Unbeknownst to Americans born in the 20th century, cider is a world-class low-alcohol drink which expresses the character of the land. It also allows for stylistic variation from farmer to farmer. Some cider-makers strive toward refinement and complexity, cultivating for flavor nuances (i.e. tannin and sharpness), while others produce a rough and earthy drink popular in taverns. Think of them as culinary folk artists.
As if regional and personality factors weren’t enough, ponder how individual apple varieties also offer immense diversity when sampling ciders. A counting of over 14,000 apple varieties was, at one-time, surveyed within the U.S., but (get ready for this…) within each individual fruit are seeds, which if left to grow, create entirely new types of apples genetically unique. Just imagine what that means to cider: there might be thousands of single-variety ciders to be had, but when blending those varieties together -oh, my! – the possibilities are exponential.
In short, cider was to America what wine is to France. Farms, communities, meals and food itself revolved around the drink’s presence. (And if you did not just raise an eyebrow, re-read that last sentence.) But with the coming of the 20th century, this country took a decided turn away from locally produced agriculture, to which cider was the epitome. As the cider mills shut down or switched over to sweet cider America lost thousands of cultivated cider-apple varieties. Prohibition is often blamed, but it was actually just a small factor contributing toward cider’s century-long demise. Post-Prohibition regulation, long-distance food transportation, the use of synthetics on the farm and in packaged food, the economy of scale, and cultural homogenization all continue to hamper cider’s come-back.
Starting from a different point in history, we have named our product after Aaron Burr, a founding father from the New York area. During his time a remarkable thing occurred: Not far from New York City, perfect climate and soil conditions (perfect for cider-apples) met-up with the new nation’s philosophic determination for self-sufficiency, and the result was the creation of the best cider and cider-culture the world has known. We want to recreate that drink and we want to help restore that culture. Cider is rightfully the local table wine.

Create the ultimate summer fun on the patio with home-made pizza made with home-grown vegetables. It just couldn′t be better!
Pizza is always a hit with the modern family, and when made with the right ingredients, it can be both healthy and delicious.
Many consumers have become more aware of what they put in their mouths, as reflected amongst other things in the rising interest in ′grow-your-own′ or urban gardening culture. On the surface it's about being self-sufficient and growing your own vegetables at home, in the garden or on a balcony or terrace, while on a deeper level it′s about closeness, authenticity and care for the environment.
The vegetable patch - healthy and fun work for kids
These are positive and healthy values to pass on to the next generation, and if you make use of a specific dish such as pizza made from scratch, and get the youngest involved, they will practically play their way to climate awareness and quality consciousness.
The preparatory work of laying out the vegetable patch and looking after the herbs and vegetables as they grow is itself a big part of the fun. It creates both excitement and sense of responsibility for children to be involved throughout the process, and as soon as you start to harvest the crop, their attitude to eating greens will often change quite radically.
If you don′t have a greenhouse or the time to do it all from scratch, you can buy herbs and vegetables ready to plant out in pots or flower beds, and experience for yourself the joy of seeing how tomatoes, peppers and chili plants respond to care.
A pizzeria in the garden
With fresh vegetables and herbs at your fingertips, it′s a simple matter to make your own pizza with home-made tomato sauce and home-grown herbs.
Pick the fresh tomatoes and prepare an enchanting tomato sauce with fresh oregano and garlic - the smell alone is redolent of sunshine and summer. Let the children help to decorate the pizza with fresh basil and peppers, and you can be sure that they will scrape their plates clean that day!
Caption: Home-made pizza is a fun and healthy project for the whole family
Round off your dinner with lovely refreshing cup of iced tea with fresh mint:
Mix a handful of fresh mint with 500 g sugar, four organic halved lemons and three litres of boiling water in a large pot or bowl. Adjust to taste. Allow to steep for 1-2 hours, then strain out the herbs and lemons. Pour into clean, scalded bottles. Dilute in the proportion 4:1. The tea will keep for up to four days in the refrigerator, and you can vary the taste with one of the many different kinds of mints available, such as strawberry or chocolate.

25 g yeast
200 ml water
1 tbsp. oil
½ tsp. salt
330 g flour
Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water. Mix the remaining ingredients and knead the dough well. Allow to rise for half an hour. Roll out and cover with the topping. Allow to rise again for 20 minutes. Bake at 220 degrees for 25 minutes.
Tip for busy people!
Make the pizza dough the day before with half the amount of yeast, and let it rise overnight. This saves time, and is also good for the digestion.
Make a double portion of tomato sauce and freeze half of it, so that half the job is done next time.

The damaged or affected branches of the tree can affect their healthy growth. Therefore, it is very important to get rid of damaged and broken branches of the tree. The tree trimming and pruning technique can help in restoring the healthy growth of the trees.
There are some trees like fruit trees that need yearly pruning and trimming. It will help the fruit trees to spend more energy on fruits rather than unwanted branches. Some deciduous and evergreen trees need selective pruning and trimming for decorative purposes.
It will provide you an opportunity to control the share of the tree. But it is very important to implement pruning and trimming carefully. If you want to grow a tree in a particular direction, then you must embrace patience and invest in the right tools.
Here, in this blog post, we are going to discuss various tips to grow the tree in a specific direction:
1. Pick the Desired Direction for Tree Growth
First of all, you have to examine the tree in all directions. After that, you have to pick the right direction for the growth of the tree. You can take the help of plastic flagging tape strips to move the growth of branches or limbs of the tree in a certain direction.
This technique will also prevent your tree from extra pruning and trimming. When you are working close to the tree, then you will not be able to see the entire shape of the tree. It may result in cutting the wrong branch of the tree.
2. Get Rid of Small Shoots on Larger Limbs
You should stop the cut down small size shoots and thin branches that are growing over the larger limbs. You should trim out all the small & thin branches that are growing in the unwanted direction.
But, if there is any branch of a tree in an unwanted direction, then you have to use a pruning saw to get rid of it. If you want to remove the large size branches, then you should cut the branches above the bark collar. The bark collar is a thick portion of the branch where the branch meets the trunk.
3. Cut Down Closely Growing Branches
You should trim out the branches or limbs that are crossing or growing very close to each other. You should make drop crotch cuts to get rid of closely growing branches. But you should implement this trimming during the winter or dormant season of the year.
In the drop crotch cuts, one cut will help you remove two or more branches instantly. This type of trimming will improve the growth of the tree in the spring season. This type of trimming method improves the overall health of the tree.
4. Get Rid of Long Branches’ Tips
You should cut down the tips of large branches of the tree that have only one bud. It will help you to encourage the growth of the tree in the desired direction. You should cut down the tips again if new shoots appear again.
You have to repeat this pruning technique until each branch produces four or five strong buds. It is recommended to implement this technique only in the growing season of the year. You can call experienced tree trimmers to remove unwanted branches.
5. Remove Unwanted Branches Throughout the Year
You should remove unwanted shoots of the tree from the side where you do not want tree growth. You have to remove the growing branch and limbs from the unwanted side throughout the year.
If you want to see the changes in the growth direction of the tree, then you have to implement this trimming and pruning technique for one or two years. You have to get rid of all three branches from the unwanted direction. On the other hand, in the desired direction, you have to remove only diseased or affected branches.
6. Trim Only One-Third of Branches
You should limit the trimming technique only up to one-third of the total branches of the tree. If you cut more than one-third of the branches, then it may lead to bad health of the tree. You should also take care of tree health while implementing tree pruning and trimming techniques.
Sometimes extra pruning can lead to bad tree health, and gradually trees will start decaying. You can reduce the large portion of the tree by implementing trimming for over a few years. Instantly removing many branches of the tree can lead to a bad impact.
7. Apply Fertilizer
It is imperative to provide the necessary fertilizers after implementing tree pruning and trimming techniques. You should apply fertilizers to the tree before the dormant season starts. You must purchase the right fertilizer according to the type of tree. The evergreen trees need different nutrients as compared to the fruit trees.
The fertilizers are important to support the growth of the branches in a specific direction. But, applying fertilizers will also encourage the growth of branches in an unwanted direction. Therefore, you should regularly examine your trees in your yard and cut the new growth of branches in an unwanted direction.
We can give any beautiful shape to the trees in our yard. The beautifully shaped tree can significantly increase the market value of your property. The above-mentioned tips will help you to give the desired shape to the trees. You have to embrace patience and invest in the right tools and machines for cutting unwanted branches of the tree.
You can also take the help of experienced and trained professionals to remove unwanted branches of the tree. They can implement the right techniques and they have optimum machinery for cutting tree branches.

If you want to start a vegetable garden at your home, first you need to know that this is one of the easiest ways to save some bucks and this is a stress-free activity but you should require constancy because plants do not take care of themselves, you will have to watering, prune and fertilize them to get delicious and nutritious vegetables.
So, creating a home garden with some vegetables you will consume, gives you the choice and pleasure of enjoying delicious fresh foods, such a sun-warmed tomato; the flavor, taste and texture will exceed the quality of the best grocery store produce because is completely natural, without chemical fertilizers or additives.
Besides growing plans can be fun. It is an excellent way to spend time with your kids or parents or just the good opportunity to have a nice place to get away for a while and spend some time outdoors in the sun.
These easy tips we show you in this article, will help you to have your own growing vegetables garden at home without spending many hours and hours tending it. We just want to explain that you really can enjoy the most beautiful and complete garden at home, full of the fruits of your labor without knowing too much about agriculture and planting.
Then you first need to pick what you want to have in your garden; could be tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, spinach, onions, carrots, paprika, and chili among others. You can also combine your comestible garden with pretty flowers to create a special place for relaxing the view.
Once you find what you want, you can make some space in your garden or create it, for example it can be less that 10×10-foot because you do not need a huge space to start and if you want to use containers to plant you will need less than a yard.
There are no excuses to make it, so let’s get started.
Picking the place
Keep in mind that you will need full sun, plenty of water and good soil so when you go to choose a place you should check that you have these. If you are living in an apartment a deck or small balcony should be enough.
Therefore, the first point is about sunlight, which is important for healthy plant growth. Take into consideration that many vegetables or fruits need at least up to 6 to 8 hours of direct sun to make their natural process. If plants do not catch enough sun light, they will not grow healthy and strong and will more vulnerable to attack from bugs, insects or diseases.
Until you are planting Aloe Vera and cactus, you should regard that most plants are not really tolerant to drought; that is the reason why you will need to give them a drink everyday depending on seasons. Moreover, you do not need to complicate your life, try to have a good source of water next to the garden because the closer your growing plot is to a good source of water, will be easier for you to watering them.
Finally you need a place with good soil or you can also create it because most plants need moist soils but well-drained and riches in organic matter too. If your soil is nutrient poor, make compost or maybe a peat moss to feed it.
We can say that these are the principal elements you may consider before you start to plant because success usually starts with these.
However, you need to think in comfort and if you want to plant vegetables to cook with them, find a place close to the house and kitchen.
Row cropping is the best way to organize your plant if your space is big, because will be easier for using any mechanical tools (tillers or battle weeds), to work better in your garden. But the downside about this method is that you will lose much space to planting; that is why it is not recommended to small plots at home.
If you go for row cropping leave 18 inches between your rows, with this space you will have sufficiently of room to paths and working between them and place taller vegetables at the back of garden.
When we talk about intensive cropping, we mean to use in wide bands as you like. Consider make them of 1 – 4 feet, o with a comfortably reach. This method reduces the area for paths, but it also means that you have less spacing between plants and you will have to weed and work by hand.
This intensive cropping allows you to design a unique vegetable garden, because you can mix vegetables with ornamentals plants.
The square foot method is another way to organize your garden, it consist on divide the plot into small spaces where you can have up to 8 to 18 plants, depending on the plant’s size when it matures.
But the most important of everything is this activity is supposed to be fun and rewarding, so take it easy and if you feel overwhelmed with all on internet just forget it for a minute and get a decent soil and a few seeds and start to plant your favorites vegetables.

Garden waste, including leaves, grass cuttings, and hedge trimmings, are not collected as part of your recycling or rubbish collections. Clients of the scheme are usually supplied with a 240-liter green wheelie bin which is collected and emptied of garden waste every fortnight (or as and when required).
The waste is then sent to a composting facility where it is recycled into organic fertilizer. The self-composting facilities are arranged by MCC for clients. Along with this, the garden waste is easily disposed of by storing it in small containers ranging from 1.5m3 to 2m3 and collected by a mini-skip carrying vehicle. In the case of large gardening activities, larger containers can be provided.

Cash-for-work helps Ha’apai community to recover from Cyclone IanNov 27, 2014Today, it’s a different scene in Ha’apai compared to January after Tropical Cyclone Ian, a Category 5 system - the most powerful ever recorded in Tongan waters - passed directly over the northeast islands of Ha’apai. Many homes repaired, much of the debris removed, fences for livestock rebuilt, continued and regular harvesting of vegetables and crops, tourists have returned and women are weaving again.
Assisting recovery by improving food securityAug 15, 2013“We are farmers. We clear the land and plant again when heavy rain knocks down our crops and vegetables. But it is more difficult now to manage it because rains are unpredictable and heavier.”

King Of The Farmers
Dick de Koning is a cattle farmer who, together with others in the agricultural sector, wants to change the predominant image of the farmer. Many people, mainly from the urbanized western part of the Netherlands, see farmers as being animal-unfriendly and not very clean, although they have no idea of what things are really like in the sector. According to Dick, the agricultural sector in the Netherlands is the cleanest in Europe, and farmers are unjustly made the scapegoats for a variety of environmental problems. He is therefore now in consultation with others on how they can change this prevailing image.
His own farm plays a central in that new, alternative image. Together with photographer Gerard Nel, he wants to openly show the realities on his farm. For the Power to the Models project, he wants to make a presentation with fences and cut outs of farm animals, so that visitors really get the feeling of being in an agricultural environment. In addition, he is producing a video that gives more context about farm life and why people have formed the wrong image of it.

A solution to the Clayton ring problem (continued)
Continuing my endeavours to find “a solution to the Clayton ring problem” (see Results of Winter 2005/2006 and of Winter 2006/07 expeditions) I recently approached the BioCem agrar GmbH laboratory, D-04827 Gerichshain, Germany, to investigate and possibly to carry out biological and chemical analysis on the samples derived from my “Clayton roasting processes” in Eastern Sudan. (see Results of Winter 2006/07, chapters 2.24 – 2.26) I was kindly informed by one of the company´s chemists, Hartmut Thomas, that although the amount of bitter or poisonous substances that may be present in the samples (mainly cucurbitacins which constitute a group of triterpenoid substances which are well-known for their bitterness and toxicity) could be determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, the process was however time-consuming and costly because colocynth seeds contain quite an amount of oil (17 – 19%). Moreover, there was no guarantee that the tests on the roasted samples would produce any useful results as there is no previous seed testing benchmark data to provide a basis for making comparisons between roasted and unroasted seeds and the testing data available in existing publications deals only with the substance analysis of the colocynth´s pulp, leaves and roots.
H. Thomas further explained that his research of the relevant literature raised doubts as to whether the natural seeds contain any amounts of cucurbitacins at all. However, contrary to this scepticism three references found in the scientific literature attest to the fact that the bitter substances either attached to or contained in natural colocynth seeds are removed by mere roasting thus converting the seeds into safely digestible food for desert nomads. Therefore, it would seem that costly tests to verify already known information also attested to by the routine practise of nomads (as conjectured for the distant past in my reports mentioned above) is not required.
The literature research produced inter alia, the following:
1.) Freedman, R.: Famine foods, February 26, 1998, www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/faminefoods/ff_indices/ff_family_cd.html
“Citrullus Colocynthis (L) Schrad.(syn. Colocynthis vulgaris, Schrad) India (Rajasthan): the seeds of this plant are gathered , washed with salt water many times to remove the bitter principles (mostly contained in the attached pulp), or are buried with common salt in small dugouts in the sand, kept covered there for a few weeks, washed, dried, ground into flour and made into Sogra, a rather hard-baked bread… seeds eaten raw, fried and roasted.”
2.) Lloyd, J. U.: Citrullus Colocynthis. In: The Western Druggist (reprint), Chicago 1898, pp. 4,5,8,9,10.
“Colocynth… is distinctly a desert plant… natural requirements being merely a sandy soil, warm climate and little moisture…. Bergius (Bergius, P.J.: Materia Medica. Stockholmiae 1778, vol II)... explicitly states that the pulp is the sole carrier of the bitterness, and that the traces found in the seed may be removed by washing in tepid water… Proof of the innocuousness of the seeds is established by the fact that they afford an important food material to African tribes of the desert.
In this connection we quote from Flueckiger´s report of an interesting account given of the mode of preparation of colocynth seeds as observed by the celebrated German Sahara traveller, Doctor Nachtigal, who visited the poor tribe of the Tibboo Resade in 1870. This is one of the tribes inhabiting the mountainous country of Tibesti in the central part of Sahara. They settle the upper valleys of the rivers where the land is somewhat fertile. Their sole food resources are milk of goats and a few miserable products from vegetable life, chief among which, strangely enough, are seeds of colocynth, called “aber”, which they collect on special nomadic expeditions. The scantiness of their resources compels these people to be very economical in searching out and preparing this strange food. After the bulk of the pulp is removed the seeds are enclosed in strong sacks and tramped upon in order to facilitate the removal of the last traces of the bitter pulp. The seeds remain whole and are cleaned by winnowing. They are then mixed with ashes from camel´s dung, placed upon a smooth stone and rubbed with a rounded stone, which has the effect of crushing the testa. The kernels are then sifted and are thus obtained rather pure. Other Tiboo tribes (Duveyrier) attain the same end by roasting the seeds. Doctor Nachtigal further relates that the seeds are then boiled in water for a short time, the fresh leaves of the ethel bush(?) being added. The last trace of bitterness is afterwards removed by cold water. The seeds are then dried in the sun, powdered, and mixed with dried and powdered dates, and the food thus laboriously obtained, is said to be exceedingly palatable and nutritive. … Too high a tribute cannot be bestowed upon these half-civilized people whose necessities and instincts led to the preparation of such an exceedingly rational nourishing food by extricating it from its poisonous enclosure.”
Furthermore, conveying his horror to the reader when he learned that his cook tried to serve him boiled colocynth seeds as a side dish for dinner in Murzuq (Nachtigal, G.: Afrika und Sudan, vol. 1, Graz 1967(reprint), p. 106, 107) Nachtigal writes: Eine “... Verwechselung, die leicht drastische Folgen hätte haben können. Eine Schüssel mit kleinen ovalen, platten Kernen von gelblich grauer Farbe sollte mein Mahl verherrlichen, und wenn auch Guiseppe seine Verwunderung darüber aussprach, dass dieselben nicht gar hätten werden wollen, so setzte ich mich doch nieder mit dem festen Entschluss, diese erste Nachgiebigkeit des eigensinnigen Mannes durch einen lebhaften Appetit meinerseits zu belohnen. Entsetzt fuhr ich freilich zurück, als ich entdeckte, dass er mich mit Coloquintenkernen zu beglücken die Absicht gehabt hatte, und versuchte auch nicht wieder, seinen Sinn auf eine Vervielfältigung meiner Gemüsegenüsse zu lenken.“ Does Nachtigal´s fright point to the explorer´s firm expectation that, due to swallowing the boiled colocynth seeds he would be severely poisoned?
3.) Dane, F.; Liu, J.; Zhang, C.: Phylogeography of the bitter apple, Citrullus colocythis. Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution (2007) 54, pp. 327-336
“Citrullus colocynthis is a desert plant with a rich history as an important medical plant and as a source of valuable oil. Its small seeds appear in several early Egyptian, Libyan and Near Eastern sites from about 4000 BC… The seeds are edible and when ground provide a rough bread for the desert Bedouins… C. colocynthis is a drought tolerant species, which can survive arid environments by maintaining its water content without any wilting of the leaves or desiccation even under severe stress conditions.”

“Citrulus colocynthis (wild gourd) is a desert plant of the Cucurbitaceae, naturally adapted to arid environments… (It) occurs … in sandy soils and in wadis.”
5.) www.aluka.org - a digital library of scholarly resources from and about Africa. Entry for Citrullus colocynthis (Linn.) Schrad. (family Cucurbitaceae)
“The plant is distributed across the Sahara… It favours drier conditions… The vegetative parts are browsed by donkeys and goats… and are said to be taken by wild game, but the fruit only by donkeys, gazelles and ostriches… A bitter black extract prepared from the rind is sometimes smeared on water-bags by the Arabs to keep camels, etc. away from them… Though the fruit is poisonous, the seeds are sometimes eaten. In the Hoggar area the Tebbou boil them for a whole day with a change of water. The seeds are then dried and eaten. The Tuareg of the same area steam the seeds to drive off a black oil after which the seeds can be eaten or dried for storage. In Sudan the seed is eaten as an emergency food.”

„Die gerösteten oder gekochten (Koloquinten)Samen bilden ein Nahrungsmittel der eingeborenen Bevölkerung von Nordafrika. (Roasted or boiled colocynth seeds provide an aliment for the indigenous population of North Africa.) Ein merkwürdiger Gebrauch von dem aus den Früchten gewonnenen Teer ist bei den Berbern üblich. Die Frucht wird in einem irdenen Gefäß, dessen Boden ein Loch hat, erhitzt, so dass der Teer in ein anderes Gefäß tropfen kann. Er wird zum Einschmieren der Wassersäcke verwendet... Die getrockneten Früchte der Koloquinte sind ein uraltes Abführmittel... Der vorwiegend wirksame Bestandteil ist der glykosidische Bitterstoff Colocynthin.... Nach Korbert enthalten die Samen weniger Colocynthin als das Fruchtfleisch.“

•The history of wine-making in Serbia dates back to prehistory. Viticulture was rich during the Roman period. Wine has been part of Serbian culture since the establishment of statehood, especially during the reign of the Nemanjić dynasty (1166–1371), which encouraged and promoted viticulture.
•However, before the Nemanjic Dynasty Emperor Marcus Aurelius Probus (276-282 AD) employed his soldiers in interim periods between wars to perform tasks which were benefitial to local population: swamp drainage, digging canals, construction of roads and bridges, planting vineyards. In accordance with the decision issued by Emperor Probus to call off a ban imposed by Emperor Domitian on growing grape vine outside the Apennines, we are grateful to Probus nowadays, because he disseminated love for wine and grapes in our regions, which we now enjoy on the slopes of Mt Fruška Gora.
•All Serbian rulers paid great attention to vineyards, thus they outlined today’s wine regions. In the Charter written by Stephen the First-Crowned (1198-1228), diluting wine with water was strictly forbidden. Later on in the Middle Ages, King Milutin (1282-1321) maintained quality of vineyards in Serbia. There is written record that during the rule of Emperor Dušan the Great (1331-1355) wine was transported by a 25Km long “wine pipeline” to cellars in Svrčin and Ribnik. Emperor Dušan also made the first laws which introduced for the first time the notion of protected geographical indication and wine quality. The Law lists a number of wine-making places, such as Imperial Winery and Gornja and Donja Hoča. Despot Đurđe Branković (1427-1456) made great contribution to development of vineyards in Smederevo region, while prince Lazar (1385-1389) gets the credit for creating a vine growing region in Župa.
•After the year 1389, Serbian population fled northwards in order to escape the Turkish rule. Serbian people, clergy, monks and some nobility settled down in Srem region and founded their monasteries, estates and vineyards. They also brought their rich experience in growing grape vine and wine production. Owing to them, vinegrowing started flourishing to the north of the Danube and the Sava rivers – wine regions of Banat and Srem. Their credits are also the change of grape varieties which were grown. For example, instead of formerly grown white grape varieties in Fruška Gora, Serbian population from the south brought the culture of growing red grape varieties, which prevailed soon afterwards.
•The first Serbian wine encyclopaedia originates from 18th century, i.e. 1783. It was written by Zaharije Orfelin and published in Vienna under the title “The Experienced Cellar Keeper”. The book was a compilation of everything that was known at that time about production of Fruška Gora wines, as well as French, Italian and German wines. In the section of “herbal wines”, Orfelin described the production method of the famous bermet from Sremski Karlovci.
•After the liberation from the Turks the country intensified development of viticulture, which became one of the most important industries. In the 19th century, when phylloxera devastated vineyards across Europe, Serbia exported wine to France and Switzerland.
•After World War II, Yugoslavia was among the ten largest wine producers in the world, and at the end of the last century, there were more than 100,000 hectares under vine in Serbia. Today, although the vineyards are on a much smaller area, there were twenty times more wine producers and around 800 wine brands.

How is instant coffee made?
Keeping yourself awake can be a challenge at times, especially if you're not a morning person. Most people lack energy first thing in the morning but know it's important to get moving to make the most of the day. This is where coffee can step in to provide us with the boost we need.
Most people get their caffeine fix in the local Starbucks or McDonalds. This is why we're among the 10 countries that consume the most coffee. With the pandemic, though, making your own coffee at home is all the more beneficial.
Try instant coffee to make coffee from the comforts of home and in half the time. How is instant coffee made, though? Read on and learn how instant coffee is made out of regular whole coffee beans.
1. Bean Delivery
How is instant coffee made? It all starts with the beans. There are two species used for making instant coffee.
Robusta beans are the smaller variant that produces more fruit per season and typically sell at a lower price point. Despite this, though, it's not as popular as the other option. This is because it has a much harsher and bitter taste due to its higher caffeine levels.
Arabica coffee beans are widely considered the higher quality coffee. They produce a much smoother taste and with hints of sweetness and fruits.
Next up is harvesting, in which there are also two options. The best method to ensure quality is by hand-picking the coffee beans. This is a slow process, but it keeps unripe beans on the plant ready for the next harvest.
Strip harvesting uses machines to shake the plants until the fruits fall off. The cherries are then sorted per batch to get the ripe fruits for delivery. This method is faster but can cause lots of cherries to go to waste.
The beans then go through a wash to remove any debris sticking to them. These cherries are then packed into boxes and weighed. They're then shipped off to proceed with the process.
Once the beans are harvested, the first thing to do in the process of making instant coffee is to roast them. Roasting gives the beans their flavor and keeps them fresh for longer. The intensity of the flavor will depend on how long they roast the beans.
Some companies will use sound to determine how well-roasted their beans are. This is because beans will release a cracking sound as they stay in the oven. When the first crack goes off, it's a sign that the beans have a light roast.
Leaving them in the heat longer will result in a medium roast. If they hear a second crack, it's the last chance they have to remove the beans and keep them at a medium roast.
If they leave the beans in for some more time after the second crack, the beans will come out as dark roasts. These will have less caffeine but have a stronger flavor because of the oils that the beans release while they're roasting.
Once the beans reach their desired roast, it's time to grind them. This process is the simplest but takes the longest because it's vital to ensure there are no chunks of coffee beans before the next step.
Since they grind tons of coffee beans per batch, a lot of time is needed to ensure all beans are reduced into powder and are ready for the next step.
The coffee grounds are then brewed in a giant vat. Think of it as a giant French press. The process takes longer than most to ensure that the grinds incorporate themselves into the water.
The vat is only stirred once in a while as the boiling water stirs the coffee brew around. Then liquid brew is extracted out of the vat to proceed to the next step.
What's great is that most companies recycle the coffee grounds they use in the brewing process. They're useful fuel sources for burning similarly to how coal is.
The next step in the process is evaporation. This is where the water is reduced in the coffee to strengthen the flavor of the brew. The coffee is passed through heated pipes and the water is siphon off with each pass.
When only 50% of the water remains, the brew is much like a thick syrup. Keeping it heated through the process is essential to keep it from becoming too sticky. Doing this is also intensifies the flavor even further.
6. Cooling Process
Once it reaches the consistency of honey, the brew is then transported through heat exchangers. This is to help prepare the brew for the cooling process. If the brew is cooled too soon, it can cause the water inside to crystalize.
Introducing cold temperatures little by little prevents the brew from separating into its different components. This also locks in the flavor into the brew before the next step of the process.
The frozen syrup is then broken up into tiny granules and weighed into separate batches. Doing this ensures that the next step won't have trouble processing too many granules at once.
Even after freezing the syrupy brew, the remaining water still needs to be removed. You can't melt the frozen granules because doing so only reintegrates the water into the brew. So, it will need to go through another freezing process or coffee won't last as long or taste as great as it could.
For this final and most important drying process there are two methods to use.
Sublimation is used to turn solids(the remaining liquid in the coffee) into gas for this process. Doing this removes the vapor from the coffee without diluting the flavor. This process is what people know as freeze-drying.
The frozen granules are kept under tons of pressure before they extract the water. It's then transferred into a vacuum chamber where it gets heated for the last time. The vacuum sucks out the water from the mix before it can melt the granules.
Doing this also triggers the granules to solidify. The resulting product is the granules we see when we open a jar of instant coffee. This is the process that we use because it preserves the flavor and aromas of the coffee the best.
The spray drying process starts the same way as any instant coffee. It goes through the same roasting, grinding, and brewing process. The only difference is that instead of Freeze Drying they don't freeze it.
Instead, companies spray it into a drying chamber together with hot air. The hot air is around 160 C and travels around the chamber at around 400 mph. This high-velocity air atomizes the coffee as it's sprayed into the chamber.
Any water in the coffee gets evaporated and the remaining coffee solutions sucked out of the chamber before it gets too toasted. The resulting coffee is a powdered coffee that is then harvested for packaging.
This method is less expensive to complete than Freeze Drying however it results in a slightly burnt flavor and most of the aromas are not present after they heat it up.
From here, it's ready to be packaged and delivered to your door step.
8. Enjoy the Convenience, Flavor and Aromas
Instant coffee has come a long way. Now, with these new state-of-the art methods to make it while not losing the flavor or aroma, it is gaining a lot more favor world wide as a go to coffee.
The flavor and aroma that was once lost is not kept in quality instant coffees and it is also important to help boost your brain awake. It's a big part of the reason we feel good when we have a cup of coffee in the morning. Smelling a familiar aroma will give our brains a boost even before we ingest any caffeine in the morning.
With so many convenient uses and ways to make a drink with instant coffee it's no wonder the world is starting to wake up to it.
So, that's how Instant Coffee made.

Kim Brayman wonders if she will profit this year from the 600 cows on her family’s dairy farm in Skaneateles.
“Milk prices are constantly changing,” says Brayman. “It is completely out of our control. If prices drop, there is nothing we can do to try and make more money.”
Brayman’s dairy farm is one of 665 farms in Onondaga County, according to the most recent United States Department Of Agriculture Census in 2007. And it is among the nation’s farms that benefit from federal government’s help subsidizing their income and insuring their losses. Congress is now debating the renewal of the farm bill, which is passed every five years.
President Barack Obama’s budget proposal for 2013 includes $32 billion in cuts over the next 10 years to the new farm bill. As the government looks for ways to reduce the deficit, both Democrats and Republicans agree that in the coming years, farmers will receive less support from the federal government. That’s partly because the agriculture industry has produced record profits over the last few years. Let’s take a look at the numbers from 2010:
- The agriculture industry made $92 billion — up $18 billion from 2009.
- There was $115.8 billion in exports, the most in U.S. history.
- The agricultural sector added $352 billion to the U.S. economy.
In the face of so much success and under pressure to reduce government spending, said Andrew Novakovic a professor of agricultural economics at Cornell University, Congress is likely to cut two payments to farmers: direct payments and counter-cyclical payments. Direct payments total about $5 billion every year and are given to farmers regardless of crop yields or market prices. Counter-cyclical payments are given to farmers each season after a particularly bad harvest.
The recent agriculture profits indicate, “corn prices absolutely skyrocketing,” said Novakovic. “When corn does well, typically all of the other crops do well to.”
But the picture is starkly different for dairy and livestock farmers. Higher crop prices can mean income for those farmers — but the crop prices are an expense for the livestock and dairy farmers who use those crops as feed. At the same time, dairy farmers are paying more for gas, fertilizer, labor and equipment, said Mike Marshfield a representative on the New York State Farm Bureau.
“Dairy farmers expenses have increased dramatically over the last ten years,” said Marshfield. That means dairy and livestock farmers still need more help in the federal farm bill. And they are a key part of the economy in Onondaga County.
Livestock sales accounted for 73 percent — or $100.8 million — of the $137 million total Onondaga County farm sales produced in 2007. Dairy was the leading agricultural product at 64 percent.
Dairy farmers rely on the farm bill’s insurance programs to deal with inconsistent milk prices using the Milk Income Loss Contract. Between 1995-2010 dairy farms in Onondaga County received over $7 million from the Milk Income Loss Contract program.
Crop farmers will rely on the crop insurance program. From 1995-2010 in Onondaga County, crop farmers recieved $3.2 million from the federal crop insurance program.
These insurance programs will “almost definitely” remain in the new farm bill, predicts Marshfield of the state Farm Bureau.
The farm bill’s payments are also meant to help farmers survive the ups and downs of their industry.
“You can’t compare agriculture to any other industry,” says Nicole Wood, legislative director at the National Grange, a lobbying group for farmers. “There are so many things that can change year to year. It’s very fragile.”
For renewing the farm bill, Congress has a Sept. 30 deadline. Cornell agriculture economist Novakovic predicts that bill could be delayed into 2013 as lawmakers are caught up in election-year chaos.
If Congress fails to renew the farm bill, Novakovic said, “That would be an astonishingly ugly situation.”
For her part, Skaneateles dairy farmer Kim Brayman works the farm that’s been in her family for 90 years. In 2009, the Brayman family farm received over $76,000 from the government program that makes up dairy farmers’ losses after milk prices drop. The farm still suffered a loss, Brayman said. But, she added, without the payment the losses would been even greater.
“I hate to admit it,” said Brayman. “But in 2009 without the government help from milk insurance our losses would have been doubled.”

Some deer hunters who put in Winter food plots only consider turnips as part of a mixture of growing cold-weather greens that deer like to eat. Know what? They are also very good on the dinner table. Most rural Southerners were weaned on turnip greens and corn bread, and these dishes are as tasty now as they were when they were babes in arms. Of the common green-leafy crops, turnips are the least harsh tasting, compared to collards and kale. They are an excellent and tasty leafy vegetable that will be enjoyed not only by your family, but also by your dogs. Dogs need their greens just like we do and for the same reasons.
Here is how to cook a bunch of turnips. Start with picking out good plants at the Farmers’ Market. Turnips are sold by the bunch and some twenty or so will usually be tied together with a string or rubber band. Select a bunch were the leaves are bright, green and still alive. Careful turnip sellers will have the roots of the plants in water, or be constantly spraying the leaves. It is OK if a few are starting to turn yellow on the edges, but live plants are what you are looking for. These should have their roots attached. The roots will vary in size from about 3-inches across to pencil-eraser size, depending on how closely the turnips were planted. The last batch that I purchased at the Farmers’ Market was $3.00. I was glad to have them, as I cannot grow them at that price.
Once home, put the roots in a washtub with some water and let the plants sit in the cool until you are ready to start cleaning them. Turnip cleaning and cooking is best done over about a 3-hour period. The more hands the faster the work goes, and kids can help wash the grit from the plants. Washing is a significant part of the process as turnips will likely have been dusted with insecticide multiple times during the growing season and will also have more or less sand on their roots and leaves. My mother use to wash the leaves three times in fresh water before she thought them fit for the pot. The water would be changed between each washing.
When the turnips are in a bunch, the roots are all sticking out in one direction. Usually the first thing that I do is to take each plant and cut off the roots, which I trim and place in another container of water. I later wash these separately and cut the larger roots into smaller pieces, often 1-inch or less in size. These are then put into a pot and boiled. Traditionally, that is as far as this process went.
Some fat meat, salt and a little black pepper was added to the roots and they were cooked separately from the greens. More for color than taste, some people reserved a few roots and cut them into about half-inch cubes and added them to the greens. This year I devised a slightly different dish using the roots and stems which is given below:
Turnip Roots and Stems with Deer Meat and Red Beans
3 lbs. turnip roots washed and cut into 1-inch and smaller pieces
1 lb. turnip stems stripped of leaves and cut into 2-inch lengths
1/2 cup dried dark red kidney beans
3 pounds roast from doe or a small buck
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Clean and dice turnips and put in pressure cooker. Cut small deer roast into 1-inch and smaller cubes, salt and pepper and add to pot along with dried beans. Cover with water. Pressure cook approximately 20 minutes. Put pressure cooker in water for a quick cool-down, remove lid when safety button is down. Taste and adjust seasonings. The turnip roots will turn dark and the beans will be done, but perhaps a little firm, like in a bean salad. Serve in bowl with pot liquor on top of vegetables and accompany with corn bread, real butter and iced tea. This makes a one-pot meal that freezes well, should you want to save some for later.
I like this dish because it uses a portion of the stems which are most often thrown away and captures the nutrients stored in the biggest part of the plant.
Stemming, that is cutting or pulling the green leaves from the coarser stems and tearing them into 1-2 inch pieces, can often be done by kids who enjoy the destructive aspects of tearing something up in addition to helping their parent cook. The more they can participate in the process, the more likely they are to eat the product. The torn leaves are placed into a large bowl or pot and when the process is completed the leaves are put into the sink where sufficient water may be added to float them. Mix with the hands until the greens are well washed and transfer the drained leaves into another container. Empty wash water and wash the leaves a second time. If grit and dirt still appears in the bottom of the sink, repeat the process until no sediment is visable on the bottom of the sink.
Turnip Greens with Wild Hog Tenderloin
Very often in the South turnips are cooked with a slab of diced, salted and smoked pork fatback or streak-of-lean. This turns out to be a bit too greasy and salty for my taste, so I will often use some other pieces of leaner pork, such as from the shoulder of a wild hog or, in this case, Wild Hog Tenderloin. The tenderloin is tender, tasty, cooks fast and does not have much associated fat when it is from a wild animal. To take the place of the animal fat I added a tablespoon of margarine.
1 stuffed plastic grocery bag full of washed torn turnip leaves (about 1 1/2-pounds)
1 1/2 pounds of Wild Hog Tenderloin
1 tablespoon margarine
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
In a large pot add about 1-inch of water and bring to a boil. Add greens and while stirring allowing the greens to reduce in bulk so that you can get them all into the pot. Add additional water as the volume of greens is reduced to about one-half, but not enough to cover. When the greens have been reduced to their lowest volume add sufficient water to cover. Add cut meat and margarine and stir to keep meat from sticking to the pan. Boil until meat is fork tender. Partly drain and serve with slotted spoon. Again, corn bread, butter and iced tea are traditional accompaniments.
To see a video about these dishes go to: http://youtu.be/m3nDSJBv8dU. There are many more wild game recipes in my books “Backyard Deer Hunting: Converting deer to dinner for pennies per pound,” “Crossbow Hunting” and “X-Treme Muzzleloading” which are available as softcover and E-books. Take a look at the books at http://www.hoveysmith.com. These prize-winning books make excellent Christmas gifts for the hunter.

October has come, and summer seems to be long gone. It has been snowing a fair deal already, as if retribution for last year’s mild winter. It snowed last weekend. It also snowed last Friday, causing all sorts of havoc on roads.
Rewind back a couple weeks ago. The tomatoes were still happily growing late in the season, abundant and green, when my sister hurried outside to harvest them amidst the frost warnings. Now, they are ALL getting ripe. A large abundance of fresh, flavorful heirloom tomatoes straight from our backyard. In boxes on the floor, all over the kitchen table, filling up the fridge…
There doesn’t seem a better way to celebrate this bountiful harvest than adorning a homemade quick puff pastry tart with artichoke filling. To top it off, I added a variety of tomatoes including yellow pear and zebra (with green and red stripes), as well as other mystery types. One is a pinkish colour, while another a more conventional tomato red. Just use what is on hand for a delicious treat – layers of crisp flaky pastry, creamy and tangy artichoke, and succulent tomatoes.
Disclaimer: I have no gardening talent. Luckily my sister does.

Parsley and mint are also good companion herbs for tomatoes and deter a number of pests. Basil is also a favorable plant to grow near tomatoes and purportedly increases not only the vigor of the tomatoes, but their flavor as well.
Flowers such as marigolds keep nematodes from attacking tomato plants and their sharp odor confuses other insects. Nasturtiums help to deter whiteflies as well as aphids.

On Tuesday 27th October 2015 our class of Conservation Science held a conference in which we presented short introductions to our hot topics in conservation. Freya Tetley’s piece focused on whether a ban of neonicotinoids would be worth the economic loss to protect our ecosystems. With the increasing wealth of information proving that pollinator numbers are decreasing, I think it is more important than ever to look into factors that could be the cause of such population collapses.
Benefit of neonicotinoids
Widespread application of neonicotinoids suggests the insecticide must have significant benefits. The application of neonicotinoids reduces insect damage to crops, increasing yields. In the United States crop yields, namely corn, have quadrupled since neonicotinoids were first applied in 1866 (fig 1). In consequence, global food prices have dropped. The chain of positive feedback proves neonicotinoids do have their economic worth, but what about their effect on ecosystems?
Cost of neonicotinoids
Although neonicotinoid application has its benefits, it comes with a high conservation cost, which I find more important to investigate. The recent European Academics Scientific Advisory Council (EASAC) report has shown that widespread prophylactic use of neonicotinoids has severe negative effects on non-target species. There has been a 50% decline in bee populations[i] attributed to neonicotinoids, and the pesticide also has detrimental effects on other pollinators such as birds[ii]. Bees and birds are vital for plant reproduction and ultimately putting fresh fruit and vegetable our plates. Arthropods are likewise affected negatively by neonicotinoids, which may disrupt nutrient cycling and reduce soil fertility[iii] (fig 2)!
Ban on neonicotinoids?
Seeing the significant negative impacts of neonicotinoids, I wonder why the chemical has not been banned entirely? A temporary restriction of neonicotinoids was already in place in January 2013[iv], but the limited scope and length of the ban resulted in no significant improvements for ecosystems. In France various pesticides have been banned since 2004 and crop yields have not suffered. Additionally, half the European Union countries were in support of the 2013 restriction, so why not commit to a complete ban? I think the government needs to acknowledge that the loss of ecosystem services associated with pollinator and arthropod declines from pesticide application, will be more financially significant than a ban of the pesticide itself. There are alternative methods to neonicotinoid use[v] such as integrated pest management, biological control and creating hybridized species more resistant to disease. We should be focusing on applying alternatives rather than the pesticide itself.

From Rosie Stapel, Portrait of a Garden is a slow-moving Dutch documentary about two gardeners doing expert work as they move through the seasons. We see them in the greenhouse picking grapes and tending to the trees outside, their passion for what they do evident in their faces and their extensive knowledge of cultivation. Their dedication to their work is the best angle of Portrait of a Garden, but painstaking detail is its downfall. (GEP: 3/5)
Review by Social Media Manager Georgiana E. Presecky
Daan van der Have and Jan Freriks work together on a 500-year-old Dutch estate, tending to its plants and growing its fruits and vegetables. They have spent 20 years returning these orchards to their former glory, growing everything from jalapeño peppers to sour cherries. Apples, lemons, fennel, spinach, asparagus, lettuce – you name it, they grow it, and with fierce dedication and special appreciation for each.
They discuss the place of honor gardeners used to hold, and how this kind of work is a dying art form that requires profound skill and understanding in order to do it right. Gardeners used to be “kind of celebrities,” says Freriks, whose knowledge of the history of agriculture and gardening is astounding. “They’re still mentioned in the literature. That’s all fading away now. I think it’s a shame.”
Van der Have serves as a foil to his older counterpart, telling him not to lose hope – there’s a growing interest in gardening, he says, that should not be underestimated. Interactions like this between the two are the highlight of Portrait of a Garden because they tell a very human story – one far more interesting than the foliage. The two men and their estate staff are a delight to watch at work and they deserve to be profiled on this scale.
“The trick is to keep it beautiful,” Freriks says, gesturing around one part of the garden. Stapel accomplishes this – the film is aesthetically beautiful as we move through the seasons and watch the garden flourish before our eyes. She also makes a point to inform us what the gardeners are working on with subtle text on the screen – this helps the viewer separate the green from the rest of the green when it all starts to blend together.
Shoveling dirt, pruning branches, clipping vines – you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Portrait of a Garden is extremely straightforward in a way that makes it dull. It’s unfortunate, because the film is an otherwise-interesting love letter to a trade that brings beauty and new life to a world that really needs it.
If any metaphor can be taken away from such a forthright and factual narrative, it’s that anything worth doing takes a lot more work than we realize. We stroll through a garden or eat a salad and don’t realize the painstaking detail with which these daily luxuries were created. Pears and tomatoes don’t just appear in the produce section. Other themes include the cycle of the seasons, the idea of making something out of nothing, the importance of trades to which we don’t give nearly enough credence. Portrait of a Garden and its subjects will teach you this. (And a whole lot more than you ever thought you needed to know about cultivating plums.)

Q: Does Portrait of a Garden pass the Bechdel-Wallace test?
Not really. Women are members of the garden staff but aren’t really seen interacting in any meaningful way outside of working alongside each other while tending to the plants.

The escalating concern for the environment and for human health and wellbeing has led commercial farmers as well as gardeners to take into consideration safer methods for combating the issues of bugs, diseases and weeds. Although quite a few of the most noxious pesticides have been eliminated from common application, there’s been a search for additional approaches of containing insects than by just spraying chemical substances on vegetation and gardens. Quite a few years ago a program was established to consider advantageous alternative techniques to cope with insects. This method is termed Integrated Pest Management . Though the usage of chemical pesticides hasn’t been abandoned it has been consigned to the lesser of various other options.
Integrated Pest Management consists of a number of basic steps to follow and also assess before taking steps to control the pest. These are generally the following:
Have you experienced this problem previously? What time of year did this occur? How long did this last? What effect did this have to the yield and / or visual worth of the particular harvest? Have many people experienced the identical difficulty, and if so how did they deal with it? What region has become impacted – has it been a isolated or common issue? And ultimately, how will you approach and also solve the issue?
Be certain to set a Threshold for Action
Do you feel that the only good bug is usually a dead bug? In the event that there happen to be few bugs present doing little damage over a period of only a week or even two it might not really always be important to try and dispose of them. Almost all crops will put up with some damage without affecting the yield. When it comes to the visual worth of the plant, will each and every leaf and petal need to be perfect? At just what point would you have to do something? The answer to those questions can vary from individual to individual.
The sooner a person detects the presence of insects, diseases as well as weeds the better prospect there’s of curbing them. Depend on past history of what goes on in your backyard specifically times of the year and think about the impact of weather patterns – wet as opposed to dry, cold as opposed to hot as well as the earliness and / or lateness of the time of year. By way of example from experience I understand that usually at the end of May or early June the leaves of my personal perennial Columbine plants will most likely be infected by Columbine sawfly larvae. As a result, at that time of the season I begin to watch for them, so I am able to pick them off the leaves. The severity of their attack, nonetheless, will depend on the climate. Some years they reappear at the end of summer for a second assault and some years they don’t.
Accurate Recognition of the Issue
Precisely what will you do to resolve the issue is determined by accurate identification of the insect. When that has occurred you’ll have to know its biology and life cycle so that you can identify the ideal period to act for management. One season I sprayed the “caterpillars” consuming the leaves on a Mountain Ash tree with a mixture formulated with the biological Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.), not really comprehending that the worms were actually sawfly larvae, which unfortunately aren’t taken care of by that particular insecticide.
You’ll find several choices which may be obtained when you have diagnosed the problem pest and need to take action to control it. After all this you might need to select which solutions can have the least and most impact on the environment, your family and your pets. This is how Integrated Pest Management will be meticulously your option.
Biological Management – Identify and apply natural beneficial organisms that are the enemies for this bug. Make sure that the environmental situation is helpful for these organisms in order that they may flourish.
Cultural Management – By keeping the plants in the best of health they will be far more resistant to disease and insects. A number of cultivars of plants tend to be naturally a lot more resistant to insects and disease than others. Mulching will manage weed growth. Rotation of crops will help prevent the same disease problem the following year.
Exclusion – Physical elimination of the bug or plant materials which was already affected helps lower the problem. Covering fruit plants using screens or mesh will keep away bird bugs. Screening your home windows as well as caulking the cracks all around doors and windows should help keep out household bugs.
Chemical Management – In cases where other methods have not been deemed effective, using chemical pesticides could possibly be required. Make sure that you examine the label to discover that the target plant is actually stated on there. Attempt a reduced toxicity solution and be sure to follow the blending directions. Labels are legal documents. Spray or apply the particular pesticide only on the affected plant materials. Attempt to prevent human exposure to the absolute minimum.
The final phase within Integrated Pest Management would be to be aware of just what worked and what didn’t. It’ll help to take careful notes through the process. Note the time of year the issue arose, what kind of environmental circumstances prevailed. Just what part of the plant was being damaged? Where in the yard or in the garden did the problem occur? And then, what precisely did you do to deal with the problem and was it successful? Remember that if a similar problem happens next season you might have to use different strategies. Integrated Pest Management is centered on being flexible.

Micro-lot coffees are special. Just as wines differ by region and variety, Micro-lot coffees are derived from specific bean varietals, carefully picked at one farm, and processed in separate lots. That coffee is then carefully processed and roasted to bring out the flavors inherent in the bean because of where it is grown and the weather of the growing season. This January, Caffe Ladro offers three Micro-lot coffees for customers to enjoy.
Granitos de Altura del Ortiz is a Costa Rican coffee that comes from the El Ortiz farm in the Tarrazu region. El Ortiz is owned by Omar Calderon whose success in coffee brings his beans consistently high scores. In 2011, he won the Costa Rica Cup of Excellence. After receiving the COE, Calderon used the monetary prize to build a micro-mill (Granitos de Altura Beneficio), to process coffee and thus have full control the farm’s product. With his four daughters, Calderon grows and mills coffees that specialty coffee companies seek for their quality. Joana Colderon, capably manages the mill for the family.
We offer the Granitos de Altura del Ortiz Micro-lot in a light roast. The bean varietal is a Catuai that is fully washed and dried on patios. This coffee has notes of Granny Smith apple and vanilla.
Micro-lot Malacara B Yellow Bourbon & Micro-lot Malacara B Orange Bourbon
Malacara B is a 4th generation coffee farm in El Salvador. It is one of three farms run by a family corporation–Chantuc. Malacara B is owned and operated by father and son team, Rodrigo and Roberto Dumont. Since 1888, members of the Alvarez family have planted and harvested coffee in the Santa Ana Volcano area. 2011 marked a successful year for Malacara B as the farm won both the Presidential Award and the Cup of Excellence in El Salvador. This family has many varietals of coffee and we are proud to offer a Micro-lot of Yellow Bourbon and a Micro-lot of Orange Bourbon to our customers. These coffee varietals grow in fields next to one another and though they experience the same precipitation and temperature, offer surprisingly different palate experiences. We hope you will compare them. We know you will enjoy them!
Malacara B grows diverse crops such as avocado, prunes, raspberries and peaches, which they sell at local markets and which provide employment to workers throughout the year. On Malacara B we find a clinic, a school and a soccer field for employees and their families to use and enjoy. The farm employs 20 people annually and as many as 100 during peak harvest times.

I chose Florida State University because of the conducive environment for learning and networking opportunity for career advancement.
Motivation to pursue a graduate degree
My strong desire to develop the capacity for global impact in my field of study.
Importance and impact of research
Are you aware of starch in dry beans? Yes, starch is the major carbohydrate component in dry bean. Dry bean starch is resistant to digestion and that is one of the reasons dry bean stay longer in your stomach. Dry bean consumption is globally on the increase based on three factors: low glycemic index, low calories, and high nutritional benefits. The health benefit of a dry bean is associated with the presence of resistant starch, fiber, proteins, phenols, vitamins, and minerals. Dry beans contain about 60-70% total carbohydrates on a dry wet basis, the majority of carbohydrate is starch (22-45) percent. Food products made from dry bean have their physicochemical properties attributed to their starch components. Knowing this to be true, dry bean starch can be an alternative source of starch. My work is to isolate starch from different types of dry bean, study their functional and physicochemical properties, how they can possibly be used in our food products.
To become faculty at a research institution and make a positive contribution in my field of study and ultimately develop the capacity of others for global impact.
Advice for anyone considering graduate school
Know yourself, know your prospective mentor, and know what you want. Fail, fail, fail, and fail again until you succeed. The more you master failure, the closer you are to success. Failure is part of success.
Accomplishments during graduate career
I developed an improved method of dry bean starch isolation. Isolated starch from 20 different types of dry bean and still counting. I have also published and presented my research at scientific conferences. This provides a sense of fulfillment in contributing to the knowledge already existing in the area of carbohydrate research.

Check out this Strain Hunters documentary put out earlier this year about their trip to Trinidad & St. Vincent. Even though Trinidad is cracking down on marijuana, Strain Hunters managed to find the best herb that Trinidad has to offer as they explore the island. Most of the herb is hidden in small guerrilla-style grow fields in Trinidad due to the crackdown, but Strain Hunters manage to find growers that still produce quality marijuana.
They found different parts of Trinidad filled with ganja fields where the group lived the “pura vida” which is basically staying in a nice villa and smoking joints of great herb. The group then went to St. Vincent to meet some local growers, including one who had just been raided by the local cops. St. Vincent is the main supplier for the Caribbean and there is a whole network of growers and transporters that move the marijuana between the different islands.

Let’s help Mother Nature with some water.
Watering the correct way can help keep your lawn green in the dog days of summer w/o wasting your water. Don’t run a sprinkler all night; it encourages lawn disease and does waste water. Afternoon watering loses as much as 60% of the water to evaporation and wind. Early AM watering is the best. Try at least 1/2 inch twice a week or 1 inch of water a week; this should be enough water to get the moisture down to the root zone. If you use a hose and sprinkler, put out several tomato paste cans throughout the sprinkler’s watering zone and measure the amount of water collected in 30 minutes and 60 minutes. When the water depth reaches the desired level, you now know how much time to water with your sprinkler from now on. Same measurement tools for a complete lawn irrigation system.
Check the soil moisture by sticking a screwdriver in the ground after watering. If it goes into the soil 6 inches easily, you have done your job correctly.
Remember, a great looking yard adds value to your home and gives it that Best First Impression, so as to attract a buyer’s interest.

Hemp is the first plant known to be cultivated. In China, a fabric is woven from hemp fibre for cloth in 8000 BC. In 1000 BC Hemp is cultivated in India and in 70 BC it is cultivated in England. Hemp cultivation spreads throughout Europe for paper, sails, ropes, shoes and fishnets and in 1215 the Magna Carta is printed on hemp paper.
Renaissance artists use hemp canvas for their masterpieces (the word ‘canvas’ comes from ‘cannabis’). The Guttenberg Bible is printed on hemp paper in 1456 and in 1492 Columbus outfits his ships with hemp sails and ropes for the journey across the Atlantic to discover America.
Throughout history, hemp has proven to be a vital resource, especially for new immigrants who colonized North America. It was so essential, in fact, that American colonists were required to grow hemp by law. Hemp became legal tender – used to pay taxes and encourage farmers to grow more to ensure America’s independence. Feilds of Hemp were termed ‘Victory Gardens’ during WWII and a ‘Hemp for Victory’ campaign celebrated the vital input of hemp for the military during the war.
Unfortunately, long-term prohibition has caused most people to forget the many industrial uses of hemp and continue to misidentify it with its cannabis cousin, marijuana.
Since 1992 hemp has been undergoing a revival. In Europe, Canada and most recently the US, legislation has been passed allowing for commercial cultivation of low-THC hemp.
Canadian hemp farmers follow a highly regimented licensing and quality assurance process that is closely monitored by Health Canada to ensure integrity.
The hemp plant is incredibly versatile and has been used throughout the ages for its therapeutic properties in the treatment of inflammation, digestive disorders and rheumatism, just to name a few.
Hemp is steadily gaining popularity as a premium health supplement. It is completely natural. Grown readily with no need for pesticides or herbicides and benefits the soil as well.
Hemp has so many benefits for our animal companions. See why hemp for more information.

Make Photo Gifts For Sweet Sisters On Rakhi
China has two winners of the annual First Prize of the State Natural Science Award for 2017, a testimony to the nation"s growing research capabilities in fundamental science, experts said on Monday.
It is the first time in 12 years that China has two winners within a single year of the nation"s highest honor for major scientific breakthroughs in fundamental research. The last time was in 2006, according to data from the Office of State Science and Technology Awards.
This year"s winners are chemist Tang Benzhong and bioengineer Li Jiayang.
Tang discovered aggregation-induced emission－a chemical phenomenon in which a special type of luminous agent becomes brighter the more it groups together. The discovery revolutionized luminescent biomarkers for material science, medicine, cancer diagnosis, electronics and other fields.
Li discovered the molecular mechanism that decides the quality and yield of rice, which allowed scientists to create an ideal rice crop that is nutritious and tasty and produces a high yield.
"The first-prize winners not only must have groundbreaking scientific achievements, but also must have strong and lasting global impact," said Chen Zhiming, the deputy director of the office.
The standard for the first prize is so rigorous that typically there is only one winner per year, said Chen. Since 1991, there have been 12 occasions on which there was no first-prize winner, including a three-year drought from 2010 to 2012, according to the office"s data.
"But this year"s first-prize winners lived up to their name," said Chen. "These achievements are the result of China"s growing effort and devotion to fundamental research."
After the discovery of aggregation-induced emission in 2001, scientists from more than 1,100 institutes in 60 countries have been studying the strange effect and producing new material, medicine and diagnostic tools, said Tang.
Li"s discovery of the secrets behind high-quality, high-yield rice has propelled China to become one of the world leaders in agricultural biology research, with close collaborations with Russia, Japan and Southeast Asian countries, Li said.
"The new discovery might be the beginning of a new agricultural revolution," said Li. "Farmers can reliably produce high-quality and high-yielding rice to protect the nation"s food security as its population continues to grow."
Phil Coates, a chemical engineer from the United Kingdom and the winner of the 2017 International Science and Technology Cooperation Award－China"s highest honor for foreign scientists, said that in the past decade, China has put tremendous effort into fundamental research, as well as the commercialization of science findings to fuel the economy.custom printed wristbands children's id wristbands uk plastic wristbands uk custom silicone wristbands uk 24 hour wristbands

Pistachio nuts were the most important export item which brings the country $1 billion-$1.2 billion in hard currency revenues a year, Mojtaba Khosrotaj said on Saturday.
Exports of the split-shelled nibble, however, dropped 22% in the first six months of the current Persian year, failing to match the figures during the same period a year ago when most of the produce was exported, Press TV reported.
“Given that exports of other dried fruit items have grown, it is anticipated that the deficit will be offset by the end of the year,” Khosrotaj said.
Head of the Iran-China Chamber of Commerce Asadollah Asgaroladi said 250,000 tonnes of pistachio nuts are produced a year, of which 150,000-160,000 tonnes are exported.
Iran is the world’s biggest pistachio exporter, a position it has maintained thanks to the premium quality of its crop in the face of stiff rivalry from the US.
Asgaroladi put dried fruit exports at 2 million tonnes a year, citing dates another important export crop. He said Iran produces 2 million tonnes of the crop a year, of which 200,000 tonnes is exported.
Overall, Iran produces 117 million tonnes of agricultural products a year, with horticultural crops accounting for 30 million tonnes of the figure.
Because of its unique ecology and rich soil, Iran is one of the largest fruit producers in the Middle East and North Africa, where the diversity of climatic zones makes it possible to cultivate an assorted group of crops.
The Iranian plateau is believed to be the homeland to a number of fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants such as Persian walnuts, pomegranates, peaches, spinach and tulips.
According to Iranian officials, as many as 240 million people across the region savor Iran’s horticultural products, primarily pomegranates, pistachios, saffron, figs, raisins and dates.
The country is the world’s seventh largest producer of citrus fruits, including a variety of oranges, tangerines, limes and lemons.
Agricultural exports exceed $6 billion a year, where horticultural products account for half of the earnings, with livestock and poultry coming next with a share of about 25% and crops with the other 25%.
Agriculture accounts for 13% of Iran’s GDP and over 20% of its employment. The sector has traditionally been the key source of food and livelihood security over millennia despite losing much of its significance since the country struck oil.

Dubai, UAE, 8/12/2023 – Neutura, a new carbon removal company based in Southeast Asia, announces angel funding for two new biochar projects. This initiative is a significant leap forward in combating climate change by converting agricultural waste into valuable resources.
Neutura is embarking on a mission to redefine the narrative around carbon removal projects often seen as capital-intensive endeavors, and is set to launch two innovative projects in 2024. These projects, targeting Southeast Asia and Southern Europe, are not just about reducing emissions but are a holistic approach towards responsible waste management.
The core of these projects lies in utilizing vegetation and biomass from the agricultural industry to sequester carbon from the atmosphere, optimizing the use of the plants in factories, and transforming unused waste into biochar and wood vinegar. “We see agricultural waste not as a problem but as a potent solution,” explains Laksamana Sakti (Alif), Co-Founder of Neutura. “By converting this waste into biochar, we are tackling multiple challenges–reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving soil health, and creating sustainable farming practices.”
Biochar, a high-carbon form of charcoal produced through the process of pyrolysis, is an exceptional material. Its ability to enhance soil fertility is just the beginning. “Biochar holds immense potential,” says Alif. “It improves water retention and soil structure, leading to healthier crop growth and reduced reliance on chemical fertilizers. This is a game-changer for sustainable agriculture.”
However, the benefits of Neutura’s biochar extend beyond the fields. The material also finds applications in other industries, such as metallurgy and cement, contributing to enhanced material properties and a reduced environmental footprint. “Our vision is to see biochar integrated into various industries, each benefiting from its unique properties while contributing to a greener planet,” adds Alif.
In parallel, wood vinegar, another byproduct of this process, emerges as a natural pesticide and fertilizer. “Wood vinegar is an organic solution for plant care,” notes Alif. “It’s effective, eco-friendly, and aligns perfectly with our vision of a sustainable future in agriculture.”
The underlying technology, specialized pyrolysis equipment, is designed to be energy-efficient and fully integrated with factories and mills. “We’re investing in technology that not only supports the streamlined operations of our projects but also sets a new benchmark in low-emission processes,” Alif states.
These projects are built on a robust, scalable business model. Neutura aims for long-term profitability by leveraging biochar sales and generating carbon removal credits. “Our business model reflects our commitment to sustainability and profitability,” says Alif. With these projects, Neutura is not only addressing environmental issues but is also paving the way for a more sustainable, profitable future for the climate and agriculture industry.
Sequestering biochar for agriculture use
About – NEUTURA
Neutura harnesses the untapped potential of the world’s agricultural waste to leverage carbon removal opportunities. Trees and plants, as biomass, naturally absorb CO2 through photosynthesis yet release it into the atmosphere upon decomposition. Neutura’s mission is to intercept these emissions by transforming biomass into biochar via pyrolysis.
Our biochar serves as a long-lasting carbon-stable material capable of locking carbon for generations. It’s versatile, catering to soil enhancement and construction needs, all while generating carbon credits as an added value.

As the famous saying goes, “The grass is always greener…” but in a lot of cases when it comes to our lawns, the green is not there at all. And in Lubbock, where the temperatures and overall weather can vary in major ways – from super hot to super cold in the same week – it is key to work hard at a lot of different things so that the grass is greener on your side of the fence. I’ve found that one of the main things that you have to have going for you so that this very thing happens is a working sprinkler system that can properly water your grass in every spot so that there are no brown patches or dead sections. (Proper fertilization and professionals who can work on and consult on your lawn are key too.) Since sprinkler systems are so important, one has to make sure that they are working right.
It’s easy to assume that when you set the watering schedule for your yard all of the sprinkler heads are working. I know I certainly don’t watch my grass get watered and thus I wouldn’t know if I had any broken sprinkler heads (this can be the cause of a part of the lawn not getting watered and thus will result in those frustrating dead spots.) So, I recommend to any of you out there who care about the condition of your lawn to watch your sprinkler system when it turns on and try to note if all of your sprinkler heads are working. Actually, you might want to make sure that your entire sprinkler system is working. Otherwise your brown yard might be the eyesore that causes angst on your block.
Anyway, if you do find that you need Lubbock sprinkler system repair or even just Lubbock sprinkler head repair, make it a priority to find a highly reputable local company who knows what they are doing. There are plenty of them out there, but I recommend checking out websites and reviews to get the best idea of which company is the best. I personally vouch for a group called Rainmaker Irrigation (www.wateringdryplaces.com) but you will have to do your own discovery. I certainly don’t want to lead anyone astray on this issue.
Okay, that’s all I have for now. I’d love to hear back from you as to which companies you have trusted in the past with your sprinkler system repairs and what you think of them. Until then, happy watering and may your lawn be the greenest on the block!

The level of your agricultural production is likely to be affected by the choice you made as far as fertilizers are concerned. You are likely to experience a lot of confusion especially when selecting between organic fertilizers and synthetic fertilizers but the truth of the matter is you need to consider organic fertilizers. One reason which makes choosing an organic fertilizer beneficial is that it does not pose as an environmental hazard. An organic fertilizer works best because it is likely to be absorbed into the cell structure. Provided the Organic fertilizers are fully absorbed there is no likelihood that it can cause any level of pollution to any water source. The only thing you need to do to ensure that you do not affect the soil pH is to make sure that you use organic fertilizer and this is also going to dictate the level of fertility of the soil.
It is only when you decide to go for organic fertilizer that you are likely to appreciate more cost savings. In as much as you are likely to purchase an organic fertilizer at a higher price than the amount you need to purchase synthetic fertilizers you are likely to realise the value for your money. What is likely to happen when you purchase organic fertilizers is that you might not need to make extra purchases of pesticides and insecticides for your farm. Apart from the fact that insecticides and pesticides are very expensive they are also detrimental to the soil and the affect the soil composition. The good thing about purchasing an organic fertilizer is that it prevents you from worrying about certain mineral components that you need to add to your soil since they are already existing in organic fertilizer.
Considering to use an organic fertilizer is the best decision since the fertilizers are crop friendly. What makes organic fertilizers the best choice is the fact that they are not likely to give the crops are high scorching effect. What you need to avoid is excessive use of synthetic fertilizers since this is a way you can damage the roots and in turn, you are going to affect the absorption of nutrients from the soil. An organic fertilizer, on the other hand, is likely to give your plants the nutrients its demands and it is not going to result to stunted growth of plants. In a nutshell, using organic fertilizers is the only way you can be sure that you are soil structure is improved and this in turn leads to quick erase of absorption of water and nutrients as well as faster growth of crops.

What is plant pathology?
Plant Pathology is defined as the study of the organisms and environmental conditions that cause disease in plants, the mechanisms by which this occurs, the interactions between these causal agents and the plant (effects on plant growth, yield and quality), and the methods of managing or controlling plant disease. It also interfaces knowledge from other scientific fields such as mycology, microbiology, virology, biochemistry, bio-informatics, etc.
Plant Pathologists are scientists concerned with the understanding of the dynamic processes involved in the plant health. Their work is more research oriented.
Biology and/or Agricultural Science in Matric. Normally a pass with E (HG) or D (SG) symbol is a prerequisite for admission in these courses by most institutions.
Scientists have to qualify in BSc (Agric) in Plant Pathology (3 years).
What does one need to become a plant pathologist?
You must have a strong interest in biological science studies and research.
Where can training be undertaken?
Various universities in the country with faculties of agriculture offer qualifications in plant pathology, for example Natal University, University of the Free State, University of Stellenbosch and University of Pretoria to name but four.
Where do people qualified in this field work and what do they do?
Run registration trials and promote the products to farmers.
Test cultivars for disease resistance, breed seeds for better resistance.
Their clients often have technical problems which are associated with diseases, so they hire plant pathologists.
These work at most of the major plant pathology departments either as lecturers or Researchers.
Many go into the production field, either with their own interests or as a manager. Their broad training and understanding of the constraints of disease on production are excellent equipment for this role.
Several pathologists have ended up in this competitive and technically demanding job.
Some have Plant Pathologists start their own companies manufacturing biological control agents.
This is a demanding job, as it is a challenging field to consult in.

Welcome to Riverside Sod Farm, which grows quality turf-type tall fescue and bluegrass sod in West Virginia. Riverside Sod Farm provides sod for both commercial and residential customers with delivery anywhere in West Virginia or pick-up on site. Whether the job is large or small, you can enjoy the beauty of a fine lawn instantly, eliminating the long germination period and grow-in time of seeded lawns.
Charlie Price and Becky Morris, owners of Riverside Sod Farm recommend sod over seeding because a luscious green lawn takes time and preparation to accomplish and generally the amateur grower lacks the knowledge and inclination to provide these needs. Important factors include:
Proper use of fertilizers and soil amendments
Oversight during the initial growing period when the sprouts require a great deal of attention
Introduction of chemical pesticides to prevent weed infestation
Monitored watering periods
Once in place, sod will initiate rooting into the subsoil within seven days, much quicker than it typically takes seed to germinate.
Give Riverside Sod Farm a call at (304) 344-0581 to receive pricing for sodyou will be glad you did.
Questions? We've got the answers! If you have questions regarding our turf grasses, services, or other lawn care issues, please e-mail us at email@example.com or give us a call. If you have any ideas about how we can better serve you, we'd love to hear from you.

The Family Herbalist’s Guide To Growing and Harvesting Earth Friendly Organic Herbs
As the word ‘guide’ suggests, this is a practical, step by step approach to planting your own herb garden and harvesting the fruits of your labour. Because family herbalists grow herbs for both cooking and health, how the herbs are grown is very important.
The organic approach that we take does not rely on harmful pesticides or commercial granular fertilizers. Besides being the safest way to grow edible plants, our approach is in tune with the ethos of herb growing that has been practised for hundreds of years.
This mini-masterclass is also your ideas bank – with loads of suggestions on where and how to grow herbs, herb garden designs, companion planting advice, how to make your own organic pesticides and how to get herbs for free (legally and not holding up the local garden centre!).
We hope this class will not just remain on your smartphone but will become a daily guide, both dog eared and mud-stained. Above all, we hope it leads to your enjoyment and use of herbs in every aspect of your life.
Happy herb growing.

I’m jumping the gun by a day because… I didn’t get anything out of the garden this morning. I’m going to estimate the eggs for the day, which won’t effect things too much. July production in general has fallen off a little. This is why some AZ gardeners take July and August off. I can’t bring myself to do that because you can still be growing some good things if you put in a little extra effort. Here are the totals for July:
eggs – 72 (this was effected by the heat, also from losing one layer at the beginning of the month and two short vacations where we partially compensate our chicken-sitter with eggs :))
yellow squash – 6.5 lbs
zucchini – 12.5 lbs (a good haul but some significant disfigurement)
tomatoes – 3.75 lbs
jalepenos – .25 lbs
bell peppers – 7
cucumbers – 5 lbs
watermelons – 7 melons totaling 71 lbs! (yeah, this throws the production by weight off a little bit)
It was a good month! Obviously the watermelons helped out a lot and continue to produce. I have at least 4 more on the vine right now. Peppers are also continuing to do good and the sweet potato vines have come into their own and are growing like crazy. I can’t wait to see if we actually get some sweet potatoes. Temps have backed off a little, but it will be back up to 108 today. Cooler the rest of the week though with some possible monsoons. A little muggy (humidity over 80% at times), but a lot better than the 110+ we had for DAYS at the beginning of the month.
A good harvest in trying weather conditions.
I tend to almost shut down my allotment in the middle of our summers which are so hot and humid here in Brisbane and we tend to get mould diseases on our veggies.
I’ve noticed the bad bug activity increasing, especially as the plants turned south. I think some of the plants just get worn out. It might be different if I pulled some of them and succession planted.
We have had a few little tomatoes and a cuke or two, some yellow squash, small beets and lots of beet greens, turnips, turnip greens, small but very sweet carrots and swiss chard. We have a couple canteloupes growing and a watermelon or two, more pickling cukes and finally getting some flowers on our beefstake tomatoes-we’ll see if we actually get any. There are tons of yellow flowers on our pickling cukes, but we will see if they actually are cukes. There are still lots of yellow squash coming in the garden. One plant I looked at will probably have 3 perfect for dinner tomorrw or Friday. Really enjoying this!!
Sounds great! I think the fact that you all started a little later and have kept the shade cloth up has really helped. Plus all of the extra watering over the last month. It all sounds good. Keep with it, fall and winter can be even better!
My best crop has been broccoli, which doesn’t mind New Hampshire’s cool weather. Good year for yellow squash, due to our hot spell. Still waiting on corn, which I planted late. Lots of beets and swiss chard, and pulling our first carrots. Peppers slow, but have had a few. No tomatoes yet. One lone eggplant fruit. Overdose of lettuce.
Over on my site I’ve been focusing on sea-ice melting on the north pole, and the crazy guys sailing and rowing a midst the icebergs in the Northwest Passage. I got so cold I had to come to your site to warm up!
I know, I’ve been reading. Never knew there were lakes that form at the pole in summer time. Crazy stuff. Don’t get me started on the rowers.
Hahaha. But the rowers are so typical of youth. However one guy has two kids. He ought be a bit wiser, methinks.
Jones, you are too funny. I just finished reading your squash bug post. They certainly can bring a person to the brink of insanity, that’s for sure. I don’t worry about the dreaded Vine Borer. After two or three squash and zucchini, I’ve had enough for the year. When my plants start looking wilted and the stem in drying out, I pull the plant and pitch it in garbage. The little buggers can have their way at the land fill.
This year the potatoes look good. My neighbor has already dug up nearly a five gallon bucket full from just a few plants. The green beans did awesome this year. I harvested 4 to 5 gallons of beans from just 10 plants. Cabbage has been a real success this year. I have never had any success with starting seeds but this year the cabbage, eggplant, and tomatoes have done wonderfully well. The cucumbers, broccoli, watermelon, and pumpkins were a bust this year. It seems that every year is great for some plants and not so great for others. I haven’t decided yet if I will plant a fall garden. I still have about 150 feet of fencing to install which, for me, will take the rest of the year to get accomplished. It’s really a must before I can get some serious gardening accomplished. Those night shade critters seem to think that my garden is their buffet. I did get a few ears of sweet corn before they stripped it clean.
Have a great day in the Arizona garden.
Thanks, Dave! I agree, getting that fence up seems like the priority. It’s funny, I’m getting all ready for the cabbage, lettuce, and broccoli. Of course I don’t have to worry about too many animals eating mine, just the occasional bug, that is… if I keep the chickens’ wings clipped.
Congratulations on the harvest–especially the watermelons! Interesting about your drop-off in egg production. Ours (in Tennessee) dropped significantly in June-July even though our summer has been cooler than usual.
The only thing I can think of is that the increase in humidity has been tough on them. That and the fact that we lost one (I think she was a good producer). This summer has been a brutal one for AZ. Not the worst, but definitely not cooler than usual.

Summer is in full swing here on the farm. Crops are getting tall; roosters are getting fat, and the garden has sped into that uber productive phase of mid-summer. We recently arrived at the "if we don't grow it, we don't eat it" point of no return. Goodbye, supermarket produce!
And mostly it has been a good summer. Sure, some crops fail, but far more are succeeding. We tried to grow some new varieties this year. I couldn't resist the name of this lettuce in the seed catalogue: Drunken Woman! Isn't she lovely? Tasty, too. Not quite sure how she got the name, though.
Here are a few more garden photos to whet your appetite.

Here's my 25 week belly! It feels like it has grown a lot in the past week. The weather here's been great -- 60's and sunny -- so we've been really active: bike riding, walking everywhere, chasing after the kids we babysit outside, and going on picnics in the park. It's been great! The nice weather also means we get to start gardening. We have a plot for veggies right in our apartment complex, and we just started breaking up the soil today for planting a few spring plants.

Elizabeth Vaughan is the Food Systems Manager for Community Health Improvement Partners, or CHIP. Elizabeth is a leader in San Diego’s pioneering efforts in the national Farm To School movement, helping schools and other institutions work with local farmers and agriculture producers to purchase fresh foods.
Schools, hospitals and other institutions have significant buying power, and in recent years they’ve been aggressive in working with local food producers (farmers, fisherman and the like). This Farm To School movement helps in a number of ways, including:
- Bringing fresher foods into schools.
- Lessening the environmental impact of shipping food. And
- Supporting local economies.
On top of that, it’s also addressing the issue of equity in our food systems. When schools can partner with local farms, students are getting some of the best quality food around. And that flies in the face of the traditional narrative that school food is the worst, cheapest food around.
There's lots more here - enjoy!

EAT SMART NUTRITION CONSULTANTS
More bang for your Buck!
In Season Fruit and Veggie Advice
Get more value for money when doing your fruit and vegetable shopping by buying produce that is in season.
Certain plants only flower and produce fruit and vegetables at certain times of the year. As all the farmers have to harvest around the same time, it increases supply and reduces the general cost, hence saving you money.
Supermarkets generally dedicate large displays to this produce and reduce the price to move more stock. So not only are you buying fresher produce, it is also cheaper!!
Look for produce that is generally cheap, and in the large displays.
June is a great month for:
FRUIT: Bananas, grapefruit, and lemons.
VEGETABLES: Bean shoots; Broccoli; Carrot; Cauliflower; Pumpkin; and Silverbeet.
An added benefit apart from the cheaper prices, is that eating in season is a great way to increase your variety!! This is nature’s way of making sure our bodies get a healthy mix of nutrients and plant chemicals.

Bermuda grass is also better known as golf grass because it is often planted on golf courses. The leaves are grayish-green with a width of 2-15 cm and 1-30 cm. Golf grass is an expensive ornamental grass. In addition to the price of the seeds which are higher than other ornamental grasses, this grass also really needs regular maintenance. Its main enemy is water, where golf grass will easily rot if it is flooded. Therefore, this grass needs the best weed killer for Bermuda grass. This is of course to get quality grass.
Not only that, but this grass also needs a planting medium that has a smooth water channel so that it thrives. The form of care that must be given to this golf grass is not the same as other garden grass because the condition of the grass will greatly affect the smoothness of the golf game process so it must be cared for properly.
So this golf grass plant must be watered, fertilized, trimmed, and kept away from pests and diseases so that it is always ready to play.
Good Golf Lawn Fertilization
The nutrient requirements needed by golf grass plants vary from one course to another. This should be based on the results of the soil analysis of each golf course. Other factors that also affect the nutrient requirements of golf grass include thatch conditions, previous fertilization schedules, grass quality, and levels of pest and weed attack. This soil analysis is carried out every 6-12 months.
The most nutrients needed by golf grass are nitrogen (N). This element can be given according to the growth rate of grass plants. The green area on a golf course requires more N elements than other parts of the course. Likewise, the needs and methods of using fertilizers containing potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) elements must be adjusted to the results of soil analysis. Because after all this fertilization must be done as well as possible.
Pest and Disease Control
Pest and disease control schedules need to be adjusted according to their level of attack. While the control time itself depends on the season, whether it is dry season or rainy season when weed control efforts are made. For example, the pests that usually attack during the dry season are worms. Meanwhile, during the rainy season, the disease will start to attack golf grass plants. So you have to adjust the control efforts that must be made against the symptoms of the initial attack that appear.
Pay attention to the level of uniformity of grass growing on the golf course. Try to keep the field from being polluted by other weeds. Likewise, weeds or weeds that live on this golf course must be destroyed as soon as possible so that they do not take up nutrients in the course. You can do this weed control process chemically using herbicides or remove them manually. You have to take serious countermeasures so that the grass planted on the golf course thrives and looks neat.

September means one thing for our family: Apple Picking. For years we’ve made the drive out to Oak Glen to be met with orchards of apples ready to be picked. If we are early enough in the season like we were this year, there are a larger variety of apples and even sweet, red raspberries.
We pick at Los Rios Ranch, where they had Spartan, Gala and Red Delicious orchards open for picking. We collected half a bushel of apples with some of each kind and two baskets of raspberries. It was opening weekend when we went out this time and although it was a bit hot, the crowds weren’t too big which really nice.
When we were done picking we headed over to Riley’s Store for some apple cider and to pick up some tasty pumpkin butter and preserves. If you prefer not to pick, you can purchase your apples there, have some BBQ and listen to the band. For the animal lovers they have a small petting zoo with a llama, cow, sheep and angora goats which are super cute with their soft coat.
On our way back down we stop in at Snow Line Orchard for some apple donuts made right on site. They also have three kinds of cider: apple, raspberry apple and cherry apple. This orchard is a bit smaller but they have raspberries you can pick, apples for purchase and a small antique shop in the back.
Our last stop is at the Oak Tree Village where there are a few unique shops to walk through including one that recently has a good selection of Pyrex. If you are a fan of apple pie they serve slices with ice cream.
Do you and your family have any fall traditions?

The very best technology for the task isn’t always something from The Jetsons. Often Little Home on the Prairie approaches still work best.
White Violet Center for Eco-Justice, a ministry of the Sis of Providence, utilizes innovation to grow vegetables, fruit and flowers provided in a Community Supported Farming program and for the Sisters of Providence kitchens at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. These efforts prevent the need to have the fruit and vegetables trucked as much as 2,500 miles and supplies safe, organically grown vegetables, herbs and fruit for the siblings and to those in the surrounding community.
The staff, interns and volunteers are thrilled about the brand-new water station they will start utilizing this summer season.
Currently in the garden, an utilized restaurant sink linked to a tank enables the water utilized to wash veggies to be recycled when watering the plants.
” So the sink looks like any other sink, however the piping beneath goes over to a holding tank that has a sump pump in it,” discussed Candace Minster, garden supervisor. “When we require to water we turn on the pump. It’s kind of like a rain barrel.”
Candace stated it’s particularly good for vegetables like turnips, carrots, and beets that are pulled from the ground and extremely filthy. They will be cleaned up initially at the wash station in the garden and then go through a more refined wash back at the center.
Previously in the growing season, handheld soil blocker tools are used while planting in the greenhouse. Potting mix is compacted into the soil blockers to develop cubes of soil.
” You wind up getting a stronger root system,” Candace stated. “And you do not have the same transplant shock when moving them to the garden in the spring.”
She said utilizing the soil blockers likewise conserves a little time when planting in the field.
” Due to the fact that you’re not trying to wriggle plants out of trays and pots,” she explained.
Rather than a greenhouse, which uses a heating element, high tunnels are warmed by the sun. This is called passive solar. White Violet Center has 2 high tunnels.
Candace said it’s 5 to 8 degrees warmer inside the high tunnel on a cold day. But if it’s a sunny day there could be a 10 to 20 degrees distinction.
Crops are grown directly in the ground beneath the high tunnel that is made out of a layer of thick plastic. Row covers put on the plants imitate a blanket that approximately adds about 3 more degrees of heat.
” This enables us to grow all winter season long,” Candace said. “In the dead of winter we’re growing things like spinach, beats, kale, turnips, carrots and bok choy.”
So, as you can see, a few of the innovation used at White Violet Center has been working well for gardeners for many years. Utilizing the suitable technology for the task does not constantly indicate big, glossy and costly. It can also be easy and clever.

So avocado is green, right? Right! Mango does not come from anywhere near where I live but I went for it anyway, as they looked unblemished, plump and juicy! Today’s post of Avocado & Mango Salad is a delicious way to get into the mood for spring.Some of you living where there is still snow on the ground might be ready for a little warm weather and to see a few buds popping out on your trees and flowers. It’s happening in my neighborhood.
Yesterday after the rain stopped, the clouds started to dissipate and the sun started to peek out, I happened to step outside and was met with a very loud buzzing! The warm temps and rain gave occasion to many trees budding out on that day. With the rain gone and the wind still, forager bees ventured out from the safety of their hives. The sound I heard was an orchestra of busy bees in a red oak tree right outside my breezeway door. Thousands of bees gathering golden-yellow pollen from this one tree. Their pollen sacks laden with bounty, ready to be stored in the hive and used for food or to be turned into honey. Their choice! I stood and watched them work a while and then walked away to retrieve something I’d left in my car at which time I realized the music of their buzz could be heard several feet away. That sound is pleasing to a bee keeper, assurance that the hives will have food for their survival and honey for their keeper.
When you look at the photo below, you’ll see the pollen sacks full of golden pollen. When she returns to the hive the inside bees will remove the pollen from her sacks, store it in the comb and clean any pollen dust from her body, readying her for another trip to the tree. The second photo shows two bees working on the same bloom. There were thousands of hard-working little girls, I tell you.
This healthy and delicious salad, made even better by the drizzle of honey and lime dressing. The creamy avocado and juicy mango are enriched by the mixture of honey and fresh squeezed lime juice. A sprinkle of fresh ground pepper finishes off the salad. Served with fresh fruits on the side, grapes, strawberries, blueberries or any other fresh fruits you might have on hand could turn this into a lunch salad that will stand on its own. I served it alongside roasted elk au jus and organic brown rice. It was a satisfying stand-in to a green salad.
Avocado & Mango Salad with Honey-Lime Drizzle
1 ripe avocado
1 ripe mango
2 tsp. honey
juice of half a lime
Half and remove pit from avocado. Peel, slice and dice mango. Whisk together honey and lime juice. Place a leaf of washed leaf lettuce on a plate. Place an avocado half on the lettuce, fill the core with diced mango. Drizzle with honey-lime mixture and crack a little fresh ground pepper on top.

Abstract: While many studies have addressed the effect of individual stresses on plant–plant associations, few
have addressed the effects of co-occurring stresses. We therefore investigated how associations between Wyoming big
sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis) and 2 native grasses (Poa secunda and Elymus elymoides) responded
to different combinations of grazing and moisture stresses in the Great Basin, USA. Positive (i.e., facilitative) interactions
between nurse plants and their beneficiaries are predicted to increase with increasing moisture limitation and
grazing stress, but these interactions may break down at extreme levels of stress. We hypothesized that (1) competitive
interactions and negative shrub-grass spatial associations would occur under the least stressful conditions (low grazing
intensity /high precipitation); (2) positive shrub-grass spatial associations would dominate at intermediate levels of stress
(high grazing intensity /high precipitation and low grazing intensity /low precipitation); and (3) negative grass-shrub
relationships would dominate at extreme levels of stress (high grazing /low precipitation). We sampled 5 site pairs (high
vs. low grazing intensity) that occurred over a precipitation gradient. We assessed how abundance of the 2 grasses
P. secunda and E. elymoides responded to sagebrush microsite (canopy vs. interspace), grazing intensity, and precipitation.
We found that both grass species were positively associated with A. tridentata canopy microsites at low annual
precipitation levels. However, grazing stress appeared to weaken this effect for P. secunda, indicating, as we predicted, a
potential breakdown of facilitative interactions in highly stressful conditions. Although we predicted that facilitation
would dominate in moderately stressful conditions, we only found this to be true (for both grasses) in one of the 2 moderately
stressful scenarios (low grazing /low precipitation). Our results provide insights into how Great Basin plant
communities may respond to the separate and combined effects of grazing and drought stresses, both of which may
intensify in the future.
Abstract: As environmental stress increases positive (facilitative) plant interactions often predominate. Plant-plant associations (or lack thereof) can indicate whether certain plant species favor particular types of microsites (e.g., shrub canopies or plant-free interspaces) and can provide valuable insights into whether “nurse plants” will contribute to seeding or planting success during ecological restoration. It can be difficult, however, to anticipate how relationships between nurse plants and plants used for restoration may change over large-ranging, regional stress gradients. We investigated associations between the shrub, Wyoming big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis), and three common native grasses (Poa secunda, Elymus elymoides, and Pseudoroegneria spicata), representing short-, medium-, and deep-rooted growth forms, respectively, across an annual rainfall gradient (220–350 mm) in the Great Basin, USA. We hypothesized that positive shrub-grass relationships would become more frequent at lower rainfall levels, as indicated by greater cover of grasses in shrub canopies than vegetation-free interspaces. We sampled aerial cover, density, height, basal width, grazing status, and reproductive status of perennial grasses in canopies and interspaces of 25–33 sagebrush individuals at 32 sites along a rainfall gradient. We found that aerial cover of the shallow rooted grass, P. secunda, was higher in sagebrush canopy than interspace microsites at lower levels of rainfall. Cover and density of the medium-rooted grass, E. elymoides were higher in sagebrush canopies than interspaces at all but the highest rainfall levels. Neither annual rainfall nor sagebrush canopy microsite significantly affected P. spicata cover. E. elymoides and P. spicata plants were taller, narrower, and less likely to be grazed in shrub canopy microsites than interspaces. Our results suggest that exploring sagebrush canopy microsites for restoration of native perennial grasses might improve plant establishment, growth, or survival (or some combination thereof), particularly in drier areas. We suggest that land managers consider the nurse plant approach as a way to increase perennial grass abundance in the Great Basin. Controlled experimentation will provide further insights into the life stage-specific effectiveness and practicality of a nurse plant approach for ecological restoration in this region.

Sometimes we hear all kinds of strange claims about what the European Union is debating and what it’s trying to do.
Recent increases in bee mortality and a declining number of beekeepers across Europe could threaten food production and security, environmental sustainability and biodiversity if left unchecked. An estimated 84% of plant species and 76% of food production in Europe are dependent on pollination by bees.
A recent report urged the European Union Commission to invest money in disease prevention and control and further research into the impact of environmental factors on the bee community as disease and pesticides are taking their toll. Bees are developing resistance to the limited amount of medicines available so more need to be created and produced.
It’s only by working together on cross border issues that we can find a solution not just for Hertfordshire, but for Europe.

By Ronald Joshua
NEW YORK | BAMAKO (IDN) – Fatou Dembele is a farmer in landlocked Mali, where half of the population engaged in agriculture are women. Agriculture is a key sector to lift women out of poverty. But the increasing degradation of land and natural resources caused by climate change is making women more vulnerable.
Therefore when Dembele’s plants first started dying, she thought the plot of land was ruined, and her livelihood was at risk. “We thought the land was sick. We didn’t know that there were live parasites that attacked the roots of the plants and could kill them,” says Dembele. (P50) FRENCH｜INDONESIAN | ITALIAN | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | PORTUGUESE | SPANISH | SWAHILI | TURKISH
The increased number of parasites, because of rising temperatures and humidity, is just one of the many side effects of climate change Dembele and other women farmers are faced with.
To combat the negative impact of climate change on women’s livelihoods, a new UN Women programme known as Agriculture Femmes et Développement Durable (AgriFed), implemented by the local non-governmental organization Groupe d’Animation Action au Sahel (GAAS) Mali, is helping local producers adapt to these new challenges.
The programme works with farmers to modernize their techniques, enables their access to information on latest advances in agriculture and increases the value of their products by improving their conservation methods.
“The effects of climate change are not sparing Mali, and are hitting this country hard, an additional challenge in an extremely fragile security context in the Sahel region,” Maxime Houinato, UN Women Country Representative in Mali, said at a side event co-organized by UN Women on March 14 at the 62nd session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW62).
“And yet, Mali, although a low contributor to the global emission of greenhouse gases, is no less committed to the race to adapt to the effects of climate change,” she added.
To restore Dembele’s production, the programme taught her how to use locally available biopesticides to eliminate the parasites. “Thank goodness, we learned that there are local plants whose extracts can fight this disease,” says Dembele.
AgriFed started its activities in 2017 in the Segou region, over 200 kilometres northeast of Bamako, the capital of Mali. Training on sustainable agriculture techniques reached 247 women and 66 men. The training helped farmers improve water usage, crop scheduling, pesticide and fertilizer use, and cultivation techniques.
In the towns of Boidié and Sécoro, and Cercle de Tominan, women have improved and increased production of shallots thanks to the training. But during harvest, it became clear that the women needed to learn how to conserve their produce better.
“We grow shallots and onions because of their long shelf-life, but we did not know conservation techniques [before],” explained Hayèrè Keita, a shallot producer and seller in Sécoro. “Following our traditional methods, the rates of loss can be very high.”
UN Women supported further training sessions that showed the farmers how to preserve products like shallots, onions and potatoes. Around 110 women producers have managed to increase their revenues using these modern production and preservation techniques.
“I have been growing vegetables and fruits for 20 years, but I only knew the traditional way of doing it,” says Alphonsine Dembele, another farmer.
“AgriFeD taught us to diversify the products we grow, with the introduction of the potatoes, tomatoes and peppers. They not only bring additional income, but also help improve nutrition at home and reduce malnourishment in our children. says Dembele, the other farmer.
She adds: “It has had a positive influence on social cohesion, because women [from different ethnic communities] now meet and have dialogues during the training sessions in the fields.”
The programme, funded by the Government of Luxembourg, will run for five years and is expected to be replicated in other areas of the country.
The programme was launched on December 12, 2017 with a view to building the resilience of a million women and youth in the Sahel to climate impacts through smart agriculture at the One Planet Summit. The launch coincided with a gathering of world leaders in the French capital to mark the anniversary of the landmark Paris Climate Change Agreement.
The One Planet Summit, co-hosted by the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, and the President of the World Bank, Jim Yong Kim, aimed at supporting the formal UN process on climate action as nations look to raise climate ambition in the run up to 2020.
The initiative is a programme of the United Nations Integrated Strategy for the Sahel (UNISS) and the G5 Secretariat. The G5 Sahel, the institutional framework for development coordination among the five countries in the region – Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, and Niger – has identified combatting climate change and environmental degradation, along with their effects on rural populations, as a priority.
At the national level, governments are working on adaptation strategies; the new initiative is designed to support those efforts. UN Women presented the programme, which is among some 12 showcased at the Summit, on behalf of the UN system. [IDN-InDepthNews – 27 March 2018]

and ruminant digestive systems. Key Terms: Ñ abomasum absorption anabolism bloat catabolism cecum crop digestion duodenum gastrointestinal tract gizzard.
Rumen Digestive System The process of rumination is assisted by the presence of bacteria in the rumen, which then breaks down the cellulose that exists in plants. The food which is digested is then moved to the reticulum. There are some animals who cannot digest cellulose owing to the complicated components present in it. Ruminants are herbivorous mammals of the suborder Ruminantia that are able to acquire nutrients from plant-based food by fermenting it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion, principally through microbial actions.
In the process of ruminal fermentation, nutrients produced such as B-vitamins and CLA, also provide us food products which contain nutrients essential to our diet. 2019-09-09 · The key difference between digestive systems of ruminants and non ruminants is the structure of stomach. Non ruminants have simple stomach while the stomach of ruminants consists of four compartments i.e. rumen, reticulum, omasum and abomasum. The digestive system of ruminants consists of following organs: Mouth – with teeth, tongue and pharynx Function. As I previously mentioned, this compartment is similar to a non-ruminant stomach and thus has a low pH (due to the production of hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes) which are fundamental to digest the remaining part of the feed which was ingested, being some proteins of the feed particularly important (in this case, pepsin, is the enzyme which breaks down proteins).
Digestive Tract of Ruminant Mouth. Esophagus. A four-chambered stomach – rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasums. The small and large intestine.
Unlike monogastrics such as swine and poultry, ruminants have Non-Ruminant Digestion. The non-ruminant digestive system only has one stomach where food is broken down into needed nutrients. Examples of ruminant animals are: pigs, horses and humans to name a few.

The basic composition and functions performed by the microorganisms of the ruminant digestive system. In the digestive system of ruminants, the composition of the microbiome is estimated to contain more than 5000 microbe species, compared to ~1464 species found in carnivores, omnivores, and human beings.

It’s that time of the year again! Spring is upon us and so is the annual tradition known as Mulch Madness. This is the time that people across the country flock to their local garden store to purchase piles and loads of mulch. What exactly is mulch precisely? And what are its benefits? In this blog post, we will answer every question you have about mulch and show you all that you should know in so that you can make an informed decision on whether or not you should purchase it for your home.
Mulch is a type of material that is spread across the soil to cover soil. It aids in retaining humidity in your soil. Additionally, it controls weeds, and improves the appearance of your lawn. Mulch is made of a variety of materials, including wood chips, bark straw, straw, and plastic.
Benefits of Mulch
There are numerous benefits when you use mulch in your landscape. Some of the most notable are:
Reducing water evaporation from the soil’s at the surface
- Conserving water by reducing run-off
- Helping to keep soil temperatures stable
- Preventing soil erosion
- Enhancing the appeal of your garden
Mulch : Moisture
Mulch helps to keep moisture in soil, that reduces the need for irrigation.
Mulch reduces weeds, which reduces the time and cost on the control of weeds.
Mulch can improve the look of your landscape by making it more attractive.
Types of Mulch
There are various kinds of mulch available in the marketplace, all of which has their own benefits. A few of the most common varieties are:
Wood chips Made from recycled wood, wood chips can be a healthy way to cover your garden with mulch. They aid in removing weeds as well as add organic matter to the soil.
Mulch : Bark
Bark Made from woody bark It is a great option for those who want a natural mulch that also adds nutrients to the soil. It aids in preventing erosion and water retention.
Straw is made of wheat or other plants , and is an excellent choice for those looking for an organic mulch. Straw helps to keep weeds under control, retains moisture, and provides nutrients to the soil.
It is made from recycled tires, rubber mulch is the most popular choice among gardeners due to its durability and durable. It also helps suppress the growth of weeds and also retain moisture.
It can be used as a base layer under different types of mulch. It deters weeds from growing and helps keep the soil moist.
When selecting a mulch, take into consideration the climate in which you live and the types of plants that you’re growing. The ideal kind of mulch to use in your garden will depend on your personal circumstances. No matter what type of mulch you decide to use, be sure to distribute it evenly and keep the freshness. Mulch can help make your garden look great as well as improve its health and vitality. So don’t put off getting out there and mulch today!
Mulching is an important part of gardening and there are a variety of types of mulch to choose from. This article will talk about three popular types of mulch including organic, rubber and plastic.
Organic mulch can be made from natural materials such as bark, compost or straw. It is broken down over time and gives nutrients to the soil. Organic mulch is a good choice for gardens with plants that need rich soil like fruit trees or vegetables.
It is made from the recycled tires of rubber. It isn’t able to break down as organic mulch does, however, it does provide some insulation against extreme temperatures. Rubber mulch is a good option for gardens that experience hot summers or cold winters.
Plastic mulch is made of tough sheets of plastic. It isn’t able to break down or provide nutrients to soil, but it can aid in retaining moisture in the soil. Plastic mulch is a good choice for gardens with dry or sandy soil.
Mulch is an often overlooked however it is an extremely vital component of every garden. It assists in protecting plants from the elements, retain soil moisture, and may even enhance the overall health of your garden.

Vision: To live on a sustainably cultivated land surrounded by a functioning forest ecosystem serving as a natural fire break. Promote the idea and support and inspire others to reduce the fire risk in the region.
Mission: To create a safe environment at Keela Yoga Farm and the surrounding region of Castelo Branco, Fundao and Penamacor.
When looking for land in Portugal, we were hoping to buy around 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of land and designate 1 hectare for reforestation. However we ended up buying 18.1 hectares (45 acres) of very fertile land and so our reforestation project is now going to be on a much larger scale. Click here to buy some trees at cost price for us to plant.
There are a lot of forests in Portugal, however they are usually planted specifically for farming and profit such as eucalyptus and pine trees. We will give our land for the following types of permanent reforestation:
10 hectares (25 acres) of native mixed forest.
This is a current barren area which was burned down in a wild fire around 5 years ago and now has some grasses and small trees popping up everywhere.
We will predominantly plant a variety of oaks (cork, holm, Portuguese, American) and a variety of other native trees that grow well here such as the strawberry tree, olive tree, chestnuts and alder. Please click here for the complete list.
We are aiming to create as much diversity as possible and will include an understory.
In between planting all these native trees, we will also plant faster growing trees such as pine. These trees will shoot up faster and provide some shade for the other native trees. Then after around 20 years we will clear most of the pine to use for any buildings, decking, benches or fence posts. This will be part of our carbon offsetting program as every time you grow a tree you are taking carbon out of the air and putting it into the wood. As long as you don’t burn the tree you are keeping the carbon out of the air.
After the pines have been harvested the native mixed forest will be left to thrive by itself with minimum human intervention. We will also leave at least 1 hectare completely to nature, this will be so we can observe what naturally occurs over the years.
Why not buy some trees on behalf of a friend or yourself for us to plant and offset your carbon footprint? Click here . We will buy the plants on your behalf and we will fund collection, planting and irrigation.
3 hectares of Food forest
This is in the areas with very fertile terraces that are currently overgrown with weeds and brambles and have some olive trees that require some attention. This area was historically used for growing vegetables and olive trees. They were burnt down by the wild fire and are now growing back naturally. We will be aiming to create a diversity of trees and plants that will provide us with food. A diversity of trees in a food forest, rather than a traditional orchard, creates a habitat for the food soil web and wildlife which then leads to soils that become increasingly more fertile. We will be spreading the trees out further to create more space for light to come to the understory so that we can plant an array of plants that will provide us with fruit, vegetables, nuts, firewood, timber and anything else that we can grow.
Please click here to learn more about food forests.
3 hectares of diversifying the existing forests
We already have some land that has many cork and holm oak trees but we plan to plant other trees around here to add diversity. Most locals will only keep cork trees in monoculture and plough everything in between them, destroying the food soil web and diversity. They do this as every 9 years the bark (cork) is removed from the tree and sold for insulation and wine bottles. If we can create income from our yoga classes and courses to cover the costs of living and reforestation, we will not need to cut the bark off.
2 hectares of open land and pasture
We can not reforest all of our land, open space is also nice 🙂
Help us with reforestation by buying baby trees. You buy the trees, we will supply the manure, tools and volunteers to plant them. Baby trees range from 1 EUR for 5 trees to 1 EUR for 1 tree, or can be upto 10 EUR for larger trees.

GM Crops in Africa: Who Stands To Benefit?
Cradle to Grave Care
- As the world rallies against climate change, a multimillion-dollar quest to develop drought and insect resistant crop varieties in Africa has gained track
- South African activist organisation, African Centre for Biodiversity has accused WEMA – a climate change project focused on developing hybrid and genetically modified maize seeds for smallholder farmers – of ‘green washing’ farmers to benefit a few big seed and agro-chemical companies
- The organisation wants the Gates Foundation and other projects donors such as USAID and DfID to shift their funding from ‘catastrophic green revolution interventions to genuine solutions’
A recent report co-authored by Oxford University academics put the agriculture sector at the top of a list of jobs that are threatened by computerisation and robots. The report titled Creativity versus Robots said the growing of cereals and fibre crops, raising dairy cattle, sheep and goats, mixed farming and marine fishing are among the least creative occupations, and are therefore prime candidates for automation.
Agriculture employs about 65% of the population in Africa and accounts for 32% of the continent’s overall GDP. There is no need for the sector’s stakeholders to panic yet, as this study focused on industrialised countries. However, going by the number of African governments seeking and adopting technology, the robots might not remain in the distant future for too long.
What is really alarming now is the rate at which big seed, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies are becoming vertically integrated both upstream and downstream of farmers, and the credibility of various initiatives designed to adapt and mitigate climate change.
Climate change has affected agriculture production and particularly the cultivation of maize. Maize, the most popular staple crop in Africa, is extremely vulnerable to environmental factors such as drought and irregular rainfall. The existing projects aimed at developing drought- and insect-tolerant maize (hybrid and genetically modified) have seen varying degrees of success. One visible regional programme, perhaps due to the heavyweight backers, is the Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA).
WEMA was launched in 2008, with a US$47 million pledge by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Howard G Buffet Foundation. Seed and chemical maker Monsanto partnered in the initiative, offering its technology and technological support to implement the project. Other partners include the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) and the national agriculture research institutions in each WEMA countries, namely, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, Mozambique and Uganda. The Gates Foundation has so far given some US$85 million to WEMA.
WEMA aims to increase food security in sub-Saharan Africa through the development of ‘drought-tolerant maize using convectional breeding, marker-assisted breeding and biotechnology’ and to make it available to small-scale farmers ‘royalty free’, meaning it is available at a reduced price to some but not all farmers.
The project has made some breakthroughs in the recent past, although this has mainly been for its non-GM hybrid seed varieties. Last year WEMA harvested the first non-GM crops and the first varieties are expected to be in the market in the next two years. GM drought tolerant and insect resistant varieties are expected to follow suit. The technology could yield an extra two million tons of food that could feed up to 21 million people, according to Monsanto.
Critics of Monsanto say its participation in WEMA has provided an opportunity for the company to influence biosafety legislation in participating countries and clear the path for other commercially viable GM products.
Unimpressed by WEMA’s purported successes is the South Africa-based African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB), an activist organisation. ACB recently published a report labelling WEMA as ‘nothing more than corporate green washing designed to ensnare smallholder farmers into adopting hybrid and genetically modified maize in order to benefit seed and agro-chemical companies.’
The organisation wants the Gates Foundation and other donors involved such as USAID, DfID, SIDA and DANIDA to shift their funding from ‘catastrophic green revolution interventions’.
"The fact that WEMA project is being touted as a Climate Smart Agriculture case study is a shocking indication of how much ground has been lost to multinational agribusiness in the climate policy space in Africa and internationally," says Mariam Mayet, director of ACB.
The report titled Profiting from the Climate Crisis; Undermining Resilience: Gates and Monsanto's Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA) Project claims WEMA, under the guise of philanthropy and fighting climate change, is facilitating a take over of ownership of maize breeding, seed production and marketing to the private sector.
The discourse on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has always been emotive, with proponents saying science trumps and that this is the best way to feed the burgeoning population. The opponents are adamant GM crops make consumers sick and don’t even live up to promises of increased yields. Caught in the middle is the public who really don’t know who to believe.
The fact that companies like Monsanto are able to patent seeds like software companies patent software is of grave concern in many quarters. Farmers are encouraged to abandon their traditional seed diversity and adopt GM-monocultures, locking them in long-term and dependent relationship with seed companies and other downstream players.
Policy advisor on climate and agriculture at Bread for the World, Eike Zaumseil, says WEMA justifies fears of civil society that Climate Smart Agriculture provides a dangerous platform for corporations to implement industrial agriculture.
“There is overwhelming evidence that industrial agriculture is destructive to people, biodiversity, seed, water, soils, and the climate,” he says.
The report also argues that Monsanto's GM drought tolerant maize is likely to spell disaster for smallholder farmers as it will not perform predictably under conditions of environmental stress - exactly the kind of conditions it is meant to thrive in.
"The inclusion of Monsanto's insect resistant GM maize MON810 into the WEMA project is astounding given that this variety has already dismally failed both commercial and smallholder farmers in South Africa," says Gareth Jones, the author of the report.
WEMA's partners have made their best maize germplasm lines available to the project, with Monsanto ‘donating' the drought-tolerant gene while retaining complicated intellectual property rights on it. Much of the germplasm from CIMMYT is the result of another Gates funded initiative, the Drought Tolerant Maize for Africa (DTMA) project. WEMA's implementing partner is the industry-backed African Agricultural Technology Agency (AATF).
“The WEMA model will reach only a select subsidised layer of small-scale farmers. Further, the costs and technical requirements of both GM and hybrid seed production, currently beyond the reach of small African seed companies, will inevitably lead to industry concentration, enabling multinational agrochemical/quasi seed companies to dominate," says Mayet.
Consolidation and vertical integration in the global seed industry is not novel and continues unabated, according to Professor Bruce Blumberg of University of California.
This month Monsanto made an offer to buy Swiss crop chemical company Syngenta for $45billion. A combination of the two companies would create the biggest provider of seeds and crop chemicals, challenging industry players such as Bayer, BASF, Dow Chemical and DuPont.
Says Professor Blumberg; “If you look at the graph (below) there is a vertical integration in the industry that is quite disturbing;
- Nearly all seed companies were, or are being purchased by pesticide and biotech companies.
- Pesticide and biotech companies are either owned by, or divested from pharmaceutical companies. The seed companies sell crops that are resistant to parent company’s pesticides and herbicides.
- This leads to increased agrochemical use. Increased use of agrochemicals probably leads to adverse health consequences. Pharmaceutical parent company’s drugs are used to treat these adverse health consequences
“I call it ‘cradle to grave’ care,” says Professor Blumberg.

Known as a friend of the farmer in need of a reliable cover crop, the Red Clover’s (Trifolium pretense) reputation changes when it appears in lawns to that of an uninvited guest. Michigan’s favorite cover crop is the Red Clover. It serves to increase organic matter and replace nitrogen in the soil after corn or small grain crops have exhausted the soil. Cursed as a weed, Red Clover is attacked with varieties of herbicides and digging-out methods by determined home-owners striving for the “perfect” lawn. A weed is any plant that is considered unwanted and like the saying goes, “one man’s trash is another’s treasure”, Red Clover falls into either category depending on one’s green space. I want to make note here that whether green lawn or farmland both of these habitats are man-made and non-native similar to the Red Clover’s official alien status.
The child in me remembers gently pulling a petal out of the round bloom and quickly sucking the bottom end to taste a single drop of sweet nectar. There is an art of carefully pulling out the petal so that you get the whole petal with that tiny sack of nectar at the base; pull too quickly and no nectar. The task was tedious and the reward was tiny, but decadent for the sweet loving child. Interestingly Red Clover is not a favorite of honey bees because of the long path to the nectar; bees aren’t able to easily harvest Red Clover nectar.
Friendly host to the Common Sulphur (Colias philodice) butterfly seen in this image, it is a favorite choice for egg laying as well as nectar dining.

The Fox Creek Community Garden is prepping for the season.
On May 4, volunteers topped up the garden boxes with extra soil and peat moss. The group also has a new cultivating tool that was purchased with the money raised from the bottles Lynne Parent and Al Hansen collected.
Currently there is 35 boxes ready to be planted in!
Millar Western donated more wood, enabling eight more boxes to be built. All garden boxes are rented, including the eight that will be built within the next week or two.
Allen Hansen, James Weber and Donna Moore have been faithful volunteers, working hard to get the garden boxes ready for this year’s planting season.
Two more owls (to scare away the ravens) and a new compost area that was built out of wooden pallets were added this year. Rockwater is again donating a porta-potty for community members to use throughout the season.
A meeting was held on May 3 for the community gardeners to review the gardening contacts and receive feedback; there is lots of excitement for the 2016 planting season!
For more information on the Community Garden, contact the Community Resource Centre – 780-622-3758.

Purchasing a Christmas tree is becoming more and more of an adventure
A cold spring, regionally heavy rainfall in April to May and a long dry period in August and September have not made it easy for farmers this year. Even the Christmas tree business has been affected. The trees are cultivated on an approx. 50,000 hectare area in Germany. On person, who knows a great deal about Nordmann firs, blue spruce, etc. is Frank Uwihs. He is the special cultures expert for the cultivation and care of strawberries, asparagus and Christmas trees at AGRAVIS Raiffeisen AG and provides some tips for tree purchasing in the interview.
- Bildmaterial zum Content
- AGRAVIS Special Cultures Expert, Frank Uwihs, knows the trends for Christmas trees.
How can you tell whether it is a good-quality tree?
Uwihs: Trees that have grown evenly and have an healthy, green colour to the needles are particularly good. There is a longer lead time from harvesting them on the field and the point at which the tree is put up in the living room. Customers should be aware and check that the Christmas tree is not already dropping needles when purchasing.
What are the new trends of the Christmas tree business?
Uwihs: Nowadays customers can buy a Christmas tree from almost anywhere, whether it is a supermarket, hardware store or in a yard. Moreover the purchase surrounding the tree is becoming more and more of an experience. The whole family comes to the yard and enjoys the atmosphere with mulled wine and hot chocolate.
What can farmers look out for when cultivating?
Uwihs: Currently a vast amount of energy is being exerted in Christmas tree cultivation. It is important to trim the shoots at the right time and lift the base of the crown from the floor. In doing so the tree will grow in the right direction and will have sufficient air and space underneath. Moreover, less disease is likely to develop. Three years prior to harvest, the topiary begins: by doing this the farmer can encourage the correct shape. A special trick is to scratch the bark so that the tree does not rapidly shoot up, but grows evenly.

Food starts with the corn kernel and its four unique parts: the endosperm, pericarp, germ and tip cap. We use those four parts of the corn kernel to make grits, meals, flours, and whole grain corn flours.
- Endosperm - The endosperm carries most of the dry weight of the kernel. This part of the kernel contains starch, which is commonly used in food. The endosperm provides the starch necessary to produce sugar molecules for ethanol production.
Products that come from this part are grits, meals and flours. Flour is the finest out of all three products made from the endosperm and grits are coarsest.
- Germ - The germ is the only living part of the kernel and is the centermost piece. This part stores genetic information, enzymes, vitamins and minerals for the kernel so it can grow when it is on the ear. Twenty-five percent of the germ
is oil, making it one of the most valuable parts of the kernel.
- Tip cap - This part attaches the kernel to the cob. Water and nutrients flow through here to help the kernel alive.
- Whole kernel - We grind the whole corn kernel down to a specific granulation to make our whole grain corn meal.

We work with some of the Hill Tribes that populate Northern Thailand (Lampang – Chae Hom District). Over more than 20 years, we have been helping these people and have been promoting their human development, health and education. For instance, among other activities, we are taking care of more than 800 students and hosting 200 of them in our 5 boarding schools.
With the project “Caffè Bruno” we want to help provide sustainable job for the hill tribe as well as providing opportunity for education, through fair trade purchase of coffee beans from the hill tribe farmers which is used in our coffee production. The entire proceeds from benefit goes to the hill tribe student scholarships, under the care of “Mary Queen of Peace” Center.
Our goals are:
• to use the profits from coffee-beans sales to set up scholarships for the children of these villages.
• to raise awareness, among the local villagers, about organic, sustainable and pesticide-free cultivations.
• to improve the living and working condition of local tribes, so they can stay rooted to their territory and not migrate.
• to promote the development and the quality of the beans produced, improving each step of the process and adopting italian machinery and techniques to obtain a superior coffee.

About the Company
High-Quality Food & Beverage Ingredients
Sierra Agra USA is a food processing company based in Reedley, in the heart of California’s Central Valley agricultural breadbasket. We turn the region’s abundant fruits and vegetables into high-quality feedstock to make juices, purees and concentrates for the US market.
Mr. Watson has worked in Sierra Leone during the past fourteen years in agriculture and mining and has been instrumental in improving CSR standards in those sectors.
Mr. Concari is the Managing Director of Tropical Food Machinery s.r.l., (“TFM”) based in Busseto, Italy and sole supplier and advisor of the processing equipment for the SAUSA Reedley plant.
Our employees are the energy that drives us forward. Their commitment, expertise and diversity are the key to the company's success. Because of this, we are committed to offering them full-time employment, above-average wages and access to healthcare benefits. We also make sure that they get the right training and support and are healthy and safe in their daily work.
About half of the fruit and vegetables we grow every year are rejected by supermarkets and produce distributors for minor cosmetic imperfections, ending up ploughed under in farms or rotting in landfills. But while these produces might look a little “wonky” on the outside, they taste the same on the inside. As part of our commitment toward a lower carbon future, we redirect part of these abundant culls into purposeful feedstock to make our products, preventing a huge waste of perfectly usable product from negatively impacting our air and the climate.
How We're Making Change:

According to the exploration of experimental research and Practice for many years, according to the characteristics of soil and crops, fertilizer mixed application of science; not only can improve the effectiveness of the nutrient, physical and chemical properties and can improve the fertilizer, reduce the labor intensity of farmers, so as to realize the true meaning of the crop high yield and high efficiency. But the following three aspects should be paid attention to:
1., master the three principles of mixing: no mixture can be reduced after mixing, and no adverse physical and chemical properties will be produced after mixing. The proportion of nutrient species must be suitable for the nutritional needs and soil fertility of crops.
2. it is necessary to find out which fertilizers can be mixed, which chemical fertilizers can not be mixed and which fertilizers can only be mixed temporarily but not for long time.
(1) can be mixed. In addition to nitrate nitrogen fertilizer, almost all chemical fertilizers can be mixed with organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizer and fertilizer combined, can play a combination of speed, the effect of complement, help each other in case of need, the fertilizer can accelerate the decomposition of rotten organic fertilizer, organic fertilizer can activate insoluble nutrient fertilizer, improve the utilization rate of the fertilizer. In addition, some fertilizer can not only be mixed, but also the effect is better after mixing. Such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride and other physiological acid nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus ore powder mixed use, can improve the solubility of phosphorus, enhance fertilizer efficiency, if used in calcareous soil, the effect will be better. The combination of potassium chloride and ammonium nitrogen fertilizer can inhibit the nitrification of soil and reduce the loss of nitrogen. The combination of potassium chloride and ammonium nitrate reduces the low moisture solvability and makes the physical properties better.
(2) not to be mixed. The mixed use of some fertilizers will cause great loss of nutrients and cause great waste. Such as ash, lime, phosphate slag and alkaline fertilizer can not decomposition of human waste, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium chloride, ammonium fertilizer mix, otherwise, will cause a chemical reaction, oxygen volatilization of nitrogen loss and effective phosphorus fixation; ash and lime alkaline fertilizer and superphosphate and phosphate rock is not mixed, otherwise it will make water soluble nutrients transform the soluble nutrients, and reduce fertilizer efficiency. Organic fertilizer can not be mixed with nitrogenous nitrogen, otherwise denitrification can cause nitrogen loss. There is not, ammonia, ammonium sulfate and ammonium bicarbonate as kiln ash potassium mixed fertilizer; ammonia urea, potassium chloride, and should not be mixed application of urea phosphate powder; not with calcium magnesium phosphate, kiln ash potassium mixed fertilizer, etc..
(3) can be temporarily mixed but not long. That is to say, some fertilizer can be mixed, but it must be applied immediately after mixing. Such as nitrate fertilizer and superphosphate mixed fertilizer, deliquescence, moisture absorption, inconvenient to use, if not for a long time, the net nitrogen will China gold investment greatly losses, and effectively transform the soluble phosphorus and phosphorus; urea and potassium chloride mixed for a long time, although there is no loss of nutrients, but also increase the moisture absorption, the caking of fertilizer. Difficult to use.
3. about the mixing of foliar fertilizer and plant growth regulator with other fertilizers and pesticides. Generally speaking, the market of the foliar fertilizer or plant growth regulators are acidic or neutral, acidic and acidic fertilizer and pesticide mixture, but not with alkaline fertilizer such as lime and alkaline pesticides such as Bordeaux mixture application. Foliar fertilizer or fertilizer, plant growth regulators and acidic acidic pesticides mixed properly, such as adding regulator of nitrogen phosphorus and potassium, boron, zinc fertilizer, foliar fertilizer and plant growth, can not only reduce the number of fertilization, but also synergistic, so that the fertilizer effect play better.

|Entrant Company:||NetBramha Studios|
|URL Link (optional):||https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qP3ehILUSHcBkefP-SwbF_ssLwsFAKZV/view?usp=sharing|
|Description:||SeedWorks partnered with us to build India’s first-ever end-to-end simplified farmer support app that keeps farmers engaged & informed. After talking to more than 690 farmers across the country, we realized that farmers were in dire need of authentic crop-related information and were mainly dependent on WhatsApp conversation with company representatives, farmers gathering in the evening, and Kisan call centers.
Moreover, they were quite well-versed with using smartphones, keen users of platforms such as YouTube & TikTok, and relied heavily on voice searches. These unique insights helped us build the SeedWorks app that had unique gamification features and a one-of-its-kind crop calendar that provided step-by-step customized help in crop production.
With strong visual cues, amicable conversational tone, and voice feature as a constant across all platforms, the SeedWorks app has become an ally of farmers - potentially changing the lives of 14.5 crore farmers and bettering the nation from the grassroots level.

As a tortoise keeper you already know how important it is to give your tortoise the best diet possible.
Mediterranean tortoises thrive on a diet of leafy green plants and whilst some are available to buy in the supermarket, you can now grow a bigger selection at home for a fraction of the price.
Pro Rep have just released their Tortoise Life Tortoise Feed Growing Kit. The kit contains everything you need to grow nutritious, edible ‘weeds’ for your tortoise.
- Seeds (enough for 4 sowings!).
- Seed trays.
- Propagator top.
- Full instructions.
The seeds typically include Dandelion, Smooth Hawks Beard, Nipplwort, Chicory, Smoth Sow Thistle, Great Plantain, Hoary Plantain, Ribwort Plantain, Common Mallow, Musk Mallow, Dwarf Mallow, Shepherds Purse, Hairy Bittercress, Wavy Bittercress, White/ Dutch Clover, Red Clover, Common Vetch, Sainfoin, Creeping Bell Flower, Field Bindweed and Hedge Mustard! That’s a lot of variety!
If you already have the kit for growing plants, you can also purchase the seeds separately.
We can’t wait to harvest our first crop from our kit. We’ll also be giving these plants to our bearded dragons and skinks too as they will also love them. Seasoned with a sprinkling of Nutrobal it’s just about perfect food.
Let us know what your tortoises think of their new food!

Oil palms grow best in low-lying, warm and humid areas around the equator, exactly where tropical rainforests proliferate, as well as in the hot savannah areas of Central Africa and Latin America. The establishment of palm oil plantations has led to large-scale deforestation, especially in Indonesia and Malaysia.
What is the problem with palm oil?
Acres of trees are being cut down with all the consequences that this entails:
Local people and endangered animals lose their habitats
The destruction of forests and the draining of peatlands create highly inflammable areas. Indonesia is literally in flames every year as a result. The suffocating smoke causes serious health problems for hundreds of thousands of people.
Deforestation, which often goes hand in hand with fierce forest fires, releases a lot of CO2. This causes the earth's climate to change even faster.
The use of pesticides on plantations completely exhausts the soil and causes irreparable damage.
All our products are free of palm oil, we use divine oils 😏

Ggests the indirect result of Se, I and Si, on plant elemental standing. 3. Supplies and Procedures 3.1. Developing Problems and Experimental Protocol The experiment was conducted in 2020 and 2021 in the Federal Scientific Vegetable Center (Moscow area; fifty five 39 23 N, 37 12 43 E), in plastic pots employing chervil seeds of your genotype 210 sown on 6 June. The values of indicate temperature and relative humidity, and total photosynthetically lively radiation (PAR) during the vegetation time period were: in 2020, 21.0 C, 73.0 and 293 MJ m-2 in June, and 23.8 C, 74.9 and 244 MJ m-2 in July; in 2021, 17.2 C, 69 and 285 MJ m-2 in June, and twenty.1 C, 72.0 and 232 MJ m-2 in July. The photoperiod duration (day length) was 17.207.33 in June and 17.266.0 in July. Every single pot (10 L volume, 25 cm diameter, twenty cm height) contained a discipline clay-loam soil, with all the following qualities: pH 6.eight, two.one natural matter; 1.32 mg-eq 100 g-1 hydrolytic acidity; 18.five mg kg-1 mineral nitrogen; 21.three mg kg-1 ammonium nitrogen; 402 mg kg-1 mobile phosphorous; 198 mg kg-1 exchangeable potassium; sum of absorbed bases as much as 93.six ; cation exchange capability as much as 15 mg-eq a hundred g-1 soil; soil moisture area capacity as much as 25.2 . Each of the pots were placed outdoors underneath a plastic shelter guarding from rainwater. Every pot had a tray for collecting leaching water, which was recycled throughout the up coming irrigation. The experimental protocol integrated eight remedies: (one) manage (without the need of any supplementation); (two) foliar supplementation of Na2 SeO4 resolution (10 L-1 ); (three) foliar supplementation of KI (150 mg L-1 ); (four) foliar supplementation of nano-Si (14 mg L-1 ); (5) foliar supplementation of Na2 SeO4 and KI with all the above-indicated concentrations; (six) foliar supplementation of Na2 SeO4 nano-Si using the above-indicated concentrations; (7) supplementation of KI nano-Si with the above-indicated concentrations; and (8) foliar supplementation of Na2 SeO4 KI nano-Si together with the above-indicated concentrations. The volume of remedies per pot was 50 mL. A randomized complete block layout was used to the treatment distribution inside the discipline, with 3 replicates, and each and every therapy consisted of 4 pots. On six June, 30 chervil seeds have been sown in just about every pot, with a SBP-3264 Data Sheet density of 16 pots per m2 . The plants were watered 3 times per week to avoid any water stress during the total expanding time period.

The Port of Paranaguá ended March with the largest monthly movement ever recorded in the Export Corridor. 2.4 million tons of soybeans, in grain and bran, were shipped through the port of Paraná. The volume is 51% higher than the volume handled in the same month of 2019 and exceeds the previous record of 2.2 million tons, reached in June last year by more than 180 thousand tons.
According to Chief Executive Officer Ports of Paraná, Luiz Fernando Garcia, the positive result, even in the face of Covid-19’s adversities, shows the effectiveness of the security measures adopted since January by the public company. “Our concern for the health of port workers, truck drivers and crew is always first. We need to guarantee a safe environment so that they have confidence and maintain the services that are essential for the country ”.
According to him, the new record also proves the strength of agribusiness. “The harvest was very good and the exchange rate was favorable for exports. Ports around the world play an important role in food security and are part of a business chain that generates millions of jobs, in the field and in industry ”, he adds.
CORONAVÍRUS – The ports in Paraná were the first in Brazil to set up a complete structure for primary health care, on the quayside and in the truck sorting yard. Medical teams are open 24 hours a day, every day, with temperature measurements, guidelines and the proper referral of necessary cases.
The public company also purchased 20,000 liters of gel alcohol; 144 liters of antiseptic soap (used in hospital environments); 5,000 pairs of gloves; 10,000 extra units of surgical masks; 21 tents and elevated cabins; 200 linear meters of insulation grid, 32 showers, 60 sinks and foot washer with sodium hypochlorite.
SOYA – Soy exports were largely responsible for the historical performance. Nine private and two public terminals in the complex handled 2 million tons of grain and about 463.6 thousand tons of bran. The cargo filled, in the month, the holds of 40 ships.
The sector, which in the first two months of the year was apprehensive about the delay in planting, celebrates. According to Helder Catarino, representative of Interalli and one of the directors of the Association of Terminals of the Paranaguá Export Corridor (ATEXP), the lack of rain at the end of last year delayed the harvest for the end of February and the beginning of March.
“With the advance of the harvest in the last month, we had a more favorable scenario. Good offer, ports with static capacity, operational space to receive the strong harvest and a schedule of ships that ensured the exit and the turn of the goods ”, said Catarino.
In the first quarter, the Paranaguá Export Corridor handled 4.72 million tons of bulk. Of this total, 3.3 million soybeans, 1 million soybean meal and 297 thousand tons of corn. The volume handled in the first three months of 2020 is almost 12% higher than that registered in the same period of 2019.
Expectations and exports to remain high in the coming months
The CEO of the public company Portos do Paraná, Luiz Fernando Garcia, estimates that exports will continue to increase in the coming months. The port sector considers current projections of demand for food and the good pace of the Brazilian harvest. For the next few months, 6.43 million tons of soybeans, already sold, are expected.
“The State Government adopted very firm measures to combat the new coronavirus and made it clear that roads and railways, in addition to essential transport activities, such as restaurants, tire shops and mechanics, must remain open”, comments Garcia.
The movement of trucks for unloading bulk cargo at the Port of Paranaguá is above average. In March alone, 55,835 passed through the public company’s screening yard. The number exceeds the historic mark registered in 2019 by 5,000 vehicles, with 50,900 trucks received.
On the page of the Department of Highways (www.der.pr.gov.br), drivers find a list of commercial establishments in operation around the main highways in Paraná.

Overseeding and Aerating Your Lawn
What is Over-seeding?
Over-seeding is sowing seed into your existing lawn without having to re-seed the entire lawn, and is much less expensive. If you have proper drainage, but have thin or weak spots its time to take action. We recommend that your lawn is over-seeded every 3-5 years on average.
Core Aeration is the process of taking out deep plugs of soil using a machine called a “Core Aerator”. This gives the soil “room to breathe”. Soil can become hard and compacted over time which negatively affects how nutrients and water are absorbed by the grass roots.
Want to learn more about Aerating? Check out our “Aeration Article”
What Time of Year Should I Over-seed My Lawn?
For cool season grasses such as those in Anchorage, we recommend early to mid summer.
Why Over-seed After Aerating?
This is the perfect time! Plugs of dirt are left on top of your lawn immediately after your lawn is aerated. The holes from aerating are 4 to 5 inches deep & make for the perfect environment for new seed growth. In addition to the grass seed germinating in these holes, they will also germinate directly on the dirt cores, which then break down over the next week+. You should ultimately over seed within a day of aeration while the holes are open and before cores begin to break down.
How often do I water after Over-seeding?
Water thoroughly daily for 2 to 3 weeks until grass seedlings are at least 2 inches tall. Then every two days thereafter, if weather is dry.
Don’t Have the Time?
Alaska Premier Services would love to take this task off your hands, leaving you with a beautiful lush and much thicker lawn. Aeration is going on right now, so sign up today for our Aeration & Over-seeding bundle. During the month of August we offer a discount on our Aeration and Overseeding Service. We aerate in August due to cooler & wetter weather which helps the machine pull large “cores”. If overseeding, the cooler, wetter weather also improves the germination rates.
Call Alaska Premier Services at (907) 887-4545 or click the “Sign up Online” button below and we’ll add you to our schedule. We’d LOVE to make your lawn “the talk of your neighbors”!

Community Garden Draws People Together from Area Neighborhoods for Common Goal
Tribune assistant editor
The Lynden Tribune
April 8, 2009
LYNDEN — It is a garden for the community, by the community. And it is that way by design.
Sonlight Community Church has donated three-quarters of an acre along Aaron Drive for use by the local community as a plotted community garden.
Behind the initiative of church-goer and community activist Jeff Littlejohn, nearly 300 homes in the neighboring high-density community were invited to participate in the new garden.
The church is simply donating the space and letting the community take charge of planning it.
Littlejohn said it has been a true community effort.
Melissa Nienhuis, resident, said that she was “surprised to see a group who didn’t know each other agree on a plan (for the garden) and work together.” “I have never felt that sense of community,” she added.
Lisa Kusick said the initial meeting of interested residents was shockingly “inspiring.”
She said she got involved because she wanted to grow peas like her “granny” did. “It went from growing peas to growing a community,” she said.
Neighbors from Heartland, Parkview West Apartments, Lynden Manor, Lynden Manor Condominiums, Heritage Park and Fishtrap Landing were all invited to participate. All of those areas are high-density, providing residents little to no room for a garden of their own. The garden still has room for residences of those areas to join in.
Littlejohn said it simply worked out that the location of the garden is surrounded by high-density housing.
A dozen people on a steering committee are planning the rules and bylaws for the North City Community Garden, which is expected to have about 26 households participating. The first order of business was to determine the garden is going to be organic. Other decisions are on the way.
Nienhuis said that it is turning into a great family event, as kids are excited to participate in the learning process.
The garden itself will feature three different sizes of plots ranging from 4 feet square to 10 by 20 feet.
Plans include a communal plot for corn, shrubs, flowers and trees on the outside of the garden, a split-rail fence along Aaron Drive, the creation of a gathering area outside of the garden and the fixing-up of a nearby shed (which at one time was used as a residence for a farmhand) for use by the gardeners.
Discussions over creating raised beds, making it easier for older members to participate, are in the works.
“We want the old-timers to help,” Littlejohn said. “We have so much to learn,” Nienhuis added.
The garden will be planted when the weather allows. Littlejohn said he was able to get Whatcom County and the City of Lynden to work together — a feat in and of itself — to bring in river silt, which a local farmer spread. Edaleen Dairy offered free manure, which was tilled by Eldon Heutink. The most recent layer of compost is germinating, getting ready for planting with another mix of high-quality compost.
Nienhuis said she is looking forward to the opportunity to learn and share in the knowledge of gardening and the community it brings.
Kusick said she has already met neighbors she hadn’t known before. “That is the other part that is so much fun,” she said. “Strangers are coming together with this purpose in mind. That is a big part for me.”
There is hope that in the fall, the plot of ground can be used as a winter garden showcase and that the Lynden Boys & Girls Club, which meets at the church, can play a role in the gardening. Nienhuis thinks that enough food can be raised to donate to Lynden’s Project Hope.
Littlejohn praised the efforts of Third Christian Reformed Church in planting a community gardening seed across Lynden.
Last year, Third kicked off its own community garden (as chronicled in the Tribune) under the direction of Dave Timmer. Littlejohn said that that plan sparked the thoughts of starting one at Sonlight.
Alyce Werkema is also spearheading a similar effort at United Methodist Church of Lynden.
The WSU Whatcom County Master Gardeners will visit the North City Community Garden of Lynden at 10 a.m. on April 18 to help neighbors get ready to grow their own groceries. They will be teaching how to prepare soil, which vegetables are best for our region, how to build raised beds and other useful structures and how to site and design your garden. All are invited to this free event.
As part of Littlejohn’s Imagine Northwest community partnership organization located at Lynden’s New Hope Center, 205 South B.C. Ave., he has created a demonstration garden in the front of the building.
The small garden, which is simply layers of compost and straw on top of cardboard (to keep the weeds out), is designed to allow people to learn how to garden. The style Littlejohn uses enables layering, which replaces tilling.
It has also served as a teaching tool for the youth housed at New Way Ministries, as they helped with the initial planting recently.

Joostenberg Wines is run by the Myburgh famliy. The Myburghs farm in the southern regions of Paarl WO bordering Stellenbosch. All of the fruit for their wines either comes from the organically-certified Joostenberg property or from their neighbours’ farms. Tyrrel is the fifth generation of his family to farm the land.
The entire Joostenberg ethos is based around the farm: the land and the people who live and work on it. Sustainability is something that Tyrrel and his wife Anette mention often. They want to care for the land under their custodianship and endevour to create wines that reflect the uniqueness of the terroir. Consequently the team ripped out the irrigation of mature vineyard blocks and certified the vineyards as organic a few years ago.
The wines are classically made, with an emphasis on terroir-expression. Tyrrel tends to shy away from techniques that result in aggressive wines. They are quintessential in their styles, approachable and offer serious drinkers and novices alike impressive value for money.
They make 6 Estate wines – wines that are grown, made and bottled on the property.
Die Agteros comes from the oldest vineyard on the farm – Chenin Blanc planted in 1982. The name is derived from the Afrikaans saying “Die agteros kom ook in die kraal.” (Even the last ox eventually arrives). Bush vine, dry grown – salty and sweet fruit with texture and flavour for days.
The Fairhead is the most exotic of the Joostenberg Estate wines. Roussanne and Viognier originate from the Rhone Valley in France and absolutely thrive in the dry, Mediterranean climate of southern Paarl. They add peach and apricot characters to the lemon, hay and waxiness of the Chenin Blanc. Named after Gillian Fairhead, Tyrrel’s mother and boss-lady at Joostenberg for many years.
The warm Paarl climate seems ideal to grow quality Syrah. The vineyard used for this wine is the rockiest site on Joostenberg – thus the name: Klippe Kou means “Chewing Rocks”. This gives the wine a concentration of structure (tannin and acid), which matches the fruit weight provided by the Paarl sun. There is also a lovely, integrated spice element to the palate giving depth to the red berry and plum fruit.
Cabernet Sauvignon at its best is about structure – an abundance of fine-grained tannin, with black fruit and smokey tobacco notes balanced by well judged acid. This Cabernet (with a sneaky 8% Merlot) has all the component parts with a subtle minty edge. The Philip Albert is named after Philipus Albertus Myburgh, first of his name; the man who started Joostenberg six generations ago.
The top red wine made at Joostenberg, an uncompromising combination of the best red fruit from the farm. From the warm 2016 vintage it is mostly Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon with Mourvèdre and Touriga Nacional together making up around 25% of the blend. The name Bakermat, meaning “birth-place” or “cradle” in Dutch, pays homage to Joostenberg Farm.
There are different kinds of sweet wines – the Noble Late from Joostenberg is a classic botrytis style. Botrytis cinerea is a fungus that grows on the grape skins that dehydrates each berry while protecting it from oxygen (thus wines with fresh fruit flavours, and not Porty or oxydative nutty or toffee flavours). Botrytis is sort-after in many regions and is also known as “Noble Rot”. Apart from dessert and cheese, botrytis wines are magnificent with liver pâté as an aperitif. 375ml bottle.
The two non-Estate wines from Joostenberg are great options at a more affordable price. They are the virtually un-oaked Chenin Blanc and the red Family Blend. the Chenin is charming, super-fresh, medium weight, nice and punchy. The Family Blend is, as the name suggests, a blend based on Syrah and Cabernet – resulting in a juicy, spicy wine with plenty of fruit weight and struture.
The wines of Joostenberg are delicious, and the fruit grown with meticulous care. We feel they offer immense value.

Table of Contents
What’s in Season in June?
- Berries and stone fruits: Stock up on strawberries, cherries, apricots, mangoes, nectarines, peaches, and plums to use fresh now, then freeze them for later. June is when stone fruits and berries are just beginning to get their most candy-like and naturally sweet. Once you’ve brought your stone fruit and berry bounty into your kitchen, showcase them alongside Fruit Dip, in pies, cobblers, compotes, and crisps, as part of shortcakes, salad, or washed and eaten in their unadorned glory.
- Melons and mulberry family fruits: True, figs are rarely grown in the midwest (most domestic varieties thrive in California). But you can definitely ship some fresh figs, which are part of the mulberry family, in for a delightful seasonal fruit to feature as part of tarts, quick breads, salads, roasted side dishes, or grilled and topped with a scoop of ice cream. We’re also tip-toeing into the time of year when cantaloupe and watermelon are at their juiciest, sweetest, and best. I can’t get enough of melon salads and smoothies in June, and neither can my kids.
- Legumes and daisy family vegetables: Fun fact: Asparagus and lettuce are both a perennial flowers, and as such, are classified as members of the daisy family. The high water content and crisp texture makes both of these daisies utterly delicious in salads on the hottest days of summer. Spring peas and green beans are technically considered legumes; try these in salads, too, toss them into soups, then save enough to blanch and freeze for later.
- Cucurbits: Cucumber and summer squash fall under the umbrella of “cucurbit” crops. (Melons do as well, by the way, but since we use those in such different ways culinarily, I feature them separately here.) Supremely hydrating and dreamy in salads, side dishes, or spiralized into noodles, cucumbers, zucchini, and other summer squash are a steal at the market right now.
- Grasses and nightshade vegetables: An old midwestern idiom about corn is “knee-high by the 4th of July.” But that doesn’t mean we have to wait several more months after that. The harvest season for corn, which is actually a type of grass, is just beginning now. It’s right in the middle of the best moment for nightshades, including bell peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes. For grilling, blending into dips and sauces, incorporating into salads and sandwiches, and beyond, nightshades are the most adaptable of all seasonal vegetables.
