethiopia.
In these southern regions of Ethiopia farmers pick coffee selectively, harvesting only ripe cherries individually by hand. Pickers rotate among the trees every eight to ten days, choosing only the cherries which are at peak ripeness. Natural processed coffee is transferred directly to raised drying beds. The ripe cherries are turned constantly as they dry in the sun. | agronomy |

Despite rigorous regulations and best practices, non-native insects, weeds, and plant pathogens are regularly transported into California. Exotic pests may flourish in new environments if imported without their natural enemies. Pest Exclusion operates under the belief that it is more cost-effective and better for native plants and animals to keep exotic pests out of Lake County than to attempt to control or eradicate them after they are introduced.
Incoming commercial and private shipments of agricultural products and plant materials are inspected for compliance with quarantine regulations. Investigators routinely intercept exotic pests during daily inspections at shipping facilities such as the United States Post Office, Federal Express, and United Parcel Service (UPS). Inspections and surveys of material coming into local nurseries, aquatic plant stores, and specialty markets prevent exotic pests from escaping into the environment and save taxpayers the burden of eradication costs, quarantine sanctions, and wildland rehabilitation.
Additionally, our Federally licensed inspectors write the paperwork and inspect shipments of fruit and other host material being exported to foreign countries. Each country has its own restrictions on shipments crossing its borders, and the certificates certify that inspectors have shown the produce or host material meets those requirements.
Any plant and most unprocessed plant products from outside of California are required to be inspected upon arrival for proper certification against quarantined pests and for freedom from live pests. Please contact our office prior to transport. | agronomy |

Mar 20, 2022 · Planting and growing chestnut trees is a rewarding challenge. The results were all the same, the trees died.
A generous amount of top soil will result in better growth; however, chestnuts can generally tolerate relatively poor sites. One thing I keep seeing is to avoid clay soils.
5cm (3in) between the stems and the mulch to decrease the chance of rots developing at the base. In addition, they will grow well in sandy soils, which tend to be more acidic than other types of soils because of their high level of carbonate ions (CaCO 3 ) and their ability to hold water.

This is the time of the year we have to prune all those trees. Their silvery leaves that are billowing in the wind need some trimming. Sometimes, it is a little difficult to find people to do the running since this is also the season to prune for the vines. The climate in this are is perfect for Mediterranean food and faire. It is warm and dry during the day in the summer, and then up to 50 degrees cooler in the evening. Our overall temperatures are very close to southern France. When the averages are compared with the cool nights, our area is a little cooler.
Now, we have had so much rain, and it will impact the flavors of the olives and the grapes. The water from all the rain hasn’t yet soaked into the earth, it’s like a sponge that can’t pick up any more water. The water is just running off, and not being absorbed. This week, we are going to have warm, sunny days, which will allow the some drying before more rains come back to our area. No one is complaining about all the rain, since we really need it to completely recover from our four years of drought. I am so excited to taste the differences in the fruits this year! I’m sure they are ripe with possibilities!

They open a whole can of worms. Debate time!!! Ok. So first, you have to understand there are many different "personal" definitions of GMO. If you want to get really technical from dictionary.com:
GMO definition. The abbreviation for genetically modified organism. A GMO is an organism whose genome has been altered by the techniques of genetic engineering so that its DNA contains one or more genes not normally found there.
So what does that mean in simple terms? Well, it means that there is something different about that plant or animal. Lets take the Standard Rex rabbit as an example. A rare (not normally found) DNA trait was found in two rabbits. Ironically, re breeding those same rabbits never reproduced this genetic trait. So, two rabbits exhibited this rare trait. Those two were the basis of the Rex rabbit breed. The trait is a recessive genetic trait causing the guard hairs to be very short. So why isnt the Rex rabbit GMO? Because it wasnt done in a lab. It was naturally occurring. Sweet corn (heirloom varieties) have been selectively bred for years to create the sweet long ears of corn we have now. It was tasteless with very small ears and used as a grain for flour or animal feed until a few were found with a genetic difference and were bred together. They werent done in a lab.
So, under current definition (I recall it used to say genetically altered, but didnt say engineered), GMO is classified as changing of DNA by genetic engineering. So what is that? Webster.com says:
Full Definition of genetic engineering
: the group of applied techniques of genetics and biotechnology used to cut up and join together genetic material and especially DNA from one or more species of organism and to introduce the result into an organism in order to change one or more of its characteristics
Here it gets to be only my opinions:
Now, here is where it gets tricky. Having had a child with a birth defect I do like the science of genetic engineering. I believe it has a place in our medical society. I believe it could benefit our lives. I also think that if there was a major disease wiping out the worlds veggies or fruits (like the banana crops of the last few years) that genetic engineering would be useful in helping to protect from the crop disease if it was not preventable through other methods. I do not think that genetic modification should be done for convenience. If you want to spray a certain herbicide to kill weeds and that spray is cheap, then lets modify the genetic make up of that crop to withstand the spray. No, I do not agree with that. We have worked hard for 6 years to get all of the GMO canola off our land. Mostly because it interfered with other crops as it could not be sprayed out. As a farmer, there are many many many things at our disposal. I believe they all have their place. There are mechanical means: mowing, pulling up weeds, discing a field, basically mechanical methods of solving your problem. There are chemical methods: herbicides, pesticides, and fire. There are planning methods: rotational grazing, crop rotations, allowing them to become overgrown to smother weeds, heavy seeding to prevent weeds or resting the fields. Science plays a part as the health of the crop depends heavily on the health of the soil. The science wouldnt have been created to help produce better food if it wasnt needed. However, there is a point (and it will be different for everyone) when it goes beyond what is needed to convenience. When you reach that point you risk damaging the whole eco system. For instance. That canola I was talking about. It has cause massive issues in our ditches. Smothering out the natural plant species that could withstand our local environment, causing less food for the wildlife, contamination of heirloom varieties of canola, contamination of farmers fields, this canola honey is solidifying in honey bee hives and causing them to starve, and you can not retain your seed as it is patented. So you spend more money buying new seed every year rather then growing what you already produced. Now, they are bringing in gmo alfalfa, with the same concept as that canola. We have already stopped growing canola all together here. Having dairy animals, I would prefer to not stop growing alfalfa, but it may come to that. For me personally, the risks out weight any possible benefits.
So what about the sprays? There are herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides that are commonly used around here. I have not used fungicides and do not use fungicide treated seeds. Insecticides I have not used in the crops. I have used it in my greenhouse when no matter how many times I washed the leaves or used tape to remove the aphides or used DE on the plants and I still have enough of them they are damaging my plants. I believe that their is a use for each spray, but using them only when needed and using them only where needed I think has been lost. I have mowed down and disced up a field due to weeds rather then spray it. It is not something I can afford to do every year. If the costs of spraying the field outweigh the money I would make harvesting that field, then I will disc it. Your choice of spraying or not should not be taken lightly. I am not going to get into the different sprays and everything that they cause to the human body. I am only going to say, I rather not do it if I do not absolutely have to. I rather mow an area then spray a field. Or better yet, burn it to return all that nutrients to the soil faster.
In short, everything has it's place. It is when we do things because it is easier, not better, that it becomes a problem. | agronomy |

Soil is the key to natural and organic gardening, and the crops you develop will only be as wholesome as the soil they are grown in.
The very first phase in making ready any soil is to know what you are operating with – clay, loam, sand, silt, or a blend of a single or much more of these types of soil. Performing a easy jar take a look at at property or getting your soil examined by a local Cooperative Extension is the only way you will know what you are dealing with. Cooperative Extension Companies normally will suggest you on how to improve your soil as soon as they test it.
Once the floor can be labored in the early spring, loosen a tiny area of your backyard garden to a depth of about eight – ten inches to check the dampness content of the soil – this can just be completed with a shovel or spading fork. best garden hose nozzle If the soil is saturated with dampness from either snow melt or rain, it is way too wet for doing work. A simple test is to just take a handful of soil and squeeze it into a ball. If the ball of soil can be simply be broken by a gentle poke of your index finger, it is dry sufficient to be labored. As soon as you have totally labored the soil, it ought to be free and free of clumps.
If you are starting a backyard garden in an area that formerly was a garden or turf places, take away any clumps of sod and place them in your compost region, or turn them over and expose their root program toward the solar to dry out. This will support avoid any grass areas from getting more than your backyard garden.
Plant existence and seeds the two want oxygen to survive, and the only way they can get this is with a soil that has a healthy framework. A good soil framework is one that will retain moisture and nutrients, and drain well at the identical time. Amending soil with natural make a difference will tremendously increase the structure, and produce an setting that will drastically advantage the microorganisms that live below the area of your backyard. This all demands to be attended to before you start any type of planting as soon as seeds or any type of plant lifestyle has been planted in your backyard garden, there is minor you can do to improve the soil structure.
If your garden soil is like most gardens, considerably less than perfect, you need to boost it. The healthier the soil is in your yard, the much healthier the crops will be that you are growing. Organic issue is the crucial to enhancing an organic gardens soil construction, compost being the ideal decision. When natural and organic make a difference is extra to a sandy soil, it acts like a glue to hold the soil particles jointly, and when added to a clay soil, it works just the reverse. With clay soil, natural make a difference will get amongst soil particles and loosens the soil to allow air and drinking water to attain the root techniques of vegetation. Any time there are no crops expanding in your backyard is the perfect time to amend the soil with organic and natural make a difference, it does not subject what time of the year or period it is.
One particular of the most overlooked parts of a soil is the pH stage. This is the diploma of acidity or alkalinity of the soil. This is a simple test that can be carried out yourself with a test kit that can be bought at most backyard garden centre. As soon as you have the final results of the examination, it will indicate the present stage of pH. If the final results display stages that are out of an acceptable selection for the crops you are developing, the addition of lime or sulfur will deliver the soil into the proper assortment for expanding your crops. Lime will neutralize the soils pH, and sulfur will make it a lot more acidic. | agronomy |

These farmers choose to feed their cows only grass, which is what cows are biologically designed to consume, rather than grains. Feeding the cows grass significantly increases the nutrients in the meat. One can determine the diet of a cow for example, by testing its milk or meat, for specific nutrients.
Regenerative farming restores the pastures and reverses desertification, increasing organic matter and water infiltration, which ultimately ends flooding and decreases the climate temperature locally. You can learn more about this by exploring the resources below.
It is critical that we support these farmers by buying meat from them directly. This allows many farmers who are in transition to meet their financial needs until they stabilize their operations.

Holistic Planned Grazing – holistic planned grazing is not rotational grazing. Holistic planned grazing involves reducing paddock size, increasing ‘mob’ size, or herd size per the area grazed upon, and moving the animals quickly. Both of these aspects result in longer recovery times for each area of vegetation.

Strawberry plant propagators face quite some challenges nowadays. Reducing labour is one, and our systems help with that. Together with Mazzoni Group, we designed a future proof and secure strawberry plant sorting system including Industry 4.0.
So how does our system work? During harvesting the strawberry bare root plants are brought in bulk to the packing hall. The plants are all in a tangle and contain sand and stones from the field. We first separate the plants from the sand and the stones, and thereafter make a thin layer of plants. The sorting of these plants is still a manual job, but we make it an easy task for the workers. Every worker has a safe and pleasant ergonomic working space increasing the speed of sorting and packing. | agronomy |

Between last summer’s drought and last autumn’s miscarriage, I just didn’t do any of the things I’d planned out. The general apathy has now mostly worn off, and I was able to approach our weird little yard with something like interest. Too late to put in blackberries this year. But I got out there and weeded and clawed up the soil around the surviving plants and generally worked myself till I was a little wobbly in the knees.
My mongrel irises are getting ready to bloom. I don’t think they’ll make it to Easter. Oh well. One year, the irises and Easter will coincide. Then again, my irises bloom purple, so maybe it’s more appropriate for them to bloom during Lent?
My Texas honeysuckle didn’t die during last summer’s drought! It didn’t die when a mound of fire ants moved in over it’s roots! It is, incredibly, blooming.
The other honeysuckle isn’t thriving quite as vigorously, and it hasn’t put out buds yet, but it’s still doing quite well. It was a little smaller, and was hit harder by the drought. We’re going to mount trellises to the fence this spring for them to climb, and maybe next year we’ll be able to rig some sort of arch between the two to make a full arbor. | agronomy |

Then come the Colombard, representing the largest part of our wineyard. After that, we move to our red varieties (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Tannat) to make our Rosé and red wines. It is now time to harvest our Ugni-Blanc, Baco and Folle-Blanche for our distillation wines. The season ends with the harvest of our Gros Manseng and the Petit Manseng for our sweet wines .
The grapes are picked up at night to ensure the freshness and quality of the fruits. The juice is obtained thanks to pneumatic powered winepress, ideal to keep the best aromatic potential of the fruit. The wort is then transferred to thermos-regulated vats to start the alcoholic fermentation.
The distillation at Les Hauts de Montrouge starts mid-November and ends late December. It is realized with the wines from the Ugni-Blanc, Baco and Folle-Blanche grape variety. Out 3 alambics called ATHOS, PORTHOS and ARAMIS, in the typical Armagnac style, operate 24 hours a day. They give us a pure EAU DE VIE for us to create all our products of the Armagnac range.

Succulent plants can be described as those that grow while storing water whereby they can be flowers or vegetables. Water and space are hugely conserved when you choose to pot plant the succulent plants. When looking to plant them, it is essential for you to have the right way or method for you to plant the succulents in a pot without necessarily having the holes. This article goes a long way in making sure that you understand how to go about the planting of succulent plants.
When looking at the different pots with drilled holes, you find that it is a great option as the information is readily available on the web. Prior to starting the methods, it is important for you to make sure that you think of the cost of the services so that they are in line with your affordability. You need not be in a hurry to purchase the pots and have them drilled so that it in delivers quality services. Look at the final results with the drilling of the pots and get to gauge whether they are suitable for you or not.
For those that decide to plant them in hole-less pots, you need to know that it is irreversible after planting. It is also essential for you to know that the survival of the plants are solely dependent on how you take care of them and water them. Since there is no drainage, you realize that it is easy to damage them especially based on over-watering part. There are different ways for you to manage the watering aspect and you have to choose the one that suits you best.
As the client in this case, you can choose to use rock layers so that the water is manageable so that the water settles to the rocks below. With the rocks, you are sure that the plants will not take in too much water thus reducing the rotting of the roots. As you embark on selecting the types of rocks, you will get to see that they differ in the sizes and will be different from one pot to another. There is the need for you to also think of using activated charcoal so that it absorbs the excessive water.
Lastly, it is essential for you to think of using a sprayer or syringe to water the plants so that you reduce wastage. When spraying the water, concentrate on the soil and where the roots are instead of the leaves so that the plant can absorb it. When looking at the watering, you will get to see that it is necessary for you to work round the seasons and the plant types. It is only when you are equipped with such information that you can have an easy time caring for the succulent plants.

Worse Than Too Much Rain - Northern Thailand
Most travelers concerned about weather in Thailand ask about the rainy season. Those who are planning to travel to islands in the Gulf of Thailand or the Andaman Sea wonder about the monsoons
Unless you have visited Northern Thailand during the burning season you may not think that burning a little rice-straw is a big problem.But is certainly can ruin a holiday!
Burning in Northern Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia and Southern China is an annual problem and seems to be getting worse.
What to Expect
Air quality in the burning season is among the worst in Thailand. On bad days, visibility is severely limited. On really bad days, it is common to experience eye irritation and breathing discomfort.
Who Burns & Why?
- Rice farmers often burn straw & stubble after a harvest
- Wild mushrooms are stimulated by burning
- Some hill tribes burn to clear farm land
- Many rural Thais burn to clear rainy season overgrowth
When is Burning Season?
- Generally, November to April
- Burning of rice stubble usually starts in with the first harvest in November.
- When slash-and-burn farm land clearing starts the air quality gets worse.
- Then the second rice harvest stubble burning starts.
- Worst months are late February & March
Why is Northern Thailand So Bad?
- Topography and terrain are factors, i.e., Chiang Mai was built in a basin surrounded by mountains.
- Some of the problems are exacerbated by regional and seasonal wind patterns.
- The area and areas of surrounding countries are rice growing areas
- Northern Thailand, Burma and Laos have many hill tribes who practice slash and burn farming | agronomy |

In my garden this is usually around the end of March and the beginning of April. The young tender leaves are great with green and grain salads, potato and vegetable salads, pasta and egg dishes, sandwiches and lots more.
This year everything is much later than usual due to the bad weather we had in the season that we normally associate with spring and new growth. Wild garlic has now gone to seed but I still have one shady patch where the leaves, although a little past their best for using raw in salads, are perfect for making one last batch of wild garlic pesto.
There are a few different varieties of wild garlic growing in Ireland but Allium ursinum, or Ramsons is the one most usually used as a food source.
I sold my first batch of wild garlic pesto in 1998 when I was one of the early members of the Temple Bar Food Market in Dublin. Along with my certified organic herb plants and cut herbs, I also sold a range of alternative pestos and mainly wild food based oils, vinegars, preserves, mustards and chutneys.
Wild food and ‘foraging’ were more of a curiousity than a trend back then. It’s great to see the current revival of interest in our native Irish food plants. Hopefully traditions that were almost extinct will now be passed on to future generations.
These days you will find jars of wild garlic pesto on the supermarket shelves but there is nothing quite like making your own. Here is one of my original recipes.
Wild Garlic Pesto Recipe
75g cashew nuts
225ml extra virgin olive oil (approx)
150g wild garlic leaves
Season to taste (I use freshly ground black peppercorns, no salt)
50g Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Fresh lemon juice to taste
Blitz nuts with a small amount of the olive oil in a food processor. You can leave them as textured or as smooth as you wish. Add wild garlic leaves and seasoning. Blitz again. Gradually add more olive oil until the pesto reaches your desired consistency. Add the cheese, if using, and squeeze in some fresh lemon juice to taste.
Pour your pesto into cooled sterilized jars. Once opened, store in the fridge and use within about one month.
To sterilize jars or bottles, first wash them well, rinse with hot water and allow to drain. Then place them in a cold oven and heat to 190C. When the temperature has reached this level, maintain it for half an hour.
Fairly thick is good for dips, spreading on bread, making bruschetta, and adding to pasta and pizzas. Add more oil to create a thinner consistency if you wish to use the pesto as a drizzle, garnish or salad dressing.
Experiment by using different types of herb leaves, nuts, oils and hard cheeses, depending on your mood and what you have available.
As well as the suggestions above, try some of these..
Toss some new potatoes in pesto. Roast and serve with extra pesto. Very healthy but I usually add a sneaky bit of butter too.
Pizza with Parma ham, buffalo mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, home grown spinach and rocket, and wild garlic pesto.
Marinate some chicken pieces in pesto. Roast and serve with lime wedges.
Jazz up your scrambled eggs. Green eggs would be even better served with some ham!

I don’t know about you, but that’s a lot of time and $$ to me!
In an effort to free up my Saturday mornings, I decided to try Absolute Organics.
Absolute Organics is a unique service that is the brain child of Vonda and Steve Hodun, from Newton, North Carolina. About nine years ago, they were looking for a reliable source of fresh organic produce year-round and decided that they needed to create one!
The concept is pretty darn simple. They deliver organic produce right to your door on a set day of the week. You can choose weekly deliveries or every other week. An easy to complete form on their website allows you to tell them what fruits and veggies you don’t want to receive. (Our only “no’s” were Mustard Greens and Radishes.)
There are no contracts or long term commitments, and you can cancel at any time – or tell them on Friday that you don’t want a delivery the following week because you’ll be on vacation, for example. The boxes of organic produce come in three sizes and prices – $30, $40, and $50.
Since I had a flyer in my mailbox offering me $10 off my first order (code TEN2016), I decided to give them a try on a $30 box.
I left my cooler outside at my front door before I went to bed on Wednesday night, and when I woke up on Thursday, it was chock full of organic produce.
I was amazed at how much fresh organic produce was waiting for me in my cooler!
Here is what I got for a mere $20 ($30, minus my $10 off coupon code):
- Celery (1.5 lbs.)
- 4 large yellow squash (2.2 lbs.)
- 3 enormous cucumbers (2.2 lbs.)
- 3 tomatoes (1.2 lbs)
- 1 large head of cabbage (3.5 lbs.)
- 7 potatoes (2.1 lbs.)
- 7 bananas (2.5 lbs.)
- 1 pint blueberries
- 1 huge mango (1.3 lbs)
- Red grapes (2.5 lbs.)
That is a huge amount of organic produce for a double sawbuck (as they used to say back in the olden days!)
All of the produce was high quality and very fresh in appearance. I also loved the fact that the bananas and mango still needed to be ripened a bit, while the blueberries and red grapes were ripe for immediate snacking. So, I rinsed some of the grapes and filled a small bowl – and found that they tasted just as good as they looked!
If you’ve been looking for an easier and cheaper way to get your organic fruits and veggies, and you live or work in their free delivery area, you really need to give Absolute Organics a try.
I mean, you’ve got to love a company that has the ultra clever Grocery Store Wars video link on their website!
Give ’em a try – and tell them Nancy at Fool a Carnivore sent you their way! | agronomy |

When we started out, one of our main objectives was to be the producer of as much of what we sold as possible. This remains very much at the heart of our ethos today
As well as White Row’s own produce, we also sell as much local produce as we can and are keen to support other farmers in the area. As customers grow more wary of large-scale supermarkets, we strive to be friendlier, serve better quality produce and support the community as much as possible. After all, we are a farm ourselves and supporting the community has always been part of farming. It’s just in our nature. | agronomy |

The aim is to improve the diets and livelihoods of the 600 million people who live in rural SubSaharan Africa. Led by the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), the technical body of the African Union (AU), the young Consortium, founded in 2011, has already achieved great success. It has graduated its first class of African plant-breeding scientists and technicians. It has begun sequencing the genomes of crops on its list of 101 important species. It also has raised significant funding and created an uncommon collaboration of governments, companies, NGOs and scientific bodies to help it reach its goals. | agronomy |

Story Amanda Burdon Photo Mark Muller
As the world stares down climate change and its impacts, momentum towards stronger action is growing and so, too, are carbon markets. Across Australia, every state and territory now has a target to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Many industries have followed suit, and businesses are jostling to offset their emissions. Their stewardship of vast tracts of a continent renowned for poor soils has put Australian producers at the forefront of our climate response.
With all living organic material comprising 50% carbon, every farmer is actually a carbon farmer. More and more are defining themselves as such, making conscious choices to minimise losses or maximise carbon storage. It’s an approach closely aligned with regenerative farming and a means of leveraging a host of other co-benefits that many say contribute to healthier landscapes, more diverse and profitable operations, and community prosperity. Monetising carbon has turned it into a hot commodity.
Queensland grazier James Henderson, with two vegetation-based carbon projects under his belt, sums up his experience. “Carbon farming has built financial and climatic resilience into our operation because I am now a grass farmer, a beef farmer, a tree farmer and a carbon farmer,” he says. “Carbon farming represents perhaps 30% of our total income and we make decisions accordingly, but as the carbon price rises, that will become 50% and probably greater. There will be a point when it surpasses beef and we can derive premiums from ecosystem services, too.”

The genus Methanosaeta represented the more predominant acetoclastic methanogen than the genus Methanosarcina in the 10th-round culture, possibly due to the concentration of acetate as the substrate. The MI-773 (SAR405838) Methanosaeta and Methanosarcina become predominant at acetate concentrations of below 100–150 mg COD/L, corresponding to 1.7–2.5 mM, and above 250–500 mg COD/L, corresponding to 4.2–8.4 mM, respectively ( De Vrieze et al., 2012). In this study, the period of exposure to the latter high concentrations of acetate changed during the cultivation as follows: above 7.4 mM between 2 and 17 days during the 20-day cultivation period in the first round of cultivation ( Fig. 2a); above 4.5 mM for all of the 12-day cultivation period in the third round of cultivation ( Fig. 2b), and temporary exposure to above 17 mM at 8 and 16 h in the 10th round of cultivation ( Fig. 2c). These results indicate that the period of exposure to high concentrations of acetate became shortened. The shortened period of exposure to high concentrations of acetate may facilitate the cultivation of an acetoclastic methanogenic community with Methanosaeta as the predominant genus. | agronomy |

With the development of the light cannabis market, generally describing products rich in CBD and low in THC, consumers are however faced with a wide range of products, within which it is Hard to make a choice. One of the arguments put forward is generally the culture mode. Indoor (indoors), outdoor (outdoors) or greenhouse (greenhouse) adorns the label in large letters. What do these different modes of cultivation imply? What are their advantages and disadvantages ? On what to base your purchase? Weedy answers your questions.
How to grow cannabis, how does it work?
Cannabis, or hemp (industrial as well as recreational), is a annual plant requiring precise growing conditions to be able to grow and develop in the best conditions. Indeed, the annual plants have the particularity of having a short life cycle, not exceeding one year. They are thus generally cultivated for their fleurs, which are rapidly maturing. Once the flowering cycle has ended, the species then overwinters as seeds, before giving birth to new plants the following season.
Atwild state, cannabis plants evolve according to the seasons, and therefore environmental and climatic conditions who accompany them. Many factors come into play in their development:
- Light: natural or artificial, but also the number of hours per day.
- Sun: in the ground of course, but also in pots or in alternative growing media such as coconut oraquaponics.
- Air: ventilation or natural breeze.
- Temperaturee: cannabis is sensitive to extreme temperatures.
- nutrients: chemical (fertilizer) or natural (compost).
- Water: quantity, but also quality (pH regulation in particular).
The different ways of growing cannabis will more or less encourage the control of these different elements. That's what's going favor the choice of one or other of the techniques, according to production needs.
Outdoor, the most natural way to grow cannabis
La outdoor cannabis cultivation is the most natural. It is also certainly the most complicated to master, since it largely depends on external conditions. Even more than the cultivator, it is nature outdoors that decides what can happen to a harvest. Depending on the geographic area, not everything is possible. The hot and humid environments thus offer more advantageous ground for sativa, while the dominant varieties indicates better match colder and generally less pleasant environments.
In countries where the climate allows, outdoor culture is certainly The most common. With the development of the light cannabis market, however, it tends to lose ground. Indeed, this new market being legal, it is growing commercially very quickly. Out of a concern for total control of production, outdoor is essential as a risk culture, which some producers are not ready to assume.
However, outdoor cultivation also has some advantages, especially for the consumer who can thus benefit from the qualities of a plant that has grown with a maximum light spectrum. Natural conditions allow you to fully enjoy of the character and genetics of a variety. For the producer, this is also synonymous with more economical production, thanks to a mode of cultivation rather cheaper than its alternatives.
Indoor, absolute control
La indoor culture is certainly the trend most followed by light cannabis producers. The reason for this is simple: the advisability of a Total control on all the factors presented above. If the concept is enticing, it nevertheless implies a expensive and particularly technical process. What naturally balances in the wild is extremely difficult to recreate in an artificial environment as every detail counts. A simple change in the level of CO2 in the air, or the pH in the water, can thus be enough to disrupt the whole machine and ruin a complete harvest.
Indoor culture also has the extreme advantage of allowingavoid wild pollination. This is particularly important in the case of legal cannabis since cannabinoid levels are then more precisely controlled. rate THC is thus kept as low as possible while the rich in CBD on the contrary is encouraged.
Greenhouse (greenhouse): the best of all worlds
Finally, the greenhouse cultivation allows you to take advantage of both the outdoor environment and indoor culture. More protected than in the wild, cannabis plants enjoy the benefits of the sun, while offering the opportunity to limit external aggressions.
Greenhouse cultivation particularly allows deprive plants of light on demand. The natural life cycle of cannabis is indeed monitored by the sun. Plants therefore need different levels of sunshine during growth and flowering. The greenhouse makes it possible to artificially recreate these light phases. The bouquet of terpenes is thus richer, even if it does not equal that of outdoor culture. Finally, and this is a strong argument, theecological footprint is reduced compared to the technical heaviness of indoor growing.
Indoor, outdoor, greenhouse cannabis: which one to buy?
We have seen it, each culture mode has its specificities, which are logically accompanied by advantages and disadvantages. It is not uncommon to read that indoor cannabis is of better quality than outdoor cannabis, with equally clear, and sometimes contradictory, opinions on greenhouse cultivation.
However, nothing is so simple and no type of cannabis is strictly better than another. The choice therefore ultimately comes down to consumer, and depends mainly on two factors : his needs andexperience sought.
Overall, light cannabis grown outdoors is more likely to have been pesticide contact. However, it takes advantage of the richness of nature. On the contrary, indoor culture offers total control but displays a higher ecological cost. Finally, the greenhouse, thanks to the deprivation of light, benefits from exposure to the sun, while encouraging the production of terpenes and cannabinoids. | agronomy |
