Viticulture and Enology
The Department of Viticulture and Enology is renowned for its cutting-edge research and teaching in the science and art of grape growing and winemaking. One of the oldest academic departments at UC Davis, it has provided grape growers and vintners with scientific advances to help California become one of the world’s premier wine-producing regions.
The department was established at the Davis campus upon repeal of Prohibition in 1935, but research into grape growing and winemaking at the University of California began in 1880 at the request of the California legislature. Faculty expertise spans many disciplines—chemistry, genetics, microbiology, chemical engineering, horticulture, pest management, biochemistry, plant physiology and sensory science.
Classic early work categorized California’s grape-growing regions and identified appropriate varieties and clones. Subsequent advances refined vineyard practices such as trellising and canopy management. New knowledge of wine characteristics gave winemakers the tools to customize the aroma and taste of premium wines. Sensory evaluation techniques developed here are used throughout the food and beverage industry. More recently, the health benefits of wine components have been documented.
Graduates of the viticulture and enology department can be found managing vineyards and crafting award-winning wines throughout California and beyond. | agronomy |

Smart-beekeeping product maker Daesung SmartHive unveils its beekeeping smart sensor to monitor temperature and humidity and its automatic feeding-watering device. The overall offering includes the Smarthive Beekeeping Sensor, Wasp Trap, and Hive Controller.
The sensor is usable in all seasons, and consists of an automatic warming device and an automatic feeding and watering device to continuously monitor and maintain the hive. It enables management of dozens to hundreds of hives via a smartphone app. Beekeepers can check, manage, and control hive temperature, humidity, air circulation, and hive entrance control.
Other products include an eco-friendly wasp trap that does not use any attractant such as fermented liquid that attracts and kills all insects around the trap, causing damage to the insect ecosystem. The wasp trap installs at the entrance of the hive and exploits the wasp’s habit of following bees.
Once the wasps are stuck inside the trap frame, the bees safely find their way into the hive through the bee pathway. This eliminates the need to be present at the apiary to manually remove wasps, reducing costs for labor and other control products.
Also on tap, the company’s Hive Controller is a portable smart beekeeping system that safely takes out honeycombs from beehives, brushes bees, and stacks honeycombs outside beehives in approximately one minute. It weighs 9kg, is waterproof, and promises to reduce working time by 50% compared existing products.
Daesung CEO Mr. Jung said, “We expect to be able to help beekeeping farmers who are suffering from the recent disappearance of bees.” For a better buzz, visit the Smart Hive website.

Tree Care If you want your pomegranate to grow in a tree form, you will need to prune the many suckers that sprout up from the base of the trunk. Pomegranates are self-pollinating, so you only need one to set fruit. If your climate and soil are favorable, you can root hardwood cuttings in a trench to be transplanted the next year. Each pomegranate contains between 500 and 1000 seeds (or more correctly, the pink-red orbs that contain the seeds), which can be used in a variety of sweet and savoury dishes. You can (and should) start your Pomegranate seeds indoors over the winter and then plant them outside in the spring after the last threat of frost. Kashmir Pomegranate: This variety is best if you want to cook with the seeds (arils), which are firmer in texture and have a more sour taste. Spacing Pomegranates. They are relatively hardy and will bear fruit within the second year. Grow two pomegranates if you have room; cross-pollination can increase the yield. Pomegranate shrubs grow in climate zones 7-10. For fruitful production, pomegranate trees require 50 to 60 inches of rain per year, or weekly irrigation to compensate for the lack of natural moisture. Moreover, pomegranate is more cold hardy and easy to grow. During growth, water freely and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly. When it comes to indoor pomegranate trees, you can supplement the lack of natural bright light by using fluorescent bulbs or grow lights. Trench Method of Propagation for Hardwood Cuttings. As with any fruit producing plant, make sure the plant is well fertilized in well drained soil. Even though mature plants can handle some cold, wait until freezing weather has passed before planting your seedlings. Vegetable prices at the supermarket seem to just keep going up and up.

Blooming pomegranate tree is a great addition to any garden and many people grow them not only for their fruits, but also for their flowers. Your pomegranates can begin to fruit within a year of planting.

It started as a traditional arable farm when James Millar Snr and his family moved north from Berwickshire to begin farming here in 1963. Jimmy and Isobel spent the next 50 years building and developing the farm and estate into Kilduff as it stands today.
Family run farming
Kilduff Farm is now run by Russell who grew up at Kilduff watching his grandfather manage the land, and over the years developed a strong passion for farming and rural life. Having graduated from studying agriculture at university and worked on the farm during holidays, Russell took the reins from his grandfather in 2010. Since then Russell, together with his wife Lucy, has developed the business to respond to the challenges facing modern day farming while always being mindful of the principals learned from his grandparents before him.

Did you know that organic farming can help to combat climate change? Pesticides and synthetic fertilisers, as used in conventional farming methods, are banned under organic farming standards. Conventional methods derive fertilisers through the burning fossil fuels. Organic farms create fertilisers from natural by-products, which is better for the land and the animals, while also helping to reduce emissions.
Organic soils are much healthier as they have a higher percentage of organic matter than soils on conventional farms. This is due to the higher level of manure and compost used on organic farms which put much needed nutrients back into the soil. As a result, organic soils can store more carbon from the atmosphere and also more water, making organic farms more resilient in the face of climate change.
Cows are often named as big producers of greenhouse gases. Here at Ffosyficer Farm, home of Daioni Organic, we are taking extra steps to reduce our emissions. Seaweed has been proven to reduce methane emissions by up to 80% when added as a feed supplement. As well as this, it is a natural source of vitamins and minerals, making it a winner all round!

Poppy seeds can be quickly grown when planted in excellent soil. They can also be sprouted in containers before being planted directly in your garden. Get the Best information about Poppy pods.
Directly seeded poppies typically bloom in spring or autumn, depending on your climate and hardiness zone. They’re easy to care for and self-seed readily for next year’s display!
Poppies are easy to grow from seed and can be planted directly into your garden or as part of a wildflower mix. Although they tolerate some shade, for maximum color display, they require six or more hours of direct sunlight each day and well-draining soil with pH between 6.0 and 7.5; indoor planting should take place approximately eight weeks before your expected frost date; seedlings can also be transplanted at the seedling stage, but roots don’t like being disturbed!
Plant annual poppies as soon as the ground can be worked in early spring or late autumn after the last frost. Poppy seeds germinate best in cool temperatures, and many varieties self-sow, so you’ll have a steady supply of flowers from one planting spot next year.
Sow your seeds according to the instructions on their packet or plant’s growing instructions. Spread evenly or scatter in natural drifts for more effective distribution; some people find using a hand-held seed sower more convenient for more uniform results.
After sowing, lightly press down on the soil’s surface to help ensure that seeds remain in contact with it and avoid being buried by it. According to Ravalli Republic, A material that keeps dirt moist without becoming soggy – such as newspaper or old row cover scraps – may help encourage germination while discouraging birds and mice from damaging young plants. As poppy seedlings begin growing, water them daily until they are an inch tall before decreasing frequency until completely stopping all watering efforts.
Once your flowers begin to fade, gather any seed pods that have fallen to the ground and add them to a compost pile. From here, they can be pressed for oil or dried for crafts or floral arrangements; their seeds swell up into more attractive decorations when dried.
Poppy flowers flourish best in full sun with loose, rich, and well-drained soil and in relaxed environments where their seeds take several cold days to germinate. For optimal success, it is best to sow seeds as early in spring as possible, at least one month before your average final frost date. However, late summer planting can still often yield successful crops due to poppy seeds being able to remain dormant until it’s the right climate conditions.
As soon as you sow the seeds, cover the soil with a thin layer of organic material, such as mulch or straw, to protect it from washing away. This light cover helps the seedlings retain moisture while keeping weeds at bay in your poppy patch. It is essential that this covering be kept on for several weeks following sowing as poppy seeds require moist conditions to thrive; once seedlings reach an inch tall, you can remove this cover.
Once seedlings are established, water them regularly but never excessively. Poppies can become susceptible to root rot if exposed to too much moisture; on the other hand, too little humidity could result in them drying out and stopping growing altogether. Therefore, weather and soil conditions must be monitored closely to provide optimal growing conditions for these delicate blooms.
Regular watering only needs to be supplemented during drought or heat waves; once established, poppy plants are highly drought tolerant, making them perfect for any water-wise garden scheme.
When harvesting poppy flowers, cut their stems as close to their base as possible to encourage new flower formation and reseeding. If you prefer not to wait until their petals drop seeds naturally, deadheading your plant by cutting the flower as soon as it begins wilting can extend the bloom period and make your plant look neater.
Poppies require special care when fertilizing, as commercial fertilizers can easily overfeed their blooms, producing too many leaves without having flowers. Instead, try using a phosphorous-rich fertilizer to promote both growth and flowering.
Most poppy varieties are hardy annuals that require little care after planting. They thrive best in full sun with average to rich soil conditions, so you should plant yours early spring or fall once several hard frosts have passed and then shake the seed pods off in late summer or fall to collect their seeds for next year. If you live in a colder climate, store these seeds in a sealed jar inside your refrigerator – they should germinate and bloom come spring!
Grow poppies in containers to add drama and variety to your garden! Poppies thrive in large pots and planters, though you should remember they require additional watering due to soil drying out faster in containers than in-ground beds. Use potting mix specifically designed for flowers and Scotts Osmocote(r) Controlled Release Fertilizer for Pots and Planters when fertilizing these flowers.
When cultivating perennial poppy seedlings, lightly fertilize them monthly using liquid or granular organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion or GS Plant Food. Both come in gallon containers for easy application while promising increased crop yields, plant strength, and resistance against disease. Liquid fish fertilizers offer added convenience by making applications easier than their solid counterparts.
Oriental poppies stand out among garden flowers because they thrive best in average to rich soils and require additional care than most garden flowers. Till your soil to a depth of 12-18 inches before adding 2- to 4 inches of composted manure, vegetable compost, or another organic material such as blood meals, bone meals, or alfalfa for best results.
Please ensure the planting area is free from weeds until your poppies have taken root, then pull any that appear regularly to keep them from crowding out your plants. Keep watering these blooms regularly (moist but not soaking) until flowering completes, then gradually reduce their intake as they finish flowering.
Poppy plants make an attractive addition to any flower garden. Their hardiness means that with proper care, these blooms can last many years of blooming beauty in your outdoor spaces.
Poppy seeds make for a delightful addition to baked goods like cakes and loaves of bread, adding color, texture, crunchiness, and crunchiness. Furthermore, their calcium, iron, and fiber content make them nutritious to add to your daily diet.
Poppy seeds may be safe to consume, but it is important to remember they come from the same plant used to manufacture opioids such as heroin. Washing and cooking usually eliminate most narcotic chemicals – a vital consideration when eating poppy seeds is to not accidentally ingest opioid compounds that may trigger positive drug test results in some individuals.
Poppies bloom quickly, making their flowers best enjoyed fresh from the garden. Therefore, deadheading faded flowers regularly will encourage longer displays and help the plants set seed; their seeds can be dried for easy use in baking and decorating.
To harvest seeds, allow pods to mature until they turn light brown and rattle in their shells – this should indicate when the seeds are ready for removal. You may also harvest your seeds earlier by cutting pods off and leaving them to dry in an open environment until they break open on their own – Once this has happened, you can collect and store the seeds for up to two years in a sealed jar.
While many cultivars of poppy seeds can be started from seeds, it is typically easier and faster to start them at a nursery. Before purchasing them, ensure they have been checked for disease and insect pests; plant them in well-draining soil with plenty of moisture for proper moisture levels – this will prevent fungal issues, such as blight, from infiltrating your plants! | agronomy |

This succulent is loved by many gardeners for its ease of care and its ability to add life to almost any room.
Even though this succulent doesn’t require much care it’s still very important to know the level of care you need to provide. Because with succulents, in many cases, providing too much care is what ends up killing them.
So, we have created a list of the best tips and tricks for caring for your Sedum Clavatum, so that you can take care of your succulent knowing that you’re providing the environment it needs to thrive and be healthy.
What Is A Sedum Clavatum?
The Sedum Clavatum, also known as the Tiscalatengo Gorge Sedum, is a succulent species of the Sedum genus from the Crassulaceae family.
Originating from southern Mexico, the Sedum Clavatum grows plump greenish-blue leaves with pinkish tips that form into a rosette and blooms white star-shaped flowers in mid and late spring to early summer.
Because of their habit of growing spread out, they are perfect for hanging pots for the indoors and are a nice filler plant for decorating rock gardens. This succulent flourishes in semi-dry to arid climates but can be grown in different climates with the right care and precautions.
What Is The Common Name Of The Sedum Clavatum?
The common name of the Sedum Clavatum is stone crop even though it is not very widely used.
The Sedum genus, is known as the “stone crop” because they need little more care than stones.
This makes this plant perfect for beginners and those that don’t really want caring for plants to turn into a part time job, but still would appreciate them looking good.
The species name, Clavatum, comes from the Latin word “clava”, meaning club, referring the succulent’s sepals having a shape resembling a baseball.
The more common but still technical name Tiscalatengo Gorge Sedum refers to where the succulent originated from, Tiscalatengo Gorge, an area in the Volcanic Belt near Villa Guerrero in Mexico.
History Of The Sedum Clavatum
Originating from Tiscalatengo Gorge in Mexico, the Sedum Clavatum was discovered by a Cornel Professor of Botany named Robert Clausen in 1959 and named the Sedum’s species “Clavatum” in 1975. The specie’s name “Clavatum” comes from the Latin word “clava”, meaning club, to describe the plant’s leaves having a baseball shape.
How To Take Care Of A Stone Crop Succulent?
Although the Sedum Clavatum is considered to be an easy succulent to take care of, it is important to know the right soil, fertilizer, amount of water, and how much sunlight to expose you succulent to so that you can successfully grow your succulent into the beautiful flowering plant that it can be.
For soil and potting, it is best to use something that provides good drainage. It is best to plant your succulent in cactus soil because it drains water pretty quickly. Same thing with potting, you want a drainage system for your pot so that it can drain any excess water from your soil.
Generally a pot with elevated drain holes in the bottom sitting on a tray that the overflow can be caught on is a pretty good, super low maintenance system that works well.
The reason why it is important to implement a good drainage system for the soil and potting is because too much water will cause root rot and severely damage your succulent even to the point of it dying.
For the Sedum genus, they need little to no fertilizer and if you do plan to give it some fertilizer, it is best to give it only a little during the spring and fall. The most preferred option is to use an all-purpose granular fertilizer with equal amounts of phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen.
You should give your Sedum Clavatum water only when the soil feels dry and when you do, water it thoroughly. Keep the Golden rule of watering in mind when watering your succulent; keep your succulent dry between watering and only water it when the soil is bone dry.
It is important that you don’t over water your succulent because it will cause rot and can kill your plant.
You should expose your Sedum Clavatum to 4 to 6 hours of partial sunlight each day. This succulent can be grown indoors and outdoors, whether you put it on a windowsill or in your garden.
However, it is important to check your succulent for any signs of flattening or crinkling of the leaves. This means that you succulent is getting too much sunlight and should be put into some partial shade so that it can cool down.
The ideal temperatures to grow your Sedum Clavatum is anywhere between 59° F to 78° F (15° C to 26° C). The minimum temperature to grow your succulent is 30° F (-1.1 ° C), anything below that is too cold and your succulent can die.
If temperatures where you live tend to get below 30° F (-1.1 ° C), it is best to put your succulent in a transportable container so that it can be easily transported indoors until temperatures outside warm up.
This succulent is not considered cold hardy and will likely die when exposed to freezing temperatures and will definitely perish when exposed for long periods of time.
What Soil Is Best For The Sedum Clavatum?
The best soil to plant your Sedum Clavatum in is one that provides good drainage, like cactus soil. You can use 90% sand and 10% organic material and do just fine.
Rotting at the base of the plant is caused from over watering or standing in water when the soil can’t drain water very well. From that, the rot will eat away and deteriorate your succulent’s roots and stem, killing it slowly in the process.
To decrease the instances of root rot be sure to check your plants soil for standing water. This is the death knell for many succulents, especially this one.
What Fertilizer Should I Use For The Stone Crop Succulent?
The best fertilizer to use for the Sedum Clavatum is an all-purpose granular fertilizer with equal amounts of phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen. Sedums can go with little to no fertilizer, so it’s best to give it a small amount of fertilizer during the spring and or early summer and then no other fertilization’s for the remainder of the year.
How Often Should I Water My Sedum Clavatum?
You should water your succulent deeply and thoroughly when the soil feels bone dry. By following the Golden rule of Watering, it will help you keep in schedule so that you don’t over water your succulent.
That rule is: Only water this succulent when the soil is completely dry. When you water it, soak the soil, but do not pour the water on top of the plant itself.
This plant goes dormant in the winter so even more infrequent watering is the norm of the season.
How Much Sunlight Should I Expose My Sedum Clavatum To?
You should expose your Sedum Clavatum to 4-6 hours of partial sunlight, whether its outside or inside.
If you notice your succulent looks deflated or crinkling, it means that your plant is getting too much sunlight and can get sunburned. Put your succulent in partial shade until its symptoms clear up.
If you have a corner that gets only half a day’s sun or so, but is blocked from the sun the rest of the day, then that is a great spot for this plant.
What Temperatures Are Ideal For The Stone Crop Succulent?
The ideal temperatures for the Sedum Clavatum are between 59° F to 78° F (15° C to 26° C), anything below 30° F (-1.1 ° C) is considered too cold for the succulent and it can die.
If temperatures where you live tend to get below the minimum temperature, plant your succulent in a portable container so that it can be transported indoors until temperatures outside warm up again.
This is not considered a cold hardy succulent and if left in freezing temperatures it will freeze and may never recover. So, be sure to keep it within it’s prescribed temperature ranges for best results.
How To Propagate The Stone Crop Succulent?
The best way to propagate the Sedum Clavatum is by cuttings. By using a sterilized cutting tool like a knife or scissors, cut off a stem from the succulent cluster and let it callouses over the next day or two before planting it in a pot of soil that has just been soaked and allowed to drain.
Then only water the cutting when the soil is dry just as you would the mother plant.
Is The Sedum Clavatum Toxic To Pets?
Although the Sedum genus has a large number of species including this one that are considered non-toxic to pets and humans, it should still be noted that a few of the other species can be toxic. Refer to a doctor or veterinarian if you or your pet have consumed large quantities of the succulent.
Even though it’s considered nontoxic, you’re better off safe than sorry.
Is The Sedum Clavatum Edible?
It is stated that all leaves of the Sedum genus are edible, with the Yellow Stone Crop being the most common for consumption. Still, with the flavor being incredibly bitter it would not be high on our recommendations list.
Why Is My Sedum Clavatum Dying?
Your Sedum Clavatum is most likely dying from over watering or not enough watering. Your plant can dry up from not getting enough water and die, and it can develop root rot and stem rot from over watering and standing water.
If the leaves become shriveled and crinkly, then it being under watered. Soak it and check it more often only watering when the soil becomes bone dry again.
If the leaves are yellow and mushy, then this is a sign of over watering. Let the soil become bone dry before your next watering and be sure not to pour the water over the plant but just into the soil around it.
Why Are My Stone Crop Succulent Leaves Falling Off?
Your Sedum Clavatum leaves can fall off from both over watering and not getting enough water. They can turn yellow and mushy before the fall off from the stem if over watered and they can deflate and crinkle up if under watered.
If the plant is over watered, allow the plant to use up the water that is has and let the soil become bone dry to the touch.
If it’s being under watered, then give it a good soaking and start checking it more often to see if the soil is bone dry to the touch. If it is, then water it again, if not, then don’t.
Is The Sedum Clavatum An Indoor Or Outdoor Plant?
The Sedum Clavatum is both and indoor and outdoor plant, perfect for adding life to your home and decorating your garden. Nothing changes other than temperatures. If temperatures where you live tend to get below 30° F (-1.1 ° C), it is best to plant your succulent in a portable container so that you can bring it indoors until temperatures outside warm up again.
What Are The Most Common Sedum Clavatum Pests And Diseases?
The most common Sedum Clavatum pests and diseases are aphids and rot.
Aphids can be identified on a succulent by looking for small moving specks varying from white, black, yellow and even pink. You can get rid of them by spraying your succulent with a home-made mix of water and dish soap, continue spraying your succulent for a few weeks until they’re gone. A good mixture will be just one tablespoon of dish soap per quart of water.
Rot is one of the most common diseases that all succulents are susceptible to. Rot can be caused from over watering or standing water. You can avoid this by following the Golden rule of watering to help you keep in check on how often you should water your plant, only when the soil feels bone dry. Then give it a full soaking and let it dry out again. | agronomy |

Sally Jenkins is living her dream. She left a teaching job in Bristol and bought a smallholding near Pensford in Somerset with her partner, Tom Wilding, where they raise cattle and pigs and grow vegetables to sell locally. But it doesn’t stop there, Sally and Tom want to share the land at Wild Things Farm and encourage others to start new enterprises.
Sally told us about it when she paid a visit to the Oxford Real Farming Conference:
In the past, Sally, and her company Green Feasts, were involved in initiatives in the Montpelier area of Bristol – setting up an urban greening project, converting public spaces into productive, attractive growing areas and engaging local people. She sees Wild Things Farm as an extension of that.
School children already visit Wild Things Farm on organised trips and, in the future, Sally and Tom hope to establish different food production systems and offer agricultural apprenticeships to young people. They are building a barn on the site with space for multiple uses including a poultry hatchery, brooding room and food processing kitchen.
At the moment, sales of vegetables and meat are mainly through local markets and by word of mouth but Sally and Tom are looking to take Wild Things Farm to the next level, increasing both the amount and range of produce. In future, Wild Things Farm will offer free-range poultry and eggs as well as fruit and nuts.
Sally and Tom’s key aims are to provide a source of affordable, nutritious, sustainably produced food, enhance the wildlife on the site, spread awareness of healthy and sustainable lifestyles and become an educational and recreational asset to the local area. Sally is open to new ideas: “We really want to share the land with people who want to experiment. We want business start-ups and youth enterprises, so I've had all these ideas about a youth dairy business that makes their own yoghurts and ice creams, mushroom growing businesses or wormery businesses. We are very open to sharing the land and the facilities with others.”

GUIDELINES FOR SELECTING PLANTS AND PLANTING A POLLINATOR GARDEN:
WHY NATIVE PERENNIALS?
Why do we sell native and naturalized perennials? Native wildflowers, particularly perennials, are perhaps the best source of pollen and nectar for pollinators, in both quantity and quality. Other growth forms, such as native trees, shrubs and vines, as well as many annuals and herbs, can be great additions to extend foraging options.
Selecting plants for pollinators is a rather specific task. The native pollinators of your area have a long evolutionary history tied closely with the native plants of your region and, understandably, have a preference for what they are used to, in some cases, they simply won't visit or can't digest most newcomer or exotic plants. Researchers such as Douglas Tallamy, author of Bringing Nature Home and Nature's Best Hope, see our Resources page, are finding that native insects NEED native plants, meaning plants native to your region.
We, at Northeast Pollinator Plants, include some long-term naturalized plants, plants that have been introduced to our region and have become established, only if they have proven to be non-invasive and are of significant value to pollinators.
Meanwhile, other researchers, like Annie White, a graduate of the University of Vermont, (who had a research plot on our farm, lucky us!) was trying to determine if cultivars of native plants, human-manipulated plant species that have, say double flowers, stronger colors or more compact growth, could be just as appealing to the local insects. Cultivars are generally identified in single quotations after the species name such as Echinacea purpurea 'Magnus', 'Magnus' being a cultivar of the native purple coneflower. It sounds like there MAY be some cultivars that will satisfy the pollinators, but mostly they would rather you stuck to those true native plants.
I say, hey, we humans can adjust OUR aesthetic, and learn to love the maybe less showy true native plants and, in exchange, enjoy the incredible dance of the native pollinators and the satisfaction in knowing we are keeping our landscape ALIVE!!
Ideally, you would be selecting native wildflowers from seeds collected from a nearby source. We, at Northeast Pollinator Plants, are getting there, each year increasing our production from seeds that have been wild collected from our region.
If you are a willing seed-collector of species we are offering, and in the New England and New York states region, please let me know!! We have developed a website to encourage wild seed collectors, please take a look:
But how about the non-native, and oh so valuable, honeybees and their beekeepers? The pollinator plants offered here will be big hits with the honeybees, while attracting more native bees will make them more efficient foragers.
SIZING YOUR GARDEN AND SELECTING PLANTS:
An ideal pollinator garden should offer constant and overlapping flowering of native wildflowers from early spring to late fall. To do this, Xerces Society suggests selecting:
At least 9 species of wildflowers with 3 early-flowering, 3 mid-flowering and 3 late-flowering, offering a variety of flower colors, shapes and sizes to appeal to a diversity of native pollinators AND,
Add at least 1 native grass for nesting sites and material, AND
Plant in swaths of 8 of each species for more efficient foraging.
Using these guidelines, we have created several Pollinator Garden mixes for varying sun/shade and soil conditions. Selecting the quantity four (4) of a garden collection, which includes 21 plants, for a total of 84 plants, will get you closest to the guideline, giving you 8 plants each of 10 flowering species plus 4 plants of 1 native grass species. You may also make your own collection or enhance your existing garden by selecting from the list of individual plant species.
Every little bit can help! Don't fret if you don't have the space or budget for meeting the guidelines suggested above, but plant what you can and know you are part of the solution.
"GARDEN" PLANTS OR "NATURALIZING" PLANTS:
You may have noticed already, we describe our plants in the Uses description as either "Garden" plants or "Naturalizing" plants".
"Garden" plants tend to be well-behaved and long-lasting and generally should be just fine in a garden setting. A note of caution though, these ARE wild flowers, so the Garden category is a relative term. You will find that some that are called Garden plants will still do a bit of reseeding and require a tad bit of weeding out each year. While others, like Echinacea purpurea, the beloved purple coneflower, can be frustratingly short-lived, but such a sweet plant we keep it in the Garden plants category.
"Naturalizing" plants, on the other hand, are ones that are more at the other end of the spectrum, being more short-lived but rather rambunctious in reseeding or spreading through rhizomatic roots, or both. These plants are more suited to a cottage garden or meadow situation, where the gardener allows the plants to spread and reseed as they please, with some gentle editing to keep the more aggressive spreaders from taking more "turf" than their fair share.
The following spreadsheets show the plants offered on Northeast Pollinator Plants as two sheets, Garden plants and Naturalizing plants, with their flowering time and color, which can help you select plants to ensure that you are providing a diversity of flower colors and constant and overlapping flowering times.
I know, the quality of these really important sheets, is not great. If you would like to have the pollinator plant palette emailed to you, please email with your request. See Contact Us below.
SUN-PART/SHADE-PART and DRY-MOIST/MOIST-WET, HOW TO JUDGE:
If your garden receives 4 or more hours of direct sun, it's safe for plants in the sun/part sun category. If less than 4 hours of direct sun, select plants in the shade/part shade category.
The dry-moist/moist-wet refers to the texture, or size of the particles, of the soil in your garden. Sandy soils have larger particles and tend to be dry while clay soils have tiny particles and tend to hold water longer and are often wet. Loamy soils are in the middle.
To test your soil, grab a small handful and squeeze it to form a ball in your hand. If the soil ball doesn't really hold together when you open your hand, you likely have pretty sandy, dry soils. If the ball holds together, try squeezing the soil out of your hand between your thumb and forefinger to form a ribbon. If you can easily form a ribbon, you likely have clay, wet soils. If the ribbon starts to form but breaks off quickly upon forming, it is likely loamy soil which gives you the most flexibility and can select plants rated for dry-moist or moist-wet soils.
PLANNING YOUR GARDEN:
It's a good idea to plan out your garden before you start planting. You can start by drawing out your plan or simply placing the pots on the prepared bed. We suggest laying out the wildflowers and native grasses about 2' apart, which would be 4 s.f. per plant. Multiply the number of plants you have by 4 and that's how much square foot space you should allow for your pollinator garden.
If you are planting a garden with ground covers plants, plant these plants in between your other pollinator plants/wildflowers that are at 2' apart; so that the whole garden is planted essentially with plants 1' apart. See the diagram here with o's for the pollinator plants/wildflowers and x's for the ground covers and g for the native grass.
It can be nice to arrange the plants in swaths of single species for a less chaotic look for us humans and for more efficient foraging for the pollinators, who tend to stick to one species at a time, before moving on to the next. Be sure to create places for you, the humans, to sit and observe the pollinators in action.
Also, you may want to consider pathways in your garden to allow wandering about to observe pollinators in action and to allow maintenance without stepping on your plants. Many of the native wildflowers can get pretty big, so leave at least 6'-8' between plants where you would like the path.
PREPARING YOUR PLANTING AREA:
The main goal when clearing an area to be planted to perennials is to turn the soil as little as possible, to avoid bringing weed seeds to the surface.
IF THE AREA IS CURRENTLY LAWN...
Bravo!! Replacing lawn with habitat is a win-win. Lawn provides little to no habitat while, according to the EPA, on average, mowing for one hour pollutes as much as driving your car 100 miles. For most folks, that translates your weekend mowing into polluting as much as your weekly commute! My motto: "Lawn only where you REALLY need it!"
Anyway, there are a couple ways to get rid of that lawn. The easiest and quickest, is to rent a sod-cutter and dump that nasty lawn in the compost pile. If you're truly industrious you can do this by hand with a spade or hand sod-cutter. If you're more patient than me, you can also rid yourself of the lawn by "sheet mulching" or "solarization"; this will require many months to a year. Web-search those words for plenty of tips on how to do that.
Once the soil is bare, you don't really want to amend the soil much as wildflowers are happiest in the more barren soils of the wild.
IF THE AREA IS CURRENTLY A GARDEN...
If the garden is weed-free, you're ready to plant. Amended soils, in other words, enriched with fertilizers and/or years of compost layering, can sometimes be too rich for wildflowers which tend to be happier in, as stated above, the more barren soils of the wild. Not much you can do to reduce the nutrient level, but let time take its course. Some of the wildflowers may stretch a bit the first couple years. I'll admit, I do tend to add a tiny bit of peat or compost in each planting hole, maybe just out of habit, but feel like it does help hold the moisture while the small plant is getting established.
PLANTING THE PLANTS:
We grow our plants in biodegradable pots which can be planted directly in the ground. There's no reason to remove the pot from the plant and a good idea not to disturb the roots anymore than you need to. You should, however, push down or peel off the very top edge of the pot to the level of the potting mix, so that the pot won't stick above the ground when you plant. If it did, it could wick dry and cause the plant to dry out too fast.
Plants in biodegradable pots tend to dry out more quickly than in plastic pots so be sure to keep your babies moist while they are waiting to get planted. Before laying out your plants, water them to near saturation and don't let them sit out too long in the hot sun or breeze to dry out.
Once you've got your garden planted, mulching is a choice. The majority of native bees are ground-nesting. Mulch is definitely a deterrent for nesting. If you're planting a garden with ground covers, no need to add mulch; but you should hoe your garden weekly for the first season and maybe a bit the next year, depending on when you planted, to reduce weed pressure while the ground cover is taking hold. (My favorite pollinator ground covers are Viola sororias, Common Violet, Prunella vulgaris, Self-Heal, and Fragaria virginiana, Wild Strawberry). if you do mulch your garden and don't have much bare sandy soil around, consider adding a designated bee-nesting-sand-box (18" deep) and make sure you label it clearly. Bee nesting and children's sand boxes are not a pleasant mix.
Keep your newly planted garden watered every day for at least the next two weeks, until those little roots are well established and out there doing the work of seeking out water and nutrients.
MAINTAINING YOUR POLLINATOR GARDEN:
First off, let your neighbors and visitors know you have planted a pollinator garden. A great way is to put up a "Pollinator Habitat" sign available from Xerces Society. http://www.xerces.org/pollinatorhabitatsign/ How about being counted and registering your garden with the Million Pollinator Gardens Challenge. http://millionpollinatorgardens.org/
Your new pollinator garden will need a moderate amount of attention, particularly the first couple years after planting to keep down the weeds while the plants claim their space and to keep in check the bit of reseeding to which some of the species may be prone. If you have mulched your garden, you will likely need to put a fresh layer of mulch the first couple years, until the plants have truly filled in.
A tradition of many gardeners is to "clean up" their perennials in the fall. Some argue this is important to reduce disease issues. Well, sure, if you have a disease issue, that plant should be cut back. BUT, in general, there really is no need to cut back your perennials. The seed heads are valuable wildlife food and the stems and leaf litter are important nesting and overwintering sites for all kinds of critters including many pollinators. If you simply must "clean up" your pollinator garden, (this is your aesthetic, not the bee's, and simply is not necessary), wait until spring, after there have been at least 5 days of day-time temperatures above 50 degrees F. This should allow ample time for any overwintering creatures to have moved on with their lives.
On a related note, leave the leaves, and this is not just in your pollinator garden. As the leaves break down, they are a natural mulch and very important natural fertilizer. In general, they will blow and gather where they can be of most use, under your shrubs and perennials. You can certainly rake up and deposit them where they need to be, if the wind is not aiming where you want them. If you have simply more leaves than you can use, and you have room, try creating a leaf compost area, or donate your leaves to a friend of neighbor who is not rich in this amazing resource.
There should be no need to add any fertilizers (other than the leaves just discussed) and definitely NO pesticides for your pollinator garden. The latter is such an important topic, we'll create a separate heading for it...
PESTICIDES IN YOUR LANDSCAPE:
While it should be clear you do not want pesticides applied in your pollinator garden, it is important to minimize the use of pesticides in your landscape. As farmers, we understand that some crops simply cannot be grown without pesticides. But there is the decision on whether to even grow that crop and some choices on what pesticides, cultural or biological agents you can employ, to reduce the pest issue while causing the least amount of harm to non-targeted species. We each have a responsibility to choose our crops and plants in our landscapes that minimize the need for harmful maintenance.
Neonicotinoids are a class of pesticides that was introduced in the 1980s and have become immensely pervasive in the agriculture, horticulture and landscape maintenance industries. These pesticides are systemic meaning once applied they pervade the entire plant and are expressed in all parts including the pollen.
Many nurseries have made a commitment to not selling plants that have been treated with neonicotinoids, due to their proven harm to pollinators, especially bees. When purchasing plants, ask your nursery or garden center if the plants have been treated with neonicotinoids. It can be a challenge for growers to access plants that have NOT have neonicotinoids applied; really, these pesticides are that pervasive. Your asking and not purchasing plants that have been treated with neonicotinoids is a step in activism to protect our pollinators.

Exploring the Profitability of Beekeeping
Introduction: Beekeeping and Its Appeal
Beekeeping has captivated the interest of homesteaders and nature enthusiasts due to its multifaceted benefits. Apart from the production of honey, beekeeping enhances vegetable yields through improved pollination, contributes to biodiversity conservation, and provides an opportunity for generating income. Bee products, such as beeswax, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, and even bee removal and pollination services, can be valuable revenue streams for beekeepers.
Factors Affecting Beekeepers' Income
The income of beekeepers can vary significantly based on several factors. These factors include:
Location and Market Conditions
The geographic location of the beekeeping operation and the prevailing market conditions play a crucial role in determining potential earnings. Local demand for honey and other bee products, as well as competition, affect the prices and profitability of beekeeping ventures.
Experience and Expertise
Experienced beekeepers often have an advantage in maximizing their earnings. As with any profession, experience brings knowledge of efficient hive management, disease prevention, and effective honey production techniques. This expertise can lead to increased productivity and improved financial outcomes.
Scale of Operations
The number of beehives maintained by a beekeeper directly impacts their potential income. Larger-scale operations, often with over 200 beehives, are more likely to generate a full-time income. However, even small-scale beekeepers can make a profit by collaborating with others, sharing equipment, and exploring niche markets.
Available Nectar Sources
Access to abundant nectar sources is essential for successful honey production. The availability and diversity of flowering plants in the surrounding area determine the honey yield and the ability to command premium prices for high-quality raw honey.
Start-up Costs and Investment
Starting a beekeeping venture requires an initial investment, which includes various expenses such as hives, bees, equipment, and protective gear. While start-up costs can vary depending on individual circumstances and region, it is relatively affordable compared to many other agricultural or business endeavors.
Here is an estimate of the costs involved:
- Complete Langstroth hive: Approximately $270.
- Nucleus colony: $180-$250.
- Bee package: $125-$200.
- Essential tools: Around $40.
- Protective gear: $20-$160.
It is important to note that these estimates are subject to variations based on location, suppliers, and personal preferences. Additionally, ongoing expenses for equipment replacement and regular maintenance should be considered in the long-term financial planning of a beekeeping business.
Income Sources in Beekeeping
Beekeepers have the potential to generate income through various sources:
Honey is one of the primary revenue streams for beekeepers. The profitability of honey sales depends on factors such as honey quality, local demand, and competition. Beekeepers can differentiate their products by offering premium, raw honey that appeals to health-conscious consumers and culinary enthusiasts.
Bee Products and Services
Apart from honey, beekeepers can explore other bee products and services to diversify their income. These include beeswax, pollen, propolis, and royal jelly, as well as offering bee removal and pollination services. By tapping into these additional revenue streams, beekeepers can enhance their financial sustainability and resilience.
Profitability of Beekeeping: Case Studies
The profitability of beekeeping is best understood through real-world examples. Let's take a look at two scenarios:
Scenario A: Small-scale Beekeeper
A small-scale beekeeper with a few hives can generate an annual profit ranging from $300 to $500 per hive. By focusing on niche markets, providing value-added products, and engaging in local direct sales, small-scale beekeepers can increase their profitability.
Scenario B: Large-scale Beekeeping Operation
Establishing a larger-scale beekeeping operation with over 200 beehives has the potential to generate a full-time income. Scaling up allows beekeepers to benefit from economies of scale and target wider markets. However, it is essential to balance growth with effective hive management and quality control to ensure sustained profitability.
Beekeeping as a Viable Business Opportunity
Beekeeping offers a profitable opportunity for those who are passionate about bees and nature. While start-up costs and initial investments are necessary, the potential for sustainable income, improved crop yields, and valuable bee products make it an attractive endeavor. Starting with a few hives and gradually gaining experience is often the recommended approach for profitable beekeeping.
Beekeeping requires dedication, ongoing learning, and adaptation to changing market conditions. It is crucial to analyze costs, manage cash flows, and explore opportunities for collaboration and diversification. By implementing effective hive management practices and staying informed about industry trends, beekeepers can enhance their chances of financial success in this rewarding profession.
Beekeeping can be a financially rewarding pursuit, offering not only honey production but also various avenues for generating income. Factors such as location, market conditions, experience, and the number of beehives play a significant role in determining beekeepers' earnings.
While start-up costs and ongoing expenses should be considered, beekeeping offers an opportunity for sustainable profits and self-sufficiency. With proper management, a passion for bees, and a commitment to quality, beekeeping can be a lucrative and fulfilling business venture.
Frequently Asked Questions

My garden is my sanctuary so forgive me if my gardening blog spills over into my San Diego blog but I'm so excited - it's planting time!!
My dear sweet patient husband and I built this double raised bed this weekend. We have a large back yard and It killed me to keep the grass green while San Diego is experiencing drought conditions. I'd rather water something we can eat so we dug up a portion of the grass for this 2nd raised bed. I can't wait to fill it with veggies. We have another raised bed where we have onions, spinach, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant growing. It provided all of our salad greens through out the winter.
Try a garden of your own - it's so rewarding!
For San Diego Gardeners:
Per Sunset Magazine, Coastal gardeners (in Sunset climate zones 21-24) can continue to plant quick-maturing, cool-season crops, including chard, leaf lettuces, radishes, and spinach. Inland (zones 18-21), switch to warm-season crops such as beans, corn, cucumber, eggplant, melons, peppers, summer and winter squash, and tomatoes. In the high desert (zone 11), wait a few more weeks; frost is still a possibility.
Plant beans, corn, cucumbers, eggplant, lima beans, melons, peppers, squash, tomatoes, and other warm-season crops. Delay planting two to four weeks in the high desert (Sunset climate zone 11) where frost is still a possibility. Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company is a great seed source for less common varieties.

For that reason, the more we can understand and minimize the variables, the better we will get at growing consistently high quality cannabis.
The first major decision you will face is whether or not to use soil or some kind of circulating water system. Traditionally, this has been referred to as the choice between soil and hydroponics, but the distinction between the two is not as black and white as it might seem. Technically speaking, any grow medium that lacks decomposed plant or animal material (humus) is hydroponic, even if it appears like soil. On the flip side, compost tea can be added to inert media such as coconut fiber (aka “coir”) to create a planting mix that behaves like soil, with a thriving population of beneficial microorganisms.
Soil mixes of various kinds continue to gain popularity over the supposedly high-performance water culture systems, even as the commercial marijuana cultivation industry explodes. This is because soil is more forgiving and thus has a higher probability of achieving consistent professional results, where water culture systems can kill your plants overnight if a timer, pump, dripper or dosing system breaks down. In an era of million-dollar investors counting on growers to deliver, the risk of an equipment malfunction isn’t usually worth taking.
Even if you are just a home grower, managing a circulating water system adds layers of complexity that might not be worth the investment. You will have to maintain a nutrient reservoir within a narrow temperature range in order to keep your pH and oxygen levels stable and, under normal circumstances, the reservoir will have to be cleaned and refilled every 10 days. It’s not impossible, and it might in fact be the wave of the future, but it certainly takes more skill and practice than just watering your potted plants every few days.
As for fertilizers, we all want to be as organic as possible these days. We have seen enough evidence at this point that it’s good for humans and good for the earth. Plus, the organic label carries a premium in a competitive marketplace.
The main scientific distinction between organic and synthetic fertilizers is their solubility. Organic fertilizers rely on microbial activity in the soil to become available to the plant, where synthetic fertilizers are immediately available as mineral salts making direct contact with the roots. Think of it as being analogous to the difference between a human body absorbing food through normal digestion vs. through an IV directly into the bloodstream. Both methods have their advantages. Microbes in soil produce all kinds of helpful bio-stimulants for plants, and they have a certain kind of “intelligence” that keeps nutrient availability within reasonable parameters, just as your intestinal flora mediate the nutrients that enter your bloodstream.
With synthetic fertilizers, the plants react more immediately to being fed. There is no delay posed by the need for microbial action, and there is no concern that certain nutrients will remain unavailable due to incomplete biological activity. There is, however, a greater risk that the plants will get overdosed and suffer crippling damage, just as a human body would if high amounts of potassium or some other nutrient were pumped directly into the bloodstream. In addition, synthetic fertilizers are far more likely to leach out of the plants and pollute the environment.
Is it possible to reap the benefits from both forms of fertilizer? Yes, and you probably already do. If, for example, you buy a soil mix containing worm castings and bat guano, and then you add some kind of bottled liquid fertilizer, you are most likely working with both organic and synthetic fertilizers at the same time. It’s worth calling the fertilizer company to ask them about possible nutrient lockouts that can occur when you start combining formulas, but the most important thing to know is that too much mineral salt content is a risk to the health of your soil microbes. Keep the synthetic fertilizer quantity low in relation to the organic content. You can add certain bio-stimulants like kelp, humic acid, and amino acids to make a smaller amount of synthetic fertilizer go a long way.
Always test the pH and ppm (parts per million) of your water runoff to make sure the salts aren’t getting above 1500ppm and that the pH is staying between 5.7-6.3. This ensures happy microbes and effective nutrient availability. If your runoff is out of range, don’t waste a day fixing it. Soil is a very dynamic environment, and cannabis is a very dynamic plant. Even a few hours of extreme pH or nutrient excess can have a permanent effect on your crop, especially once you are in the flowering cycle.

1 Dept. Soil Sci. C-v-O. University of Oldenburg, Oldenburg, Germany
2 Institute of Geography, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia
Carbon Balance and Management 2010, 5:1 doi:10.1186/1750-0680-5-1Published: 26 April 2010
Until recently, a lot of arable lands were abandoned in many countries of the world and, especially, in Russia, where about half a million square kilometers of arable lands were abandoned in 1961-2007. The soils at these fallows undergo a process of natural restoration (or self-restoration) that changes the balance of soil organic matter (SOM) supply and mineralization.
A soil chronosequence study, covering the ecosystems of 3, 20, 55, 100, and 170 years of self-restoration in southern taiga zone, shows that soil organic content of mineral horizons remains relatively stable during the self-restoration. This does not imply, however, that SOM pools remain steady. The C/N ratio of active SOM reached steady state after 55 years, and increased doubly (from 12.5 - 15.6 to 32.2-33.8). As to the C/N ratio of passive SOM, it has been continuously increasing (from 11.8-12.7 to 19.0-22.8) over the 170 years, and did not reach a steady condition.
The results of the study imply that soil recovery at the abandoned arable sandy lands of taiga is incredibly slow process. Not only soil morphological features of a former ploughing remained detectable but also the balance of soil organic matter input and mineralization remained unsteady after 170 years of self-restoration. | agronomy |

Why buy at the farmers market?
It's the weekend again, and here in my town it's time to head off to the market on Saturday morning. But why? Well there are plenty of good reasons.
Of course locally sourced and seasonally raised foods taste better. They spend more time in the fields ripening - developing sweetness and flavor - because they don't need to be picked under-ripe for shipping thousands of miles away. Picking under-ripe vegetables also reduces the nutritional value. Farmers can grow more diverse varieties, bred for quality and flavor rather than long shelf life. And though a region may experience a drought or unusually cold weather for a season, the fruits and vegetables still grow at their optimal time, ensuring the best possible taste.
Buying local also benefits the environment and economy. When we reduce our "food miles", the distance our food travels from farm to table, we reduce our carbon footprint, the impact of transportation, refrigeration and packaging needed to carry produce around the country, With local food purchase, you ensure that more of your food dollars go to the farmer and local economy in the form of revenue and taxes. Buying local keeps your dollars in your own community. In Wisconsin, if every household purchased just $12 a week for 8 weeks (summer) at a local market, around $200 million would be reinvested in our local farms. A million here, a million there and pretty soon we're talking real money!
So, buy local and buy often!

A career in agriculture can be a good choice as it is one of the sectors that often flies under most people’s radar. While more than 30% of the population of our country still subsists on growing food from the land, agriculture as a field of study is less popular because people still associate farming with rural life and poverty.
This makes agriculture a great subject to study as there is less competition in this field compared to others. Students in the field of agriculture can build successful careers working in various job roles because growing food is something that will be always needed. The demand for skilled professionals in the field of agriculture is especially high in our country which is why students of agriculture will have good jobs. If you are interested in starting your career in the agricultural sector early on, this blog is meant for you.
Diploma in Agriculture
The course of choice to get started early on in the field of agriculture is the diploma course in agriculture. This is usually a 2-year course that gets students acquainted with the basics of various fields in agriculture, along with giving them knowledge about new and emerging technologies to aid in these various fields.
The eligibility criteria for admission to any diploma in agriculture college is either merit-based on 10th standard results or based on the scores obtained in one of the various entrance examinations that are conducted for entry to some of these agricultural courses. For those colleges that do not require interested candidates to sit for an entrance examination, like MGU, the best university in Bhopal for agriculture studies, students must have passed their 10th boards with an aggregate of 50%. There is of course a 5% relaxation for students belonging to the reserved categories and other special cases as per the state government norms of Madhya Pradesh.

RI’s First Farm-Based Gleaning Program is Seeking Partnerships with Farms for 2019! Stipends and Contracts Available!
Hope’s Harvest RI mobilizes volunteers to rescue surplus fruits and vegetables from local farms for distribution to food pantries across the state. In RI, over 57,000 children, working families, and seniors per month are relying on the emergency food system (food pantries, meal sites, etc.) and many do not have access to nutritious fruits and vegetables, or are getting low-quality crops shipped in from out of state. Meanwhile, many farms see a shocking amount of edible food going in the compost because of leftovers after harvest, no market for a bumper crop, no time for maintenance picking, or seconds left after sorting. Lack of time and labor to get those crops out of the field or pack house and donated to people in need results in your time and energy going to waste. Hope’s Harvest RI is partnering with Farm Fresh RI and aims to recover at least 70,000 lbs. of produce in 2019 - and we need your partnership to make this work!
Hope’s Harvest can help! We will: Recruit and train volunteers to harvest safely, making sure they show up ready to work; be available for contact with you by phone, email, or text, to schedule a convenient time to get product out the field or pack house; come prepared with our own refrigerated truck, sterilized tools & gloves, harvest bins, and hand wash station; manage and supervise volunteers at all times; fully insure all on-farm volunteer activities with multiple levels of coverage; make sure product gets distributed quickly and safely, with full traceability, to charitable organizations; provide detailed harvest receipts for your records and tax purposes; offer stipends for participation (up to $900/farm/season) and contracts to grow low-maintenance crops for gleaners to harvest.

NOFA Cost of Production Project Results
Three NOFA chapters- VT, NH, and MA- worked with 30 organic vegetable farmers to determine the cost of production of vegetable crops commonly grown in the Northeast. The project developed tools, provided technical assistance, and aggregated data into factsheets to support farmers’ production planning and assist them in increasing the profitability of their farm businesses. The results from participating farms were then aggregated into five crop-specific fact sheets that present key metrics such as net income, average price/case, cultivation hours/acre, wash and pack hours/acre, and many other data points related to the production of winter squash, potatoes, onions, head lettuce, and carrots. Supplemental factsheets present crop profitability comparisons, whole farm financial ratios, and tips for success when undertaking cost of production analysis. You can access these resources by visiting NOFA’s site.

Produce Safety On-Farm Readiness Reviews to assist growers:
The RI Division of Agriculture joins 46 other states in beginning their On-Farm Readiness Reviews (OFRR) to help producers prepare for the Produce Safety Rule (PSR) portion of the Federal Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). FSMA was signed into law in 2011, and went into effect January 26, 2018. A one-year grace period was granted by FDA for compliance inspections; with inspections on large farms starting Spring 2019 and smaller farms in subsequent years.
Before RI begins their compliance inspections, we are offering producers several opportunities to ensure they are prepared. The OFRRs are a component of a concerted educational and awareness effort by the Division of Agriculture that builds upon the principles of the long standing Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Program in RI.
Is your farm exempt? This is a no-cost opportunity to determine if your farm qualifies for an exemption. The Division of Agriculture’s Produce Safety Team will arrange a visit to your farm where they can review the FSMA regulations and make suggestions for your specific operation. OFRR visits must be made during the growing season. Upon request, the Produce Safety Team will schedule a face-to-face meeting to go over PSR requirements prior to a walk-around. These can be scheduled year-round. No records will be kept of these non-regulatory, voluntary visits. Any recommendations and/or notes taken will be left on-site to offer guidance in potential PSR improvements to the operation. | agronomy |

They dropped in on a southerly breeze, their parachute canopies glinting in the sun. They forced the earthly dandelions into the meditation area and then one stern alien stepped forward with a menacing look and demanded, ‘Take me to your weeder’.
It’s true that we see the dandelion as an invader, the gardener’s bane, a noxious weed. As a child, I remember picking a bright bouquet of dandelion flowers for me mam, I don’t think she was best pleased but she hid it well.
Of course we also blew off the seeds, made wishes and tried to tell the time by the dandelion clock. We fed the rabbit and hens with the leaves making sure they hadn’t been sprayed with weed killer. Later experimenting, I spayed the seed heads with mam’s hairspray, they were magically captured for a while, just like her curls, stiff, fragile and beautiful. Now is the time of year that the dandelion is prolific in the garden and I find out it has so much more to offer!
It is hard to believe but at one time there were no dandelions in the UK. Native to Eurasia, this humble member of the aster family has traveled far and wide. People around the world have used every part of the dandelion to good effect. Clearly this plant was not always thought of as a weed; it used to be known as a “common herb” and was certainly grown by the Victorians for medicinal and culinary purposes. They liked them in their sarnies!
It was the Normans who called this plant “dent de lion, tooth of the lion, named for their sharp, serrated leaves that resemble lion’s teeth. Anglo-Saxons corrupted this name into dandelion. The dandelion is also known in Italian as dente di leone.
The Chinese call it “nail in the earth” for its long taproot which draws nutrients and moisture from deep in the ground. And one of the plant’s common nicknames in French, pissenlit (pee-the-bed) attests to the dandelion’s use in traditional healing cultures as a valuable diuretic agent, rich in potassium). We used to call out ‘wetty bed’ when we picked dandelions. The belief that picking dandelions will cause the picker to wet their bed is widespread in the UK, leading to such names as mess-a-bed, pee-a-bed and pish-th’-bed.
In medieval times, dandelions gathered on St. John’s Eve, June 24th, were believed to repel witches. The milky sap, given the name “devil’s milk pail”, was used to cure warts and pimples.
Dandelions are more nutritious than spinach, have 25 times the vitamin A of tomato juice, and are a good source of calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron, lecithin, and vitamins C, B, and E. For many early gardeners dandelions made a life-saving spring tonic.
The dandelion was a standard medicinal plant used by herbalists for generations. Its Latin name, Taraxacum officinale, means a remedy for disorders. The leaves are a powerful diuretic and as they do not flush potassium from the body they are actually safer than pharmaceutical diuretics. The roots are slightly laxative and a tea made from ground fresh or dried roots is reported to improve digestion and may ease rheumatism or liver problems.
When mother earth gives us plentiful lemons we make lemonade but what should we do with so many dandelions? Since dandelions are closely related to epicurean greens: – endive, chicory, escarole, and radicchio, you could harvest the free, rampant growing dandelion greens and put them to good use.
• The young leaves are tasty in salad if you pick them before the flowers appear to avoid too much bitterness.
• The plants can be blanched like endive by covering them with a large flower pot to exclude sunlight.
• Older leaves can be boiled, with a bit of bacon, stir-fried with garlic and onions, or cut up and added to risotto or pasta.
• Try dipping the flower heads in a light batter then deep fry.
• Like chicory, dandelion roots can be roasted until they are dark brown inside and out, ground into a powder and used as a coffee substitute
The dandelion has been cast as public enemy No. 1. An estimated 80 million pounds of pesticides are used each year on home lawns to eradicate them. For me, letting my dandelions grow is not just about frugality (they’re free) and gastronomy but also ecology. The bright yellow dandelion flowers attract pollinators to the spring garden and provide an important early nectar source for many butterflies and bees.
The First Dandelion
Simple and fresh and fair from winter’s close emerging,
As if no artifice of fashion, business, politics, had ever been,
Forth from its sunny nook of shelter’d grass–innocent, golden, calm as the dawn,
The spring’s first dandelion shows its trustful face.

You can curse dandelions all you want but, what is now considered a noxious weed has fed and healed us for thousands of years. So why not try your hand at making some dandelion wine and raise your glass to salute the spring. | agronomy |

For instance, balancing the PH level of the soil, attracting beneficial insects that boosts the growth of the plants, preventing soil erosion, enhancing water retention, and reducing plant diseases from the soil. After you add waste composite on your lawn ensure that you get to add water to the soil.
To acquire the outstanding results in your lawn there is a demand of treating the soil for it is crucial. For example you can choose to add natural herbicides like cornmeal and many more.

Containing 100% certified organic ganoderma spores, the King of Coffee has no rival on the market. Along with the certified ganoderma spores, the coffee itself is organic.
What is "organic" coffee you might ask? (And what have I BEEN drinking????)
Organic coffee simply means there were no pesticides used while growing the coffee. Today, most foods we eat have pesticides used on them to avoid damaged crops and to try and preserve high quality in the produce. When something is grown to be organic, they are grown in an environment where the insects are controlled, thus not being able to produce the product in such high volumes. Additionally, shipping and handling of the product is a little bit more intensive. The result? A higher quality all natural product that generally costs more than a "regular" version.
Why the "King" in this King of Coffee from Organo Gold?
Simple! What happens when you combine 100% organic coffee, resulting in the highest quality of that coffee bean, and combine it with the highest quality certified organic ganoderma spores? You are taking 2 of the highest quality ingredients available and producing a healthy coffee that can't be beat. Some might call that a king!

Forty percent of their crops are considered waste or ‘ugly produce’, misshapen or odd-sized crops that are still perfectly healthy and edible.

Domaine Peyre Rose debuted its first vintage in 1991 with Clos des Cistes and Syrah Léone.
She is self-taught and she has a very clear idea of the style of wine she wants to make. Her wines enjoy a long fermentation and very long elevage in barrel and bottle.

CSA is Community Supported Agriculture, basically where you pay the farmer at the start of the season and enjoy the fruits of his/her gardens for several weeks or months following. The idea is that the people who eat the food share in the financial risk-taking with the farmer, and provide the capital necessary to purchase supplies and to sustain the farming family while they grow food for us to eat. And if the peppers do badly, we have few peppers, while perhaps the zucchini grew wonderfully this year so we share in an abundance of zucchini. That is my very amateur explanation anyways. It also encourages local eating, so avoiding having your food shipped thousands of miles to your plate, and if the CSA is organic (which mine is and I think most are), it supports organic agriculture.
I have thought about doing it before but never followed through. This year I think the impetus is partially that I feel buoyed by my carfree project, that I can untangle myself somewhat from 'the status quo' and that I have the capacity to follow through. Also I have a professor this term who is into eating only local foods; she is brilliant/totally weird in a fascinating way, and I have learned a lot from her this semester about the food industry. In addition to what I already knew from reading Michael Pollan and Raj Patel on the subject.
Luckily with this CSA, the farmer grows the food and drives it into town, where it is picked up from a house fairly nearby me. Oftentimes you drive out to the farm to pick up the food, which wouldn't work for me for obvious reasons.
So yesterday afternoon Z and I trucked out on an unfamiliar bus route to pick up our share. It comes in a large box, but I left the box there and just filled the basket of the stroller, along with a canvas bag I brought and hung from the stroller's handles, with the food. When I bring the bike I will empty the box into the panniers. The veggies are glorious! Tiny sweet red and yellow peppers, radishes that taste nicely mild, nap choy (I think), daikon (had to ask what this was), butter lettuce, red leaf lettuce, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, acorn squash, and a pie pumpkin which is now roasting in my oven before becoming pumpkin soup. We also got real free range eggs, no more $6 grocery store eggs thank goodness!
So of course I am afraid that I am going to be a CSA loser, leaving things to rot in the fridge instead of cooking them. I already half froze the red leaf lettuce - apparently my fridge is too cold, so I've turned it down. I've already eaten the butter lettuce tho, and I'm feeling quite proud that I have the pumpkin in the works to be turned into something edible. Thankfully the vegetables look familiar and inspiring. Friends gave me their CSA share last week (different CSA), and I couldn't even identify some of the veggies - green tomato-like things with their own paper-like wrappers, and a knobbly small root vegetable were beyond me. With my own, the only real question mark was the daikon. Everything else I basically know what it is, and I am eager to try it all out, even the daikon.
Perhaps this whole CSA endeavour will even inspire my children to eat more veggies. Ahhh or maybe not. But I'm pretty excited about it. | agronomy |

We often read and hear about Organic, Shade Grown and Fair Trade Coffees. These terms are often used cohesively as a singular term when in fact they are separate and distinct. To better understand these differences we should visit each individually. First one should understand Fair Trade. While understanding Fair Trade is somewhat difficult. Although the thought of Fair Trade is not new, it has become more prominent within the past decade Established guidelines for these practices exist and several organizations worldwide certify both companies and products. The focus is to promote better economic standards and working conditions in developing countries. Advocates of Fair Trade promote a market based approach. This approach helps producers who are normally small farmers or co-ops to receive higher pricing on their exports that cover costs of sustainable production. These practices allow for the Fair Trade Premium to be invested in social, economic and environmental development. This in turn enhances the lives of the workers and their families. Also included in the practice of Fair Trade pricing is the development of long-term trading partnerships which gives the small farmers greater control over their trading process. There is an abundance of information available on this subject and the organizations involved and you are encouraged to investigate their contributions.
Organic coffees are grown and produced without the application of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Certified Organic can extend to include practices of composting recycling and protection of the environment. The use of organic practices may reduce the yield of the crop, but adds to the sustainability of future crops. Organic coffees are generally shade grown, helping to protect forest lands which in turn help nurture the soils with falling leaves and increased bird populations.
There are three main requirements to be certified organic by US standards. These include crops grown on land free of pesticides and other banned substances for a period of three years. A significant space between the organic and traditional crops is required. Crop rotation is also required to prevent erosion, depletion of soil and control of pests.
Organic certifications may not be economically available to all small farmers and co-ops. While these certifications may be out of reach, the farmers may in fact be farming organically as they have traditionally done for generations.
Coffee plants were traditionally grown in shady conditions. When high production was required, new sun tolerant trees were developed. This resulted in cultivation practices that were not environmentally friendly. These same practices hold true for sun-grown coffee.
Now there is a move to growing coffee shrubs under a canopy of diverse tree and native plant species. This practice encourages many bird species to flourish and helps to sustain the soil nutrients as well as providing natural pest control. There are two main certifications offered for shade grown coffees. The first is the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center (SMBC) and the Rainforest Alliance. Both have developed sustainable product certifications. The main guidelines include less water pollution, less soil erosion, reduced threats to human health and wildlife habitat, as well as farm management and improved worker conditions and profitability for farmers.
What does all of this mean to consumers? In some countries the use of pesticides and herbicides are not regulated. With these certifications consumers have the control to buy safe, chemically free products that are helping the environment while still providing the small farmers who bring the products to table a sustainable and healthy life. All of this does not come easily or inexpensively. Consumers are happy to pay a bit more knowing it is helping the planet. | agronomy |

After 35 years of working with horticulture we now offer something very exciting: where you utilise recycled products such as newspaper and waste from your kitchen to name a few, and be rewarded with the most amazing compost and liquid fertiliser! This is the future for all gardens, using vermiculture with Red Wriggler worms, i.e. Vermicompost (worm compost) and Vermitea (liquid fertiliser).
Vermicompost is a “slow- release” fertiliser which will not burn plants, and rewards you with great fruits, green vegetables and wonderful flowers. This saves you a great deal on commercial fertilisers! Worm compost (Vermicompost) has 5 times more nitrogen than most composts which is excellent for green foliage.
Baby wormlets eat right from birth and do not stop! If looked after well, compost worms live up to 5 years and have immense value in helping to produce vital humus for the soil. Humus allows for better water retention of up to 35%, as well as holding the nutrients for plants, much like an extended vitamin tablet. These fine-stranded worms (see the worm hatchlings above) They look like strawberry blonde hair, and grow in length before filling out in bulk. Close on maturation age (+- 3 months from birth) their clitellum or sex band swells up, turns a white colour and is indicative of sexual maturation. A truly fascinating experience to watch and observe!
Check out this Youtube Video of a LIVE worm birth!
Compost worms in a butternut heaven!
Foods such as butternut and pumpkin provide a high-energy food source for worms, and are excellent as a “going away” food, as you can simply place a large wedge in the worm farm, cover up and leave for up to 2 weeks.
“More powerful than elephants” Charles Darwin said of worms… Ok, now before you want to bury your Mother-in law in secret, no compost worm crimes go without leaving clues! Compost worms have been known to “eat” entire pairs of jeans, coffee cups, cardboard boxes, and a two thirds of all landfills!
There seems to be a great deal of mystery surrounding the birth of a cocoon – the following 3 photos should clarify
The worm giving birth to a cocoon from over its head.
Cocoon about 3 weeks later – note that it has become brown.
The same cocoon giving birth to about 4 worms – they look like pink threads.
Something to think about
A regular customer of mine over the years, came to my premises feeling very frustrated. She had a few cocoons in a container to show me saying these nasty intruders are killing her worms and spent the day extracting them and squashing in her fingers. I took one look and jokingly said “you are a murderer”. When I told her what she was doing – killing her next generation of worms, she felt very embarrassed and in future, will treasure these cocoons.
A lady phoned me one morning enquiring if I had worm “wee” for sale. I said NO but I do have worm tea (Vermitea – a by- product of worm castings as worms do not wee) – yes she said, I will collect 1 litre to detox herself and it does wonders – rather her than me!
Many of my large worm farms are situated at my daughter’s home as she has a larger property than I have. For years, her Great Dane and large Ridgeback have had bare patches near their tail areas. Despite numerous visits to the Vet, nothing helped. About 6 months ago, the dogs started drinking Vermitea while we were attending to the farms and now beg for the Vermitea every time I visit. Three months after the dogs had started to drink the Vermitea (which is organic), their coats improved and now have magnificent shiny coats. It does make one think what else can the Vermitea do – the sky seems the limit.
That was quite a lot of information to digest, so here are some important points to help you better understand this incredible realm.
Some Clarifications on Vermicompost Terms:
Vermi (worms in Latin) + compost (a mix of decaying organic matter which in turn provides nutrients to plants) = Nature’s Best Plant Food.
Vermicast is a fancy name for worm poops – highly compacted and bursting with humus, nitrogen, enzymes, microbes and bacteria, consider them minor power houses of natural, organic goodness. Vermicast is sieved from rougher Vermicompost, as a very easy-to-use granular soil amendment, and can be applied as follows:
Potting Medium – Mix 1:3 with potting soil/Vermicompost/river sand
Mix as with potting soil (1:3), or you can place cuttings in 1:1 mix of Vermiliquid/water or 1:1 mix of Vermicompost/water. General Soil Tonic – Add 1:5 in other composting/soil mediums.
How to make worm castings, Vermicomposting is very similar to composting, but Vermicomposting uses worms to help speed up the composting process, resulting in a final product of a soil amendment which is literally loaded with nutrients for plants.
Have a look at this ball of Vermicompost, note how “sticky and pliable” it is? Well, humus is essential in HOLDING WATER and for the slow release of vital minerals and nutrient plants need. Compost worms, as tillers of topsoil, actually build the most crucial food basket for mankind. Poor soils = poor health, plain and simple! One only needs a small amount of Vermicompost per plant, and if soils are particularly bad, easy to apply and make “plant and root” specific. Soil gets renewed by “re-processing” green organic waste back into food! While there are thousands of annelids (worms), there are only 5 or so true composting worms, i.e. they eat 95% or more decaying organic matter.
The most common of these is the Eisenia Fetida (also known as the Red Wriggler, Kariba, Branding or Tiger) worm. These little worms are truly the world’s best composters! The Vermicompost is immensely concentrated, and has an extremely high humus concentration. Humus acts like a “water nappy gel”, which absorbs water for long periods, and stays in soil for up to 20 years! The most important thing to remember when applying worm tea is this – apply as soon as possible (best within 48 hours) OR keep bottle open and in dark cupboard. You can also add a 1/2 teaspoon of honey or molasses as “food” for your bacteria and microorganism. The beneficial aerobic microorganisms require oxygen to survive.
Vermicompost – A Living Soil Amendment
Short educational video on vermicomposting from Cornell University.
Wonders of Vermicompost
Being a horticulturalist by profession, I delight in experimenting with the wonderful properties of Vermitea and Vermicompost, and noting the effects on seedlings and cuttings as we go, so enjoy!
OK, now onto something else.
This cutting of Rosemary demonstrates the immense force and potency contained in Vermitea/Vermicompost, as compost worms transform decaying ingested material, into a stable food source for plants. The plant absorbs as needed, and both Vermitea and Vermicompost is noted for its amazing success rates in germination and cuttings, often having success in Vermicompost! How strange to think that such small, humble composting worms can make such a difference to your garden, the health of plants, scenting flowers more potently, and ensuring bigger yielding in food crops. Small wonder that the world is turning to worms on a large scale as we realise that we each can give back to Mother Nature.
Why Vermicompost Just Makes Sense
- Recycles organic matter back into your garden, not the refuse dump!
- Keep it natural, organic, safe and eco-friendly; Mother Nature knows best.
- Save money by using an economical alternative for maximum yield.
- Inoculate soils with beneficial microbes. Never use “steamed” composts, as all the microbes and good bacteria has been killed off. Soil rich with micro-life is food rich with abundant, nutrients and good health for you!
- Improve plant taste and freshness! As Vermicompost is a pure plant food, better photosynthesis and aromatic qualities ensue.
- For every 10 dm3 you feed your worms, your return will be +- 2dm3 of pure “Black Gold” Vermicompost. This is highly concentrated goodness, and you only need small amounts to equal and surpass other composts.
NB! Can your compost do this? Once you use Vermicompost, you will never go back to buying inferior compost. Better still, make your own, or buy from Eco Worm Farms, as we make potent Vermicompost.
VERMITEA – R40 PER LITRE
‘WORM TEA IS USED THE WORLD OVER – WORM TEA ALSO ACTS AS AN ORGANIC MILD INSECTICIDE – NO APHIDS, WHITE FLY OR MINOR INSECTS WILL BE SEEN ON YOUR PLANTS – THE TEA ALSO ACTS AS SYSTEMIC i.e. TAKEN UP BY ROOTS AND THROUGH LEAVES – THE WONDER OF VERMITEA IS THAT VEGETABLES ETC. CAN BE HARVESTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLYING VERMITEA AND USED FOR CONSUMPTION’
Worm tea can be applied in two ways, directly into soil or as a foliar spray.
The Benefits of Worm Tea?
Simple, Affordable, Green and Great!
Pathogens cannot infect the plants because the potential infection sites are already dominated and occupied by beneficial microbes.
Plants are more active, taking up nutrients from the tea making it less susceptible to attack by pathogens, as bacteria/fungi or mild proliferate when a plant is out of balance.
Nutrients and food in the tea encourages good micro-organisms to grow, with the nutrients being retained better, allowing for nutrient absorption on an “as needed” basis by the plant.
Soil structure is improved, with more oxygen reaching into the roots and preventing toxin buildup in soil by anaerobes.
Vermitea or Vermiliquid is absorbed via the roots, and overall water retention is better, which is great in our water stressed country. The depth of root is increased encouraging stronger plant growth with robust leaves and yield.
By using an organic alternative, your plants are truly healthy, which means that you will be too! Consumers are demanding a shift away from the many dangerous and harmful chemicals that get used in commercial vegetable farming.
You will now have control over what you eat, and as so many diseases are dietary related, this is a no-brainer!
Organic matter will contribute to the growth of the tea microbes when applied to the soil. If there is not enough organic matter, adding some more will help prolong the benefits of the worm tea application. This if your soil is very poor, best to add Vermicompost as well, particularly on planting new stock. You will need +-1/2 cup per small bush, 1 cup per shrub, and 2-4 cups per tree (per season!).
How To Apply Our Wonderful Worm Tea
Worm tea is sold as a concentrate, and needs to be diluted 1:30 with either rain water, or tap water that has been left to stand for 24 hours. This is to ensure that the delicate micro-organisms do not get killed off! You can also add in garlic/marigold mixed with 1/4 dishwashing liquid as an organic and natural pesticide. Take 2 or 3 cloves of garlic and 3 marigold flower heads in warm water for one hour. Drain off the liquid and add to your worm tea. Another option is to add in comfrey with the worm tea, for ailing, old and diseased plants, as comfrey is considered nature’s plant healer. Steep as above, and feed the compost worms the comfrey leaves once you have steeped your leaves… worms LOVE comfrey! It is best to apply the Vermitea late afternoon, as plants aspirate and will absorb more. Ditto for worm tea as a leachate/vermiliquid for soil. You ideally want the liquid to drain down as far and well as possible.
TIP: When planting out, add one or two handful of shredded newspaper close to the roots, as a “slow release” sponge ball, especially for very sandy areas along our coast.
NB! Take photos before and after applying worm tea. We know you will be more than impressed, and your plants will love you for it! | agronomy |

Just a short post, but the tomatoes this year have been very interesting and very very nice.
At the Horizon Centre therapy garden we have got eight different tomatoes growing in the two glasshouses. All of them are different varieties. A couple we have grown before, ‘Sungold’ being one of them. If you have never grown ‘Sungold’ and you like sweet cherry tomatoes this is the one for you. It is the sweetest I have ever grown and tasted. I can’t remember coming across it at all until a few years ago but all the major seed suppliers now sell it. It should be noted that it is not a Heirloom variety (which I do appreciate does not fit in with the post title, but while I was here I thought I should mention it).
Tomato ‘Rainbow’s End’
The main purpose of this post was to inform you all of my new favourite tomato. I am not a fan of the ubiquitous cherry red in boxed salads, in fact, I can’t say that I like them at all raw. Last year, in my home garden I grew a few of the beefsteak varieties. This was mainly because I brought a few seeds back with me from America and Canada and a lot of the ones I saw that I had not seen before were of the beefsteak variety, such as ‘Great White’, ‘Rainbow’s End’ and ‘Mortgage Lifter’. I was very pleasantly surprised by ‘Great White’, they looked spectacular, their flowers were really pretty ‘double’ looking and most importantly the flavour was great, with a really thick and juicy flesh. Not sour at all.
Tomato ‘Great White’
Therefore, this year we added ‘Rainbow’s End’, ‘Great White’, ‘Ox Heart’ and ‘Brandywine’. All of these are Heirloom varieties, so we can keep the seed and grow them again, which, at the moment, I would like to do.
‘Brandywine’ has been my favourite so far. A lovely tomato. The best I have ever tasted. Perfect flesh for slicing, huge fruits, juicy with plenty of flavour and excellent on a bit of bread with just salt and pepper (fresh basil doesn’t do it any harm either). You can see from the photo below why supermarkets don’t go for them as they don’t have the traditional “shelf appeal”, though that is quite sad.
I can definitely recommend ‘Beefsteak’ and ‘Great White’ and ill update you with information about ‘Mallorquin’, ‘Mortgage Lifter’ and a couple others as we get to them. We are very much enjoying them at the moment. Just looking at them is worthwhile and peoples’ reaction to the size and look is great. They often do not realise that tomatoes have a variety of shape, sizes and colour. Tasting them is the best bit though. | agronomy |

They’re known as the worst food on earth to many kids, when truly, they aren’t that harmful. How dangerous is a small cabbage-looking vegetable?
I perpetually spell Brussels sprouts wrong. Maybe I say it wrong, but I always refer to them as “brussel sprouts”. But, it’s spelled like the city in Europe…so I’m not sure if that means it’s pronounced like the city or not. Either way, I still call them brussel sprouts. Sorry, Belgium. You guys get waffles too, so don’t sweat it.
The reason they are called “Brussels sprouts” is because they originated in Belgium, almost 800 years ago possibly. They were cultivated in Ancient Rome, in the area that would now be Brussels, or Belgium.
Bet you didn’t see this one coming. Brussels sprouts are related to broccoli, kale, cauliflower, etc. It’s just the cruciferous vegetable month. Brussels sprouts contain vitamin A and C, folic acid and dietary fiber. They also have sinigrin, a glucosinolate (whoa biology) that is believed to protect against colon cancer.
Brussels sprouts were first grown in Louisiana in the beginning of the 19th century after French settlers brought them to the United States. Now, Brussels sprouts are grown all over California – in San Mateo, Santa Cruz and Monterey – because of the ideal cool climate. They are harvested from about June through January, giving people lots of opportunities to eat them! So don’t miss out!
Fun fact: The United States produces 27,000 tons annually (of Brussels sprouts of course), valuing at $27 million! And you thought vegetables weren’t that important.
I grew up eating vegetables, thanks to my mom, so I’ve eaten them in a variety of ways, but my favorite is roasted with some butter and pancetta (a salt cured pork belly – bacon works just fine!).
Roasted Brussels sprouts with Pancetta (mine don’t have any, I ran out!)
- Brussels sprouts
- Olive oil
- Pancetta (or bacon)
- Salt (optional)
Preheat the oven to 400°. While the oven is preheating, set a pot of water on the stove to boil. Wash and clean the Brussels sprouts (see note after) and cut them in half. Once the water is boiling, put the Brussels sprouts in for five minutes to soften. After five minutes, drain the Brussels sprouts and place them on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Toss with olive oil.
Once the oven has preheated, put the Brussels sprouts into the oven to roast. I don’t really keep time, I just open the oven every once in a while – maybe 15 – 25 minutes. Make sure to check them though.
While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, take out some bacon or pancetta, cut into ½ inch strips, and fry until crispy in a pan. After the Brussels sprouts have finished roasting, take them out of the oven and throw some butter onto the cookie sheet to melt (this depends on how many Brussels sprouts there are. I like to put enough for an even coating). After the butter has melted slightly, mix until completely incorporated. Then mix in the pancetta or bacon. Serve.
Note: Cleaning Brussels sprouts
Brussels sprouts can be difficult to work with if you don’t know how to clean them. They are really easy once you get the hang of it. I like to rinse all my Brussels sprouts under water first. Then I take them individually and cut off the stem on the bottom, it’s usually pretty small, unless you’re buying Brussels sprouts on the stalk. Then, I just peel the outer layers of leaf off, to get any dark spots or dirt off. Now they’re ready to go!
Next week is garlic! I hope no vampires are reading this… just kidding. | agronomy |

• Size our garden/mini-orchard to our rainwater holding tanks.
• Build small check dams in the creek (like a beaver).
• Store rain in the ground, especially high on the land, by having as much native tree cover as the land naturally supports.
• Shape bare or disturbed land to minimize or eliminate rainwater run-off without harming native trees. Then mulch as soon as possible.
• Minimize areas of bare ground.
While the water in the creek and in our well were once rainwater, extracting water from those two sources can have a detrimental effect on life and on the hydrologic cycle in the watershed.
We never pump from the creek because pumping at times other than above normal flow has an immediate negative effect on water level, and doing this regularly means the creek dries up earlier–fish, frogs, damsel flies, water bugs and many others all die. Deer, bats, turtles, birds, raccoon, skunks and others have to travel farther to find water. The ground along the creek dries out and the depth to groundwater increases.
Since our well is near the creek, every time we use it, we are causing a draw-down of both the creek and groundwater available to creekside species like valley oak, black walnut, willow, alder, elderberry and many more. Groundwater is also mineral rich, often high in salts, and therefore a poor choice for growing plants, while rainwater is what plants evolved with. These reasons made it clear to us that we needed to switch to rainwater.
While capturing rainwater for domestic use can require the purchase of some industrial products, a setup can be installed that will last a lifetime and makes maximum use of salvaged and low cost materials. This is in contrast with well systems that overall require far more damaging materials and technologies to install, are expensive to drill, require ongoing energy inputs to run and do not guarantee a water source into the future, especially given the history of wells in this area.
We have a salvaged 3000-gallon tank that captures rain off of our roof that we use for drinking, cooking and watering our climatically appropriate food plants in our small garden. This system requires no pumps and minimal maintenance. We also have two salvaged 5400-gallon tanks for livestock and additional future garden and drinking water use. The next step in our transition towards modeling a sustainable water system here at the Center will be to experiment with earthen water tanks.
We also use rainwater harvesting earthworks in our garden, which maximize the moisture that falls on site. Additionally, building small check dams in all drainages helps to slow, spread and sink the falling water on the land, which enhances the growth and health of all plants, which boosts soil biodiversity and extends the water cycle. As noted in the list above, native trees are our best bet for keeping water in the soil, where it serves more species and extends the moist season by several weeks or even months.
Below are the calculations we used to determine numbers of plants, animals and square feet of garden beds.
A Guide for Getting Started
Rainwater Harvesting Basics
Brad Lancaster, author of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, explains a few rainwater basics in the above videos and provides the following:
The Eight Principles of Successful Water Harvesting
1. Begin with long and thoughtful observation. Use all your senses to see where the water flows and how. What is working, what is not? Build on what works.
2. Start at the top (highpoint) of your watershed and work your way down. Water travels downhill, so collect water at your high points for more immediate infiltration and easy gravity-fed distribution. Start at the top where there is less volume and velocity of water.
3. Start small and simple. Work at the human scale so you can build and repair everything. Many small strategies are far more effective than one big one when you are trying to infiltrate water into the soil.
4. Slow, spread, and infiltrate the flow of water. Rather than having water run erosively off the land’s surface, encourage it to stick around, “walk” around, and infiltrate into the soil. Slow it, spread it, sink it.
5. Always plan an overflow route, and manage that overflow as a resource. Always have an overflow route for the water in times of extra heavy rains, and where possible, use the overflow as a resource.
6. Maximize living and organic groundcover. Create a living sponge so the harvested water is used to create more resources, while the soil’s ability to infiltrate and hold water steadily improves.
7. Maximize beneficial relationships and efficiency by “stacking functions.” Get your water harvesting strategies to do more than hold water. Berms can double as high-and-dry raised paths. Plantings can be placed to cool buildings in summer. Vegetation can be selected to provide food.
8. Continually reassess your system: the “feedback loop.” Observe how your work affects the site, beginning again with the first principle. Make any needed changes, using the principles to guide you. | agronomy |

Establishes the invasive species council fund. Requires the council to establish a cooperative weed management program to protect the diversity of natural areas in Indiana to: (1) promote the creation of cooperative weed management areas; and (2) create partnerships that create opportunities for contiguous landowners to work together in the management of invasive plants that threaten natural lands and native biological diversity. Establishes a project workgroup to recommend cooperative weed management plans to the council. Establishes the cooperative weed management fund. Staggers the initial terms of the appointed council members.
OPPOSE: What? We need legislation to create a partnership that creates opportunities for neighbors to work together in managing their weeds? What? However silly that may sound, the real reason for opposition to this legislation is in the fiscal impact statement. The bill does not specify sources of revenue for the fund. The bill contains no appropriation for the fund. So why create something that can't survive....kind of an invasive species itself, yes?

We're excited to be involved in projects highlighted below to provide access to healthy food for various community demographics, as well as collaborate with educators to provide farm-based learning opportunities!
Collaboration with the Shack Neighborhood House "Farm to Families" Project
We are excited to expand collaboration with the Shack Neighborhood House "Farm-to-Families" Project to be able to offer vegetable CSA shares to interested food pantry recipients.
In 2014, the project was piloted by providing 5 families with a CSA vegetable share from our farm and was funded through a Community Food Security Enhancement Grant through the Appalachian Foodshed Project (AFP).
The Shack staff delivered the produce to the families at the Arnettesville Food pantry and taught people how to prepare and cook the vegetables.
This year, the families that participated last year will be paying a portion of the CSA share cost, and the farm is reserving more production for the project at lower rates.
We are working with the Shack to drum up funding and support for this project to facilitate participation of more families who might not otherwise have access to fresh organic produce.
If you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation click below to go the Shack website.
Hosting WVU Farm Educational Field Trips
We have enjoyed the opportunity to participate in Owl Creek Farm's long tradition of farm-based sharing and education.
In 2014 & 2015, we collaborated with HR Scott of the WVU Extension Service and Owl Creek Farm owners to host several class field trips from a variety of departments at WVU that were interested in incorporating farm-based education into their courses.
Dr. Davis's Occupational Therapy class enthusiastically grabbed one of Chico's hand-made hoes and put their backs and sweat into helping us to make a garden bed and carry heavy crates around the farm. The class was learning about potential for injury in different occupations.
We also hosted a horticulture class that came to see the plantings and pest pressure, provided plant specimens for a soil science project, hosted photojournalism students developing photo and video projects, and hosted an environmental law class focused on land use.
Contact us if you are an educator that would like to explore a collaborative learning opportunity for your course... or a student that would like to come volunteer at the farm! | agronomy |

With only a laptop and a brain, he was determined to make it in the agribusiness venture whatever the odds. After approaching several supermarkets and hotels to sell the meat, it took only a short while before his clients started calling for a specific breed of rabbits for its patrons and soon the cheese moved. Today, George has trained personnel for the business. Lucy Mwangi has taken up the passion and is in charge of all operations of Alcare Group in Kenya. CANADA DORWAN GIANT RABBIT WAS BORN!
Alcare Kenya Limited is undisputedly the largest, leading and the most trusted contract rabbit farming company in East and West Africa. Registered eight years ago, it provides a platform for rabbit farmers in East and West Africa to produce rabbits for breeding, meat and other products. ALCARE Kenya farming methods and models’ purpose is to create and maintain a vehicle for farmers who join our farming programs and become suppliers through our market guaranteed programs since we started the business in 2009. Today, AKL farmers earn between Kshs 150000 and Kshs. 500000 a month breeding rabbits.
Birds are a very beautiful creation of nature. And ducks are also a very beautiful bird. There are many domestic duck breeds available around the world. Among those duck breeds, some are popular for meat production, some are famous for eggs production, some are good for exhibition purposes, some are raised as ornamental birds and some ducks are raised as pets. Ducks are classified into four groups; Bantam, Light, Medium and Heavy Weight. Domestic ducks are kept for specific purposes. Some ducks are good for meat, some are good for eggs.
With many years of working with rabbit farmers, we have collected many challenges farmers are going through. With the advent of many breeds of indigenous chicken into the country many chicken dealers, some unscrupulous, have approached farmers with the breeds almost confusing chicken farmers. We have gone out of our way to solicit for a quality indigenous chicken from Australia called AUSTRALOP chicken breed. This is a multipurpose chicken laying eggs and also ideal for meat as it grows to good weight at only 4 months.
Today, AKL farmers earn between Kshs 150000 and Kshs. 500000 a month breeding rabbits. Join us and let us help you through the path to Rabbit, Duck, and Poultry Farming.

The raised beds built three years ago are bursting with flowers, herbs and veggies. Every summer, I stand in the garden and reflect upon my plant choices and wonder “am I not growing enough of … or too much of… ” (fill in the blank). It is always clear to me I wish I had more flowers. Next summer, I will make sure there are plenty of flowers in the garden.
What is also clear to me is how I always plant my tomatoes too close together. They seem fine, but, I want to make sure they have enough space between them to receive the air circulation they need. To make sure my tomatoes don’t get blossom end rot, I only water them in the morning and only water the roots and not the aerial parts of the plants.
The squash and zucchini plants always grow way bigger than you remember the year before. I think I may try to grow them on a trellis next summer to save space and make harvesting easier. We have all been there when you see a ripe squash or zucchini and think, I will pick that one tomorrow because it will be the perfect size only to forget and a week later it weighs 25 pounds.
This year, I experimented with planting borage and calendula as cover crops in the empty spaces along my perennial shrub and berry border. These two herbs need little water or attention, they deter weeds, attract pollinators, fill in a space quickly without being invasive, are beautiful, bloom all summer and into early fall, and are edible.
My purple, pink and white cosmo flowers pictured below in the right hand corner of the photo are not only beautiful, but attract tons of pollinators, including moths, our lesser know nighttime pollinators. Moths are attracted to white or other light-colored flowers and only come out during the wee hours of the night. Next summer, I am going to plant more moth attracting plants such as flowering tobacco, gardenia, and moon flowers. | agronomy |

The terrarium system that I designed and demonstrate here is what I consider to be the best combination of easy construction, excellent function, and low maintenance. To watch a video of the terrarium under construction, see part 3 of the BRF/PF tek video. It's been dubbed the shotgun terrarium, and the name seems to have stuck. The name comes ... These dehydrated coir mulch blocks weigh just 9 pounds and are delivered right to your door. Just add water and in 20 minutes, you’ll have 2 cubic feet of earth-friendly mulch. Made from coconut husks, coir has better water retention than bark, and reduces the temperature and moisture fluctuation by 50%. Keeps its rich color, too. Product Details Straw substrate is also considered to be less messy. Hardwood sawdust – you can choose from different hardwood sawdust like maple, oak beech, and many more. They can be a great substrate for your magic mushroom. This can be very effective especially when combined with bran supplement. I'll def try some straw as a bulk substrate next time. You can use a spawn ratio of 1/20 if you're spawning to straw. If you're spawning to manure, compost, or coir, don't go over 1:4. A greater spawn rate is preferred, because in addition to the faster colonization, the grains are an important source of nutrients during fruiting.

Effect of Storage Time to Ferulic Acid Content in Extracted Banana Stem Waste Juice
Objectives: The present of Ferulic Acid (FA) in plants attract the attention of many researchers, especially in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Banana Stem Waste (BSW) was generated from banana plantation. Methods/Statistical Analysis: In this study, FA was extracted from BSW by using sugarcane press machine. Extracted BSW juice (EBJ) was characterized based on the compositions of total phenolic and glucose. The effect of storage time of EBJ was studied. Design Expert software was used for the experimental design. One factor design was applied for the factorial analysis. Findings: The FA was analyzed by using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and FA yield ranging from 0.1101 mg/g to 0.2274 mg/g. The analysis of the results showed that storing EBJ at room temperature increased the ferulic acid yield however the ferulic acid decreased when the storage time exceed 24 hr. Application/Improvements: Effect of storage time to extracted ferulic acid concentration will be understood which in turn may be beneficial for the industrial purpose.

With each passing year, the value of supporting family farmers in Minnesota grows in popularity and importance. Yet long before the thoughtful sourcing of food was trendy, widely promoted or streamlined, Tracy Singleton of Birchwood Cafe in Minneapolis was actively investing in family farmer partnerships, many of which have endured for decades. Meat, dairy, produce, grains – chances are pretty great the food you order at Birchwood was grown or raised by Minnesota hands.
The Hmong American Farmers Association is one group Tracy eagerly welcomed into her fold before they had a proven track record and before their organic practices became certified. Pakou Hang, founder and Executive Director of HAFA, says, “We were so excited to partner with Birchwood. Birchwood is an institution with very similar values to HAFA. Tracy and Chef Marshall care about everybody – the people who grow food, make the food and eat the food. Partnering with them also helps diversify our farmers’ incomes.”
Started by Pakou in 2011, HAFA’s mission is to advance the economic prosperity of Hmong American farmers and their families through cooperative endeavors, capacity building and advocacy. Pakou explains, “Our goal is to help our farmers build wealth, not just income. Wealth creation is both about equity and self-determination.” To build equity, HAFA farmers (over one hundred individuals) have the option to buy shares of the HAFA farmland they cultivate – land they likely couldn’t afford if farming solo. When they decide to stop farming, they can sell their shares. In this way HAFA’s cooperative model helps farmers reduce their overall risk while still engaging in great farming opportunities.
Pakou’s vision doesn’t stop there: “We also want to change the way people view Hmong farmers. We want children and grandchildren to be proud of their farming family members and see it as a noble profession that deserves honor and respect. I want them to see their family’s wealth trajectory change because of farming.” | agronomy |

3. Describe the main features of the Permanent Settlement.
In order to get a stable revenue income, most of the East India Company’s officials believed that investment in land had to be encouraged and agriculture had to be improved. This led to introduction of permanent settlement in 1793
→ By the terms of the settlement the rajas and taluqdars were recognized as zamindars.
→ They were asked to collect rent from the peasants and pay revenue to the company.
→ The amount to be paid was fixed permanently.
→ It was felt that this would ensure a regular flow of revenue into the company’s coffers and at the same time encourages the zamindars to invest is improving the land.
→ If the zamindars failed to pay the revenue, which they usually did as the fixed revenue was very high, they lost their zamindari.
4. How was the mahalwari system different from the Permanent Settlement?
|The mahalwari system, devised by Holt Mackenzie, came into effect in 1822, in the North Western provinces of the Bengal Presidency.||The Permanent Settlement was introduced in 1793 by Lord Cornwallis.|
|It was devised as an alternative to the Permanent Settlement.||It was aimed at ensuring stable revenue for the East India Company.|
|The village headmen were in charge of collecting revenue.||The rajas and taluqdarswere in charge of collecting revenue.|
|The revenue amount was not fixed, and was to be revised periodically. The estimated revenue of each plot within a village was added up to calculate the revenue that each village or mahal had to pay.||The revenue amount was fixed and was never to be increased in the future.|
5. Give two problems which arose with the new Munro system of fixing revenue.
Two problems which arose with the new Munro system of fixing revenue were:
→ Driven by the desire to increase the income from land, revenue officials fixed too high a revenue demand.
→Peasants were unable to pay ryats fled the countryside and villages became deserted in many regions.
6. Why were ryots reluctant to grow indigo?
The ryots reluctant to grow indigo because:
→ The planters paid a very low price for indigo.
→ The ryots was not in a position to even recover his cost, earning a profit was a far-fetched idea. This meant that the ryot was always under debt.
→ The planters insisted that the peasants cultivate indigo on the most fertile parts of their land, but the peasants preferred growing rice on the best soils as after an indigo harvest, the land could not be used for sowing rice.
7. What were the circumstances which led to the eventual collapse of indigo production in Bengal?
The ryots began to refuse to grow indigo. They were supported by the village headmen and some zamindars in their fight. The scale of protest was so much that the government had to intervene. The Indigo Commission of set up to enquire into the problems. The Commission accepted the faults of the planters and allowed the ryots to grow whatever they wished. This led to eventual collapse of indigo production in Bengal. | agronomy |

Coursework on photosynthesis “investigating link between light intensity and photosynthesis” aleksandra kozielska, ib introduction plants produce oxygen photosynthesis is the main source of o2, therefore we would like to conduct an experiment on this vital and extremely important process. Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: the light-dependent reactions and the calvin cycle in the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water.
Photosynthesis is a vital chemical process not just for plants, but also for humans using sunlight, it produces the oxygen we breathe and much of the food we consume.

Food security is at the core of Sustainable Development Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
The Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Commission), at its Sixteenth Regular Session, acknowledged the key role biodiversity for food and agriculture plays for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Commission’s work contributes to several SDG Targets, particularly under SDGs 2, 14 and 15 and to the Aichi Biodiversity Targets that underpin some of them. Of particular relevance for the Commission is the work done in support of the SDG indicators of Target 2.5 that directly address the genetic diversity of populations of plant and animal genetic resources.
The Commission, at its Sixteenth Regular Session, requested FAO to prepare a study addressing the contribution of genetic resources for food and agriculture to the four pillars of food security and to the achievement of relevant SDGs, and to reflect the outcomes of the study in the revised report on The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture. In the report, biodiversity for food and agriculture (BFA) was defined as the subset of biodiversity that contributes in one way or another to agriculture and food production, more specifically “the variety and variability of animals, plants and micro-organisms at the genetic, species and ecosystem levels that sustain the ecosystem structures, functions and processes in and around production systems, and that provide food and non-food agricultural products”. Agriculture includes crop and livestock production, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture. The State of the World’s Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture report (FAO, 2019) describes the close linkages between genetic resources for food and agriculture and the ecosystem services required for their use provided by the associated biodiversity within and around production systems, and highlights the important contributions of wild foods to food security. Some of these aspects are therefore briefly reflected in this paper.
The paper explores different ways in which BFA contributes to achieving the four dimensions of food security – availability, access, utilization and stability. It analyses global data, identifies data gaps and uses literature references where data are not available.

The irrigation water in the north end of the City has been temporarily turned off due to low levels of water in the culinary water tanks. The north end of the City, with the exception of Harvest Hills, currently has been using culinary water for their irrigation needs. Because of the high temperatures and the amount of watering, the culinary water tanks that supply this irrigation system in these areas have been drawn down. In an effort to replenish the water in these tanks, the City needed to temporarily shut off the irrigation system in this area.
We expect the irrigation water to be turned on again this evening after the water tanks have been recharged. We expect that this pattern of shutting off the irrigation water during the day and turning it back on at night will continue for at least a week. Residents in other neighborhoods may see reductions in pressure during this time. The City anticipates bringing on additional wells this summer to help meet the demand for irrigation water. We also have plans in the near future to expand the irrigation system and provided irrigation water in these affected neighborhoods.
We realize that this is frustrating and inconvenient to our residents. We are asking residents and large water users to use discretion with their irrigation watering and cut back to watering at a maximum of once every other day. Thank you for your help and patience in this matter. | agronomy |

Much talk these days has centered on water conservation. Doyle Wilson, Lake Havasu City Water Resources Coordinator, has put together an extensive document that details plans for future possible water shortages. This can be found on the City website at http://www.lhcaz.gov/brochures/publicworks/2010waterConservationPlan.pdf.
However, we should not wait for potential serious drought to occur. Increasing population and water demands will also reduce the available supply. And how about thinking of lowering your water bill? Proper landscape irrigation is the answer.
Xeriscaping is using plants that need small amounts of water. Unfortunately, we live here in homes that already have the landscaping planted, so utilizing xeriscaping is only an advantage when adding new plants. Accessing the City’s website, you may also find an excellent list of low-water need plants and trees, so I will not go into detailing all of those.
Keep several things in mind when using outdoor water. The absorbing roots of a tree are around the drip line or outer canopy of the tree and extending out from there. Not at the trunk. It is therefore better to have a level watering basin in a donut-shape. This is not necessary with smaller plants.
Also, the roots of a large plant or tree are usually down 3 feet or more. Medium plants, such as shrubs – 2 feet; small plants – 1 foot or less. This means irrigating long enough for the water to seep down that far. Poke a soil probe rod into the ground after irrigating. It will move easily through wet soil, but become hard to push when it reaches dry. If you are watering very shallow, you are not effectively reaching the roots. If you water beyond the root zone, it only means you are wasting water.
In Lake Havasu City most of us have difficult soil conditions. It will usually take at least 30 minutes for water to reach the 3-foot level. Plants also need a short drying out period in between watering, so a heavy spaced out watering is much better than frequent, short-time watering. Smaller plants may only need 20 minutes of irrigation. Normal desert plants, such as cacti and succulents, may only need irrigation once a month and that is if no rain has occurred.
In LHC, I would recommend watering once a week during the winter. For summer and late spring-fall, twice a week. During a lengthy period of extreme (145+) temperatures, you may have to do a third run. The length of time can vary according to the type of landscaping on the bubbler run and each bubbler can be adjusted for low or high flow. Note that if it rains more than ¼ inch, you can shut off the runs for a week. With a 1-inch rain, about two weeks. If possible, plant or replant landscaping so that all plants/trees on a given run need about the same amount of water. Also keep in mind that factors of soil type, slope, and exposure to sun must be considered.
Do not irrigate during the hot time of the day. But bubblers (which are the irrigation method of 95% of our homes here) can break or get stuck. Leave enough daylight at the start or end of the irrigation time to examine the systems. Because of the salt content in our water, a blocking salt layer can develop at the bottom of the usual water level. Once or twice a year, water the areas twice as long to leach the salt and break that layer.

The winter in the Tuscan hinterland was quite cold, regularly rainy and often windy, facilitating the winter operations of pruning the vineyards. Spring arrived as usual in late March, with warm temperatures slightly ahead, mitigated by cold returns. Vineyards budded slightly early, showing very early production rich in clusters and deep green leaves. The hot, breezy Tuscan summer was interspersed with a few rains, most useful for the vineyards, which enjoyed the balance shown so far. Once the summer heat passed, September accompanied the ripening of the grapes to harvest with an excellent result, Merlot expressing fruit and complexity at its best, Cabernet Sauvignon finesse and structure and Petit Verdot the characteristic spicy notes.

LADB Article ID: 80178
By: Carlos Navarro
A Mexican researcher has published a study indicating that genetically modified corn does not provide significant benefits over native varieties. The study, conducted by Elena Lazos Chavero, a scientist with the social research entity Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) found that GMO corn does not result in higher yields or resistance to drought or disease than native varieties. According to the study, Mexico has between 59 and 64 native varieties of corn, which are competing with the GMO imports. “We do not need the transgenic corn,” said Lazos Chavero, pointing out that Mexico has sufficient genetic diversity to cover domestic needs. Livestock and poultry producers in northern states have joined multinational seed companies, without success, in the effort to gain approval to plant genetically altered yellow corn. They argue that Mexico should be able to produce its own corn for the livestock industry rather than rely on imports.

The center’s first-ever Virginia State University and U.S. Department of Agriculture Field Day drew a large and appreciative crowd from many Piedmont localities.
They came to connect with experts, researchers and Virginia’s agricultural leaders, and learn more about what’s available to help farmers with small acreages or who are just getting started.
To think it all began, more than a decade ago, with a bit of brainstorming.
Jewel H. Bronaugh, commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, recalled that moment in her opening remarks in the center’s auditorium.
Dr. Bronaugh recalled that Carl C. Stafford, Virginia Cooperative Extension‘s senior agent in Culpeper, came to visit her when she was a brand-new dean of the College of Agriculture at Virginia State University in Petersburg.
The idea Stafford wanted to bounce off her, as she remembered it: We have an old African-American high school in Culpeper, and the county is trying to figure out what to do with it. We’re trying to find some partners. What does VSU think about that?
He wasn’t asking for anything, but returned a year later to bring up the idea again, she said.
“I watched him not give up on this idea, and then he and others got it off the ground,” Bronaugh said. “That’s amazing. These are people who won’t let go of their vision.”
Bronaugh praised the Carver Center’s creation, and said she appreciated being in such a historic place.
“We’re going to see some history come out of here,” she said. “Built on the center’s African-American heritage, The Carver Center is going to grow a new vision of the future. And if there’s anything we can do to help, we will.”
Opened as George Washington Carver Regional High School in 1948, the brick building educated a generation of African-American students from Culpeper, Orange, Rappahannock and Madison counties in the final decades of Virginia’s segregated schools.
Culpeper County bought the building in 2005, and community partners began envisioning new uses for it in 2013. Culpeper has invested more than $1 million in buying and renovating the center, County Administrator John Egertson said as he welcomed participants to the Field Day at 8 a.m.
Within the next year, the county plans to move the Culpeper offices of the Virginia Cooperative Extension from downtown to the center, Egertson said.
Who is the person most trusted by farmers for knowledge based on sound research? “Almost 100 percent will stay it’s their county extension agent,” Bronaugh said.
She asked all the county extension agents to stand up, and she and the audience gave them a hearty round of applause.
Bronaugh said Virginia needs more places such as The Carver Center to provide a home for people trying to innovate in agriculture.
“It’s a struggle out here for farmers,” she said, citing growing seasons plagued by too much rain, tough commodities prices, and Chinese tariffs that have cost American farmers a huge chunk of their soybean sales in retaliation for U.S. duties on China’s goods.
Previously, Bronaugh directed VSU’s Center for Agriculture Research, and was the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s top Farm Service Agency administrator in Virginia, supervising 41 field offices. She was the first African-American woman in the nation to serve in such a capacity.
Inside, at tables set up in the center’s halls, state and federal experts described resources available to small farmers, from rural development loans to cover-crop advice to state agricultural data.
Outside, eight acres set aside behind the school for demonstration plots showed off the work of VSU’s Small Farm Outreach and Agriculture Research programs, the Rapidan River Master Gardeners, Black Farmers of America, state Department of Agriculture and state Department of Forestry.
The Master Gardeners demonstrated All-American seed varieties, alternate methods of supporting tomatoes, an “African keyhole” garden, different kinds of raised-bed gardens, and the use of plants that attract beneficial insects.
The local gardeners described how to build a no-big “hugelkultur” raised bed to grow vegetables. Such a mound, which can vary in height, it built from decaying wood and other compostable plant materials. Derived from the German word for a hill mound, hugelkultur beds hold moisture, build fertility, maximize soil surface volume and provide good spaces for growing fruit, vegetables and herbs.
In a small plastic greenhouse, VSU professor Reza Rafie and student Christos Galanopoulos showed how using a high tunnel, drip irrigation and pots can dramatically shorten the time to harvest for crops such blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, turmeric and ginger.
Nearby, visitors admired the rows of sweet corn being grown on a knoll by the Brandy Station chapter of the Black Farmers of America.
In a small wire pen, rabbits hopped about while extension agents explained how small farmers can raise rabbits to provide meat for restaurants, retail stores and farmers markets.
Equipment dealers demonstrated a mechanized bean picker and the latest small Kubota tractors.
And beside the old school, Culpeper’s Burnt Ends BBQ food truck kept participants happy and well fed with pork, chicken barbecue, beef brisket, and all the trimmings. | agronomy |

This is the only way we would truly be able to ensure that the farms are receiving fair prices for the crop they work so hard to cultivate. With this vision, we are also seeking to provide some of the best and affordable coffees from all over the world.
Our first direct relationship was established in October of 2019. It can be difficult for small coffee companies like ourselves to buy direct for all coffee offerings but as we grow, this will change.
Please check out the video below from our first direct farm relationship which is located in the New Oriente region of Guatemala, Bethel Farm. Bethel recently cut ties with some large coffee companies as the price they demanded were just too low. The result was a very low quality of life for the farmers and their workers. They are now selling all over the United States to small and medium size coffee companies.
We proudly donate $1 for every bag we sell directly to the Bethel farm and hope all of our products can soon be the same. | agronomy |

This study aimed to investigate the changes in the pecan kernel color, carotenoids, polyphenols, and physicochemical properties during five months of storage at room temperature for five different pecan varieties. The results showed that the pecan kernel color darkened with a shift toward more red and less yellow during the storage. Additionally, the dorsal side of the kernel had a lighter color than the ventral side. Total carotenoids deceased from 92.0–118.8 to 45.2–101.9 μg/100 g of whole kernel, while total polyphenols had no significant differences (18.1–27.0 mg of GAE (gallic acid equivalent)/g of whole kernel) commonly. Three phenolics (gallic acid, catechin, and ellagic acid) were of 6.7–9.6, 31.4–46.7, and 11.7–16.2 mg/100 g of whole kernel and increased during storage. The pecan kernel moisture loss was significant, while the total lipids remained unchanged. Five texture parameters (hardness, toughness, slope, fracturability, and break) showed irregular changes. Genotypic variation was observed in all five varieties, although the storage was the main factor affecting the compositions. | agronomy |

Texas Angus was presented a certificate of Achievement and nominee in the prestigious Prime Super Agricultural Innovation Award by Richard Bush, Crown Lands Commissioner representing The Hon. Melinda Pavey MP, Minister for Water, Property and Housing. Texas Angus was nominated for its holistic approach to regenerative agriculture, specialising in beef production. These Awards encourage, acknowledge and reward the valuable contributions that individuals, communities and businesses make throughout regional NSW and ACT.
It was highlighted that our synergy with the environment through sustainable practises of soil, plant and beef production was innovative. The introduction of mixed plant species, use of natural fertilisers for the past 14 years, application of microbial sprays, use of probiotics in cattle feed to enhance microbial rumen efficiency has increased our profitability whilst reducing our carbon foot print.

Gardening tools can be very expensive, and they also take up a lot of space in storage. When you are just beginning, stick to the basics, buy good quality items and maintain them to get the most out of your money!
Depending on what kind of garden you are thinking of starting and how elaborate you are planning it to be, you will need different tools. This article will tell you about some essential gardening tools for beginners!
Essential Gardening Tools for Beginners
Pulling out weeds, pruning your roses, sowing seeds, and thinning seedlings all can turn into a thorn and splinter-full task. This is why you need a good, durable pair of gloves to protect your hands while you work in your garden.
Try and look for gloves that fit correctly on your hands, are not too bulky, and are not too tight either. Gloves should be durable but also breathable and comfortable. Water-resistant gloves are also a great idea. Gloves that are longer and cover a bigger part of your forearm are also recommended to protect your forearms from scratches and to stop dirt and soil from getting into the gloves.
A trowel is basically a small, handheld shovel that can help you dig, mix fertilizer in the soil, remove and dislodge weeds, and a lot more. It is one of the most used tools for basic beginner gardens.
Make sure the handle of the trowel you purchase fits comfortably in your hand, as you will be using this tool a lot. There are trowels with broad blades and trowels with long narrow blades. Choose the type you think you will need the most!
Secateurs, or clippers, pruners, or shears, are basically the same. They are used like scissors for regular plant maintenance and upkeep. You will have to prune and tidy up your plants regularly to run a good garden. Secateurs are great for cutting small branches, twigs, leaves, and much more.
Purchase a secateur of good quality that also fits in your hand comfortably. Also, make sure you can operate and handle the secateur with one hand only to make it a useful investment.
Leaves, branches, and random debris will fall and fill up your garden. A rake is what you need to whisk this debris away and keep your garden clean and free from pests. Rakes are also useful for some gardening tasks other than just gathering and cleaning up leaves. It can be used for light tilling, weeding, digging and leveling the soil, and more.
A spade is a tool that every gardener should have! It is crucial to help you dig and plant trees. They can be a little pricey, but good quality and durable spade can last you for your whole gardening life. There are spades with long handles and short handles, depending on your needs and requirements. Try and look for a spade with a stainless-steel blade and a good quality wooden handle to ensure it lasts long. | agronomy |

Since I got a picture and will be “donating” some of my hard earned money I might as well get some information. I asked his name, he answered “Aguian (Agi – an)” and pointed to one of the metal plates.
THERE’S NO AGUIAN ON THE LIST! Does he really think he can fool me to get some of my hard earned money?
He continued pointing and I continued looking. “Wala naman po kayo sa listahan.” “Tingin ka sa may taas.”
THE VIEWPOINT WAS NAMED AFTER HIM!!!
I bombarded him with questions. You own the viewpoint? You own the rice terraces nearby? You stated the names of your ancestors before getting this land? He answered YES on all questions! Kuya Kevin (out tricycle driver) also confirmed it. He was definitely the owner of the viewpoint and the large rice terraces nearby.
I quickly changed my mindset from the cautious and doubting to the humbled and interested.
I asked a lot of questions and he was eager to answer them all. Here’s a list of what I found out about him and the rice terraces.
- Not all rice terraces have walls made of rocks. If the soil is compact and strong there is no need to put riprap to support it. Surprisingly, a large part of the famous Banaue Rice Terraces are one of them.
- The red plant is planted every after harvest to know that they have harvested on that time. Why are they few? Some wither and many are uprooted by the children.
They plant on a small patch of land in one of the terraces for the seedlings, then they get it and plant the many rice terraces.
- They hire people to plant and harvest the rice terraces.
- His wife was the one we saw planting rice sprouts in the terraces.
- The view printed on the Old 1,000 Peso Bill was actually from Manong Aguian’s View Point
Donation: 50 Pesos. Talk with one of the owners of the famous Banaue Rice Terraces, Priceless! 😀 | agronomy |

The privileged position of these lands provides a unique microclimate; kissed by sea breezes, sheltered from cold winds thanks to the embrace of the mountains to the rear and featuring a good temperature range from night to day, they are the perfect place for the cultivation of vines, the production of excellent wines and more…
In these lands, various fruit trees grow, along with medicinal herbs and berries that were used as far back as the Middle Ages for the creation of liqueurs with healing properties. The use of these plant components in decoctions, brews and other therapeutic drinks dates to even more remote times.
In 177 B.C., it was in these lands, in the last strip of Liguria on the border with Tuscany, that Luni stood, an ancient Roman city, rich in shining marble, an important port, a meeting place between peoples, for trade and cultural exchange. It is very probable that it was here that the Romans, on encountering other peoples, learned about this natural medicine and the art of producing liqueurs using wild herbs, berries and fruits of the forest.
They soon began to regard these drinks as elixirs that could cure the body and soul, often using the fruits they discovered while sailing the Mediterranean.
From this place, its history and its traditions, our distillery was established. | agronomy |

If spring is traditionally the sowing season, autumn is also a good time to sow flowers and vegetables. In the open ground in the vegetable patch and in the garden or in a planter on its balcony and its window sills, the sowing carried out between September and the first frosts will give you nice surprises the following months!
Sow flowers in autumn, in the ground or in a planter
In the wild, the seeds of certain flowers disperse at the very end of summer and patiently await the return of sunny days in the open ground, before germinating in spring. To reproduce this natural cycle, it is therefore entirely possible to sow your flower seeds on the fly or in a planter, then forget about them completely until spring! No need for watering or special care, just cover the seeds with a little soil and let nature do its work. Which flowers to sow? Only rustic annuals can be sown in the open ground in autumn: try, for example, poppies, blueberries, poppies, lark's feet, snapdragons or even Damascus nigelles.
Sow winter salads in September and October
In the vegetable patch, gardeners must constantly anticipate the next season. In autumn, it is therefore time to sow all varieties of winter salads. In September, sow arugula and mesclun then in October, continue with the sowing of spinach and mustard seeds. In November, you can even continue to sprinkle lamb's lettuce to be sure you have beautiful salads rich in vitamins and minerals all winter! The gardener's tip: sow your salads in the rising moon and in leaf day. Check out our lunar calendar!
Sow early vegetables for the winter
In the vegetable patch or on the balcony, fall is also a good time to sow turnips, early carrots, onions, beans and winter radishes. If you have a large vegetable patch, also think of kohlrabi and round peas, you will not regret it a few weeks later! To promote germination, you can let the seeds soak in lukewarm water the night before, then sow on a plot protected from the wind and well exposed to the sun. The gardener's tip: sow carrots, onions, turnips and radishes in the rising moon and in the root day.
Sowing aromatics in autumn
Certain aromatic plants are also sown in autumn! In September, sow the coriander in pots on your balcony without hesitation, as well as the oregano and sage. Ditto for chervil and parsley, which can be sown until the end of October! And if you do not have a balcony, do not hesitate to sow also indoors, following the same instructions as for spring sowing. Good sowing and good harvests! | agronomy |

Funded and sponsored by TreeCanada, Loblaw and Taste of Nature, this exciting and delicious project consisted of planting 14 varieties of native or heritage fruit and nut tree and shrub species at in the Kempt and Caledonia communities of Queens County, Nova Scotia. The 14 varieties were planted at the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute’s green facilities in Kempt, and also at the North Queens Regional School (NQRS) in Caledonia. They totalled approximately 85 plants in all, and included:
Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum)
Alleghaney Blackberry (Rubus allegheniensis)
Raspberry (Rubus idaeus ssp. strigosus)
Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa)
Black Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis)
Highbush Cranberry (Viburnum trilobum)
Beaked Hazelnut (Corylus cornuta)
Butternut (Juglans cinerea)
Black Walnut (Juglans nigra)
Apple (Malus sp)
Pear (Pyrus sp)
Peach (Prunus persica)
Plum (Prunus sp)
Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium)
Many of these species are native to Nova Scotia and provide a snapshot of the edible opportunities we have in our own native forests and wetlands. Other species already naturally found around MTRI and NQRS include Serviceberry (Amelanchier sp), Lowbush Blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium), Black Huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata), and Large Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon).
MTRI, the NQRS, and the community not only benefit from the product of fruit and nuts, but benefit from a continued educational site, cleaner air, shade, wildlife habitat and beauty. The planting site hosts informative signs about each plant, its uses and benefits and have added to the educational green technology, garden and agroforestry projects already in place at MTRI. Once the plants begin to bear fruit, MTRI staff expects to have an annual public harvest event in which harvest will be donated to the community.
A big thank you goes to Scott Verreault and Jeff Craft, two champion volunteers that worked hard to complete this project successfully. A thank you also goes to students from NQRS and exchange students from Toronto who also assisted in planting this garden. Please visit us again... come enjoy the fruits of your labour! | agronomy |

It is important to take care of your yard during the hottest months. Here are five tips to keep your curb appeal and get your lawn looking green.
As the weather heats up, your lawn will need extra attention. Your lawn will need at least one inch of water a week. If you are feeling the heat, imagine what your lawn is going through. Give your lawn a bit of extra water if the temperature hits the triple digits.
WATER EARLY AND DEEPLY
The best time of day to water your lawn is in the wee hours of the morning. If you have automatic sprinklers, set them to an early hour. This helps make sure that the water does not evaporate in the intense heat or have the potential to grow fungus overnight.
Additionally, make sure to water your lawn deeply. This means watering it thoroughly a few times and letting it soak in, rather than watering it briefly and often. When it comes to your lawn’s health think quality over quantity.
When temperatures are soaring, it is best to avoid fertilizing your lawn. The chemicals in the fertilizer can burn your lawn, causing discoloration. If you do fertilize, any new growth in your lawn will struggle to survive in the heat. If possible, try using an organic fertilizer. It contains fewer chemicals and has a slow release mechanism, that is less likely to burn your grass.
This is probably the least enjoyable part of landscaping, but it must be done. The summer months are the ideal months for weeding since the weeds will bloom and release seeds for the next year. It is best to nip this in the bud, so to speak.
Hand pulling weeds are the ideal option since it causes minimum stress to the lawn. If you are going to use a chemical spray, be sure that it is organic or non-harmful for your grass.
INSECTS AND BUGS
If you live in any city with high humidity, you know how big of an annoyance they can be. Insects are common in lawns that are extremely dry. Grubs start hatching during this season. If they are a severe problem, try using a grub remover around mid-summer. | agronomy |

The tradition brought ahead by the brothers Gaetano and Alfredo Falluto goes up again to the 1927. We are in the heart of the Sannio, in one of the numerous countries of the wine, in an earth that enjoys of a particular climate, where the rows of the grapevines and the green head of hair of the ulivis draw the sunny and uncontaminated hills. In 1984 the decision to go out of the social wine cellar to start working in really. The further breakthrough is in 1997 when the first labeled bottles go out, the call to the weapons of an oenologist, the care in the vineyards where they lower the surrenders for hectare. The results immediately are seen, favorite however from the good midday exposure of the vineyards all in half hill. | agronomy |

My lofty copper birch is shedding its leaves all over the place. I seemed to be finding tiger worms under ever leaf in my back garden. A quick look in the Can-O-Worms a few hours ago confirmed my suspicions. One of the tiers had been dislodged by the recent winds and the inhabitants have forsaken the high rise Can-O-Worms and escaped to the lowlands. I have spent the last hour “harvesting” the escapees and I have re-homed them in my composter. That should keep them happy for awhile. I will have to check the composter for onion skins and citrus skins.
The Can-O-Worms is a great “hands-on” educational tool for primary and secondary school students. Every child in Ireland learns about the humble earthworm at one time or another. This quiet and tireless underground eco warrior recycles the soil as it makes its way around the garden. The best earthworm for the all-purpose wormery is the tiger worm.
Tiger worms live near the surface and are often found under leaf litter and long-standing items such as flower pots. They are ideal for wormeries as they munch through vegetables, cut flowers, cooked leftovers, tea leaves, tea bags, coffee grinds, cardboard, paper, not to mention the usual garden offerings of cut grass, leaves and twigs. The resultant compost is rich and moist and the liquid which drains into the sump can be diluted 10:1. Worm Tea as it is known is ideal for tomato and soft fruit cultivation. I always wear rubber gloves when I use it.
As hardy and the tiger worms may be they do not like onion skins or the rinds of citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit. In fact, they will try to move as far away as possible from the offending material. I place these offending leftovers in a separate area and let the slugs deal with it.
Always wash your hands thoroughly after working on the wormery. | agronomy |

“That hill?” the Gardener’s son asked.
“That hill,” the Gardener answered
“Because that’s the hill I chose.”
“It is fertile and eager for life,” the counselor said. “The rocks can be removed. The soil can be turned.”
“You’d know,” the son replied. “What about our enemies?”
“We will build a watchtower,” the counselor replied. “All will be welcomed if they seek peace. Those who don’t will be rejected.”
“Why a garden at all?”
“I am King, my son, but I am more. I want to have the world see me through the life I bring. I want people on the road to see my garden. Take in the beauty. Taste the fresh fruit. Drink the wine. I want them to see who I am before they see me.”
“You have already planted a garden.”
“Yes! But that is within the walls now. No one can see that garden anymore. They can’t taste that fruit. Not yet. They will. But not yet. Now, I want to have a garden outside the walls. A garden of life which points to life.”
So they got to work, masters at what they do, eager to step down from their heights and get their hands dirty. Rocks were taken away. Paths were cleared. Choices seeds were found and planted with care. Vines were tended. Small saplings grew to strong trees. Flowers began to bloom. The garden flourished. It was beautiful and the bounty of what it offered in fruit and vegetables was vast. Vintners came and tasted the wine.
“It is magnificent,” they said. “We must share with those back home.”
Messengers were sent to the Gardener King. They brought gifts and praise and honor, declaring his work to be beyond measure.
The Gardener smiled. His son smiled. The counselor smiled.
Those who were hired to tend the garden smiled but not as much as before. They became discontent. The garden was not interesting enough anymore. They heard of different flowers and different trees and different ways of tending the soil. One fellow came along and told them tales of a garden he saw years before.
“There was this tree,” he said. “The fruit of which… wow, amazing. Really opened your mind. Too bad the Gardener won’t let you plant that here. It was something else.”
Those in the garden asked more; about how to find this tree, how to care for it, what it was like, if it could be planted again.
“Well, there are ways,” the man replied. “Of course, you can’t ask the Gardener King. There are others who can help. You need to ask them. They will show you beauty and tastes you can’t even begin to imagine.”
The servants began asking around and taking the advice of any who would offer it. It didn’t take long for their efforts to be noticed.
The counselor came by one day and plucked a fig off a tree, then spit it out after taking a bite.
“Terrible! I must mention this to the Gardener.”
The Gardener knew something had been going wrong, but took special notice now. He saw the flowers were dull and hardly any bees were around. The trees looked brown and the branches drooped. The grapes on the vines were small, shriveled. He tripped over some rocks, rocks that weren’t there before, stumbling into the dirt. He put his nose next to the soil and sniffed. Something was wrong. The soil was poisoned.
“What more could I have done?” he asked, tears streaming down his face. “I had a beautiful garden, with choice grapes and gorgeous flowers. Now look. What have you made of it? The soil is ruined. Nothing will grow.”
His anger began to rise.
“I will tear down the trees. I will break down the hedges. The watchtower will be abandoned. This hill will become a wasteland!”
The servants scattered. The Gardener and his counselor went back to the castle where they met the son..
“The garden is ruined,” the counselor said.
“Can anything be done?” the son asked.
“Yes,” the Gardener said. “But not now. The soil must recover. Then it must be replanted. New, healthy plants grafted onto the old to bring new life. It can be done. But the servants can’t be trusted to do it. Who can I trust? Who can bring life?”
“I will go,” the son replied. “I will replant your garden.”

For topworking, T-budding is more conservative of material than stick grafting. If topworking is chosen, then it must be decided whether to graft the scaffold branches or the stump. Stump grafting makes for a lower tree, but scaffold grafting reduces the risk of losing the topworked tree from damage to the graft from birds, pests, wind or frost. Cleft grafting is typically used in topworking limbs that are small enough to be split and forced open to receive the prepared scion of the new cultivar being attached to a mature tree.

Cleft and bark grafting techniques match up the larger limbs of an existing tree with smaller scion pieces of a new variety of the same species, which will grow on top of an existing fruit tree, adding branches of new varieties. Top-grafting, or topworking, is the grafting of the top portion of a plant that is already mature or large enough to have several branches.
This is sometimes necessary if the existing variety is of inferior quality or a poor cropper. The branches of the tree are cut back to stumps to which scions of a new variety are grafted using either of the following grafting methods.

Isn’t it? Because you need to start from scratch, right from sowing seeds to watering plants to cleaning the garden to enjoying the beautiful view of the flora family. This sounds just like how you see your kid growing from attempting to take small steps to learn how to walk!
Maintaining a garden requires not only patience but also needs one to shower love to plants. However, there are certain things that one needs to know about garden maintenance. Here is a piece of information that attempts to make the readers understand most things about garden maintenance!
To begin with, what is garden maintenance?
Garden maintenance, as the word says, maintaining a garden by showing regular care to it in a particular way. Garden maintenance could be just subjected to lawn care or might have extensive maintenance too.
What are some essential things that garden maintenance involve?
Garden maintenance involves many things that include applying pesticides and fertilisers, lawn care, washing, tidying, pruning, planting, weeding, hedge trimming and cutting, etc. However, these that are mentioned above depend on specific circumstances like seasons. For instance, pruning and tyding will be the main job during the winter season, whereas n the spring, washing the decking and planting will be the essential job in the spring.
What should you include in your garden maintenance plan?
- Make sure you are aware of the purpose of maintaining a garden.
- Have a rough idea about how should your garden look like?
- Fix your timings and decide how much time would you dedicate to the gardening.
- Research and get to know about the regular tasks that should be done to maintain your garden in specific seasons.
- Ask yourself if you will be able to do it constantly and regularly.
- Make a list of materials and tools you need to maintain a garden.
Once you are done with thinking and finding answers to the questions mentioned above, make a plan by drawing columns and rows to write down information about the maintenance monthly, yearly, and day-wise. Also, to be clear about the tools and materials purchased, make a checklist and proceed.
Which could be the adequate tools and materials required for garden maintenance?
A rake, a trowel, a spade, a house with a watering nozzle, a garden hoe, pruning shears or secateurs, a wheelbarrow, a strimmer, heavy-duty scissors for pruning, a strimmer, saw to cut tree branches, and some specialised tools are necessary for garden maintenance.
Why is garden maintenance a necessity?
After planting a garden, do not be ignorant enough and just think that it will work by itself. Make it work, dedicate a bit of time to maintain the garden, look after it with care. Do small tasks but make sure that they are helpful to the garden and give effective results! | agronomy |

Through decentralized science and collective action, VIN-Q aims to facilitate scientifically validated decision-making in agronomic management, fostering a shift towards sustainable and regenerative practices. In this blog post, we will explore how the Crowdfield Companion (CFC) Project utilised VIN-Q as a case study to test technological tools and support the community’s common purpose. You can access to the full case study here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Fiona-Delaney/publication/371867097_Smart_Farming_and_Climate_Action_knowledge_transfer_and_stakeholder_reputation_in_multi-disciplinary_innovation_ecosystems/links/6499c5d1c41fb852dd347bbd/Smart-Farming-and-Climate-Action-knowledge-transfer-and-stakeholder-reputation-in-multi-disciplinary-innovation-ecosystems.pdf
Why CFC selected VIN-Q as Case Study?
VIN-Q’s mission revolves around creating a co-creation community that connects wine producers, researchers, and technology providers. By leveraging collective knowledge and decentralized science, VIN-Q seeks to transform scattered vineyards and individual farms into a cohesive research infrastructure. This infrastructure enables the testing and validation of new methods and tools, accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture on a global scale.
The stakeholders involved in the VIN-Q project are diverse and encompass cross-disciplinary experts. Scientists, researchers, farming and food industry experts, local/regional members, public administration, tourism, and property management all play a role in this collaborative ecosystem. It is important to note that individuals often hold multiple stakeholder roles, emphasizing the interconnectedness and shared responsibility within VIN-Q.
CFC Prototype App
Synchronizing Communication and Collaborative Actions:
To test the prototype App developed by the CFC, VIN-Q coordinated its efforts with on-site research activities. Researchers attended on-site visits, representing their research projects and collecting samples for additional researchers. The prototype App was distributed to wine-growers through cooperative networks and feedback was sought from pre-qualified community members. By aligning the testing of the App with existing research activities, VIN-Q ensured a seamless integration of technology and collaborative actions
Trust based Digital Farming Collective:
VIN-Q’s journey towards becoming a digital farming community has encountered challenges in terms of information sharing, access to the latest advancements, and data integration. The project recognizes the need for interdisciplinary data to make evidence-based decisions tailored to specific conditions. The VIN-Q platform offers various features such as creating posts, groups, ratings, training courses, and media libraries to support knowledge sharing and collaboration. The CFC-developed App serves as a valuable tool for knowledge transfer and reputation tracking within the community.
Learnings from the CFC Experiment:
The CFC experiment with VIN-Q provided valuable insights and feedback for both projects. Participants highlighted the App’s potential for teaching and engaging technicians in taking samples for analysis. To enhance user engagement, it was suggested to increase the app’s features, utilize multimedia content like videos and podcasts, and incentivize participation through micro-credentials and reputation building. Additionally, the App served as a means for auditing purposes, allowing farmers to provide evidence-based information through image uploads and test results.
The VIN-Q case study presented an opportunity for the Collaborative Futures Consortium to test technological tools and support a community-driven transition to regenerative agriculture. By embracing decentralized science and collaborative efforts, VIN-Q showcases the power of knowledge sharing and collective action in driving sustainable agricultural practices. As the VIN-Q project continues to evolve, it serves as an inspiration and model for other industries and communities seeking to embrace innovative technological solutions for a brighter and greener future. | agronomy |

Simply stated, if you would like to give your plants the best chance of setting from the landscape by following spring, then plant them in autumn!
Before I enter the seven significant actions to planting victory, allow me to clarify why collapse the best time for planting. First this year delivers the utmost amount of time for fresh plants to sit in prior to the heat and strain of following summer. Second, above earth, the cooler atmosphere is because of plant leaves and decreases the odds of a power zapping chain reaction across the remainder of the plant.
Under the surface, soil temperatures remain warm that gives you an superb environment to excite and boost new root growth. Collectively, it is the cooler atmosphere and warm soil temperatures of fall that cause the ideal mix for institution. Should you plant in autumn, in many, although not all situations, they need to be well-established by following summer.
Another advantage to drop apart is that lots of trees and plants are entering a period of dormancy. Without the necessity to allocate funds into foliage plants now change their energy to root growth and storing resources and nutrients to the months ahead. While conditions are favorable today, that’s not to mention you simply plant it and forget it.
1) Prepare the correct planting hole
When preparing tree for plantation, make sue that the hole is two to three times broader than the current root density but not deeper than the plant has been growing in its past surroundings. With trees, a much greater guide is to start looking for the flare of this trunk near the soil level. The reality is that nurseries occasionally put plants too intensely. There have been a number of instances where I have really had to pull soil to discover the bottom of the back and true surface origins. Plant high.
2) Planting high
I move even 1 step further by putting transplants in their environment with as much as 25 percent of their root ball greater than the surrounding soil level. I then taper dirt up to cover all of the roots and put in a generous layer of compost over that. Newly disturbed soil has a propensity to settle and trees and shrubs planted under grade can certainly succumb to root rot or disorder. In my book it is always preferable to plant a tree or tree slightly high and permit the region to drain than to get a plant to sit down in a bowl and then collect extra water.
3) Inspect the roots and upset when necessary
When the plant is outside of its tank, examine the roots. If they’re densely jump in a round pattern or have begun growing in the form of the container, then divide the pattern. I can not emphasize this enough! It is more important to prevent this routine now than be worried about damaging the roots.
The biggest error you can make at this stage would be to put a root-bound plant to the earth as is. If you don’t break up the routine, you have probably sentenced the plant into a slow (or quick ) death. At minimum, it will never set or attain a portion of its potential. Remember this is the only realistic opportunity to get this done. I’ve observed several shrubs and trees die within weeks of planting since nobody took the opportunity to split up the root-bound design. Although the crops were watered, the roots had been closely wrapped, they could not take this up. Do not be concerned about damaging the roots or shedding dirt because you split apart the roots or perhaps cut some away. Better to give them a new start than let the constrictive blueprint to just get worse below floor.
As you do not wish to be any more demanding than mandatory, do everything you have to to detain the routine. I often scratch my palms round the sides and underside of this plant, even in moderate cases. In more severe scenarios, I will slice up the origins , hack off the bottom inch or so, pull then pull the root mass to definitely create chances for non-circular brand new root growth.
4) When to start amending the soil
Another motive for digging a broad planting hole is to supply the very best chance for origins to enlarge to its new growing atmosphere. Regrettably, all too frequently, we dig a pit that’s hardly wide enough for the root ball, and hope to compensate for adding some dirt amendments. While in theory, this seems sensible, in practice, it is a false sense of safety that could result in poor institution.
I will be the first to state, any moment you may boost your soil with organic matter or Accredited Compost is virtually always a fantastic thing. But in circumstances where the planting hole is insufficiently broad, studies reveal roots have a tendency not to propagate out into outside the narrow planting pit, rather choosing the luxury states of the amended soil where they have a tendency to remain. Rather, dig out a hole wide enough to accommodate the main canal in a plant’s maturity. The advantage is ample chance for complete origin growth, and at a soil environment that’s significantly improved.
5) Remove air pockets
I add water into the hole following backfilling half way. Not only does this provide needed moisture but also the water helps remove air pockets which could otherwise lead to dead roots.
Water thoroughly once all of the soil is set up. I love to utilize a hose-end nozzle or nozzle which provides a solid blast of water to split up clumpy soil and permit new dirt to fill in and settle into these vacated air pockets.
6) Add mulch
Put about three inches of organic matter around the plant, at least out to the drip line, such as shredded leaves, or ground bark or wood mulch. Further is easier. A very important requirement for newly installed plants, Mulch helps retain much-needed moisture and helps keep roots cooler near the surface.
7) Keep watering
The main job you’ll have after planting would be to maintain trees and plants well-watered until recognized. This can take months to a year!
Since installing more than 200 shrubs and trees in my landscape this autumn, I have watered every plant daily (here in Atlanta) for around the first fourteen days. Then gently ease back from that point.
Take note there is a fine line between watering enough and watering too much–particularly with big trees which arrive with root balls wrapped in burlap. These trees have dropped all their puppy roots when dug out of the ground. Supplying adequate water is important to their survival and institution. Yet I have killed over 1 tree such as this from over-watering. Even in the event that you prepare a large planting hole, even if drainage is weak, the main ball might be sitting and drowning, and you won’t understand recognize it before it is too late.
There is no simple way to understand deep down how moist the soil is. The very best advice I can provide is to pay close attention to the way the tree reacts (and all of your crops for that matter). While it’s typical for them to shed up to half of their leaves to pressure (a standard part of the procedure ), more can signal a possible issue. If you feel that the tree is reacting poorly, and you’re watering consistently, you are probably over-watering. When the leaves are turning brown, burning round the borders, drying upfalling off, and the soil looks dry, water .
To increase the challenge, dirt that looks dry on top, can be quite wet a couple of inches . And the contrary is true also. All the more reason it’s crucial to employ your detective abilities based on monitoring and understanding how little or much you have been watering. Occasional watering during the entire year could be essential to prevent plants from getting overly dry. Roots are still increasing and soil moisture is critical for appropriate institution.
And do not presume that once spring arrives, your irrigation responsibilities are supporting you. My situation is the perfect example.
When spring came, it was unseasonably dry and hot. Though I was diligent about always watering through autumn and into winter, a lot of my crops weren’t yet able to create it on their own without consistent supplemental irrigation assistance from me. In reality, summer was worse, with large constant temperatures and no rain. I spent hours each week moving from plant to plant providing them a thorough soaking.
Among the greatest time-savers you may see to lighten the load and set a few of your irrigation responsibilities on auto-pilot would be to use soaker hoses or trickle irrigation together with mobile battery operated sockets. Maybe my very best specimen tree in my whole landscape was a part of the transplanting challenge past fall. Without the support of my soaker hoses , I am not sure it’d have survived the move. However, now it is flourishing and that I can safely state, having the ideal equipment available made the gap. I can’t stress the significance of this enough!
When should trees and shrubs be fertilized ?
As soon as you understand your shrubs and trees have taken to their new surroundings through effective institution, now you can start a fertilization regimen to help feed your plants. However, I do not suggest fertilization till afterward. Otherwise, you are placing undue strain on crops which don’t have to be exerting extra energy to put on new development. Rather, until recognized, my view is that the majority of energy ought to be focused on root growth and fundamental institution.
While the above steps are crucial to success, there’ll never be a much better time of year than collapse to relocate shrubs and trees or plant new ones. It is easier on you as well as the crops. Once established, you will be rewarded for your efforts to get forever more. | agronomy |

Who has never dreamed of seeing a plant grow in their garden, of admiring a small seed that transforms and develops into a real plant?
If there is a particular pleasure that every gardener can experience, it is that of sowing.
This cultivation method is far from difficult and will above all be the
most economical and most rewarding for all gardeners.
This is the most natural method of reproduction for a plant, but sowing requires some rules simple and effective to optimize plant growth in the best conditions!
The rules for sowing well
- Have a quality soil: Choose a special sowing soil that will give you flexibility and lightness.
- Choose the right time: Sowing is done mostly in early spring, but some plant species require sowing in the fall or late winter.
The different types of seedlings
Here is the method to use for each of them :
(click on the type of seedling desired)
- Sowing in place : It is done in the ground when there is no longer any risk of frost, where the plant will then continue all its vegetation.
- Sowing under shelter : It can be done at the end of winter, before spring arrives.
It is sowing that is done outdoors, but in a glazed shelter to capture the sun's rays and improve the temperature.
- Seedling in the nursery : It mainly concerns fragile plants that fear the cold.
It is generally carried out in a greenhouse.
- Seedling in terrine : This is the best way to proceed for sowing under cover or in a nursery.
It is used for fine seeded seedlings. | agronomy |

Maria and Milkiadi and their four children are learning more about farming — and themselves — every day. And it shows.
When they joined Food For His Children in 2013, they were using outdated equipment and practices. But, with agricultural training through FFHC, they’ve learned how to implement new tools.
On their half-acre farm, they were collecting 2-3 bags of maize. Now, they harvest 8-10 bags of crops! Because of their bump in crops, Maria and Milkiadi were able to purchase supplies for a wooden cart they use to collect water every day.
They’re learning to dream, too. Maria hopes to open a shop. The couple wants to build a brick home for their family. And, they want to educate their children. They plan to sell the family’s buck to pay for school fees and uniforms.
But maybe best of all, their entire family — including Maria and Milkiadi is growing healthier every day. They are stronger because of the goat milk they drink each day. And they can finally afford medical care — a huge blessing.
Each and every family involved in FFHC must find their own “why.” Their own reasons for getting up early to complete their chores, build a shed and harvest crops. For this family, it’s clear. Their “why” is seeing their family thrive. | agronomy |

To address these issues, Lowcountry Local First partnered with Clemson University to develop an Incubator Farm that provides a low-risk incubation period for farmers interested in entering the market. The initial 10 acre parcel located on Walnut Hill Plantation is divided into 1-2 acre plots for up to 6 farmers and 1 acre for a Teaching Plot for apprentices, students, and the public. The Incubator Farm provides the opportunity to share equipment and resources as well as the mentorship of a farmer during a three-year incubation period.
The Incubator Farm - the first of its kind in the state - opened in the Fall of 2012. Meet the Farmers!

August: Basil, Flowers, Tomatoes
August 6th Still Life #9342
How do you mark time? I look out the window and see my flowers, tomatoes and basil growing. Each week I look at their progress and estimate if they can be harvested in time for my birthday wish.
My wish is to be able to eat fresh tomatoes on August 9th.
This year I was gifted with a dozen fresh tomatoes in my urban garden so the timing was lovely.

The hog industry has done this for a few years now, but since the NH3 content of dairy manure is lower than hog manure it hasn't really been done in our area. The manure we are allowed to put on according to our CAFO permit will only amount to about half the required NH3, this farmer will have to return to the field in a few days and add liquid NH3 to ensure a great crop. Driving over a field twice is less than ideal, but adding expensive commercial NH3 is less than ideal as well. It will be fun to look the differences in the field when manure was placed, and where only NH3 was used. Check out this picture of John Fry injecting digested dairy manure through his aerway tool. http://tweetphoto.com/17386118
On another note, the smell from digested dairy manure is significantly less, and hopefully more palatable to any farm neighbor concerned about the smell.

In fact, many sugar maples have been tapped for over 150 years.
- Warm sunny days (above 38 degrees F) and frosty nights are ideal for sap flow. The maple season may last 6- to 10-weeks, but sap flow is heaviest for only about 20 days.
- Each tap yields an average of 10 gallons of sap per season or about one quart of maple syrup.
- Maple syrup is boiled even further to produce maple cream, sugar, and candy. It takes one gallon of syrup to produce eight pounds of maple candy or sugar.
- Typically, a maple tree is at least 40 years old and 12 inches in diameter before it’s tapped.
- A gallon of pure maple syrup weighs 11-pounds and contains no preservatives or additives.
- The sugar content of sap averages 2.5%, while the sugar content of the syrup is 66.9%.
