Another Case for Organic: The Sweet Potato Project
So it certainly is not new news that conventional produce (unlike organic produce) is generally subject to chemical exposure and genetic modification. Nonetheless, this girl's science project brings an astonishing visual demonstration to the effects of using chemicals on produce. In her particular project, she compares sprouting between a conventional potato, an organically labeled potato, and an organic potato from a certified organic market. The project raises the question of what health effects (if any) chlorpropham can have on those who consume conventional potatoes and other produce that contain the chemical. The project also raises the question of why is there a difference in sprouting between organically-labeled produce and produce from a certified organic market. If you haven't seen this video yet, I encourage you to do so.

Mosaic hops are a new variety that should become available to home and commercial brewers with the 2012 harvest. However, there is likely to be a limited supply for the foreseeable future. As interest grows in this and other new varieties, there can be a relatively rapid increase in the supply of Mosaic hops within a year or two depending upon available rhizomes and acreage for cultivation. The best way to ensure more becomes available is for brewers to make direct requests to suppliers, processors, and growers.

Down Easy’s Flavor Evaluation
I have found, and ordered 4 ounces of this hop. It will be one of the very first I review with the new evaluation method I have developed. I chose this hop because it will be exceedingly rare for the next harvest or two. The evaluation method is being introduced in a book that should be out around Christmas, 2012. I’ll post my evaluation after the book release.

It is best to dig up your potatoes by the end of August to avoid losing them to a hard frost. Surplus new potatoes should be stored buried in a tin of slightly damp sand; they should last until Christmas. Alternatively, dig up your potatoes and let them dry before putting into a hessian sack and storing in a dark, cool place until needed. You can accomplish this by double digging their space or growing them in a raised bed (carrots are great for container gardening). If your soil feels heavy and as though it would be hard for the carrots to develop in it then be sure to add a good amount of compost. Carrots .

It rained all day. There is slight chance of snow for tonight. Between the two there was a break as the temperature began to drop. It doesn't take temperatures very high above freezing to get the bulbs going at this time of year. The earliest yellow crocus are about to pop.
After a very long nap, I decided I better seize this break in the weathers to sow poppy seeds even if it was rather late in the day. Poppies need the cold to get started and need to be sown very early in the year. A nice covering of snow would be good for them.
There was more involved in this process than just tossing out seeds though.
My chosen spot for them is the wildflower strip between the roadside vegetable garden and the scenic byway. The seeds need to be in contact with bare dirt. I had to cut down and rake away last year's Lush to get to bare ground.
I had already decided to exert a little more control over what grows in this strip of wildflowers. It was becoming a rather dull monoculture. I want more enthusiasm. Late last fall I began yanking out goldenrod by the roots. That process will need to continue to thin it even further. The fescue grass and clematis virginiana were on the hit list today.
I got to bare dirt and sowed my seeds. Now it can snow. If it doesn't snow tonight that will be fine. More big rain is in the diagnosis for Sunday. That will get the seeds settled into the soil. Now let there be poppies with the other wild things.
I'll need to clean up the roadside chicory bed soon to get it ready for spring. I may get to that on Sunday before the rains return.
If I have to be a roadside attraction, I can make an effort to be a good one.

Here at Great Grass we understand that installation can be quite tricky, so we are going to give you a brief description on how to install your artificial grass the easiest way possible. There are 2 types of installations; installation on hard and solid ground or replacing your old artificial grass. We have worked out the best way to install your grass and its right her for you!
Hard and solid ground:
- Make sure that the surface you are covering is clean and smooth. You can apply a self-levelling compound, this compound will remove surface imperfections, which is a particularly good idea if the grass you are laying is very low/short.
- Unroll or Lay the grass onto the now clean and level area you are covering. Makes sure you allow around 50mm of grass on each side. This is because you will need to trim off the excess to ensure a perfect edge. Leave the grass for two-to-three hours to settle, this will stop it wrinkling or creasing.
- Cut and trim your artificial grass, by using a sharp Stanley knife to ensure that you cut the grass straight.
- To make the joins, use grade A outdoor tape and glue and following the instructions on the product. If you have a wooden surface, such as decking or suspended floor boards, you can use them both, in a combination of adhesive and carpet, then use tacking hooks to fix the grass down.
Existing lawn replacement:
- Work out the height that you want your grass layer to be. Then work out the height of the materials you will be installing. Make sure you include layers of geotextile weed barrier, sub-base to prevent unwanted weeds growing through your lawn.
- Take up the grass, either by hand for small areas and comers or use a turf cutter for a large area. Also, take out some subsoil depending upon the height of your top soil, but never build your base on topsoil.
- Compact/flatten the ground using a vibrating plate or roller (n.b. you can hire these at a good equipment hire centre)
- Spray weed killer then put down a geo-textile weed barrier on to the area.
- Ensure the grass is not higher than the final grass line so that you don’t hinder the water run-off, and could cause large unsightly (and sometimes damaging) puddles forming when it rains
- Using either a layer of a finer stone of between 6mm and 14mm of coarse sand, Compact with the vibrating plate or roller and top up as you need to, to achieve your desired level.
- Lay or unroll the grass on top of the sand rather than dragging it.
- (Repeat steps 2-4 from instructions above.)
- If you are using edgings, put natural stone paving or logs against them. If you are not using edgings, hammer in some landscaping nails every 50mm approximately.

Rural Self-help Development Association (RSDA) has been registered as a non-government organisation (NGO) in Lesotho since 1991. RSDA works with local small-scale farmers, the government, and other NGOs to eradicate hunger and improve the livelihoods for the Basotho people in the rural communities. The goal seeks to be accomplished by facilitating help to self-help, and by making the rural population able to implement sustainable farming by providing technical guidance among other things. RSDA implements projects for several donors and partners such as Action Aid, SIDA (The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency), The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) under UN, USAID (The United States Agency for International Development) and Denmark Lesotho Network.
The project group within DLN
The project group consists of the following DLN members: Anders Hedegaard, Signe Hedegaard, Maria Clausen, Nis Kloppenborg Skau, Max Schröder, Anne-Marie Erikstrup, and Line Kaspersen. The members of the group communicate via e-mail, Skype meetings, and face-to-face meetings. The contact to RSDA is maintained by the exchange of e-mails, via conference calls, through quarterly reports, and monitoring visits to Lesotho.
DLN and RSDA’s cooperation
The contact between DLN and RSDA originally came about, when Anders Hedegaard and former member of the project group Karen Steffensen both worked in Lesotho.
DLN and RSDA’s projects have been and still are geographically centred within two of the most drought-affected districts in Lesotho: Mafeteng and Mohales Hoek.
DLN and RSDA began their formal partnership back in 2005, where a grant was approved by Civil Society in Development (CISU – through which it is possible to seek funding for projects by Danish associations in collaboration with local partners in developing countries).
The grant was for DKK 961,682, and the project ran for two years from 2005-2007. The project was entitled “Building capacity of small scale farmers through water harvesting and vegetable production”. As a result of the project 116 water harvesting tanks were built in Mafeteng and Mohales Hoek, and the first steps of introducing the farmers to lobbying and advocacy were taken. Both DLN and RSDA viewed the project as highly successful, and both partners were interested in continuing with the collaboration.
The second joint project took place in 2011-2013 and was entitled “Strengthening small scale farmer producer groups in Lesotho” with a budget of DKK 1.769.214. The purpose of the project was in part to strengthen the capacity within RSDA, and in part to focus directly on strengthening the capacity of 40 farmer groups in the two aforementioned districts in Lesotho. The aim was to strengthen both the internal organisation of the farmer groups as well as their ability to cooperate and network with local and national decision makers. The 40 farmer groups had established 3 umbrella-organisations, which also needed strengthening and training in advocacy and other methods with the purpose of building their capacity and thereby making them capable of affecting the farmers circumstances of life more effectively. Finally, work was done for the training of trainers to ensure sustainability and the sharing of knowledge and experience among the farmer groups. As a direct result of the project two of the umbrella-organisations have been successful in obtaining financial funding, and a training centre was built in Phamong, where the local umbrella-organisation holds meetings, seeds are sold, and there is a surrounding garden, which can be used for demonstrating agricultural techniques.
DLN and RSDA wish to continue their partnership of capacity building farmer groups in Lesotho. The joint mission continues to be to support farmer groups in Lesotho in their efforts to affect their own circumstances of life. The vision is to create farmer organisations across Lesotho that are capable of exerting their influence on local and national decision makers like it has been the case for Danish (powerful) farmer organisations.
Therefore both DLN and RSDA hope that it will be possible to continue the collaboration for the period of 2015-2017/18 with a third project: “Strengthening the organizational capacity of farmer associations emphasizing the skills within lobby and advocacy”. But DLN and RSDA agree on the fact that such an ambitious vision demands perseverance, stability, and capacity, in order for the third project to become a success. It was therefore decided that it would be necessary to strengthen the cooperation prior to a third project through a so called Partnership activity, with the purpose of strengthening RSDA’s capacity to support the farmer groups and their umbrella-organisations. An application was made for a Partnership activity and applied for at CISU. A grant of DKK 498,000 was approved, and the project will be running from January 1st till December 31st 2014. Within this time frame RSDA’s strategy for cooperating with the farmer groups will be analysed and adapted to suit the current needs of the farmer groups.

An estimated 30,000 coffee growers are on strike in Colombia to demand increased government support for the struggling crop. There have been reports of clashes with police and use of tear gas to subdue the protesters.
The government announced Wednesday that it will negotiate with farmers only if they first stop blocking roads in protest. President Juan Manuel Santos initially called the strike «inconvenient, unnecessary [and] unfair» in a televised speech defending government support for the coffee industry. But farmers say the government’s subsidies are not enough to compensate for falling prices and this year’s poor harvest.
Last year saw the lowest coffee crop in decades. The country has grown to rely on foreign imports to meet demand at home.

Benefits of Fall Gardening
Fall gardening brings a multitude of advantages for both the plants and the gardener. Let’s explore some of the key benefits:
- Extended Growing Season: Fall gardening allows you to continue growing and harvesting fresh produce even after the summer has ended. By taking advantage of the cooler temperatures and milder weather, you can enjoy an extended growing season and increase your food production.
- Cooler Weather: Many plants tend to thrive in cooler temperatures, as it reduces stress and slows down certain pests and diseases. Fall gardening provides the ideal conditions for growing a variety of vegetables, flowers, and herbs that may struggle in the heat of summer.
- Less Watering: During the fall, the frequency of rainfall usually increases, reducing the need for excessive watering. This not only saves time and effort but also promotes healthier root development by allowing plants to absorb water naturally rather than relying solely on irrigation.
- Reduced Pest Pressure: Insects and pests tend to become less active during the fall, which means you’ll encounter fewer problems with pests damaging your crops. This allows you to focus more on plant growth and less on pest control.
- Less Weeds: With the cooler temperatures and a decrease in weed growth, fall gardening presents an opportunity to have a cleaner and more organized garden. You’ll spend less time battling pesky weeds and more time tending to your desired plants.
- Beautiful Fall Colors: Fall gardens are a delight to the eye with their vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold. By selecting the right flowers and foliage, you can create a visually stunning garden that adds warmth and beauty to your outdoor space.
- Nutrient-rich Soil: Fall gardening gives you the chance to replenish and improve the soil. By planting cover crops or incorporating organic matter, you can enhance the soil’s fertility and structure, ensuring healthy and robust plant growth in future seasons.
Overall, fall gardening offers a unique opportunity to continue gardening and reap numerous benefits. From an extended growing season to reduced pest pressure and beautiful autumn colors, there are plenty of reasons to embrace fall gardening and make the most of the cooler months.
Selecting the Right Plants for Fall
Choosing the right plants for your fall garden is crucial to ensure a successful and productive growing season. Here are some factors to consider when selecting plants for fall:
- Cool Season Varieties: Look for plants that are specifically suited for cooler temperatures. These varieties have adapted to thrive in the fall weather and will perform better than their warm-season counterparts.
- Frost Tolerance: Check the frost tolerance of the plants you’re considering. Some plants can withstand light frost, while others are more sensitive. Knowing the frost tolerance of your chosen plants will help you plan accordingly and protect them when necessary.
- Days to Maturity: Consider the days to maturity for vegetables that you want to harvest before the first frost. Planting varieties with shorter maturity times will give you ample time to enjoy their harvest before colder temperatures arrive.
- Succession Planting: Opt for plants that have a quick turnover rate if you wish to maximize your garden’s productivity. Succession planting involves sowing seeds or transplanting seedlings at intervals to ensure a continuous harvest throughout the fall.
- Planting Zones: Take into account your specific planting zone and choose plants that are recommended for your region. Different plants have different temperature tolerances, and selecting ones suitable for your zone increases their chances of thriving.
- Complementary Pairings: Consider how different plants can complement each other in terms of growth habits, aesthetics, or pest control. Companion planting can enhance your garden’s overall health and productivity while creating an appealing visual display.
- Personal Preferences: Lastly, don’t forget to choose plants that you enjoy growing and consuming. Whether it’s your favorite vegetables or flowers with a specific color palette, prioritize your personal preferences to make your fall garden a space that brings you joy.
Some popular choices for fall vegetables include kale, broccoli, carrots, radishes, and spinach. For flowers, marigolds, pansies, and chrysanthemums are popular fall bloomers. Don’t forget to include fall herbs like sage, thyme, and parsley that can add flavor to your culinary creations.
By carefully selecting the right plants for your fall garden, you’ll set yourself up for a successful growing season and be rewarded with a bountiful harvest and a visually pleasing garden.
Preparation and Soil Conditioning
Preparing your garden and conditioning the soil is essential for creating a fertile and nutrient-rich environment that will support the growth of your fall plants. Here are some key steps to take:
- Clean Up: Start by removing any debris, weeds, or spent plants from your garden bed. Clearing away old vegetation helps prevent the buildup of pests and diseases and ensures a fresh start for your fall garden.
- Soil Testing: Conduct a soil test to determine its pH level and nutrient content. This information will guide you in making necessary amendments to optimize the soil conditions for your plants. Make sure to follow the recommendations provided by the soil test results.
- Amendments: Add organic matter such as compost, well-rotted manure, or leaf mold to improve the soil structure and nutrient content. Organic matter enhances drainage and aeration while providing a steady supply of nutrients to the plants. Spread a layer of compost or other amendments over the top of the soil and work it in with a garden fork or tiller.
- Fertilization: If your soil test indicates nutrient deficiencies, consider applying a balanced organic fertilizer based on the recommended application rates. This will provide the necessary nutrients for strong plant growth during the fall season.
- Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as straw or shredded leaves, around your plants. Mulching helps to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, regulate soil temperature, and gradually break down to add organic matter to the soil.
- Irrigation: Ensure that your garden bed has proper irrigation or watering systems in place. While fall often brings more rainfall, it’s important to monitor the soil moisture levels and supplement with watering when necessary, especially during dry spells.
- Bed Preparation: Before planting, loosen the soil and remove any large clumps or rocks. Use a garden fork or tiller to break up compacted soil, improving its structure and drainage. This will create an ideal growing environment for your fall plants.
By thoroughly preparing and conditioning your soil, you provide a solid foundation for healthy plant growth. The enhanced soil fertility and structure will support your fall garden’s overall health and productivity, ensuring the best possible results.
Top Vegetables to Plant in the Fall Garden
Fall is a fantastic time to grow a variety of vegetables that thrive in cooler temperatures. These vegetables not only tolerate the chilly weather but often taste even better after a light frost. Here are some of the top vegetables to consider planting in your fall garden:
- Leafy Greens: Greens like kale, spinach, lettuce, and Swiss chard are ideal for fall planting. They grow well in cooler temperatures and can withstand light frost. These nutritious greens can be harvested as baby leaves for salads or allowed to mature for heartier meals.
- Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage are excellent choices for the fall garden. These vegetables prefer cooler weather and will appreciate the milder conditions of autumn. Be sure to provide enough space for these plants to reach their full size and harvest them before the deep freeze sets in.
- Root Vegetables: Carrots, beets, turnips, radishes, and parsnips are perfect for fall planting. The cooler temperatures enhance the flavor and sweetness of these root vegetables. Plant them early enough in the season to allow adequate time for maturity before the ground freezes.
- Alliums: Fall is an opportune time to plant onions, garlic, and shallots. These pungent alliums require a long growth period, and fall planting allows them to establish roots before winter. Harvest them next summer when the foliage starts to yellow and topple over.
- Herbs: Fall is an excellent time to grow herbs like parsley, cilantro, chives, and dill. These flavorful herbs flourish in the cooler temperatures and can enhance a variety of fall dishes. Snip their leaves as needed to enjoy their fresh flavors in your culinary creations.
- Radicchio and Endive: These bitter greens are perfect additions to fall salads and stir-fries. They develop a robust flavor and vibrant color when exposed to cooler temperatures. Start the seeds indoors and transplant them into your garden for best results.
- Peas: Peas love the cool weather of fall. Snap peas, snow peas, and shelling peas can all be planted for a delightful harvest. Provide them with a trellis or support for climbing and enjoy the crisp, sweet pods before the first frost arrives.
- Beets: Beets are versatile and nutritious root vegetables that thrive in the fall. Plant them for their sweet roots and tender greens. Harvest the beets when they reach the desired size and use the nutritious greens in salads or sautés.
These are just a few examples of the many vegetables you can plant in your fall garden. Remember to check the specific planting guidelines for your region and choose varieties that are well-suited to your climate. With the right selection of vegetables, you can enjoy a bountiful fall harvest of fresh and flavorful produce.

Fall Herbs to Grow in your Garden
When it comes to fall gardening, don’t forget about the delightful addition of herbs. Fall is the perfect time to cultivate a variety of herbs that thrive in cooler temperatures and add delightful flavors to your culinary creations. Here are some fall herbs to consider growing in your garden:
- Sage: Sage is a flavorful herb with velvety gray-green leaves. It thrives in cooler temperatures and is a great addition to savory dishes. Its earthy and slightly peppery flavor pairs well with roasted meats, stews, and stuffings.
- Thyme: Thyme is a low-growing herb with small, aromatic leaves. It is a hardy perennial that can withstand cooler temperatures and is a staple in many dishes. Its subtle, earthy flavor enhances meats, soups, stews, and roasted vegetables.
- Parsley: Parsley is a versatile herb that adds freshness to a variety of dishes. It is a biennial plant that thrives in cooler weather, producing vibrant green leaves that have a mild, slightly peppery taste. Use it as a garnish, or add it to salads, soups, and sauces.
- Chives: Chives are a member of the onion family and grow well in cooler temperatures. They produce thin, hollow leaves with a mild onion flavor. Chives are excellent for adding a subtle onion taste to salads, omelets, and creamy dips.
- Cilantro: Cilantro is a popular herb used in various cuisines, with its distinct fresh and citrusy flavor. It grows best in cooler weather, as it tends to bolt in hot temperatures. Use cilantro leaves in salsas, soups, salads, and many other dishes.
- Oregano: Oregano is a perennial herb that is known for its robust and aromatic flavor. It grows well in cooler temperatures and is a key ingredient in Mediterranean and Italian dishes. Use it in tomato sauces, pizzas, marinades, and roasted vegetables.
- Parsnip: Parsnip is a root vegetable that develops a sweet and earthy flavor when exposed to cool temperatures. Its foliage is similar to parsley and can be used as an herb in cooking. Roast or mash parsnips for a delicious side dish during the fall season.
- Rosemary: Rosemary is a woody herb with aromatic needle-like leaves. While it is evergreen in many regions, it thrives in cooler temperatures. Its distinctive pine-like flavor enhances roasted meats, potatoes, bread, and marinades.
These fall herbs can be planted in garden beds or containers, providing you with fresh flavors and fragrances throughout the autumn season. Harvest the herbs as needed, but be sure to leave enough leaves on the plant to sustain growth. With these herbs in your fall garden, you’ll have a wealth of aromatic and flavorful ingredients to enhance your culinary endeavors.
Caring for Your Fall Garden
Proper care and maintenance are crucial for ensuring the success of your fall garden. Though the days may be shorter and the temperatures cooler, your plants still require attention and care. Here are some essential tips for caring for your fall garden:
- Watering: Even though the cooler weather may bring more rainfall, it’s important to monitor the moisture levels in your garden. Check the soil regularly and water your plants when needed. Be mindful not to overwater, as excessively wet soil can lead to root rot.
- Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around your plants to conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth. Mulching also helps to protect the roots of the plants as temperatures start to dip.
- Weeding: Keep up with regular weeding to prevent competition for nutrients and space. Remove any weeds that emerge promptly to give your plants the best chance at growth and vigor.
- Fertilizing: If your plants show signs of nutrient deficiency, consider fertilizing them with a balanced organic fertilizer. However, be mindful of the specific nutrient requirements for each plant type and follow the recommended application rates to avoid over-fertilization.
- Pruning: Prune your plants as needed to maintain their shape and encourage healthy growth. Remove any dead or diseased foliage promptly to prevent the spread of diseases. Pruning also helps improve airflow and light penetration, reducing the risk of fungal infections.
- Pest Control: While fall typically sees a decrease in pest activity, it’s important to remain vigilant. Inspect your plants regularly for any signs of pests and take appropriate action. Use natural pest control methods whenever possible to avoid harmful chemicals in your garden.
- Supporting Plants: As your plants grow, provide appropriate support to prevent them from being damaged by strong winds or heavy rains. Use stakes, cages, or trellises to support taller plants and secure them to prevent breakage.
- Harvesting: Regularly check for ripe produce in your garden and harvest them at the peak of maturity. Leaving overripe fruits or vegetables in the garden can attract pests and diseases. Harvesting also encourages the plants to continue producing throughout the season.
- Observation: Take the time to observe your plants and garden regularly. Note any changes in growth, color, or appearance, as they may indicate underlying issues. Early identification and intervention can help prevent further problems and ensure the well-being of your plants.
By providing proper care and attention, your fall garden will thrive, producing beautiful blooms, abundant harvests, and a landscape that brings joy and satisfaction. Stay proactive, be attentive to your plants’ needs, and enjoy the rewards of a well-tended fall garden.
Protecting Your Plants from Frost
As fall progresses, the risk of frost increases, which can pose a threat to your delicate plants. Frost can damage or even kill plants that are not adequately protected. Here are some tips to help you safeguard your garden from frost:
- Monitor Weather Forecasts: Stay informed about upcoming weather conditions, particularly overnight temperatures, which are often cooler and more prone to frost. Be prepared to take action if frost is expected.
- Covering: Use protective coverings, such as lightweight blankets, cloths, sheets, or frost blankets, to cover your vulnerable plants overnight. Avoid using plastic alone, as it can cause condensation and damage the plants. Secure the coverings loosely to allow for airflow and prevent crushing the foliage.
- Timing: Cover your plants in the late afternoon or early evening before temperatures drop. This helps trap some of the heat absorbed during the day and provides insulation throughout the night. Remove the coverings in the morning once temperatures rise and the risk of frost has passed.
- Watering: Water the soil around your plants thoroughly before a frost event. Moist soil has better heat retention properties than dry soil, providing a buffering effect against freezing temperatures. However, be cautious not to water excessively, as this can lead to root rot.
- Grouping Plants: Consider grouping potted plants close together. This allows them to create a microclimate that retains heat and provides some protection from frost. The collective heat generated by the close proximity can help raise the temperature slightly.
- Use Mulch: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to insulate the roots and minimize temperature fluctuations. Mulch helps maintain soil warmth and protects the root zone from freezing temperatures.
- Cold Frames or Tunnels: For more advanced protection, you can use cold frames or tunnels. These structures provide a sheltered environment for your plants, shielding them from frost and providing additional insulation. Cold frames are typically transparent and placed directly over the plants, while tunnels are arched structures covered with a protective material.
- Bring Potted Plants Indoors: If you have potted plants that are susceptible to frost damage, consider bringing them indoors temporarily or placing them in a sheltered area, such as a garage or covered porch, until the frost threat passes.
- Choose Frost-Tolerant Plants: When planning your fall garden, select plants that are more resistant to frost. Some plants, like kale, cabbage, and ornamental grasses, are more tolerant of colder temperatures and can withstand light frost without significant damage.
Remember that frost protection measures are temporary solutions to help your plants survive a frost event. While some plants may bounce back from light frost damage, others may need extra care and attention to recover. By taking the necessary precautions, you can minimize the risk of frost damage and extend the growing season for your fall garden.

Harvesting and Enjoying Fall Produce
One of the most rewarding aspects of fall gardening is the opportunity to savor the bountiful harvest of fresh and flavorful produce. As your plants reach maturity, here are some tips for harvesting and enjoying the fruits of your fall garden:
- Timing: Harvest your vegetables and herbs at the right time to ensure peak flavor and quality. Refer to seed packets or plant labels for guidance on when to harvest each crop. Some vegetables, like leafy greens, can be harvested continuously as needed, while others have specific maturity indicators.
- Proper Technique: Use proper harvesting techniques to avoid damaging your plants. For vegetables like lettuce, kale, and herbs, use clean scissors or pruners to cut the leaves just above the soil level. For root vegetables, gently loosen the soil and carefully lift them out to avoid breakage.
- Storing Produce: Properly store your harvested produce to maintain freshness and quality. Leafy greens can be washed, dried, and stored in the refrigerator in airtight bags or containers. Root vegetables should be cleaned of excess soil and stored in a cool, dark place with good airflow.
- Preserving: Explore different preservation methods, such as canning, pickling, or freezing, to prolong the shelf life of your fall produce. Leafy greens, herbs, and certain vegetables can be blanched and frozen for later use. Properly canned or pickled vegetables can be enjoyed well into the winter months.
- Cooking and Recipes: Embrace the flavors of fall by incorporating your harvested produce into delicious recipes. Roast root vegetables with herbs and olive oil, sauté leafy greens with garlic, or create comforting soups and stews using your homegrown ingredients. Experiment with different flavors and cooking techniques to savor the essence of your fall garden.
- Sharing and Preserving Seeds: Save seeds from your favorite varieties to replant in future seasons. Properly dry and store the seeds in a cool, dry place. Consider sharing excess seeds with friends or participating in seed exchanges to promote biodiversity and foster community engagement.
- Enjoying the Beauty: Appreciate the beauty of your fall garden beyond its edible offerings. Harvest flowers and foliage to create stunning floral arrangements, wreaths, or table centerpieces. Embrace the vibrant colors and textures that autumn brings, bringing the essence of your garden indoors.
- Reflecting and Planning: Take time to reflect on the joys and accomplishments of your fall garden. Assess what worked well and what you may want to improve for future seasons. Use this knowledge to plan and prepare for the next growing year, including selecting new varieties to try and implementing lessons learned.
Remember, the true joy of fall gardening lies not just in the harvest, but also in the process of nurturing, savoring, and appreciating the fruits of your labor. Take pride in the bounty of your fall garden and embrace the flavors and beauty it offers.
Gardening in the fall is a rewarding and fulfilling experience, allowing you to extend the growing season and enjoy the beauty of nature’s palette as the leaves change color.

The original two rows are starting to show their age and some insect damage, but I planted more of them in the kitchen garden with the squash and those are just starting to produce.
The cucumbers have blessed me with with the first time in my life that I can eat as many cucumbers as I want. I eat them every day and I ponder the notion of making pickles of some sort. But we've had some terribly hot weather and I can't bring myself to sterilize the jars and do the pickling.
So I'm eating them instead. I grew Straight 8s and they've been good keepers. They stay crisp no matter how large they grow and the flesh is firm and slightly sweet.
fresh tomatoes and okra and...squash.

I hope you sent a reporter to the Food and Agriculture Board meeting tonight. The courthouse was overflowing with citizens who oppose GMO sugar beets being grown on our open spaces. In fact, there were over 100 people signed up to speak. I do not wish to get into the issue of the dangers of GMOs as this subject has already been well covered. It seems to me that an equally important issue is the fact that this is public land paid for with our tax dollars. Why then are farmers that use this land not required to grow crops that nourish us in some way and not just pad their pocketbooks? Sugar beets are not the red beets that your grandmother canned. They are specifically grown to supply white, processed sugar to large corporations like Mars Candy. They happen to grow very well in our climate and are known as “white gold” as they have been more profitable than the gold rush for our area. However, with the cost of fuel and food on the rise again, why are we using our open spaces to grow something that we can’t even eat? For those of you that are also alarmed by this, please be sure to let your county commissioners know how you feel. They will put this to a final vote on August 25th.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Stardew Valley, where you can grow crops, raise animals, and make delicious wine. If you’re looking to improve the quality of your wines, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll share expert tips and strategies to help you enhance the quality of your wines in the game.
Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned player, there are plenty of ways to improve your winemaking skills. From selecting the best crops to upgrading your tools, there are several factors that can affect the quality of your wine. So, let’s get started and find out how to increase wine quality in Stardew Valley.
- Enhancing wine quality in Stardew Valley is possible with the right tips and strategies.
- Factors such as crop selection, equipment upgrades, and proper aging can all impact wine quality.
- Experimenting with different wine recipes and selling high-quality wines can lead to higher profits and better relationships with villagers.
Understanding the Basics of Winemaking
To produce high-quality wine in Stardew Valley, you must understand the basic mechanics of winemaking. The first and most crucial aspect is the quality of the crops you use to make your wine.
The better the quality of the crops, the higher the quality of the wine produced. Therefore, you should prioritize growing high-quality crops in your farm.
You can achieve this by planting the seeds in fertilized soil, applying fertilizer at the right time, and using sprinklers to ensure consistent watering.
The quality of the wine is not solely determined by the crops, however. It’s also influenced by the type of fruit used. Different fruits provide varying effects on wine quality, so it’s worth experimenting with different combinations to find the best formula.
Another factor that affects wine quality is the season when the crops were harvested. Some fruits are only available in certain seasons, so it’s essential to plan your crops accordingly.
Once you have harvested your crops, you can use a wine press to produce wine. The wine produced is of the same quality as the crops used, so ensure you use only the best ones.
To summarize, to produce high-quality wine in Stardew Valley, you must prioritize the quality of your crops, use the best fruit combinations, and harvest the crops at the right time. By following these basic tips, you’ll be well on your way to making exceptional wine in the game.
Choosing the Right Crops for Winemaking
Selecting the right crops is crucial to producing high-quality wines in Stardew Valley. Not all crops are created equal, and some have a higher potential for producing better wine quality than others.
To maximize wine quality, prioritize crops such as ancient fruit, starfruit, and cranberries. These crops have a higher chance of producing gold-star quality items, which can be used for winemaking.
To obtain these crops, invest in quality seeds and fertilizer. Use the best fertilizer available, such as deluxe speed-gro or quality fertilizer, to maximize crop quality.
Note that some crops take longer to grow than others, so plan accordingly. Ancient fruit, for example, takes a full season to grow, but it’s well worth the wait.
By selecting the right crops and using the best farming techniques, you can produce high-quality wines that will impress any villager in Stardew Valley.
Upgrading Your Wine Tools and Equipment
To produce the best quality wine, it’s essential to upgrade your tools and equipment. Upgraded tools can improve the efficiency of the wine production process, and better equipment can enhance the quality of the wine.
The first tool to upgrade is the Wine Barrel. Upgrading the barrel will increase the wine’s quality by one level, up to a maximum of iridium quality. The higher the quality of the barrel, the less time it takes to age the wine.
|Wood (100), Iron Bar (1)
|Wood (100), Gold Bar (1)
|Wood (100), Iridium Bar (1)
Another important tool to upgrade is the Preserves Jar. Upgrading it will increase the wine’s value by 50%. The higher the quality of the jar, the less time it takes to process the wine.
|Wood (50), Stone (40), Copper Bar (1)
|Wood (50), Stone (40), Iron Bar (1)
|Wood (50), Stone (40), Gold Bar (1)
|Wood (50), Stone (40), Iridium Bar (1)
The last tool to upgrade is the Keg. Upgrading it will increase the wine’s value by 3 times. The higher the quality of the keg, the less time it takes to process the wine.
|Wood (30), Copper Bar (1)
|Wood (30), Iron Bar (1)
|Wood (30), Oak Resin (1)
|Wood (30), Iron Bar (1), Oak Resin (1)
|Wood (30), Gold Bar (1), Oak Resin (1)
|Wood (30), Iridium Bar (1), Oak Resin (1)
Upgrading your tools and equipment requires time and resources, but the benefits of producing higher-quality wine are worth it. Investing in upgrades will pay off in the long run, making your winemaking business more profitable and rewarding.
Understanding Aging and Maturation
When it comes to winemaking in Stardew Valley, aging and maturation are key components to ensuring the highest quality wines. Aging refers to the process of letting the wine sit in a cask for a certain amount of time, while maturation refers to the changes that occur to the wine during that time. The longer the wine ages, the more complex and flavorful it becomes.
To age your wine properly, you will need to purchase a cask from the carpenter’s shop. Once you have a cask, you can fill it with wine and let it age for a designated amount of days. The quality of the wine will improve with each passing day, up to a maximum of two and a half years.
It’s important to keep in mind that different wines have different optimal aging times. For example, a pale ale may only need a few days to age, while a starfruit wine may benefit from aging for several months. Pay attention to the recommended aging times for each type of wine to achieve the best results.
It’s also vital to store your aging wine in an appropriate location. Casks should be placed in a cool, dark room, such as a cellar or basement. This will help maintain a consistent temperature and protect the wine from exposure to light and heat.
Using Quality Fertilizers and Sprinklers
To maximize the quality of your wines in Stardew Valley, it’s important to ensure that your crops are growing at their best. Using quality fertilizers and sprinklers can help you achieve just that.
There are several types of fertilizers available in the game, each with its own benefits. Basic fertilizer is the most common and can be crafted easily using sap. Quality and deluxe fertilizers are more potent and require better ingredients to make, but they can significantly boost the quality of your crops.
Sprinklers are also a great tool to have for efficient crop growth. Basic sprinklers cover a 4×4 area, while quality and iridium sprinklers cover larger areas. By using sprinklers, your crops can receive consistent watering without the need for manual labor.
Remember to place fertilizers and sprinklers before planting your crops. This will ensure that they are being used effectively and that your crops receive the full benefits.
Section 7: Paying Attention to the Wine Production Process
To achieve the best wine quality, it is essential to pay attention to each stage of the production process. Proper crushing, fermentation, and aging are crucial to producing high-quality wine in Stardew Valley.
During crushing, make sure to use the best equipment available. Upgrading your tools can improve the efficiency and quality of the crushing process.
When fermenting your wine, keep an eye on the temperature and flavor profile. Consider using quality yeast to enhance the fermentation process and develop a unique taste.
Lastly, aging is a critical stage of winemaking that can significantly improve the flavor and quality of your wine. Ensure that your wine is stored in the proper environment, such as a cellar or keg, and pay attention to the aging time. Longer aging times can lead to richer and smoother wines.
By paying close attention to each stage of the wine production process, you can achieve the best possible quality for your wine.
Experimenting with Different Wine Recipes
If you want to take your winemaking game to the next level, don’t be afraid to experiment with different wine recipes. While the basic recipe requires only one type of crop, the more you add to the recipe, the more complex and unique your wine will become.
Try combining different crops to create unique flavor profiles and aging times. For example, combining grape and blackberry crops can create a delicious and unique wine that improves with a longer aging time.
Another tip is to experiment with aging times to achieve different results. For instance, aging a strawberry wine for longer than a year can result in a much smoother and complex flavor profile.
Ultimately, the key is to keep experimenting until you discover your favorite wine recipes. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box and try new things. Who knows, you might even discover the next best wine in Stardew Valley!

But indirect land use change caused by biofuels is forcing rainforest destruction in the Amazon, Southeast Asia and Africa. And it is triggering global hunger and starvation.
If you use farmland in North America to grow biofuels, you’re forcing a farmer somewhere else to clear-cut forest to grow food crops. You’ve effectively cut down a rain forest.
— David Tilman, lead author of the “Land Clearing and the Biofuel Carbon Debt” study published in SCIENCE, February, 2008. Quote is from the March 14, 2008 issue of Newsweek.
We looked at all of the current biofuels that are being made around the world and asked if they were causing native ecosystems to be turned into land that would be used to grow the crop. Essentially, all of them are doing that.
—Tilman, ibid. http://www.newsweek.com/id/110636
Converting rainforests, peatlands, savannas, or grasslands to produce food crop–based biofuels in Brazil, Southeast Asia, and the United States creates a “biofuel carbon debt” by releasing 17 to 420 times more CO2 than the annual greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions that these biofuels would provide by displacing fossil fuels.
The second major biofuels study published in February, 2008 came from Princeton and is titled “Use of U.S. Croplands for Biofuels Increases Greenhouse Gases Through Emissions from Land Use Change”.
To produce biofuels, farmers can directly plow up more forests or grassland which releases to the atmosphere much of the carbon previously stored in plants and soil through decomposition or fire… Alternatively, farmers can divert existing crops or croplands into biofuels, which causes similar emissions indirectly. The diversion triggers higher crop prices, and farmers around the world respond by clearing more forest and grassland to replace crops for feed or food.
The February 8, 2008 New York Times awarded these studies this headline: “BIOFUELS DEEMED A GREENHOUSE THREAT”.
Let’s not forget the devastating health and social impacts caused by biofuels forcing indirect land use change. In 2007, U.N. Rapporteur for Food, Jean Ziegler, called these biofuels a “crime against humanity” because they rob land from food production and force millions of humans to confront food shortages, hunger and starvation.
This widespread reduction in acreage dedicated to human food production has created global food shortages, raising the prices of food staples beyond the reach of huge numbers of people in poor countries.
Largely because of indirect land use change forced by biofuels, food riots in 2008 broke out in Egypt, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Madagascar, the Philippines and Haiti. In Pakistan and Thailand, army troops were deployed to avoid seizing of food from the fields and from warehouses. In China, exports of rice were frozen because of runs on domestic supplies sparked by soaring prices.
The World Bank study of April, 2008 confirmed that 75% of spiraling global food costs can be attributed to indirect land use change forced by biofuels. This report was so damning and therefore controversial, it was suppressed for several months before being leaked to the press in July, 2008. This controversy and suppression shows how Industrial World governments want to quash accurate information about the devastation being wreaked by biofuels-forced indirect land use change.
The EPA must have unfettered authority to regulate biofuels using best-available science including the effects of indirect land use change.

Most Zimbabweans – about 70 per cent of the population – live in rural areas and are engaged in smallholder agriculture. These smallholder farmers, particularly in the country’s low rainfall areas, are extremely food insecure and have little or no access to new technology.
They suffer from low incomes and a generally low standard of living, poor health and nutrition, poor housing and an inability to send children to school. Soil degradation and outdated farming methods have kept rural families trapped in poverty.
Inadequate and unreliable rainfall and the recurrent threat of drought also restrict the potential of rain-fed agriculture, on which the livelihoods of most smallholder farmers depend. In a word, access to water for irrigation is one of the most critical constraints that small farmers face.
Making matters worse, AIDS is undermining agricultural systems and affecting the nutritional situation and food security of rural families. As adults fall ill and die, families face declining productivity as well as loss of knowledge about indigenous farming methods and loss of assets.
The devastating consequences of the epidemic are plunging already poor rural communities further into destitution as their labour capacity weakens, incomes dwindle and assets become depleted, with the latter affecting mostly women and children who have few property rights.
According to a survey conducted by the Zimbabwe Farmers’ Union, agricultural output in communal areas has declined by nearly 50% among households affected by AIDS in relation to households not affected by AIDS. Maize production by smallholder farmers and commercial farms has declined by 61% because of illness and death from AIDS.
Women and girls are especially vulnerable. They face the greatest burden of work – given their traditional responsibilities for growing much of the food and caring for the sick and dying in addition to maintaining heavy workloads related to provisioning and feeding the household. In many hard-hit communities, girls are being withdrawn from school to help lighten the family load.
The International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) describes household food security as “the capacity of households to procure a stable and sustainable basket of adequate food” (IFAD, 1996). It incorporates: (a) food availability; (b) equal access to food; (c) stability of food supplies; and, (e) quality of food. All aspects of this are affected by both the household-level impact of HIV/AIDS and the wider impacts of a generalised HIV/AIDS epidemic.
In households coping with HIV/AIDS, food consumption generally decreases. The household may lack food and the time and the means to grow and prepare some food. For the patient, malnutrition and HIV/AIDS can form a vicious cycle whereby under-nutrition increases the susceptibility to infections and consequently worsens the severity of the disease, which in turn results in a further deterioration of nutritional status.
The onset of AIDS, along with secondary diseases and death, might be delayed in individuals with good nutritional status.
Nutritional care and support may help to prevent the development of nutritional deficiencies, loss of weight and lean body mass, and maintain the patient’s strength, comfort, level of functioning and self-image.
In effect, the nutritional status of HIV/AIDS patients can also help improve the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy, when it does become widely available to poor rural people.
In such a context, labour-saving technologies that will adapt agriculture to new conditions generated by HIV/AIDS can help to compensate for the depletion of labour caused by sickness and death.
Drip-irrigation is a low pressure, low volume irrigation system suitable for vegetables, shrubs, flowers and trees, and can be helpful when water is scarce or expensive.
Already popular in countries such as Israel and India, drip-irrigation has been gaining attention because of its potential to increase yields and decrease water use, fertilizer, and labour requirements, if managed properly.
Drip irrigation (sometimes called trickle irrigation) works by applying water slowly and directly to the soil. It is the slow drop-by-drop, localised application of water at a grid above the soil surface. Water flows from a tank through a filter into lines then drips through emitters into the soil next to the plants. The high efficiency of drip irrigation results from two primary factors. The first is that the water soaks into the soil before it can evaporate or run-off. The second is that the water is only applied where it is needed (at the plant roots), rather than sprayed everywhere as in sprinkle or furrow irrigation systems.
Nutrients can be applied through the drip systems, thus reducing the use of fertilizers. Soil is maintained in a continuously moist condition. With a 100 square meter garden, equipped with low cost drip kit technology, a family of five can grow nutritious vegetables for consumption throughout the year.
This inexpensive kit offers a 50 per cent savings on water, over 80 per cent yields, and better quality vegetables and herbs. Because of its minimal labour requirements, the kit is well suited to serve HIV and AIDS affected households headed by orphans or their grandparents, where labour maybe in short supply.
In Zimbabwe’s rural areas, HNGs are widespread, yet they are largely neglected in spite of their potential to cushion disadvantaged and AIDS-affected families from food insecurity. Ordinarily, a HNG is cultivated close to home, thus eliminating the need for farmers to travel to distant fields.
HNGs can play a significant part in enhancing food security in several ways, most importantly through: 1) direct access to a diversity of nutritionally-rich foods, 2) increased purchasing power from savings on food bills and sales of garden products, 3) availability of food throughout the season and especially during seasonal lean periods, and 4) savings on water, time and labour.
Improving household gardening requires the optimal use of land and irrigation, as well as a dynamic integration of additional crops and crop varieties with specific value and uses. A well developed HNG has the potential, when access to land and water is not a major limitation, to supply most of the non-staple food that a family needs every day of the year, including roots and tuber, vegetables and fruits, legumes, herbs and spices.
Roots and tubers are rich in energy and legumes are important sources of protein, fat, iron and vitamins. Green leafy vegetables and yellow-or orange-colored fruits provide essential vitamins and minerals, particularly folate, and vitamins A, E and C. Vegetables and fruits are a vital component of a healthy diet and should be eaten as part of every meal, and are highly recommended for people living with AIDS
Smallholder farmers generally grow three cycles of crops per year. Typically, this includes at least one cycle of vegetable crops during the winter months, and an early maize or bean crop that can be harvested in December. The exact cropping cycles and systems will depend on regional climate, soils and input availability, in conjunction with the specific skills and nutritional needs of the household.
Farmers are encouraged to grow locally available indigenous crops that are highly nutritive but often neglected. The crops contain good nutrients and often require low labour-input. They represent a flexible source of food supply and can be easily preserved. Besides providing a source of income, they are adapted to cultural dynamics and local food habits.
They produce ample seeds without creating a dependence on external resources. Because the technology is new, smallholder farmers require technical support and training to help them tap into the full potential of the kit.
By strengthening the capacity to produce food at household level using low-cost technologies, negative impacts can be mitigated for AIDS-affected communities. Labour saving technologies and improved seed varieties can help to compensate for the depletion of labour caused by sickness and death, and assist farm-households to survive prolonged crisis, such as that caused by AIDS. Through agriculture and rural development, resilience against HIV can be built.
Drip irrigation technology offers much promise for landholders in the communal areas of Zimbabwe, where water application has traditionally involved the use of surface irrigation and “bucket watering”. Both methods are inefficient and waste a lot of water. Using the bucket involves hard work especially when the water is far away and scarce.
With drip irrigation, communal farmers, especially women, who are the primary carers and pillars of the community, can be able to maintain their gardens with ease, efficiently and at a low cost.
Also, drip technology will give quick returns on a small investment, and growing vegetables will provide both nutrition vegetables and year-round incomes.
As the old Chinese saying goes: “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for a day. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.”

El Salvador: Los Pirineos #15, Natural Bourbon
In the cup: Flavours of pear, chocolate and apricot, with a hint of strawberries. Complex, very smooth & delicate body, lychee in finish. Clean and light, very fresh natural.
Cupping Score: 88
Farm: Finca Los Pirineos
Microlot: La Cumbre #15
Producer: Gilberto Baraona
Altitude: 1550 metres above sea leve
Los Pirineos is a unique farm, situated on the Tepeca volcano in Usulatan, and Gilberto Baraona is a unique producer. He has been working with different cultivars and honey processes. His strategy has been to experiment with different cultivars, and assess which cultivar will work best on the different parts of the farm where the altitude ranges across the farm.
The climate and growing conditions in this area are great despite the medium altitudes. The cold nights makes the maturation slow and the flavor development really nice. Gilberto is a producer we also have worked with for years, and he’s always interested in playing around with different preparations and processes.
Origin: Los Pirineos
In Usulutan, on top of the Tepeca volcano, you can find Los Pirineos owned by the producer Gilberto Baraona. It’s located on a volcanic mountain range surrounded by the cities of Berlin, Santiago de Maria and Joy. The cultivation of coffee at the farm was started in 1890 and according to family accounts, the original seeds of the property, and the mother plants were imported from Antigua Guatemala. The coffee is separated in to small to medium sized batches based up on different parts of the farm and coffee varietals. Currently the farm cultivates the varietals Bourbon Elite, Pacas and Pacamara, but the farm has also taken part in a Procafe project growing different varitals. As a result they have plots of of native coffee trees, natural mutants and hybrids originated from all over the world. Los Pirineos farm was one of the pioneers in El Salvador to build its own Micro Coffee Mill. The producer still experiments with processing and drying methods. For the coffees purchased this year we did a trial on soaking after the coffees were pulped and demucilaged, and with great success flavor wise.
Usulután, from the Nawat language (meaning "city of the ocelots"), is a department of El Salvador in the southeast of the country (Lenca region).
Production process: Well-trained pickers are given good incentives to select ripe cherries only. The coffee is brought to the Los Pirineos micro mill in the afternoon to be handsorted of unripes and over ripes.
Notes: The farm is in an area with a great cool climate for slow maturation, good rainfall and fertile volcanic soils.

16. Maintain your irrigation system
Up to 50% of outdoor home water use is lost due to wind, evaporation and runoff caused by inefficient irrigation methods. Save up to 146 gallons of water per week by checking on your irrigation system monthly.
You should also adjust your irrigation schedules depending on the time of year, running sprinklers less frequently in the winter months. Another trick is to run your sprinklers in the morning to lose less water to evaporation.
17. Plant native and drought-tolerant plants
Spend less time and energy watering your lawn by making smart plant purchases. A little bit of research can go a long way to find the best native and/or drought-tolerant plants.
Drought-resistant plants, such as aloe and geranium, can survive with less rainfall and watering. Native plants are already accustomed to the climate and natural rainfall. While you’ll still need to maintain them, they should require a lot less work than exotic plant species.
18. Add mulch to your garden or lawn
Mulch is another great way to conserve water in your yard, because it prevents evaporation and weed growth by helping plants hold their moisture.
Compost, wood chips and straw are three popular mulches for moisture retention and can help reduce evaporation from soil by up to 70%.
19. Use a broom to clean driveways and sidewalks
Skip the hose and grab a broom next time you clean your driveways and sidewalks. This small maintenance task can save up to 150 gallons of water every cleaning.
Due to its effectiveness, some cities, such as Los Angeles, have required broom cleaning by law during droughts.
20. Collect rainwater in a barrel
Harvesting rainwater is a natural irrigation method that collects rain in a barrel for you to reuse on your yard or garden. Some states, such as Texas and Rhode Island, even offer a tax incentive. Other states have particular laws about the practice, so make sure to do some reading before you collect.
Another important reminder is that rainwater harvesting can pose a health problem if the water is consumed, so always keep your barrel somewhere safe from small children and pets.

You’ve probably seen reddish-yellow spots on the leaves of plants in your garden more than once, and you probably want to know how to avoid them. Let’s get to know this problem.
These spots are produced by a fungus commonly called Rust, which includes several different species. These fungi produce spores that are dispersed by the wind and adhere to materials in their path, including plants. These fungi mainly affect the leaves of trees and shrubs, although they can also attack herbaceous plants.
The reddish spots that we locate on the underside of the leaves are the spores of the fungus, which accumulate and grow. Their growth is propelled by environmental moisture, therefore an excess of it, can facilitate the settlement of the rust.
To avoid this fungus it is important to ventilate well the places where we have plants (if they are indoors), thus avoiding the accumulation of environmental humidity. It is also important not to over-water our plants and not to crowd the plants together too much, with the same purpose of avoiding excess humidity.
Once the leaves and stems are infected, it is better to pull them out and burn them, so that the fungus does not continue to develop and avoid the possibility of it spreading in our field. Another natural remedy is the application in the form of irrigation of horsetail in infusion, which affects the fungus negatively, and although the affected leaves can not be revitalized, it prevents its spread to the rest of the plant and the field. Of course, specialized fungicides can also be found on the market.
Have you ever come across this problem or a similar one and don’t know how to combat it? Contact us and revitalize your orchard and garden in a natural way.

If you think that the desert is just
camels and dunes, think again. The desert is a place where we can
and we must grow food sustainably. Drylands cover over 40% of the earth and are home to over 2.2 billion people.
Given climate change, those numbers are likely to grow. Here, at Ben Gurion University
Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research scientists are developing solutions to some
of the worlds greatest problems in the fields of water scarcity, food security
and clean energy. We are located in the heart of the Israeli Negev desert.
We have extremely high temperatures during the summer and Israel is unique because our deserts are just decreasing in size and this
is exactly because our activity. We are making the desert bloom
and this is something very unique to Israel and very unique to the Blaustein
Institutes for Desert Research. We check the mechanism in which plants
are surviving in this areas and we are trying to bring the knowledge that we are collecting here
in order to make farmers in different areas grow this kind of crops with the
technique that we are developing here. This was once sea water, now after desalination
it is fresh water to drink. Desalination this days provide more
than 80% of what Israelis drink. Our technology is implemented in countries such as
the US, Australia, Africa and Europe as well. And of course, there is plenty
of sunshine here in the desert! Here at the Ashalim Solar Thermal Power
Station in Israel’s Negev desert more than 50,000 mirrors follow the sun
and reflect sunlight onto a boiler on top of a 250-meter tower. The electricity generated here will be enough
to power over 120,000 homes. The desert is an incredible place.
We can face global challenges together growing more with less, and leaving no one behind. If you care, share!

I just finished ordering my spring bulbs for planting this October, and thought it would make for a helpful reminder to let you guys know it’s time to order your bulbs. If you’re not sure what to think about bulbs + planting + Gardening, here’s a few tips!
Tip 1: Know your zone. Even before you select a single bulb, it’s important to know what your zone is. Since so much of planting is dependent on location + time of year, be sure you research your zone. When you have a colder, harsher winter, you have to plant bulbs deeper in the ground to protect them from frost. Also, your first frost is earlier– so that means an earlier planting season. You want to plant when the ground is cool but not freezing. Being in Nashville, my plans are to plant on the weekend of October 15. I take it so seriously that I actually intentionally didn’t schedule a wedding or event, because it’s our first year in our new house, and thus spring planting is important to me.
2. Sketch out your garden: This is the second most important part! Take a few minutes to go out and measure + sketch your planting area. If you have not paid much attention to the amount of sun that your garden area gets, then now is the time to pay attention. On a regular sunny day, take a picture of your garden spot around 9 in the morning, 12 noon, 3 in the afternoon, and 5 in the evening. That will give you a “sun” forecast. If you have a canopy of trees in your yard, note if they will have leaves in winter or not (Conifers, evergreen, and the like will have leaves year round, thus keeping your spots shady, but a big Oak Tree will be barren– meaning your garden may get direct sun).
After you sketch, measure. Make sure you see how far across your planting area is, and how deep the area is.
3. Ordering Bulbs: a few things to keep in mind. First of all, ORDER BULBS THAT WILL WORK IN YOUR GARDEN BASED ON LIGHT:
Using your sun forecast, see what kind of light your garden spot gets. FULL SUN Means that you get at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight. PART SUN means anywhere from 3-6 hours of sun, or indirect sunlight (the term “part shade” means the same thing) FULL SHADE: means less than 3 hours of sunlight per day, and preferrably is an indirect sunlight. A good tip: indirect sun is sunlight that can filter in through leaves. Be sure that you don’t get confused by leaf-light now, because judging your partial shade as with a canopy of leaves could possibly kill your bulbs from too much sun.
Secondly, ORDER A VARIETY of Bulbs: many of the big bulb companies sell “variety packs” and these are great for the beginning gardener. If you fall in love with ten dollar a pop bulbs you may be sad if a starving squirrel chomps down on your bulb, and you lose the flower. Try to have at least three of each type and color of flower. Mixed packs can be great because you can get an array of color with very little planning on your part:
STEP THREE: order from a reputable source. You have many options here. You could go to a local nursery, large garden center, or check out online shops. Online retailers can sometimes offer a wider variety with lots of pictures and suggestions, like Dutch Bulb.com, Brecks, and Sheeper’s Bulbs Look for companies that offer guarantees on the quality of their products in case of damage, molding, or corruption in shipping.
We’ll be talking about how to prepare your garden and plant your lovely bulbs in the next installment!

Challenges in accessing markets will soon be a thing of the past for fruit and vegetables producers in the Greater Taung Local Municipality, as the North West Department of Agriculture and Rural Development has officially begun the process of constructing the Taung Agro-Hub which will enable farmers to gain better access to markets in a more sustainable way.
A sod-turning ceremony for this first of its kind facility in the North West Province was held yesterday, Monday, 19th May 2014 at the construction site which is situated at Taung Agricultural College. The cost for the construction of the Agro-Hub will be approximately R10 million.
The MEC for Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Ms Desbo Mohono who turned the first sod to mark the commencement of the construction works, said the support provided to smallholder farmers affords them greater opportunity to showcase their potential in contributing towards growing the thriving agricultural sector and making our country food secured.
“This Hub will create market opportunities for locally-grown agricultural products especially fruit and vegetables, foster the province’s economic growth and increase job creation while ensuring that fresh and healthy produce are available for the communities”, said MEC Mohono.
Mr Zamane Sokhupha of Dirisanang Food Plot in Dryharts village who is also the chairperson of the Taung Agro-Hub, said as farmers, they applaud the work being done by the department which they regard as beneficial to the farmers and consumers alike.
“Farmers are always looking for good opportunities to sell their products, and this development is not only good, but great for agriculture in the Taung area”, he said.
It is expected that the Taung Agro-Hub project will offer smallholder farmers in this area the advantage to share fresh produce market infrastructure and transport, resulting in positive economies of scale. The facility will allow the farmers to centrally bring in their produce to the Hub and subject them to cleaning, sorting, grading, packaging and labelling processes, for compliance with food safety standard.
The construction work which is scheduled to be completed by the end of the current financial year, will incorporate handling and processing facilities such as cooling services, processing equipment and loading facilities.
As MEC Mohono puts it, the establishment of the Hub heralds the department’s contribution towards the bigger concept on the stimulation of economic activities around the Taung area.

By Lauren Dantella, Point Park News Service:
With the arrival of spring, some of the area’s smallest inhabitants could be facing big losses that consumers may notice on their farmer’s market shelves.
Some local beekeepers said they are expecting higher-than-average honeybee population losses following the severe cold this winter. These losses can affect the price of local honey and possibly the output of local produce.
“When you lose lots of bees from the weather, diseases, pests, et cetera, you certainly have an impact on consumers and that’s shown in the honey that’s produced,” said Stephen Repasky, president of Burgh Bees. “Less colonies means less honey. so that’s less honey that’s available to your local consumers.”
Honeybee conservation has been gaining attention from the scientific community since the gradual, but sharp, decrease in population in 2006. Nationally, there is a 33 percent drop every winter due to colony collapse disorder, pesticides and other diseases, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The winter of 2011-12 was exceptionally warm and resulted in a lower decline.
“Recovering any bee population, whether it’s managed bees or wild bees, certainly having a cold spell like we did or a bad winter throws back our recovery period by a year or two,” Repasky said.
Repasky’s organization is a Pittsburgh nonprofit promoting bee keeping and bee conservation with its partner Penn State University. The organization has constructed apiaries, or beekeeping communities, throughout the city, including the Homewood Community Apiary. He said some of the problems the Homewood Community Apiary faced this winter were caused by the weather.
“These last couple cold spells that we’ve had where it went down to the negative teens at night or the single digits during the day, sometimes the smaller and weaker didn’t make it, and we actually have a colony here that had too small a cluster during the wintertime, and they perished,” Repasky said.
He said some of the two dozen hives are wrapped in insulation to provide warmth and a windbreaker. The gated area is designed to allow as much sunlight to hit the hives as possible. The beekeepers also provide food, such as honey and fondant when needed. Despite these precautions, Repasky said he expects a 10-15 percent loss of bees.
What separates the hives that live and perish is usually the size, he said. The colonies cluster into a tight ball about the size of a cantaloupe to maintain a 90-98 degree temperature inside. Colonies too small to maintain this vital heat are more vulnerable.
Randy Holmes is a second-year beekeeper who also had concerns about the two hives he keeps on his alpaca farm in Butler.
“Luckily, last week I went down, and I could hear buzzing in both hives, so we’re very fortunate,” Holmes said. “I’ve heard stories from other beekeepers in the area that haven’t been so fortunate, that they have lost their hives, either part of their hives or the whole hives.”
While Holmes only had a small amount of honey to sell last year, he plans on expanding the enterprise to keep up with demand. Holmes, like Repasky, believes this year’s exceptional cold will affect availability and prices of local honey.
“Certainly that’s not going to mean dollars,” Repasky said. “We sell honey for roughly $8 a pound, so you might see a quarter or a 50 cent increase and that’s still enough, that’s a lot.”

Last year took an unexpected turn, which left varieties of industries crippled and normal life routines interrupted, thanks to the Corona Virus pandemic. However, people are now rediscovering different ways of living beyond the crisis. For instance, many people now realize the joy of planting vegetables in their backyards. While they’re at it, more and more people are using greenhouses to elevate the quest for homegrown vegetables to the next level.
Those who enjoy gardening throughout the year deserve the best greenhouse kits to boost vegetable production. This article explores various top greenhouse kits you can buy to make gardening easy.

Is it cheaper to build or buy a greenhouse?
Manufactured greenhouse kits are quite appealing because they come in varieties of sizes. They are specifically designed to provide efficient heating, ventilation, and watering, making them effortless for the user. Therefore, if convenience and ease are your top considerations, then buying a manufactured greenhouse should be the right choice for you.
However, if you need flexibility and don’t want to spend a lot of money, making your greenhouse kit should be your top priority. This also allows you to make a greenhouse kit that takes on a style, material, size, or shape you’d prefer.
What is the best greenhouse to buy?
Due to the many varieties of styles available, sometimes it’s difficult to choose the perfect greenhouse kit for your needs. But considering that there are greenhouses made of Aluminum and wooden frames, it helps to look through the various benefits to enable you u to make an informed decision.
Aluminum-framed greenhouse kits are portable and usually durable. Their fine structure lets in plenty of light without casting shadows. They are available in a range of colors and require a little work to maintain.
On the other hand, wooden-framed greenhouses are also strong, beautiful and provide a more natural look in your garden. They’re more bulky and robust compared to metal frames but need regular maintenance.
Is green or clear better for a greenhouse?
If you use green plastic for a greenhouse kit, plants will end up being slightly shorter than plants grown in a clear plastic greenhouse kit. There is no much difference for both when it comes to letting in sunlight-they let in almost similar amounts of light. It’s not recommended to use clear plastic as a greenhouse covering. So if you have green plastic, it will do just fine for your greenhouse kit.
Does a greenhouse add value to a house?
It’s no secret, a uniquely designed greenhouse kit will add more value to your home. It often leads to a more sophisticated landscape design. While it might not add value to your home when you choose to sell it, beautiful greenhouse kits create a visual accent that adds more value to your home while you’re still there.
A well-designed greenhouse kit elevates the style of your home. But some buyers may not want to buy a home that would require extra-maintenance for other things. However, you may make more money from buyers who would love greenhouse kits at their new home and who don’t see a problem maintaining them.

2020 was the United Nations International Year of Plant Health (IYPH). As a school focus, Environmental Warriors from each class took leadership in working with students to develop their understanding of stewardship of the Earth. This included developing programs and activities about recycling, veggie gardening, worm farms and other initiatives that the students wish to develop.
This helped the students to realise that we have a responsibility for our world and what happens to it. With this, we are also involved in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program an will continue to involve ourselves in similar causes.

A man is the master gardener of his life and the author of his environment, the editor and reader of his destiny.
A man can be compared to a gardener who plants a seed, hence he can just wait for it to grow improperly in bad soil or puts in an effort for it to grow properly in good soil.
The preparation of the farmer matters a lot, the soil is one of the most important things of a farmer. Without good soil, the farmer might just end up with a bad harvest. The soil doesn't care what you plant in it, the same way your mind doesn't care what you think about it acts on your own command. "You become what you think about" - Earl Nightingale, words I recognize and keep in my thoughts day and night.
Let me explain, if you grow corn you will expect corn right? But then the corn can either come out bad or good which depends on you, if you sow poison you get back poison in return, What you sow is what you harvest "Cause and effect"....
Behind every man's downfall is a cause, nothing ever happens to a man without him trying to reap where he didn't sow. It is greed for profit.
Getting without giving is greed. The hands that give will always gather.
The farmer that grows the corn needs constant checking and removal of weeds and protection from pest, the farmer always needs to water the corn seeds and check the growth of his corn and protect it in any way he can from pest "consistency is the word".
"Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reaped"
Hmm, months ago I went to an important event which I rarely go to but felt I had to go for this charity event.
I guess this time my thoughts didn't go wild but was focused on getting sometime useful done apart from just writing.
As the event went on and on I felt good about the speaker and was so excited and attentive that I didn't notice a long time friend I haven't seen for ages was there in the event.
Two hours went by, and we needed a break, so we got one....
As I was sitting on the bench with a Sandwich in my hand my long time friend came by. Hey! He said, I was stocked to see him and patted my long time buddy on the shoulder, and he smiled…
I do remember him, my thoughts

I dream that my neighbor, a middle age balding man, is teaching me gardening and the language of plants. Where the plants are planted and growing communicates information, but never the same thing twice, always something new. My neighbor gives me illustrated greeting cards and picture books about gardening. My parents have died and my neighbor has befriended me. The plants and flowers grow wildly everywhere. There is a glass terrarium with a grow lamp. New flowers are sprouting up and dying out every few seconds in the terrarium.

Parasitic weeds of the households Cuscutaceae, Orobanchaceae and Scrophulariaceae are thought of to be one of the significant difficulties dealing with agriculture within the Tropics and Subtropics. within the final a long time, huge, immense efforts were made and good fortune accomplished by means of scientists around the world in gaining a greater figuring out in their biology and ecology in addition to of regulate equipment. although, no significant aid of infestation has been completed some time past and keep watch over options particular to the various parasites, vegetation and farming structures needs to be additional built or tailored and realised between a much broader farming inhabitants with compatible extension tools. This `Technical guide' offers updated methodologies for varied facets of analysis and extension on the topic of parasitic weed species of the genera Striga, Alectra, Orobanche and Cuscuta. It has the purpose to aid scientists and extension employees of overseas and nationwide study and extension institutes and universities, who're both new to the topic or plan to use additional ideas they don't seem to be but favourite with.

It’s not a question of “if” or “when” poison ivies will hit the market.
It’s a question that depends on a few factors: the species and its habitat; the ability of farmers to use insecticides; and the availability of those chemicals.
So it’s important to make sure you have all the information you need.
The best way to avoid the deadly disease is to:The best way for you to avoid it is to use the right tool and be cautious.
Here’s how to avoid poison ivys.
Know where the poison ivydays come fromThe species of poison ivypheres varies widely in their range.
Some are native to the U.S., while others are native only to China and Japan.
And some, like the Chinese species, are not native at all.
In general, there are three major types of poison-ivy infestations: native poison ivie, exotic, and introduced.
Native poison ivymites are usually found in the U, Canada and parts of the U-S.
But the majority of native poison-ivy infestants are introduced.
An invasive poison-vy can be found anywhere.
Most native poison and invasive ivy species are related.
For example, most are closely related to the Asian species that caused the first case of poison and then invasive ivys to emerge in the United States.
In other words, native poisonivy and invasive poisonivys are genetically related, so they share some genetic code and common traits.
For instance, the Japanese poison ivyx is closely related, but is not native to Japan.
Poison ivy is a pest that is typically found in areas with a lot of woody vegetation and where woody cover is low, such as gardens and shrubs.
As with most other garden pests, the problem can be prevented by using proper mulch, planting trees that don’t get too close to woody plants, and using natural materials such as compost and manure to reduce the chances of poison overwintering.
Poisons are spread by people, but are also spread by insects.
So be sure you’re keeping your pets and yard clean and keeping your yard in a well-drained condition.
And be sure to protect your pets, too.
Poards have no natural enemies.
They are attracted to food that is eaten by the animals in the area.
And they are very susceptible to the toxic effects of sunlight.
A poisonous tree may be an attractive choice, but it is not an ideal location for a home garden.
Poids that are native or introduced to the United State have already killed more than 5 million Americans.
The number of deaths is expected to rise.
The problem is that these plants can also be very poisonous, particularly if the plants are grown on a soil that is not well-aerated.
The U. of C. reports that in one study, poisoning from the native Asian-virus poison ivytue caused about 1.6 million cases of poisoning over an 18-month period.
Poets can make use of a few tricks to prevent poison ivying.
It can be hard to control poison ivye in gardens because many native species are attracted by light and can be a problem.
But it is possible to reduce or eliminate the risk of poisoning by avoiding outdoor lighting and by using natural mulches, mulch sticks, and compost.
You can also make your own poison ivyer by cutting a few branches off a large tree, placing them in a bucket, and pouring water over the tree.
This will prevent the water from entering the tree and getting to the roots.
This method can also help you to control invasive species.
If you’re looking for a way to control native poison, you can use a small sprayer or chemical that will make the soil slightly acidic.
Then apply the solution directly to the area, leaving it in place for several hours.
The solution will also kill any plants that are trying to establish.
You can also apply the chemical directly to a portion of the plant to kill the harmful bugs that are attracted, and then apply the same chemical to the rest of the tree, where the bacteria will not get the chance to establish in the soil.
You should not use a chemical to kill native poison in your garden, unless you can find a good source of it.
But you should not spray directly into your garden unless you have a good, well-tended garden.
You should also not spray into the middle of your yard.
If you do, you will attract poison ivyers to your garden and increase the chances for poison ivyls to grow there.
To reduce the chance of poison, the best way is to prevent it from establishing in your yard and in your own garden.
In addition to eliminating the most common types of native or imported poison iviys, there is another option: using insecticides to kill weeds and weeds that are in the vicinity of the poison.

Green prize awarded
The sixth international Rachel Carson environmental award has been presented to German agricultural minister Renate Künast on the opening day of Women Show the Way in Stavanger today, 14 June.
Statoil is the principal sponsor for this exhibition, and also supports the Rachel Carson award for women who have made a distinguished contribution to environmental work.
Ms Künast is Germany’s first female minister for consumer protection, food, agriculture and forestry, and has been prominent in her efforts to reform the farming sector.
Improved food quality and safety is one of her concerns, along with the adoption of production methods which take better care of the natural environment and species diversity.
Gerd Halmø, manager for health, safety and the environment in Natural Gas, is chair of the award, which has been named after a well-known environmental researcher and writer.
Statoil supports the prize because it combines the group’s commitments to equal opportunities and the environment, Ms Halmø observes.
“It recognises the involvement and commitment of women as pioneers in the environmental arena.”

Handpicket harvest – THE ART OF GROWING VINES, HANDED DOWN FROM THEIR ANCESTORS
Traditional growing and handpicked harvest. Continuing with the same idea of respect and paying close attention to quality, all of our vineyards are traditionally cultivated. Mostly manual work is done during the growing season, such as weeding, green pruning, clipping the tips, and cluster thinning. This ends with a manual harvest, which is carried out in traditional wicker baskets to ensure that the high quality selected grapes are treated with the utmost respect whilst also caring for the environment.

Smart Irrigation System
The smart irrigation system is a great way to save water and money. It also helps the environment by conserving water and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers. Since it involves water supply, a professional plumber should help you maintain the smart irrigation system to ensure it functions properly all the time.
The system includes a sensor that detects soil moisture levels and sends data to a control box, which then activates an irrigation valve at the right time. Upgrading to smart irrigation systems can improve your water usage and keep your lawn beautiful and lush.
How can a smart irrigation system do that? This article will answer this important question. You will also know how it works and how it can benefit your home.
What is a Smart Irrigation System and How Does It Work?
There are programmable irrigation systems that let homeowners and property owners turn lawn sprinklers automatically. This system has overrides that prevent sprinklers from running when it starts raining, although the overrides should be operated manually.
With smart irrigation, there is no need for manual operations. One of the advantages of using smart irrigation is its ability to monitor local weather conditions or actual ground moisture levels. A smart irrigation system will adjust automatically according to the lawn’s actual needs.
A smart irrigation system can also be installed on existing irrigation systems which will cut water usage by up to 40%. Over time, you can save money on expensive utility bills. Another cool feature of a smart irrigation system is it can be linked to your home WiFi and can be controlled remotely using a smart device.
Needless to say, this revolutionary water system can make your home life more convenient. No need to worry about forgetting to turn on or off the sprinkler before leaving the house during the day.
Should You Get a Smart Irrigation System?
A smart watering technology is usually installed on existing underground irrigation systems. You can swap the current controller with a smart one, or use add-on weather or moisture-based sensors with existing controllers. The latter can save you on costs from purchasing a new controller.
If you are a property owner, ensure to do your research first before investing in a smart watering technology. More importantly, professional plumbing service in Spring Hill TN should help you decide if a moisture-based or weather-based sensor is the best choice for you.
A weather-based sensor, also known as an evapotranspiration controller, uses local weather data to control sprinkler running time. It can be accessed through WiFi or take on-site weather measurements.
Moisture-based sensors, on the other hand, use sensors that are inserted into the year to measure soil measure levels. Regardless of the recommendations, it is best to consult industry experts. Contact one today!

Colorado has been extremely rainy this year. We were one day short of breaking a record of not going over 90 degrees for the entire month of June. I have to admit, though, I have really enjoyed the rain, the cooler temperatures, and even the occasional lightning storms. Maybe my heart belongs in Portland?
As an added bonus to all of this rain, my garden has been flourishing. The peas have taken over, to the point where I have to keep them from strangling the tomatoes. The zucchini plants have exploded, and little zucchinis are starting to emerge. I expect to start harvesting next week.
The tomatoes have been interesting. I think I have an infestation of Mexican Flea Beetles, so while there are tiny tomatoes evergreen on my plants, they seem to be stagnant. A lovely row of sunflowers is almost up to my hip in the back, I’m hoping these will attract the bad bugs and bees. I also picked all of the carrots I had planted in the first round.
The other plants are growing steadily, pole beans and bean bushes and peppers, and the spinach has gone to seed so I need to pull it asap. In the meantime, I am so pleased with our first big harvest. These carrots are called “short and sweet” with a short growth time period. I planted a second round and should be able to harvest them in August.
I never thought I would be able to actually have a successful garden, but I guess the rain this year has washed some of the black off of my thumb and revealed a bit if green. Who knew?
Do you have a garden this year? Tell me all about it, and feel free to link to your site or blog!

We are thrilled to have just got the keys to the gate of Cardiff Steiner School’s first School Allotment – and are excited about the new opportunities it opens up for our students across all ages and areas of the curriculum.
Our new School Allotment is at Llandaff North Allotments, just two minutes from the School, opposite the Co-op at in Llandaff North village. It’s a great plot right next to the communal polytunnel, greenhouse and shop.
It has its own shed and two raised beds, very kindly built by members of the allotment site, who have also offered to clear and dig the most overgrown bits of the plot for us, and work with the pupils on horticulture and growing projects.
The Llandaff North Allotments (Twitter @AllotmentsNorth) were established around the time of the Second World War as part of a national scheme to provide plots of land for people to cultivate and produce their own fresh fruit and vegetables. It is a lovely site with over 200 plots, wildlife areas, ponds and picnic spots.
The School allotment has been acquired thanks to our Class 1 Teacher, Mr Kennard, who has worked hard, with the support of the Llandaff North Allotments Committee, to secure the plot. As well as being our Class 1 Teacher, Mr Kennard is Chairman of the Cardiff Allotment Holders Association, who advocate for, and support, allotment and community growing facilities in Cardiff. We are hugely grateful to Mr Kennard, the Commitee, and particularly 8o year old Committee member, Mac, whose suggestion it was to offer the School a plot in the first place.
Our initial plans are for Class 1 to spend one of their Outdoor lessons a week at the allotment (Wednesday or Friday). Class 2/3 will spend every other week of their Outdoor Curriculum double lesson at the plot, alternating with den building at Hailey Park woods. They will also be using the plot in their upcoming Farming Main Lesson Block to grow wheat, barley, oats and rye.
There are numerous other opportunities for Middle and Upper School use in the curriculum, from Botany and Biology to Business Maths and community projects such as growing food for community events and fundraising markets. Kindergarten are also looking at how they can use the site as part of the’ Expedition Day’ curriculum on Fridays.
A soul connection to the earth and cycles of the year
Gardening provides an inquisitive and rewarding approach to learning. Children enjoy being outdoors, they’re curious and like to learn by doing and being creative. Gardening offers them hands-on, experiential learning opportunities across the curriculum, including in the natural and social sciences, maths, english, visual arts and nutrition, as well as helping develop life skills, improve well-being and raise environmental awareness.
Our allotment offers all this plus the added benefits of community growing and increased participation and connection with our local community.
With widespread evidence that young people have become distanced from nature, combined with modern industrial farming and mass food retailing, children have become less and less dependent on the earth and cycles of the year. Gardening gives children the satisfaction of watching something evolve from a tiny seed planted into a beautiful plant or vegetable which they can later eat – helping them experience real gratitude for the food that’s on our tables and giving them a soul connection to the earth and cycles of the year.
It closes the ‘nature gap’ making the connection between source and pre-packed product, the interdependence between the rural and urban environments, the importance of food, farming, agriculture, green spaces and the wildlife they sustain.

We develop a theoretical model in which technology adoption decisions are based on the information received from others about the quality of a new technology and on their risk attitudes. We test the predictions of this model using a randomized field experiment in Bangladesh. We show that the share of treated farmers who receive better training in System of Rice Intensification (SRI) technology have a high positive impact on the adoption rate of untreated farmers. We also find that untreated farmers who are more risk-averse tend to adopt the technology less and are less influenced by their treated peers. Finally, a trained farmer' impact on his untrained peers increases if he himself adopts SRI technology. Our results indicate that the crucial determinants of technology adoption for untreated farmers are the accuracy and reliability of information transmission about the quality of the technology circulated among farmers as well as their degree of risk aversion.

Supreme Court Hears Arguments in Bowman v. Monsanto
On February 19, 2013, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Bowman v. Monsanto, a case in which Indiana farmer Bowman argued that purchaser’s rights should trump patent rights.
Bowman purchased commodity soybeans from a grain elevator and used these as seed to grow a new crop of soybeans. The majority of the commodity soybeans carried Monsanto’s patented glyphosphate resistance trait (Round-Up Ready®), which Bowman knew. He treated the soybean plants with Round-Up®, which eventually produced seed also carrying Monsanto’s patented glyphosphate resistance trait.
Monsanto sued Bowman for infringement of its patents. Bowman lost below at both the trial court and the appellate court, where both courts concluded that Bowman “made” the claimed glyphosphate resistant soybeans by planting the purchased seeds and growing new infringing seeds that did not previously exist.
Bowman argued that when Monsanto sold its seed to farmers who grew soybeans and then sold them as commodities, Monsanto exhausted its rights in the invention as claimed, under the doctrine of patent exhaustion. Monsanto counter-argued that the sale exhausted its rights in the seeds that it actually sold, but did not exhaust all its rights under the patents, such as when unauthorized copies of the patented seeds are made.
Monsanto argued that if its rights in the patented invention were exhausted after the first sale and copies could be freely made, then it would have to recoup all its research and development costs from the first sale, which would be commercially untenable.
The justices seemed to be very well attuned to Monsanto’s position, peppering Bowman with questions and correcting what they found to be misstatements of fact. For example, Bowman said that Monsanto was preventing the use of the commodity seed. Justice Scalia corrected him by saying that purchasers could use it, but they could not plant it.
Monsanto drew analogies to live vaccines and bacteria, which are self-replicating. These would have the same problem as seeds if the doctrine of patent exhaustion were applied as broadly as Bowman sought.
The U.S., arguing in support of Monsanto, compared the self-replicating seeds to software that can be easily copied to make new infringing copies.
Justices Kagan and Sotomayor questioned whether the law of limited or conditional licenses needed to be revisited and clarified in the context of this case, but Monsanto answered that it was not necessary.
Justice Kennedy asked whether Monsanto could win on a theory of infringement based on use of the purchased seed rather than the making of new infringing seed. Monsanto said that it could.
Overall, the justices appeared to favor Monsanto’s positions, which could indicate a favorable ruling for Monsanto and a negative ruling for Bowman.

The plex formula was developed only a few years ago in the USA, but it immediately burst onto the hairdressing cosmetics market, thanks to the fact that celebrities immediately "struck" it - and since then they have been asking their hairdressers for plex treatments and the use of plex-containing products.
The marigold, which is also well-known in our country, is a native plant of the Mediterranean regions and originates from West Asia and the Mediterranean. This bright orange annual plant belongs to the nesting flower family. Although it is not a perennial, if it scatters its seeds, it can be an ornament of our garden every year and a useful element of our home apothecary.
Aloe vera is a semi-tropical, perennial plant from North Africa. Who doesn't know this succulent, jelly-like green that looks like a cactus, which actually belongs to the lily family. We know more than 300 types of aloe vera, from the small 2 cm to the large 120 cm. The best known and most widespread is the white-spotted Aloe Barbadensis Miller.
Sunflower oil - which we use in almost every household on a daily basis - we would not even imagine what an exceptionally valuable liquid it is.
Green tea originates from China and is the most popular in Asia, although nowadays it is also popular in the West due to its beneficial physiological effects. The plant, whose Latin name is Camellia sinensis, is grown in the mountains of East Asia. It is a huge evergreen tree, but on the plantations, it is cut back to the size of a small bush.
Olive oil, called liquid gold by Homer, has been held in high esteem by different cultures for thousands of years, and some peoples even believed that it was a gift from the Gods.
Bamboo is an evergreen, perennial plant of which there are many different species. Its main place of occurrence is East and South Asia, but it can also be found in North-Eastern Australia. It appeared in Europe a few hundred years ago and adapted to the temperate climate and frosts.
Shea butter is a fantastic vegetable fat obtained from the nut-like fruit of the shea tree (Butyrospermum parkii). The shea tree lives on the savannahs of Central Africa, even without care. It produces its first crop after 15-20 years, which has a fat content of 60-70%. Shea butter is extracted from this by pressing.
The flax seed plant is cultivated in Central Europe as a useful and medicinal plant, which grows 30-80 cm high and has blue flowers. The plant, which belongs to the linseed family, is grown for its fiber and the production of oily linseed. Flaxseeds develop in pods and linseed oil is extracted from them by pressing.

Saving Water Outdoors in the Summer
Summertime activities such as lawn watering, create the peak water use season. The rule of water supply is to build the system with enough capacity to meet the highest demand you’d expect. The highest demand that occurs in summer is 50% to 80% higher than the average demand throughout the year, primarily due to lawn
watering. In order to avoid a disruption of water supply in summer, we must keep a large supply of water on hand, even though we only need it for a few days in the summer. You can help by adopting the practices detailed below.
- Efficient Lawn Watering
- Odd-Even Day Lawn Watering
- Grasscycling U Fertilizing
- Sprinkler timers
- Healthy Lawn Care
Efficient Lawn Watering
Grass in our climate, requires only 2.5 cm. or 1" of water per week, including rainfall to remain healthy. Yet, lawn watering consumes a significant portion of the water we supply. Too much water or fertilizer can cause your lawn to grow beyond the limits of the soil. It can also lead to shallow roots and a lawn unable to cope with hot dry weather. Remember, just 2.5 and your lawn will THRIVE!
Odd-Even Day Lawn Watering
The City’s Outside Water Use Program prescribes an alternate day lawn watering schedule. The Program is designed so that residents who reside at odd numbered addresses can water their lawns on odd numbered days. Likewise, those who reside at even numbered addresses can water their lawns on even numbered days. ("Odd” and "even” days refer to the calendar date, not the day of the week.) In all cases, lawn watering is permitted only between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m., when temperatures are generally cooler and the ground retains moisture most easily
Grasscycling is an easy way to feed your lawn. It saves you time, and helps the Environment. The clippings provide valuable nutrients to your lawn, and by helping to retain moisture, they reduce the need for watering. It’s easier because there is no time spent raking and bagging. You’re helping the environment by not sending
bagged clippings to the landfill. You should mow your grass when it’s dry, and cut no more that 1/3 off the top at each cutting. The ideal height for a lawn is 2 to 3 inches.
Your lawn should be fertilized twice per year; in Fall and Spring. For your Fall application, choose a fertilizer with a low nitrogen level (for example 9-9-9). Although blade or top growth of the grass appears to have stopped, the roots are actively growing right into freeze up. Fertilizing in Fall keeps your lawn healthy through its dormant winter period by building up its root system. The second application in early Spring is to stimulate blade growth. For your Spring fertilizer application, choose a higher level of nitrogen (for example 15-9-9). A lawn fertilized twice a year can have deeper roots, denser growth and greater resistance to weeds, disease and hot weather stress.
Sprinkler timers can save you time and money. Setting up a sprinkler timer can allow you to water at the optimum time, (early in the morning) even if you’re not home. Use a sprinkler that sprays low and delivers large droplets. The higher the spray, the more water lost to evaporation.

A few weeks ago we introduced you to Glory Seeds Farm, a non-profit organic farm that Tyrie has been working with. We’ve now begun work on their new branding. It’s already coming together and looking incredible – we can’t WAIT to share it with you all once we’ve finished.
In the meantime, Tyrie and Elaina have set up a gofundme page to help the farm supplement their feed costs for the next year. With this money, they hope to take care of the many farm and rescue animals that call Glory Seeds home, and free up other funds to complete some much-needed upgrades around the farm.In addition, there is now a Glory Seeds Instagram account (@glory_seeds) where you can meet many of the adorable animals at the farm, there is also a Glory Seeds Amazon wish list to help them get certain supplies for the farm.
If you feel so moved, we encourage you to support Glory Seeds in any way you can: a donation in any amount, a share on your facebook page, a follow on Instagram, or send them something via Amazon. Most of all, we ask that you just help us spread the word about this wonderful charity and their mission.

One of the Cape's oldest farms, De Grendel takes its name from the Dutch word for "gate". The farm was the gateway for travellers headed inland from the Cape. One of South Africa's most prominent politicians and businessmen at the time, Sir David Graaff, purchased the farm in the 1890s. The vineyards and winery are now managed by Sir David's great grandson, De Villiers.
The closest winery to the city centre, De Grendel benefits from cool ocean breezes making its terroir well-suited to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir, among others.

Patagonia, twice the size of California, is one of Argentina's newest wine producing regions, and Rio Negro is at its heart. Located in Argentina's southernmost vineyards, at the end of the world, the valleys of Rio Negro stretch on wide river oases which stand on vast, arid land. It is known to produce fresh wines that truly express wild Patagonia lands.
Our vineyard is located in Fortín Castre, 80 km from Choele Choel, and 150 meters above sea level.
Rio Negro has a dry, continental climate. Annual rainfall is less that 7.5 inches with relatively low humidity. Each season shows a unique expression, with cold winters and warm summers, remarkable sunshine and drastic thermal amplitude. The winds from the southern Andes enhances air quality, and vines stressed by these high winds, combined with intense sun, little rainfall and alluvial soils tend to lead to a naturally acidic, low yield, high concentrated juicy grape.
Patagonia wines have a well-defined personality due to its rich soil and unique terroir. Two meltwater rivers flow from the snowcapped Andes mountain and create a fertile waterbank. The soil is arid, with high levels of minerality.
TRAINING & IRRIGATION METHOD:Vertical Canopy / Drip Irrigation
HIGH DENSITY PLANTING:5.000 Plants Per He.
PERFORMANCE:6,000-8,000 kg per He.
VARIETALS:Malbec / Pinot Noir / Chardonnay / Sauvignon Blanc / Merlot / Cabernet Franc

Food waste in your bin goes to landfill where it decomposes producing methane, a greenhouse gas which is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. In 2016-2017 3.2 million tonnes of food waste ended up in landfill.
Many people think that composting is either too complicated or not achievable in small backyards. However there are methods that produce compost on a small scale using less complicated methods than large composting bays. Four easy methods are using plastic compost bins, compost tumblers, worm farms and Bokashi bins.
Plastic bins are of 2 types: aerobic and anaerobic which use different types of organisms to break down the waste into compost. It is good to have more than one bin so that the compost in one bin is being used while the other bin is being filled.
Anaerobic bins are closed containers with lids as the anaerobic organisms don’t need oxygen. Anaerobic bins are slower at breaking down waste and can smell, but don’t have to be turned and can be rodent-proofed if placed on wire netting.
Aerobic bins have ventilation holes in the sides and sometimes a slotted pipe down the centre so that the compost organisms can access oxygen. They can have an opening at the base to allow access to the finished compost. The process is faster than anaerobic composting. However, it is more difficult to keep rodents out of aerobic bins.
Compost tumblers are metal or plastic barrels on a stand with a handle to turn the barrel. Turning the barrel means the waste breaks down more quickly than in static bins. However the tumbler has to be turned several times a week, the compost can dry out more easily and they are more expensive to buy.
Next blog we will look at composting in an aerobic bin and in a future blog, I will write about worm farms and Bokashi bins.
When you have the information about different composting systems, you can choose the one which will work best in your situation. Our local council subsidises the cost of purchasing aerobic bins, worm farms and Bokashi bins. It may be worth asking your council if they do too!

Barbra’s Vegetable Garden
Barbra’s vegetable garden at her Malibu home is a beautiful example of her personal style juxtaposing with nature. In “My Passion For Design” (2010). To create her veggie garden, she drew a plan for landscape gardener Greg Simms, who created the shape of the beds. She wanted the garden to have natural feel with no straight lines. Barbra keeps the vintage baskets she has collected over the years out in the garden to collect fresh produce. Her garden produces blueberries, plums, watercress, apples, kale, broccoli, tomatoes, oranges, grapes, peaches, raspberries, wild strawberries and far more. Regarding gardening Barbra stated, “When you take a patch of the Earth and grow your own food, you know exactly what you’re eating. We placed our garden where it would get the most sun, because vegetables need the energy of the sun, just like humans.”
Barbra sketched her idea for a vegetable stand, and had her husband James Brolin ask Nick Fortune (his partner at Oak Country Lumber) make it for her. Though Barbra has said “I like to plan meals, I just don’t like to actually cook them..all that effort to cook somehow destroys the experience for me”, she has proven to be quite passionate about her home grown fruit and veggies.

So last year, I got no tomatoes or pumpkins in spite of my efforts. Here I go again.
April 8, 2018: I planted some seeds on April 8, 2018. Just a few things to get started, I planted large tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and sweet peppers and pumpkins into nursery potting cells. Eek, I can’t wait for the little fellas to grow! They are so cute when they are babies.
May 9: Planted a few flower seeds outside – hope it isn’t too early.
May 12. Moved the pumpkin seedlings (with their second set of “real” leaves) into the garden.
May 15: Selected 35 tomatoes sprouted seedlings: 14 large tomato seedlings and 21 cherry tomato seedlings and transplanted into slightly larger single pots. Placed in a sunny window well watered.
I ended up getting a job over the summer and let the garden go a bit. Once it got out of control, that was it. It went a bit wild! Eeeek. Even then though the carrots were great this year. Interestingly, still no pumpkins. Not one. I got many tomatoes though. I didn’t take even one picture! lol

Wild harvesting this nettle was such a beautiful experience of getting back to nature in our urban neighborhood. After washing and hanging our plentiful nettle harvest in the spare room I forgot about it for a few weeks while it dried. Mio was keen (briefly!) to help me to pull the leaves off the stems for storing.
It was messy but such a big harvest, countless cups of tea right there!
The stalks didn't go to waste as I boiled them in a pot of water and made a hair rinse. I poured the warm tea over my head as I leaned over my newly planted tomatoes. The cooked stalks then made it to the compost, so all in all it was a successful multi use harvest with many months of stored nettle leaves to use in tea and soups.

There are many exceptional qualities to hostas but none so striking as red stems (petioles). For me one of the most attractive and interesting features of some varieties. Red stems have become a more commonly sort out feature by plant breeders and collectors with more varieties becoming available every year.
It is so important when growing red stem varieties that thought is taken as to where to plant them. Simply planting them amongst other plants on a flower bed or border is a waste. It is important to raise them up to display such a stunning attribute. Planting on the edge of a raised bed or in a pot is usually the best way to show of the red stems. There are many red stem varieties available on the market today. The majority of red stem varieties are small or medium varieties making them ideal for pots.
With varieties such as 'Red Cadet', 'One Man's Treasure' and 'Harry van de Laar' the red stems are a very key feature with the leaves being rather plain. Hosta 'Red Cadet' is a red stem sport of 'Blue Cadet', a very fast growing and reliable variety. It has waxy blue leaves that are complimented by the beautiful purple red stems. (Below, top 'Red Cadet', bottom left 'One Man's Treasure', bottom right 'Harry van de Laar').
Some varieties have the benefit of interesting foliage and red stems, with some of our favourites being 'Fire Island', 'Raspberry Sundae' and 'Cherry Berry' among others. Fire Island has bright yellow gold leaves with red stems. The yellow and red combination is show stopping. Another similar variety is 'Designer Genes'.
Raspberry Sundae is almost certainly up there with our favourite varieties. It's leaves have pure white centres and a green margin, the red stem come up all the way to the base of the leaf. It's only down side is that it is rather slow growing, but well worth the wait I would say.
Cherry Berry is a lovely little hosta and a variety for begginers, easy to grow and stunning to look at. Cream white leaves with a green margin, red stems are also accompanied by red flower spikes which are truly eye catching. (Below, top 'Raspberry Sundae', bottom left 'Fire Island', bottom right 'Cherry Berry').
With more and more red stem varieties being made available each year they with only get better. It is certainly one of our aspirations to discover and release red stem varieties of our own.
We're at Chelsea 2022
We are currently exhibiting at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Our team at the nursery will continue to get your orders out to you. If you are at the show, do come and say hello!

it's more difficult than most people think to get Mother Nature inside your home. Consider this guide from Designer Vertical Gardens for creating container gardening if you want to create a beautiful indoor garden.
Decide on a style of garden
When gardening indoors, there are generally two types of gardening i.e Container gardening and Hydroponic gardening. In this guide, we will talk about traditional gardening which is called container or pot gardening. Container gardens are a good option for someone who wants to rearrange their plants or want to bring the outdoors in the future. They can grow any kind of plant of any size.
Choose the right space
Selecting an indoor space that can aid in the growth of your plants is very important for creating a good indoor garden. Choose a location with plenty of windows and sunlight; east and west-facing windows are ideal. Place your garden (container or hydroponic) as close to a window as possible to get more heat and sunshine.
- Avoid the room for gardening that has a cold temperature because cold can slow down the growth of your plants.
- Avoid choosing that area that has a fan because it can dry out the plants which are not good.
Properly control the environment
One of the biggest reasons for planting indoor gardening is that we can easily monitor the environment. If done in a proper way, it can make your indoor garden more beautiful. Generally, you're responsible for checking three things i.e air temperature, water frequency, and soil condition. This solely depends on the system of the garden that you're using and on the type of plants you're going to grow in your indoor garden. There are few tools that you can use to control the environment easily.
- Consider using soil heat mats. Most plants prefer soil temperatures of 75– 85 degrees Fahrenheit (24–29 degrees Celsius). Particularly in the winter, you probably don't want your house to be that hot. To solve this problem, you can buy electric mats that can heat pots from the bottom and can regulate the soil temperature.
- Get yourself a drip system. Watering your plants regularly is a difficult habit to develop; instead of setting frequent reminders, invest in a drip system. This works in a way that it provides each plant with a set of small tubes and has a timer that switches the water on and off for a set time each day.
- Choose a proper lighting system. Though windows provide some natural light, still you are responsible for providing your plants with artificial light. Fluorescent light tubes are usually the best choice because they are inexpensive and provide good results. You may also purchase a special heat lamp for growing indoor plants.
Choose your plants
Just like an outside garden, there's a huge variety of plants you can grow inside including vegetables, berries, or herbs. Before going to the nursery and picking a random plant, you have to research properly what plant will grow better in your garden. Some of the indoor plants include:
Vegetables : Lettuce, carrots, peas, and mushrooms, as well as fruits like strawberries.
Herbs: Basil, bay, chives, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon, and thyme.
Flowers : Peace lily, African violet, marigold, begonia, cactus, and succulents.
If you're the one who is up for container gardening, then consider the following guide to learn complete details.
Choose your containers or pots
You have a lot of choices for containers to plant in because you're growing indoors. You may purchase pots from standard garden supplies or can be creative and use old vases or plastic bottles. In either case, consult Designer Pots, we have premium quality pots or planters which are:
✓ Easily Portable
✓ Earth Friendly
✓ Weather Resistant
You don't need a big container to start seeds, but you'll need a container twice the size of the root ball if you're transplanting a plant. Otherwise, search for a container with drainage holes in the rim, or simply drill holes into any container.
Plastic Containers or Pots are your best choice because:
- Plastic containers or pots are the best at retaining moisture, and Designer pots are your most authentic choice.
- You can also try recycling old coffee cans.
- For additional drainage, line the bottom of your container with rocks; if you're using a wooden container then look for one made of redwood or cedar, which are both rot-resistant.
- Avoid using any container that has been handled with chemicals, as this can cause harm to your plant.
Create your potting mix
Unfortunately, you can't simply take a handful of soil from your garden and use it to fill your containers or planters. Outside soil also contains diseases and insects that can destroy your plant over time, and it is rarely the correct sand/clay balance for optimal porousness. Although you can buy pre-made potting mix but making your own can save you money and ensure the consistency of your mix. You'll need 1-part coir peat, 1-part vermiculite, and 2 parts compost to make your potting mix. Both of these can be found at your nearest gardening store.
- Rehydrate the coir peat brick by soaking it; usually, these come with instructions so follow the soaking instructions.
- Mix the coir peat and vermiculite thoroughly before adding the compost.
- Worm castings are a great addition to your soil, add ½-1 cup of worm castings to your mix before planting your containers.
Set up your garden system
You'll need to build a shelving system for your plants if you're planting a big indoor garden. Otherwise, use the guidelines above to choose a location for your container garden. You'll also need to set up your control variables, such as lighting, water, and temperature controls. If you're using a shelving system, hanging fluorescent lights and your drip system on the shelves should be easy. Otherwise, work on your room before all of the components are well adjusted. Heat mats should be installed properly under containers or pots.
- Buy timers for your light source, heat mats, and drip systems to switch them on and off at specific times of the day.
- Remember that different plants need different levels of light so group them appropriately. Put all the light-loving plants together and all the shade loving plants together, and then adjust the light accordingly.
Maintain your plants
You must have to maintain your garden after it has been planted to keep it in a good condition. Ensure that the plants receive enough sunlight and water and that the soil temperature does not fall below 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Celsius). You'll need to transplant your plants into larger pots or split them into more plants as they get too large. You can order your new indoor garden pots by visiting Designer pots. We have a wide range of decorative pots from stone rectangle planters to beautiful fresh flower pots.
- Remove any plants that have brown spots, are wilting, or are dying from the garden to avoid the rest of the garden from disease or pests.
- Every few months, you must have to add compost or fertilizer to the containers to help the plants get the nutrients they need. If you have a drip irrigation system, you can add a liquid fertilizer every few weeks to keep your plants healthy.
- Set your pots in trays of rocks so that the water that drains out will keep them moist as they grow.
We continue our drive towards customer excellence with our highly qualified and experienced horticultural staff, on hand to help with plant-related questions. Create a pretty home for your plants to live in and add heaps of character to your garden with the selection of indoor garden pots and planters. The Designer Pots planters and pots come in a variety of colors, sizes, and materials. So visit the store and grab yours now!

BEAN THERE, DONE THAT
Interestingly, cocoa beans are hidden inside compact pods, snuggling comfortably together in a cocoa cocoon and harvested only at the peak of their ripeness.
The rich taste of the chocolate comes from the Trinitario beans that we use, taking advantage of Trinitario’s full, dynamic flavour characteristics. Cocoa farmers hand harvest the cocoa pods, which contain about 45 individual cocoa beans. To further develop their pronounced cocoa flavour, the farmers have to trigger the fermentation by covering the beans with banana leaves for about five days.
After the cocoa beans are fermented to perfection, they get a little tan in the sun and dry out. Then, after a little TLC, our beans are ready to fully realise their destiny inside a delicious bar of Green & Black’s.

THIS is exactly the kinds of thinking we need to be doing. I’ve said it for a long time that we need to find a way to make fuel out of the things that NO ONE wants and is plentiful. (Kudzu…) Add coffee grounds to the growing list of things that could be a biodiesel source. I know many people use spent coffee grounds as a fertilizer of sorts, but the article reports that they estimate that spent coffee grounds could contribute over 300 million gallons of biodiesel around the world (I assume annually.)
The conversion process taking the oils from the grounds and converting to a biodiesel was cheap, the excess solids can be used as compost and is more stable than traditional biodiesels. Waste coffee grounds contain as much as 20% oil.

There are two ways to comprehend the roots of the plantlife. 1 way would be to look at the idea of biological processes inside the plant. The other way is always to look at the types of plant vegetation and consider the organs that they comprise. At the two areas, there are differences between each of different kinds of crops.

The roots and this plant’s stems are joined to the plant’s fruits life.
Within each of the types of types of vegetation, there are several biological methods which make up the plant’s arrangement. Naturally, a number of these processes are carried out by rodents and other insects, that exist over the categories of different types of crops. However, they are beneficial in this specific procedure.
Biosphere is also an fundamental region of the learning procedure for kids. You will find a number of science experiments that are dedicated to the biological procedures, therefore your kiddies can learn about these procedures and different regions of the biosphere.

11 organic fertilizer options
Much of the gardeners who decides to start planting their own vegetable aims to escape the industrial fertilizer added to food purchased at fairs and supermarkets.
But how to fertilize the soil and improve plant development without the traditional fertilizers? The report of GLOBO RURAL talked with several urban mints, who told us the methods, techniques, and recipes of organic fertilizers that they apply in their gardens:
One of the main animal friends from the garden, the worms are essential in the formation of a healthy soil, rich in nutrients. In a report in the Green Cities section, we show how the journalist Alex Branco, an urban gardener 35 years ago, set up a small- hole to produce humus and natural liquid biofertilizer.
The earthworm nursery is divided into three floors: in the first, the earthworms mix with the earth and with the remains of plants and leaves; In the second, the compounds deposited by the animals are dammed; The third floor stores the liquid that flows from the first three, used by Branco as a liquid biofertilizer.
The natural fertilizer tip of Cau? Azeredo is a solution based on nettles. He recommends harvesting the leaves of the plant and soaking them in a bucket of water for about a week, away from the sun or exposed to very low or very high temperatures. After seven days, Azeredo explains that it is necessary to remove the leaves from the water and dispense them, storing only the liquid, which can be sprayed weekly on the soil and vegetables in the garden. Finally, he reminds us that it is important not to forget to wear gloves when you collect the nettles!
Do not dispense crab shells, shrimp or lobster when lunch or dinner is over. The recommendation is from Mint S?lvia Salles, who has used shells of crustaceans as fertilizer for her garden for almost five years. She recommends opening a hole that is more than 40 cm deep in the soil and allowing the crustacean remains to remain on the ground for about a month. Then it is possible to remove them from the hole and place them on another piece of soil, repeating the process and obtaining the same results. The composting with crustacean shells benefits the land with a large amount of phosphorus and nitrogen.
Remains of fish
The parts of fish not used in meals, such as tails, heads, and entrails, be used to fertilize the soil, especially those in which plants that need a lot of nitrogen, such as corn and tomato, will be planted. The instructions are the same as for crustaceans: dig a hole with at least 40 cm depth and place the fish remains there, blocking the space and planting on top.
The idea of the mint Adalberto Ferrara is to enjoy everything you can in your home garden, made up of pots made with pet bottles and a fenced-in flowerbed with reused pallets. The fertilizer you use also agrees with and this thought. After brewing coffee, Ferrara disposes of the lees around the plants and seedlings of his garden. In addition to ward off slugs and snails, the coffee grounds are rich in phosphorus , potassium and nitrogen. Another option, according to the mint , is to dilute the remains of the coffee beans and create a liquid fertilizer , which can be sprayed once a day in the garden.
When weeding the yard, do not dispense the cut grass. Collect good handfuls and deal with the earth. In addition to leaving the environment greener, the herbs are a rich source of nitrogen. When it decomposes , the newly cut grass enriches the soil in which it was placed with various nutrients beneficial to the development of any vegetable.
Also known as comfrey or comfrey , the Symphytum officinale is rich in magnesium , potassium , phosphorus , and vitamins and minerals different. Cultivating the herb was the alternative that mint Viviana Frezarinni found to produce her own organic fertilizer . After being harvested, she recommends that the leaves be mixed with water – about half a glass of water per leaf – and left in the sun for one to three days. The water is then drained and the leaves applied directly to the soil.
Another product that goes into the trash, but can turn into an important organic fertilizer, since it is rich in calcium and potassium , is the eggshell . Claudio Poletto has used the technique for about three years and says that the method has drastically increased the resistance of plants and decreased the number of malevolent larvae to the development of plants . He recommends that the houses be washed, crushed into minute grains, and added to the surroundings of each seedling .
Rich in potassium , phosphate and trace elements , the wood ash can be effective in increasing the resistance of plants, as well as combating pests . The tip of the mint Camila Fl?r is to mix the ashes – about a quarter of a cup – with a liter of water and spray in the vegetable garden once a month.
The most common method among urban miners , composting is a mixture of nitrogen-rich food and substance debris such as straw , grass and dry leaves . Mint Fabiana Mendes usually grinds the remains of food and mixes it with the substances already mentioned, adding and mixing everything to earth, before planting a new seedling. The mint Leandro Castelli prefers to put the compost on the soil, not inside it, and said to obtain good results with the method.
Another type of organic abound already widely used by urban miners is the dung of herbivorous animals such as cows , sheep and horses . What many people do not know is that animal waste can not be deposited on the land right away. They need to remain mixed and diluted in the water for at least two weeks, exposed to the sun for most of the day, explains the mint Samantha Kusniaruk, who is also trained in botany . After the time quoted above, you can use the liquid generated in the process to spray on the plants, as well as using the tanned manure to fertilize the soil . If the mint adds manure as soon as it is produced by the animal,

If you have three cookies and dinner is five hours away, how slowly should you eat the cookies so that you don’t get dangerously hungry?
This is the kind of calculation that plants do during the night when they are waiting for sunlight to come back on. Here’s a recap from primary school biology: plants generate energy using photosynthesis. During the day they synthesise carbohydrates, such as sugars and starch, from carbon dioxide and water. And they store some of those carbs to feed on while it is dark.
Scientists at the John Innes Centre in the UK have found that plants consume their starch reserves in a cleverer manner than you would expect from an organism that doesn’t have brains. They do this by measuring the starch content in their leaves and the expected time until dawn, and then arithmetically dividing these two to find out how slowly the starch should be consumed. This enables the plants to use up their reserves at a constant rate so that they run out almost precisely at dawn.
“The calculations are precise so that plants prevent starvation but also make the most efficient use of their food,” said metabolical biologist Professor Alison Smith. “If the starch store is used too fast, plants will starve and stop growing during the night. If the store is used too slowly, some of it will be wasted.”
The scientists confirmed that plants are able to adjust their starch consumption rate if night time comes unexpectedly early or late, or if their starch reserves are different than normal due to genetic mutations.
“This is the first concrete example in a fundamental biological process of such a sophisticated arithmetic calculation,” said mathematical modeller Professor Martin.
So, how to these plant mathematics occur within the cell? The researchers turned to mathematical modelling to find this out.
“Since plants are able to adjust the rate of starch degradation according to variations in two independent quantities (the expected time to dawn and the amount of starch present), two separate species of molecule are clearly required,” the authors wrote in the paper published online at eLife.
The researchers hypothesised about these two molecules, marking them S for starch, and T for time. If molecule S stimulates starch consumption while molecule T prevents it, the calculation determining consumption rate is S divided by T. Simple and effective.
“The capacity to perform arithmetic calculation is vital for plant growth and productivity,” professor Smith noted. “Understanding how plants continue to grow in the dark could help unlock new ways to boost crop yield.”
Of course, even mathematically endowed plants are still firmly rooted in the ground, and we probably don’t have to worry about the tiny science hero Arabidopsis thaliana taking over the world any time soon.

“Coming from a poor background, I understand what it means to be needy and not have the means to make ends meet. What motivates me more to work for the service of my community is the desire to change the mindsets and improve the livelihoods of my community members.”
Veranso Benjamen Litika is a field worker from Cameroon. His community is in the Northwest Region of Cameroon and consists mainly of farmers who practice crop production or livestock rearing as their livelihood.
In 2015 he joined the Rural Transformation Center. First as a volunteer and later as a community facilitator. Some of their projects are bee farming, natural medicine, sustainable agriculture, and environmental management projects. One of the main conflicts he faces in his work is to convince farmers to turn away from the abusive use of agrochemicals which they find very difficult.
At ARI, he wants to gain first-hand experience with other cultures, religions, and ways of life. In addition, he wants to gain knowledge on disease control of crops and livestock, from which the farmers back in his community shall benefit.
The mission of the Rural Transformation Center (RTC) – Cameroon is to foster local initiatives of sustainable agricultural production while conserving the natural environment and improving the health and well-being of the community members. Furthermore, through concerted efforts, it promotes values such as sustenance, self-esteem, and freedom. It valorizes indigenous knowledge, resources, and experiences to achieve the mission.

International agricultural symposium AGROSYM 2019
by Jozef Polák
On 3. – 6. October 2019 was held in Jahorina (Bosnia and Herzegovina) the 10th International Agricultural Symposium AGROSYM 2019. This symposium presents a platform for international scientific discussion related to agriculture, food, rural development, environment and forestry. This year more than 1000 papers representing 80 countries of the world were presented in areas of plant production, plant protection and food safety, organic agriculture, environment protection and natural resources management, animal husbandry, rural development and agro-economy, and forestry and agroforestry. The theatre contributions were organized into 10 thematic areas and poster sessions.
In the beginning, prof. Ing. Magdaléna Lacko-Bartošová, CSc. presented her contribution on the topic: “Development and perspectives of organic agriculture- production and economic aspect” as a part of plenary lectures. In addition, the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra was represented within the session Animal Husbandry by scientists and PhD. students from Department of Animal Genetics and Breeding Biology, Department of Animal Husbandry, Department of Animal Nutrition and Department of Veterinary Sciences. During the first part of this session, two papers from KGPB were presented: Genome-wide distribution of autozygosity islands in Slovak Warmblood horse (Ing. Moravčíková) and Genetic diversity and level of admixture in Slovak Spotted cattle (Ing. Lehocká). Within the poster session, the contributions of prof. Radovan Kasarda, prof. Anna Trakovická and Ing. Jozef Bujko were presented. Prof. Kasarda and Ing. Moravčíková were invited to chair Animal Husbandry session.
The Department of Animal Husbandry was represented by doc. Ing. Klára Vavrišínová, CSc., and doc. Mgr. Peter Juhás, PhD., which presented studies from the area of beef quality and pig behaviour under stress. The Department of Animal Nutrition, represented by Ing. Renáta Kolláthová and Ing. Aljoša Janjić, presented the results of their work by two posters. The Department of Veterinary Sciences was represented by Ing. Martina Pšenková, PhD. with a study from the area of the analysis of factors that affect the sheep milk quality.
The results presented during the symposium contribute to the dissemination of knowledge and practice to all actors in the agri-food chain (farmers, extension agents, researchers) as well as to the public about the importance of agriculture and food, one of the most important strategic priorities in many national research programs.

Texas farming could change dramatically pending the outcome of the Nov. 7 Constitutional Amendment Election.
Speaking at the 60th Grimes County Farm Bureau Annual Meeting Oct. 19 in Anderson, associate legislative director in Farm Bureau’s Government Affairs Division, Blake Roach, stressed the importance of passing Proposition 1, aka the Right to Farm.
West Texas-born and East Texas- raised, the Sam Houston State University graduate most recently served as an appointments manager in the Office of Appointments and as a policy advisor in the Budget and Policy Division of the governor’s office where he handled agriculture and natural resource policy matters for Texas Governor Greg Abbott. Before that, Roach worked as an aide in the Texas Governor’s Office and the Texas Attorney General’s Office.
Roach described HJR 126, the Right to Farm, as “one of the biggest issues presented to legislators that they passed.” He also credits passage to Farm Bureau members statewide who talked to their legislators about the issues they face and the importance of right to farm.
Texans’ food security
Explaining Prop 1, Roach said, “This will help normal day-to-day practices that are currently being used by farmers and ranchers in Texas and protect all of our family farms and ranches, large and small. It’s important for a number of reasons. One being that between 1997 and 2017, over 2 million acres of ag land were lost, and by 2043, Texas will add another 13 million people to its population so we’re certainly continuing to grow the state.”
He continued, “It’s important because we have constitutional rights that are here to protect the minority from the majority and this will help small producers that are the least able to fight against the government with a guaranteed protection so the government doesn’t put their operation out of business or come up with regulation that hinders farmers’ ability to produce the goods they produce. It’s important because less than 2% of our population are farmers and ranchers. They are the minority and need to be protected. Protecting farmers and ranchers is also about protecting Texans food security.”
Activists at work
Roach said activist groups like the National Humane Society and the ASCPA have highly organized campaigns and “are trying to dictate how to produce food and fiber and what we eat.”
He continued, “During the legislative session, just as we had our Farm Bureau members, farmers, ranchers and producers in the state capitol speaking about this issue, animal rights organizations were there as well and they were putting out their misinformation.”
Roach cautioned there could be a large voter turnout in urban areas. He said, “Some of the bigger cities and municipalities that are forcing some of these regulations also have some big elections on the same day. It’s really important that not only you, get your family and friends, to speak about this to get everyone out to vote so that we can ensure we have enough votes at the end of the day and our message is resounding and more impactful than some of the big cities around the state.”
Pointing to Missouri, Kansas and neighboring Oklahoma, Roach said, “Don’t take it for granted that this is Texas and it will pass. Oklahoma pushed this and it failed - as rural, conservative and agricultural as it is - because some of the activist organizations got their campaign going and dissuaded all the voters to not vote for the right to farm legislation.”
“Insane” regulations Roach shared examples of city regulatory overreach which included rezoning farmland to exclude ag use, regulating the height of hay fields and pastures as if they were residential lots, a nuisance complaint against a farmer citing dust from harvesting corn, limiting locations where barbed wire can be used, citing a farmer with an ordinance violation for hay left on the ground after harvesting and prohibiting the public mating of livestock. In one case, the city mowed the hay down and then billed the farmer who lost his cash crop.
In the latter case, Roach said, “They require you to build a barn, a no-tell, motel for livestock to mate. Some really insane regulations that some of these cities are enforcing.”
He continued, “The right to farm will guarantee protection that you can continue doing a normal generally accepted ag operation without a city or the state coming up with some burdensome regulation. It will require clear and convincing evidence of imminent danger for them to regulate something and it must prove something will happen, not might happen. It doesn’t prevent a nuisance claim from being filed.”
Prop 1 does not interfere with a state agency or political subdivision’s right to regulate animal abuse, danger to animals or crop product, practices that affect a state’s natural resources and chemical use regulated under federal law. Roach said, “It’s really hard to go against a big city or municipality. Courts have made it impossible to win regulatory takings or to recoup business losses. Small farmers and ranchers can’t afford the time or cost to challenge these regulations. It can put them out of business and operation if they challenge these cases. This will guarantee those protections and require cities to have actual imminent threat of something that will happen for them to regulate it.”

President Gary Moriarty recapped activities of the last 12 months which included board attendance at the Texas Farm Bureau State Convention, the Summer Leadership Conference, the annual Policy Development Meeting and the President’s Conference.
GCFB made donations to the county’s volunteer fire departments and food pantries, $10,000-plus to the youth fair and awarded five $1,000 scholarships to Grimes County high school graduates.
Moriarty said, “If we don’t work with our youth, who else is going to take over our farms and ranches? We’re really involved with our youth. If they need something, we always try to help them.”
After approval of the minutes and treasurer’s report, Thomas Sechelski, Hershel Perry and Gary Moriarty were reelected to the GCFB board of directors.
Attendees enjoyed barbecue prepared by Brac and Brice Jones and received door prizes or meat packages.

Agricultural Products Supply Chain Improvement
Client was an industry group that funds initiatives to improve the agricultural products supply chain to benefit farmers and the ag community. We worked with client to identify and study potential opportunities to add capacity and/or lower supply chain costs.
- Developed multiple small initiatives across several years
- Conducted secondary research and primary research to assess the magnitude of inhibitors and options to improve supply chain, including:
- Waterway locks and dams
- Truck unloading
- Rural rail infrastructure
- Rural intermodal terminal
- Potential use of domestic containers for ag shipments
- Worked collaborately with stakeholders including farmers, major Ag companies, carriers, equipment providers, and government agencies
Profiled and quantified the potential impact of various issues/opportunities. Brought stakeholders together to further refine and implement improvement opportunities.

Polyoxins are natural fungicides originating from microorganisms first discovered by Dr. Saburo Suzuki and his team at the Riken in 1963. They are produced by culturing the actinomycete Streptomyces cacaoi var. asoensis isolated from the soil the area around Mt. Aso in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. Polyoxins are not a single compound; they are a complex consisting of a series of compounds resembling each other in their chemical structure. Currently, 14 different Polyoxin analogues, Polyoxins A through N, have been discovered. Polyoxins have been sold as horticultural fungicides for over 50 years, and they are still widely used today. Polyoxin AL is effective against a wide range of fungi-related diseases such as mildew, gray mold, and other mold fungi diseases that affect vegetables, flowers, and other plants. Polyoxin D zinc salt was categorized as a bio-pesticide after it was recognized as safe for humans and livestock and being completely derived from natural sources through stringent inspections by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It is now widely used in the United States to prevent diseases in lawns and flowers as well as in nuts, fruits, and vegetables.
Synthesized at the Sagami Chemical Research Center and developed by KAKEN, Pentoxazone is an oxazolidinedione-type rice herbicide. In 1997, it was registered as an agrochemical in Japan. Since then, it has been used as an herbicide for paddy rice in its initial formulation and in several mixed formulations based on this initial formulation. Pentoxazone is effective mainly on annual weeds in rice paddies, such as barnyard grass, Lindernia, and Monocholia, and is also widely effective on other weeds including Eleocharis kuroguwai, a perennial weed that is difficult to eradicate. Pentoxazone shows high, stable, and residual efficacy particularly on Lindernia and Monocholia, both of which are resistant to sulfonylurea herbicides. The safety of Pentoxazone is high for rice paddies, and therefore it can be used in a variety of ways. Its initial formulation can be used on rice paddies before or after the rice is transplanted, and its one-shot herbicide formulation can be used at the same time as rice planting. There are also formulations approved for flooding and direct seeding in rice paddies. Having extremely low water solubility and high soil absorbability, Pentoxazone hardly flows out to groundwater and rivers. Furthermore, it has low toxicity to humans, animals, and other living forms. For these reasons, it is an environmentally safe herbicide.
Salinomycin sodium is a polyether antibiotic originally discovered by KAKEN in a culture of Streptomyces albus, a strain of Actinomycetes in 1968. Later, it was developed as a feed additive by KAKEN. Salinomycin sodium is currently the most widely used anti-coccidial for chickens in the world, having effectiveness against Clostridium and other gram-positive bacteria. Produced in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines, Salinomycin sodium is not only used in Japan but is also exported, thus supporting poultry farmers worldwide.
Colistin sulfate is a polypeptide antibiotic that was discovered in 1950 in a culture of Bacillus colistinus taken from the soil in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Colistin sulfate is effective against gram-negative bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella, which are serious pathogens for livestock. Accordingly, there is a great international demand for this product. Therefore, KAKEN also exports this product worldwide.

Summer is the best time to savour island living and spend a day in the country. Along the winding roads of Nanaimo’s Cedar and Yellow Point area you’ll meet cute animals, taste locally grown flavours and pick up unique handmade gifts.
At the other end of the city, you’ll find seasonal produce and more animals to bond with.
There are enough activities to fill a day of country delights.
Start at the Market
If you’re visiting on a Sunday, start your day at the Cedar Farmer’s Market. This market, open mid-May to the end of October has people lining up down the street to enjoy the live music and all things homemade, locally grown, ethically raised and sustainably harvested.
Meet some farmyard friends
Next, head to Yellow Point Farms where you can enjoy a close-up encounter with the adorable baby dwarf goats, babydoll sheep, Kune Kune pigs, mini ponies and chickens. Book a private tour to learn more about the running of the farm and maybe even help feed the baby goats. The roadside farm stand sells delicious blueberries (available frozen out of season too!)
Buzz in to Fredrich’s Honey
Head to Fredrich’s Honey to hear the hum of the bees and see their ‘condo’ hive towers at this farm where the family beekeeping history spans generations and continents. The shop sells honey, salves, lip balms, soaps, and beeswax candles.
Take a break for a bite to eat.
If you’re exploring without children, stop at the Crow and Gate Pub, an olde English-style pub set in stunning gardens. Another great choice for family-friendly eats is the Coco Café where you’ll find a variety of options and friendly service.
Stock up on some locally-grown produce
After lunch, head to Yellow Point Cranberries. One of the suppliers for Ocean Spray cranberry juice, this family farm has a great store where you can pick up jams, dips and treats. In summer, book a tour of the beautiful cranberry fields and hear all about their unique harvesting method.
Just down the road, you’ll find McNab’s Produce Farm and Corn Maze. Stop by the roadside farm stand for fresh veggies on this property that has been farmed by the same family for more than 50 years. Visit the farm animals or, starting in late August, try not to get lost in the corn maze.
Time for more baby animals?
If you have a little more time, head north to Lantzville where you’ll find Superior Farms.
This family-owned farm grows seasonal flowers, veggies and plants. Kids love interacting with the farm’s bunnies and mini animal breeds: cows, horses, pigs and goats while their parents check out some unique offerings in the gift shop.
