I was born in
Zimbabwe (formally ) of British Parents. My father grew roses but as a young adult, my interest was elsewhere! Rhodesia
Sue, my wife, & I met, got married and left
Africa to travel and see the world. During our 5 ½ years in we purchased a house in Biggleswade. This house had 20 Rose bushes in the front garden. In the English climate they looked after themselves and we enjoyed them immensely! England
We moved to
in December 1980 and purchased a house. In trying to create a home – we planted 20 rose bushes the first year – 18 died! Growing roses in the dessert is not the same as in Tempe Arizona ! By the time we sold this home we had about 30 rose bushes – I had figured a few things out! England
In 1993 we built a home and I designed the landscaping around growing roses. By 1997 we had 56 bushes, all with no name tags!
We visited a Home & Garden show and came across a booth on Roses run by the Mesa East Valley Rose Society (MEVRS). I was talked into joining the society to learn how to look after my roses better! MEVRS was hosting a Rose Arrangement workshop run by the duo, Kreg Hill & Bill Christensen, I decided to learn how to make better use of these wonderful roses that I was going to learn how to grow. A local CR, Hall Bradshaw, came over to my home and named all my bushes, I was ready to try exhibiting.
I was hooked after my first show. Today I exhibit Roses in both the horticulture and arrangement section of all the shows in the
area. I have won Queen at the Arizona State Fair in 2005. Phoenix
I grow roses more for putting in arrangements than trying to get the perfect bloom. I take roses to shows to help fill the show floor, to make other roses look good and to share some time with other rose lovers!
I became a Consulting Rosarian in 2001 and started playing with propagating roses in 2003. I do Rose growing seminars at Home Depot, Lowes, through my Employer and through the community college. I am a member of the Rose Focus Group at Mesa Community College where we help look after a rose garden of over 9,000 bushes.
I served on the Board of Directors for MEVRS as VP in-charge of programs, and as President of MEVRS from May 2004 to May 2006. I am the current president of MEVRS.
Today our garden has about 150 rose bushes. I have seven of my own grafted rose bushes on Fortuniana root stock but still no luck with hybridizing. I continue to try.
I enter plant specimens from all parts of my garden at the Arizona State Fair every year. From fruit branches to stemmed flowers, from flowering vines to Roses. My Clematis entry into the Arizona State Fair won Best Horticulture.
Watering and Soil conditioning is a major problem here in
where we get 300 F change in temperature in one day. Automatic watering systems are essential and each bed needs a slightly different plan. These are adjusted monthly. If the soil gets too wet the plants do not thrive from water logged roots that are suffocating and they loose their leaves and look lifeless. If the soil gets too dry they wilt and then begin to loose their leaves. All of the plant material from my garden goes back into my garden in the form of compost or mulch. My rose beds get a 3” layer of mulch every spring. My flower beds get rote-tilled with compost twice a year. Arizona
I try to spend at least 15 minutes a day in the garden. It does not only relax me from the stress of our daily running around but I get to identify problems early, before they escalate. When I travel on business, like 3 weeks in Asia, I have to trust the plants to look after themselves!

Already on its 8th edition, the Philippine Harvest at Central Square has once again celebrated and promoted the richness of Philippine agriculture, now, as a platform to boost farm tourism around the archipelago. Dubbed “Philippine Harvest: Celebration of Philippine Food Destinations,” the four-day food fair organized by the Department of Tourism (DOT), in partnership with the SSI (Stores Specialists, Inc.) Group and Central Square, highlighted culinary destinations like Bicol, Negros Occidental, Cebu, and Davao last June 14-17, 2018 at Central Square Mall, Bonifacio High Street Central, BGC.
The event has also been an avenue for a wide range of exhibitors to highlight Philippine beverages and spirits; Filipino agripreneurs who participated in the 2017 Madrid Fusion Manila; the best French food to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Philippines-France diplomatic ties; and most recently, the world-famous flavors of Spain for Philippine Harvest meets Sabores de Espana
“While I was still with the Department of Agriculture (DA), I was very keen on learning about food and its origin,” said DOT Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat, formerly DA Undersecretary for Agribusiness and Marketing Regional Engagement.
“So almost always, my technical trips to the farms would include meeting the stakeholder farmers, relishing the local cuisine and enjoying their farming stories. Every trip was a learning experience with different landscapes, quaint farm sites, and interesting traditions. These farm sites are must-visit tourist destinations that we encourage everyone to experience.”
The DOT, together with the Central Square and the SSI Group, extended the invitation to farmers, fisher folk, and farm practitioners to come up with an interactive dialogue and local food exhibition.
“The Farm Tourism Development Act of 2016 aims to promote increased awareness on the value of farm tourism through advocacy campaigns and marketing activities, like the Philippine Harvest trade fair,” said Secretary Romulo-Puyat. “We hope that, through events like this, we can urge local and foreign tourists to experience farm tourism in any of the 52 DOT accredited agritourism farm sites.”
Local produce from the 40 local food exhibitors that have been bannered in the recently-concluded gastronomic food fair were Alavar sauce from Zamboanga, dried fish from Bantayan Island, chili peppers for the hot dessert siling labuyo ice cream of Bicol, El Union coffee from La Union, quail eggs, miki noodles and pork belly for the noodle dishes, and Pancit Cabagan and Pancit Batil Patong from the province of Isabela.
SSI Group, Inc. President Anton Huang said, “As we continue to provide lifestyle offerings to our consumers, we at SSI are proud to, once again, showcase the best of what the Philippines has to offer and give our guests another opportunity to appreciate the Philippines’ finest flavors and ingredients at Central Square.”

Like many young aspiring vegetable farmers, Jake didn't grow up on a farm. It wasn't until he was well into a bachelor's degree studying Restoration Ecology at the University of Minnesota he realized his interest in vegetable farming. After graduation, Jake spent five years learning the craft as an apprentice in Connecticut at Fort Hill Farm, in Minnesota at Uproot Farm and in nearby Arkansaw, WI at Hog's Back Farm. Late in 2013, Jake settled back home in the Chippewa Valley and started Square Roots Farm with a plan to produce nutritous fruits and vegetables, using farming practices that protect and nurture the soil as well as the community.
Briana's farming experience spans from her birth onto a sheep farm in southwestern Wisconsin, to her teen and college years working on her family's beef farm, to her current role as a vegetable farmer. Her passion for vegetable production was fostered in urban environments on the UW Eau Claire campus and in the Eau Claire Community Garden. She is now welding her long-time love for farming with her knowledge of vegetable production.

Start living a healthy life by planting a Kitchen Garden
I still remember we used to have our own kitchen garden where we grow fresh tomatoes, coriander and many more fresh green vegetables. Actually our ancestors’ and our senoiur generation were more health and lived more problem free healthy life style. Let me tell you that here are many reasons to grow your own greens. Saving money is one possible goal and concerns about food safety is another. With so much information (and misinformation) about the produce we buy these days, the surest way to know where your produce comes from is to harvest it from your own garden.
The best reason to grow your own herbs and vegetables, however, is simply the satisfaction of eating something that you have coaxed into being with your own bare hands—farm-to-table within the comforts of your own home, so to speak. As city dwellers, it is also a great way to get close to nature and its bounties—especially if you have children and want them to develop a greater appreciation for what they eat.
Study the Sunlight
Start by figuring out how much sun you get at home. Apart from balconies and corridors, study also the spots next to all the windows. You can make use of ledges and counters, and secure vertical gardens onto windows and walls.
Get Creative with Space
Create space by using not just floors and counter surfaces but suspension systems as well. For instance, metal rails across or next to windows can be used for hanging plant pots and planter boxes. A spice rack can also function as a herb garden. If you’re friendly with your neighbours, you can even ask to use some of their corridor space.
Start with the easy Herbs and Plants
Basil, mint, thyme and rosemary, as well as local flavours like laksa leaf and pandan require little maintenance and are pretty easy to grow.
Easy Herbs and Plants
Leek, spring onion, chives, garlic and onion are just some members of the Allium family that can be grown from food scraps. You can also do the same with lemongrass.

The jobs of the future will come from the world-class research happening at the University of Wollongong.
That’s what NSW’s new Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology, Alister Henskens told the Mercury yesterday during a visit to the Illawarra.
Mr Henskens, who is also Minister for Skills and Training, checked out principally the medical-directed research at UOW’s main campus before heading to Wollongong TAFE.
He also dropped by the Innovation Campus where he toured the Institute for Superconducting and Electronic Materials and the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFN) with ANFN head professor Gordon Wallace.
“What we are really encouraging and what we are seeing, is the way in which our world-class researchers are really imagining the industries and the jobs of the future,” Mr Henskens said.
“In an area like the Illawarra, which has been traditionally the manufacturing powerhouse of Australia, there is still always going to be a strong need for steel production and some of the traditional manufacturing here in the Illawarra but the jobs of the future are going to be coming out of this world-class research that is happening here at the University of Wollongong.
“We as a government are encouraging those industries and jobs of the future.
“This is where there is this great potential for partnership between our university sector, but also our traditional skills and training sectors to come together so that we’ve got advanced manufacturing, so that we have these industries and jobs of the future happening as quickly as possible here in the Illawarra.”
Mr Henskens said he was glad his first visit outside Sydney as Minister for Science, Innovation and Technology, was to the Illawarra.
“It is incredibly important for equality of opportunity throughout our state, that we have strong regional universities like UOW giving equal access to opportunity to all people,” he said.

“I feel like I’m doing a good thing for the world. I have four kids. I want to model that this is what adults who care about the world do. They decide that they are going to make the world a better place and then they make the world a better place.”
Chef/Farmer Eric Skokan, owner of the Black Cat Bistro in Boulder, Colorado.
I found myself unexpectedly in Boulder for tango and an economics conference a few months ago. I prayed there would be some decent organic food to enjoy. And that is how I discovered the Black Cat Bistro.
The Black Cat Bistro boasted of mostly organic farm to fork “Front Range” cuisine, rooted in produce unique to the local forests, fields and mountains. Surprisingly, however, the restaurant was about as local as local gets, and was sourcing produce from its own fields - a farm that included sheep, pigs, geese, turkeys and chicken spread out over 130 acres of land. How in the world can a husband and wife team, with four kids, run a farm and a restaurant for over a decade, I wondered, when any one of those factors could be the straw that broke the business? For answers, I turned to the source: owner/executive chef/farmer Eric Skokan.
Natalie Pace: Did you grow all of the food that is being served tonight?
Eric Skokan: The rule that Jill and I have is that if we can grow it, we’ll try our best to. The greens are us. Every vegetable that you’ve seen is us.
NP: How important is sustainability to your operation?
ES: I purchased a set of harvest and transport boxes seven years ago. I still use them. We use and reuse the same totes over and over again.
Click here to read the rest of my interview with Chef Skokan on Huffington Post.
Natalie Pace is the co-creator of the Earth Gratitude Project and the author of The Power of 8 Billion: It's Up to Us, The ABCs of Money, The ABCs of Money for College, The Gratitude Game and Put Your Money Where Your Heart Is. She is a repeat guest & speaker on national news shows and stages. She has been ranked the No. 1 stock picker, above over 830 A-list pundits, by an independent tracking agency, and has been saving homes and nest eggs since 1999.

If you go to a juice bar, it can be at least $2-5$ per ounce of wheatgrass juice! That’s freaking expensive! Instead, you can buy a few trays, some seeds, and you can grow your own for less than $1 per ounce.
Growing your own wheatgrass can sound kind of intimidating, but it’s actually quite simple. This method can be used for growing wheatgrass indoors or outdoors.
You’re going to need:
- 2 Trays with holes
- 1 Tray without holes
- Spray bottle
- Wheatgrass Juicer
First, you sprout the seeds.
Decide how much you want to grow and how many seeds you will need. For simplicity’s sake, I will give an example with using 2 cups of seeds. If you are using 2 cups of seeds, then you will want to use about 4 cups of water. If you are only using 1 cup of seeds, then use 2 cups of water.
Anyways, put your seeds and water in a bowl and let it sit overnight. After they have been soaking long enough, drain and rinse your seeds in a colander. Allow them to sit in the colander for about a day and a half. Make sure to rinse the seeds every 4-5 hours so they don’t grow mold.
After the seeds have sprouted, you are ready for your trays. As you may have guessed, you put the tray without holes underneath the tray with holes to catch all of the excess water from the other tray. You can put some rocks underneath the tray to give it some room for the water.
After you have the trays ready, it’s time to put in the soil. You can use any soil really, it doesn’t matter what kind of soil you use. You’ll want the soil to be about an inch thick. Add a little bit of water to the soil so it’s slightly moist. Make sure it’s all even as well.
It’s time to add the seeds! Evenly spread out the seeds so they are all touching, but aren’t stacked up on top of each other. It’s nice to have a spray bottle handy when growing wheatgrass, it evenly distributes a light amount of water to all of the seeds to where it’s not too much water and not too little.
When you are done with the seeds, lightly mist them with a spray bottle to help keep them moist. Next, you are ready for your other tray with holes. This tray will act like a lid to the wheatgrass. Turn the tray upside-down and set it on top of your wheatgrass tray. It needs to be dark the first few days of growing. Once the grass starts growing a couple inches, you may take off the lid.
As the wheatgrass is growing, water it once every morning and mist it every night with your spray bottle. Once it has grown 7-8 inches, it’s ready to harvest! Most people like to use some scissors to cut the wheatgrass as closely to the soil as possible. There are also a lot of kits online that you can use to grow your own wheatgrass. Below I’ve posted a video that shows a good example of juicing your wheatgrass and a lot of information about wheatgrass. Plus, he’s kind of entertaining to listen to. Happy Growing!

How to grow your very own Kratom supply?There are a number regarding reasons why people would want to grow kratom plants at home. Some people make company out of it while some folks look at an unlimited and free of cost supply for their kratom needs. Both ends are very well served once the vegetation is given proper care as well as grown efficiently.
With a number of people’s experiences you need to know how and why your kratom grow may not be growing how you want it to. Normally, a baby kratom plant is bought in plant shops to ensure that one does not have to wait much longer for the seed products and stems to develop. The baby plant when shifted into the home pot is expected to cultivate faster since all the care is being given water and proper sunlight. However, this does not happen very often. A number of the plants wither out and the causes tend to be unknown to individual who is trying to grow all of them.
What to do when the kratom crops simply refuse to expand normal? There are a number regarding reasons why a baby kratom would not grow and soon enough would curl up into dry leaves and wither out entirely. The right thing to do is always to focus on the amount of gentle that is being given to the baby plants. Generally, baby plants require sunlight all day long this really is not possible at night. Without sufficient light the plant may wither out there but if you are providing excessive light, it won’t be a problem. The key is to supply maximum light to the baby plant rather than deprive it with the light at all. If you're giving it a full serving of sunlight 10 it’s good otherwise a minimum lack of light will cause it to die off.
As experienced by several kratom growers, the best way is to use fluorescent lamps at night or as soon as the mild is unavailable. In the event you keep your potted place under the sunlight available in air it could do a lot helpful to them but as shortly as the light garden sheds away, bring in the particular plants or use fluorescent lamps lit up all night outside a garden. It is nearly not necessarily smart to use neon lights lit up out in the garden therefore it is advisable that the plants become grown in One gallon pots and stay placed inside the house exactly where sunlight is available all day long while it lasts.
Furthermore, you should check on the fertility of the soil where the plants have been purchased. The soil manufactured by nurseries usually are not as rich for the baby kratom as they should be so you can make use of essential compounds through the help of professional veteran growers who would inform you the substances and their right quantity to mix in the soil to make it favorable for best kratom vendors. Once you are following these kinds of, you are sure to have enough kratom offer at your personal degree.

Olive oil (olio d’oliva)
Ian writes: as one of the largest producers of olive oil in the world, the olive harvest in Italy is now in full-swing. In Tuscany, Umbria and especially Puglia, huge swathes of olive groves dominate the countryside. Very sensibly, Pugliese farmers wait for the fruit to fall from the trees, whilst in Tuscany/Umbria pickers tend to don some protective glasses and shin-up ladders to get them off the trees.
Picking techniques notwithstanding, the crop is ideally whisked off to the mill on the same day, with the first pressing ready for consumption that evening – drizzled over some toasted bread. The bright green peppery oil looses some of its pungency as time progresses, so if you’re interested in tasting it ‘straight off the tree’, grab a cheap flight and sample one of the finest of Italy’s many food exports first hand. The following selection of Essential Italy properties are the perfect base to let you do just that:

Abstract about cherry fruit
Cherries are one of the most delicious and popular fruits. This fruit is sweet and juicy, small and in colors from yellow to reddish black. The core of the cherry is very firm and small, surrounded by flesh. The cherry season is early July and late May. The height of the cherry tree is between 6 and 9 meters
Cherries are from the Golsorkhian genus and are native to southeastern Europe and western Asia. The cherries probably originated in the region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Some cherry cultivars are self-incompatible and others are incompatible and require pollinating cultivars. For this purpose, pollinator cultivars in the ratio of 1 to 9 and even half to half are used. Cherry Prunus avium belongs to the Rosaceae family.
Cherries, like peaches and tomatoes, have false branches that must be removed when pruning. Because false branches or chiffon contain only reproductive buds and have vegetative buds at the top of the branch.
Iran is the third largest producer of cherries in the world
About 18 million tons of cherries are produced annually in the world, with Iran being the third largest producer of this seeded fruit in the world with an annual production of 200,000 tons.
Soil suitable for planting cherries.

It’s harvest time, for grapes that is. The grape harvest (vendange) in France can start as early as August and finish as late as the end of October depending on how ripe the grapes are and which region they’re in. During just under three months, a frenzy of activity takes place in the 750,000 hectares of vineyards in France. And before we know it, this year’s Beaujolais Nouveau will be uncorked.
In this post we delve into the history and ceremony of grape harvesting in France. Plus list some of the best wine harvest festivals taking place throughout the wine-growing regions in autumn.
A brief history of wine in France
With almost 3,000 different types of wine grown in vineyards throughout the country, France is one of the leading nations for fine wines, champagnes and liqueurs. And the French have certainly had time to learn a thing or two about wine production since the Romans were the first to grow vines for wine in France, probably as early as the 6th century BC.
After the decline of the Roman empire and the rise of Catholicism, wine in France grew in importance. Medieval religious orders began to hold a strong influence over the production of wine and perfected techniques to create the perfect taste. In the Middle Ages, the region of Bordeaux with its handy seaports became the wine capital of the world and was the purveyor of wines to most of Europe’s monarchs.
Other wine-producing regions then joined Bordeaux in the country’s huge output. Despite a rollercoaster of climatic, economic and natural ups and downs over the years, France remains the global leader of wine exports. Even within the very varied world of wine with huge competition from Spain and Italy as well as from the new world wine producing destinations of Australia, New Zealand and California, France is considered the leader of the pack and a benchmark for the world wine industry.
The wine harvest and grape picking in France
Grape harvest dates
The grape harvest counts as the highlight of the wine producing year. The cutting of the carefully nurtured fruit marks the end to a year of hard work. Actual dates for the harvest, however, depend on the area and the weather conditions during the previous spring and summer.
In the summer, local wine experts carefully examine the grapes 100 days after the vine flowered. Depending on the size and appearance of the grape, they set a date for the harvest. It’s then up to the local council to give authorisation to halt the grape-picking ban that is in place during the rest of the year.
In the hottest parts of France such as Corsica, the Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence, the grape harvest generally starts at the end of August. Beaujolais and the southern Vallée du Rhône quickly follow suit. By the middle of September, the rest of the Vallée du Rhône, Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Loire Valley start their grape harvest. Alsace and Champagne generally join the grape picking at the end of September leaving Charentes, Cognac and Lorraine for the beginning of October.
But in practice, a lot depends on the weather conditions. This year, 2017, vineyards in France basked in a heatwave in the summer. The hot and dry conditions brought the grape harvest forward and Champagne began picking grapes on 25 August with Beaujolais just a few days later.
However, severe frost in April and general lack of rain have reduced the 2017 grape crop. Some experts are predicting the smallest since 1945. But the summer heat helped to keep pests and diseases from the vines, improving grape quality. This points to the possibility of an exceptional year for French wine even if there will be less of it. Let the battle for the best commence!
Pick your own grapes
Nowadays, sophisticated machines do a fair amount of the picking, but the vineyards producing grands crus (the highest quality French wine) still harvest by hand. Cutting the thousands (and thousands) of kilos of grapes from the vines requires lots of extra hands and every year armies of seasonal workers descend on vineyards to take part. You can choose to pick the grapes (coupeur) or carry the baskets (porteur). The 1 to 2-week contracts involve back-breaking work so you need to be reasonably fit.
When to pick wine grapes
There’s an art to deciding when a grapevine is ready to be picked. A few days too early or too late can make a difference to the end result. Unsurprisingly, taste is the best way to measure if a grapevine is ready to be picked. Grapes should be sweet in taste and show no sign of becoming shrivelled, which happens when they begin to overdevelop. Grapes should also look colourful and plump.
Once the decision has been made to pick the grapes, the harvest needs to happen quickly. Grapes keep best in the cool so picking is best done in the very early morning or, if it’s hot during the day, at night. Once off the vine, they should be taken as quickly as possible to the grape presses or kept in a cool place.
Grape picking festivals
France holds a number of festivals to mark the beginning of the wine harvest. Some have been going for decades while others are more recent additions to the French wine calendar. But they all share their appeal to both locals and tourists in droves. Here’s our round-up of the best:
Festivini Festival of Food and Wine in Saumur on the Loire heralds the start of the grape harvest at the beginning of September with 10 days of celebrating the best of the area’s wine and food. Concerts, vineyard tours and river cruises take place daily, although the highlight of the festival is the pairing menu served every evening in participating restaurants.
The Grape Harvest Proclamation in Saint Emilion (Ban des Vendanges de la Jurade de Saint Emilion) takes place in mid-September in one of the most hallowed spots for wine in France. The village of Saint Emilion, in the Bordeaux region, not only produces some of the best French wines but holds the seat of the area’s oldest wine guild, founded in 1199. A solemn parade of local wine producers and the priest make their way through the village to declare the harvest season open.
The Wine Pressing Festival (Fête de la Pressé) takes place during the third weekend of September in the village of Chenôve in the Côte d’Or region of Burgundy. Highlights include watching the traditional grape pressing in the Dukes of Burgundy’s ancestral machines and then trying the bourru juice that flows from the first pressing.
The Montmartre Grape Harvest Festival (Fête Des Vendanges) probably counts as the most famous wine harvest festival. The small hilltop neighbourhood in Paris has been growing vines for centuries and the celebration of the annual grape picking is one of the most popular events in France. Now in its 84th year, the festival takes place in mid-October and honours the wine of the Clos Montmartre vineyard through exhibitions, concerts, parades, and of course, wine tastings.
Banyuls sur Mer Grape Harvest Festival in the very south-west of France in the Languedoc-Roussillon region celebrates its wine harvest in mid-October too. The week-long celebrations include seaside wine tastings and barbecues, and concerts that culminate when the grape harvest is brought into the village by boats.
The Fete du Vin Bourru in Burgundy is also hugely popular and takes place from 21-22 October. This celebration allows visitors to try the newly fermented wine from local vineyards, based in this fiercely passionate wine region. Take a picnic in the vines, enjoy a concert in the winery, or tickle your tastebuds with samples straight from the cellar.
And no list of wine festivals in France would be complete without the Nouveau Beaujolais Festival (Fête du Beaujolais Nouveau), a national event. At midnight on the third Thursday in November, the first bottles of the year’s new wine are uncorked to the cheer of “Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!” All of France celebrates the uncorking but the heart of festivities happens in the village of Beaujeu itself where wine tastings go hand in hand with vineyard visits, torchlight parades and fireworks.
Your very own French wine festival
You don’t have to wait till the autumn to celebrate French wines. All our hotel barge cruises offer the very best of French wines on board. And many give you the chance to visit wine cellars and vineyards – some not open to the general public – in the main wine producing regions during your cruise. All you have to do is pick your date!
PS: Please be aware that September and October are not the best months to choose for wine tours and tastings – they are actually too busy getting the harvest in to entertain visitors.

Food crisis is zfro just a problem in India. We have given the solution. Green Revolution had polluted the land, water, environment and human health also. They made the judicial system so complicated that it will take years to get the justice and money will flow continuously from village to cities. Sixty years have passed. But this is not true.
Zero Budget Spiritual Farming
When I discussed this with agricultural scientists, they, too, agreed with this. That means if they want to increase their wealth then they have to robbed or subhash palekar zero budget farming someone. I had some specific questions for the vice chancellor and director of research: In my technology, not a single gram of manure is utilised.
How can you say that the cow is related to any specific religion? They knew whether the convict is guilty or not, whether he is virtuous or criminal. Sincewhile practising the chemical farming, his agricultural production was continuously increasing.

They are, because it is now time. Our lands have been fertile before the Green Revolution and our ancestors were farmers. But after learning chemical farming in the college, he started chemical farming in his farm. If there is a law, then someone will be punished.

How will future generations survive?
How can a farmer be accused of a darming when he or she is buying or selling his or her own cattle? We have totally avoided these questions from our movement. Do you think this will solve it?
Subhash Palekar – Wikipedia
Therefore he embarked on a research on the natural growth of forest trees to fully understand the phenomenon. However, this package is forcing the farmers towards suicide instead of restricting it.

Mozambique: Fruit Processing
A fruit processing factory should begin operations in December in the southern Mozambican province of Inhambane, the Provincial Director of Agriculture, Pedro Zucula, has told AIM.
Although a wide variety of fruit grows abundantly in Mozambique, most of the tinned fruit, jams, preserves and fruit juice consumed in the country is currently imported, mainly from South Africa.
Work on the new factory began in the first quarter of this year.
Zucula said the factory is budgeted at 700,000 euros (almost a million US dollars). The money comes from the government's own Agricultural Promotion Fund.
Economy, Business and Finance
Zucula said that, when working at full capacity, the factory will be able to process five tonnes of fruit an hour.
The fruit grown in Inhambane includes mangoes, pineapples, oranges and tangerines. Zucula said that every year the province produces about 150,000 tonnes of citrus fruit, planted over an area of 10,000 hectares.
He believed that many other species of fruit trees can be grown in the province, if the land is made available. Recently 250 hectares has been allocated to pineapple production, and it is expected to produce 20 tonnes of the fruit per hectare.

Herb Gardening: Easy As 1-2-3!
Herbs are wonderful plants with benefits - they can be planted in pots, raised beds, or garden beds. To grow they need sunshine, water, and soil...and some occasional TLC.
Pots work well for those with limited space or for convenience. Choose a vessel with good drainage; add potting soil or organic mix and your favorite herbs. In large pots you can put several different varieties together - like parsley, rosemary, and thyme. No worries they will all grow happily in harmony! Or, plant them individually in repurposed containers to add interest to your garden...just make sure it has adequate drainage.
Choose a bright sunny place...one that gets sun for at - least 6 hours during the day. However, with lots of sunshine will come drying of soil, so make sure you check the soil for moisture after a long hot day. Tip - water the soil not the plant!
Let the soil dry out between waterings - fertilize once a week during the summer to keep nutrients in the soil and plants growing strong. Don't water the leaves especially in the sunshine - it will cause sunburn.
Make cuttings from the ends and top of the plant - you can pinch, use sharp scissors, or a knife. Never take more than a quarter of the branch and it will continue to grow out - the more you pinch the more they grow!
Check zones on herbs - some will winter well and some will be too tender to survive winters in upstate NY. Planting herbs in a bed? The same rules go: sunshine, well drained rich soil, and water as needed. Mix and match plants, explore new and exciting varieties, or stick to your tried and true favorites to create the perfect set of planted herbs. Think Spring!

BM Volunteer MeetUp in DC | Recap
Black Minimalists held our first official meetup Saturday, September 23rd in Washington, D.C. It was a great opportunity to meet some folks from our community and the neighborhood, support urban farmers and their communities, and learn about sustainable agriculture.
Soilful City was founded by native Washingtonian, Xavier Brown, with the goal of healing our communities through the intersections of urban farming, sustainability, and African Diasporic culture. We first learned about Soilful and other black farmers in the DC area via Blavity and our founder, Yolanda, had a chance to meet Xavier and work at the River Terrace Community Organization’s Fall Garden Volunteer Day.
We were also introduced to Hustlaz 2 Harvesters through Xavier. It is an organization of returning citizens committed to affecting change in their communities in DC through farming. They harvest a variety of foods including zucchini, okra, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. Their Forest Pippin fish peppers were used to make a delicious hot sauce we tasted and they hope to sell it cooperatively soon.
In addition to the awesome time we spent building the compost bin and harvesting fish peppers, this event was also special for us because it was the first time the BM team members were together in-person. We came from Kansas, Maryland, New York, and South Carolina to be together. Let’s just say there was lots of laughter and truth-sharing and the time we spent together reinforced our team bond and sistahood. We can’t wait for our next meetup!

This is a very busy week in the life of the school. The children in year six will spend the week sitting their national assessment tests. I am incredibly proud of the determination and effort which they have shown in revising for the tests and we all wish them well.
As the weather improves the children are busy planting and growing around school. The gardening club have begun their preparations for the Yorkshire Show Veg Box entry and will welcome Mr Groves on Monday afternoon to help them with their planting programme. . Wensleydale Class have tidied the courtyard raised bed and Bishopdale have been planting their potatoes and lettuce seeds. You will also have seen Mr Gibbons preparing the area at the front of the school with will be sown with wildflower seeds. The rest of the school are also busy planting potatoes and sunflower seeds to grow during the summer term.
On Tuesday we look forward to welcoming the team from St John’s who will be leading our worship.
Finally I am delighted to be able to announce that the school has been awarded it’s Bronze level Healthy School’s North Yorkshire Award. The school was congratulated for the quality of it’s submission. Special thanks to Mrs Norman for her hard work in coordinating the school’s application. The new award will feature on future newsletters.
The photos below our new quality mark show children gardening around school.

Grow Your Seed Quickly With Seed Germination Tips
When you want to make your home look beautiful, you could plant some plantations in your house as a decoration that will make your house complete. Although you could actually purchase a plant that is already grown, but if you are up for a challenge then you could try to grow it on your own so you can see the beauty of the plant.
Seed germination tips about the meaning of germination process:
In order for you to grow your own plants you will need some seeds, and in order to have this seed to grow it would need to germinate so it can grow from the germ state to more mature plant. But in order for you to be able to do the germination process quickly then you would need some of our seed germination tips.
Seed germination tips: About the types of germination process:
The growth of the seed from the germ to a more mature plant is done in two types of processes. This type of process depends of the plant growth itself so you would not be able to choose which type of germination process that you want to use.
The first type of germination is the epigeal germination process where the germination process happens above the surface. The second type is called the hypogeal germination process where the germination process would happened below the surface.
But you should not have to worry because no matter what type of germination process that your plant has, you could still use our seed germination tips.
Grow your seed quickly with seed germination tips:
There are many kinds of thing that you could do to grow your seed quickly such as:
- Seed germination tips choosing seed: When you want to grow any seed, you should always choose the seed that is suitable with the season that you have right now so it will be able to grow quickly unless you grow the seed inside of your greenhouse.
- Seed germination tips best soil: To grow your seed you will need to use the best soil, one soil that you could use is an aerated soil that has a loose form such as peat moss, avoid using soils that are hard, and the soil should always be fluffy and light weighted.
- Seed germination tips plant your seed: When you are ready to plant your seed you should always know which of the two germination process that the seed will go through. This is important so you will know how deep to plant the seeds so the seed would be able to grow well.
- Seed germination tips water your seed: Your seed will need some water in the germination process where it will be absorbed to make the seed soften and the starch is converted into sugar.
- Seed germination tips heat your seed: The seed will also need some heat for it to grow and the best heat source is the sunlight, but you could always use a fluorescent light bulb to grow your seed. The seed will need at least twelve hours of heat.

Natural habitat for our birds, bees, and butterflies has been shrinking as human habitat grows. By integrating native plants back into our environment, we can restore habitat for these essential species. This is something that everyone can do, and where every action, big or small, moves us in the right direction.
From balcony planter boxes to large backyard rain gardens, here are some essential things to know about native plants.
What to plant?
Check out the Minnesota DNR’s Plant Encyclopedia for information on what to plant in your area.
Where to get seeds and other supplies?
When to plant?
Native seeds are best planted either in the fall, between mid-October and freeze-up, or in the spring, sometime between the last frost and July 1.
Wild, native seeds tend to germinate better when exposed to some cold, damp conditions, so don’t worry about starting them inside.
You can learn more about when, where, and how to plant native species from this Useful brochure from the Minnesota DNR.
Why choose native?
The importance of native plants for pollinators
Native plants go into flower exactly when local pollinator species need them as a source of nectar. They’ve co-evolved over millennia in a way that non-native plants can’t match.
Native plants are much more resilient to heat, cold, drought, and other extremes than non-native species, meaning that they’ll be there for pollinators even in bad growing seasons.
Native plants can thrive without the use of pesticides and other chemicals, meaning that they provide a clean, healthy food source to pollinators.

As the sun rises on April 1st, we find ourselves at the threshold of an unofficial new year. Spring is in full bloom, reminding us of the cycles of renewal and growth that nature so gracefully exhibits. Today, I invite you to embrace this spirit of rejuvenation not just as a concept but as a practical step towards personal growth and environmental stewardship. Let’s talk about planting seeds—literally and metaphorically.
The Power of Planting Seeds
Planting a seed is an act of faith and a commitment to the future. It's a belief in the potential of a tiny, seemingly insignificant object to grow into something beautiful and life-sustaining. This act, simple yet profound, mirrors the steps we take in our lives toward achieving personal growth and contributing to a greener planet.
For the Earth
Gardening, even on the smallest scale, connects us with the earth. It teaches us patience, care, and the importance of nurturing our environment. Whether you have a garden, a balcony, or just a windowsill, planting something can contribute to your well-being and the health of our planet.
- Start Small: Herb gardens, succulents, or a single tomato plant—choose something that fits your space and lifestyle.
- Educate Yourself: Learn about the plants that thrive in your climate. Understanding what they need to flourish can make your gardening journey more rewarding.
- Sustainability: Consider composting and using eco-friendly gardening practices. Every little bit helps in making our world greener.
For the Soul
The metaphorical aspect of planting seeds is equally important. What are the seeds you want to plant in your life? Is it a new skill, a project, or perhaps a habit that leads to a healthier lifestyle?
- Set Intention: Like choosing a seed to plant in the soil, decide on the aspects of your life you wish to nurture and grow.
- Be Patient: Just as plants need time to grow, your personal projects and growth will require patience. Celebrate small victories along the way.
- Nurture: Provide your projects and personal growth with the resources they need. Whether it’s time, education, or emotional support, make sure your seeds have the best chance to flourish.
Embrace the New Beginnings
April first stands as a reminder that it’s never too late to start anew. Let’s take this opportunity to plant seeds in our gardens and in our lives. Share your journey, your successes, and even your challenges. Together, we can grow a community that supports each other and our planet.
As we move forward, remember that every day is a chance for renewal and growth. Let’s make every day an April first.

Incredible Edible Lambeth
The start of a new year will lead many of us to think of adopting healthier lifestyles and seeking new opportunities. Healthy living implies not only exercise but healthy eating, access to good quality food, and by extension, a healthy environment. So what happens when healthy eating becomes the basis of change and strength in communities? It goes without saying that food brings people together, so can growing food do the same?
The story of Incredible Edible started back in Todmorden, 2009. A group of volunteers and locals got together to share their hopes and dreams for their town. They concluded that the best solution for disconnected communities was to bring people together by growing food. That small meeting has now created a global movement centred on the effort to re-localise the food system, with 100 member-groups in the UK alone. We wanted to see how this huge project worked at a local level, so we checked out Incredible Edible Lambeth in London.
If you were to imagine Incredible Edible Lambeth as a culinary experience it would have three courses. For starters, people are brought together as a community and encouraged to look at places in their locality which can be transformed into spaces where food could be grown. The main course is seasoned with the seeds of knowledge. Incredible Edible, in terms of their big overarching project, are devoted to recovering the science of food growing and in Lambeth they support food growing projects in local schools as well as partnerships with local food banks. And for dessert, well the cherry on top is that little piquant flavour that ties the dish together, and for Incredible Edible Lambeth that’s bringing in local businesses, supporting the local food economy, and bringing food-growers and shop-keepers into a closer relationship. The best part about this meal? Everyone has a space at the table!
One innovative way Incredible Edible Lambeth are documenting their work and keeping a track of all their projects is through the use of their map of the local area. They update this map regularly and it lists all the food-growing projects and local businesses they work with in one easy to navigate digital map. You can check it out here.
Incredible Edible Lambeth are also great event organisers, hosting regular get-togethers as well as seed swaps where all attendees are guaranteed to leave with a small packet of seeds to encourage them to grow their own food. If you are thinking of getting involved in something new this year, start with Incredible Edible.

Gardening isn’t always easy. Here are three vertical vegetable garden tips that help you grow more food in less space.
There is nothing quite like biting into a freshly picked tomato while it is still warm from the summer sun. Or creating a salad from just-picked greens. When you grow your own vegetable garden, you can experience this little piece of heaven all season long.
Extend the season with some simple techniques and you can enjoy it even longer.
However, growing an abundant supply of fresh vegetables year after year takes some practice. It’s really not as easy as it looks! For most people, becoming a consistently successful vegetable gardener comes after years of hands-on experience. I want to share some tips that let you much more quickly implement a bit of vertical gardening and grow more food in less space.
A Vertical Vegetable Garden Requires That You Amend Your Soil
Few gardeners are blessed with an abundant supply of beautiful, rich topsoil. Depending on where you live, you may find yourself struggling with heavy clay, rocky, sandy or other less-than-ideal soil conditions.
Each of these soil types presents different challenges ranging from retaining too much water (or not enough) to being devoid of the essential nutrients plants need to survive and thrive.
For example, if you have heavy clay soil and you just dig a hole in the ground and drop a plant into it, chances are very, very good that plant won’t make it. The heavy clay around your plant will act like a bathtub whenever it rains, which means your plant will be forced to sit in a pool of water with nowhere to drain.
Here in the Canadian Maritimes, we get rain, rain, rain and where you find a damp, rainy climate you will almost always find acidic soil. Amending our soil with lime every year or two is not really optional– unless we raise the pH, we can grow nothing except blueberries. (Blueberries are wonderful, but you certainly can’t live on them!)
So your first step will be to identify the type of soil you have so you can take the appropriate steps to amend it. Once you know what you are dealing with, you’ll be able to determine which specific amendments are needed to amend your type of soil.
However, don’t forget the power of compost. Yes – simple, old-fashioned rotted organic matter.
Any garden benefits from compost, but a vertical vegetable garden makes intensive use of the soil and needs it even more. Luckily, you can make organic compost at home with your own kitchen and yard waste. Make use of worms to turn your garbage into compost even in a small space.
While mulch isn’t necessarily a soil amendment, I urge you to make lavish use of it. There are many options, depending on what you have available. I mulch everything very heavily with old barn hay, which holds in the moisture, provides habitat for predatory insects and prevents soil erosion.
My children know that “hay around a plant helps it but hay on top of a plant kills it” so that they will give the vegetables a cozy bed but smother the weeds.
Once you have these vegetables, what do you do with them? You need a cookbook made for homesteaders and home gardeners!
A Cabin Full of Food is packed with almost 1000 "Grandma recipes", the ones you thought were lost forever, and makes scratch cooking easy enough for even a beginner. Simple ingredients from garden or farm, simply prepared and preserved in your own home. Cook like Grandma, save like Grandma!

A Vertical Vegetable Garden Means Growing Up!
Your plants, not you personally! Whenever possible, make sure you take advantage of vertical space in your garden by utilizing fences, trellises, and other structures to keep your plants off the ground.
There are many advantages to growing your vegetables vertically. For starters, you can grow more food in a smaller area, which is great for urban gardens or those with limited growing space. Not only can you grow food up a trellis or other support, there are containers like the Garden Tower that let you grow up to fifty plants in a compact area.
Plus, growing vegetables on structural supports makes harvesting and weeding around your plants a lot easier. This is especially true for older individuals or those with other physical restrictions because less bending and stretching is required to perform these tasks. And don’t overlook the benefits of raised beds. They can be as high as necessary (just fill the bottom with drainage material instead of garden soil).
Growing vertically benefits your vegetable plants, too. Raising the plants off the ground leads to better air circulation around them, which is associated with fewer fungal infections and pest infestations. Isn’t it great when something is better for us and it’s better for the plants, too?
When You Do Vertical Gardening, Give Your Plants Friends
Companion planting is a smart way to increase the yield of your vegetable garden. Learning which plants work well together is an important step towards maximizing the efficiency of your vegetable garden. It also provides a level of easy organic weed control and pest control.
It’s not just on your stovetop that tomatoes and basil go together – tuck basil plants around your tomato vines.
Some plants are particularly beneficial to one another, so it makes sense to group these plants together in your garden. These beneficial plant combinations may add needed nutrients to the soil, deter unwanted pests or attract beneficial insects into your garden.
You may have heard how Native Americans planted “the three sisters” – maize (corn), beans and squash – together because each plant benefitted the others in some way. For example, the corn stalks provided structure for the beans to grow upon, while the squash provided an effective weed barrier as it spread out along the ground. This is one example of companion planting, but there are so many more. I like to plant lettuce around the base of tomato plants – the lettuce provides a living mulch while the tomato shades the baby lettuce. After I remove the lettuce, I add hay.
Vegetable gardening is an acquired skill that evolves over time and I’ll admit that I am always learning. I figure I will be for years to come! However, applying these three must-know vegetable gardening tips will lessen your learning curve significantly.0

ekoroof product information
Our Ekoroof tile is made from recycled agricultural plastic that is normally used by farms to protect their crops. If you think back to the last time you saw a field that was recently planted, you may have noticed long sheets of plastic covering a vast area of the field. These plastic sheets help to protect the young crops from extreme heat and sunlight, and also help to maintain the moisture content of the soil constant, as well as helping to keep pests out and minimize the use of pesticides. Another application for this plastic is in the form of bags. A translucent bag will be placed around a new fruit on the tree. The fruit will grow inside the bag, achieving the same goals as the plastic sheets laid on the ground.
A great majority of the plastic used in agriculture is not reusable. The plastic sheets laid on the ground are torn by the growing crops or during harvest. Bags are also ripped and torn when the fruits are harvested.
Recycling this film is very difficult because after use, the material is contaminated with plant matter, soil, water, fertilizers, and pesticides. It must first be washed and cleaned thoroughly, dried, and processed into pellets - a costly process.
Some recycling facilities don't accept this agricultural plastic waste because they do not have the necessary equipment to process it. Thus, it is sometimes stockpiled, dumped, buried, or illegally burned - in each case causing tremendous harmful waste.
High-quality, purpose-engineered Ekoroof plastic tile!
We have developed and patented a way to effectively process agricultural films in just a few, simple and integrated steps! The plastic is then mixed with several additives that make up our patented formula, and shaped in the form of classic Spanish Tile.
Ekoroof plastic tile has been tested by independent laboratories in order to conform to the strictest quality standards required by the Miami-Dade (Florida) building and HVHZ (hurricane) code.
As Ekoroof is very light, the product can be installed on just about any roof, without modification to the roofing structure at your home or business. The installation process is very quick and easy.
These color chips are intended to be very close representations of the colors we can produce. Though the match is almost exact, due to differences between computer monitors, printers, and the recycled content of our tile, we cannot guarantee a 100% exact match to the colors shown. Click the image for a high-resolution PDF version. (opens in a new tab)
Most any color not shown here can be produced by special order. We can also blend two colors together, although there are minimum quantity requirements for custom color orders.
Since we know that your home is an object of pride, Ekoroof also offers a limited 50 year warranty for your peace of mind. We will care for your home's roof as if we lived under it.

A healthy, cared-for lawn is like every homeowner’s dream. It not only makes the yard aesthetically appealing but also plays a significant role in raising its property value. Besides, who wouldn’t want a well maintained consistent looking yard all year round. Without careful fertilization, your lawn will start losing its density and slowly, but surely the root system will also weaken over time. This article will help you get an overview of all the necessary fertilizers you need and its proper usage to keep your lawn healthy and luscious green. There are various top lawn fertilizers and best lawn sprinklers for low water pressure that can help in gardening.
What Type of Fertilizer to Choose, and How Much?
Firstly, it’s essential to know your grass and yard requirements. If your lawn is fresh and already in good shape, then fertilizing it once a year is more than enough. For larger lawn areas, 3-4 times of application is necessary every year. The top lawn fertilizers have the perfect blend of all the required nutrients.
It is now coming to the part of picking the right nutrients for the grass. For choosing the right food for your grass, its essential to know the three primary nutrients for the plant’s benefit.
Nitrogen – The most important and essential nutrient out of all three nutrients is Nitrogen. It promotes thicker and faster growth and plays a specific role in the development process. If there is a nitrogen deficit in the soil, the plants will fail in producing protein and amino acids, which is essential for their sustainability. However, over-usage might contribute to excessive weed growth.
Phosphorous – New blooming plants require phosphorus for cell generation. The phosphorus bonds link the plant’s DNA and RNA structures together. This essential nutrient captures and converts the sun’s energy into useful plant compounds, which acts as a booster for quick seed growth. Unfortunately, it leads to algae formation and underwater contamination if you are overdoing it. So keep it in check while applying on the lawn.
Potassium – This third nutrient helps the grass to fight against extreme cold winter or dry weather conditions. It acts as a soil conditioner by triggering growth-related enzymes and attributes to healthy plant production.
Lawn Fertilizer Selection
Perfect lawn fertilizer is a blend of 10:6:4 ratio of these three vital nutrients along with sand or clay. Now that you know about all the critical nutrients in plants, let’s focus on the different types of fertilizers in the market. Plant fertilizers come in two necessary forms- Organic, Synthetic.
Organic fertilizers are the safest option if you have kids or pets running around in the backyard. These natural fertilizers are biodegradable, environment friendly, and are free from harsh toxic chemicals. Although it costs a little more than synthetic fertilizers, it is still great for improving the quality and structure of the soil. As a result of which there are less soil erosion and low chances of chemical buildups, which can be deadly for plants.
Synthetic fertilizers are an excellent choice for providing useful nutrients for plants, which are lacking proper care. It mainly comes in water, either soluble or granulated forms. The grains are to be sprinkled or mixed into the soil before new seeds are planted into the lawn.
Some apply the mixture around the base of the plant to provide sufficient nutrients to each plant as required. Its a slow-release yet an effective method of enhancing the quality of the plants. On the other hand, water-soluble fertilizers are more into fast action, but it requires frequent applications. Blend the fertilizer with any crop protection products to prevent it from burning or discoloring the plants. You can apply the liquid fertilizer with the help of a spray bottle or sprinklers if you have them installed on the lawn.
Just get the lawn sprinkler for low water pressure and give it a go. These types of fertilizers can sometimes leach into the soil contributing to water pollution and endangerment of water species. So keep the usage in check as a preventive measure. If you are still confused, refer to the top lawn fertilizers on the internet for more information.

Groningen-based horticulture start-up receives 2 million for developing biodegradable foam substrate
Groningen 29 July 2019 - The start-up Foamplant has successfully raised capital from the venture capital funds SHIFT Invest and Future Food Fund. Their 2 million euro investment is intended for the development and commercialization of a biodegradable horticultural foam substrate: Growfoam. In addition, this investment will enable further product development of biodegradable technical foams.
Growfoam is already available on the market. It is a plant substrate - a nutrient layer - developed for the cultivation of young plants from seed or cuttings. The foam substrate is dimensionally stable and offers a completely clean substrate thanks to its defined composition of biopolymers and natural additives. Growfoam does not contain peat, as opposed to conventional growth substrate. A large amount of CO2 is released during the combustion of peat.
Innovative breeding ground for cultivating young plants, with less environmental impact
The Groningen-based startup can fully control the air and water capacity of the substrate. As a result, each crop gets the nutrient soil that fits best. We call this crop-specific. "The horticultural industry has been delivering world-class performance using sustainable innovative technology for years. Thanks to Growfoam we now enable growers to take cultivation technology to a higher level at substrate level as well," says Martin Tietema, CEO of Foamplant. "A level at which the planet is also spared a little more".
A perfect alternative
"Growers are looking for high quality growing substrates with minimal environmental impact. By combining the best properties from organic and mineral cultivation media in a well-defined foam substrate, Foamplant offers growers a perfect alternative," says Tijl Hoefnagels, partner at Future Food Fund. "Therefore, Foamplant is a good match with our mission to support innovative technology that contributes positively to the future of the agri-food sector".
Biodegradable substrate foam as a standard
Foamplant's mission is to provide safe, clean and biodegradable technical plant substrate / foams for everyone and in all applications. Thanks to its platform technology, the Groningen-based start-up produces foams with properties equal to conventional foams, such as flexible polyurethane foam. With this, the team behind Foamplant wants to firmly commit to a new standard in which biodegradable foams are the norm.
Pioneer in sustainability
"Foamplant is a pioneer in biodegradable plant substrates. In doing so, Foamplant makes a valuable contribution to making the agro-horti sector more sustainable. We explicitly invest for the difference this can make for the environment and look forward to supporting Foamplant in the rapid roll-out of this impact innovation," says Janneke Bik, partner at SHIFT Invest.
Both Janneke Bik and Tijl Hoefnagels confirm: "The skills of the team make it possible to adapt quickly to the wishes of customers".
Growfoam was founded in 2015 as a spin-off of the biobased technology cluster KNN Group and is managed by Martin Tietema, Vincent van Assen, Martijn Beljaars and Wilfred Roo. "We look forward to further unlocking the potential of Foamplant together with Future Food Fund and SHIFT Invest. Both funds now offer us the right support to enable rapid growth", says Tietema.

I love food – fresh-picked strawberries, corn on the cob, freshly baked bread with a crispy crust… My mom grew up on a small, family farm in southeast Wisconsin. My uncles still farms that same land, so I appreciate the land and where our food comes from. My own small garden makes me realize how much work goes into growing food but also how amazing that fresh food can taste. What I do worry about is the impact of our modern agriculture system on the land with its mass-scale, reliance on fertilizers and pesticides, impacts to water quality, and use of fossil fuels.
With all that energy and time going into food production in this country, up to 40% of the food in the United States is actually never eaten (according to the National Resources Defense Council). At the same time, one in eight Americans do not have enough food to put on their tables. To Carry the Earth, I committed to having zero food waste for 10 days. According to the EPA, reducing food waste saves money, reduces methane emissions from landfills, and prevents pollution in the growing, manufacturing, transporting and selling of food.
I diligently composted, planned meals, creatively used leftovers, and reduced my family’s portion sizes. What I learned was that it was HARD! There were lingering ghosts of outdated food in my fridge (why does salad dressing come in such big containers?!); there are only so many of my daughter’s sandwich crusts I can eat; and some leftovers manage to hide themselves in fridge (I’m looking at you, black beans!). While I wasn’t perfect for those 10 days, it left a lasting mark. Since then, I am much more diligent about food waste. As we head into the summer and gardening season, I will make sure to enjoy all the fruits (and vegetables) of our efforts rather than letting it go to waste.

Autumn: Celebrate the harvest
As the combines and harvesters roll closer to harvest, an abundance of annual autumn events mark up the calendar.
Husker Harvest Days, the world’s largest totally irrigated farm show, draws people from all over the country every September, and on its heels people pull trailers in from afar to pick through treasures during Nebraska’s Junk Jaunt.
The annual Harvest of Harmony Parade features more than 75 marching bands early in October, and Doniphan Fall Festival holds a parade of its own on the same day. Families make their way out to the pumpkin patches north of Grand Island not just to choose the biggest pumpkin in the patch, but to feed the animals and fly down slides and zip lines.
Average Autumn High: 64° Fahrenheit
Average Autumn Low: 39° Fahrenheit

Powders made of exotic berries, roots, and leaves, are of increasing interest in the health realm. The beauty of these soft portable creations is that they contain vital nutrients, preserved in the powdered form of the plant through a process of freeze-drying, cold temperature pressing, or other careful processing.
The appeal of these powders is that they contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants – among other components – that promote healing and prevent inflammation and aging in the body, as well as provide energy and essential fuel for optimal cellular function.
Minerals and vitamins and other important components of plant food were more plentiful prior to our current farming practices. Agricultural farming has been influenced by the scientific theory that plants need only three essential ingredients to grow – nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium – and thus fertilizer using only these three ingredients has been preferred in commercial farming of food crops. Prior to the use of the three-ingredient fertilizer, farmers used organic material to fertilize their crops, that contained numerous minerals. This may explain why commercially grown food is larger but less flavourful, than organically grown food, which may be smaller but is more nutrient dense, which also explains its richer flavour. Studies by Dr. Linus Pauling supported his belief that most, if not all, illness, could be traced to a nutrient deficiency. Although this claim could seem extreme, there may be some truth in the lack of adequate nutrients in our soil, and therefore our food. Dr. Linus Pauling did win two Nobel Peace prizes for his work.
In 1936, the USA government reported that 70% of its top soil used in agricultural farming, was trace mineral deficient. In 1992, the Rio Earth Summit concluded that “there is deep concern of over continuing major declines in the mineral values in farm and range soils throughout the world”. This was based on data showing that, over the last 100 years, average mineral levels in agricultural soils had decreased in Europe, Asia, and North America, by 72%, 76%, and 85%, respectively. Donald Davis and his team of researchers at the University of Texas found declines in over 53 fruits and vegetables of protein, phosphorus, calcium, iron, vitamin C, and riboflavin, from 1950 to 1999 (Davis et al, 2004, Journal of the American College of Nutrition). The results have been replicated in other studies (Esther G, 2011, Scientific American).
Thus, our current food contains many less minerals and vitamins, and other important components, than is needed for optimal function. As a result, our bodies are therefore deplete of necessary minerals and nutrients.
Minerals are needed by the human body to aid in the absorption of nutrients. For example, calcium is better absorbed if there is magnesium present. Minerals also activate enzymes needed to break down our foods. There are seventeen trace minerals considered essential to mammal nutrition, and these trace minerals act either as co-enzymes or as an essential part of enzyme structures.
Above: nutrient poor (left) versus rich (right) soil. Source: Lakeforest College.
So, the question becomes, where do we get these needed minerals and nutrients, while we await farming practices to increasingly use sustainable and organic methods?
Martin Hum recommends sea vegetables, eating organic, supplements, growing your own food, and advocating for agricultural change. Added to this, and expanding on the supplement category, is the inclusion of superfoods in a daily diet. Superfoods contain significantly high amounts of numerous nutrients. One example is shilajit, rich in minerals. A substance produced from the Himalayan mountain range in liquid form, shilajit is transported as either a resin or a powder, and contains over 85 minerals. Healing properties ascribed to it include treatment of pain disorders, digestive difficulties, and cognitive support. In 2012, the International Journal of Alzheimers Disease published an article alluding to possible precognitive abilities, potentially preventing cognitive decline to tau accumulation in the brain.* Other examples of super foods include acerola cherry, yacon root, mesquite, lucuma, maqui berry. For more on these, see Plants.
Foods grown in remote regions untouched by agricultural chemicals are also rich in nutrients. If you enjoy chocolate, whether as a treat, a pick me up, or as a ceremonial experience, Giddy Yoyo and Wise One Superfoods chocolates both state their contents have been sourced in volcanic soils or forest soils rich with minerals and vitamins, in all organic and fair trade processes.
During a time when our earth is being challenged, relatively untouched areas are being invaded and exploited for money and power rather than nurtured and celebrated for the rare treasures of plant and animal life they contain, we need to nourish our bodies and spirits with optimal energy. One way to do so, is to choose sources of nutrients and minerals that will clarify thinking, support physical energy, enhance mood, and energize the body and mind to engage in the world in a way that enhances the life of our planet, and the beauties of rock, plant, and animal forms that each person can take a step to protect.
*Wild harvested shilajit can be found at Eternal Abundance, Commercial Drive, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

What Is Required Even Though Planting A Bit Of Veggies?
Ø Moist from the soil
The most matter to see While intending to cultivate some other fruit or vegetable or any further food contaminants is always to check perhaps the dirt has enough damp or never. Otherwise,however numerous plants have been planted, they could keep perishing whilst the soil will not have the traction to hold onto them.
Ø Proper sunlight arrangement
A plant requires sun to Prepare its food items and also develop; with sunlight, a plant will probably die in an afternoon or 2.
If one is planning to Develop into a suitable Gardener, you requires some equipment to create that come about.

I had mixed results with the heirloom tomato varieties I grew last year. Some, like Red Siberian and a nameless grape tomato from a neighbor, performed very well, with high yields throughout a long season. Others performed terribly: Speckled Roman was overwhelmed with blossom end rot even with supplemental calcium and Tigerella and Green Zebra produced a scant handful of fruits. So, in mid-January, I started twelve different varieties of tomatoes, two from saved seed and ten from various vendors.
When I saved the seeds, I didn’t bother with an elaborate fermentation process (see GardenWeb for a how-to on tomato seed fermentation). I just squeezed the seeds directly from the tomatoes onto a sturdy, dye-free paper towel (Bounty brand), smeared them across the paper towel to break the seeds free from the jelly surrounding them, and allowed them to air-dry, gunk and all, at room temperature for about two days. I then folded up the seeds (now firmly stuck to the paper towel) and stored them double-bagged in Ziploc freezer bags in the refrigerator. When it was time to plant the seeds, I tore off bits of the paper towel with the seed attached (to avoid damaging the seed) and planted the paper towel and seed together.
This is the first year I’ve kept track of seedling success rates (number of seeds that grow to cotyledon stage). The sample size is small (two to four varieties per vendor, plus two saved varieties), but the results were striking:
At least under my greenhouse conditions, only a third or so of the seeds from commercial vendors grew into seedlings, while more than 90% of saved seeds were viable. The sample size isn’t statistically significant, but I believe the trend: I’ll be saving more tomato seeds this year.

Leaf wound compounds -
In nature reactions often happen very fast. Common methods of analyzing compounds released when leaves are wounded do not have the capability to monitor reactions of the plants in a time resolution high enough to reveal underlying reaction sequences. Leaf wounding and the subsequent interactions between animals and plants can be analyzed in real time without the loss of precious information on the details, using our PTR-
Scientists (Dr. Ted Turlings, Dr. Matthias Held, Université de Neuchâtel) have shown that plants under attack from caterpillars, release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Volicitin in the saliva of caterpillars induces defense genes leading to the formation of indole and other VOCs which attract wasps. The wasps use the caterpillars in their reproduction cycle and by that, do a favor to the plants.

In the realm of nutrition, pulses take center stage as humble yet potent sources of essential nutrients. These edible seeds of legumes, encompassing a variety of beans, lentils, and peas, have been a dietary staple across cultures for centuries. Packed with protein, fiber, and an array of vitamins and minerals, pulses play a crucial role in promoting health and well-being.
Rich in Plant-Based Protein: A Nutritional Powerhouse
Pulses stand out as an excellent source of plant-based protein, making them an indispensable component of vegetarian and vegan diets. With protein content comparable to meat, pulses provide essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair, immune function, and overall cellular health. Incorporating pulses into one’s diet offers a sustainable and nutritious alternative to animal-derived proteins.
Dietary Fiber for Digestive Health: A Natural Regulator
The high fiber content in pulses contributes significantly to digestive health. Fiber aids in regulating bowel movements, preventing constipation, and promoting a healthy gut microbiome. Additionally, the soluble fiber found in pulses helps manage cholesterol levels, offering cardiovascular benefits and reducing the risk of heart-related ailments.
Micronutrient Treasure Troves: A Multivitamin in Every Bite
Pulses boast an impressive array of vitamins and minerals crucial for various bodily functions. Rich in iron, zinc, magnesium, and B-vitamins, pulses support energy metabolism, immune function, and the formation of red blood cells. The diverse nutrient profile of pulses makes them an ideal dietary inclusion for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.
Blood Sugar Regulation: A Boon for Diabetics
The low glycemic index of pulses makes them an excellent choice for individuals managing diabetes or those seeking to stabilize blood sugar levels. The gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream helps prevent spikes and crashes, providing a sustained and steady source of energy. This characteristic makes pulses an invaluable addition to diabetic-friendly diets.
Sustainable Agriculture: Pulses for a Healthier Planet
Beyond their nutritional benefits, pulses contribute to sustainable agriculture. Their ability to fix nitrogen in the soil enhances soil fertility, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. The cultivation of pulses also requires less water compared to some other crops, making them environmentally friendly and contributing to the overall health of the planet.
Versatility in Culinary Delights: From Soups to Snacks
Pulses’s culinary versatility is a chef’s delight. From hearty lentil soups to chickpea-based snacks and savory bean stews, pulses can be incorporated into an array of dishes. Their ability to absorb flavors makes them adaptable to various cuisines, ensuring that individuals can enjoy both the health benefits and the gastronomic pleasures they offer.
As awareness of the importance of plant-based diets and sustainable eating practices grows, pulses stand out as nutritional powerhouses that align with these principles. Whether embraced for their protein punch, fiber richness, or role in sustainable agriculture, pulses showcase their multifaceted contributions to our health and the well-being of the planet.

Respect and protect the rights of the Agro-food workers
Make EU agriculture and food systems more sustainable and just
Europe needs a fair, transparent, and sustainable food supply chain that can benefit everyone. In recent decades, there has been an increased process of consolidation on both the distribution and production side of the agri-food chain. This has created major imbalances giving a few large multinationals and retailers excessive power over the global food supply chain. These imbalances in the food chain have major impacts on the most vulnerable ones, namely agricultural and food workers, as well as small farmers.
COVID-19 has dramatically reminded us about the fragility and strategic importance of agriculture and food production. While in the beginning of the pandemic some governments in the EU went desperate to counteract labour shortages, to ensure food supply and food security in Europe, it became clearer to all how essential Agro-Food workers in Europe are.
Labour shortages in agriculture are not only the result of travel and border restrictions, but they are above all a long-term consequence of the unacceptable working and employment conditions that characterise the agriculture sector in Europe, with over 4 million agricultural workers working under illegal or informal conditions.
Agro-Food workers, that were classified essential during this current Covid-19 pandemic, have shown astounding dedication and resilience during these difficult times providing Europe with food. However, despite this new consideration, evidence shows that their living and working conditions remain poor in several Member States, with many employers still failing to provide workers with adequate protection from the risk of infection. With their daily work, they also contribute to the environmental sustainability of our agro-food system, tackling hydrogeological instability, land degradation and soil erosion. Their role is vital also for the preservation of rural areas.
The EU has now the chance to rethink the European agro-food sector, making it more sustainable and fairer for all actors, including the most vulnerable ones.
Effective initiatives, including binding measures are urgently needed to raise labour and social standards of agro-food worker.
EU agriculture and food system must become more sustainable and respect workers’ rights both in law and in practice.
On the World Food Day EFFAT reiterates its top demands for Agro-Food workers:
- A more social Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) that provides the end of CAP subsidies for employers not respecting workers’ rights and not complying with applicable working conditions resulting from relevant collective agreements as well as EU and national social and labour law as well as ILO Conventions (see EFFAT demands EN – FR – DE – ES )
- Address the imbalances in the food supply chain and uphold respect for workers’ dignity (See EFFAT demands on F2F and EFFAT demands on raising standards in the meat sector)
Download the full statement here
On World Food Day, October 16, 2020, the IUF is calling for a trade union and human rights based approach for agricultural and food workers to be the basis of global food security policies. These policies must recognize them as essential/critical workers for global food security and resilient food supply chains. Agricultural and food workers, including migrant workers, must have the same labour and human rights as workers in industry/commerce.

Bear Creek Landscapes & Design provides these guidelines to help ensure the landscaping we install thrives on your property. The information provided below is a guideline for watering your plants. Please refer to any specific instructions provided to you or contact us if you have questions.
Spring and Fall: The first week the plants are in the ground water 3 times a week. The second week the plants are in the ground water 2 times a week. The third week, water one time a week. Continue watering the plants once a week for the first 6 months the plants are in the ground.
Summer: The first two weeks the plants are in the ground water 3 times a week. The third and fourth weeks, water 2 times a week. The fifth week, water once a week. Continue watering the plants once a week for the first 6 months the plants are in the ground.
Winter: For the first 6 months water once a week provided that the ground is not frozen.
Year Round Guidelines
- The first 6 months are the most critical. The first year to three years are important in that during any hot and/or dry periods, supplemental water should be provided.
- Turf irrigation will NOT provide sufficient water to plant material.
- 1 to 1 ½ inches of rainfall occurring in a day substitutes as one watering.
- To gauge how much water to give, use a rain gauge set next to your plant and a showerhead-watering wand. Make passes across the rain gauge as you water the root ball area of the plant. You can stop when it reaches 1 ½ inches. Or, give each plant 1 gallon of water per foot in height (i.e. for a 5’ tall tree, use 5 gallons of water).
- Less frequent, deep waterings are healthier for plants than frequent shallow waterings.
- Slow waterings are more effective. The water penetrates the soil better and there is less runoff.
- A 2” plus layer of mulch at the root zone of a tree or shrub will help to conserve moisture. Be sure to keep the mulch off the trunk.
- Do not get water on the leaves during mid-day. This could lead to sun scorch. Try to water in the morning or late afternoon. It is a good idea to hose plant leaves off from time to time to help spray off potential pest problems but doing so too often can lead to fungal diseases that can be spread by splashing water.
- Prior to extended periods of nighttime freezing temperatures water root systems in thoroughly to avoid the roots from freezing while dry which can permanently damage or kill plant material.
- Perrenials & annuals have a shallow root system and require more frequent waterings. The frequency will depend on whether they are planted in containers or in the ground.
Bear Creek Landscapes & Design offers a 1-year warranty from the date of installation for all plant material (excluding annuals) that we install provided the watering guidelines are followed. Lack of water, damage incurred by insect pests, and/or extreme weather occurrences may void this warranty and each situation will be taken into consideration on a case-by-case basis. At the first sign of any insect damage or problems, please contact the Bear Creek Landscapes & Design office. Our staff will assist with correcting the problem or direct you to someone who can. Our goal is to help make your planting a success. If you have questions, Call us at (931) 840-0030 or (615) 913-7384 or fill out our contact form.

Lesson 1 - The Realities of CSA Produce
Congrats on successfully ordering your CSA box!
You've helped a farmer and they're sending you their wonderful produce. Let's make sure everyone's on the same page by going over a few expectations you should have about the food you're receiving.
Photo: Organic garlic vs. standard market garlic (likely imported from China). Although smaller, the organic garlic is locally grown, supports Thai farmers, and the flavor is stronger.
Here are 3 important factors to consider when storing and cooking your organic CSA goods:
1) Shorter Shelf Life
The majority of the CSA boxes we recommend feature organic produce. The trade off for healthier, safer produce is that it may have a shorter shelf life than vegetables you normally consume. Be ready to adapt and find ways to store ingredients if you don't have plans to use right away.
- Meal Prep - Making meals for the week in advance? Make space in the refrigerator before your box arrives. Try to schedule your weekly prep on the same day or day after your produce arrives.
- To Eat List - Keep the list of fruit and vegetables you ordered on the fridge or somewhere you can see them easily. As you cook, tick of the things you were able to consume, to keep anything from going to waste.
- Share - Have too many delicious mangoes? Don't forget you can share with neighbors and friends. If you have family or good friends nearby, you can even split the cost of your box by sharing ingredients. Be sure to mention of the shelf life of the ingredients when you do.
2) Perfectly Imperfect Produce
We have all become accustomed to the beautiful, perfect vegetables we see in fresh markets and on the shelves in supermarkets. With the convenience of how we shop today, often we are required to have little or no relationship with the farmers who grow our food.
The loss of this relationship has been detrimental to both farmers and consumer. Furthermore, those beautiful vegetables we're buying are a mirage!
The natural result of growing vegetable without dangerous chemicals should be biodiversity in the plants themselves and the environment. When we examine our organic produce, we may find they have varied shapes, colors, or may be smaller than you expected.
This can be disconcerting at first, but we like to remind everyone that if you're prepared, all of these realities are positives for your health:
- Seasonal - Adding a little adventure to your experience, you shouldn't expect to get the same products all the time. There are some market based CSA programs where you can order specific produce, but we really encourage you to choose a program where the farmers have as much flexibility as possible.
- Bugs - Want proof you're getting organic produce? Look no further than the occasional caterpillar or other bug on your leafy greens. Holes or nibbles on the leaves themselves are further evidence of your farmers insistence of providing you safe food to eat.
- Surprising Ingredients - Think of each CSA box as an adventure. You'll have some surprising ingredients that you may not know exactly how to use. However, we're confident for those willing, this is a great way to learn more about Thai food, culture, and nutrition.
3) Farm Shares
Photo: A wing bean vine at a Thai farm.
Wondering why people struggle so much with CSA boxes initially? This may because we misunderstand the dynamic CSA boxes were meant to create between farmers and the public. Your purchase is most like a farm share investment. Just like business investments, when the farm is bountiful, you benefit with a variety of vegetables.
In return the farmer is shielded financially, especially from forces out of their control (global warming, natural disaster, price fluctuations, etc). Your support may help pay loans, feed families, or expand crops.
However when summers are too hot, winters are too cold, and a myriad of other obstacles, the quality of produce we receive may be impacted. This may be purely cosmetic, or mean a certain fruit or vegetables become unavailable entirely. While the changes in what may be available can be challenging, this is when farmers need our support the most!
- When farmers are supported, everyone wins
- Subscriptions are the best CSA format for helping farmers
- Consumers need to be flexible and strive to understand the challenges of organic farming
If that analogy doesn't work for you, the most important thing you should understand is that as a consumer, you need to be flexible to better support farmers, and work to better understand the challenges they may face.

Agriculture depends on improved varieties, and varieties are developed by breeding appropriate plants. Unfortunately, applied plant breeding programs that focus on cereal crop crops are seriously eroded by lack of funding.
The loss of public support affects the continuity of education, objectivity, and perhaps equally important, the future training of plant breeders and the use and improvement of plant genetic resources for the time being. Education programs should focus not only on short-term research objectives but also on the long-term genetic improvement of germplasm.
Research products for breeding programs are important not only for food security but also for public and private commodity-oriented programs, especially in crop production margins. The breeding strategies used for long-term selection are often neglected, but the fact is that long-term research is essential for the success of short-term products.
An excellent example is that generic genetically modified genotypes have been largely used and recycled by the industry, generating billions of dollars for industry and farmers before intellectual property rights are available. Successful examples of sustainable production have served to produce the sustainable grain harvest we currently have.
The fact that farmers rely on public and private educational institutions to solve long-term challenges for policymakers to reverse this trend of reduced funding must be affected. Cooperation between industry and public institutions will be an example.
The objective of this volume is to increase the use of beneficial genetic resources and increase awareness of the relative value and impact of plant breeding and biotechnology. This should lead to more sustainable crops and food security in the end.
Applied plant breeding will continue to be the basis for molecular markers. The concentration of beneficial molecular techniques on the right traits will build a strong link between the genome and plant breeding and lead to new and better varieties.
More than ever, there is a need for better communication and cooperation among scientists in the fields of plant breeding and biotechnology. We have an opportunity to significantly boost agricultural production by applying the results of this research to meet the growing demand for food security and environmental conservation.
Ensuring strong plant breeding programs applied with the successful application of molecular markers will be essential in ensuring the sustainable use of plant genetic resources.

|Its latin name is Cassia Senna and Senna Obtusifolia. It is also known as Chinese Senna.
The leaves, seeds and roots of the plant are all used for different purposes.The plant is always confused with Senna Tora and this is why it has over 6 English names. The plant is picked and reaped in the autumn and left in the sun to dry. It has a bittersweet taste and is also salty.
If the seeds are consumed as tea, they are known to improve vision. The seeds also reduce hypertension and loosen bowels to relieve constipation. They relieve itchy eyes and over-sensitive eyes that hurt when there is light. The seeds are used as a more healthy alternative for coffee after they are roasted and ground. Paste made from the seeds is used to treat skin disorders as well as venomous snake bites and ringworm. The seeds also produce cassia gum, a food thickener, seeds also used in healthy pillows.
Cassia seeds come from the cassia plant and range in color from brown to yellowish red. It is a legume that grows wild in most continents. Its leaves are in groupings of six and the pods are 20 cm in width and contain many round seeds.

Change our food sytem
OUR FOOD SYSTEM IS BROKEN
The global food system has many gaps
Agricultural practices are destroying forests and threaten biodiversity
Our food system is responsible for 25% of global CO2-emmissions
⅓ of the food we produce goes to waste
820 million people go to bed with hunger
2 billion people are lacking in micronutrients, while 650 million people are obese.
The hidden costs for our health and ecology loss are $12 trillion per year and will grow to $16 trillion (that equals the gross domestic product of China).
Our current system cannot be sustained
LET'S EAT THE GAP!
The food system should take care of us, the farmers, and the planet
We believe chefs and food professionals have an important role to take. They are the perfect ambassadors and educators to help people evolve towards a more sustainable and healthy diet without sacrificing deliciousness.
Eating the gap provides inspiration, actionable insights and future-forward solutions to food professionals and chefs to make the needed transition.
We want to overcome the gaps. Let's eat them together.

Tree and Shrub Beautification
Trees require nutrients to live and thrive. When one or more of these nutrients are deficient in the soil, the tree will not reach its full landscape potential, will be more susceptible to disease and insect problems, and will have a shorter life than a similar, well-fertilized tree.
Countless insects live on, in, and around trees - many are harmless, while others can cause fatal damage. Caterpillars and beetles make up the largest proportion of chewing insect that can damage your ornamental. Once chewing insects are present, controlling movement up and down the stem with ArtScape's systemic insecticide can interrupt the life=cycles and kill the insects.
Prevention is important as well, and ArtScape will help in that prevention with a coating of Horticultural Oil. Aphids, caterpillar eggs, mites, scale, spider mites and white flies are the most common targets of Horticultural Oil. Oil based pesticides are an effective and ecologically friendly way to handle many garden insect pests and even some diseases.
In many cases certain diseases will target a specific type of tree or shrub. In other cases they can be weather related and when triggered by the weather they will attack different varieties of plants. With certain types of trees and shrubs that we know they are susceptible to fungus, we try to prevent the disease from attacking by applying disease control products on a regular basis.

“CC students made this happen,” said Cord Parameter, the designer, builder, and hired head consultant of the greenhouse construction. “Even those graduating and leaving it behind just as it was coming to fruition.”
The Colorado College Greenhouse, located on 1026 Weber St., was a completely student-run project that finally reached completion in the spring of 2013. Rebecca Levi, a 2011 graduate, was one of the main motivators behind making the greenhouse proposal a reality.
“I started holding open panels in Armstrong and JFK, and spending tons of time sending emails to farmers, administrators, professors, students, neighbors of the farm, etc.,” Levi recalls. “My goal was to get feedback from the community while presenting our objectives transparently.”
Levi was elected chair of CC’s Farm Club her junior year, using her position for outreach to gain support for the greenhouse. “At first,” she says, “no one came. I kept holding the panels, and expanding on the proposal I had been writing with [the] help of other Farm Club members, but for months, only a few non-members came to the panels. That was definitely discouraging at the time…but I hoped the emails I sent out started a buzz about something going on in the CC-Farm-Greenhouse realm.”
Trying to convince the administration that investment in such a facility would be beneficial for both students and the success of the college was no easy task—especially since the CC Farm (formerly called the Garden) was relatively new at the time. Fortunately, members were dedicated to bringing the greenhouse into existence; they felt expansion was necessary since they had been borrowing space in the Facilities greenhouse.
“It felt like in order for the program to grow,” said Levi. “We needed to be equipped with the right tools that were ours, and one of the most essential tools for any farm is a place to propagate transplants.”
According to the original proposal, the club also thought the creation of the greenhouse would “increase awareness about the CC Farm and local organic food production, lengthen the growing season and therefore increase yield and variety, decrease transportation of school food, create an oasis for students to work together towards a healthier lifestyle,” and much more. However, while the motivation behind creating a greenhouse was there, the design required extensive research. CC Farm Club’s advisor Miroslav Kummel helped with the tactical side of this planning. He collaborated on layouts for the greenhouse and worked on flagging out potential locations as well.
The club’s diligence and persistence eventually gave way to the start of the greenhouse construction.
“I cried the day I found out it was completed,” Levi says. “It was a total dream of mine and I was so overwhelmed to know that all that hard work paid off.”
She had already graduated by the time the school funded and supported the greenhouse project, but nevertheless was thrilled that the long process had finally found success. Parameter, who had worked closely with Levi, said at the time, “to the original students who first dreamed this could happen, to those who were finally in place to make this greenhouse happen…I am so proud of all of you. Look what you did. You left behind this wonderful opportunity—students for years to come will learn by seeing with their own eyes that you can feed yourself and others by combining nature’s good works.”
Three years later, this still stands true. Madison Perlick, one of the greenhouse managers, says, “As of right now, the greenhouse functions as a space to grow fruits and veggies, make art, and relax in a healing environment.” The group, in a similar fashion to those who came before them, are also working on plans for the future of the greenhouse. Perlick says they are in the process of starting a seed library, and are trying to get the hydroponics system up and running again so they can raise fish. “[Ultimately], we would like to make the greenhouse a more open and accessible place for people to come learn about growing food and sustainability.”

The African Dairy Genetics Gains (ADGG) program is working with national and international partners to improve dairy cattle breeding programs in Ethiopia and Tanzania with the aim of helping smallholder dairy farmers enhance the productivity and profitability of their dairy cows and herds, thereby improving their livelihoods.
Among other goals, the program is developing and piloting digital information and communication technology platforms for recording the performance of dairy cows in farms, synthesizing these records and sharing feedback with farmers, via the same platform, so that they can make informed herd management decisions.
Su Kahumbu, a TED global fellow and creative director at Green Dreams Tech Limited, is a member of the ADGG program team.
In this TED talk, How we can help hungry kids, one text at a time, delivered in August 2017; Kahumbu explains how iCow, an agricultural SMS platform she developed, is supporting livestock farmers in the two countries and how animal products are helping meet the nutritional needs of children in the region.
‘In Ethiopia and Tanzania, the ADGG program is using SMS and cutting-edge genomics and pioneering Africa’s first tropically-adapted dairy breeding centres and dairy performance recording centres,’ she says.
‘Farmers contribute data such as milking records, breeding records and feeding records to the ADGG platform which is then synthesized and shared with them in short messages through their mobile phones.’
So far, more than 2 million such messages have been sent to farmers in the two countries.
Where are you in tanzania.
1.are you dealing artificial insemination but also selling milk cow
Small holder dairy producers lack resources/input for which intervention/support are needed including improving livestock genetic resources, forage production, sustainable concentrate feed production and utilization, improving AI and veterinary services efficiency, improving livestock product quality, manure management, market development (strengthening cooperatives), maintaining indigenous breeds/Local Livestock Genetic Resources, small scale product processing equipment, and water development. Is digital technology can be solution for them???

Merry Mucker Maker
Who would have thought anyone could get excited about mucking? Well a good portion of our volunteers are doing just that, thanks to the addition of a battery-powered muck cart. Mr. Michael Gentile of Portland, Maine, donated this fantastic self-propelled wheel barrow to the center. With a twist of the wrist, this fine machine moves off with no physical effort. It can be used to take bags of hay up for feeding, or loaded with multiple paddocks of manure. Our handyman extraordinaire, Jim Taylor, installed gates in the lower arena, which now allow the muck truck to be driven to the end of the arena and dumped directly into the compost bins from above. Gone are the days of hoisting a muck bucket over the 4-foot wall of the compost bins. Gone are the multiple trips to and from the paddocks so that the old muck buckets wouldn’t be too heavy to lift. Thanks to our new system, life just got easier for a lot of people. Thank you, Mr. Gentile for this amazing donation. Thank you, Jim, for installing the fantastic gates. Volunteers, if you would like to learn how to operate our muck truck, check with Christine.

By Richard Grubb
At the beginning of the year the United Nations announced that 2014 is to be the International Year of the Family Farmer (IYFF). In an announcement that made clear the importance of small-scale family farms in both the developed and developing worlds, the announcement highlights the potential family farmers have to eradicate hunger, preserve natural resources and promote sustainable development.
In India, 615 million people are reliant upon agriculture of which 418 million are small farmers. Family farms constitute 81% of total agricultural holdings in the country and 60% of agricultural production comes from these family farms. In the surrounding areas of Jamkhed where CRHP has been working for more than 40 years their importance is particularly acute. Being an agrarian community, the vast majority of villagers that CRHP works with are intrinsically involved with family farming. Having lived and worked through the past two years of drought, their economic vulnerability has been crudely exposed.
In a recent study, CRHP found that 100% of farmers interviewed in the three blocks surrounding Jamkhed had been negatively affected by the drought. More than two thirds of these family farmers are now relying on work as laborers to supplement their diminishing farm incomes and only 30% of farmers are currently deriving more than 50% of their income from their farm. Life as a family farmer in rural Maharashtra is becoming increasingly unforgiving.
While certain models of development have confidently predicted the demise of the family farmer, their importance in the present should not be miscalculated. Beyond the clear economic importance, family farming has a key role to play environmentally too. Besides being a source of genetic agro-diversity, family farming can ensure the preservation of forgotten seed varieties through the use of native seed varieties and native livestock breeds well adapted to various environments. Family farming also has a major role to play in the empowerment of women. Indeed, women make up nearly half of agricultural labor in developing countries, contributing a significant proportion of the agricultural labor force. While the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) estimates this figure at 43%, United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) estimates it between 60-80%.
Despite their importance both economically and environmentally, the value of family farms has been routinely ignored by policymakers. Incomes of family farmers are not in tune with increases in the prices of agricultural inputs and barely a third of the price paid by the consumer is reaching the farmer. Inadequate access to natural and basis resources for production, markets, value addition and processing are responsible for uneconomic conditions of family farmers. The knock-on effect of this is a growing feeling of disillusionment amongst young family farmers. A national sample survey report found recently that 40% of farmers, including young, are of the view for switching over to other livelihoods if an opportunity comes, since farming is not remunerative to them. According to The Hindu, suicide rates among Indian farmers were 47% higher than the national average in 2011. In Maharashtra, the state that CRHP works in, the rate was 160% higher than the national average, excluding farmers. So there is much need to focus efforts on the family farmers.
With the announcement of the IYFF by the UN an opportunity has arisen for civil society to work hand in hand with mainstream policy makers to ensure better conditions for family farmers. Polices that work to improve livelihoods and halt growing disillusionment amongst young farmers can be affected, and meaningful change can be achieved. At CRHP we are firm supporters of the IYFF and over the next year we will be demonstrating as much in our renewed efforts at our demonstration farm in Khadkat. Without family farmers environmental conditions will worsen and food security will become increasingly precarious. It’s time to stand up for the family farmer and lend them our support.

Fruit and vegetable plants each have preferred places where they like to grow (some like it hot, some like it cool, some like it wet, some like it dry) and each has its very own schedule that it follows (some grow quickly in the summer, some grow throughout the winter and some take a year or more to produce food.) This section will help you to sort it all out.
Is it Locally Grown?
We are all spoiled by the amount and variety of fruits and vegetables available at the supermarkets these days. Fruits and vegetables are all parts of plants, plants that have preferred climates and seasons where they like to grow…
- some like okra like it hot,
- some like peas and cabbage like it cool,
- some like sweet potatoes like it a bit wet (rice likes it REALLY wet!)
- and some like nopales (prickly pear cactus) like it dry
and each has its very own schedule that it follows
- some, like cucumbers, grow quickly in the summer,
- some, like potatoes and kale, grow throughout the winter if kept from freezing
- and some, like asparagus and artichokes, take a year or more to produce food.
Because our seasons (our weather and temperature) vary throughout the year (spring, summer, sinter and fall) we cannot grow all fruits and vegetables in all places all year long. Fruits and vegetables that are grown locally can only be grown in the then the season is right for that crop. But there is always somewhere in the world where the temperature or season is right. So, the food we find in our supermarkets comes from all over the world no matter what the season….some of it grown under less-than-optimum conditions and very far away often requiring that it be transported over long distances to get to your kitchen.
Locally grown food is fresher, healthier and tastes better, because it spends less time in transit from farm to plate, and therefore, loses fewer calories and less spoilage. Eating what is grown close to home, and under healthy conditions, is the best choice. To know what is locally grown, you need to know a bit about the proper growing conditions for different fruits and vegetables and how their requirements relate to your local conditions. Learning how to grow your own is the very best way to learn the information you need to know to eat the freshest and healthiest fruits and veggies all year long.
What’s the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?
If you have asked yourself this question, you are not alone!
A plant scientist will most likely explain that a “FRUIT” is the part of the plant that develops after an egg is fertilized and then grows into a fleshy conatiner for seeds.
To answer the question “IS IT A FRUIT OR VEGETABLE,” you need to ask is, “DOES IT HAVE SEEDS?”
If the answer is yes, then technically, you have a FRUIT. Apples. oranges and watermelon are fruits because they hold the seeds which the plant makes to grow into new plants someday. The little black dots on strawberries are also seeds which makes strawberries a fruit. Things like radishes, celery, carrots, and lettuce do NOT have seeds so they are called vegetables. Vegetables are any part of the plant that doesn’t have a part in making the seeds that make new plants. If you are paying attention, you will realize that because of its seeds, a tomato is a fruit, too. Cucumbers, squash, green beans and walnuts all have seeds so they are also fruits.
So what is the answer?
Well, vegetable has come to mean most anything that you find in the ‘produce’ section of the supermarket that is not animal or mineral.

In 2008, a four-hundred foot vault was built inside the mountain of a remote Norwegian island to hold backup samples of almost every known crop seed in the world. Holding over 860,000 seed samples from 5,100 different species of crops from almost every nation, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault is considered the Noah’s Ark of food crops. Dubbed the “Doomsday Vault”, it is designed to safeguard Earth’s biodiversity and food supply if there were to ever be worldwide disaster that eliminated plant variety, such as nuclear war, crippling disease, or extreme global warming. Just 800 miles from the North Pole, the seeds are protected and preserved by their remote location and permafrost.
“The purpose of the Vault is to store duplicates (backups) of seed samples from the world’s crop collections. It will secure, for centuries, millions of seeds representing every important crop variety available in the world today. It is the final back up,” said the Global Crop Diversity Trust, the company that runs the seed vault.
But now, less than a decade after opening, seeds have been removed for the very first time. What catastrophic natural disaster could have possibly caused this to happen? Unfortunately, the most manmade of problems- war. Syria’s civil war has caused immense damage not only to its people, but also the environment and infrastructure.
Headquartered in Aleppo, Syria, the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) housed a large seed bank in order to do research and develop seeds genetically suitable for dry areas of developing countries. However, in 2012, the last of Aleppo’s seed storage was sent to Svalbard to preserve their collections (including drought resistant seeds) in the midst of the country’s destruction. Damage from the war, a rebel siege of the area, and daily threats proved too dangerous, forcing them to shut down. It was also unable to maintain its role as a hub to grow seeds and safely distribute them to other nations, mainly throughout the Middle East. The headquarters were moved to Beirut, Lebanon to escape conflict.
In September of 2015, ICARDA requested to withdraw 130 out of the 325 boxes it deposited to Svalbard (containing 116,000 samples) to replace seeds that were damaged by the war, continue research at ICARDA’s new location, and restore some of the genetic diversity lost in Syria during the fighting.
“It is wonderful to see the Vault is already proving its worth, and that we have been able to help our friends in the Middle East to continue their vital work,” said Arni Bragason, director of NordGen, which co-manages the Svalbard vault.
Last month, researchers took 38,000 seeds back out of the vault and delivered them from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault to Lebanon and Morocco, where they will continue the research they started in Syria. The shipment contained varieties of cereals, wheat, barley, faba beans, lentils, and chickpeas that will be planted next year and tested in hopes of developing new strains that can better withstand disease and climate change, and eventually be used to help feed a growing global population. It was the first of several shipments to be made over the next few years.
“Protecting the world’s biodiversity in this manner is precisely the purpose of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault,” said Brian Lainoff, spokesperson from the Global Crop Diversity Trust.

Akwa Ibom Enterprise and Employment Scheme (AKEES) has taken a bold step in agro production as it ventures into cultivation of 22 types of vegetables with the aim to raise the bar of food sufficiency in the state. This was ascertained yesterday as Akwa Ibom State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Charles Udoh embarked on a good governance tour on farmlands formed under AKEES Farm Base scheme.
Elder Ufot Ebong, who is doubling as Senior Special Adviser to Akwa Ibom State governor on Bureau of Technical Matters and Due Process and AKEES coordinator, led the team to the farms in a bid to showcase the achievement of AKEES in agricultural sector. Beginning from pockets of vegetable gardens at Shelter Afrique, Uyo described as Demonstration Farms by Elder Ebong, the farms hold variety of vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, radish, onions, local garden eggs, green pepper, yellow pepper, red pepper, Cameroon pepper, okra, etc.
Commenting on tomato cultivation, Elder Ufot Ebong said that the specie cultivated at the farms include Roma Red, Cobra and Tolga which are of superior quality to those brought into the state from Northern Nigeria. He revealed that characteristics of ‘AKEES tomatoes’ include thicker skin, lesser quantity of seeds and less water content. Ebong further said that each stand of the tomato could yield the minimum of 60 fruits.
Speaking to newsmen, Mr. Langwa Brezhnev from the Cameroons, who is in charge of the supervision and the management of the farms, said that Akwa Ibom is suitable for the cultivation of many kinds of vegetables.
“I came here to cultivate tomatoes, and AKEES pushed me to demonstrate on other 21 vegetables and surprisingly most of them have been doing better than in the Cameroons. Like in the southwestern Cameroons, lands are stony. We have to struggle with stones to make beds but here in Akwa Ibom you don’t see such thing.
“When you move around in Akwa Ibom, surprisingly, you see the grass growing, and people say certain crops and vegetables cannot grow here. So mysterious that grass can grow, and vegetables can’t grow. So my responsibility is to work with AKEES in order to demystify what had been hidden here for a thousand year.” Brezhnev said.
In his remark, Pastor Praise Okon, the Permanent Secretary of Ministry of Information and Strategy who was representing the commissioner, Mr. Charles Udoh, said that the he is impressed with what AKEES has done in ensuring that Akwa Ibom is food-sufficient saying that in a short while Akwa Ibom State would be the next supplier of vegetables.

Pull Scar Estates, when initially purchased, only had 42ha of macadamia orchids. Since then, a further 273 ha macadamias and 2.88 ha avocado pear pip and cutting orchard was planted. The proposed expansion will see a further 195 ha of macadamia orchids planted up to 2026 which will result in 510ha planted area.
Trees are only selected from SAMAC (South African Macadamia Members Association) accredited top nurseries. These nurseries are selected 18 months before planting and orders are given to qualifying nurseries at least 16 months prior to planting. All trees are planted with a super absorbent which assists with keeping the tree moist during the first few weeks. Mulching is also applied around the tree to keep moisture in the soil by protecting the soil from the sun. New trees are also sprayed with screen due to prevent stress.
MTO, under the Pull Scar Estate name, is a member of Golden Macadamia.
The following achievements over the last 8 years regarding the quality of nut delivered should be mentioned. These achievements was for the lowest Un-Sound kernel at Golden macadamias out of a group of 98 growers.

Tomato seeds were soaked for 24 h at 25 degrees C in the dark in 300 mM NaCl (NaCl-priming) or distilled water (hydro-priming). For both priming treatments, the ABA content in the seeds increased during treatment
but rapidly decreased after sowing. Both during and after the priming treatments, the ABA levels in the hydro-primed seeds and NaCl-primed seeds were not significantly different. The expression levels of SIGA20ox1, SIGA3ox1 and SBE-β-CD chemical structure SIGA3ox2 were significantly enhanced in the NaCl-primed seeds compared to the hydro-primed seeds. The GA(4) content was quantifiable after both types of priming, indicating that GA(4)
is the major bioactive GA molecule involved in tomato seed germination. The GA(4) content was significantly higher in the NaCl-primed seeds than in the hydro-primed seeds 12 h after sowing and thereafter. Additionally, the peak expression levels of SIEXP4, SIGulB, SIMAN2 and SIXTH4 occurred earlier and were significantly higher in the NaCl-primed seeds than in the hydro-primed NVP-LDE225 nmr seeds. These results suggest that the observed effect of NaCl-priming on tomato seed germination is caused by an increase of the GA(4) content via GA biosynthetic gene activation and a subsequent increase in the expression of genes related to endosperm cap weakening.

“A simple and sensitive conductometric irnmunosensor for detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was designed using carbon nanoparticles as labels. The immunosensing probe was fabricated by means of the immobilization of monoclonal
anti-AFP primary antibodies on an interdigitated conductometric transducer, while the detection antibodies were prepared using nanocarbon-conjugated horseradish peroxidase-labeled anti-AFP (CNP-HRP-anti-AFP). With a sandwich-type GW4869 supplier immunoassay format, the conjugated CNP-HRP-anti-AFP on the transducer was increased with the increase of AFP in the sample, and the conductivity of the immunosensor was decreased in the H(2)O(2)-KI system. Under optimal conditions, the immunosensor exhibited a wide dynamic range of 0.1-500 ng/mL with a detection limit of 50 pg/mL AFP at 3 sigma. The reproducibility and recovery were <10% and 83.9-112.3%, respectively. Interestingly, 45 clinical serum specimens were assayed using the conductometric immunosensor, and the results were in accordance with those obtained from our Clinical Laboratory using Roche 2010 Electrochemiluminescent Automatic Analyzer.

Considerations of the soil microbiome in aridland management
10-20% of drylands and 24% of the world's productive lands are currently degraded. Researchers do not yet fully understand important dynamics driving patterns of soil health and practitioners do not yet have access to management strategies that enhance the cultivation of beneficial soil microbial communities that could provide utility for restoring soil fertility and reduce the incidence of exotic species. There is a pressing need to develop the science and technology required to protect and restore the fertility of landscapes around the world in the face of diverse and changing climatic conditions. Largely in collaboration with the Barberán lab at the University of Arizona, we conduct research that focuses on understanding relationships between soil microbial communities and desert plants in order to drive technology advances in restoration and invasive species management of dryland habitats. We have experiments deployed at the Santa Rita Experimental Range funded by a NSF CNH grant, Tumamoc hill in collaboration with Albert Burquez, funded by several University of Arizona grants, and Saguaro National Park in collaboration with the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum.

Have questions about California peaches, plums and nectarines? Chances are, you'll find the answers here. Following are questions commonly asked by our customers
California is the largest producer of peaches, plums and nectarines. Most are grown in the San Joaquin Valley, just south of Fresno, California. In fact, California produces over 90 percent of the nectarines and plums grown in the U.S. and provides approximately 60 percent of all the peaches. South Carolina is a distant second in peach production growing 15 percent of the U.S. crop, while Georgia comes in third supplying 13 percent of all U.S. peaches.
California peaches, plums and nectarines are available mid-May through September. Limited quantities may be available in early May and as late as October.
There are over 200 varieties of peaches, 200 varieties of plums and 175 varieties of nectarines sold commercially from California--each with their own specific harvest time, flavor and color characteristics.
A nectarine is really a distinct fruit all its own. The nectarine and the peach are so similar that there is only one gene that separates the two to make them distinct. The nectarine has one recessive gene … the one with the fuzz.
Prominent pomologists, such as Luther Burbank, have argued that the nectarine actually predates the peach and that the nectarine, not the peach, represents the ancestral form. It is quite possible that peaches are a cross between nectarines and almonds.
Stickers are the fresh produce industry's version of a UPC code, or bar code that comes on packaged goods that store checkers scan. In recent years, retail grocery stores have asked that tree fruit growers and shippers apply stickers to the fruit to aid cashiers in properly ringing up the fruit at the checkout stand and to help track fruit sales.
High heat will actually damage fruit, causing it to become dry and mealy. The sun will cause it to shrivel. The best way to ripen firm fruit is to place it in a paper bag or fruit bowl, at room temperature, for 1 - 3 days.
California growers strive to produce a plentiful and high quality crop of fresh peaches, plums and nectarines free of insects, fungus and disease with the utmost concern of producing a safe product. In general, growers will apply a pesticide in the winter--when trees are dormant and no fruit is present in the orchard--to control bugs and reduce populations before the trees bear fruit. If necessary, they will apply pesticides again in the spring and/or late summer. They may also use a fungicide during the course of the year to prevent molds and fungus from destroying the fruit after you purchase it and bring it home. Growers try, whenever possible, to use pest control methods other than chemicals, such as Integrated Pest Management. As a result, very little if any pesticide residue remains on the fruit by the time it reaches consumers. As an added precaution, all fruit should be rinsed in cold running water before it is eaten.
Many growers now incorporate what are called Integrated Pest Management, or IPM, farming practices. This kind of farming seeks to reduce the use of conventional pesticides. Growers monitor exactly what kinds of pests they have and then treat these pests with natural predators; or, employ a technique called pheromone mating disruption which is designed to prevent bugs from breeding so that populations of bugs are greatly reduced in the next generation. This results in less use of chemicals.
California has the world's strictest safety regulations concerning the use of agricultural pesticides. There are laws that govern what chemical can be used, how much can be applied, when it can be applied and how it is applied. In California, growers are required to obtain a permit each time they apply a chemical to their orchard which is filed with the California Department of Pesticide Regulation.
There are rules designed to protect workers when pesticides are applied and there is always a period of time, usually a week or more, after the application when workers are not allowed to enter the orchard. Farm workers are required to wear protective clothing and may only apply products under the direction of a licensed pest control advisor or operator. These rules and regulations are continually reviewed and updated and there are strict penalties for farmers who are noncompliant.
Federal and state governments monitor all produce available in U.S. stores. They test produce continually for pesticide residue. The vast majority of fruit found in stores has no detectable pesticide residue and any residue found on a very small percentage of fruit is well below levels considered safe for consumption.
In recent research conducted by the University of California, fresh peaches, plums and nectarines were found to be of low-concern status when it comes to microbial food safety. It is always recommended that consumers rinse fresh peaches, plums and nectarines in cold running water before consumption.
To peel peaches, first cut a small X in the bottom of the peach. Using a slotted spoon, immerse the peach in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, then remove and place briefly in ice water. Remove the peach from the ice water and peel the skin starting from the X. If the skin does not peel back easily, immerse the fruit in the boiling water for a few moments longer.

From changing weather patterns and soil erosion to a reliance on harmful pesticides, there are a number of sustainability issues surrounding the production of tea. Tea is the second most consumed beverage on the planet, and as such, millions of people around the world depend on tea picking and cultivation for their livelihoods. At Genuine Tea, we believe in promoting sustainable agriculture, transparency and fair compensation for all players along the supply chain. For these reasons, we have partnered with the social enterprise, Mana Organics, in India.
Mana Organics encourages rural development through the implementation of organic farms and farming practices among Indian farmers. Organic farming is a sustainable approach to agriculture that integrates knowledge and practices from traditional farming, ecology, entomology, and soil science. It avoids the use of modern farming chemicals, such as pesticides and fertilizers, and focuses on using natural, local ingredients for pest control, and improving soil fertility. This helps to maintain the natural ecological balance as well as contributes to farmer communities becoming more self sufficient and less dependent on commercialized industrial inputs.
Mana Organics has connected us with organic farmers in India in order to source our teas directly. Traditionally, after tea is harvested, it is sent to an auction house where large corporations purchase the tea in bulk for the lowest possible price. This approach means little is left for the plantation owners and their workers. By cutting out the middle man and sourcing directly, not only is our tea extremely fresh, but it also means fair compensation for the farmers.

Rhizosphere Microbes - Mikrobiologi - inbunden - Adlibris
Because they are rich in a variety of carbon compounds, plant roots provide unique environments for a diverse assemblage of soil microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and archaea. Exudates come in the form of chemicals released into the rhizosphere by cells in the roots and cell waste referred to as "rhizodeposition." This rhizodeposition comes in various forms of organic carbon and nitrogen that provide for the communities around plant roots and dramatically affect the chemistry surrounding the roots. The microbiota colonizing the rhizosphere and the endorhizosphere contribute to plant growth, productivity, carbon sequestration, and phytoremediation. Several studies suggested that different plants types and even genotypes of the same plant species harbor partially different microbiomes. The rhizosphere microbiome is essential for plant growth and health, and numerous studies have attempted to link microbiome functionality to species and trait composition. However, to date little is known about the actual ecological processes shaping community composition, complicating attempts to steer microbiome functionality.

The rhizosphere microbiome plays an important role in the growth and health of many plants, particularly for plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Although the use of PGPR could improve plant production, real‐world applications are still held back by low‐efficiency methods of finding and using PGPR.

Accordingly, metatranscriptomics analysis of the rhizosphere microbiome revealed that 81 unique transcripts were significantly (P <0.05) expressed at different stages of plant development.

Mums popularly known as Shevanti are native to Maharashtra, meaning they love it here. They don’t need to be taken care of much, just water them regularly and they do well even in poor soil.
I planted my first Shevanti from rooted cuttings in October 2013, 3 plants in total. By winter 2014 the plants started blooming and by middle of February each plant had around 10 yellow Shevanti smiling ☺. Ever since I have been a fan of “mums”, 2014 I bought some new Shevanti plants and also tried my hands on propagation from cutting.
Can close my eyes n recommend people wanting to start gardening to try their hands on Shevanti, they won’t be disappointed plus u easily get a plant at around 40 rs in myriad of colors from local nursery.
Best Time to plant post July , should start blooming by January.
Since I have started gardening, basil has been my favorite plant primarily coz of it’s scent. For me it’s only second to tomato in terms of aroma. I have written a post on how to grow basil on my other WordPress blog link here.
This time I tried my hands on purple basil. It has a similar sweet aroma only difference being it looks more exotic. I have used coco pith with one part vermi compost to grow most of my smaller plants with reasonable success. I need to learn to make my basil plant look bushy n not lanky, I guess pinching at early stage would help.
Basil is not only easier to grow and care for but hardly attacked by any pest, an excellent plant to grow for early gardeners. Easy to grow from seeds, yet to try my hands on cuttings.

iEcoLab graduate student Nick Huron and PI Helmus were awarded funding from the USDA to continue working on spotted lanternfly research. Nick’s project, “Predicting establishment and impact of spotted lanternfly on trees across the USA,” aims to build a statistical model that explains variation in spotted lanternfly feeding preferences across plant hosts. The model will be based on plant traits and phylogenetic relationships. It will be used to predict spotted lanternfly feeding preferences on plant hosts in the United States outside of its current invaded range. Using the information from this model, Nick and Dr. Helmus will be able to build a tool to direct monitoring efforts by estimating high risk of spread areas based off of plant species found in particular regions.
The grant will facilitate publication of results as well as presentations at conferences. The grant will also be used to support not only Nick’s position in the research, but also to provide funding for an undergraduate research assistant devoted to the project.

Widely diverse information exists on the size of the yield penalty associated with organic crop production. Some authors/spokespersons – often connected with organic production/marketing – claim organic yields are typically 80-100% of non-organic. (I prefer the term “non-organic” over “conventional,” because so much of modern agriculture is anything but conventional.) Other sources say 50-70% is more common.
One might ask, “Why does this matter?” Just let farmers grow what they believe they can grow profitably, sorting out yield and price-premium relationships for their individual farms, crops and market environments. And if profit expectation is too low relative to risk and management needs, then organic buyers can raise the price to stimulate production – or import organic produce from afar – just as occurs with any other farm commodity.
But the question is often voiced in more fundamental terms. Many in organic production/marketing/advocacy portray organic as morally superior and more sustainable, not withstanding some small reductions in yield. Others (example here) argue the reverse: that organic agriculture is bad ethically because of markedly lower yields and the attendant major increase in land needed to produce food.
There is more to sustainable agriculture than yield. Quality is important and so too are the long-term adequacy of input needs, energy usage and effects on environment. Organic may or may not be environmentally superior; it depends on which analysis, commentary or assumptions you read or use. But yield is highly important too.
Thus it was with pleasure that I read a quality analysis published in August 2016, by Drs. Kniss and Jabbour at the University of Wyoming and Dr. Savage in San Diego. It’s entitled, “Commercial Crop Yields Reveal Strengths and Weaknesses for Organic Agriculture in the United States.” A popularized column based on the paper was published simultaneously by Kniss. The strength of the paper is that, unlike any before, it is based on many thousands of actual on-farm records. The paper involves data only from the United States but it’s a major contribution and you must read it – ideally both the paper and column.
The following consists of a few comments on their analysis and will make more sense if you have some knowledge of what Kniss et al have written.
In briefest terms, the authors compared yield data provided for the year 2014 through a special USDA survey of more than 10,000 organic growers, with similar yield data collected for all US crop farmers through the 2014 USDA-NASS December Agricultural Survey (available here). They found that organic crops normally yield less than non organic but with a huge range in yield ratios across crops and across states. Notable exceptions are hay and haylage crops where organic crops yield as much or more – and up to 60% higher for haylage. On average, Kniss et al concluded that organic crops average 80% of non-organic.
I had serious doubts about both the 60% and 80% numbers and contacted the authors asking questions and providing further calculations using their data. I am pleased that the errors have been corrected. The stats properly show that organic haylage yielded 76% as much as its non-organic counterpart, on average. The average yield ratio (organic/non-organic) for all 65 crops included in their analysis is now 67%. Worded otherwise, 1.5 acres of land in organic production is needed, on average, to produce as much food as 1 acre of non-organic land, according to the USDA survey.
With the corrections, the Kniss et al paper produces results equivalent to those published by co-author, Steve Savage, one year ago. Here’s one graph from Savage’s web site for row crops. (Savage reported the organic yield gap as percent lower yield, rather than as a percent of non-organic crop yield as preferred by Kniss et al.) The Savage web site contains similar graphs for a range of other crops.
The yield depression for organic corn and soybeans is similar to that reported by crop insurance officials for those crops in Ontario. However, the yield depression is greater with organic winter wheat in Ontario (an average of 42% lower over eight years) than shown in the USDA data.
The authors highlight a conclusion in the USDA organic report that 40% of organic farmers reported using no-till or minimum tillage practices. Observing organic practices in Canada, I simply don’t believe this statistic and think it is a result of a USDA survey process which involved self-reporting. Vast numbers of farmers in North America likely believe that they practice “minimum tillage” – with “minimum” generally meaning less than what they did in times past or less than what they might have done. I am aware that organic researchers and some farmers are experimenting with no-till seeding using crimped cover crops to control weeds (with mixed success). But this still represents a minute percentage of total organic acreage.
Kniss et al cast doubt on claims that high-yield agriculture allows land to be diverted out of arable crop agriculture into conservation or other purposes. They cite a 2014 US report showing a decline in number of acres in the US land conservation reserve in years after 2007. In my view, any meaningful analysis of the effects of yield enhancement on land usage has to include a much longer time frame.
The following table copied from a USDA-ERS summary of historical agricultural statistics, shows the total acreage planted to principal crops from 1983 to 2015. (The USDA-ERS report contains a related table for the years 1909-1990 but with a different inclusion listing of “principal crops.”)
The acreage numbers show effects of poor crop prices in the mid 1980s, good prices around the year 1996 and after 2007, as well as anomalies such as the US “PIK” land set-aside program of 1983. However, the overall trend in principal crop acreage is down. For those statistically inclined, the slope of the linear regression line is -490 thousand acres/year with R2 = 0.24 and P<0.01. Some that diverted land went into urban development for sure, but I expect much was land conversion into non-cropped rural landscape. Principal crop acreage declined even as usage for both food and non-food uses (biofuels and biomaterials) grew.
A final comment: It’s a common practice for some organic farmers to plow under a soil-building crop (for example, perennial legume or buckwheat), without harvesting, in year one to provide better growth for the crop in year two. When that’s the case, the harvested crop is actually the product of two years of growth and the reported yield per acre should be halved to calculate yield/acre/year. This adjustment is not included in the USDA data and I expect no one knows how large the adjustment should be. That factor does mean that the 67% is a slight over-estimate. (The same practice can occur in non-organic agriculture, though I believe to a smaller extent.)
With that noted, I do compliment the authors on an excellent and highly useful paper containing farm-level stats on the performance of specific crops.
And from a practical standpoint, it is likely more important for farmers to know that they might expect hay yields (though not haylage) comparable to non-organic with organic production, but corn, soybean and wheat yields which are 30-35% lower, and organic grape yields 50% lower – than it is to know what the US average is for all crops is 67% or whatever. Yield data for all 65 crops are contained in supplementary tables in the Kniss et al paper.
Thanks Drs. Kniss, Savage and Jabbour for a valuable contribution.

A colourful 8kg box containing a wonderful mix, constantly changing to reflect the seasons with new products. The box currently contains the products below.
Please note there might be some variations in the ratio of the products due to seasonal availability.
All are untreated and come straight from the farm in only four days.
||Valencia Late (June – Aug)
A sweet, summer orange variety, and popular thanks to its high juice content (60%) and good acid-sweetness balance. The Valencia Late orange is a bit smaller than the Barnfield orange, and can have a few small pips.
It does not leave a bitter taste in the mouth and is therefore perfect as a refreshing juice with your morning breakfast or afternoon snack in the sun. From the Lameira farm.
Aromatic and juicy lemon, which has been nicknamed “sweet lemon”, as it is less sour than lemons we’re used to at home – from the Lameira farm.
These crunchy and oval shaped tomatoes are sweet and juicy. A healthy snack and a real treat to bring to the office or to the beach – from the Agro Limoa farm.
Firm and juicy, these round tomatoes have a refreshingly sweet flavour. They are ideal for making salads, soups such as the Spanish Gazpacho, and sauces – from the Agro Limoa farm.
A tasty and classic versatile cucumber with a slightly thicker skin than what we are used to in Denmark – from the Agro Limoa farm.
Delivery & Storage
||Order before Thursday 12.00 to be guaranteed to receive Saturday’s fresh harvest on the following Tuesday or Wednesday. Deliveries are once weekly.
Since our fruits and vegetables are completely natural without surface treatment, they have a shorter shelf life.
When stored in 4°C – 8°C, they can last for 2 weeks. However their best taste is expressed at room temperature.
Please understand that at the beginning and end of the season, the fruit can be a bit less juicy and sweet than during the middle of the season.
Do you want to know more?
See tab menu above to read more about the farms, and also to learn more about what happens when you order a Subscription box to receive a regular delivery.
With its 170ha land, Lameira is one of the largest citrus plantations in the sunny Algarve, in the South of Portugal.
The mineral-rich soil and warm climate creates the optimal conditions for citrus cultivation. Every orange has over 300 days worth of sun within them, ensuring they are very sweet and juicy!
The Lameira plantation (Lameira = “muddy” in Portuguese) has been a family-run farm for over 60 years.
Artur and his family are working in the orchard every day to ensure the highest quality of their citrus fruits, including oranges, lemons and clementines.
With more than 17 citrus varieties can Lameira deliver fresh citrus fruits all year round – without keeping them in stock.
The trees act as “nature’s own stock.” Citrus fruits are allowed to fully ripen on the trees and harvested fresh for every order.

On a hillside in the Algarve, Portugal, Sérgio grows lush avocado trees.
The avocado farm started with Sérgio’s father, more than 25 years ago. Back then, the fruit was so unique that nobody in the area knew how to eat an avocado until Sérgio’s family introduced them into the Algarve region. They were true pioneers.
The whole family grows avocados during 8 months of the year with the varieties Fuerte, Beacon, Hass and Reed.
All the avocados ripen naturally, without the use of ethylene gas. To find out when each is in season, click here.
In harmony with nature, his 16-year-old son Bernardo sets up hives on the same hillside to enable the bees to pollinate the avocado trees with different gender (“he” and “she”) flowers. This is a prerequisite for the bearing of fruit. This is why their farm is called Abacamel = Avocado (Abacate) + Honey (Mel).
The Abacamel Farm also sells their delicious honey called “Mel” in our shop. Be sure to check it out!
On another nearby farm, Sérgio and his wife Dina grow grapefruits. When they planted their grapefruit trees 10 years ago, they were again pioneers in the area with the first grapefruit production in the Algarve (Portugal).

Rose care. A sensible approach to plant protection
Most gardeners want their fruits and vegetables to be healthy and their plants to bloom. But unfortunately they do not succeed in every season in the same way.
Every year is unique.
Each year has its own climate history, so plants, their diseases and pests develop differently each year. Sometimes, despite careful care, pest infestations occur and pesticides must be used. To keep their use to a minimum, it is worth taking some steps to prevent disease or pest infestation and to reduce the use of pesticides.
Plant protection using roses as an example
When selecting a rose bush from a nursery, look for disease-resistant and susceptible varieties. In addition to advice from a nursery expert, take advantage of valuable information on suitable varieties that can be found in special magazines or on the Internet. Quality marks such as ADR awards can also be a good guide. These varieties are characterized by health and stable growth.
The soil should not be dense in order to allow the rose’s deep roots to grow perfectly. A sunny but not too hot location will be optimal for healthy growth. A fertilizer that is balanced and adapted to the needs of roses promotes not only healthy growth, but also vigorous flowering. In addition, with regular removal of wilted flowers, fungi such as gray mold will have less chance to multiply.
Water carefully! Our roses especially need regular watering in the summer – they should not be allowed to dry out. It’s also important not to wet the leaves unnecessarily and to water only below the roots. This reduces the risk of fungal infections.
Comprehensive pest control: The following methods are distinguished in horticulture:
- Plant cultivation methods, such as selecting or cultivating resistant varieties
- Cultivation methods, e.g. choosing a location, fertilizing
- Biological methods, such as using beneficial organisms
- Biotechnological methods such as traps, sticky tapes, pheromone traps
- Thermal, such as burning weeds
- Mechanical methods such as thinning weeds, collecting caterpillars

"For us, wine has ALL the qualities of a work of art.
Just as a sculptor grapples with the hard nature of a stone until he succeeds in animating it, we work creatively with nature, growing and maturing, the process of transformation, the alchemical connection of body, mind and soul and bring THAT into the bottle."
We cultivate diversity
just as a painter or photographer always creates new works and none is quite like the other, so we create our wines from the diversity of nature. We are interested in recognizing the tension, the liveliness and the expression of each vintage and to enter into a creative exchange with it.
and sustainable we have been working for many years, because it is our self-conception towards nature and mankind. We consciously do not use synthetic
pesticides and strengthen the natural defense system of our vineyards through a great diversity of plants and species. We continuously supply our soils with nutrients and thus maintain the ecological balance.
In our way of working
often results in three different grape qualities from one grape variety, which we harvest at different times, resulting in three different fermentations and therefore three different wines. Instead of combining the entire harvest into just one wine, we prefer uniqueness and aim to bring out its individual character through care and attention

Most of us would love to have a fridge full of fresh organic produce and meats. But because pesticide and hormone-free products often have a premium price tag, going organic can seem like a luxury for anyone on a tight budget. So how do you make sure the green on your table doesn't drain the green from your wallet?
If you can't afford to fill your entire shopping cart with organic food, you can still feel good about what you buy. Sarah Bratnober, communications director at the Organic Valley Family of Farms, advises following the 80/20 rule—80 percent of the benefits come from 20 percent of the purchases. Think about what your family eats the most of, then go from there. For example, if you have a choice between organic milk and organic mayonnaise, and your kids go through a gallon of milk in a week but only two tablespoons of mayo, go for the milk. Fruits and vegetables are also good choices, especially the ones your family eats lots of. And if you have the option, get into community-supported agriculture, where you own shares in a farm and get a share of whatever it produces.

Animal-dispersed crops’ skills to adapt to local weather change diminished by 60 % because of a lack of biodiversity
Houston: Image a mature, broad-branched tree like an oak, maple or fig. How does it reproduce in order that its offspring don’t develop up in its shadow, preventing for mild?
The reply is seed dispersal. Crops have developed many methods for spreading their seeds away from the father or mother plant. Some produce seedlings that float on the wind. Others have fruits that really explode, ejecting their seeds.
And greater than half of all crops depend on wildlife to disperse their seeds. This usually occurs when animals eat fruits from crops or carry away their nuts, then excrete or drop the seeds elsewhere. In tropical rainforests, animals disperse the seeds of as much as 90 % of tree species.
At present the Earth is dropping species at a speedy fee, probably representing the sixth mass extinction in its historical past. In a newly printed examine, we study what this loss means for seed dispersal, specializing in birds and mammals that disperse fleshy-fruited crops.
We assessed how seed dispersers assist crops shift their geographic ranges to succeed in habitats newly appropriate for development – a vital mechanism for surviving local weather change. If not sufficient seeds are dispersed to trace the environmental circumstances like temperature and precipitation that crops require, the crops may very well be caught in settings the place they’ll battle to outlive. This might result in losses of plant species, together with the precious services they supply, starting from meals to carbon storage.
A brand new period for plant motion
Animals have been dispersing seeds for hundreds of thousands of years, however the relationships between crops and their seed dispersers have modified dramatically in our fashionable period.
Berries in California are not eaten by grizzly bears, which disappeared from the state a century in the past. On the island of Madagascar, seeds not journey within the bellies of gorilla-sized lemurs, which went extinct there about 2,300 years in the past. In France, seeds don’t catch a experience on the fur of lions or between the toes of rhinos that when lived there, as proven in prehistoric cave work. When animals disperse seeds at present, their motion is commonly hampered by roads, farms or built-up areas.
For many animal-dispersed crops – particularly these with giant seeds, which require giant animals like tapirs, elephants and hornbills to unfold them – these modifications imply an enormous discount in seed dispersal, and an incredible slowdown of plant motion.
Analysis by our group and work by many colleagues have uncovered the damaging ecological penalties that happen when seed dispersers disappear. Now researchers are assessing how seed dispersal decline is affecting crops’ responses to local weather change.
Quantifying what’s been misplaced
Solely a small fraction of the 1000’s of seed disperser species and tens of 1000’s of animal-dispersed plant species have been studied immediately. Many seed disperser species are extinct or so uncommon that they’ll’t be studied in any respect.
To beat this problem, we pulled collectively knowledge from printed research displaying which hen and mammal seed dispersers eat which fruits, how far they unfold the seeds, and the way their digestive methods’ results on the seeds assist or hinder germination. These three steps collectively describe what’s required for profitable seed dispersal: A seed should be faraway from the mom plant, journey a ways away from it and survive to grow to be a seedling.
Subsequent, we used machine studying to generate predictions for seed dispersal, based mostly on the traits of every species. For instance, knowledge on a medium-sized thrush in North America may assist us mannequin how a medium-sized thrush species from Asia dispersed seeds, even when the Asian species wasn’t studied immediately.
Utilizing our educated mannequin, we may estimate seed dispersal by each hen and mammal species – even uncommon or extinct species for which there isn’t any species-specific knowledge on the seed dispersal course of.
The final step was to match present seed dispersal to what could be taking place if extinctions and species vary contractions hadn’t occurred. For fleshy-fruited crops, we estimate that due to hen and mammal losses, 60 % fewer seeds are being dispersed far sufficient worldwide to maintain tempo with local weather change by shifting places. Additional, we estimate that if at the moment endangered seed disperser species corresponding to bonobos, savanna elephants and helmeted hornbills grew to become extinct, world seed dispersal would decline by a further 15 %.
The influence of previous seed disperser declines has been best in areas together with North America, Europe and the southern a part of South America. Future losses of endangered species would have their most extreme impacts in areas together with Southeast Asia and Madagascar.
With fewer seed dispersers current, fewer seeds can be moved far sufficient to allow crops to adapt to local weather change by shifting their ranges.
Seed dispersers assist maintain forests
Seed dispersal additionally helps forests and different pure ecosystems get better from disturbances like wildfire and deforestation. Which means mammals and birds play a serious position in sustaining pure vegetation.
Most forest restoration around the globe occurs by means of seed dispersal and pure forest regrowth reasonably than through individuals planting bushes. Seed dispersal by animals is very vital for tropical forests, which might develop again comparatively rapidly after they’re logged or burned.
Seed dispersers additionally promote biodiversity by serving to to make sure that a lot of plant species can survive and thrive. Ecosystems that include many plant species with various genetic makeups are higher outfitted to deal with unsure futures, and to maintain the ecosystem capabilities that people depend on, corresponding to storing carbon, producing meals and timber, filtering water and controlling floods and erosion.
There are methods to extend seed dispersal. Ensuring patches of comparable habitats are related helps species transfer amongst them. Restoring populations of vital seed dispersers, starting from toucans to bears to elephants, may even assist. And world fashions of seed dispersal like ours might help scientists and land managers take into consideration seed dispersers as a nature-based answer for addressing local weather change.

Educating our community
Click to see Video
The community garden aims to use innovative techniques to grow produce such as hydroponics. This allows many opportunities to educate not only our own congregation, but also the community. One of our favorite projects was hosting 100 first graders from Round Top Elementary School for a field trip.
Providing free produce to those in need
One of the main objectives of growing food is to give it away! We hope to directly feed those in need with fresh produce.
With harvest days, a produce stand, education programs and just getting down and dirty, we hope to build relationships inside and outside of our congregation.
Selling produce to area restaurants
From farm to table, our hope is to provide local restaurants with fresh produce to feature on their menus. Blythewood patrons could enjoy heirloom tomatoes grown just miles down the road!

Now that it is a new year, it is time to start taking down the Christmas decorations. It is also a good time to do some of the winter maintenance that needs to be done outside when taking down the lights, such as pruning and fertilizing treatments. Here are some tips to help you with the winter maintenance when you are taking down your outdoor Christmas decorations:
1. Removing and Packing Up Your Lights for The Next Holiday Season
You may have put up lights and decorations around your home to get into the holiday spirits. Now it is time to remove all the decorations and pack them up. For your outdoor lights, use cable or garden hose spools to easily roll them up. Rolling your lights up will also make it easier to store them and put them back out next year. Another option is to contact a landscaping service to help you with this chore.
2. Trimming Trees at The Best Time to Get Ready for Spring
Once you have taken down all the decorations, it will be time to begin the winter maintenance that needs to be done. Trees need to be pruned at the most dormant time of the year when insects, disease, and fungus are all less active. The time after the holidays is a good time to start trimming your trees to get them ready for a healthy spring growing season.
3. Lawn and Garden Treatments That Can Be Applied in Late Winter Months
There are also many treatments that can be applied to lawns and gardens during the winter months. If you have grass, this can be a good time to start with over seeding to ensure your lawn is green when spring weather arrives. Slow release fertilizers can also be applied in the late winter months to start feeding your plants and prepare them for spring.
4. Adding Hardscaping Features to Reduce Spring and Summer Lawncare Needs
If you are planning on doing improvements, winter is a good time to start with these projects. You may want to consider hardscaping projects like adding paths, structures, and flowerbeds. Start with the hardscaping projects now to ensure that spring maintenance needs are minimal.
This year, take your Christmas decorations down before Easter and start with winter garden care before spring arrives. If you need help with removing decorations and garden care, contact a landscaping service, such as Land Craft, to help with your needs.

Ah, caffeine… the sweet white stuff whose primary use is to save our heads from hitting the desk in the mornings.
It is the world’s most commonly used psychoactive drug, and it’s found naturally in the seeds, fruits and leaves of many plants including tea, cacao and yerba mate as well as coffee. For the plants it acts as a pesticide, and for us it acts as a stimulant to our central nervous system.
For many people it is the reason they drink coffee. So what’s with decaf?
Caffeine, it’s kinda coffee’s thing.
In around 800 A.D. Kaldi, a goat herder of Ethiopia, noticed his goats grooving rather quickly after eating the cherries from a bush. So he tried a cherry himself from the busy and he too found himself with an “unherd of” spring in his step. And since then, the coffee plant was cultivated for its vigour-inducing caffeine.
But coffee has come a long way since, in addition to the social reasons of drinking coffee, many of us enjoy the great variation, complexity and depth of flavour in coffee. Because of this, drinking coffee for caffeine has taken a bit of a back seat.
This said, I’m not too sure why decaffeination was explored so early, in 1903, but this is when the first decaf coffee came about. The process first patented was the “Roselius process” and it’s reminiscent of a “triumph of science over nature” situation. Roselius washed the beans in benzene, thus removing the caffeine and successfully getting decaffeinated coffee to market but also raising some “health concerns”. Subsequently, these concerns lead to the demise of the process and a new need for innovation, a sign that there was still interest in coffee without the caffeine. The challenge was (and still is) to retain the flavours of the coffee while removing the caffeine. Today, there are several different processes used by companies, but the one i’d like to focus on is the Swiss Water Process, the process that my Lazy Dog beans go through.
Swiss Water Process
The patented Swiss Water Process was first used in the 1930’s in Switzerland but is now owned by a company in Canada. In Swiss Water a “fodder” batch of green beans is soaked in a bath of water, this water absorbs not only the caffeine from the beans but also oils and other flavoursome compounds from the coffee. The beans are then removed from the bath and discarded. The water, which is now saturated with caffeine and oils etc. from that first batch of beans is then filtered to remove the caffeine. The same bath of goody-saturated water is then used to bathe another batch of beans. Because it’s saturated with all the goodies except the caffeine, this time, only the caffeine is extracted and thus the beans are decaffeinated (97-99%) with maximum flavour retention. The caffeine, once removed is a white powder. It’s sold for it’s use in energy drinks and non-sleepy pills etc.
Decaffeinated beans do pose some difficulties further down the line. The absence of caffeine makes roasting difficult – basically it’s easier to burn. When roasting by hand, the roaster must use their senses and adjust the temperature throughout the roasting process. Since decaf doesn’t have that white, waxy caffeine in it it tends to look and smell different to normal coffee. It takes a skilled roaster to roast it well, and this is perhaps why many who’ve tried decaf won’t like it.
The problem with decaf is that it will never be as good as non-decaffeinated coffee. But if you don’t want the caffeine and do want coffee then it is fantastic. I drink decaf from a plunger on most nights. It’s a fantastic toasty, warm drink. But in the morning? Never.
While decaf will never be as good as non-decaffeinated coffee, when it’s done right by way of starting with good quality beans and roasting it right, it can be brilliant and enjoyed by people who love the coffee without the caffeine.

Hi Riesling fans,
RIESsearchING just turned 1!
1 year and 34 posts later, I have learned a lot!
My grammar is better and my sentences make more sense as in the beginning.
Besides, I have learned so much about Riesling!
Unbelievable, and yet I am learning more every day!
Also in 2 weeks I go for a Germany, Riesling trip.
That’s a little bit to celebrate the 1 year RIESsearchING!
It’s going to be 4 day’s non stop wine!
For this blog:
What if you can’t see the Riesling in between all the other grape varieties with Riesling in the name anymore?
I am going to present you a little guideline and the facts of Riesling
and it’s name stealers!
Because why would you name a grape variety you found after one that
Because they want to pick a little seed of the already famously and great variety
Let’s start off with The one and only Riesling!
Riesling, also called: Weisser, White, Rhein, Rhine, or Johannisberg Riesling, Riesling Renano,Renski Rizling, Rizling Rajinski, …
It’s a white grape variety. Most planted and born in Germany.
Daughter (yes Riesling is a girl) of Gouais Blanc and sister off for instance
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
It is a very aromatic grape variety, with a lot of fruit, a great acidity, picks up the minerality from the soil and not to forget the “norisoprenoid hydrocarbon 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene”or “TDN” to be short. This is the flavor compound in Riesling that creates the Petrol aroma.
Welschriesling, also called: Olasz Riesling, La! Ki Riesling, Rizling Vlassky, Graševina, Riesling Italico, …
It’s also a white grape variety, but is unrelated to the German Riesling.
Welsch even means Unrelated in Germanic languishes.
Most Welschriesling is planted in Eastern Europe.
This grape variety needs a little warmer climate, if too cold the acidity is unpleasantly pungent.
When ripens well it can be great.
Where most just acidic wines with not much more flavors are produced.
But, lately in Austria there are some great dry whited and amazing Eiswein, Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese is made from Welschriesling!
Cape Riesling or Clair Riesling, is actually another grape variety called:
It is a white grape variety, which produces neutral wines.
Most planted in South Afrika and Australia.
Since 2010 Riesling can not be printed anymore on the labels of this wine.
Banat Riesling, also called: Kreaca.
Is a white grape variety grown in Serbia and Romania.
Roter Riesling, actually is Riesling but with a color mutation.
So this variety is very related!
The vine produces mostly a mix of white and pinkish berries.
The wine tastes quite similar but fuller bodied mostly.
I hope to buy a bottle of Roter Riesling wile I’m in Germany.
In Oestrich-Winkel in the Rheingau is Weingut Allendorf, who keeps some Roter Riesling alive and makes wines from the grape!
Let this be your guide when you are not certain what you’re buying!
This will hold some answers for you!
Enjoy reading and enjoy your Riesling!
The wine grape book by Jancis Robinson,…
The purple pages of the Oxford companion on Jancis Robinson.com
See you the next RIESsearchING!

CBD Production: The Most Significant Factor to Produce Better CBD Better Health
Prior to the extraction process beginning our lab determines cannabinoid content and assesses the plants microbiological suitability and then after extraction we further test. Our Lab is (GLP) Good Laboratory Practices Certified ISO 17025 / EC2017. Proving we have reliable and trusted In-House Cannabinoid Testing in GLP compliant laboratory, ensuring all of our CBD products and developed and produced to achieve the same exceptional standards.
Letting It Flourish
Our policy for Low Density spaciously planted hemp allows for full soil nutrient absorption and lets the full sun reach the full plant, allowing the resin rich flowers and leaves to flourish and produce a better extract. Using only organic micro-farms in Croatia and Slovenia, we give our hemp plants room to thrive, free from herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and heavy metals.
Cultivation Growth Process
We care about the impact of our farming practices and take care to manage natural resources and protect local environ- ments. Our Hemp is ecologically grown without the use of pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilisers.
How Safe Is It
Non GMO Verified, ensures products with enhanced nutrient composition and food quality, resistance to pests and disease, greater food security, and medical benefits to the world’s growing population.
We harvest by hand to preserve the integrity of the hemp plant using optimal try comb rightness by taking the upper third part of the plants including the flowers and young leaves.
Flowers And Leaves Make It Best
We use the precious Resin Rich Hemp Flowers and Leaf from the hemp biomass where the most valuable quality cannabinoids are foundleaves alternative oil manufacturers do not use. Their oil is akin to making Strawberry Jam from the stalks and not using the fruit, the most expensive but most vital ingredient.
Dried Hemp is stored in purpose built premises and is another reason for being GMP certified.
Pre Extraction Lab Analysis
Prior to the extraction process beginning our lab determines cannabinoid content and assesses the plants microbiological suitability Our Lab is (GLP) Good Laboratory Practices Certified ISO 17025 / EC2017. Proving we have reliable and trusted In- House Cannabinoid Testing in GLP compliant laboratory, ensuring all of our CBD products and developed and produced to achieve the same exceptional standards.
The first extracts contains a wide range of Terpenes flavonoids waxes and pigments as well as Phyto cannabi- noids and other beneficial active plant attributes. At this stage we determine the Delta nine THC content and determine the next extraction process to have the exact THC level from 0% – 0.2% depending on the end product we are producing (Full Spectrum or Braod Spectrum)
The whole extraction process ensures that we have a GFCC Guaranteed Full Cannabinoid Content. Prolong products cut through a market that is rife with inconsistencies and inaccuracies, to bring you genuine and GFCC Guaranteed Full Cannabinoid products, without compromise.
Planting The Seed

Aspirin Cures Common Plant Headaches
by All Minutolo – Shenandoah Rose Society
The following is a excerpt from the Question and Answer Section of the February
2007 issue of Fine Gardening Magazine. A reader asked if aspirin water promoted plant growth and prevented disease. Rebecca Brown, Professor of Plant Sciences at the University of Rhode Island, replied: “Although the complete effects of treating plants with an aspirin-water solution are unknown, studies have shown that applying salicylic acid (aspirin is acetyl salicylic acid) to plants can induce resistance to pathogens, environmental stresses and some insects. This protection should all the plants to grow more vigorously. Under extremely stressful conditions or those highly favorable to the growth of diseases, however, salicylic acid may not prevent all damage from stress or disease.”
Salicylic acid is a naturally occurring compound in plants. When a plant is
stressed or attacked by a pathogen, this compound stimulates the plants internal defense pathways. Treating a plant with additional salicylic acid appears to trigger the plant’s defense pathways in the same way.
In the summer of 2005, Professor Brown directed a group of master gardeners
with experiments on tomatoes. The effects of two strengths of aspirin water and the commercial product Messenger were compared to plants sprayed with just water. Messenger activates the same internal defense system as salicylic acid but at a different point along the pathway, which may provide broader protection. Because of dry conditions, none of the plants developed any disease. All of the plants grew equally well. Plants treated with a solution of 250 milligrams of aspirin in 1 gallon of water and the plants treated with Messenger yielded more but smaller fruit than the control.
An aspirin-water solution of 250 to 500 milligrams (one or two regular aspirin
tablets) of aspirin per gallon of water provides a solution similar to what has been tested; solutions at higher rates have been shown to burn foliage. Any brand of aspirin will work, but plain, uncoated tablets dissolve best. The solution should be applied every two weeks and my be used to water germinating seeds and new transplants.
Another form of salicylic acid that is gaining attention is willow water, made from
seeping fresh-cut willow branches in water. Willows are naturally high in salicylic acid. The exact amount of salicylic acid in willows is unknown, however, so the amount to use and the timing of application is less certain. Willow water might be worth investigating as a source that could meet organic certification guidelines (neither aspirin nor Messenger do).
While there’s no harm in experimenting with these solutions, keep in mind that
aspirin water and willow water are not register pesticides. All of these products need to be applied preventively, before the first sign of disease. They may prevent infection but will not kill fungi or bacteria already infecting the plant. It may also take two weeks for the salicylic acid to activate the pathway and protect the plant.
Comment: Last year, I used Messenger on roses and cut flowers such as zinnias,
sunflowers and dahlias with noticeable good results. Stems were stronger, flower color more intense and the incidence of powdery mildew, especially on zinnias and dahlias reduced. I do not use chemicals that may be harmful to beneficial insects and my roses suffered severely from Japanese beetle attacks. However, once the beetles ran their cycle, the roses were pruned and they continued to grow vigorously and produce beautiful late blooms. I am anxious to experiment with aspirin water sprays to improve plant health and the scented fabric softener, Bounce to reduce Japanese beetle infestations.

Three days ago, we built a bunch of little indoor greenhouses to try and super charge our seeds and get them into outdoor cold frames a month early this year! You can see our DIY greenhouses here! We thought we would give you a little update on how they are working out!
On day 2, when we went to give them a little spritz of water, we found sprouts in all three of our lettuce varieties! Now, lettuce doesn’t typically take long to germinate, but this has to be a record for us! The very next day was a bit of a pleasant surprise!
Even more amazing is what happened on day three (today!) After lifting the greenhouse lids to water them, we found that the little lettuce plants were nearly reaching the top of plastic!
Almost all of the egg cartons cups had sprouted the seeds. It looks like I might have close to a 90+% germination!
At this rate, we will be taking them out of the greenhouse by the end of the weekend!
We will be keeping a close eye on all of the other seeds. If things keep up at this pace, we will have to build our cold frames outside sooner then later! Make sure to follow along to see that project!!

On 29 September 2014, Luuk van Dijk defended his MSc-thesis research entitled: "Influence of parasitic weeds on rice-weed competition". Luuk was supervised by Lammert Bastiaans and Aad van Ast. Niels Anten was the external examiner of the thesis.
Luuk's presentation can be found here.
Over the last decades rice (Oryza spp) became more important as a staple food crop for the African continent. In two decades, the locally produced rice in Africa doubled to almost 30 Mt in 2013. Still, the local production is insufficient to meet local demand and this particularly holds for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Rice yields in SSA pertain to the lowest in the world. One of the major constraints accountable for these low yields are weeds. The parasitic weeds Striga asiatica and Rhamphicarpa fistulosa can cause devastating yield loses in SSA rice production. Recent field observations suggest that the presence of parasitic weeds influences the competitive relations between rice and non-parasitic (or ordinary) weeds. In the presence of S. asiatica the competitiveness of ordinary weeds was increased, whereas in the presence of R. fistulosa the ordinary weeds were further suppressed. Two pot experiments, carried out under greenhouse conditions, were used to study how the competitive relations between rice and the ordinary weed Mitracarpus villosus was affected by the presence of either S. asiatica or R. fistulosa. Plant dry biomass was used as a measure for the competitive effects. S. asiatica caused significant reductions in total pot biomass compared to pots with rice alone. Such a reduction was however not observed if next to rice also the M. villosus was present. This absence of a reduction in total pot biomass was not because the ordinary weed filled the gap that was created through the negative effect of the parasite on its rice host, rather rice biomass did not decrease in the rice-ordinary weed mixture. Emergence of S. asiatica in this mixture was lower, and this might be accountable for the minor effect of the parasite on the host. It is suggested that the root system of the ordinary weed might have disturbed the establishment of a connection between the host and the parasite, resulting in a reduced emergence of S. asiatica. R. fistulosa reduced rice biomass much more strongly than S. asiatica. In the rice-weed mixture, the ordinary weed was not able to profit from the reduced growth of the rice plant, as R. fistulosa grew fiercely and developed into a strong competitor. Consequently, the competitive ability of the ordinary weed, just as that of the rice plant, was strongly decreased. The experiments clearly show that the presence of a parasitic weed affects the growth and competitive relation between rice and ordinary weeds both directly and indirectly. The outcome of this complex multi-species interaction depends a lot on the parasitic weed species. R. fistulosa showed to be a damaging pest and utilized its ability to parasitize rice to gain a stronger competitiveness against the developed into the species dominating not only the rice, but also the ordinary weed. In case of S. asiatica, the ordinary weed reduced the infestation level of the parasitic weed and consequently the competitive relation between rice and the ordinary weed remained relatively undisturbed.
