Like many small wineries, Neudorf Vineyards run on a great deal of hard work, good luck, and a lot of fun.
Their belief is that great wines come from the heart, as well as the head. Founders Tim and Judy Finn were self-admittedly fresh from the 'back to the land' movement of the late sixties when they set up Neudorf Vineyards, with the aim of making wines with integrity. In the years that followed, they experimented with different varieties to see which would work best in their soils around New Zealand's Nelson region, finding success in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, both of which have propelled them to renown.
Organics are 'the very heart of Neudorf', and the winemaking team's desire to tread gently is reflected in every decision they make. All Neudorf Moutere blocks are now certified. But Neudorf's commitment to sustainability doesn't stop there: there are a number of green initiatives in place, from switching to lightweight bottles, to composting all winery and food waste, to using a flock of sheep to compost, mow and fertilise their vineyards. Most recently they have added solar panels to the North facing roof of their buildings, producing enough renewable energy to power the winery.
Today, Tim and Judy are taking a well-deserved step back, but are joined by their daughter Rosie, winemaker Todd Stevens, viticulturalist Stef Brockley and a small, dedicated team.

The word organic has become somewhat meaningless, thanks to the excess of acid rain and other environmental pollutants now prevailing. However natural a farmer or gardener tries to be, what drops from the sky does count! But the term organic still indicates that something has been grown in chemical-free ground, so organic products are still worth pursuing.
Consuming preservatives, pesticides, nitrates, and other substances used by farmers is dangerous to every cell in the human body. The major concern is, of course, for children. The Soil Association in Britain has drawn attention to the fact that a one-year-old could easily receive a maximum lifetime’s dose of eight pesticides from just twenty commonly eaten fruits, vegetables, and grains. The association is trying to unite farmers, the Department of Agriculture, and the Drug Administration Agency in an attempt to utilize beneficial organisms and crop rotation instead of some pesticides. Nerve gases are still used by farmers.
They are commonly known as organophosphates. These chemicals enter the food chain via vegetables, grains, and cattle feed, and are also transported by the wind. Many cases of motor neuron disease are now being reported among young children (and adults). Often these are farmers’ children whom I, in turn, see in my clinic. Let us not forget household pesticides and those used in our gardens; these at least could be dispensed with.
The major sources of pesticide residues in the Western diet are meat, poultry, and dairy products. Pesticide is a generic term that includes insecticides, herbicides (weed killers), and fungicides, among other agents. One chemical commonly found in household, agricultural, and commercial-use pesticides is 2,4-D, a key ingredient found in Agent Orange, the defoliant put to widespread use during the Vietnam War.
Frequent use of herbicides, particularly those containing 2,4-D, has been associated with twofold to eightfold increases in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in studies conducted in several countries. Other agents, including triazine and organophosphate pesticides, have also been shown to increase cancer risks. As I have mentioned, pesticide use has increased thirty-three-fold since the 1940s, and there has been a tenfold increase in potency. Dr. Sheila Zahm of the U.S. National Cancer Institute has recommended that pregnant women avoid exposure to all pesticides, which is not easy if you live in an area surrounded by fields being sprayed throughout the year. The fetus is particularly susceptible to geneticdamage, chromosomal aberrations, and carcinogenicity. Infants are also at higher risk.
It is not surprising that staphylococcus infections are much more rampant and that resistance in humans is now really low. Penicillin used to be able to deal with them, combating them successfully and leaving only 13 percent resistant; now the figure is more like 91 percent resistant, the reason being that antibiotic-resistant strains of staphylococcus
bacteria have developed on factory farms because of the routine feeding of antibiotics to livestock. At present, one can expect 80 percent of all farmed livestock and poultry to receive drugs regularly. Milk is also affected by residues of sulfa drugs — tetracycline and other antibiotics have been found. One hopes that the government will step in.
Doctors and health workers are aghast at the hijacking of antibiotics by the animal feed industry. They have been left with fewer resources with which to fight disease as our bodies acclimatize to antibiotics via the food chain, making their use less and less effective. Through the addition of hormones to increase speed of growth and size of animals, our fertility and hormonal balance are being thrown into chaos, producing disease and distortions.
All plant life has a vibration and a gift beyond its physical sustenance as food — both aspects are important. It has been shown that foods grown in loving, positive atmospheres produce more nourishment in nutritional and vibrational terms.
Buy what is in season at an organic farmers’ market or local health-food store. Organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and grains have a very much longer shelf life than their pesticide-laden counterparts, so even if you need to buy in quantity at some distance, you can be sure that they will retain their vitality longer. Store them in a cool environment away from sunlight.
Organic farmers represented 1 percent of British agriculture in 1995, but in the same year they received only 0.01 percent of the $2 million in assistance for farming in Britain; so when I pay a little more for organic foods, I know I am helping to compensate for this lack of government assistance to growers. I am also keen to support those in other countries, including Spanish organic growers, who produce the lemons and avocados that British farmers are unable to produce.
If you cannot afford the extra that organic foods cost, then add garlic to your normal supplies; with its sulfur compounds and antioxidant chemistry, it will detoxify some of the harmful compounds. There are also fruit and vegetable wash concentrates that help remove chemicals, waxes, dust, atmospheric pollutants, and exhaust fumes. For those who are able to do so, growing your own using an allotment or your garden is cheap and fun. The herb milk thistle can also be useful, as it greatly assists the
liver in its detoxifying role, which is essential for keeping pace with all the pollutants.

Passed in 2002, by the City Council of Irvine to convert a 2-mile military landing strip into a metropolitan park, “The Great Park of Irvine”, located at the center of Orange County, hasn’t proved to be so great.
Sadly, it’s now close the end of 2013, and there is really only one site that is always there: A giant, orange, hot-air balloon.
Luckily for us, a new face has popped on the scene, and that face is Alegría Fresh Farm‘s “Edible Eden”.
A little background for those who don’t know, Permaculture, is a type of ecological architecture that proves to combine the ideas of sustainable agricultural design with modern functionality and engineering.
Pioneering this avant-garde landscape are dedicated horticulturists: Dr. Bill Roley (Of the Permaculture Institute of Southern California), A.G. Kawamura (Former Secretary of Agriculture and Innovative Farming Specialist of Orange County Produce, LLC.), and Erik Cutter (Managing Director of Alegría Fresh Farms of Laguna Beach).
In partnership with Orange County Produce LLC., The Orange County Great Park Corporation, and the City of Irvine, this collection of southern California’s most innovative and intelligent agriculturists are blazing trails in the edible landscape scene, by creating a metropolitan garden of the future.
The pictures above show the different types of growing capabilities one has; depending on location and space. Ranging from bleacher-beds, A-frames, and vertical hydroponic systems, each has the ability to grow a variety of plants and/or vegetables using a single “koi-pond-pump” to pressurize the water through the skeleton.
Today, I was able to assist Dr. Roley by re-soiling and planting some lavender, as well as other high-pollinators, to attract hummingbirds and bumblebee’s to fertilize the crops in the surrounding areas.
First, we laid soil that had been mixed with green-waste compost of Tierra Verde Ind., to fill the raised vegetable bed (below).
Then we took some of the green waste compost (below)…
…And layered just the top, of each vegetable bed (below).
After watering the beds sufficiently, until the deepest layer of soil was moist, we started placing in the plants (below).
Below are just a few of examples, of what these future-farming constructs can create when the vegetables wake up!
When we finally lifted our heads after our long-day’s endeavor, we witnessed our own existence, in creating the renewable ‘farms of the future’.
To say the least, it was an incredible experience; And I will be going back soon to assist Dr. Roley, in spawning sustainable landscapes for survivors of the “Thousand Year War”, when the cylons attack.
It is Nov. 7th, of the year 2013. And I’m out.

School 'Educational Visits'
Our very first 'educational school visit', in our new classroom, was a great success yesterday! Over 50 children from Cardiff visited the park and learned about the seasons and what we, as farmers, do throughout the year. Four short films, showing us working on the farm in the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter were supported by practical examples of food and farming products. After lunch everyone went outside to see the 'in lamb' sheep, before having a sit, and their photo taken, in a big tractor! The children, who were a credit to the school, thoroughly enjoyed it, as did Gareth and myself!

How AI in farming can be a panacea to agriculture problemsSeptember 3, 2018
Every now and then, we witness the farmers’ protest. And all state governments and Union government claim that they are working for the uplift of peasants, but the matter of fact is Indian farm workers are still bound to live debt-burdened and pity life.
The agriculture sector, which is considered the spine of the Indian economy as it accounts for 18 % of India’s GDP and provides employment to over 50% of the countries workforce, is under-developed. It is important to nourish and ensure the development of the Agriculture sector to feed an extra-large population of 132 crore people in India. As there is no alternate of foods, no country can afford to ignore the welfare of farmers. Unfortunately, post-Independence, the governments did very little to reform the agriculture sector.
The distress in the farming sector due to several reasons like- drought, flood, no seasonal rains, and bank loans, has set a very disturbing trend of committing suicide. India is growing as a failed nation to take care of its farmers.
According to experts, along with malfunctioning government systems, technology backwardness plays a key role in the under-development of agriculture. Amid the all bad omen, the government’s think tank Niti-Aayog has come up with a very good proposal to make India a powerhouse of AI (Artificial Intelligence) in farming, which will help many sectors, including agriculture. It works as per uploaded data directions with its algorithms. It works like an intelligent adviser who guides what to do and what not to do on certain subjects. However, AI technology is new in India, and we have a long way to go to implement it thoroughly.
For instance, there is a mobile app for farmers which operate with the support of AI technology. The app can scan the quality of soil, water, or seeds. The app maker uploads thousands of pictures of soils, and the other and programmer link a picture with the solution given by agricultural scientists. AI technology also brought some mobile apps that can give real-time weather reports. It addresses farmers’ queries related to farming as well. AI technology requires huge data; the good thing is that leading IT companies like Google are working on cloud computing services, which can store adequate data for the well-functioning of AI.
In an interview with a news portal, MD-Asia Pacific, for Google Cloud, Rick Harshman said that his company is working toward the products that can help to increase the sufficiency of farmers. He told me that Google has a project called Project Oasis, which is a self-sustaining plant ecosystem that reflects outside weather patterns by creating clouds, rain, and light inside a box. Hashman explained Google has technologies like cloud, AI, ML, that will have a big impact in an agriculturalist country like India.
If the technology gets a say in agriculture, the input cost will reduce and subsequently, the output (productivity) will increase. A smart-phone can do what an agricultural laboratory does. With the help of a smart-phone, a farmer without going anywhere can sort out his most queries.

To build specific knowledge of this localised system, Professor Werner needs to know how, when and where farmers are pumping groundwater and applying it to the land. “There are many lessons to be learned from the existing agricultural practices and water management approaches of the Lower Burdekin Delta because they don’t have major water quality issues and they maintain certain efficiencies. If we apply better science to what they are already doing, it can only improve the way they are currently operating, and then we can pass on our accumulated knowledge to benefit other irrigation areas.”
There are many shifting natural forces for the scientists to consider with this analysis, including rising sea levels, climate change and changing flows in the Burdekin River. To help them understand the delta’s complexity, they will use a new state-of-the-art seawater intrusion model that will adopt a 3D representation of the coastal aquifer.
“Think of an aquifer as being like a bank account,” explains Professor Werner. “If you make too many withdrawals, the groundwater drops, and if you put too much water into the aquifer, the mineral salt level leaches higher into the soil with the rising water. If contaminated water accumulates into the aquifer or discharges to sensitive ecosystems, it can lead to negative outcomes.”
“The big picture is about far more than just efficient irrigation. It’s about the ongoing health of a vital water system. It will interlock with other research that can provide a more cohesive environmental solution for intensive agriculture and irrigation areas, which can be applied to areas across Australia.”
Professor Werner emphasises that this project must provide translational research from a multidisciplinary and consultative scientific approach. “The relationships between researchers, farmers and water managers are critical to the success of the project. We are hoping to develop a shared perspective of the longevity of the resource, so it’s vitally important that the science makes good clear sense to the wider community of the region.”

NEW DELHI: In the last one week, the price of urad dal has increased by Rs 450-Rs 850 per quintal in the major markets of the country. Along with urad, the prices of moong, masoor and chickpeas (chana) dal have also gone up. Experts opine that pulses will be more expensive because the urad crop has suffered in Madhya Pradesh due to the incessant rain. At the same time, sowing of pulses has also been estimated to be less in this kharif season than last year. Also Read – More good air days in Delhi due to Centre’s steps: JavadekarRajni, a resident of Delhi’s Mandawali area, said that after the spike in vegetable prices, she used to manage with potatoes and lentils as the prices were low, but now pulses have also become expensive. Earlier, chickpeas (chana) was available at Rs 55-Rs 60 per kg, but now it has gone up to Rs 65-Rs 70 per kg while chickpea lentils (chana dal) is at Rs 90 per kg. The price of FAQs in the National Capital Region of Delhi was up by Rs 450 to Rs 5,400 per quintal from the previous week. The price of FAQ Urad in Chennai was Rs 5,650, UQ of SQ Variety was Rs 6,775 per quintal. In Chennai, the prices of FAQ and SQ have increased by Rs 600 and Rs 525 per quintal respectively in the last one week. The price of FAQ Urad in Kolkata rose by Rs 850 to Rs 6,200 per quintal in the last one week. Also Read – Union min Hardeep Singh Puri, Delhi L-G lay foundation stones for various projects in DwarkaThe price of moong has also increased by Rs 100-Rs 200 in various cities during the last one week. The price of Rajasthan Line Moong was Rs 6,100 per quintal in Delhi on Tuesday. In Delhi, the price of moong has increased by Rs 200 per quintal in the last one week. At the same time, the price of gram has increased by Rs 25-Rs 100 per quintal in major mandis of the country in the last one week. In Ganj Basoda, Madhya Pradesh, the price of desi gram increased by Rs 100 to Rs 4,100 on Tuesday. The price of Lemon Tur in Delhi was Rs 5,300 a quintal and there has been no significant change in the price in the last one week. During the crop year 2018-19 (July-June), the total production of all pulses was estimated to be 234.8 lakh tonnes, while traders indicated that the total consumption of pulses in the country was around 240 lakh tonnes. Not only this, in the current crop year 2019-20, the production of Kharif pulses could be 82.3 lakh tonnes in 2019 as compared to 92.2 lakh tonnes in 2018. President of the All-India Dal Mill Association, Suresh Agarwal said that the government agency National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India Ltd (NAFED) has a full stock of red gram and Bengal gram and also the new crops of red gram will arrive in November-December.

Plant-specific protein kinase SnRK2s play essential roles in response to several
October 1, 2017
Plant-specific protein kinase SnRK2s play essential roles in response to several environmental stimuli. leading to significant decrease in grain produce. In the situation of climate transformation, mining and usage of essential genes conferring tolerances to abiotic tension is undoubtedly a good way to ensure a higher and stable produce in whole wheat. However, common whole wheat is normally a hexaploid types (AABBDD) with an extremely large and complicated genome (17.9 109 bp), enriched in abundant do it again sequences (about 86%) (Varshney et al., 2006), therefore it really is still a significant challenge to straight isolate a gene and additional decipher its function on the molecular level, although three genome drafts of diploid and hexaploid whole wheat have been built (Jia et al., 2013; Ling et al., 2013; International Whole wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium [IWGSC], 2014). Marker associate selection (MAS) predicated on top notch allele pyramiding is known as a potential method of whole wheat improvement for complicated traits. As the 3rd era molecular marker, one nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) highlighted with high plethora and stability, price performance, and high-throughput credit scoring, has been trusted in place heredity and mating (Collard and Mackill, 2008; Wang et al., 2015). Using the advancement of high thickness SNPs and various other molecular markers, association evaluation has become a competent tool to recognize the partnership between markers or polymorphism sites of focus on genes and features, and continues to be successfully found in (Nemri et al., 2010), grain (Agrama et al., 2007), maize (Thornsberry et al., 2001; Li et al., 2010), and whole wheat (Zhang et al., 2015; Li et al., 2016). Mining causative molecular polymorphisms and developing useful markers are key to stacking excellent alleles of essential genes in hereditary improvement of vegetation using MAS strategies (Wang et al., 2016). To facilitate usage of in whole wheat molecular mating by MAS, our analysis mainly focused on: (i) isolating and characterizing three genomic sequences of in keeping whole wheat, (ii) determining polymorphism sites and developing useful markers in by association evaluation, (iv) disclosing the distribution of chosen genotypes in types released in various years and physical conditions in China. The full total results can provide valuable information for wheat improvement. Materials and Strategies Plant Components and Dimension of Agronomic Features and Stem Water-Soluble Sugars Common whole wheat cultivar Hanxuan 10 with extraordinary tolerance to drought tension was employed for genomic series isolation of and gene framework evaluation. Twelve accessions of varied whole wheat types, including three A genome accessions (markers. People 2 was generally in the Chinese language whole wheat mini-core collection representing a lot more than 70% from the hereditary diversity of the full total Chinese language germplasm collection; People 3 originated from the Chinese language whole wheat primary collection (Hao et al., 2008; Hao et al., 2011). Both populations (2 and 3) including genotypes from all of the 10 Chinese language whole wheat production zones had been chosen from 23, 705 accessions released or gathered in China (Zhang et 246146-55-4 manufacture al., 2002; Dong et al., 2003; Hao et al., 2008). People 1 was planted in 10 conditions (calendar year site water routine combos) including Changping (11613E, 4013N), Beijing, this 246146-55-4 manufacture year 2010 and 2012, and Shunyi (11656E, 4023N), Beijing, this year 2010, 2011, and 2012. The field Bmpr2 tests were grown up under well-watered (WW) and drought-stressed (DS) regimes. The WW plots had been irrigated with 750 m3 ha-1 (75 mm) at each of pre-overwintering, booting, flowering, and grain filling up levels (total 300 mm used as irrigation), while DS plots had been rain-fed. The rainfall through the developing seasons had been 131 mm this year 2010, 180 mm in 2011, and 158 mm in 2012. Assessed agronomic features included 1,000-grain fat (TGW), place elevation (PH), peduncle duration (PLE), amount of penultimate node (LPN), spike duration, variety of spikes per place, final number of spikelets per 246146-55-4 manufacture spike, variety of sterile spikelets per spike, and grain amount per spike. Stem water-soluble sugars (SWSC) are a 246146-55-4 manufacture significant carbon supply for grain completing whole wheat. They are comprised of fructans generally, sucrose, blood sugar, and fructose, with the primary reserve as fructans on the past due stage of WSC deposition (Ruuska et al., 2006). We attained SWSC data of People 1 under DS and WW circumstances. SWSC were assessed by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (MAP multi-purpose FT-NIR analyzer) as previously defined (Wang et al., 2011). Five primary stems had been cut 1 cm above the earth surface on the flowering, mid-grain filling up (2 weeks after flowering), and maturity levels. Leaf blades had been removed from examples, and stem examples were trim into two parts, specifically, peduncle, and the low.

Meet gentle giant, Seamus, a black Suffolk Punch cross cob and his companion Maia, a white Dutch Warmblood – the new residents in the field near Spratt’s Green.
They moved in soon after their owners Rick and Andrea Morris bought the 4.7 acres of land at auction in November 2018. The couple bought the field to keep the horses nearer to their home in Brampton and are planning to get some Angora goats “to manage the pasture” as well as provide fleece for mohair.
“Our first impression of the field was that it needed a lot of work,” said Rick. “We’re very new to this and learning as we go along, but we hope to restore the field to a healthy pasture and a safe place for our animals.”
Rick, 51, a maintenance technician at the railway depot in Norwich, spent the winter months erecting stock fencing around the plot to stop the horses straying, and draining the field. There is also a plan to restore the pond.
“The original pond had become blocked off and was in a sorry state. We’re very keen on encouraging wildlife and ducks but need to make the field more habitable. That’s where the goats come in. They will graze the grass which saves on spraying it with weed killer and is more eco-friendly.”
Andrea, 41, is a veterinary nurse and owner of Pawfect Hydrotherapy, a treatment practice to rehabilitate arthritic dogs and helps Rick in her spare time.
“We’re both passionate about animals and the horses need care; Seamus has arthritis and Maia has problems too,” said Andrea. “The field is basically a place to keep our pets so we plan to make it look good and secure, and to get the water back to a more healthy condition.”

On Ungolden Pond
Well, I have finally gotten rid of the mosquito-larva-laden pond in our front yard. It had a pump in it that got clogged up every two weeks, which meant it was continually clogged because I was too lazy to clean it that often. So, it got algae and scum and was not very pleasant. Though I was probably providing habitat for many creatures, I think it was not so healthy for the human creatures that lived nearby. (ie. us!)
So I pumped out all the water onto the front lawn — why let it go down the drain? Might as well water the lawn — and ripped out the plastic pond liner that the previous owners had put in there. Rather than throw it out into the landfill, I put it up for grabs on Freecycle, and it was snapped up in no time by a grateful single mom whose son always wanted a little gurgling pond in their yard. (The son better stretch well before he starts digging, because that’s a big pond and will take a lot of digging!)
Here is a view of the old pond liner that I gave away on Freecycle.
The Compost Pit
But now I am left with a hole in the exact shape of the liner above. How to fill this hole. I need dirt. Cheap Dirt. Hmm… where can I get some dirt?
Wait! I know! Now I can kill two birds with one stone. This hole in the ground will become my new compost pit. Once the items have decomposed into compost, the compost can just stay where it is and be the dirt that fills the hole and becomes part of the lawn.
Only problem is, I have never composted before. So, I did some research.
What I found is an awesome free book on Project Gutenberg by Steve Solomon called “Organic Gardener’s Composting“. It is very detailed and illuminating.
However, it is also long, so I’ll try to summarize it here. If you are going to compost yourself, I would definitely recommend reading the whole book for a full explanation of the “why” behind everything. Otherwise, if you are merely curious about the really bare basics, just read on.
Carbon and Nitrogen
Carbon and nitrogen are two elements that form the basis for many compounds used by plants.
Carbon is used to create carbohydrates, which are sugars, starches, cellulose and lignin which form the energy storage mechanism and the structure of many plants. They are also transformed into fats and oils from there. Carbohydrates are made by plants via photosynthesis from carbon dioxide in the air, water, and light energy from the sun. Plants can make these very easily. They can also get some of their carbon from the ground.
Nitrogen is used by plants to create proteins from amino acids that are composed partly of that nitrogen. However, nitrogen cannot be “fixed” from the its gaseous form in the air (N2) into a solid form usable by plants as easily as carbon can. Instead, plants have to get their nitrogen from somewhere else. Some plants get their nitrogen from various single-celled organisms that fix nitrogen into a form that plants can use. Some plants, like beans, even create an environment for these organisms to grow around their roots. Other plants need to absorb their nitrogen from their surroundings in the form of composted materials that happen to be near their roots.
The Carbon/Nitrogen Ratio
The most important thing to think about in compost is the carbon/nitrogen ratio of the stuff you are putting in your compost heap. You want to achieve the ideal of 25 units of carbon to 1 unit of nitrogen. If you do, the compost will degrade nicely and form healthy, high-quality fertilizer for plants with enough carbon and nitrogen for the plants to thrive. The final, stable compost will have a ratio of about 12.5 to 1 because some of the carbon is “burned” off by the composting organisms to get their energy.
Most things have both carbon and nitrogen, but some are very lopsided in one way or another. For example, sawdust and wood are almost all carbon with a ratio of between 100 and 400 to 1. Urine is almost all the way on the other side of the scale with a ratio of 3 or 5 to 1. To balance it out, you need to mix a little of both to achieve the 25 to 1 ideal.
Finding the carbon/nitrogen ratio of any particular piece of material is impossible without taking it to a lab for analysis. Even within a particular type of material, it depends on how that material was grown and what happened to it afterwards. For example, grass clippings from your lawn may have anywhere between 15 and 40 to 1 depending on the time of year and how much and which fertilizers you put on it.
Because of that, it is easier for the home composter to lump types of material into 5 general classes with average ratios that represent everything in the class:
- High Carbon Materials – these materials have a ratio of 100 to 1 or more. Certain things like hardwoods can even be as high as 400 to 1.
- Medium Carbon Materials – these materials are in the range of about 50 to 1
- Balanced Materials – these materials are in the range of about 25 to 1, and are in the right range already.
- Medium Nitrogen Materials – these materials are in the range of about 12 to 1
- High Nitrogen Materials – these materials have a ratio of 6 to 1 or less
Here is a short list of materials and the classes they are in. This is not an exhaustive list! I will be making a separate page with a large list of materials as I find them.
|dried brown grass clippings
dried corn stalks
low quality hay
|green grass clippings
top quality hay
The trick then is to mix these things in the right way to generally achieve about 25 to 1.
If you do not mix them in the right way, you will still get compost that looks and smells the same as regular compost, but it will not have the right mix of nutrients or nitrogen for the plants. I found out that the municipal solid waste compost I was advocating in an earlier post comes mostly from balanced to high carbon sources, which are basically all the garden wastes from everyone’s yards. These are green and dried grass clippings, dried plants, fallen dried leaves, branches and wood clippings. Basically, it is everything you throw into the green bin when taking care of your yard and garden. All of those things are heavier on the carbon side than on the nitrogen side. This means that the compost is actually lower quality than it could be, and does not provide enough nitrogen to the plants to be a good fertilizer.
To achieve the right ratios, you should put the materials together with the following ratios:
For every unit of high or medium carbon material you put into the compost, put in 24 times as much medium nitrogen or 8 times as much high nitrogen materials to balance it out.
Alternately, you could say:
For every unit of medium nitrogen material you put in, put 4% of a unit worth of high or medium carbon material to balance it out.
For every unit of high nitrogen material you put in, put in 12% of a unit worth of high or medium carbon material to balance it out.
In terms of the balanced materials, you can put in as much as you want, as long as all the other carbon materials are balanced by the nitrogen materials.
When I say “unit” in the above sentences, I mean any type of weight unit like pounds or kilograms. The unit doesn’t matter as much as the ratio between them and that you use the same unit of measurement for everything.
The acidity level for compost should be right about neutral. (ie. pH of 7). Many foods, especially fruits, are very high in acid (pH < 7), and create an unbalanced mix. Check out the list of the acidity of various foods on the FDA web site. To combat too much acidity, you can add in alkaline foods such as lima beans, egg shells, frozen cooked corn, or even a little baking soda (not baking powder). Be careful how much!
You may have seen the NPK measures on regular inorganic fertilizer at the store. These are the measure of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (symbol K) in the fertilizer. These “macronutrients” are most needed for plant development, but so are a wide variety of “micronutrients” that occur in far smaller concentrations. Inorganic fertilizers have many problems that I won’t go into, but one in particular is the focus on the macronutrients. Eventually, if you only replace the macronutrients in the soil year after year, all the micronutrients will get used up by those years worth of crops, and you will eventually get a very unhealthy soil.
Compost can have all the nutrients, macro and micro. The easiest way to achieve this is to just put in a variety of foods into your compost. Mostly, it will come out right by itself. (This is also healthy for you because it means you are eating a variety of foods at home!) However, if you have a large amount of one particular food in the compost, then you will usually run into problems of too much of some nutrients and not enough of others. Variety is the spice of compost, as well as life!
The bacteria in compost need water to thrive. The compost should be somewhat wet like a damp cloth. Add in a little bit of water each time you throw in some more food, and perhaps on hot, dry summer days as well.
There are two types of composting: aerobic, and anaerobic. Both will produce a similar compost using the same feedstocks, but the aerobic compost will smell a heck of a lot better as it is composting. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t an extremely pleasant smell until it gets near the end, but it is a lot better than the anaerobic composting. Also, aerobic composting is usually faster.
So, you need to turn the compost every few days to introduce new air and new oxygen. Various manufacturers sell “tumbling” composters that can be spun on a hinge or axis. They are expensive (like $250), but work very nicely and easily if you can afford them. I’m planning in the future to make one for myself out of recycled/reused materials. But, that’s for a future posting!
There are some things you should not put into the compost at home:
- Meat and fish scraps, including foods made with meat like spaghetti sauce. These make for great nitrogen materials because they contain lots of proteins. However, there are a number of problems with them. First, when they break down (ie. putrify), they smell EXTREMELY bad due to the creation of putrescine and cadaverine. Anyone who has ever smelled a decaying dead body before knows what I mean. Second, they will also attract pests such as rats and raccoons that will dig through your compost and make a complete mess in your yard. Third, the putrefying meat can be a harbour for bacteria and diseases, so you cannot put the resulting compost on any edible plants in your garden. If you have a completely secure and closed off vessel to compost the meats (concrete?), or if you live on a farm, and you are only using the compost on ornamental plants, then you can compost the meat. Otherwise, if you are composting at home, trust me. Just avoid the meat.
- Oils. Oils go rancid and smell. The smell is not as bad as the meat, but it can get bad. More importantly, oils break down very slowly and the rest of your compost will be done before the oils in it are.
- Human feces. Just don’t do it. For one thing, it stinks. This is not even good on your ornamentals because of the human diseases it can harbour such as E. Coli. If you want to compost your own wastes, there are composting toilets for that purpose which guarantee that the composting happens hot enough to kill all these diseases.
- Diseased plants. Some diseases can survive the composting process and infect your other plants when you use it as fertilizer.
- Weeds with seeds in it. This is because the seeds will survive if the compost doesn’t get hot enough, and you will be sowing a new batch of weeds in your garden when you’re done.
- The roots of underground creeper plants, unless they are thoroughly pureed somehow. These resist composting and will grow new plants. Example: bamboo. That is nasty stuff that is very difficult to kill.
- Anything that is not organic or was not alive at one time. This includes all glass, plastics and metals, except for plastics made from starches which are designed to be biodegradable.
- Solid wood, twigs, sticks, and bark. These are actually okay in the compost, but they break down by fungii so slowly that they don’t really add much to your compost. The rest of the compost will be done long before the wood is.
- Glossy magazines. The paper has too many contaminents in it. Regular paper, especially newsprint, is fine because it is usually printed with soy inks that are biodegradable, but avoid those perfume-laden glossies.
- Glossy paper plates. These are usually made with a thin layer of plastic to protect the paper from getting waterlogged and falling apart, and the plastic of course never breaks down. If you want to compost your paper plates, there are a variety of brands that advertise that they are compostable and they are made only of paper and no plastic.
How It’s Gone So Far
Well, since writing the earlier parts of this article, it has rained very heavily where we live. Unfortunately, that meant the ground got water logged, and the pit became a pool again which only drained slowly as the ground dried out again. This meant all the food was buried under a foot of water or so, which means anaerobic composting started up. YUCK-O. It smells really bad now. I have stopped adding food to the pit and covered it with leaves and dried grass from the yard. This successfully insulated us from the smell. I thought the rainwater would just absorb into the ground. I didn’t realize it would just stay there if it rained enough.
So, I have co-opted an old plastic garbage can I had lying around. Now all the food goes there. There are air holes poked in the top, and I can roll the can around on the ground to mix everything and introduce air. This has gone very well, and is a heck of a lot cheaper than one of those tumbling composters.
The smell is very light. Standing right beside the can, I can’t smell anything odd most of the time. I have to open the lid before I get the bad food smell. It looks right too. Much of the older food is turning brown and black, though it may be due to the coffee grounds. There are lots of fruit flies and other insects in there, which is good, as they are part of the process of breaking down foods.
The plan is to compost all the food, then fill the pit the rest of the way with a mix of compost and dirt. Surprisingly, after only 5 weeks of adding food to the can, it is now 1/3 full. We eat a lot at home, it seems. I think I may need more cans in the future for making compost for my garden! I also have to remember next fall to store some dried leaves and plants to use as the “carbon” for next year’s compost.

The main products sold at this event are FAMU gear, clothing items, and accessories.
Well, two students decided to use Friday as an opportunity to bring awareness to plant health by hosting their first plant pop-up.
Plant enthusiast Chelsea LaFrance, a fourth-year cardiopulmonary science student from Atlanta, and Nia Thomas, a fourth-year music student from Jacksonville, partnered to give away seventy free plants at last week’s set Friday as well as sell a select few plants.
The two met at a hair appointment and instantly connected over their love for plants and plant care.
“Chelsea was doing my hair, and I saw all the beautiful plants she had in her house,” Thomas said. “The entire time, we talked about plants which inspired us to collaborate on a plant pop-up to spread knowledge to other people.”
Plant care has been a big part of their lives, and they wanted to share their love and knowledge for plants with the campus.
“I wanted to give back to the community, and I know how much joy I have taking care of my plants that I wanted to share with other people,” La France said. “Because I have so many people who come up to me asking for plant tips, I thought it was the perfect way to give people the opportunity to become plant parents.”
Thomas said she wants to inspire people to live more intentional lives by sharing what she loves to do in a digestible way for everyone to understand.
“We love plants so much, and we know other people love plants as well, but they are intimidated by which plants to buy first or how to care for them,” Thomas said. “So, we got the easiest plants that are hard to kill and provided plant care cards to go with them so that you can become the plant parent you want.”
After graduation, LaFrance plans to pursue plant care full-time by opening a nursery.
“My future goal is to own my plant nursery and then do plant interior design where I can go into people’s homes and help pick out the perfect plants for their home,” LaFrance said. “I also want to have my holistic medicine product line.”
The event was a huge success as all the plants sold out. Desiree Williams, a fourth-year cardiopulmonary science student, said she was delighted with the event.
“The experience has been excellent. Chelsea and Nia are very knowledgeable about the plants, and they both have been helpful with guiding people to the right plant for their lifestyle,” Williams said.
LaFrance said they plan on having another plant pop up on the set soon and other off-campus events.
“We are hoping to do another set pop up as well as plan a bigger event where more people from the community can come out and learn about plant care,” LaFrance said.

The Changing World of Farming in Brexit UK
عبر:: Michael Winter , Matt Lobley , Rebecca Wheeler
- The 2016 referendum resulted in a vote for the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union. This has led to frenzied political debate across the whole spectrum of policy, and agriculture is no exception. For the first time in a generation, the future of agriculture is unclear and unfettered by the constraints and incrementalism of the Common Agricultural Policy. This book makes an empirical contribution to the Brexit debate, bringing a social dimension to agri-Brexit and sustainable agriculture discourses. Understanding the social in the context of farmers is vital to developing a way forward on food security and agricultural sustainability. Farmers are the recipients of the market and policy signals that link to global uncertainties and challenges. This book is a commitment to understanding farmers as occupiers and managers of land. Chapters in this book explore farmers’ own aspirations and knowledge about patterns of land use and production, which underpin discussions around the environment and sustainability. There is a deficit in understanding what kind of agricultural industry we now have, following years of restructuring and repositioning. This book is an attempt to address that deficit and will appeal to students and researchers exploring agriculture, food politics and rural sociology.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – For years companies such as Syngenta, BASF, Bayer Crop Science, Monsanto and Novozymes, working closely with the state government and other groups, have created a thriving biotech industry in North Carolina. In fact, nearly 70 ag-biotech firms already employ approximately 4,000 workers
in North Carolina. To support research and development for the ag-biotech sector, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., along with help from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center, is building the Alexandria Ag-Tech Center, a research and development facility near Research Triangle Park.
The 50,000-square-foot Alexandria Ag-Tech Center will feature an 18,000-square-foot greenhouse research area that will be divided into individual greenhouse modules, support areas and other amenities for multiple biotech tenants. Each greenhouse facility will feature separate environmental controls, planting and support areas.
“As complex environmental issues – like the growing world population, limits to world food supply, shrinking natural resources, and the need to develop green technologies – become increasingly urgent, the new Ag-Tech Center along with North Carolina’s commitment to education, innovation and agribusiness will ensure that our state plays a vital role in tackling those challenges,” said Governor Bev Perdue.
“Alexandria is excited to be working with the State of North Carolina on this unique project,” said Oliver Sherrill, vice president and regional market director at Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. “Agricultural biotechnology holds great promise for sustainable agriculture, improved human health, and clean energy. The Alexandria Ag-Tech Center will provide ag-biotechnology companies with unprecedented access to state-of-the-art greenhouse facilities for research, accelerating their growth, and further strengthening North Carolina’s position as a leader in ag biotechnology.”
The Alexandria Ag-Tech Center is one of several current projects being directed by the North Carolina Biotechnology Center’s AgBiotech sector.
“We see a vast potential in ag-biotech to broaden our economic base and create jobs,” said Norris Tolson, president and CEO of the Biotech Center. “When you look at the whole range and breadth of what agriculture can do for us in North Carolina, it is well beyond just food on the table.”

We currently have a small number of openings available in our CSA. Get in touch if you are interested in joining, or print the sign-up form here and mail it in!
What is a CSA?
Community Supported Agriculture is a way for people to buy local food directly from farmers in their community. Members pay in advance for a “share” of the harvest and receive a weekly assortment of veggies. This model allows the farmer and members to share the risks and bounty of each growing season.
It’s fun! CSA’s connect you to other people in your community–including your farmers–through food. What better way? Your share will contain a diverse assortment of produce that is ripe for harvest that week, and there are also some crops available for u-pick such as flower and string beans.
Shares run for 22 weeks from June to November. We offer CSA shares on a sliding scale basis. Full shares are $700 to $900, with an average share price of $800. Half shares are $450 to $650, with an average share price of $550. Those who are able to pay at the higher end of the scale allow us to offer shares to those with more limited resources. What you pay is up to you.
We want this to work for our community! If the price is a barrier, please contact us. We offer payment plans and also have scholarship shares available.
If you want to support a more robust and equitable local food community in Pine Plains, you can donate towards our CSA scholarship fund! Contact us for more details.
CSA pick-ups are held weekly on the farm, on Saturday mornings from 8 to 11 AM.
Click here for a sign up form! Print it out, fill it out, and send it in with a check. Checks should be made out to Full Circus Farm, LLC and mailed to: Full Circus Farm, 27 Mils Path, Pine Plains, NY 12567.

The vineyard gable trellis post is made with hot rolled steel. It’s “Y” shape, some people also called it “V”shape.
Trellis poles are an essential part of growing beautiful and healthy grapes.
They also serve many other purposes. Grape vines become heavy after they start bearing fruit.
Trellis offers better support when vine is trained, and it grows up on the wires as well as supports.
The gable trellis pole allows for better air flow and efficient growing techniques. It also creates a cooler and shaded environment for harvesting. Our unique trellis system enhances our plastic covering program ensuring quality product for the fall harvest.
The metal steel gable trellis systems mainly used in vineyard, orchard,
grape manor, agriculture plantation and farming. Compared to traditional wooden post systems.
The gable trellis has far more advantages thanks to its design and easy
set-up,strong and long life.
An open gable system is recommended for table grapes,which are cropped to hold a much heavier crop,up to 15tons per acre(or more).This system uses six wires in the lyre to support the canes and the fruit.Posts are placed very 20feet, and the gables can be mounted on wood or steel.The manufacturer recommends installation of one wood end post,about 5’ in from the final end post to add stability and strength to the system.
Material: Hot Dipped Gal. steel sheet
Thickness: 1.2mm 1.5mm 2.0mm 2.5mm,3.0mm
Center bar: 1120mm, 1307mm
Lateral bar: 1460mm, 1473mm
Surface treatment: Hot dipped galvanized, Black (no treated)

Your culinary connection to the local farm harvest tm.
Eat 'n Meet C.S.T. (community supported table)
We are America's first C.S.T. project.
C.S.A.'s (community supported agriculture) have revolutionized family farming. They have created a way for small farms to thrive due to folks' interest in being involved in their food chain. The way it works is the farm sells them a share of the harvest in advance, and they come to the farm weekly during the growing season to pick up their share. This system provides farmers with built in customer base, as well as funds for expenses during the cold winter months. The shareholder family receives wholesome food and a tangible connection to it. Not to mention the great fun of visiting the farm!
Our C.S.T. is very similar to a C.S.A.. We are located in a tourist driven economy, and much like farming, it is very seasonal. We are selling food shares in the form of certificates. Just like a gift certificate, it can be used like cash at our restaurant. And beyond the parallels to farm C.S.A's, our food shares keep you connected to the farm to fork movement in the Adirondacks. We sell our share certificates at a discount of 10% off. They never expire. And we are happy to keep your certificate here for easy use by you and your family. Parents, these are great for college students. Basically, they can have a running tab, and you know they are eating wholesome food. Win-win-win. Thank you.
CST Share Update-
Our discount C.S.T. food share certificates are available at the restaurant year round, they make great gifts to friends or new neighbors. Why not pair it with a season pass to Mt. Pisgah or Whiteface for a perfect Holiday Gift? to order click here.
Anybody see the NY Times dining section on Wednesday (11/09)? There is a great article about wanna be restaurateurs getting in on the C.S.T. model. The difference between them and us, is that we are already open (5 years August 23 '11) and have a proven track record of how a C.S.T. can support the community that it relies on for business. I would hope that the restaurants that are financed in advance this way can take it a step further, and use their fundraising savvy to also benefit the community that they hope to house their venture in. The true payoff for an entrepreneur begins when their venture can help others. I am glad to be a part of the solution with our Eat 'n Meet concept. Thank you for your support Saranac Lake.
Eat for a good cause update-
As many of our patrons know, we have donated to many good causes in Saranac Lake through our
"Eat for a good cause week" promotions since the day we opened. Due to the popularity of this policy, we have had numerous requests by worthy causes to expand the program. To that end, we are going to revamp the program, and here is how. A restaurant like Eat 'n Meet can be used as a community fund raising asset for your group's cause. Now, if you would like to benefit from a "Eat for a good cause" fundraiser, all you have to do is contact John and set a date. All that we ask is that you promote the date to your constituency to insure a good turnout. The fundraisers will still work the same, with 10% of all proceeds for the day going directly to your cause. The better that you can get the word out, the better the turnout will be. We of course will promote the event through our daily menu as well as to our Facebook friends.
There are several projects that are on the burner here at Eat 'n Meet. We are committed to the Adirondack Mountains and the creation of industries that will enhance the lifestyle and economic sustainability of it's residents and visitors. To that end, we are listing some of our thoughts here, and would like for folks to get involved if they feel compelled to.
Project one- TheFork Too Farmtm- Ever want to work your own farm? We would like to transform our adjacent lot (currently a really cool mini golf course) into a community urban farm project. We are looking to remove the trees that are overgrown, and sunlight blockers, from the lot. We are going to build a greenhouse and raised bed gardens so that our restaurant will be able to benefit from the agri-tourism/gastro-tourism trends that are prevalent in the industry today. We see this farm as being "owned" by the volunteers who work it. A true community asset that will become a cornerstone of Saranac Lake's transition to a vibrant arts/healing/ agricultural and cultural gastronomic town! If you want to be a part of a great urban farm community, and are willing to get dirty, come on over, we could use you. Check out this great inspirational website!
Year one of the Fork Too Farm update:
Thank you to Susan and Peter Hahn for the beautiful flower and herb gardens that you put countless hours into. The community has shown us so much appreciation, and I would like to pass it on to you!
Joanne and David MacDowell really inspired us with the bounty of their Winterhawk Garden that they brought by with the egg deliveries. Looking forward to getting the trees down so we can take you up on the offer to work on the Fork Too Farm!
And we cannot forget the generous gift of beautiful tomato plants that Ginger Slater brought by this year for our deck garden. They yielded quite a few green tomatoes! Delicious.
Ken Campbell-thanks for all of the great plants and support you give us. You are truly inspirational to me.

Right after Spring Break, I brought in a Tower Garden for the classroom to use. I explained what Aeroponic is versus Hydroponic or Soil gardening. I then left the Tower and seeds for them to start on their own. I came back once per week and answered questions that they had. It was one of the best experiences I have had. I am so excited that this is what I can call my "work".
Thank you Senora Dufault, Principal Carpenter, and all the kids in the 3rd Grade Classroom!!!

Plagued by the worst drought in its recent history, California has turned into a veritable dust bowl. With no water to fight the dust, farmers are turning to bold alternatives.
The state of California is no stranger to drought, as CNBC details its worsening drought dilemma. The state’s extremely dry climate and unfavorable weather patterns have kept it in a nearly constant state of water shortage, and its reserves are currently dwindling.
It’s now in the midst of its worst dry spell in recent history, and California legislators have enacted mandatory conservation laws (explained here by San Jose Mercury News) for many residents and businesses to help conserve what little water the state has left. The laws are well intentioned (and necessary), but they’ve had unintended consequences of their own — farmers now have little water to fight dust.
A New Dust Bowl
California’s Central Valley is something of an agricultural hub (as The New York Times Magazine reports) — this dense fertile pocket yields an astonishing third of the country’s overall produce. It’s an expansive piece of farmland about 450 miles long and around 60 miles wide, and just one Central Valley complex can produce enough carrots annually to outweigh the Empire State building twice.
Yet farmlands like this, which require especially large volumes of water, have been some of the hardest hit by drought. Aside from irrigation, the issue of dust control in the valley has become pressing. The unpaved roadways and dry conditions in the area have made airborne dust a constant hazard, sending hazardous plumes into nearby communities and increasing local asthma rates.
Ordinarily, farmers would fight dust with water-based control methods, but as the rest of the state faces strict conservation measures, farmers’ liberal watering operations have become something of a controversy. Because of these laws, water for both domestic consumption and dust control programs comes from the same source, according to KQED.
“It’s potable water that they’re usually putting on these roads,” said Ryan Hyashi, member of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. “People don’t have water to drink, and we’re putting it on roadways. It sends a poor message.”
This leaves farmers with an unenviable choice: waste precious resources, or create damaging clouds of dust, which can lead to mite production on local almond trees.
A Smart and Safe Solution
Though the current situation in California has become increasingly tense, it’s an issue that could be inexpensively resolved with the help of Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. For four decades, we have helped operators reduce their water consumption and eliminate dust.
For California farms, employing Midwest’s line of cutting-edge dust control products is both a productive and cost-effective solution. Our EnviroKleen® synthetic dust control solution uses a Boeing-certified formula to bind roadway dust particles and prevent their escape. It uses no water, reduces the need for gravel road grading, and will not harm local agriculture. Indeed, it is the most environmentally safe dust control solution on the market.
Whether the job is a rural one-lane road or 450 miles of farmland byways, the quality of Midwest’s products and customer service remains the same. Check out their site today to learn more about Midwest and how we’re working to make a difference for small industry operators with limited resources.

We have all heard the term GMO, but what is it and where exactly do we find these mysterious chemicals?
Scientists are now able to genetically modify the seeds of some fruits and vegetables to enhance traits such as being resistant to various herbicides/pesticides and producing larger crops. The FDA has approved over 50 genetically modified foods, including potatoes, corn (think high fructose corn syrup), soybeans (think soy lecithin), papaya, squash, tomatoes (one of the first to be genetically modified) and others.
Manufacturers do not have to disclose if they use genetically modified foods in their products although many products that are free of GMO’s are clearly stating that on their labels. Produce that is labeled “organic” cannot be genetically modified or have genetically modified components as part of the product. For more information go to www.ewg.org (The Environmental Working Group) and www.healthychild.org (Healthy Child Healthy World).

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8
If you keep a grain of wheat in your pocket, it will look exactly the same ten years from now. But place it in the right environment; some good ground, enough water, it will sprout into a living sheaf of grain! Every kind of life requires its particular corresponding environment in order to achieve its full and predestined potential. It’s no different for the believer in Christ. For us as believers, the right environment for all round fruitfulness is abiding in Christ.
God has readily made available to us the seeds of success. And he desires for us to bear not just fruits, but more fruits. He gives us the opportunity to live a life of much fruit! A life abounding in the fruits of love, joy, peace, good health, abundance etc. But they are just seeds, sitting in our pockets waiting, until we decide to plant them and allow them to become trees of plenty in our lives.
Is the soil of your heart fertile and ready? Let’s plant some seeds today and invite the Lord to water and nourish them so that we can produce much fruit for the king and his Kingdom. Remember, no branch bears fruit for self consumption, as our lives bears more fruits and much fruits, others will partake of it and give God the glory. That is the whole essence of our fruitfulness.
I Declare: Today I declare that I am abiding in Christ and I will bring forth much fruit.I am fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. I enter into my season of unstoppable harvest and fruitfulness in the name of Jesus.
Ignite Thought: Bearing much fruit is the calling of every branch (believer).

6 Inch Orchid Pots with Holes: The Perfect Size for Your Orchids
Choosing the right pot size for your orchids is crucial for their growth and health. A pot that is too small can restrict the growth of the roots, while a pot that is too large can lead to waterlogging and root rot. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of using orchid pot 6 inch with holes and why they are the perfect size for your orchids.
Benefits of 6 Inch Orchid Pots
6 inch orchid pots with holes are the perfect size for most orchids. They provide enough space for the roots to grow and allow for good drainage and airflow. The holes on the sides and bottom of the pot prevent water from pooling at the bottom, which can lead to root rot. The 6 inch size is also easy to handle and move around, making it ideal for indoor gardens.
Types of 6 Inch Orchid Pots
There are many types of 6 inch orchid pots with holes available, including ceramic, plastic, and clay pots. Ceramic pots are the most popular choice among orchid growers as they are durable, attractive, and provide excellent drainage. Plastic pots are also a good option as they are lightweight and inexpensive. However, they may not be as durable as ceramic pots. Clay pots are another option, but they are not as popular as they can be heavy and prone to breaking.
How to Use 6 Inch Orchid Pots
When using 6 inch orchid pots, it’s important to choose the right potting mix for your orchids. Orchids require a well-draining potting mix that is specifically designed for their needs. Fill the pot with the potting mix and place your orchid in the center of the pot. Gently pack the mix around the roots, making sure not to damage them. Water your orchid thoroughly and place it in a bright, but indirect light.
6 inch orchid pots with holes are the perfect size for most orchids. They provide enough space for the roots to grow and allow for good drainage and airflow. By choosing the right potting mix and location, you can ensure that your orchids will grow healthy and strong.

Response of Bacillus subtilis to cerulenin and
acquisition of resistance.
Schujman GE, Choi KH, Altabe S, Rock CO, de Mendoza D.
Instituto de Biologia Molecular y Celular de Rosario (IBR) and Departamento de
Microbiologia, Facultad de Ciencias Bioquimicas y Farmaceuticas, Universidad
Nacional de Rosario, Suipacha 531, 2000-Rosario, Argentina.
Cerulenin is a fungal mycotoxin that potently inhibits fatty acid synthesis by
covalent modification of the active site thiol of the chain-elongation subtypes
of beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthases. The Bacillus subtilis
fabF (yjaY) gene (fabF(b)) encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of
malonyl-ACP with acyl-ACP to extend the growing acyl chain by two carbons. There
were two mechanisms by which B. subtilis adapted to exposure to this antibiotic.
First, reporter gene analysis demonstrated that transcription of the operon
containing the fabF gene increased eightfold in response to a cerulenin
challenge. This response was selective for the inhibition of fatty acid
synthesis, since triclosan, an inhibitor of enoyl-ACP reductase, triggered an
increase in fabF reporter gene expression while nalidixic acid did not. Second,
spontaneous mutants arose that exhibited a 10-fold increase in the MIC of
cerulenin. The mutation mapped at the B. subtilis fabF locus, and sequence
analysis of the mutant fabF allele showed that a single base change resulted in
the synthesis of FabF(b)[I108F]. The purified FabF(b) and FabF(b)[I108F]
proteins had similar specific activities with myristoyl-ACP as the substrate.
FabF(b) exhibited a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) of cerulenin of 0.1
microM, whereas the IC(50) for FabF(b)[I108] was 50-fold higher (5 microM).
These biochemical data explain the absence of an overt growth defect coupled
with the cerulenin resistance phenotype of the mutant strain.

What to Expect When Your Warm-Season Lawn Goes Dormant
With the cold weather here to stay, you might start to notice the frigid temperatures affecting your grass. So, what exactly does it mean for your lawn when it goes dormant? First things first, there’s no need to worry. If you’re in the Atlanta area, let Simply Green Lawn Care give you the inside scoop into how to care for your dormant lawn.
Tiger Striping and Browning
When the weather turns cold, your grass will go dormant. This essentially means it’ll stop growing but it is still living. Eventually, the entire lawn will turn brown. But first, you might see what we call tiger striping. This is when sections of grass turn brown while others are still green. This is a very normal part of the process and is nothing to get concerned about.
Avoid Heavy Traffic
Dormant lawns can handle some traffic and will even tolerate being walked on in a moderate amount. But just remember that the heavier the traffic is on your lawn during dormancy, the longer it will take for the bright, vibrant green to come back when the weather warms back up.
Don’t Stop Caring for Your Lawn
If your grass needs to be cut, keep cutting it. You want to make sure you don’t cut it too short so it can properly insulate itself during cold spells, though. An Atlanta lawn care professional like Simply Green can keep an eye on things and let you know when the time is right for a cut, especially after the use of pre-emergent or fertilizer, which changes the needs of your grass.
To find out more, give us a call today. We’d be happy to come out and see what’s going on in your yard!

Invasive Jumping Worms at CNI
In 2021 it was brought to our attention that some of our plants contained invasive Asian jumping worms. We do not know how jumping worms got into our nursery, but as the worms are present in the Rosaryville State Park it is not surprising that they are on the premises.
It is important to note these earthworms were not introduced to our nursery through College Park Compost or Rels pinefines. The compost we purchase has been heated above 55 degrees through the composting process over three to four years at the City of College Park’s facility.
We are taking this very seriously. Our staff and volunteers have attended multiple conferences and lectures about the evolving and expanding research on Asian jumping worms to make sure everyone working at our nursery is educated on this issue.
Our plan of action since this was brought to our attention in Fall 2021 has been to minimize the presence of any earthworms in our nursery by making sure we use clean pots, clean soil, and clean compost, and monitor our plants for any signs of the worms.
We have been repotting any potentially contaminated plants that were stored on the ground at our nursery. All potentially contaminated soil is disposed of, the pots and roots are washed, and each plant is repotted into clean soil. All repotted, clean plants will be stored off of bare ground to ensure jumping worms do not get into the pots.
While we can not 100% guarantee that this method will mean no worms or egg casings leave our nursery, we are confident that these steps will drastically reduce the chances of spread.
Thank you all for your support as we navigate this roadblock. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to us anytime at firstname.lastname@example.org

Its quality can be impacted by the use of agri-chemicals and changes to drainage patterns and soil erosion. Increasingly intensive farming methods, recent rainfall variability and increasing regulations often make issues arising more difficult to address. These conditions are such that a good understanding of water within the environment and the potential for agricultural impact (good or bad) is of fundamental importance to efficient and responsible farm management.
Hafren Water is actively involved with helping the farming community solve the water-related problems they face. Working closely with the National Farmers Union and land owners we can offer a wide range of technical expertise.
Water quality. Agricultural activities can impact on both physical and chemical aspects of water quality. The mobilising of fines by ploughing, or ditch clearing, for example, and the subsequent potential for sedimentation can have adverse impact upon the environment. These impacts may apply to sensitive ecological features, fauna or flora and can lead to legal action against the landowner.
Hafren has provided advice to land owners in relation to controlling soil mobilisation from fields adjacent to watercourses and on measures that can be adopted to slow the flow in rivers to reduce flooding and increase sediment retention. These works have led to the avoidance of prosecution in several cases.
Agriculture can also impact on water quality via the use of organic and inorganic fertiliser and pesticides, in particular nutrients, nitrate and phosphate. Hafren Water has acted on behalf of a large number of landowners in England and Wales in appealing against Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ) designation. Through detailed assessment of raw data the assumptions and conclusions drawn by Defra in their review have been critically appraised and questioned. Considerable success has been achieved in this process over the last three rounds of the NVZ review. In 2017 we acted on behalf of 200 landholders in nearly 40 river or groundwater catchments, with a high success rate in removing proposed or existing areas from NVZ designation. Assessment has also been undertaken to review impacts associated with the changing use of farmland on nearby river quality.
Water supply and flooding. The installation of alternative non-mains water supplies can lead to significant cost savings for landowners. Hafren Water can advise on all aspects of water wells, from feasibility assessments to advice on licensing through to specification of requirements and preparation of tender documents for drilling contractors. We also supervise drilling works and subsequent test pumping and obtaining the necessary licences.
Hafren has provided agricultural water management advice and technical support for numerous winter storage reservoirs for irrigation. Our involvement has included assessment of hydrological aspects for Planning Applications through to calculations of water availability and obtaining abstraction licences.
Measures to slow the flow of surface water run-off from fields or smaller watercourses are designed to help alleviate flooding issues and associated problems of soil loss and sedimentation of rivers. These can be in-field or in-river measures. Hafren Water will guide the landholder or will obtain any consents required for the works.
Grosvenor Farms requested support for their application for a Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme as part of their sustainability and environmental policy. Hafren Water co-ordinated a team including Reaseheath College and Shropshire Wildlife Trust to deliver the necessary Wetland Feasibility Study in support of the application.
Agri-environmental schemes. Hafren Water provides technical support for clients’ applications for Higher Tier Countryside Stewardship schemes. Frequently working closely with ecologists we have provided feasibility studies to support applications by identifying areas where enhancements could be made to create or improve water-supported habitats. We also advise on the practical measures needed to realise the water-supported ecological potential of land.
Our clients have included the National Farmers Union, the Grosvenor Estate, The Tortworth Estate Company and numerous individual farmers and landowners.

|The sucrose transporter StSUT1 localizes to sieve elements in potato tuber phloem and influences tuber physiology and development|
|Authors:||Kuhn, C.; Hajirezaei, M. R.; Fernie, A. R.; Roessner-Tunali, U.; Czechowski, T.; Hirner, B.; Frommer, W. B.|

|Title of Journal:||Plant Physiology|
|Issue / Number:||1|
|Review Status:||not specified|
|Abstract / Description:||The sucrose (Suc) H+-cotransporter StSUT1 from potato (Solanum tuberosum), which is essential for long-distance transport of Suc and assumed to play a role in phloem loading in mature leaves, was found to be expressed in sink tubers. To answer the question of whether SUT1 serves a function in phloem unloading in tubers, the promoter was fused to gusA and expression was analyzed in transgenic potato. SUT1 expression was unexpectedly detected not in tuber parenchyma but in the phloem of sink tubers. Immunolocalization demonstrated that StSUT1 protein was present only in sieve elements of sink tubers, cells normally involved in export of Suc from the phloem to supply developing tubers, raising the question of the role of SUT1 in tubers. SUT1 expression was inhibited by antisense in transgenic potato plants using a class I patatin promoter B33, which is primarily expressed in the phloem of developing tubers. Reduced SUT1 expression in tubers did not affect aboveground organs but led to reduced fresh weight accumulation during early stages of tuber development, indicating that in this phase SUT1 plays an important role for sugar transport. Changes in Suc- and starch-modifying enzyme activities and metabolite profiles are consistent with the developmental switch in unloading mechanisms. Altogether, the findings may suggest a role of SUT1 in retrieval of Suc from the apoplasm, thereby regulating the osmotic potential in the extracellular space, or a direct role in phloem unloading acting as a phloem exporter transferring Suc from the sieve elements into the apoplasm.

Thank you to the farmers and agronomists who attended the two joint summer tours hosted by the Manitoba Corn Growers Association and fellow commodity groups. Attendees learned first hand and in the field the great work being done, funded in part by producer dollars.
The first joint tour was the Plot Stop tour held June 30. The tour highlighted On-Farm trials funded by the Manitoba Corn Growers Association, Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers, and the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association. Participants learned about evaluating in-season nitrogen application in corn, soybean potassium fertilization, fusarium head blight fungicide timing, and soybean seed treatments.
The second joint tour was the Twilight Tour held August 9 at the University of Manitoba Research Farm in Carman, MB. This tour highlighted research projects funded by the Manitoba Corn Growers Association, Manitoba Flax Growers Association, Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers, and the Manitoba Wheat and Barley Growers Association. The over 60 participants learned about corn row spacing and planting density, lodging in wheat, soybean seeding dates and seeding depths, dry bean row spacing and planting density, soybean crop rotation, pasmo disease management in flax, and crop rooting systems.
The MCGA was excited to work collaboratively with the other commodity associations to host two great joint summer tours.

In reading the NRDC publication “onearth” recently I was steered to an online essay by Ted Genoways about the plight of the small farmer. As one who lives in the farming belt in Southwest Minnesota and who knows how the small farmers struggle against the unfair competition provided by the giant corporations, I found this article of special interest. As you travel in this area you see the sad, abandoned farm houses and countless groves being bulldozed to make room for more plowed fields and bigger yields — all signs of the corporations at work.
With the current drought that affects 65% of the farmland in this country predicted to continue, one wonders if the small farmers can survive. Indeed, one wonders if there will be food enough to feed a burgeoning world population. As the Sierra magazine reported recently two-thirds of the U.S. Wheat crop has been impaired by drought and U.S. corn and soybean production has fallen below consumption levels for the first time in 38 years. Further, “Drought will cut world wheat stocks by 13 percent in 2013. . .The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization warns that low grain stores this year leave ‘no room for unexpected events.'”
And yet the corporate farmers in this country are making record profits, thanks to government subsidies as Genoways explains:
. . . Of the $277.3 billion allocated for farm subsidies from the expansion of the program in 1995 until last year, roughly 75 percent of the money went to the top 10 percent of farmers. If you expand to look at the top 20 percent of farms, nearly 90 percent of the allocations are accounted for. In real dollars, that means that the average corporate farm receives more than $31,000 per year, while the average small farm receives less than $600, in a typical year. And nearly two-thirds of American farmers collect no subsidies at all. In years of crop failure, Big Ag actually makes out even better, because of the way the subsidies are calculated. Indeed, if trends from past years hold true for 2012, the top 20 percent of recipients will garner an average of more than $45,000 from the government, compared to less than $1,000 for the remaining 80 percent.
So programs designed to save family farms are, instead, helping big business out-compete them, and eventually gobble them up, all while using their dollars and political clout to push for larger subsidies and more protection — big beef and pork producers are currently trying to get into the act — as agribusiness lobbyists in Washington cloak their efforts in the guise of defending small farmers.
So while the small farmers struggle and see their farms being swallowed up by the corporations the rest of us ponder a future with diminishing food supplies as the globe continues to heat up, droughts continue to reduce farm production, and Big Ag goes to Washington to make sure the subsidies continue. Surely, this is a formula for disaster.
Given the present state of the economy the government may not be able to bail out the corporate farmers much longer. But more to the point, not even the large corporations will be able to produce food on the scale required to feed growing numbers of hungry people if the drought continues as predicted. In addition to the greed and short-term thinking that motivates the corporations, we must add the undeniable fact that climate change will soon affect our lives in ways it is difficult to imagine, as a recent story on Yahoo News pointed out:
“What we’re going to experience is unprecedented in human history in terms of the type of climate we’re creating for ourselves,” Hanemann tells The Daily Ticker. “The rate of warming has increased maybe five times what it was in the early part of the 20th century. The earth is getting warmer faster.”
Meanwhile Congress continues to hand out subsidies to Big Ag and repay favors to fat-cat contributors while it ignores climate change, threatens to cut social programs for the needy, and gropes about blindly in the Wonderland caucus race we call party politics. Something has to give.

Paul Ehrlich. His 1968 book, The Population Bomb, warned that by the end of the 20th century, humanity would face a population explosion followed by a sudden, devastating collapse.
According to the UN, the percentage of the population which is “undernourished” has fallen from 33 per cent to 16 since 1968. Global food production has easily kept pace with population: again, thanks to advances in agricultural technology, specifically those which drove the so-called Green Revolution. Through aggressive use of selective breeding and agricultural chemicals, and the development of new breeds of wheat and rice, what seemed to be looming disaster was averted. Rice yields per hectare in Asia tripled, and food costs plummeted. The "father of the Green Revolution", an American agronomist and plant geneticist called Norman Borlaug, won the Nobel Peace Prize. He was described as the "Forgotten benefactor of mankind" by Atlantic Monthly, and credited having prevented a billion deaths.
That Malthus and Ehrlich were both so wrong is a tribute to human ingenuity. It’s also a warning to those who try to forecast the future. Neither of them predicted the revolutions in food production. Neither did they foresee another, even simpler, change in human behaviour: a global drop in fertility. The average woman now has just 2.52 children – down from 4.85 when Ehrlich was writing. In Europe and the United States, that has dropped to 1.53 and 2.07 respectively. This is thanks to contraception, to greater urbanisation and economic development, and to the education of women.
Farm yields have been marching upwards for decades and will continue to do so. In the past sixty years, the total harvest of the big three crops that provide the bulk of our calories - maize, wheat and rice - has tripled, yet the acreage planted has hardly changed.
This trend is going to continue partly thanks to low-tech changes already in the pipeline. Helped by Chinese investment, improved transport to get African crops to market with less waste will make a big difference. As will tractors, which boost production by 25% or so - because they free the land for human food that would otherwise be needed to feed bullocks or horses.
African farmers will start to use much more fertilizer, as western farmers do, which makes it possible to sustain yields without exhausting the soil. A few years ago environmentalists argued that fertiliser would soon run short, because it is made using natural gas, a fossil fuel. But the discovery of how to extract abundant shale gas has turned that argument on its head: there are probably many decades' worth of natural gas now available to make fertilizer.
There are high-tech changes afoot too. Maize and rice that have been genetically modified to resist pests and use less water, soybeans with better amino acid balance for pig food, wheat that can resist rust - all these are coming. Benighted Europe may reject these GM crops for superstitious reasons but surely not for long. The environmental benefits alone are now stark: GM crops can be pest resistant without the use of sprays that kill harmless insect bystanders.
The more yields increase, the more land can be set aside from food production for reforestation and national parks. This is happening already. National parks are expanding steadily, and land that was once farmed is being returned to forest, especially in countries like Britain and America. That is a huge contrast to a century ago, when farming kept up with population only by expanding into new areas of steppe, pampas and prairie.
Don't forget another factor. Carbon dioxide levels in the air are rising. CO2 is a raw material that plants use to make sugars, which is why many greenhouse owners pump CO2 over their crops to boost production. The results of more than 600 experiments with rice, wheat and soybeans exposed to the sort of carbon dioxide levels expected by 2050 (an extra 300 parts per million) all show remarkably consistent 30+% increases in yield. And the higher the CO2, the less water a plant loses in absorbing it, so water stress will improve too. Plus, if global warming happens, it is likely to produce more rainfall, so that regions like the Sahel will continue to become greener, as it has in recent decades.
For all these reasons food production will probably continue to rise faster than population in the decades ahead. There will still be price spikes caused by bad weather or foolish policies, and there will be challenges: policies that encourage innovation cannot be taken for granted. Yet so long as trade is free and innovation flourishes, by 2050 it is easily possible that we can feed nine billion people with more and better food from less land.
I don't see an issue with feeding livestock or people anytime soon. Population isn't a problem and food production isn't an issue.

From backyard farms to community plots, fire escape gardens to rooftop vegetable patches, cities across the nation are getting greener every year. The push is largely being spearheaded by young farmers: the 2012 Census of Agriculture reported that over 100,000 new farms are owned by people aged 25-34, and many of those have sprung up in major cities like New York and Washington, D.C.
The work of building more green space in cities is more relevant than ever, but farming faces many of the same race-based issues as the rest of the workforce: namely, that even this green landscape is overwhelmingly white. Though women are represented in farming at higher rates than in other industries —they make up 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing countries, and 14% of farm operators in in America in 2012, according to the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization —farms owned and run by low-income individuals and people of color are few and far between.
The numbers are particularly stark for African Americans: In 2012, they represented just fewer than 2 percent of the total farming population. That’s a pretty dismal statistic, one that made us stop and ask a seemingly straightforward question: where are all the black farmers?
The answer is deeply rooted in the systemic and institutionalized racism in the United States. Post-slavery, many freed black Americans were sharecroppers and farmers; in Mississippi in the late 19 th century, for example, black farmers made up two-thirds of all farmers in the Delta. By 1910, however, most had lost their land and moved to tenant farming under white landowners. Why? In part, because black farmers were consistently denied the loans they needed to buy farmland by the United States Department of Agriculture. Many recalled instances of having their loan applications torn up, spat on, and thrown away by USDA officials. Others had to return repeatedly to the their USDA offices to fill out paperwork while they watched white farmers walk out with loans in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This discrimination in the form of denied loans, the government’s seizing of private property under eminent domain, and other institutionalized racism ultimately led thousands of black farmers to file a class action suit against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), which was settled in 1999. Pigford v. Glickman is the most tangible and significant legal proof of the racial discrimination faced by African Americans: over $1 billion in damages were awarded to over 13,000 farmers who proved they had been unfairly discriminated against by the USDA’s allocation of farm loans and assistance between 1981 and 1996.

But discrimination is notoriously hard to prove, and the echoes are still felt today in an agricultural industry that is predominantly white—even on inner-city farms and within the fast-growing legal marijuana business. Gail Taylor, a black woman who owns Three Part Harmony Farm in Washington, D.C., told me that her race explicitly impacts her farming in a way that her gender does not.
“Vegetable growing, sustainable agriculture, and small farms in this country are dominated by women, but mostly white women,” she says when we meet at Rooting D.C. , an annual urban agriculture summit. “In terms of gender, the farm where I trained, and at conferences like this, there are a lot of women. But there aren’t a lot of people of color, and especially not a lot of black people. I think it’s hard in general for black people to get into farming. We generally have to find resources on our own.”
She says that African American farmers still face discrimination and have a tougher time getting access to funding than white farmers, so are hesitant to approach the USDA when the organization has failed them in the past. “Making a living farming is hard, and having even a tiny leg up can make a huge difference,” Taylor adds. “If, for example, land becomes available for sale, and you can call up ten relatives and get the money together, you can walk into a bank and have them take you seriously and give you a loan. For black people, Latinos, and Native Americans, that’s often not the case.”

Taylor is no stranger to taking the powers that be to task when it comes to urban farming. When she initially tried to start her farm in 2010, she approached the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate about the unused two acres of land behind their chapel. The lawyers for the church informed her that use of the land for commercial purposes (like growing and selling produce) would interfere with their non-profit tax status. She also learned that urban farmers are responsible for paying increased city taxes for the property, estimated at upwards of $50,000. So Taylor began to prep and farm the land in a non-commercial capacity, giving the produce away for free and sharing it with the Oblates parishioners and volunteer workers.
But Taylor refused to give up on her goal of establishing a commercial farm on the land, and she wanted to make it easier for future urban agriculturists who might come after her. So she teamed up with D.C. City Council members David Grosso and Mary Cheh to introduce the D.C. Urban Farming and Food Security Act of 2014. The four-part act created major tax boons for urban agriculturists in the District: it gave private landowners a 90% tax break if they offered up their land for urban farming; enabled a tax credit for businesses as well as individuals who donate locally farmed produce to D.C. food banks and shelters; and ensured any tax-exempt entities like churches and synagogues would not lose their status if they used their land for farming or community gardens. The act also required that 25 vacant lots owned by the city be identified for farming.
The act revolutionized urban agriculture in Washington, D.C., setting it up as a hub for small farming in the United States. But in a city that is rapidly gentrifying, sustainable agriculture still disproportionately benefits white residents over black ones. As Taylor said, finding resources—from fresh, healthy produce to eat, to money and lands to start your own farm—can be in short supply for black Americans.
“I like to say that black farmers are out here, you just haven’t heard of us yet,” says Zachary J. Curtis. Illustration by Laura Lannes
Zachari J. Curtis, the owner and operator of D.C.’s Good Sense Farm & Apiary , aims to make those resources more available. In addition to keeping bees and also cultivating mushrooms on his plot, he co-founded the Community Farming Alliance to attempt to address the need for support amongst minority farmers: the alliance is is meant to connect and nurture farmers of color. He describes it as a “producers cooperative for farmers, foodies, beekeepers, healers of color seeking to instigate collaboration, incubate and nurture mutual aid between food system workers of color.”
There are many more Black-owned and operated farms spread out across the country: East New York Farms, a project of the United Community Centers, primarily serves minority and low-income youth in East New York and Brooklyn, while Rise and Root Farm, a cooperatively-run farm in upstate New York, was founded by Karen Washington, a Black Bronx native who has often been called ” The Queen of Urban Growing .”
There’s also Patchwork City Farms and Truly Living Well , both in Atlanta; Rid-All Green Partnership , in Cleveland; and Pine Knot Farms , located in North Carolina. Chicago is also a booming urban agricultural hub, with the huge success of Growing Power , a Black-owned non-profit that currently has five farm sites in the city limits, including two community garden plots open to the public to grow their own food. On the West Coast, Farms To Grow, Inc. , is an Oakland-based non-profit dedicated to assisting black, low-income, and women farmers create and maintain their farms and gardens in the community. Farms To Grow also works directly with black-owned farms in Oakland to deliver harvest boxes full of fresh produce to private homes.
“I like to say that we [black farmers] are out here, you just haven’t heard of us yet,” says Curtis. “I learned beekeeping from the Haitian family living on the farm where I apprenticed. I started to farm officially, on paper, in late 2013, so it’s been two-and-a-half years; we’re into our third season. It feels like I’ve learned so much, and none of it would be possible without a comprehensive support system.”
The soil is fertile for support and change for the racial diversity of urban farming. In today’s political climate, more black farmers may finally get their chance to grow.

Delta Farm Forum Saturday
Annual Agriculture meeting talks include helping farmers deal with hungry bison, Nenana-Totchaket Ag Project
Much has been written this year about how deep snow with a thick icy crust has severely stressed animals in the wild. And on Saturday, a state wildlife biologist will talk about how the Delta Bison Herd has coped with that difficulty by in turn making life difficult for area farmers.
“Much of the herd was surviving by getting into farmers’ feedyards, haysheds, which was creating tremendous amount of stress on landowners,” says Phil Kaspari is an agricultural agent with the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service office in Delta. And he’s the organizer of this year’s Farm Forum, which will include two presentations on plans to help farmers recover from the impact of heavy snowfall.
“Winter came early, and there were hundreds of acres of straw and hay that were not able to be bailed this last fall,” he said in an interview Thursday. “So, in anticipation of having to burn off much of that acreage, there’s going to be a presentation from the Alaska Division of Forestry.”
Also on the agenda is a report on development of the Nenana-Tokchaket Agricultural Project. Kaspari says after decades of planning, the state now intends to begin selling parcels within the more than 100-thousand-acre project, located just west of Nenana.
“We’re finally going to get some land sales,” he said. “They hope to do this release in mid-summer.”
And an official with the Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation will give an overview of its agricultural lending program.
“So those people who are looking at purchasing some state agricultural land will likely be interested in financing options.”
Kaspari says the forum will again be held in the Delta High School small gymnasium, as it was before the pandemic required last year’s event to be held virtually. But he says this year’s “hybrid forum,” which begins at 9 a.m., also will again be presented online, over the Zoom platform, for people who’d prefer to skip the drive and instead watch the event online.
Information on how to register for the Farm Forum is available in the events calendar at the bottom of the UAF Cooperative Extension Service web page.

Thanks to you, we've been able to achieve some incredible things.
Planting a Forest Together
In 2023, thanks to your orders and our commitment to donate 10% of sales, we were able to plant an entire forest in a region that the climate crisis severely degraded or eliminated forests completely.
We partnered with WeForest to plant over 2000 trees, or more than 2 football fields worth of trees that will sustain the population and continue to combat climate change for the planet.
Northern Ethiopia is directly threatened by desertification while it is home to many threatened species with an important function for climate change mitigation and adaptation as well as water supply. The immediate consequence of the disappearance of forest is erosion of topsoil and the significant reduction of agricultural yields for the local farmers. Even more alarming is the long-term impact on local cloud formation and rainfall, causing more frequent droughts and food insecurity.
WeForest is restoring and protecting large areas of forest. Tree species are selected to serve multiple purposes to the forest and the communities, generating a combination of social, economic and environmental benefits. Soil and water conservation structures are built to reduce run-offs and improve soil infiltration. Combining this with livelihood improvement activities such as beekeeping and efficient cookstoves, is improving the resilience of communities living in and around the forest.
The planting and protecting of native species will boost biodiversity, regenerate soil and water resources and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Mammals such as the rare baboon and the spotted hyena will find a new habitat to thrive. With local farmers we build dams, micro-basins and water harvesting ponds to retain rainwater, improve infiltration and increase water access. The project is undergoing carbon certification and will contribute to the Paris Climate Agreement by sequestering CO2.

The Power of Vinegar as a Natural Weedkiller in Atherton Landscapes
In the quest for maintaining a eco-conscious luxury landscape in Atherton, homeowners are increasingly turning to alternative methods for weed control that align with the principles of sustainability and environmental management. One such method that has gained popularity in recent years is the use of vinegar as a natural herbicide. While vinegar may seem like a humble kitchen staple, its high acetic acid content makes it a powerful weapon against unwanted weeds when used strategically and responsibly.
Understanding Vinegar's Weed-Killing Potential
Vinegar's efficacy as a weed killer lies in its main ingredient: acetic acid. This compound works by penetrating the plant's cell walls upon contact, causing them to break down and ultimately leading to the plant's demise. Household vinegar typically contains around 5% acetic acid, which is effective against small, young weeds with shallow root systems. However, for more resilient or mature weeds, horticultural vinegar with a higher concentration of acetic acid, usually around 20%, may be necessary to achieve satisfactory results.
Optimal Conditions for Vinegar Application in Luxury Landscaping
To maximize the effectiveness of vinegar as a weed killer in your luxury landscaping, it's essential to apply it under the right conditions. Ideally, this means choosing a warm, sunny day with minimal wind to ensure that the vinegar can fully penetrate the weeds' defenses. Applying vinegar during periods of peak sunlight enhances its herbicidal properties, as the heat helps to speed up the breakdown of plant cells and facilitates quicker absorption of the acetic acid.
Targeting the Right Weeds for Landscaping
While vinegar can be an effective tool for controlling weeds, it's essential to understand its limitations and use it judiciously. Vinegar is a non-selective herbicide, meaning it will kill any plant it comes into contact with, including desirable vegetation in your garden. Therefore, it's crucial to target only the weeds you want to eliminate and avoid spraying vinegar on nearby plants that you wish to preserve. Additionally, vinegar is most effective against small, young weeds with shallow root systems, so focus your efforts on these vulnerable targets for the best results.
Using Vinegar Responsibly in your Luxury Landscape in Atherton
As with any herbicide, it's essential to use vinegar responsibly and with caution to avoid unintended harm to the environment and surrounding vegetation. When applying vinegar, use targeted spraying techniques to minimize overspray and drift, and avoid spraying on windy days to prevent the vinegar from spreading to unintended areas. Additionally, consider the potential impact of vinegar runoff on nearby plants and soil health, and take measures to mitigate any adverse effects.
Homeowners in Atherton can benefit from Eco-friendly Weed Control
Incorporating vinegar into your weed control regimen offers several benefits beyond its effectiveness as a herbicide. Unlike synthetic herbicides, vinegar is a natural and environmentally friendly alternative that breaks down quickly in the environment, minimizing its impact on soil and water quality. By opting for eco-friendly weed control methods like vinegar, homeowners can reduce their reliance on harmful chemicals and contribute to the overall health and sustainability of their landscapes.
Vinegar presents a compelling option for homeowners seeking to maintain a luxurious and eco-conscious landscape in Atherton. With its natural herbicidal properties and minimal environmental impact, vinegar offers a sustainable solution for controlling weeds while preserving the beauty and integrity of your outdoor space. By understanding how to use vinegar effectively and responsibly, homeowners can embrace eco-conscious landscaping practices that enhance the overall health and sustainability of their gardens

Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary causes late blight of potato and tomato, and has a broad host range within the Solanaceae family. Most studies of the Phytophthora--Solanum pathosystem have focused on gene expression in the host and have not analyzed pathogen gene expression in planta.
We describe in detail an in silico approach to mine ESTs from inoculated host plants deposited in a database in order to identify particular pathogen sequences associated with disease. We identified candidate effector genes through mining of 22,795 ESTs corresponding to P. infestans cDNA libraries in compatible and incompatible interactions with hosts from the Solanaceae family.
We annotated genes of P. infestans expressed in planta associated with late blight using different approaches and assigned putative functions to 373 out of the 501 sequences found in the P. infestans genome draft, including putative secreted proteins, domains associated with pathogenicity and poorly characterized proteins ideal for further experimental studies. Our study provides a methodology for analyzing cDNA libraries and provides an understanding of the plant--oomycete pathosystems that is independent of the host, condition, or type of sample by identifying genes of the pathogen expressed in planta.

After that, it’s perfect for putting a little clump of marijuana in a plastic bag. A clear plastic bag will make it simple to examine the weed within.
Location the bags under a cushion on a level surface. After a few hours, see how pushed they are. Repeat for two days or up until the cannabis feels good when pushed. After everything is dried, cure it in sealed containers.
Another choice is to utilize wire lines or vertical grow rack systems for cannabis drying. Please wait for the wetness to drop from the buds by hanging them on drying lines. This slows the drying process and contributes to the smooth taste that non-dried buds do not have.
Remove all additional leaves from the buds to enable them to breathe during drying. This likewise minimizes the humidity in the region, reducing the likelihood of mold growth.
Heaters for Small Spaces
Requiring your cache to dry too quickly might damage its effectiveness. On the other hand, space heaters can carry out the task despite their lower strength. To prevent mold, the humidity in the space must be low while your cannabis is drying, and space heaters can assist warm up the area. This way of drying weed is also seen in the DriFlower HangHarvesting System. Put your space heater in one area to eliminate wetness, enabling your marijuana to dry faster.
Like the last one, you might utilize this device to reduce the space’s wetness and humidity. If you are looking for excellent cannabis curing kits, check out this link.
Lots of stoners advise against drying your marijuana with heaters. Nevertheless, drying fans can aid in air circulation, which benefits your blooms. This likewise keeps mold at bay. Avoid directing your drying fans directly at your marijuana.
To make the procedure lighter and gentler, utilize oscillating fans. If you use drying fans to dry your weed, you may cover locations you may not have inspected. This should still be done on a drying rack or line position but with the assistance of fans to optimize the procedure.
You now comprehend everything there is to know about driving racks and other techniques for drying marijuana. Identify if you want to utilize or include them in your drying system. A drying rack is required if you have a lot of cannabis. It assists in keeping your marijuana orderly as it dries.
After seven days, examine whether your crop is crisp and sharp. Take a picture to help you choose. For treating your cannabis stash, the drying treatment and drying racks are important. Select what best fits your materials.

Commercial Avocado Orchard Situated in Ventura County, California, Rancho Dos Vasos spreads across six (6) contiguous parcels and covers an impressive 376 acres. This extensive avocado ranch, nestled on the north flank of a major highway (Hwy 126) that stretches across Fillmore a rural, unincorporated area of Ventura County is a blend of mature trees and new plantings, offering both immediate and sustainable income opportunities. Rancho Dos Vasos benefits from two superior-quality wells based within the Fillmore basin, ensuring a steady supply of high-quality groundwater. The current proprietors have channeled over $5.2 million of capex into enhancements such as a new well, reservoirs, irrigation systems, plantings, internal road developments, and drainage mechanisms. Rancho Dos Vasos is equipped with several booster and injection stations, and its irrigation system recently revamped is a model of modern avocado farming. Fitted with two (2) turbine wells, various booster and injection stations, and three (3) water storage reservoirs. The main well yields around 900 GPM of premium irrigation water. The secondary well, renovated in 2019, offers about 500 GPM, and the Primary Well (Well 2), freshly drilled in 2021, complements the supply. The irrigation water delivery system modern, solid-set micro sprinklers nourished by poly tubing is new and state-of-the-art. Over 200 acres, along with the area set of future development, are irrigated by this system. The upgraded property, after total renovation, is expected to yield around 3,080,070 lbs. at maturity, or 12,759 lbs./acre.. The current management could potentially be retained by new owner, facilitating a seamless transition of ownership. Thanks to the extensive groundwork and updates to the infrastructure, new owners can look forward to optimal production, a refurbished office, an agricultural barn, workshop, and a residential home in their modern avocado ranch. There is an assumable loan with excellent terms: see Offering Memorandum for details. The Property is enrolled in the Williamson Act/LCA Program.

Our story begins from a position of necessity.
In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many coffee farmers in Kasese could barely provide for their families. The floods had destroyed their crop while the lock down made it difficult to sell the little, they had left.
Our founder, Prince Sabena, was involved in the lives of the people in Kasese. After investing time and money on their occasional needs, he realized that they needed a more sustainable solution!
Amidst all this, what kept the people of Kasese hopeful were the coffee trees that stood tall on small subsistence farms. Unfortunately, their coffee sold for less than they hoped for because of its poor quality and their lack of organization and structure.
After realizing how we could help, we decided to set up Jenga Coffee to buy the coffee from the farmers at a reasonable price so that they get the most value out of their coffee.

showcasing the region’s best
When did you first start? We planted the trees in 1990 and had our first harvest in 1994
Why hazelnuts? Basil loves eating them and they’re good for you! Bathurst has a good, cool, climate for growing hazelnuts.
What makes your product special? Australia produces less than 5% of the hazelnuts consumed domestically so it’s the freshness and the taste which makes our central tablelands product so good.

The mystery of Colony Collapse Disorder has brought honeybees into the public eye. But the story of their plight — and its impact — is more complicated.
This might be one of the most interesting, disturbing and puzzling stories to come along in a long time.
In early 2007 the news broke that beekeepers across the United States had made a surprising discovery.
Bees are mysteriously dying.
It’s called colony collapse disorder. Beekeepers in 27 states report disappearing honey bees.
Pollination by bees produces 30% of our food.
Congress is holding hearings. Even the Vice-president has been briefed.
The end of honey bees, the end of pollination, a dire threat to crop the world over.
Today, what’s happening to the bees and what’s really at stake.
The buzz began with these bees at Dave Hackenberg’s bee farm, ground zero for the mystery of the missing bees.
In November of 2006 Dave Hackenberg discovered that nearly all of the 400 beehives in his Florida bee yard were empty.
So this is what you call a dead hive.
Yeah. Empty box. No bees.
The veteran beekeeper had seen bees die before, but never like this.
I keep asking myself, what am I doing wrong? I mean, it’s so… It’s a mind-boggling thing, I mean it really is a mind-boggling thing.
Hackenberg contacted scientists at Pennsylvania State University. They were intrigued by the beekeeper’s story.
And I said, well bring up some bees and we’ll check it out, and so indeed he brought up some bees, and those bees got sampled and we found all these things I couldn’t explain and I couldn’t understand. And certainly nothing popped out. And then it became apparent that this was happening in different parts of the country.
VanEngelsdorp helped give the die-off a name, colony collapse disorder, or CCD. Suddenly, bees were big news.
The population of honey bees down roughly 25% across this country.
It’s a simple equation. Without bees to pollinate many plants, the plants just don’t grow.
The fear is that most of the honey bees will be dead.
Dad, we have to do something. All the bees are dying.
Oh, no! No bees.
Colony collapse disorder. The mystery fascinated the public and strange explanations soon began to spread.
You buy that this could be a Russian plot?
The rapture, God calling other bees back to heaven?
I don’t think he needs them up there.
But much of the television coverage missed an important bit of back story. Beekeepers had been struggling to maintain their hives ever since the 1980’s, when the invasive varroa mite arrived in the US.
We have a saying, before the varroa mite you can be a beehaver, after the varroa mite you have to be a beekeeper, because you have to manage your bees.
Varroa mites infest and slowly weaken colonies, but Hackenberg’s CCD losses came quickly to colonies that appeared healthy.
A number of us thought that we might be dealing with a new pathogen, a novel pathogen. So if we can find that novel pathogen, let’s say a virus or something, then that might explain, that was the missing link.
The only thing we could say about CCD bees and it was a very distinct thing was that they were really sick, they sort of had every disease going.
One theory was that stress was making bees sick. To meet the growing pollination demands of large-scale agriculture, commercial beekeepers trucked their bees from state to state to pollinate crop after crop.
Some of us are running these bees two, three, four crops a year, pollinating, and so they don’t get a chance to ever get rejuvenated and it used to be you can get them on some for clean food for two or three weeks in the way they go, but pasture land and general it’s running out because of land being turned into crop land and so we’re running out of places to go with the bees.
More crops mean more pesticides and many beekeepers have blamed CCD on neonicotinoids, widely used chemicals that are absorbed by plants and can accumulate in pollen and nectar.
The European Union voted to suspend the use of neonicotinoids because of possible links to bee collapse.
The EPA is reviewing its pesticides but the direct link to CCD has not been established. Indeed most scientists now believe that no single factor can fully explain the phenomenon.
We are probably dealing with multiple factors coming together to cause a set of symptoms that we call CCD. Personally I would fall back to nutritional stress and maybe pesticide stress leading to pathogen outbreak, I call it. As to the pathogen or the types of pathogens that are there don’t really matter that much but the bees are in a weakened state and that allows these pathogens to multiply and cause, cause the bees to die.
Bees have this behaviour called altruistic suicide. What happens is that the bee somehow knows she’s sick, flies away from the hive so she doesn’t in fact infect her nest mates. So we think that explains this behaviour of collapse, why we are not finding dead bees and why we see this quick spiral down in the population.
In South America right now and moving north to North America, there’s a new strain of bees that…
Colony collapse was not the first time bees had captured the public attention.
This is the African killer bee, in the last four years responsible for the death of hundreds of people in South America.
In the 1970’s fears over the spread of Africanised honey bees gave bees a bad name. But since the onset of colony collapse disorder, bees have become a symbol of environmental protection.
If you couldn’t understand that they were singing, all we’re saying is give bees a chance.
When people saw the bees they said, ah, ah, here’s something that I can really do something significant. You can save the bees by actually getting some bees. Hobby beekeeper Jim Fisher keeps about two dozen beehives on Manhattan rooftops. And he teaches beekeeping classes in Central Park and Brooklyn. He says enrollment surged in the wake of the CCD mystery.
Hundreds of people, more people that can fit in a room started attending the classes.
They call it urban beekeeping and it’s getting a ton of buzz.
Pre media blitz prior to pre CCD beekeeping was a hobby taken up by retired white blue-collar guys for the most part. The demographic immediate became a lot younger, a lot more female.
They got a good home, they got lots of comb. Before I started, I, I was nervous because of all the diseases but as a community across the country we’re eventually going to figure it out and being part of that process I think that is for the common good.
There’s been a couple of silver linings on the CCD story. One is just public awareness about the role that pollinators play in the food supply. It’s also brought new researchers from other areas.
Scientists are attaching tiny back packs to honey bees in order to study them.
These radio frequency ID tags track bees as they move through the landscape.
To help better understand the causes of colony collapse disorder, at Harvard University scientists are taking a different approach. They’ve engineered the robo-bee. It’s still in working progress and there are several other potential uses, but these miniature robots could one day assist with crop pollination. But the dire predictions of falling bee populations leading to a food crisis have not come to pass. Beekeepers replace their dead hives, so there are just as many honey bee colonies in the US today as there were in 2006.
We are not worried at all the bees are going to go extinct in this country or in the world. What we are worried about it is that we will have the beekeepers.
We are buying bees to keep our head above water. It’s not the basic beekeeping that I remember as a kid, then as a young guy running bees, you know. It’s….There’s a whole lot of things that have changed. There’s lots of days I would like to pull the plug and I would just walk away but I like what I’m doing, I mean, you know. It’s something that gets in your system and doesn’t go away.
Today honey bee colonies continue to die off in large numbers but the CCD mystery has a new twist.
We haven’t seen as much CCD over the past few years. The classic symptom of CCD has changed, or disappeared but we’re still losing a lot of colonies, and that can be for a variety of reasons. Parasitic varroa mite, pesticide exposure, poor nutrition, nutritional stress and in particular we’ve been seeing a lot of queen loss. So we’re doing some queen experiments here so there’s a multitude of things that beekeepers are facing to try and keep colonies alive in addition to CCD

Around 25% of Turkey’s 78-million population works in the agriculture industry. This makes ageing Europe and the chaotic Middle East envious. As long as we can prevent industrial pollution of agricultural land, establish modern agricultural facilities, raise awareness of irrigation, seeds and fertilizers, productive and abundant days await us.
We care deeply about our initial step and succeeding actionsand act with great care. We have begun to return 70 decares of disused Antalya orange grove back to its original state and have also planted pomegranates in the same orchards.
We have combined traditional methods with the latest scientific methods. We are well aware that agriculture is hard work that requires patience. We don’t expect a return on our financial and emotional investment in a hurry because we believe in the generosity of Mother Nature.

POST TAGSHome Maintenance
Blog posted On April 06, 2022
Caring for your yard has endless benefits for both your health and financial well-being. Studies have found that yard care and gardening can boost your mood and mental health, not to mention boost your home’s value a little. If you’re getting ready to warm up the lawn mower or start the watering hose, here are three tips to remember when caring for your yard.
Different areas across the country have different seasons for optimal planting. Different types of grass also require different seasons for growth. The golden rule of backyarding is, “right plant, right place.” Location, maintenance, sunlight, water, and plant type should all be considered when gardening or caring for your lawn. But the bottom line is that you should plant as early as possible during the recommended season to see the best results. If you plant too late in the recommended season, you may not see the desired results for your lawn. Adding trees, bushes, flowers, and shrubs can be a good addition to your yard, but they will take a long time to grow.
You might have certain designs or visions for your yard, but remember that everything you put in your yard or do to your yard will have an effect on the full ecosystem. If you take away plants, trees, or shrubs, you’re taking away food and shelter for different wildlife. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to leave your yard untamed and ungroomed, but there is a way to properly optimize the landscape of your yard to suit both your vision and the wildlife that lives there. Becoming more aware of your landscape can help you have a more positive effect on the environment and even climate change. Check your climate zone and research landscaping options that can support the birds, bees and other wildlife in the area.
There is such a thing as over watering your yard. When caring for your yard, make sure that you are watering at the right time as well as with the right amount. If you overwater your yard, your grass and roots will get lazy, growing in a horizontal pattern. If you water the proper amount, your roots will grow vertically deeper. To help you water at the right time and provide the right amount to your yard, consider installing a smart controller on your irrigation systems. And when it comes to cutting your grass, make sure you don’t go too short. Typically, 2 to 3 inches is just enough.
Considering a larger backyard renovation project? Consider our renovation loan options – which can help you finance your remodels and combine the costs of your mortgage. You can also opt for a cash-out refinance to smartly invest in your renovations and add value to your home.

Well, the changing of the seasons has begun. Even though the weather report called for temps down to 6 Celsius, we woke up to patchy frost this morning.
We knew that summer was coming to an end, of course. We noticed the days growing shorter, the different planets in the sky at night, and the blooms withering on the wildflowers at the side of the road.
Still, we want to think we have a little more time to finish up with summer. Our tomatoes and corn were quite late this year and we hoped to take full advantage of those crops even though it is already September. The corn can handle a bit of frost, but I was already having trouble with the heirloom tomatoes. It seems pretty likely now that they will all be pig treats.
Soon it will be time to begin preparing in earnest for the changing season. Straw must be ordered and put away. The goats are coming into heat (as are their wild cousins, the deer!) and I need to find a new buck. The turkeys have their final appointment next Wednesday, and I have to make sure I pick up my newly purchased freezer before then.
It will stay quite warm this week during the day. We can go outside and do the things we need to do, soak up the sun for a little while, and pretend that it is still summer after all.

The food market, represented by the FDA, the USDA and several big corporations assert that genetically modified foods (GMO) are safe. Furthermore, they mention several extra elements supporting the requirement for genetic engineering in farming production. First amongst these is the increased production of crops that withstand drought, diseases, and insects. They also declare that GMO crops need less pesticide usage and this advantages the environment and customers. Lastly, they declare to produce much better foods that are richer in particular nutrients or missing specific natural toxic substances, such as mold.
All of these claims are additionally supported by the World Health Organization, the National Academy of Sciences and the American Medical Association who declare GMO foods to be as safe as other foods. Interestingly, numerous nations have actually prohibited the growing of GMO crops and others, at least, require labeling of GMO foods. Clearly, whole regions of the world are concerned about the capacity for toxicity in the food supplied by GMO foods.
Among the genetic modifications to corn, soy and sugar beets have actually been to make them “Roundup Ready”. This implies these crops are engineered to resist the effects of glyphosate, the main ingredient in the Roundup herbicide. Glyphosate obstructs the function of enzymes that help plants soak up nutrients. The plant then starves to death quickly.
This glyphosate residue then makes its method into the food supply, both for direct usage by humans in packaged foods and through animals, which are raised on GMO corn and soy. High levels of glyphosate have been found in soy and corn products. The issue is that glyphosate carries out the very same function in the human body as it does in plants. That is, glyphosate interrupts enzymes that help us to take in nutrients, which can result in a host of illnesses. If you’ve consumed any packaged foods just recently, then you have actually most likely consumed glyphosate.
Another genetic engineering involves resistance to pests such as worms. In this case, modified corn and squash products produce the exact same toxic substance that is produced by a germ that naturally happens in the soil. Bacillus thuringite NSIS (Bt) is typically utilized as a biological pesticide, sprayed on crops to damage getting into insects. When a pest attacks a GMO crop, the plant itself blocks the attack as the pest ingests the Bt toxic substance. Sadly, this toxic substance is also in the foods that make it to the shelf in cool bundles. From there, it gets in human bodies and causes damage to cells.
Preventing packaged food completely would be a great place to begin. If you can’t withstand, then examine the label closely. Lots of producers are starting to identify “non-GMO” components on their labels. In addition to trying to find “non-GMO” labels, some ingredients are clear indications of the presence of GMO components.
Choose products labeled 100% Organic, licensed by the USDA. To be certified natural methods that the crop is grown without making use of hazardous chemical and GMOs are not on the USDA’s approved list. Support your local farmer’s market, but make certain to ask concerns about their farming practices. Not all local farmers are non-GMO or follow natural practices. Lastly, grow your own veggies in your garden. A small space can produce a healthy supply of nutrients that you understand are safe.

If you have a garden of your own, it is important that you appreciate it and keep it tidy and nice, You can also use your garden to grow food which can be very beneficial to you in many different ways, you would have no doubt noticed the prices of food in the market and on top of that, you would have noticed the prices of organic food. Nearly everything that you eat on a daily basis whether it is your favorite crackers or an apple, is laced in dangerous chemicals that cause cancer and pesticides that have given rise to numerous diseases. As such, growing your own food can means saving money on food and having the healthier option of organic food at a fraction of the cost as well.
Starting a small business out of it
If you can get some landscape gardeners to come in and clean up your garden professionally and prepare it for growing food, you will be able to have a thriving garden in no time. In most cases, you will not be able to eat all of the produce that you manage to get from your new garden after it has grown successfully and therefore there is also a small business opportunity for you to start selling the organic produce that you grow to friends and family, There will not be massive amounts of money in it but you can certainly make quite a bit based on the prices of organic food and you could also be helping your friends and family to stay healthy and possibly even saving their lives if they eat their produce solely from you.
Landscaping is an art and there are many amazing techniques you can learn. A quick look on the internet will show you hundreds of amazing ideas for things that you can do for your garden to make it look amazing and in essence, a work of art.
Gardening is not only useful but it is also a very relaxing hobby that will relax you after a long day at the office. It will provide you with hours of relaxation and learning to create a stunning garden that you can spend many hours in. You can relax in your garden with a coffee and a good book when you need a break from life because spending time with nature is indeed an amazing feeling. You can even grow food or fruit trees in your garden in order to give your garden some shade on a hot sunny day.

The greatest blessing and joy of being a virtual gardener is a trip to the farmers market. This week I went with my dear friend Rozie. We spoke about (among many other things) ways to be more creative in ones life. When she dropped me off, she said "Now I have to go home and deal with these vegetables." I thought I would have to "deal" with my vegetables as well. But when I took them out of my canvas bags, I was intrigued by this week's selection and decided to arrange them in an artful still life. Aside from the first harvest of tender spring greens, this is time of year most anticipated. After reading "Animal Vegetable Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver, I have begun to eat vegetables and fruit in season and locally grown when I can. This meant no apples all summer. Those 2 honey crisp apples have been long anticipated. Honey Crisps live up to their name!
Another favorite of mine is Cranberry Beans. They are so much fun to pop out of their pods because each bean is unique and almost seems to be hand painted. Alas they do turn bean colored after they are cooked, BUT they cook in 20 minutes without soaking or anything. Of course, if I dried them I would have to soak them overnight and cook them for a long time. I freeze them, so I can enjoy fresh beans all year long. When I take a bag out of the freezer, they still take only 20 minutes to cook.
After I dealt with the vegetables, I decided to whip up a little bean, fennel, and corn soup. I didn't use any of the cranberry beans (I froze them). The beans on the left (I can't remember their name) I had never seen before. They were already shelled, so I don't know what their pod looks like either. They looked really yummy and mixed them with a little of the black beans.
I guess I should post a picture of the finished product since the soup is fabulous. I have plenty so I'll snap a picture at my next dinner.

What a difference a year can make! July 2022 saw a record-breaking temperature of over 400C
. This year, in stark contrast we have just endured one of the wettest Julys ever recorded, adding pressure and complication to both harvest and sowing. Whilst moisture is a key driver to establishing OSR it’s also a huge challenge when trying to harvest nearly twelve months of hard work and investment. Fortunately, LG genetics can help de-risk some of the challenges with such traits as pod shatter resistance and high vigour in our OSR, or standing power, sprouting resistance, harvest date and disease resistance in autumn cereals. Whilst we have no influence on the weather, we can make a big difference with the choices we make when selecting varieties for the next season. Which is where dealing with a Nickerson Seed Specialist can have a positive effect on helping growers select the correct varieties to maximise the benefit from strong LG genetics.

Want to support local agriculture in North Brooklyn?
Grab a slice of tiramisu from the bake sale at the first ever Gay Ole Opry tonight at Public Assembly. The proceeds from the desserts go to Just Food, the group that helps neighborhoods and farmers organize CSAs. Just Food helped El Puente start the first CSA in the neighborhood. Since 2000 the eat local movement has exploded, with our neighborhood now supporting seven CSA’s!
If you love vegetables (or even just want to), joining a neighborhood CSA is a great way to participate in the local sustainability movement and get the freshest food possible. Each CSA is its own special thing, partnering with different farms that grow different types of produce, and have varying degrees of volunteer requirements. March & April is the time to sign up for this Summer’s farm share; Most CSAs sell out in April so it is important to check them out now…
- Eagle Street Rooftop Farm CSA distributes on Tuesday nights, Waterfront Greenpoint

LA NACIÓN, JUNE 27, 2015
In La Moraleja, a 200-hectare dam stores water to irrigate through the drip system 3000 hectares of lemons; after harvested, they are industrialized in oil, concentrated juice and husk to be exported.
APOLINARIO SARAVIA, Salta. – On a scale rarely seen in the country, La Moraleja is the most striking case of the power of transformation of man over nature to generate food and jobs. Where there was a mount in Salta, today there are 3000 hectares of lemons drip irrigated, probably the largest area in the world under this system and a factory that industrializes and exports 90% of its products: lemon oil, concentrated juices and dehydrated skin. We must add as a secondary activity, if the term fits the dimensions, 40 hectares of greenhouses to produce tomatoes, peppers and melons. And where no more than a dozen workers could be employed in an extensive activity, 1,500 people are employed, 400 in a fixed way and 1100 as temporary workers.
The beginning of this productive miracle, which last year won in the Best Agrifood Industry category in the Award for Agricultural Excellence granted by La Nación and Banco Galicia, is due to obstinacy and stubbornness. Ignacio Blanco is a Spanish agronomist who arrived to Argentina at the beginning of the eighties, commissioned by the Sanchis family to take over the field they had bought in Salta. Ignacio Blanco was clinging to a truth he had learned in the region of León where he had been born and barely raining just over 400 millimeters per year: without water, there is no possible production. The first thing he observed was that the field of Apolinario Saravia had a variable rainfall regime and was in the summer months. The 800 millimeters per year fell all together and did not change the situation of crop water deficit.
But the water that did not come from the storms was in the Cabeza de Vaca stream that passed through the establishment. The water course went through an absolute indifference without anyone thinking of taking advantage of it. For Ignacio Blanco, this situation represented the height of nonsense. He then persisted in using many years to build, with limited resources and own machinery, a channel that separates the stream and a 200-hectare dam with the capacity to store 11 million cubic meters of water. And he could locate it in the highest part of La Moraleja so that, by gravity, and without the use of energy, the entire surface could be watered. “Everyone here was against this idea. They thought I was crazy. The important thing is that the dam worked and never broke. Without water we were never going to be able to water the lemons and the greenhouses and get to have this productive project,” says Blanco, who with more than seventy years is a concentrate of will and knowledge.
Once the dam was built, it was thought to irrigate sugarcane crops. Until lemon appeared. Or rather the agreement with one of the world giants of soft drinks, whose name they maintain in the utmost confidentiality, which assured them the purchase for twenty years of the lemon oil.
This gave them a security and a horizon to bet heavily on the project and generated the final turn to La Moraleja. So they set to work and while the lemon plants were growing they started the construction of the factory that took them about two years. They had to synchronize the production times with those of the industry until joining the full integration. It was not easy if you take into account that the process begins in lemon seedlings in greenhouses that are then grafted to tangerines, for having a better and healthier root system, to then be transplanted in the field. A process that takes at least four years until the profitable production of lemon has just begun. From then on, each plant can produce lemons per year 2000, albeit in a very variable way, achieving its peak of production in the ninth year. Its end of cycle is around eighteen. It goes without saying that all the activity around the lemon, from beginning to end, takes a lot of labor. They calculate that making a lemon plant leaves around $10. “You make the road by walking. Errors are natural, but the ability is to change on time and not insist on mistakes. That was our great skill,” confesses Ignacio Blanco as a piece of advice.
The commercial agreement that guaranteed them the purchase of lemon oil for twenty years also allowed them to give another great twist on the project: install drip irrigation on the entire surface planted with lemons. They traveled to Israel and hired the Israeli company Naan Dan to carry out the design and advice. The aqueduct was made by the Argentine company General Plastic.
At the time of construction, according to Israeli technicians, it was the largest project worldwide. With the particularity that irrigation is carried out by gravity. 7700 kilometers of pipes were used. Drip irrigation conforms to the concept of producing more with less to be one of the most efficient systems in the use of the resource. The necessary drop of water is deposited underground, avoiding the evaporations and losses that may occur on the surface. In addition to its use can eliminate diseases that arise from the contact of water with leaves.
The daily decision to water is taken from the information provided by phyto-monitors. By means of sensors in the leaves, in the plant and in the soil they measure the growth and estimate the future production. In addition, thanks to the management of historical data of the region of temperature and humidity can predict from the attack of fungi until the time of the harvest. They also take advantage of the system to irrigate contributing to the cultivation of lemons doses of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
The demand for lemon oil by the world’s leading soft drink companies prompted an ambitious expansion plan in La Moraleja. The objective is to add 1000 hectares of lemons in the next four years. This increase will generate new jobs. They estimate that they will have 450 fixed and 2100 temporary people by the time the project ends.
Although protagonist, the lemon is not the exclusive actor of La Moraleja. The 15 hectares of tomato and melons respectively and the 10 hectares of pepper, all under greenhouse and drip irrigation, occupy a prominent place from the commercialization under its own brand, Montesol. They invoice 2.5 million dollars per year and demand a large labor force of 4 wages per hectare. “Our strength is in trying everything we can, be new varieties as new techniques. We are constantly adapting, not copying, the good that we see outside,” says Ramón Palma, responsible for horticultural production.

Knowing What To Feed Pygmy Goats
When considering what to feed pygmy goats one must take into account the age of the goat. Young pygmy goats have a digestive system that acts as a human or dogs stomach.
What the young pygmy goat eats will go through into the abomasum where the stomach will then digest the milk. As the goat matures and begins to eat hay, the rumen begins to develop.
Goats are one of the animals that have a rumen system. A rumen system consists of a stomach with four compartments. These are the reticulum, the omasum, the rumen and the abomasum.
It’s like having a fermentation vat where the microorganisms work on the foods that are eaten. AS a goat eats roughage like hay or other pasture plants, they add saliva to these foods and the swallow the saliva.
Some time later they will regurgitate (burp) it back up and chew it up more completely. Goats are great at this and will make ideal use of such pasture plants and hay.
Most goat owners prefer legume hay over grass hay as the alfalfa and the clover hay provide the goats body with more protein than that of other hay’s.
As the goat ages, they will begin to use more of the roughages in their diet. They will be able to do this more effectively than a young goat can.
Goats are perfectly content to graze and browse around the pasture foraging as they go. There are three basic types of plants that they forage for, grasses, forbs and what is referred to as browse.
These plants are made up of fescue grass, orchard grass and such grasses as bluegrass. Forbs are a broad leaf plant like dandelion or clover or even wild lettuce.
Browse is such things as brush, vines like oak or blackberry, rabbit brush and other similar plants.
For this reason, many cattlemen run their goats in with the cattle. Cattle prefer one type of grass and goats another so it helps them to make good use of their pastures.
Goats also help to prevent other weeds and brush from crowding out the good grasses and brush in the pasture.
In the summertime, goats that aren’t being milked heavily will do well on the pasture. Younger goats and those who are heavily milked will also require some more high energy foods such as corn, oats, barley and milo.
Grains won’t need to be ground as the goat will chew them enough to digest them and then regurgitate them later to complete the process of chewing on them.
Rolled grains are often more palatable than that of a ground grain. Rolled grains are far superior to whole grains as younger goats can be started on them and learn to digest them properly.
Goats require plenty of protein and plenty of fresh water to thrive. The protein will provide the required energy, vitamins and the minerals that their body’s require to function properly. Once these needs are met you’ll know what to feed pygmy goats.

WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) – Experts say Washington apple growers may be in for higher returns with large crop amounts expected and a decline in apple production in Europe, Mexico and Canada.
The Washington State Tree Fruit Association’s Aug. 1 forecast estimates this year’s crop will yield 130.9 million, 40-pound boxes. The record Washington apple harvest was 143.6 million boxes in 2014
World apple market analyst and retired university agricultural economist Desmond O’Rourke tells the Capital Press that Europe’s apple crop suffered a 21 percent decline because of frost damage and weather. According to O’Rourke, Mexico is experience a 30 percent drop in its apple production, and Canada’s is down by 5 percent.
He says a weakening dollar may also improve the state’s foreign market opportunities. O’Rouke also told the Capital Press there are still over 5 million boxes of apples from the 2016 crop that still have to be sold and may hamper marketing efforts of the new crop.
The 2017 harvest is getting underway and Stemilt was set to begin Gala harvest on Sunday in Mattawa, according to Robin Graham, assistant general manager.
Graham told the Capital Press “Weather is looking good, moderate. The trend so far is cool nights and warm days which is what we want,” he said.
Cool nights and warm days develop apple color and sugar.

The women at J.Lynn's are learning to garden this week.
YES they have been planting their entire lives but we want them to rethink about how and why they plant.
We know this is a big challenge but we're committed to doing our best that the Komeza women GET it!!
Just because I don't have a piece of land doesn't mean I can't grow vegetables.
What do I buy now at the market or local kiosk that I could grow?
Yes, it does matter how we treat the land and how we plant!
Yes, God does care about my planting.
Even as I write this... I'm praying for rain. Usually at this time of year we have an abundance of rain and it is not so this year. Crops are drying up ... which is not good.

• PERU: grapes, pomegranate, mangoes, figs, blueberries and dates.
• U.S: grapes, apples, pears, etc.
We help importers and retailers to find the right supplier, according to the season. By connecting them with suppliers from different parts of the world, we help them to source fruit all year round.
Chile’s natural features, its phytosanitary wealth, and its condition as a counter-season with larger consumer markets, are part of the foundations of the successful development that the Chilean fruit industry has had. The Chilean fruit industry has been consolidated as one of the main export activities of the country, with fresh fruit export values for more than US$ 5,000 million anually (FOB value).
For years, farmers and businessmen involved in agriculture have worked in an efficient and clean manner, producing different fruits that are highly praised worldwide.
Chilean wines, from entry level to the most finest premium wines Chilean Wine is known for its excellent quality, consistency, and reasonable prices. This has positioned Chile as the wine country of the New World and the fourth largest exporter of wines around the world. The use of technology has allowed improving constantly the quality of the produced wines, a fact that is recognized on a yearly basis by numerous awards at the most prestigious international contests.
Currently, there are over 340 vineyards covering a surface of 125,000 hectares of different varieties. Chile exports more than 900 million liters of wine to more than 145 countries in all continents. BDP's offers a wide range of wines, we have a large group of wineries, which have a wide portfolio of wines: bulk, entry level and the most finest premium wines.
Prunes, raisings, walnuts, almonds and dates.
Chile is the largest prune exporter in the world, present in over 70 countries. Around 11 thousand hectares of plums are planted in Chile for dehydrating, and close to 75 thousand tons are produced annually. And Chile is the N°1 walnut exporter of the southern hemisphere and is among the top three providers worldwide. The Mediterranean climate and unique geographical, weather and soil conditions permits a top-quality products in terms of size, color, aroma and taste.
Perú is the larger dates producer in south hemisphere, making them a very attractive provider for countries with a high Muslim population in the northern hemisphere.
Salmon, mussels and much more
The Chilean Fish and Seafood Industry - particularly trout and salmon - has been one of the icons of Chile's economic drive, comparative advantages, and competitive nature at a global scale. In just two decades of development, this activity has become one of the stars of Chile's economy.
The Chilean Salmon Industry is characterized by its great innovative spirit. 20 years ago, salmon harvesting was a gamble that required making great efforts in investigation and constant innovation to adapt to a highly competitive global environment. Thanks to trade of products with added value, Chile is currently the second producer of Salmon in the World, and the first producer of Trout worldwide. Chile is now the second largest producer of salmon world, after Norway and it is also among the top five mussel growers.
High quality extra virgin olive oil.
An ideal Mediterranean climate for this species and a lengthy experience in agro-industrial production, have allowed the Chilean olive oil industry to achieve efficiency with a product renowned worldwide, capable of competing with the top ranked olive oils around the globe.
The companies associated with BDP have thousands of hectares of olive plantations. All are high density orchards managed with the most modern production techniques. They annually produce close to 4 million liters of extra virgin, organic, and flavored olive oils, with production increasing every year.
Frozen fruits and vegetables, pulp & purees, meats
Chile currently produces a wide variety of high quality foods. Among these areas of production are frozen vegetables, pulp, meat, industries which have seen strong growth in the past few years.
With the sophistication of the food industry as a worldwide tendency, and the growing demand of products with a high added value, a new generation of processed foods has emerged in Chile: unique, sophisticated, competitive , and with high quality standards, this generation of premium foods has been designated as gourmet products. foto de fruta congelada que envié en mail anterior.

Scottish agriculture minister, Lord Lindsay, has offered his support to those involved in setting up a national garden for Scotland.
The minister was speaking as he toured Scotland's National Garden at Plean Country Park in Stirling.
Lord Lindsay said: 'Although my department's horticulture responsibilities are largely at the commercial end of that sector I fully appreciate the enthusiasm in Scotland for both gardening and visiting gardens which are open to the public. This enthusiasm reaches beyond horticulture to make an important contribution to our education, the environment, tourism and our heritage. I therefore wish the Scotland's national garden project every success.'

Aquaponics is a high-density food production arrangement that produces both plant matter and fish in one system with an absolute minimum of water usage.
Very little power is required to operate the Aquaponic system. The lower part of the system houses the fish that create the fertilizer for the plants. The plants are contained in what is called a “grow bed” which sits above the fish tank. A single water pump propels nutrient rich water from the fish tank to the grow bed(s). Plants become a natural filter as they absorb nourishment from fish waste, reducing or eliminating the water's toxicity for the aquatic life while the water fills the plant container. Once the plant container is full a device known as an “auto siphon” drains sparkling water effortlessly back to the fish tank using only the power of gravity. No external power is needed for the auto siphon to operate.
The water, now clean, is returned to the marine animal environment and the cycle continues. Aquaponic systems do not discharge or exchange water. The systems rely on the natural relationship between the aquatic animals and the plants to maintain the environment. Water is only added to replace water loss from absorption by the plants, and evaporation into the air.

WindForce PLC, the leading renewable energy producer in Sri Lanka marks yet again another commemorable milestone with the 10MW agrovoltaic plant, Solar Universe. The plant was commissioned on the 28th of September and was officially opened by Hon. Kanchana Wijesekera, Minister of Power and Energy, Sri Lanka, on the 11th of October 2022.
The construction of this 10MW ground mounted solar power plant started in September of 2021 and was commissioned 10 months after. Being an agrovoltaic plant, Solar Universe is the first of its kind for the company, as well as for Sri Lanka.
Agrovoltaic plants combine the growth of agricultural crops with solar power production, optimizing the use of land to increase its efficiency. Seeing that both solar power plants and agricultural crops need to be located in areas with access to ample levels of sunlight, the concept of agrovoltaic plants caters to the needs of two sectors.
The Solar Universe plant, located in Vavunathivu, will consist of plots of land allocated to local farmers who may tend to the crops they grow and subsequently sell their harvests; paving the way for an additional source of income for them. After considering the climate and soil profile in the area, crops such as peanuts, green chillies, beans, turnips and watermelons are already in the process of being grown. This agrovoltaic plant supports the company’s efforts towards normalizing the use of renewable energy and creating a sustainable environment, and additionally increases food production and creates a livelihood for the local communities.
WindForce PLC holds a 33.33% stake of the new Solar Universe plant, which will additionally increase the company’s solar portfolio to 134.6 MW. The company is simultaneously in the midst of constructing their latest wind power plant, Hiruras Power, in Mannar. This 15MW (10+5) wind power plant is expected to be completed by the end of December 2022. This will increase the company’s wind portfolio to 84.2 MW.
Overall, with the addition of Solar Universe and Hiruras Power, WindForce’s total installed capacity will increase to 245MW by the end of FY22/23 with an effective capacity of 146.5MW.

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) now governs all food and feed producing farms in the USA. How it impacts your farm in particular depends largely upon your gross annual sales and the types of markets where you sell. On Friday, 2/23/18, NC Cooperative Extension offers a free “Six Steps to Safe Food and Legal Sales for Small Farms under FSMA” workshop in Taylorsville, NC. The workshop will take place from 11:00-2:30 PM at the Alexander Extension Learning Center (376 1st Ave SW, Taylorsville NC). This workshop is free and open to all current and potential farmers of vegetables and fruits at any scale. A sponsored lunch will be provided.
The FSMA for Small Farms workshop will cover 6 Food Safety Practices essential for all farms. These are the practices that are expected by the FDA, by wholesale buyers, and by knowledgeable consumers. The workshop will then help participants walk-through an “Exempt or Not? Navigating the qualifications” exercise to determine how the FSMA Produce Rule will govern each participant’s own operation. Certain scales and types of farms will be legally required to demonstrate their food safety compliance with additional records and data, but many local family farms will be able to operate under the “Qualified Exempt’ status built into FSMA in order to reduce burdens on small farm operations.
Workshop leaders will also educate participants in how FSMA will affect any CSA’s & Food Hubs that growers many be part of, and focus on the confluence of required practices under FSMA as a preparation & requirement for potential GAP audits & certifications.
Interested growers should register by 2/20/18 by e-mailing Lenny Rogers at firstname.lastname@example.org or calling the Alexander Cooperative Extension Center at 828-632-4451.

When grocery stores are miles away, eating your portion of healthy fruits and vegetables can seem like an unattainable goal. The Georgia Tech community garden aims to not only provide a way to get these nutrients but also bring people together through common interests of gardening and sustainability.
The community garden, located adjacent to the Instructional Center, includes several long plots for gardening, a hand-built shed for tools, composting bins and lots and lots of love. About ten students can be found out working early on Saturday mornings at least once a month.
“We thought it would be a really great place for us to gather and have fun growing organic produce, where people know they can go to learn about sustainability in a nice environment,” said Clare Trively, first-year CS and Vice President of Students Organizing for Sustainability. “A lot of times sustainability is forced down people’s throats, and I think that’s part of the reason people are a little turned off by it.”
Trively says that working in the garden is a great way to destress after a long week, as well as an opportunity to get service hours for Greek life or service organizations. On a given work day, around ten students can be found getting their hands dirty in the garden.
As an initiative started years ago by Students Organizing for Sustainability (S.O.S.), the garden has been slowly but steadily growing. Currently, the club is working on constructing picnic tables out of colorfully painted wood, as well as a fence in anticipation of future bee hives to be added.
Trively hopes that new picnic tables will make the space inviting and a more obvious place for students to spend time hanging out or studying by the community garden.
“A lot of people don’t actually know that it’s there,” says Trively.
S.O.S. has rather ambitious plan to expand the community garden over the next few years. Students in the future could potentially enjoy a greenhouse and other larger projects that would utilize the resources and technology that Tech can provide.
Funding for continuing improvements and work on the garden comes from both the Serve Learn Sustain initiative on campus and the Student Government Association.
As of this semester, S.O.S. has a new executive board of first years who were chosen to take over the group, all of whom are passionate about the environment and sustainability.
“I lived in Scandinavia for two years. Over there, the attitude towards sustainability is a lot more serious,” Trively said. “When I came back, I was still really passionate about it and I wanted it to be more of a practiced thing.”
The garden isn’t all flowers and trees; the group grows organic foods that they use in their diets.
“We usually get lots of upperclassmen on the workdays, and they want to use the food in their kitchens,” Trively said.
The group is always looking for new ideas for what to grow, and is excited to welcome interested individuals or groups to join their work days. They make a deal with their attendees — help garden or help with other projects, and in return, take home the literal fruits of their labor.
Small plots of the garden are also available for individual or group use, and a few married couples in the Tech community already take advantage of this.
In addition to their work with the garden, S.O.S. tries to raise awareness about everyday sustainability issues. Last semester, they tabled on Skiles Walkway and handed out free Blue Donkey coffee grounds and reusable K-Cups.
Their biggest commitment and passion, however, seems to remain with the garden. “The community garden really does function like the heart of our organization,” Trively said.
This semester, S.O.S. is organizing a group of students to attend the March for Science Atlanta, a celebration and support of science on April 22 for Earth Day. Their goal is to incorporate sustainability into as many parts of campus as they can and show easy ways to incorporate it into people’s lives.
“If you walk up to us and just say that you’re interested in gardening, we will just be excited that you’re there,” Trively said. “Honestly, it means the most to us that people just want to come and learn.”
All students and other community members are invited to keep up with S.O.S.’s events on their Facebook page and to attend work days.

Beauty of the Sri Lanka Tea Gardens
Sri Lanka located in the south of Asia in a natural paradise of for good quality tea produced in the Sri Lanka tea gardens. The country of Sri Lanka is one of the biggest exporters of tea in the world market. The tea from the Sri Lankan tea gardens is rich in aroma and quality and it is best quality tea that is available in the world market today and the demand of the Sri Lankan tea has been on a huge increase from year to year basis.
There are many tea gardens in Sri Lanka where the tea leaves are grown and then they are processed and different then they are ready to be sold in the market.
There is reason behind the quality of the Sri Lankan tea and the reason is very much logical. During the British era the British brought the tea plants from the places like Kolkata and Assam in India and China and planted them in Sri Lanka which became the Sri Lanka tea gardens and today produce the best quality tea in the whole world. Also Sri Lanka is ranked 3rd among the world’s largest producers of tea and it meets 19% of the total experts demand of the tea.
The tea gardens in Sri Lanka are located in Central Highlands and the places where the Sri Lanka tea gardens are present are Galle, Matara, Nuwara, Eliya and Dambulla. The climate of all these places are very ,much suitable for the productions of the tea leaves and hence good quality aromatic tea are produced in the tea gardens of all these places of Sri Lanka.
Famous Sri Lanka Tea Garden Areas
There are many important tea gardens that are present in Sri Lanka. Most of the tea production of Sri Lanka takes place in the Nuwara Eliya. The British started planting tea in the county of Sri Lanka and for this reason the Nuwara Eliya is called the capital of the Sri Lankan tea industry. If someone drives past this place of Nuwara Eliya then one can see the tea gardens that cover large acres of land and these are covered with emerald tea bushes that are green in color.
Apart from the Nuwara Eliya the Kandy, Matara and Galle are also important places of tea production in the country. All these places have such suitable climate for tea productions that they have made the country of Sri Lanka the 3rd highest producer of Tea in the world. The Sri Lankan tea production from the Sri Lanka tea gardens is very much important to the economy of Sri Lanka and also to the world market .
The Sri Lanka tea gardens employ more than one million people directly or indirectly. It is a huge medium of foreign exchange for the country and it is great source of income for the laborers in the country.
The Tea Trees Found in the Sri Lanka Tea Gardens:
Ceylon black tea:
The Ceylon black tea is one among the specialties of the country. It has an excellent aroma reminiscent of the citrus and it can be used both as unmixed and also in its blends. It is grown on various Sri Lanka tea gardens in places that differ in altitude and the taste.
Ceylon green tea:
The Ceylon green tea is mostly made of the Assam tea stocks. They are found in the Idalgashinna in the Uva Province. This type of tea normally has the full body and they are more pungent is smell and do not have malty or the nutty flavor aroma of the tea plants originating from the seed stock of Assam.
All the tea grade names of the most Ceylon green tea are reflective of the traditional Chinese variety of the green tea nomenclature, such as gunpowder tea that is tightly rolled or the mostly opened leaf grades of tea with the traditional Chinese names like the Chun Mee. The green tea of Sri Lanka have characteristics that are unique at the present time and they are darker in the dry as well as infused leaf with a flavor that is rich and even this might change in future time.
As change is required to sustain the market demands the Ceylon green tea producers have started using the more of the original Chinese, Indonesian, Japanese and Brazilian seed base which can produce very light with sparkling bright yellow color and that are more delicate and sweet in flavor with which is the identifying feature with which world market knows the green tea.
Sri Lanka is presently a very minor producer of green tea and its green teas compared to those produced in the countries of Indian and China remains as an acquired taste. Most of the green tea that is produced in Sri Lanka is used for exports to the North Africa and also Middle Eastern markets.
Ceylon white tea:
The Ceylon white tea which is also known as silver tips is very costly and prices are charged on per kilogram basis and hence obviously their prices are significantly high than other type of tea. This tea was firstly produced in the country in the Nuwara Eliya region near. The production of this type of tea involves growing it then harvesting and finally rolling by hand so as the leaves get the leaves dried and then they are left to be withered in the sun.
The Ceylon white tea has a very delicate and light liquoring that is coupled with the notes of pine and honey and an infusion of golden coppery .this type of tea in grown and found near the Galle region which is located in the in the southern part of the country Sri Lanka.
Visiting Sri Lanka and not going to visit the diverse Sri Lanka tea gardens means a great miss for the visitors and one must visit these diverse and beautiful tea gardens that are natural paradise of tea production during the tour of Sri Lanka.

As I place a lot of importance of healthy eating with my family, I just LOVE the idea of growing my own garden. You can’t eat much more “local” than eating food that comes directly from your own backyard and you can’t get much more nutritious than fruits and veggies picked straight from the vine! On top of that, it saves you a ton of money! I love following Kim’s posts about her experience and expertise with her beautiful and abundant garden. The tips and advice she is able to provide are inspiring and beyond helpful. What a great resource Kim is! However, I am also embarrassed to admit that I am a little bit jealous . . . In theory, growing a traditional garden is just not a viable option for me. Why you may ask? Well, I hate to admit it, but there are several reasons.
First of all, I live in Oakley. If you are not familiar with Cincinnati, Oakley is technically in the city. So, my backyard (if you can call it that) consists of a small paver patio and barely enough green space for the kiddos to run around in. I simply and sadly don’t have the space to create a traditional garden. Second, and probably even more importantly, I do not have a green thumb. Okay, I don’t even have a green fingernail. If I can keep a bouquet of roses alive for more than a few days, I’m doing good. REAL good. Third,the free time it takes to nurture a traditional garden is something I currently don’t have. I love the idea of the stress relief and therapy tending and caring for a garden can provide but I just don’t have the time to keep up with the maintenance. I really wish that I did (: Kim, your gardening abilities are truly inspiring!!
So, if you are up against any of the same challenges as I am, you probably think that growing a garden simply is not an option for your family. Well, SURPRISE – guess again! I am so excited to tell you about a brand new product on the market that can change all of that! It’s called the Tower Garden. I know . . . it’s called the WHAT??? What in the heck is a Tower Garden???
In a nutshell, the Tower Garden is an aeroponic/hydroponic vertical growing system. (just hang in with me here, it will make more sense as you read on!) It’s perfect for rooftops, patios, balconies –any relatively sunny place outside. You don’t need much space as it is about 5 feet tall and about 2.5 ft wide. You can grow up to 20 different plants at one time : beans, broccoli, chard, cucumbers, lettuce, melons, peas, squash, strawberries, tomatoes and all kinds of herbs – whatever is your family’s favorite!!
With the Tower Garden you can grow a tremendous amount of produce in a small space without the challenges of a traditional garden . As it is an aeroponic and hydroponic growing system, so there is no dirt! A garden with no dirt?? I know it sounds completely weird and confusing but it is seriously cool, easy, and works. The basics are that water, nutrients, and air are constantly cycling through the tower to feed the roots of the plants. This means that you can grow in your backyard, year round, and there is no weeding, tilling, kneeling, or getting dirty! It’s like an EASY button for gardening.
Even better for me, there is no need to have a green thumb. Hooray!! It’s eco-friendly too as it uses less than 10% of the water and land commonly used in traditional gardening. An even smarter garden for the environment.
Okay, so if you are still wondering what the heck I am talking about you’ve got to take a peek at these videos.
Here is a quick 4 week time lapse video showing how the produce in the Tower Garden grows:
And, another great video describing the Tower Garden Experience:
If you’d like more info, you can visit my Tower Garden website. If you have any questions or would like to get started on your own Tower Garden, I am happy to help. I will also be having urban gardening workshops this spring so if you are interested in being on the invite list, please email me at Jenniferacombs@hotmail.com or give me a call 513-515-2228.

Chicken Mushroom Wild Rice Soup
Wholesome Ingredients in a Savory Stock
Chicken Mushroom Wild Rice Soup
This wild rice soup brings together the goodness of wild rice, fresh mushrooms, and tender pieces of chicken in a savory stock.
A mystique surrounds wild rice in part because of its intimate place in the culture of native Americans living within its habitats. Envisioning canoes being carefully poled through rice beds as part of the traditional harvest adds to our perception of its exotic quality.
The Beauty of Wild Rice
Wild rice is a beautiful aquatic plant that thrives in shallow lakes and along the borders of slow-moving streams, especially in certain areas of North America.
Its abundant growth in areas of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and immediately north in areas of Canada was a bounty of nature that sustained life for the native Americans living there.
The ingenuity of these tribes led to the perfection of harvesting techniques which were implemented by poling canoes through the wild rice beds.
Wild Rice Harvesting Methods Pioneered by the Tribes of the Great Lakes
In her book The Backwoods of Canada, published in 1836, Catherine Parr Traill describes a flowering rice bed as she passes through in her canoe.
“…It has a beautiful appearance with its broad grassy leaves and light waving spikes, garnished with pale yellow green blossoms, delicately shaded with reddish purple, from beneath which fall three elegant straw-colored anthers, which move with every breath of air or slightest motion of the waters.”
Generally speaking, the harvesting and processing of the wild rice was carried out in five phases.
1. Tying - Many tribes began the harvesting process by tying the standing stalks into small bunches using strips of bark. After two or three weeks when the rice had reached the proper maturity, they, usually women, would return to the rice beds to begin gathering the grain.
2. Gathering - Gathering the grain required a team of at least two people in each canoe. One woman was responsible for carefully navigating the canoe through the beds using a forked pole. The other woman would collect the grain by reaching out to catch the bundles, bend them over the canoe, untie the strips of bark, and quickly tap the heads of rice with a specially designed stick releasing only the ready grains.
3. Curing and Drying - Because the wild rice had to be gathered immediately before full maturity when the slightest movement would cause the matured grains to drop into the water, it was necessary that they be artificially ripened by a process of curing and drying.
4. Thrashing - This step removed the tight-fitting and inedible hulls that protected the grains.
5. Winnowing - Winnowing used the wind to separate the hulls from the edible seeds.
Ingredients for Chicken Mushroom Wild Rice Soup
1 tablespoon + 1 tablespoon olive oil
1-1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 celery ribs, washed and sliced
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, rinsed and sliced
8 cups chicken stock, homemade preferred (chicken stock recipe)
1 cup long grain and wild rice, uncooked
Freshly ground black pepper
Chives for garnish
Directions for Chicken Mushroom Wild Rice Soup
1. In a Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil until shimmering.
2. Cook: Add chicken and 1 teaspoon salt; cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Sauté: Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the warm pan. Add celery, onions, and mushrooms; sauté 4-6 minutes or until onions are tender. Stir occasionally.
4. Add: Return chicken to Dutch oven. Add chicken stock and rice.
5. Simmer: Bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 60 minutes.
6. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
