New York State often gets referred to as the Big Apple. We honestly deserve that title. Did you know that New York State is home to the largest Mcintosh apple orchard in the world?
Mcintosh apples are considered to be the best tasting apples in the world. Their history has roots in Upstate New York:
Around 1800, John McIntosh moved from Schenectady, New York, to Ontario, Canada, where he found a clump of trees that had sprung up from the core of an apple that had been dropped. Of this original group of trees, only one tree survived, which McIntosh’s son, Allan, propagated as the McIntosh Red.
Chazy Orchards has the legendary title of being the home of the “Largest McIntosh Apple Orchard in the World.” The orchard was originally planted in the 1920’s, and it's still going strong today:
The original Chazy Orchard, in our current location, was planted in the mid-1920s. Owned at that time by a subsidiary of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad Corporation, the orchard was planted to generate freight shipments across the country for the railroad. Even now, some of the trees from this original planting remain part of our orchard."
Chazy Orchards annually produces nearly 300,000 bushels of McIntosh apples, in addition to Honeycrisp, Cortland, SnapDragon, Gala, and SweeTango. Chazy Orchards credits their location as to why they are so special. They claim it is the microclimate that exists only in that region of New York state:
The cool falls and mild summers; the heavy calcium content of our soil; the amount of rainfall we receive; the quality of our air and water – all of these facets of nature form the perfect combination for growing the most delicious apples in the world – right here."
You can visit them today at 9486 Route 9 in Chazy New York. | agronomy |

The Ministry of Agriculture continues to report significant progress in the sowing of spring crops in Bulgaria. In their latest report for the period up to June 1, oilseed sunflower sowing progressed by 17 kha, bringing the area for the season to 821 kha, against 848 kha a year ago. Year-on-year backlog shrinks to 3%.
By 13 kha more, compared to the previous week, the areas sown with corn for grain reached 465 kha, against 510 kha a year ago. The lag, if it can be called such on June 1, compared to last year is 7%.
Regarding the statistics, we note that the areas to be harvested with autumn crops remain unchanged. Accordingly, wheat is with 1192 kha, barley with 117.5 kha and rapeseed with nearly 94 kha.
MATIF funds remain massively short in the wheat market, but since the beginning of May we have increasingly had short covering weeks. The last one, which is for the period until last Friday, is not like that, as in it we have a new shortening by 4k to 71.6k net short contracts. Whether it is because of what is happening in Ukraine or because today we are expecting the June USDA report, but grain markets rose sharply yesterday. After a year of continuous decline, the potential for a more substantial positive correction is certainly there. It remains to be seen if and when it will happen and how deep it will turn out to be.
There was minimal shorting by funds last week in the corn market, where net shorting increased by 0.3k to 4.4k contracts. Rains that have already started in France and have not stopped for weeks in central and southern Europe are a good reason for the continued negativity. With exports from Ukraine increasingly lacking, Southeast Asian corn importers are meeting their needs mainly from South America, where, despite crop problems in Argentina, there is apparently no shortage of cheap (Brazilian) offers.
The most persistent in their negativity, however, are the funds on the rapeseed market, on which since the end of last year, the net shorts have been in the range of 30-40k. The last week, however, marked a kind of record, because after a new 1.3k short, the net short increased to 41k contracts. With wildfires unabated, the canola market in Canada supports an increase in MATIF, which does not change the generally negative picture in both markets. Palm oil remains weak, crude is almost flat from last month and other vegetable oils such as Rotterdam sunflower continue to try to stabilize.
Expectations for today’s report are not high, in the sense that the changes in it are unlikely to impress one way or the other. Production in South America is now almost clear, and it is still too early for big changes in the Northern Hemisphere. After beaver rains, wheat planting in Argentina advanced rapidly by 13% for the week, ending at 19.5%, against a 30% average over the past 5 years. Export sales from the US are not impressive, but at least they are positive for both new and old vintage. With expectations of up to 600 km, a total of 240 km are accounted for both, of which 235 km are new.
After the cancellation of purchases from Mexico, corn sales are totally disappointing, with expectations of up to 1,000 kmt, only 66 kmt were reported, of which 173 kmt old and cancellation of 107 kmt new crop. Harvest in Argentina remains slow, with 33% complete as of June 7, compared to 44% on average over the past 5 years. From 2.27 Mha, 10.8 Mmt were harvested with an average yield of 475 kg/dk. The condition of the non-harvested crop is improving as poor and very poor (CBA) crops are down 1% to 53% from 24% a year ago.
Practically irrelevant now, but recent rains have significantly improved soybeans in Argentina, with the share of crops in LML condition falling 8% to 32%, versus 21% a year ago. The harvest is nearing completion, with 94% of the areas harvested, from which 19.55 Mmt were harvested with an average yield of 151 kg/dk. With expectations of up to 700 kmt, weekly soybean sales from the US are 472 kmt. At the lower end of expectations for 150-600kmt are the sales of meal with 268kmt. Soybean oil is again a complete disappointment with 0kmt, with expectations of up to 20kmt.
Black Sea Region
An essential part of yesterday’s increase in the price of grain exchanges is a clarification by the Ministry of Agriculture of Ukraine that due to the exploded dam wall, the damage to grain production may reach “several million tons”. And these damages will not be so much from the immediately flooded areas as from missing irrigation, which is a key factor for the good yields in the country in recent years. Several hundred thousand tons of grain stored in river terminals along the Dnieper River were also completely destroyed. The looming irrigation problems come after nearly a month of lack of rainfall in the central parts of the country.
The Russian exporter (Agric), which won the last Egyptian wheat auction with a bid that was $11 below all other Russian exporters, has filed a request to cancel the agreed sale. There is still no official statement from Russia, but local and foreign analysts comment that the reason for this is non-compliance with the price floor approved by the Russian authorities, which is $240 per ton on an FOB basis. The grain union of Russia commented that they “do not accept international exchanges as a reliable price indicator” and “have no interest in sales below cost price”.
For the first time since the beginning of the season, Ukraine reported a week with zero sunflower exports. Exports of sunflower oil, however, remained stable, increasing by 20% compared to the previous week to 110 kmt. The biggest buyers were Turkey with 36kmt and Italy with 20kmt. The export of sunflower meal, on the other hand, fell by 25% to 67.5 kmt, with the biggest buyers being Poland with 15 kmt and Italy with 12 kmt. From the beginning of the season, the export of meal reached 3.2 Mmt, and of oil 4.3 Mmt. | agronomy |

It comes above all from their overriding desire to get things right, from their devotion in looking after the vines and the soil to the best of their ability and from the precision with which they craft the wines. Everything counts, and at Château Petit Val the greatest attention is paid to working in harmony with our vines. It is our ambition to achieve perfect symbiosis between nature, the hand of Man and the wine produced, to ensure we get the very best.
The real asset of the Château Petit Val estate is the diversity and complementarity of its different terroirs. The vineyard consists of 12 hectares (30 acres) of perfectly balanced sandy clay and clayey limestone soils, ideal characteristics for wine growing.
Led by the estate manager David Liorit, our team has adopted a rational cultivation process that prioritises a balanced approach aiming to enrich our soil, protect the fruit and leave time for the benefit of our wines. | agronomy |

The couple would like to expand their production, but the main factor slowing them down is a shortage of skilled help.
Ms Smith said the dearth of local workers had prompted her to recruit from overseas, with two of the couple’s full-time employees having permanently migrated from South Africa under the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme.
“We, of course, looked locally first,” she said. “But, failing that, we started to look overseas. There just aren’t enough people in Australia that want to work on farms.”
A study by the Australian Workforce and Productivity Agency published yesterday found a dire shortage of skilled workers within the agricultural and food sector.
The AWPA food and beverage workforce study made 13 recommendations, finding there was a desperate need for a single national co-ordinating body representing industry, government, employee representatives and the tertiary education sector to provide leadership on skills and workforce development across the agrifood supply chain.
National Farmers Federation chief executive Matt Linnegar welcomed the report, which the NFF helped develop, saying it added weight to its calls for collaboration across the education and agricultural industries to build a sustainable skilled workforce.
Mr Linnegar said one of the NFF’s key concerns was a lack of robust data around the workforce-development needs of agriculture, and he hoped that a new national co-ordinating body would work to build a workforce profile for the sector so solutions could be found to skill shortages.
Ms Smith said she was looking overseas again to fill another farm role, having failed to find someone locally.
“One thing I’m concerned about is that some of the skills we need on farms aren’t met by the skilled migration list. We need someone who’s had a lot of experience farming, who has those skills, not necessarily someone who has a qualification on paper, but it’s very difficult to prove to the Immigration Department that someone has those skills.”Source: The Australian – Not enough Australians want to work on farms

There will be multiple opportunities to see examples of success stories and research results for a range of cultivation systems, for example:
– closed hydroponics;
– vertical farming;
– decision support systems for enhanced crop nutrition e.g., NUTRISENSE;
– sustainable farming practices e.g., organic, conservation, advanced crop rotations
– other nature-based solutions e.g., biofertilisers and bioactives.
These principles based on the application of these technologies are based on cyclic use of natural organic materials and fertilisers, and facilitated by use of novel precision management decision support systems (DSS). The approaches will reduce nutrient losses, increase nutrient use efficiency, optimise system function and so crop performance and resilience.
There will be the opportunity to visit the Intelligent Green Crops SA, a modern greenhouse with a commercial hydroponic nutrient film (NFT) technique sliding-bench system, showing the value of soilless cropping systems that demonstrate a validated advanced system for recycling of fertigation effluents and minimization of nutrients losses and generation of greenhouse gases.
Interacting with stakeholders in agri-food production will be a key element during this visit, while getting to know a range of other hydroponic- and vertical-farming enthusiasts. | agronomy |

The benefits of mulch include moisture retention in the soil, temperature control, and inhibited weed growth. Mulch have the right to be made of organic material such as pine needles and sawdust, or it can be made of rubber or minerals.
You are watching: How much does one yard of mulch weigh
The weight of her mulch is dependence upon exactly how much mulch you need and also what material the mulch is do of. To determine exactly how much mulch you will certainly need, you must very first calculate the square footage of the soon-to-be-mulched area.Measure the length of the area, then measure the width. Main point the two numbers together and also now you recognize the square footage of the area. Because that circular areas such as the basic of a tree, measure up the diameter that the area that you wish to mulch. Division your diameter by 2, then multiply the figure by itself. Take that an outcome and multiply it by 3.14.If the area is in an irregular form that is not rather a rectangle but not fairly a circle, create a rectangle approximately the area and measure native there. It’s far better to overestimate and also have excess material than to have actually too little material to attain the job.
The depth of her mulch is dependence on exactly how much coverage you desire to accomplish. If applying mulch for aesthetic purposes, you want an also layer. If your flower bed is made up of different plants, you might want to vary the depth roughly each plant based on that plant’s needs.No plant need to have much more than 4 inches of mulch on optimal of that soil. An ext than 4 inch of mulch will rob the soil listed below of moisture and oxygen. The an outcome of this deprivation would certainly be the death of your beloved plants. If the area to it is in mulched consists of no plants, feel free to use as lot as friend please.Once you’ve determined on the depth that the area, multiply the number by your square footage. Currently you’ve figured out your cubic feet.Mulch is typically sold in bags measure by cubic feet. This renders it less complicated for the consumer to decipher how countless bags of mulch they need. If a bag of mulch consists of 2 cubic feet the material and you’re do the efforts to to fill 12 cubic feet, you’ll need six of these bags.
Now that we’ve identified how plenty of cubic feet the mulch you will do it need, the time to go shopping. If you worried around the load of the mulch, there are a couple of factors that have the right to vary between mulches.A bag the one type of mulch won’t weigh the same as a bag of another type. The products that the mulch is written of perform not sweet the same. A lb of feathers and also a pound of bricks may weigh the same, yet a cubic foot of pine bark mulch and a cubic foot the compost mulch won’t be same on the scale.Wood mulches commonly come in 2-cubic-foot bags. These bags can weigh around 20 pounds.Straw mulch bags differ. They deserve to be discovered in bags the 1 cubic foot or 2.5 cubic feet. One 1-cubic-foot bag the straw mulch will certainly weigh roughly 20 pounds. The 2.5-cubic-foot bags have the right to weigh as much as 50 pounds. Compost mulches have the right to weigh about 44 pounds every cubic foot.Inorganic products for mulch have tendency to weigh more per cubic foot than their plant-based counterparts.Shredded rubber mulch have the right to weigh 44 pounds per cubic foot. Rocks used for mulch room usually offered in 0.5-cubic-foot bags. One 0.5-cubic-foot bag of river rocks deserve to weigh 50 pounds. This way that every cubic foot weighs in in ~ a chuck 100 pounds. Egg absent is comparable in weight as one 0.5-cubic-foot bag weighs around 45 pounds. Lava rock is the lightest rock option. Its bags only weigh 18 pounds every 0.5 cubic foot.Marble chips space a beautiful means to gain the services of mulch in your garden there is no the product decomposing. Marble chips are usually marketed in 0.5-cubic-foot bags that sweet 45 pounds each.
Small areas may require as small as 2 cubic feet the mulch. If she wondering just how much does 2 cubic feet of mulch weigh, the price is as simple as multiply the figures above.

When using lumber mulch, 2 cubic feet will weigh approximately 20 pounds. Straw mulch will tip the scale simply as much, weighing in at 40 pounds because that 2 cubic feet. Compost mulch will total 88 pounds for 2 cubic feet. The same deserve to be said for rubber mulch. Flow rocks weigh around 200 pounds every 2 cubic feet. Egg absent is a nearby second, coming in at 180 pounds for 2 cubic feet. Lava rock will weigh just 72 pounds because that 2 cubic feet. Because that 2 cubic feet of marble chips, you’ll find the weight to be 180 pounds.

We've been enjoying the peas we planted in early spring, harvested a handful or two at a time, and are awaiting the appearance of the green beans. I found some beautiful, thin beans at the store, though and whipped them up for a delicious side dish to our grilled steak last night.
Fagiolini con Gorgonzola
You will need: green beans, olive oil, a clove of garlic, a handful of crumbled gorgonzola, some toasted walnuts
Steam or boil the beans until tender. Drain, and immerse in cold water to stop the cooking and set the color.
In a skillet, heat a drizzling of olive oil, then add a clove of garlic which has been sliced in half. Saute it until the garlic begins to color, then remove and discard it. (You just want it to flavor the oil.) Add the green beans, a sprinkling of salt and a generous sprinkling of freshly-ground pepper. Toss to coat and reheat the beans. Arrange on a serving plate. Sprinkling with crumbled gorgonzola cheese, then top with chopped, toasted walnuts. | agronomy |

III Michaels Estate vineyard is located on the eastern bench of the Oakville appellation in the heart of Napa Valley. A gentle slope provides excellent drainage, which regulates the vegetative growth of the vines allowing for good sun exposure on the fruiting zone. Having cooler soils than most Napa Valley vineyards, we see slower growth and later ripening than average Cabernet Sauvignon sites. The ideal soils combined with a sunny western exposure, allows the fruit to enjoy long hang time becoming perfectly ripe without excessive sugar accumulation.
III Michaels Estate vineyard consistently produces fruit of optimal natural acidity, allowing for the production of balanced wines.
Rutherford River Ranch, Rutherford – Sauvignon Blanc (EMERSON BROWN)
Rutherford River Ranch is located on banks of the Napa River in the heart of Rutherford. Growing conditions for expressive Sauvignon Blanc could not be more ideal here. The well drained, mineral-rich alluvial soils allow for a deep root system alleviating the need for irrigation. Because of Sauvignon Blanc’s upright growing habit, the vineyard is trellised on a Geneva Double Curtain system, which provides optimum light to the canopy. Harvest time for the Sauvignon Blanc usually extends from late August to mid September by making multiple passes through the vineyard. The result is a showcase of diverse fruit characteristics this classic grape variety is known to exhibit.
TENCH VINEYARD (BUONCRISTIANI)
When someone speaks of the Oakville AVA, one automatically thinks of Cabernet Sauvignon. Planted in 1998, this older cane-pruned block may be one of the very best Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in the Napa Valley period!! Planted down in the lower bench of this east side rock pile, these older vines give us tremendous ripeness and true varietal character. Summer white peach, orange blossom and lemon/lime, with just a hint of green apple define the character of these older vines. Barrel fermented in 50% new French oak and 50% neutral barrels.
WINDY FLATS VINEYARDS (BUONCRISTIANI)
Located in the lower eastern hills of Napa, this is our southernmost vineyard component for Sauvignon Blanc. Three Clones; musque, clone #7 and clone #1 were hand-picked together and fermented entirely in tank until dry. Post fermentation, we barrel aged in neutral French oak for seven months. This incredible site provides us with fresh lime, kiwi, a touch of pink grapefruit and brilliant acidity.
Pipestone Vineyard (San Liege)
Appellation: Paso Robles
Notes: Located deep in the hills of Westside Paso Robles, Pipestone is farmed sustainably and organically, and may be the only vineyard in California managed and built according to the ancient Chinese principles of Feng Shui (wind and water). Using solar power and draft horses to minimize soil structure damage from heavy machinery, Pipestone Vineyard has a zero-landfill program and is a Certified Wildlife Habitat.
Alta Colina Vineyard (Sans Liege)
Appelation: Templeton Gap (Paso Robles)
Notes: Owned and farmed by the Tillman Family, Alta Colina is a unique, high-elevation site in the Templeton Gap that spans from 1600 - 1780 feet above sea level. Planted mostly to a suite of Rhone varietals, the site is composed of predominantly calcareous and loam-based soils that are high in drainage, encouraging vine vigor. The property is farmed with minimal inference, typically seeing only 4 passes each vintage for shoot thinning, canopy adjustments and fertilization. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean sees cool morning and afternoon fog on the property, that helps facilitate a long growing season, ideal for the ripening of fruit.
Derby Westside Vineyard (Sans Liege)
Appellation: Templeton Gap (Paso Robles)
Notes: This vineyard was originally planted to 34 acres of Rhone varietals in 1998. In the Templeton Gap, along the famed Highway 46 West corridor in Paso Robles, Derby Westside enjoys warm, dry days followed by cooling off-shore breezes beginning in the mid-afternoon. The soil is predominantly Nacimiento series, consisting of moderately deep, well-drained soils that formed in material weathered from calcareous shale and sandstone.
RBZ Vineyard (Sans Liege)
Appellation: El Pomar, Templeton (Paso Robles)
Notes: Located just south of Paso Robles in the El Pomar region, RBZ is an 80 acre site that serves as the mother block of cuttings for Sunridge Nursery, one of the state’s best propagators of grape vines. The vineyard is spread out over several rolling hills with elevations of up to 700 feet above sea level. The soils are linne calodo series, comprised of mineral-rich, recessed sea bed, pebbles and a variety of clays and loams, that allow for diverse plantings of Rhone, Bordeaux and Italian varietals. Weather at the site is a bit less marine-influenced than locations just a couple miles west, meaning less fog and slightly warmer days than the Templeton Gap, but high temperature swings day-to-night, indicative of the region, prevail at RBZ, as well. Fruit from the property is concentrated, bold in fruit, but never picked for extreme ripeness, remaining balanced in acidity and tannins.
Laetitia “Les Galets” Vineyard (Sans Leige)
Appellation: Arroyo Grande Valley
Notes: Located only 4 miles from the Pacific Ocean, in one of the coolest climates of any wine growing region in the state, Les Galets is a truly unique location for California Syrah production. South-facing hillside blocks of calcareous and volcanic soils offer high drainage, while the constant marine influence, cold nights and warm afternoons, combine to promote Syrah that is low-cropped, spicy, intense in dark fruit, yet graceful and structured in acidity. The majority of plantings around the Syrah blocks at the site are to Pinot Noir, which should give some indication of the extremity of cool-climate, humid influence at the vineyard. Very few winemakers have access to the sparse plantings of Syrah from Les Galets, and I feel fortunate to count myself as one.
Alta Mesa Vineyard (Sans Liege)
Appellation: Santa Barbara County
Notes: Located in eastern Santa Barbara County in the Cuyama Valley, Alta Mesa Vineyard sits perched above Barnwood Vineyards at 3200 feet in elevation. As the crow flies, Alta Mesa is approximately 30 miles over the hills from Santa Barbara. The soils consist of decomposed granite and clay loam with large rocks of schist, quartzite, basalt, and gneiss. There is a massive swing of daily temperatures that benefit the long growing season, most often a 40 -50°F difference between day and night. The site is a favorite of legendary producers like Sine Qua Non, The Ojai Vineyard and Qupé.
Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyards (Sans Liege)
Appellation: Santa Barbara County
Notes: This site is a pioneering effort in the development of high elevation vineyards in Santa Barbara County. At 3,200 feet above sea-level, the vineyards are planted in well-drained soils that are particularly well-suited to viticulture, and consist primarily of fine, sandy loam. The Cuyama Valley climate has consistently warm days with gentle breezes created by continental air masses late in the afternoon, and cold nights due to weak down-valley breezes. With a temperature that can vary as much as 50 degrees in one day, the climate is particularly well suited to Bordeaux and Rhone varietals.
Bien Nacido Vineyard (Sans Liege)
Appellation: Santa Maria Valley (Santa Barbara County)
Notes: One of the longest-planted sites in Santa Barbara County, Bien Nacido is a name synonymous with quality across the work of dozens of the best winemakers in America. The site is heavily marine-influenced and cooler in day-time temperatures than most locations on the Central Coast. Planted predominantly to several clones of Rhone and Burgundian varietals, the property has an incredibly eclectic soil profile, featuring Chamise, Shedd, Elder, Los Osos, Mocho, Pleasanton and Sorrento series. Valley floor blocks, steep hillside plantings and plateaus are exploited by one of the most talented vineyard managers in California, and various blocks of the site are custom-farmed each vintage to meet the needs of winemakers who buy its fruit. Year in and out, Bien Nacido a source of consistently high quality grapes.
Watch Hill Vineyard (Sans Liege)
Appellation: Los Alamos Valley (Santa Barbara County)
Notes: Located approximately half-way between Santa Maria and Buellton, Watch Hill is one of the top vineyards in the Los Alamos Valley. The highly nutrient-poor soils of the region are actually a boon to vigorous varietals like Syrah and Grenache, which both excel in the property’s sandy and clay-based soils. The growing season is fairly long, seeing harvests take place typically near the end of October or in to November, and temperatures swing around 40F from day to night. An extremely high-drainage site, most plantings are on the valley floor to encourage access to the water table.
Larner Vineyard (Sans Liege)
Appellation: Santa Ynez Valley
Notes: The Larner Vineyard is acknowledged as one of the top vineyards on the Central Coast, and one of the best vineyards for Rhone varietal growth in America. UC Davis graduate Michael Larner farms the property with his family, and since 2001, they have contributed fruit to various point-score grabbing efforts from multiple winemakers. Located in the western-most reaches of the AVA, Larner is one of the coldest and most heavily marine-influenced properties in Santa Ynez Valley, and features a diverse soil series of decomposed granite, gneiss, schist, basalt and clay loam. Canopies are adjusted in several hand-passes throughout the growing season to promote very low yields of intensely concentrated fruit. Elevations reach 3,200 feet above sea level and clones are carefully selected to meet the profiles of the various blocks at the property. A telling detail of Larner, perhaps, is that Robert Parker loves wines produced from its fruit so much, he thinks the vineyard “would merit Grand Cru status in France.” | agronomy |

LEVELLING THE FIELD
This work is very important to smooth the field. The longitudinal slope and the croosfall are very dangerus: the first one beause rain can erode the soil while the second one is very dangerous for the tractor that can turn over.
TRENCHING AND SCREENING
These two works are very important for the stucture of the soil. The bulldozer moves the earth up and down for levelling it, but this work makes the soil too hard. Then the ripper crashes the soil 1,5 metres deep (this work is calledtrencing the soil) and the escavator by its rab makes the soil soft taking away the stones (this work is called screening). Now the soil is ready for planting the vines.
Finally the vineyard
After the grapes installation (one year) it is necessary to plant the stakes in the rows of grapes:
The wires are attached at the stakes and the rows (filare) are complete. Now the grapes have everything to grow and produce. | agronomy |

It takes careful planning, dedication, maintenance and not to mention time. A lot of Albertans don’t see the value in planting and growing their own food, because we have such a short growing season.
While this may be true there are some tricks that will help you grow an abundance of fresh fruit
and vegetables even when a
short growing season threatens your prospects.
The ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen team
ATCO Blue Flame Kitchen’s team is filled with enthusiastic gardeners, with true passion for the garden to table concept. We spoke to chef instructor and avid gardener Jessica Willott who was happy to provide us with some tips to have the vegetable garden of your dreams in your own Albertan backyard.
- Plan ahead – research what grows in your zone. Check out Plant Maps, they use historical climate data and cover all of Alberta, which ranges from Zone 2a to 5b. Once you know your zone, visit Gardening Canada and sort by zone to help determine what grows well.
- Understand your growing season – most seed packets will say when to start them inside and when to plant them outdoors. Start more delicate herbs inside and keep them inside for 3-4 weeks before planting them in the garden. Delicate plants like thyme, basil, parsley, rosemary, dill, kale, arugula, mixed lettuces, nasturtiums (edible flowers), and beet greens should be started indoors due to our cooler climate.
- Plan your storage method and what you plan to do with your surplus – Storing herbs is simple. Tie them in a bundle and hang them to dry, or put them in a dehydrator. You can also make pesto, or freeze them by pureeing with olive oil and portioning into in ice cube trays, this way they are easy to add to soups or pasta. You can also preserve your bounty by canning or preserving. For tested methods on preserving, visit our Preserving How-to page.
- Planting – Whether you are starting your crops indoors or outdoors make sure you have moist soil and a sunny warm place. If you are starting your crops indoors, we suggest keeping them indoors for 3-4 weeks until they are hearty enough to survive outside.
- Water once a day or every couple of days depending on your location.
- Use a little bit of fertilizer, or bone meal – an organic alternative.
- Pull out weeds around your crops regularly.
- If your garden is exposed, you may need to use netting to keep bugs, birds, and rodents at bay. Sprinkling cayenne pepper around your crops is also a great trick.
- Trim or prune your plants if they grow too big or get too heavy.
- Ensure your crops have proper sunlight exposure.
Whatever you choose to plant in your garden, we hope these tips help you achieve your goals and the vegetable garden of your dreams!
- Harvesting – try and harvest everything before the first frost. Keep carrots, potatoes, and onions in a dry, dark cool place so they last longer.
- Discover your plants growing companions – Many plants grow better when they are planted next to a growing companion, for example basil and parsley grow well together because they both love moisture. To learn more about growing companions, check out Gardening Know How’s website.
- Getting the garden ready for next year – scoop up any bulbs that you can save for the following year and store them in a dry,temperate place. Remember if you leave them in the ground, they will likely die. Pull out anything that is dying and clean out your garden for next year. Also be sure to remove the watering handle from your hose and store your gardening tools properly and your seeds in a dry place. Some herbs might survive if you transplant them indoors. | agronomy |

The ugly truth is that we throw one-third, or 40%, of the food we produce.
Only 1.3% of the world’s water is fresh water. We use 70% of that to produce food, and then we go ahead and throw 40% away.
We grow and produce food for 10 billion people, but of the global population of seven billion, only six billion get adequate food; the remaining one billion are malnourished.
The food we throw away creates a mountain of waste every year – roughly 1.3 billion metric tonnes.
The cost of food loss and food wastage is approximately USD 2.6 trillion.
The embodied carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in food wastage alone represent 3.3 billion metric tonnes. That’s the total amount of energy that goes to produce the food we never eat, including fuel for tractors used for planting and harvesting, electricity for water pumps in the field, the power for processing and packaging facilities and more.
If food wastage were a country by itself, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases behind China and the United States.
Welcome to the sordid world of food wastage, as enumerated by John Mandyck, the Chief Sustainability Officer of United Technologies Corporation (UTC) and the co-author of the book, Food Foolish (see related interview on page 32).
In November 2015, Mandyck had presented the facts to a stunned audience that had gathered for UTC’s Distinguished Lecture Series in Abu Dhabi. In early December 2015 – the 2nd and the 3rd, to be precise – he presented them at the World Cold Chain Summit in Singapore, this time to an audience of over 120 delegates from 35 countries, which included stakeholders who are specifically fighting hard to reduce, if not eliminate, food wastage and food loss around the world; the effect he had on them was no less stunning.
Over the course of two days, other speakers at the Summit, an event produced by Carrier, expressed themselves in vivid detail, the anguish in their voice and the eagerness to set things right not hard to detect.
One of them was Dr Joseph Mpagalile, from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), who, as if reinforcing Mandyck’s words, spoke of how 795 million people are malnourished globally. “Sadly, the food that is produced could have helped these people, but unfortunately it is wasted, so we need to take serious steps to address this,” he said. Dr Mpagalile is the Agro-industry Officer (Logistic and Value Addition).
Among the serious steps, perhaps the most effective is a robust cold chain. As Mandyck put it: “Vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs, fish and seafood represent more than 50% of the food we waste, and all these have one thing in common – we can extend their life through refrigeration.” Added David Appel, the President of Carrier Transicold: “With cold chain technology, we can reduce food waste, we can feed more people. Today, this technology is readily available in developed countries, and we are working to make it available in developing countries.”
Just how much the positive impact of refrigeration is, was brought home by Didier Coulomb, the Director of the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR), when he said that 23% of food losses is caused by a lack of refrigeration, versus nine per cent in developed countries. By way of sharing the effectiveness of refrigeration, he spoke of how refrigerated capacity storage was 10-fold in developed countries. Pascal Chapot of Nestle further drove home the value of refrigeration in reducing food loss when he described how in Pakistan, which is categorised as a developing country, Nestle has established a dairy-related cold chain. “In 2010, we lost 365 tonnes of milk in a single district in Pakistan,” Chapot said. “In 2013, it went down to 94 tonnes, and still there is improvement potential.”
Chapot spoke with passion about preserving milk through protecting them from thermal abuse, whereas, Judith Evans from London South Bank University spoke of how extending product life by a single day could have a profound effect on the high levels of food that are wasted. She explained how storage lives could be extended for greater than a day, if the average domestic refrigerator temperature of 7 degrees C was reduced to 4 degrees C.
Sensors are becoming cheaper, and when they become cheaper than the cardboard box they come in, we will find sensors everywhere
In a broader context, the challenge in reducing the temperature, though, is the impact on energy use. Globally speaking, the aim of facility managers working in buildings has been to increase the set point temperature to at least 24 degrees C in a bid to reduce energy consumption through air conditioning. Refrigeration, though, is a different kettle of fish, especially in the context of preservation of thermally sensitive food products; the temperature cannot be increased without attracting the ire of food safety regulators, which limits the scope for refrigeration engineers to eke out better energy efficiencies. So, a case for reducing the temperature below the required bare minimum, in order to increase the shelf life and, thus, reduce food wastage, is not likely to go down well with the engineers. The Singapore Summit reawakened the conundrum of the need for reducing food wastage and, at the same time, of ensuring the need for energy efficiency from economic and environmental perspectives.
To add to the complexity, food wastage is not merely an environmental issue but also an economic issue, with several shades of social exploitation. As a member of the audience pointed out, small farmers in some pockets of India were forced to make a distress sale, owing to lack of facilities to preserve thermally sensitive produce, a fact exploited by middlemen. “What consumers paid to the middlemen, the member of the audience said, was far more than what the middlemen paid to the farmers.”
Just for the record
The terms, ‘food wastage’ and ‘food loss’ are often interchangeably used, but they could not be more different. According to FAO, food wastage is when food moves through the supply chain and is fit for consumption but is not consumed and is discarded owing to negligence or conscious decision. Food loss, on the other hand, pertains to the food that is spilt, spoilt, lost or incurs a reduction in quality. It is the unintended result of the process or the institutional/legal framework.
The plight of the farmers, the member of the audience added, had attracted the attention of the refrigeration community in the country, and they had responded by offering low-cost intervention in the form of sea water evaporative cooling, as a result of which the farm produce was able to remain fresh for eight to 10 days and take the middlemen out of the equation.
Speaking in a different context – Perkins Cycle – Andy Pearson, the Group Engineering Director at UK-headquartered Star Refrigeration drew attention to an almost 30% wastage of energy in cold stores. Saying that he wanted to get to at least the 15% mark, he spoke of the need for focusing on building better structures. “We ought to reduce the heat load of a building through better construction,” Pearson said. “Thus, instead of having 5,000 kW of refrigeration, we can go for 2,000 kW, say.”
To improve the cold chain, Pearson called for greater government support, international cooperation, simpler systems, better monitors, better metrics, product development, operator training and system integration. “We need to make things easier to use,” he said.
“Sensors are becoming cheaper, and when they become cheaper than the cardboard box they come in, we will find sensors everywhere.”
The Summit reawakened the conundrum of the need for reducing food wastage and, at the same time, of ensuring energy efficiency
Dr Arthur Bamunuarachchi from the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in Sri Lanka called for solar intervention for cold chain to be considered for stationery and mobile units. Pointing to the many countries on either side of the Equator that lack grid energy and, as a result of which, face the constant risk of spoilage of food and medicines, Dr Bamunuarachchi said solar power was a no-brainer, especially considering the fact that the countries receive plenty of sunlight.
Pearson supported the call for the use of solar energy but recommended that the efficiency of solar panels be studied and also their robustness in terms of payback period. “If designed for 10 years, you don’t want a thunderstorm to knock them off in two years’ time,” he said. “At the same time, there are already 20 countries in the world where the price of solar is cheaper than, or is at par with, conventional energy, so there is no excuse not to improve the technology.”
The role of transport refrigeration also came under the Summit’s spotlight. Mark Mitchell, the Founder and Chairman of SuperCool Asia Pacific, in Australia, characterised the truck as a critical control point for the entire journey. Food loss reduction, he said, could be achieved by dramatically improving the transport cold chain.
Mitchell described building a thermally insulated body as a common need. “Air tightness is a big aspect, but do we build an air-tight truck?” he asked. “Nah! If you stop 10 trucks in a row, only one might be okay.
He bemoaned the lack of structure in the industry when it came to following standards. “We have all the standards, but they are poorly implemented,” he said. “The truck needs to be fit-for-purpose. ATP and other standards prescribe fit-for-purpose and are based on such questions as ‘what is it going to be transporting’, ‘how many times will the doors be opened’, etc. Process, vehicle body building and refrigeration need to come together to ensure improvement in the cold chain to prevent food loss.”

The Hakataramea Sustainability Collective (HSC) is a community driven platform, which helps with the protection and enhancement of the Hakataramea Valley environment by promoting profitable and sustainable farming practices and supporting our community to thrive.
Innovative thinking, knowledge sharing, and community spirit are strong values within the Hakataramea Valley. HSC provides a platform from which to amplify these values through the sharing of ideas, concerns, and opportunities in an open forum.
Thanks to the community enthusiasm, passionate volunteers, local business backing and guidance from supporting organisations, we have managed to achieve the following, with plenty more to come:
- Establishment of a recreation area approx. 1km upstream from the Hakataramea highway bridge. This includes river access and large picnic area with BBQ and a covered picnic table.
- We have run well-attended field days and workshops to educate locals about sustainable farming practices to foster the long-term viability of the Valley’s farming businesses. Topics have included challenging thinking on the future of farming in the Valley, management of weeds and pests and animal feed and health.
- We work closely with industry organisations to invite learning and wellbeing opportunities into the area. And have benefited from the B+LNZ water and carbon workshops, and a social gathering, which was a collaborative effort thanks to a number of organisations. | agronomy |

He was finally able to take a little time and get everything out and get it plowed. Our potatoes this year were mostly terrible but the carrots and beets did great … sort of the way it goes actually, when something isn’t great, something else is and we never know until the end of the season. After a little power washing the beets and carrots were put to rest in the basement.
First though after the washing, the tops of the carrots were cut off … you know with a table full of toys.
And … there were helpers … hence the toys.
After the tops are chopped off then they are layered in moist sand.
Goodnight carrots and beets … we’ll be enjoying you all winter long. | agronomy |

Most of the houses don’t prefer to make things made up of onion or garlic during the Navratras.
The onion price has gone up to Rs 70 per kg in the retail market. Also, the price of potato has gone up to Rs 50-60 per kg in the retail market.
“On Thursday, the wholesale price of onion ranged from Rs 40-60 per kg, which was Rs 25-40 per kg over a week ago,” said Srikant Mishra of Azadpur Union Traders Association.
The price of onions and other vegetables has increased because the supply chain from the farms was severely affected due to rains.
“Our onion, soybean, and corn were wasted due to rainfall. The farmers have paid the price of their labour. The price hike of onions was due to climatic conditions and events of the past months,” a farmer told ANI. | agronomy |

One of my goals here on the blog is to provide you with the best information, to help you grow great flowers and hopefully dispel the notion that success is only possible for professionals. DO tamp down the soil into your containers or cell packs. Then pack it down a teeny bit more. I remember mangling a whole mess of baby snapdragons because I had been sloppy about filling the flats with the soil. When it came time to transplant, instead of popping the plants out with a nice solid chunk of soil attached, the soil separated from the roots and I ended up with a crumbly mess and traumatized plants. In the rush to get growing, it is easy to fall into the trap of starting all your seeds all at once.

Starting with the definition of what leggy plants are, leggy plants can appear scraggly, weak, floppy, and have a yellow or white colored stem. Leggy indoor plants are struggling to flourish and crave a little more tender love and care to get them growing on a healthier path. Having leggy indoor plants is a common problem among plant caretakers, but luckily there are easy remedies for the causes. This article will explain the cause of leggy plants, how to fix the issues at the root of the problem with simple maintenance and preventing it from happening again in the future.
A lot of gardeners have indoor plants that will at some point struggle with looking brittle and unruly. Whether your plants are flowery and add color to your space or growing vegetables indoors , any type of plant can suffer from a dull appearance and need some tender love and care. Most of the issues causing indoor plants to have a leggy appearance are quickly remedy with proper maintenance. The first step is learning what causes leggy plants and then discovering how to breathe life back into your weak plants.
Sometimes no matter what you do and how much care and maintenance plants get, leggy weak stems are unavoidable. However, knowing the basics and what to do to prevent it as much as possible is a good start. When growing new indoor plants, it is best to prepare and lay the groundwork from the start. Starting with a strong beginning is tremendous but continue monitoring sunlight, temperature settings, soil and nutrition, weak stems, and avoid over or under-watering.
Indoor plants, even the leggy indoor plants, need love to survive as much as they need nutrition , light, warmth. Reading about everything necessary to care for and maintain plants can be overwhelming at the very least. Focus on proper care from the time they come indoors, and they will quickly be thriving.
Try not to get sucked into everything that needs to be done and remember to cherish the gift of having plants. Every plant has different requirements to grow. Sunlight hours needed will vary from 8 to 20 hours per day, and temperatures can vary between 40 to 80 degrees depending on the life cycle and time of day for your plant. To become a caretaker to an indoor plant, research what that plant type requires to survive happy and healthy.
Is the plant moist or soggy? Is water puddling in the drip tray underneath? Too much water can cause plant rot, leggy plants and become a breeding ground for bacteria and disease that will destroy your plant. If concerned a plant has too much water, find fresh soil and repot it.
After changing the potting soil, pay close attention to how much watering your type of plant actually needs. Starting new can be beneficial for plants and their caretakers. Pruning, also known as trimming or pinching, removes weak, dead, yellow, or overcrowded plant areas.
Pinching, trimming, or pruning, whatever you prefer to call it, will not cause a plant to die. Instead, it encourages more substantial, fuller regrowth. Leggy indoor plants are commonly caused by poor temperature control, under or over watering, weak lighting conditions, or needing a trim to clean up their appearance. Try artificial lighting, temperature regulation, and trimming to solve most leggy plant issues.
However, some plants need a little more, such as replacing potting soil and carefully monitoring watering amounts. A leggy plant has a scraggly, weak, sometimes yellow appearance in areas. Leggy plants are brittle and have thin stems. When looking at a plant, if you feel it just looks like a mess, more than likely, it is the definition of leggy.
Simple maintenance tips and tricks can bring a leggy plant back to life, giving it a luscious, green, thriving look all strive to achieve. Facebook Pinterest. By Indoor Gardening September 1,Share on facebook Facebook. Share on twitter Twitter. Share on pinterest Pinterest.

Nicolaus critterologist January 29,Are your peppers more poky than perky? Is your basil more balky than bouncy? Do you wish your seeds would speedily sprout into sturdy seedlings? Bottom heat could be the answer. The seed catalogs piling up by your easy chair tout the wonders of seedling heat mats and they are right! Heat mats can produce remarkable results.

Heated propagators will ensure that your seeds or cuttings have a constant steady temperature. This results in faster and even germination or more reliable rooting. Head gardener at Stockton Bury, Tamsin Westhorpe, puts a selection through their paces and recommends some of the best heated propagator options. Heated propagators also allow you to extend the sowing season. They can be used to help cuttings strike, and you can utilise the mats to overwinter tender specimens. In this trial, I have compared simple heat mats that come with no trays or lids, trays that also come with nothing else, and complete windowsill kits. Some are not suitable for the home, but only practical for an unheated greenhouse. To be safe, use a residual circuit breaker with all propagators. For safe storage, keep your propagator in a shed or garage rather than in a greenhouse where water is used nearly all year. This neat unit — the Super 7 Windowsill Electric Propagator — is my top pick.

For many gardeners, browsing through plants in a garden center is a favorite spring pastime, but some find that bedding plants can be pricey and only come in limited varieties. Starting seeds indoors a few weeks before transplanting them in the garden saves money and allows gardeners to grow many varieties, but some seeds are slow to sprout at room temperature. Heat mats are specifically designed to gently increase the temperature of the seed-starting medium and are a boon to home gardeners. When placed beneath seed trays, heat mats offer gentle warmth—just enough heat to mimic the temperature of outdoor soil on a sunny spring day. This heat encourages seeds to sprout.
Make your indoor plant propagation more successful with the right tools. Whether you're propagating seeds or cuttings, most plants sprout and grow quickly under bright light and surrounded by warmth. A heat mat for indoor plants and a grow light provide these conditions artificially when the indoor environment is less than ideal for plant health. Learn the key differences between the two before purchasing, because both are not always necessary. Heat and light encourage plants to grow in very different ways.
all-audio.pro offers plant heat mat products. A wide variety of plant heat mat options Indoor Greenhouse Heat Mat For Plants Or Seedling.
Heat mats are designed to be on 24 hours a day and keep flats of soil or pots of rooting cuttings at a constant temperature. They are also made to withstand moist situations and occasional splashing of water. Heat mats are especially useful for starting seeds of plants that like warm temperatures such as peppers and basil. There are mats made to fit one to four trays.

Rice tungro disease (RTD) consists of a spherical virus (RTSV) and a bacilliform virus (RTBV) and the disease is a significant yield constraint in rice-growing areas of South and Southeast Asia.
Disease symptoms are caused largely by infection by the rice tungro bacilliform virus Author: Samuel S. Gnanamanickam. The disease complex is associated with rice tungro baciliform virus (RTBV) and rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV).
RTBV cannot be transmitted by leafhoppers unless RTSV is present. Insects could acquire the virus from any part of the infected plant. After acquiring the virus, the vector can immediately transmit to the plants. RTBV does not occur as an independent disease, but is associated with its helper virus Rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV).
Together they cause rice tungro disease. RTBV causes the tungro symptoms, while RTSV does not cause any distinct symptoms except mild plant stunting.
However, it does enhance the symptoms caused by RTBV (Hibino et al., ). How is tungro disease initiated in the field.

The symptoms exhibited by plants affected by tungro, the typical yellow. An epidemiological model for tungro, a vector-born virus disease of rice, developed. • The model consisting of GLH population module and tungro virus infection module.
• The model successfully validated in a good agreement with observed incidence data. • Enabling a seasonal rice disease risk prediction using seasonal climate : Kwang-Hyung Kim, Avelino D.

Rice tungro, which means “degenerated growth” in a Philippine dialect, is a devastating disease caused by coinfection with two morphologically and genetically different viruses, Rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV) and Rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV), depicted in Fig. The viruses are common in mixed infections in South and South East Asia where they cause .Weed Host Range of Rice Tungro virus disease some of the infected host plants.
Rice is the preferred host of leafhopper vector i.e., N. virescens although it feeds on other alternate hosts like Eleusine indica, Cynodon dactylon and Cyperus rotundus. Green leafhopper can also feed on a number of graminaceous.therefore, difficult to control (Ou, ). Rice tungro is a composite disease caused by a bacilliform DNA pararetro virus (rice tungro bacilliform virus, RTBV) and a spherical RNA plant picorna virus (rice tungro spherical virus, RTSV) leading to yellow-orange discoloration and stunting of the infected plants (Muralidharan.

I’m a junior in the Global Resource Systems program at ISU and I am doing an internship in the city of Tokmok (pop. 50,000), which started last May. My name is Jesse Lang, but recently I’ve gone by the name Дима. I am volunteering for the Tian Shan Mission Society, which is assisting farmers in the region by supplying quality soybean seed and agronomy consulting. My area of study at ISU is agronomy, and the classes I have taken have helped me for when I had to identify insect pests and weeds that were infesting the fields here. My role over the summer was to act as the liaison between professional agronomists in the States and the farmers they are advising in Kyrgyzstan.
The first two months of my stay, I was studying the Russian language full-time at a local university. I was able to practice with local students, who taught me the culture of Central Asia- like how I shouldn’t have walked into their kitchen with my shoes on! Thankfully, the people I have met have been kind and patient with me as I learn about life here. At harvest time, I was responsible for receiving locally harvested soybeans that will be cleaned and stored for next season’s seed. The crew of guys I was working with represented five different nations, and the only common language was Russian, so I had a plenty of opportunity to develop my Russian communication.
I will never forget one farmer here, named Jinbo. He came out of retirement to put his granddaughters through school. He planted soybeans because he wanted to do the best that he could for his girls. When I visited him in his fields, he shared a melon from his garden with my co-worker and me, and asked us what problems he will likely face if he continues to plant only soybeans in his fields. I was humbled by the hard work this man had put into his farm, and I was proud to be an agronomy student that day. I am excited to return and finish my studies at ISU, and someday be an agronomist who facilitates the noble efforts of men and women like Jinbo. | agronomy |

Get ready for The News-Herald’s 15th annual fall plant exchange.
Twice a year, gardening experts, those new to gardening and everyone in between meet up to trade plants, swap success stories and share stories of lessons learned the hard way.
This year’s fall plant exchange runs from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Sept. 21, rain or shine, at the newspaper’s Southgate office, One Heritage Place.
In addition to swapping plants, attendees also can enter to win door prizes.
After dividing plants, pot them, label them and head to the exchange.
Many participants make signs listing their plant “haves” and “wants.” Wagons, garden carts or just about anything on wheels are used to transport plants. Some people open their trunks or tailgates and trade directly from their vehicles.
New gardeners just starting out can pick up something new in the exchange’s free area, where traders drop off their leftover plant material for new owners.
Selling of plants is not allowed.
For those who are new to gardening or have never attended the exchange, here are a few tips:
• Dig and divide your perennials. Pot them up and label each container. Old cottage cheese or yogurt containers make good pots for plant exchanges.
• Make a sign on poster board or cardboard listing what new plants you are looking for.
• Perennial reference books are helpful tools at plant swaps.
• New gardeners with nothing to trade are welcome and nearly always go home with something to plant anyway. A “free table” will be at the exchange, so you can help yourself to plants there.
• Veteran traders should come willing to share advice and tips.
• Do not bring diseased or invasive plants. If you’re not sure what it is, leave it at home. | agronomy |

Pay less in taxes.
Dan and Sarah Miller
More and more farmers are considering gifts of grain to fulfill their charitable intentions.
When a farmer delivers grain to market and transfers ownership to a charity, they get greater tax savings than if they sell the commodity and then write a check from the proceeds.
The Nebraska Community Foundation makes it easy for ag producers to make charitable donations.
Dan and Sarah Miller made a five-year pledge of gifts of grain to the Shickley Community Foundation Fund. Dan is a former member of the Fund, and he says that other members are making similar pledges.
“Giving bushels of corn instead of dollars allows us to make a larger gift to our community fund, because we can still deduct all our production costs on our income taxes. It’s a really smart way to give back,” Miller said.
A producer should consult with their tax advisor to determine whether a gift of grain is appropriate for their tax situation. Then call the Nebraska Community Foundation, because certain steps are required to ensure the intended tax benefits. It is important that the grain is delivered but not sold. Instead, ownership is transferred to NCF for the benefit of an NCF affiliated fund. NCF will communicate directly with the grain elevator with instructions to sell the grain and disburse the proceeds.

Trees are great when it comes to reducing pollution. Both ornamental and fruit trees pump out oxygen and filter harmful pollutants in the air.
Planting and growing trees is easier than you may think. If you don’t have a lot of space available, or maybe just a terrace, you can still grow trees.
Of course, you have to choose the trees you want to grow. Many of us who have limited space available think that we can only grow ornamental trees. However, thanks to new exciting varieties of apple trees, there is no reason why you can’t turn your small patch into a productive haven.
What Are The Benefits of Growing Fruit Trees?
The main benefit of growing fruit trees such as apple trees, is that you can enjoy the fruits of your labour. Apples are easy to turn into apple based products including pies and apple sauce. Nothing is easier than making your own apple butter. All you need is a sweet apple and cinnamon. Place in a slow-cooker and about eight hours later you have a delicious apple butter.
Fruit trees are great for attracting pollinators. The UK bee population has once again started to thrive since more of us started to plant fruit trees in our garden.
Where Can I Buy Fruit Trees?
You will find fruit trees for sale in your local garden centre. The only problem is that many of the fruit trees you find in the garden centre, are what is best called run of the mill varieties.
When you would like to grow something different, it is a good idea to contact a specialist grower. They will talk you through the different varieties of fruit trees for sale and give you advice on which trees will do well in your area. For instance, you may find that a grower is much more likely to have what is often called heritage varieties.
What are heritage fruit trees? They are varieties of fruit trees that are rare. Many of them have been around for a long time and gone out of fashion. The trend is now for bringing them back again. However, you are not very likely to find them in your local garden centre.
Planting fruit trees in your garden is a great way of improving the biodiversity. If we all planted a fruit tree in our garden or on our terrace, we would be doing something towards combating climate change. | agronomy |

The premium apples native to Kashmir are considered one of the best quality apples harvested mainly in the months of September and October. Mir Syed Shahid Ahmed Kamili, president of the Federation Chambers of Industries, Kashmir, said India ranked seventh in apple production in the world. “Kashmir boasts of 80 per cent of the apple production in India. We thank India as we are getting heavy subsidies and support to promote the export of Kashmiri products,” he said. Al Maya Group has more than 50 supermarkets in the GCC members-Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. | agronomy |

Your garden is a labor of love, a space that brings joy and relaxation.
But, like any cherished space, it’s susceptible to unwanted guests — pests.
Understanding when to seek professional help is crucial to maintain the health and beauty of your garden.
Read on – Pest Infestations: When to Seek Professional Help for Your Garden
Recognizing common garden pests can help you take early action. Some of these pests include:
Several signs indicate a pest infestation in your garden:
While some pests can be controlled with DIY measures, certain situations warrant professional pest control:
Certain practices can deter pests, like regular garden cleaning, proper watering and fertilizing, and using plant varieties resistant to pests.
However, prevention isn’t always possible, and professional help may be required.
DIY methods can be effective for small infestations or specific pests.
However, professional pest control is usually more effective for large infestations or persistent pests.
A weekly inspection of your garden is a good habit. This lets you detect and address any pest issue early, preventing severe damage.
While some pests are easy to control, others have complicated life cycles and survival mechanisms that can make DIY efforts frustrating and futile.
Professional pest control services come in handy in these situations due to several reasons:
Professionals possess extensive knowledge about various pests, their behaviors, and their weaknesses.
This expertise allows them to accurately identify the pest and choose the most effective control methods.
Professional pest control goes beyond just treating pests. It also includes assessing your garden, identifying pest entry points, and advising on preventing future infestations.
Pesticides can be harmful if misused. Professionals are trained in the safe use of pesticides, ensuring that your garden, pets, and family are safe during and after treatment.
Professional pest control aims for long-term solutions rather than quick fixes.
By addressing the root cause of the infestation, professionals can provide lasting relief from pests.
Professional pest control involves thoroughly inspecting your garden, identifying the pests, treatment using appropriate control measures, and providing guidance on preventing future infestations.
Reputable pest control services prioritize safety. They use EPA-approved pesticides and apply them correctly to ensure the safety of your garden, pets, and family.
While it’s impossible to guarantee an utterly pest-free garden forever, professional pest control significantly reduces pest populations and provides guidance to help prevent future infestations.
Taking proactive steps can minimize the likelihood of a pest infestation in your garden. Here are some tips:
Not all creatures are harmful to your garden. Many insects and animals, like ladybugs, spiders, and birds, are natural predators of pests.
Encourage these allies by planting varieties they prefer and providing habitats for them.
Organic mulches like straw or wood chips can deter certain pests and improve your soil’s health.
Debris and fallen leaves can provide shelter for pests. Regularly cleaning your garden can remove these potential habitats.
Planting a variety of flowering plants can attract beneficial insects. These insects often feed on nectar and pollen while not hunting pests.
Crop rotation plans can vary based on the specific plants in your garden. Generally, try not to plant the same family in the exact location two seasons in a row.
While mulch can deter certain pests, it can also attract others if it’s too thick or too close to plant stems.
Keep mulch about 2-3 inches deep and at least an inch away from plant stems to prevent this.
Professional pest control is a valuable ally when it comes to maintaining a beautiful and healthy garden.
Here’s why you should consider us for your pest control needs:
With years of industry experience, we possess deep knowledge of various pests, their life cycles, and the most effective control methods.
Our team can accurately diagnose your garden’s issues and devise a tailored treatment plan.
Our services go beyond mere treatment. We offer comprehensive solutions, including garden inspection, pest treatment, and preventive measures, to ensure you enjoy a pest-free garden long-term.

Farmer John and his hard working crew make it possible for local restaurants, schools and lucky residents of Orcas Island to enjoy the bounty of Maple Rock Farm.
Every week I look forward to receiving an email update from Farmer John about the happenings on the farm and thought I should share them with you. Not only do they make you smile, they also inspire . . .
Have a look through his emails and you will see the love, dedication and pride Farmer John takes when it comes to Maple Rock Farm.

I forgot about the corn! We will have corn today. What we grow is a little different than what you’ll see anywhere else. This is grown from seed we obtained fro Sidney Coffelt years ago. I think its called Hookers Black. It’s an heirloom open pollinated variety. It makes a small ear and is technically a drying corn but is very sweet at its current stage. We grow this because we are dedicated to keeping the strain alive, especially these days when almost all of the corn on the market is GMO.
On that subject I would like to urge the importance of the upcoming vote on the GMO issue in SJC. It’s pretty cutting edge that we have this on the ballot and can vote to keep GMO crops from being knowingly grown here and crossing with our important heirloom varieties. Mrf is in full support of this issue and we urge all to vote in favor of it.
September 26, 2012
Good morning everyone, I hope this finds you all well. Ding dang how bout this weather! The tomatoes are just loving it. We have literally hundreds of pounds harvested and waiting for you. This without doubt has been the best tomato year I can remember. Especially in the flavor department. our dry farmed crop of mixed heirlooms are the best tasting tomatoes we’ve ever grown.
The strawberries this week are just divine as well. This is the best time of year for them and the plants are loaded. We’ll have more coming on this week and next.
All of our potatoes are in. We did pretty well. The russets and red cheiftans did especially well as did the cal whites. We also have Russian and French fingerlings.
A few other misc things on the truck today such as sugar snap peas, squash, celery, napa cabbage, beets and bok choi.
Per usual we’ll be in the villgae today (Wed) from 12:00 til 4:00
Thanks for all of your support this year. It’s been the best ever on many fronts.
And…… This Saturday night the 29th we are hosting another barn dance. The festivities begin around 7:00 ish Great live music and fun dancing.
One last item. As you all know Jay and I will be continuing pizza nights at the brewery beginning this Friday from 4:00 til 9:00. We’re also there on Saturdays and Sundays, same hours. Come on out and check it out. You can also get beer and pizza to go!

Good morning everyone. Hope you are all enjoying this incredible weather, we are. It’s been down right hot the last few days… and dry. So dry that we have to water our fields before we can work them to make new beds for planting fall crops, which we are attempting to do daily. we’ll be cover cropping very soon too.
We just about have all of our potatoes out of the ground and boy do the look good. It takes awhile for the wire worms to disapear in a newly tilled field and I think we have a handle on it. We pulled out some real beauties, wish we had more. There’s probably a couple thousand lbs of good ones. The real show stealer this week is the tomatoes. Our dry field grown ones have the best flavor of any toms we’ve ever grown. They’re not big but man are they tasty.
Lots of other goodies too. sugar snap peas and green beans and strawberries! Greens, chard and awesome napa cabbage. If you like basil
Some things are waning like squash and cukes. It was a good run. Next up is winter squash!
You can catch us in town today from 12:00 til 4:00
Also we are on for pizza this Friday. It’s the last time for us this season here at the home farm. We’ll be doing it at the brewery Friday, Saturday and Sundays starting on the 28th. Come on out and take a load off.
September 12, 2012
Hey everyone. We will be in town today from noon til fourish. Lots of great things coming in from the field today. Strawberries, tomatoes, squash, peas, beans, potatoes and more. These cool nights are slowing things down but soon we’ll be harvesting our lovely winter squash. Looking forward to that! We are busy working beds now planting, transplanting and getting ready to sow cover crop on some areas. Ohhh hopefully our corn will ripen soon. Its looking pretty good right now.
The big news here on the farm for us this week is that Jay and I have purchased a half share in the Ship Bay pizza oven. We are taking it over from Annie Sparks Dempster and are very excited to be working in conjunction with Geddes Martin. We’ll still do pizza here at the farm on Fridays ( including this coming Friday) from 6:00 til 9:00 until the weather closes in. We will also be at Ship Bay on Sundays from 3:00 til 8:00 AND coming soon, you can catch us at the new Island Hoppin Brewery on Mt. Baker Road. We’ll post a schedule on that shortly.
Thanks to all of you who have supported our pizza venture. It’s been such a big success that it only seemed natural to expand the operation. We are looking forward to keeping it in operation as far into the fall and winter as possible.
That’s the news form here…. I’m late getting to the field!

September 5, 2012
Hi everyone. Thanks for all the nice comments and encouragement this year. We wouldn’t be here without you!
We will have the crew in town tomorrow from 12:00 til 4:00
We’ll be a little short handed as Jay and I are off island for the day on business and some of our crew has began to move on. Tierney has the reins and can easily handle your needs. You can see things winding down in the field a bit but we have some great looking tomatoes and strawberries on at the moment. We’re starting to think of Fall as the winter squash is all starting to show some color and the days are getting shorter and there is a bit of a nip in the air. Ahhh I love this season more than any.
We made a big step in getting more beds formed and transplants in the ground today. More of that action continuing through the month. Gearing up for the fall and winter. We’re a little off schedule but we can make up for it. Think fall greens
We’re all breathing a sigh of relief that labor day has passed. It’s a catch 22, We want it to remain busy and feel very fortunate that it has been a good year so far. It’ll be Ok if it mellows out just a bit:)
Lot’s more to come!
And for pizza night? Yes we are on for this Friday. Rain or Shine from 6:00 til 9:00. We’ll keep it up as long as the weather holds.
Thanks again for your support,
FJ (farmer John) and the entire mrf crew.
Woops, I forgot to mention the barn dance happening this Friday as well. It’s in the barn in the back. Great live music and square dancing. Last time was great fun. All are welcome $5.00 to $10.00 suggested donation for the band.
Hello everyone… Thank you all so much to those of you who came out to the Wednesday night market last week. that was pretty cool. Despite it being an unusually long day for the crew it was all good we enjoyed seeing a lot of new faces and listening to some great music. Thanks to all you musicians out there. You helped make it a special night!
And double thanks if you came to pizza night. The pizza’s were crankin. We’re on again for this Friday. 6:00 to 9:00.
We had a little glitch on salad greens the last week or so. hopefully we are coming out of that. We may have some greens at market. It’s hard to catch back up once you get behind. We did better this year than ever before and we’re working hard to get them back in the line up.
The good thing is tomatoes are on! Still not super cranking but we’re seeing more ripe ones each week. Beans and squash are still summer standouts at the moment. We picked a few strawberries today too. They’ll be back on in earnest soon as well.
We will be in town again tomorrow fro 12:00 til 4:00. Drop in and check it out if you’re out and about.
FJ and crew!
Hi everyone, hope you are all enjoying the thunderstorm. We sure are and I sure like they way it smells and Jay and I we’re just saying today how nice it would be if it rained. Then it rained… Anyway, it was a good excuse for me pull the tractor into the barn and change the fluids.
Just a quick reminder about tomorrow. We will have our stand set up in town as normal from 11:00 til 4:00 ish. At that point we’ll move our booth over to the village green and will be participating in the mid week evening market. This is a one time event conceived and organized by our Market manager Jennifer Pietsch and is being held to support National Farmers Market Week.
Regardless of the reason, we are pretty excited to be doing two markets in one day. We are still doing our normal time in town during the day doing so we don’t miss our regulars in town who may not be able to be around at the time when the evening market is being held, which by the way is from 4:30 until 8:30
Jennifer has some pretty cool live music lined up and I think it sounds like a lot of fun. I’ve talked to quite a few of our fellow vendors and it sounds like it’ll be a big turn out. There will be food there too! (I hope there’s ribs)
There’s been a lot of talk over the years about a mid-week market and now Jennifer has kicked it off. Please come down to the green and check it out. We’re all anxious to see how it turns out and would love to hear what you think about it. Perhaps it could become a regular event in the future.
It’s another transistion time for the farm too. Moving out of things like peas and favas and heading into green beans and tomatoes! Bout damn time… We may have a few strawberries too.. Lots of beautiful basil and the squash and cukes are on this year, we do have dill!
Hope to see all your shining faces tomorrow night. Thanks everyone again for supporting local growers (not just us)
Farmer John and crew,
P.S. We are still on for pizza night this week. They just keep getting better.
Upcoming on the 17th, which is Friday of next week, we’ll be having an old time barn/square dance with a live band and callers starting around 8:30. Pizza night will be on as normal. (you can dance off the calories so you can eat more pizza!) Last time was just too fun not to do it again.
Hi everyone. I’m sending the crew into town today to set up. We still have cherries and they need a home today. I have a special on some that didn’t look as good as they should have. They would be perfect to process for jam or something. They are only $2.00 per lb The others are at $5.00 per lb. These are all organic and came from Tonnemakers in eastern Washington.
We’ll be in town from 12:00 til 4:00
Hello everyone. Many of you have asked me about cherries. We have arranged a delivery to Orcas from Tonnemakers on the east side of organic cherries. They will be here tomorrow (Friday) I have 300 lbs and need to move them by Sunday. I cannot take them to market on Saturday but we can make arrangements otherwise. E mail me your order and we’ll figure something out. The price is $5.00 lb.
Pizza night is on for tomorrow from 6:00 til 9:00 as usual.
Also, Next Wednesday the 8th there is a special evening farmers market on the green. It’ll be similar to our Saturday markets with live music and everything. We’ll probably be set up in the day in our normal site as well. Looks like alot of fun.
Keep well and be thinking cherries!
Howdy everyone, It’s like a wild bruckin bronc out here in the field. We’ve never had such a great year and we’re keeping up with all of the special orders that come in this time of year. Retail and wholesale sales have been busier than we’ve seen in a long time and we’ve been more prepared to handle the increased volume. Thank goodness for all this great rain we’ve had, it’s been a god send and special thanks to our crew. They’ve gone above and beyond on numerous occasions to make it all happen. Cheers guys! Most everything is looking great in the field right now and the cool weather has made it a little easier to get some of the field work done in order to keep up ( or at least try )
Tonight we are transplanting several beds of fall crops and more summer crops like basil too. We’ve been tasting some of the first tomatoes of the season… Awesome is all I can say. Green beans will be on next week too and summer squash is full on and the cukes are just beginning. It indeed is summer!
We will be in town tomorrow (Wednesday) from 11:00 til 4:00 with lots of farm fresh goodness. Maybe even some strawberries.
Friday night Pizza night has been rockin. Come on out if you can 6:00 til 9:00 byob and take a load off for awhile.
Thanks for all of your support gang. Most of you know we had kind of a tough go last year. Thanks for hanging in there and celebrating and reaping our success with us this year. I mean it. THANK YOU! This can be an emotional business at times. sharing what we do with people who truly give a damn makes it all worth while.
Your bleary eyed farmer John and crew
Good morning everyone. Just a quick reminder that we will be in town in our normal spot across from the museum today from 12:00 til 4:00. We’ll have strawberries! They are coming on pretty strong right now. We’ll have more in the next few days. Lots of other goodness too. Beets, onions, greens, squash, fava beans and more. What we really have a lot of though are peas. Both sugar snaps and snow. Probably more than we could ever sell. Therefor we have a simple supply and demand situation. I’d say that calls for a SALE. So for today and today only we have peas at $4.00 lb come and get em.
Next week we’ll have new potatoes and carrots!
It’s a big turn around time for us. We have many beds that have just been harvested and are now being prepped for our fall and overwinter crops. Last night we transplanted 400 row feet of basil, planted 1200 row feet of beets and another bed of salad greens. We have another bed of lettuce to transplant today and several areas to plow and prep for planting.
Things are going well. Crops are looking healthy and sales have been good. If we can keep up the momentum we’ll be on track for a great year.
Thanks for the support!
Farmer John and crew
Don’t forget… tonight is pizza night. 6:00 til 9:00 secondly. Here’s what we are harvesting for market tomorrow.
Artichokes! beets, asian salad mix, lettuce salad mix, braisers, strawberries, sugar snap peas, snow peas, fava beans, leeks, parsley, chard, kale, head lettuce, squash, onions. Maybe potatoes? cucumbers?
It’s gonna be sweet, check it out.
farmer John and crew thanking you all for your continued support.
Wednesday again already! We’ll be in town today in our normal location from 11:00 til 4:00. It’s pea city today. Fava beans are on and they are yumsville, so tender. A few strawberries too. Summer squash finally decided to do it. Lots of great greens, onions, beets, leeks and more.
Come on out and check it out,
FJ and crew
Hello everyone and Happy 4th of July week! Omg we love this rain, our fields are verdant!
We are mixing it up a little this week. Today (Tuesday) We will have a stand set up on the dock at Deer Harbor from 12:00 til 5:00
Tomorrow (wed) We’ll be set up in town at our normal location from 11:00 til 4:00
This is a transistion moment, finally! Summer crops are just coming on. We have tons of peas on at the moment and squash and cukes are just beginning to appear as well as fava beans and beets! Lots of fruit on the tomatoes, it’ll be another couple weeks. We’ll be long on strawberries here in a week or so.
We are having a good year and it feels great. We still need your support though, We are still catching up from winter/spring and this would be a good time to top off your CSA accounts. We would love to have more new members too. Many of you have referred new members in the past and we are always grateful for that.
Thank you and have a safe and Happy 4th!
P.S. Yes we will be open this Friday night for pizza from 6:00 til 9:00
Farmer John and crew
Whew, sorry for the late e mail, it’s turned out to be one of those weeks.
We havt the truck in town today even though it’s Thursday. We just added a day to see how it goes. Our supply is holding up well and there are some new things beginning to appear in the field like summer squash! More peas are coming and it wont be long for green beans. The tomatoes are just rocking right now. Great fruit set happening and lots af baby green tomatoes on the vine indoors and out. Strawberries are just setting fruit too!
We had a great turn out for pizza the other night. It was perfect. Our new set up allows to handle a bigger volume without any problems.
We will be open again for farm night Tomorrow from 6:00 til 9:00 at the home farm at the end of Pinneo Road. Feel freen to bring your favorite adult beverage and get set to have a great night. We have some muscian friends setting up to play some old time fiddle musictoo. Should be a great night. As always, rain or shine. Dont be shy, we have tents and umbrellas.
And…. This Saturday night we are hosting an old time barn / square dance. Live music and a caller will be on hand. It’s a potluck that starts at 6:30 ish with music starting at 8:00 ish. I’m really looking forward to this one, should be a blast.
Thanks y’all. See you at there.
Farmer John and crew
Hello everyone and good morning! We are loading the truck and coming to the village with all kinds of great fresh produce. The salad greens today are drop dead gorgeous and we have a few sugar snap and snow peas. They taste great! Come on down between 12:00 and 4:00 and see your farmers. We have a limited amount of Produce at Island Market if you miss us in town.
We’re still planting and transplanting something almost everyday. today we are taking peas out of one bed in one of our greenhouses and replacing them with tomatoes to be grown in grow bags. It’s an easy way for a quick turn around. It’s also not too late to plant your own out. We still have starts available.
We are just beginning to harvest the first summer squash! Soon we’ll have tons to share. Speaking of sharing.. We’re hitting the food bank twice a week right now. They are so appreciative, it’s definately a feel good moment for us.
Mowing! always mowing.
Farm night? Yes we will be open again this Friday night from 6:00 til 9:00. Take a tour of the farm but more importantly, have some great wood fired pizza!
Thats all for now. The crew is waiting for me.
Farmer John and crew
Good morning! A friendly reminder that it’s Wednesday and we’ll have our produce stand set up in town today from 12:00 til 4:00. The crops have been loving this rain and everything looks fantastic. We should have a few plant starts on board too.
Things continue to be busy in the field, lots of transplanting and direct sowing in the field going on. We just finished planting the one acre field of winter squash. Things are looking pretty good. We had a good day yesterday. Lots of tractor cultivating and we were able to sow corn and get the first round of potato hilling done. We also made another delivery to the food bank., we’re hitting them twice a week right now. We had great sales in May, June has started out a little slowe but will hopefully pick up.
Pizza night? Not sure yet, last week it rained and not enough people showed up to even cover expenses. We’ll do it if it looks clear I guess. If we have another week like last I won’t be able to keep doing it. Too much work to do it and lose money. I’ll confirm by Friday.
Happy Wednesday, we will be in town today from 12:00 til 4:00. Wonderful fresh greens out of the field today.
We’ll be bringing garden starts too. It’s pretty much safe to put just about anything in the ground at this point. We have some especially nice tomatoes right now.
We will be hosting Farm Night again this Friday from 6:00 til 9:00. Last week was crazy, We’re making a few changes to make it run a little smoother on our end. Hope to see you there.
So much happening on the farm this week. Some of our first successions are done and being turned over for new crops, We just ammended our big field with about 20 tons of compost yesterday. This field will have winter squash sown into it in the next few days. We’re still transplanting stuff every week, yesterday it was bok choi, tomatoes and cardoons, today is basil and more toms, tomorrow will be lettuce.
We direct seed quite a bit right now too. The carrots are up and so are the second succession of beets. Lettuce and fennel are just starting to germ and big, long beds of Asian salad greens are growing fast a screaming for water. Can’t put the watering tapes down fast enough!
Time to roll here, crew is out before me… yikes!
Thanks for being supporters :)
Farmer John and crew
Hello hello ! Hope you are all well. Just a quick reminder that we will be in town today from 12:00 til 4:00 with fresh produce. Salad greens, braising greens, radish’s bunched kale and of course beautiful garden ready plant starts. We’ve been putting our tomatoes out this week.. It’s time
Another busy week. It’s been all about getting plants and seed in the ground and water on the fields. A bit ironic really. Such a wet spring then bam, everything needs water now! We’ve got about two acres running on drip at the moment. It’s a big time commitment to set up but works great. The plants have really responded well with all of this great weather.
We will also be hosting farm night again this Friday night from 6:00 til 9:00 at the home farm on pinneo. Last week was great, we’ll try to make it even better this time. I’ve been thinking about new pizza ideas all week. trying to get a little music lined up too… and more help, it’s been busy. Yay!
Hope to see you,
Farmers, John, Jay, Robyn, Dillon, Alex and Tierney
Farm night is on tonight from 6:00 til 9:00 at the home farm at the end of Pinneo Road in Westsound. It’s mostly about the pizza! but we also have fresh produce available and tons of garden ready starts. The farm is looking great right now. Come on out and have a look. | agronomy |

Home composting from the very comforts of your yard can be done regardless of what your way of living is or how big your yard space is. Your intentions of creating compost will easily adapt to your surroundings since it can be done through several approaches. The production of compost can be done using a compost bin, or can also be arranged by creating a compost heap. A compost heap is an open pile wherein organic wastes can be packed in and buried.
Backyard Composting Preparations
If you have biodegradable items at home (all except the meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, and citrus-based products), then have these collected for composting. You’ll be amazed at how these organic wastes can be broken down by just the presence of air, heat, moisture, and live microbes. Now it would also be best to get a composting bin that will accommodate the quantity of wastes that you intend to compost. But for starters, you can try using a make shift composter, like a Rubbermaid trashcan. It’s the perfect bin as it already goes with a cover. And as soon as you’re done, prepare the container by drilling evenly spaced holes on the base and top of the bin. This will allow for the proper flow of air and excess moisture into the bin.
Let’s get composting!
Make sure that you don’t place any of the prohibited organic matter into your bin or compost pile. Remember that you also have neighbors nearby. They might not like the very sight or smell of a project gone wrong. So make sure that you select the materials that will be put into the bin or pile. Also ensure that the organic leftover’s that goes into your compost system are moistened (a soaking wet compost will create a stench!), and also something that has a balanced mix of nitrogen and carbon-rich pieces.
Creating a balance in your compost
When vermicomposting or plain backyard composting, always ensure that a good balance of ‘greens’ and ‘browns’ are mixed into the compost system. Also make certain that you have these organic pieces shredded or cut into smaller bits first. Not only will this technique hasten the decomposition process, this will also reduce the bulk from your bin or pile. Of course, the less bulk there is, the more organic matter can be added. Now after this step, proceed by adding some water to moisten the compost. You will then have to keep your compost materials aerated regularly to constantly introduce air into the system. This method is essential because the live organisms and microbes that live in the compost rely on the oxygen to subsist. These beings are in fact, the ones that are responsible in converting the scraps into a nutritious fertilizer and soil conditioner. So make sure they are thriving and are always well provided for. | agronomy |

And gardening is such a fun way to include some science about plants and health without a formal nutrition curriculum.
The newspaper excerpt is below...
FAIR USE http://daltondailycitizen.com/local/x1763649170/Student-grows-unrea...
July 2, 2013
It’s the weight of a 4- or 5-year-old child, twice that of a car tire and equal to a 5-gallon bottle of water. Brookwood Elementary School student Daniel Quintero’s 39-pound cabbage was almost unbelievable.
“It was unreal,” said Anna Verhoeff, a parent volunteer who works with Brookwood’s garden.
Throughout the spring, the garden has hosted a cabbage for each third-grade student at the school as a part of the Bonnie Plants Cabbage Program. Bonnie Plants distributes free cabbage plants to third-graders across the nation. Each state chooses a winning cabbage and the student who grew the vegetable receives a $1,000 scholarship.
Daniel’s cabbage will be entered in the state competition. His secret to cabbage success? Lots of water and care.
“I was surprised,” Daniel, 9, said when he discovered how big his cabbage had gotten. “(Surprised) because my cabbage grew the biggest.”
Brookwood has participated in the cabbage program before, but this year officials chose to grow the cabbage plants at the school rather than sending them home with the students. | agronomy |

We are SO thankful to have three wonderful new Wild Harmony apprentices who just started this week.
Education is super important to us. Farming is HARD work, and we want our apprentices to learn and have REAL hands-on experience. We hope to give them a love of caring for the land to carry with them (not to mention some sweet apocalyptic skills). When you eat a Wild Harmony pork chop for dinner, you are helping to educate and empower the next generation of regenerative farmers.
Folks come from all over the country to join us in healing the land and feeding our community. This spunky cohort will be with us for 6 months and learn the ins and outs of what it takes to raise animals with respect and integrity. We will train them on topics such as pasture management, water systems, fencing, tractor operations, plant identification, and physical self-care for longevity in manual labor.
The apprentices talk about how psyched they are about regenerative agriculture on our About Us page

currently i’m growing:
· banana peppers
· red peppers
· chinese onion

The local businesses travelling to Guyana are Red Diamond Compost, Pro Cage Supplies, O’s Inc., 60 Acre Farm Inc. and C.O.Williams Farms. They will be among some 250 exhibitors who have registered to date to participate in the event, which is being held at the Arthur Chung Conference Center under the theme ‘Investing in Vision 25 by 2025’.
The three-day event is one initiative in efforts to achieve a 25 percent reduction in the regional food import bill by 2025. This is to be realized by encouraging the CARICOM Member States to pursue accelerated and targeted investment in food production and the agricultural business ecosystem.
Leading the delegation is Business Development Consultant Taahir Bulbulia, who described the event as timely, pointing to the need to promote food and nutritional security across the region.
“Events like these are integral to the development of the agricultural sector and businesses in that sector, as we promote sustainability and resilience. COVID reinforced for us the importance of being sustainable in the way in which we eat, and the way we look at our agricultural sector. As you know, our food import bill is very high, it is vital that there is collaboration among local and regional farmers and established entities within our agricultural sector to bring it down”.
Bulbulia is quite upbeat about the opportunity to showcase what Barbadian businesses have to offer to assist with developing the agricultural industry regionally and internationally. He said Export Barbados (BIDC) sees such opportunities as essential to reaching the island’s export goals.
“We are committed to helping our businesses develop an export focus that will see them grow and increase their foreign exchange earning potential. Working with these agricultural companies essentially fits into our goal and vision of reaching USD1 billion in exports by 2030.

Destruction of soil nutritional elements is amongst the major signs of dirt degradation, usually due to accelerated mainstream cultivation practices in order to satisfy the interest in food and additional farming items, but could additionally be due to having less dirt fertility administration in pastures.
Within this review, we highlight and discuss factors associated with the beneficial providers of AMF and glomalin in degraded earth, the elements utilized by the inoculants of these fungi and glomalin for the recovery process of degraded avenues, the challenges of the creation of mycorrhizal inoculants in Brazil, plus the use of these microbiological features as indications of dirt top quality. The tabs on AMF and glomalin inside the earth was of fundamental benefits to determining the stage of dirt degradation/recovery.
Consequently, it absolutely was shown the MAb 32b11 antigen into the mycelium associated with the fungi have a proteins nature centered on specific evidence: it actually was a necessary protein demonstrated from the Bradford approach ( Bradford, 1976 Bradford, M. M. 1976. A fast and sensitive and painful method for the quantitation of microgram quantities of necessary protein utilizing the idea of protein-dye binding. Analytical Biochemistry 72: 248-254.

Powerful positive relationship between GRSP and earth aggregate factors (roentgen 2 = 0.41 aˆ“ 0.78; p< 0.05) has been found in diverse soil types and climatic conditions ( Wright and Upadhyaya, 1998 Wright, S.F.; Upadhyaya, A. 1998. A survey of soils for aggregate stability and glomalin, a glycoprotein produced by hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Plant and Soil 198: 97-107. ; Luna et al., 2016 Luna, L.; Miralles, I.; Andrenelli, M.C.; Gispert, M.; Pellegrini, S.; Vignozzi, N.; Sole-Benet, A. 2016. Restoration techniques affect soil organic carbon, glomalin and aggregate stability in degraded soils of a semiarid Mediterranean region. Catena 143: 256-264. ; Liu et al., 2020 Liu, H.; Wang, X.; Liang, C.; Ai, Z.; Wu, Y.; Xu, H.; Xue, S.; Liu, G. 2020. Glomalin-related soil protein affects soil aggregation and recovery of soil nutrient following natural revegetation on the Loess Plateau. Geoderma 357: 113921. ). It has been suggested that GRSP enhances soil aggregate stability by improving the aggregate bond energy, particularly for macroaggregates ( Ji et al., 2019 Ji, L.; Tan, W.; Chen, X. 2019. Arbuscular mycorrhizal mycelial networks and glomalin-related soil protein increase soil aggregation in Calcaric Regosol under well-watered and drought stress conditions. Soil and Tillage Research 185: 1-8. ). Moreover, an increase in the GRSP concentration in soil improved other soil physical properties, such as decreased bulk density and an increase in soil porosity, moisture content, and water-holding capacity ( Gispert et al., 2013 Gispert, M.; Emran, M.; Pardini, G.; Doni, S.; Ceccanti, B. 2013. The impact of land management and abandonment on soil enzymatic, glomalin content aggregate stability. Geoderma 202: 51-61. ; Singh et al., 2016 Singh, A.K.; Rai, A.; Singh, N. 2016. Effect of long-term land use systems on fractions of glomalin and soil organic carbon in the Indo-Gangetic plain. Geoderma 277: 41-50. ). Nobre et al. (2015) Nobre, C.P.; LA?zaro, M.M.E.; Pereira, M.G.; Berbara, R.L.L. 2015. Soil aggregation, glomalin and organic carbon in Araripe plateau, CearA?, Brasil. in a study on aggregation, GRSP and SOC in Chapada do Araripe (CearA?), found positive correlation between the carbon levels (TOC and POC), the GRSP fractions (EE-GRSP and GRSP) and between GRSP and aggregate stability, showing that the protein produced by AMF directly influences carbon concentrations and the stability of aggregates in the Chapada do Araripe soil. A similar result was found by Silva Filho et al. (2018) Silva Filho, C.P.; M.P.; Gomes, F.V.; . Glomalin-related soil protein content in areas of degraded and revegetated caatinga in the municipality of IrauA§uba. Journal of Agricultural Science 10: 302-312. , who found positive correlation between GRSP fractions and aggregate stability. In addition to this direct effect on soil structure, GRSP reduces soil erosion and improves soil thickness by forming soil aggregates ( Gispert et al., 2013 Gispert, M.; Emran, M.; Pardini, G.; Doni, S.; Ceccanti, B. 2013. The impact of land management and abandonment on soil enzymatic, glomalin content aggregate stability. Geoderma 202: 51-61. ). | agronomy |

Is it complicated?
No!!!. Let us look at our refrigerators to begin with sounds funny? It isn’t.
We will connect the dots now.
Study conducted reveals on an average 4.45 million tons of food is wasted every year and that every household wasting 936 Kg of food. If this is startling consider the stat, this is roughly the equivalent of 1/4th of the food that is bought if that is not enough, a humongous 5.2 billion dollars are spent on food each year. This consumption has its demerits as approximately one quarter is roughly wasted and not utilised causing effects on its environment and the food chain.
Food is also wasted it takes to grow the food. Sounds confusing???. Let us look at an example of what goes into a steak. 40% of all the wheat, rice, corn and other food are used to feed the animals
Another metaphor would be beef production. In Western developed countries, every kg of beef requires 10 kg of cereals and 100,000 litres of water for its consumption. That’s so much of food being wasted for beef consumption per kg. Estimation would suggest for standard population of over 10 million consuming beef, the food wastage would be skyrocketing beyond what we can imagine. Many country mates eat certain portion of the animals. About 46% of the edible cow carcass is sold cheaply for pet food and other uses. Food in the supermarket is also wasted to about 7% which is unsold food. Roughly around 30% of the food is wasted from our households.
Let’s draw your attention to the veggies. One kg of potato requires approximately of 500 litres of water and one kg of rice requires 1500 litres of water. Let’s not forget our routine daily dose. Sure you must have figured it out now! Yes it’s about coffee. It takes 140 litres of water to make a cup of coffee right from its plantation, brewing and making your delicious coffee. About 30% of the fruits and vegetables are rejected by the Supermarkets for not meeting the standards.
According to the CSIRO 54% of the Australian mangoes are thrown away each single year. Equating the food wastage in Australia to filling trucks, yes it would fill roughly 720,000 trucks of food. To put in plain perspective, a quarter of the food wasted in developed countries would feed the hunger stricken stomachs of the developing and under developing countries. This goes to sure that we consume than what it is required and resources on our planet are not plenty and limited yet the food chain is affected each and every day causing its effect on greenhouse gases causing irreparable damage to our climate. Hence, there is a greater need for us to adjust our food chain system to limit the wastage and promote biodiversity. This calls for transformation in producing, processing, distributing and consumption in our food system. It is about time that we act responsibly and make things better for our environment.

The EPA director’s visit was to articulate his commitment to maintaining biofuels levels. Six students welcomed Pruitt and Gov. Kim Reynolds at the feedlot, where a “family” style dinner was provided. After the dinner at the feedlot with agriculture industry leaders, the entourage traveled to Couser Farms south facility where Pruitt addressed a larger crowd. Nevada FFA members flanked the stage where Pruitt spoke. Nevada FFA started early in the week getting the FFA hayrack ready — providing a staircase, FFA banners and pennants — and hooked up to one of the FFA most successful tractor projects, a Massey Ferguson 180 diesel. The tractor is now owned by Tim Couser. In addition, Nevada Ag Ed & FFA provided fifteen poinsettia plants for the dinner and speakers’ stage. | agronomy |

THE 2022 VINTAGE
The 2022 growing season began with below average temperatures and above normal precipitation across the Walla Walla Valley. The cold start resulted in fewer growing days for the spring and early summer overall, but the extra rainfall and mountain snowpack prepared the area for multiple triple-digit days beginning in July. The heat contributed to optimal fruit set and a slightly larger crop. By September and October, cooler temperatures helped the grapes to ripen slowly, developing a perfect balance between flavor and sugar, acid and tannin.
Director of Winemaking Jean-François Pellet says, “The long growing season and relatively short harvest turned out to be absolutely idyllic for producing wines that are well-balanced with great fruit expression.” | agronomy |

Charlotte seed potatoes produce an excellent crop of uniform shallow-eyed, long-oval tubers 50% bigger than other salad varieties.
- Home-grower’s favourite
- Good-sized salad type
- Used at top tables
Follow in the footsteps of expert home growers and grow Charlotte. It’s a salad potato loved for its excellent uniform shallow-eyed, long-oval tubers which grow 50% bigger than other salad varieties.
A versatile variety in the kitchen, tender creamy-yellow flesh remains very firm and has a mouth-watering texture whether hot or in salads! Charlotte gives you high yields when they are ready from June- just in time for the on-coming barbecue season.
We recommend you grow Charlotte in trenches if you have an allotment; if you’re short of space grow them in Marshalls Gro-Sacks which you can position on sunny patios near to your house. Just put five seed potatoes evenly placed in every Gro-Sack and get harvests six times the amount.
With blight resistance, and not particularly attractive to slugs they are a great a selection for organic growers that want to avoid harmful chemicals. You know you are onto a good one with Charlotte which has the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society | agronomy |

I wanted it all to look a bit like a forest. But mother nature and farming does not go well together. Deer and moose and rabits spoiled quite a bit of my efforts, and although I was able to protect most of fruit trees, the expensive bleuberry plants suffers greatly each year. So I decided to make a fenced of orchard and now I can't sleep. So many things to go through.... What materials to choose, how to make it look good and eye pleasing (I don't like fences) and how to plant the trees and bushes, because so far they where all mixed in random order, but going a bit more PRO I think it would be a lot better to group them. Ahhh..... So my orchard will be 50x50 meters, of 150cm sheep mesh, I want each post to last a lifetime ( haha ), so each of it will have it's own foundation, a bit more work, but I have the post ready from some firewood, they have not been vacuum impregnated so digging them underground means they will last only 10 years. The most of the fruit trees are already there, but digging them up and replanting will be necesserity. And what to do with the bushes? The way to go is to "roundup" the weeds for a start, then cultivate the land, then "roundup" again and plant. But I want to be nature friendly, so another way to go is to lay some dark sheeting for a year and the weeds rot underneath... Ahh, so many things to think off and i like it So what's your way to go about orchars and any good media, books, articles? | agronomy |

At room temperature, it is a colourless gas, with a pungent odour that is highly irritating. Ammonia is classified as a base, and is fairly corrosive. When put under enough pressure, ammonia gas forms a clear liquid and is generally shipped in this form. It is not highly flammable. Some additional properties of ammonia are shown in the table below.
|Molar mass||17.031 grams/mole|
Ammonia is a chemical that is essential for plant, animal, and human life. It is a natural component of the air, water, and soil and acts as a nitrogen source for plants and animals. However, in high quantities ammonia can be harmful for human health.
Ammonia has a wide range of uses, but the majority of ammonia produced (~80%) is used in agriculture as a fertilizer. This process allows soils to become more nitrogen rich. Ammonia can also be used as a refrigerant gas and is used in the manufacturing of plastics, explosives, textiles, pesticides, dyes, and other chemicals. Additionally, ammonia can be used as a cleaning solution in both household and industrial applications.
Ammonia can also be used as a source of protein in livestock feed for animals such as cattle, sheep, and goats. In the petroleum industry, ammonia is used to neutralize acidic components of crude oil. In mining, ammonia is used to extract copper, nickel, and molybdenum from their ores. In waste water treatment, ammonia is used to control the pH of the water. Finally, ammonia is used to clean exhaust gases from smokestacks, removing sulfur oxides and NOx. This enhances the efficiency of electrostatic precipitators.
Depending on how a person is exposed to ammonia, the health effects vary. When inhaled, ammonia acts as an irritant and burns the nose, throat, and respiratory tract. This inhalation of the corrosive chemical can result in respiratory distress. At lower concentrations this can lead to coughing. This exposure is more harmful to children or adults with reduced respiratory functions.
If ammonia comes into contact with the eyes or skin, it can cause irritation and burning. Extended exposure to ammonia can result in blindness and eye damage. If ingested, ammonia can burn the mouth, throat, and stomach. | agronomy |

This weekend we moved all of Baba’s plants that had grown enough from the greenhouse into the big vegetable garden. Baba has been asking for a few days now to move his plants, and he doesn’t just ask once a day he has been asking in the morning, after school and in the evening.
He knew that he could move the lettuce, but at the weekend we went on a whim and decided to move the other plants that had grown from the seeds that he had grown.
So we moved lettuce, pumpkins, courgettes, carrots, onions, cucumber, tomatoes and planted a couple of more things as well, parsnips and Brussel sprouts.
To be honest I am not sure how anything will cope with being outside and we really are trying ideas out at the moment but I am hoping that somethings will grow well for Baba’s sake as he is so excited about it all and he gets super excited when we do something like moving the seeds.
He was amazed with how many seeds we had and what had grown already.
It was amazing watching him pulling each pumpkin plant out individually and realising we had a couple of rows of them to put into the vegetable patch, and looking out and seeing them all planted and little green leaves poking out of the ground.
Now we have moved from looking after the plants in the greenhouse to looking after the plants in the garden.
Protecting them from the dogs, and watching over them daily.
It’s a bit like Baba has his own babies at the moment.
He checks on them first thing in the morning, he tells the dogs “to get of his plant patch” he stops his brother from going near them and he stands and studies them after school incase they have grown a little, then at night I am instructed to water and stop the dogs from getting on them again.
It’s a highly responsibly job at the moment and one that he is taking very seriously and it is lovely to see him work so hard on them and loving the results as well.
A budding gardener is growing in our house and it is a gorgeous thing to watch develop as he gets bigger and understands more. | agronomy |

Within the overarching goal of sustainable practice include the measures of minimizing environmental impact, minimizing carbon footprints, and minimizing overall waste.
Reducing waste, however, is not just a philanthropic concept; in the arena of business, food waste can cost plenty. Estimates from studies put annual food waste costs at a heaping $160 billion.
How is that food wasted, though? Our plant food usually goes through a myriad of steps during its supply chain journey, cycling through the growing, harvesting, packaging, shipping, and retailing phases before hitting our dinner plates. The longer the duration of that journey, of course, the more potential is created for waste. Plants might be culled out due to disease or wasting to the elements; sometimes they are rejected for minute imperfections to appeal to high aesthetic standards. But an even more unsettling reality is that large farms often need to plant far more crops than they intend to use in case of unpredicted diseases or other misfortune befalling them, making massive food waste a regular and intentional component of commercial agriculture.
Keep in mind, also, that in the process we’re not just wasting food or even just wasting money: we’re also wasting water, fertilizer, resources, and energy. By some estimates, 21 percent of the freshwater we use for growing is used up on produce that never gets eaten. When you consider that some crops have a huge “water footprint” (for example, lettuce consumes more than 200 liters per kilogram), it becomes clear that even a seemingly small amount of wasted produce adds up to a huge waste of other resources.
What can we do to change that? While we as consumers can do our part by changing our aesthetic standards for produce and certainly by more wisely using the produce we get from the grocery store, changing the wasteful practices of large companies is mostly out of our reach. How could urban agricultural practices change that?
The first and most basic way is this: urban agriculture cuts out the lengthy steps and abridges this entire process. Instead of farm-to- freight truck-to- grocery store-to- table, urban farms allow for our food travel in a straight trajectory from the greenhouse to the local farmer’s market and right into our yummy homemade salads. Plus, when we have the luxury of urban greenhouses in our own backyards, there’s no reason to worry about quadrupling the crop of spinach to protect against misfortune; in practically no time, that spinach will be procured and enjoyed by a nearby customer. When the chance for waste is cut down and we remove the need for surplus planting, we reach our intended goal: prices eventually drop.
Another great thing: when it’s time to reap the benefits of urban agriculture, the first to get a taste of those benefits are local businesses. Local businesses are the backbone of local economies and major influences within our communities, and when those businesses thrive we experience something cool called local economy cash flow: the money we spend is circulated through the businesses around us instead of sourced out to external companies, which ultimately leads to more money for infrastructure, local programs, and other things we want for our communities.
One of the success stories that can be found within the Las Vegas valley is housed in a neat Downtown coffee venue. Vesta Coffee Roasters has procured produce from Urban Seed for about a month and features their urban greens in their Berry Good and Urban Miso salads. The company’s founder and owner, Jerad Howard, places a lot of value in sustainability and desires to reflect that in company practices. A fan of fennel, which is a feature in the Berry Good recipe, Jerad is passionate about reflecting an attitude of social and environmental care and responsibility through the company. Their game plan, essentially, is to “lead by example in practicing sustainable food, sustainable culture, and sustainable business practice”, he explains. One great feature at Vesta that allows for less food waste is their small, simple, delicious menu that varies seasonally. Having a smaller selection of recipes means having fewer ingredients laying around with little purpose, Jerad explains, and consequently less food waste.
By taking their sustainable practice to the next level and partnering with Urban Seed, Vesta has also reaped the benefits of superior-quality greens that customers rave about. The future of urban farming, Jerad states, could potentially allow for “a much greater selection of fresh and healthful foods” that are enjoyed at a low cost and with minimal waste. But in the end, sustainability to Jerad is about much more than food and coffee: it’s all about treating individuals with equity and respect. At Vesta, employee treatment is a huge value as well as the use of fair-trade coffee, which ensures that coffee farmers and distributors are paid fair wages for their time and labor. Best of all, the coffee shop is a consistently friendly and inviting abode within the community it resides, and certainly inspires clients with its organic and sustainable reputation.
In the end, it makes sense to ditch the spiderweb supply chain of conventional agriculture in exchange for a farm-to- table and farm-to- restaurant system of urban agriculture. We end up with happier businesses, happier communities, and ultimately happier individuals.

Champagne journalist and author, Caroline Henry, reports back from last year’s difficult harvest, with early results indicating it could be one of the best this decade.
After the rotten 2017 vintage, and the diluted 2018, 2019 has been hailed by many as the harvest of the decade. It may be a little early to make these statements yet, but after a complicated growing season the harvest delivered beyond expectations both in terms of quality and quantity.
Climate change dominated the 2019 growing season, testing winegrowers’ patience and resilience. The last week of February was unusually balmy, with temperatures up to 20°C. Winter returned at the beginning of March, but the early heat boosted the powdery mildew virus, especially among chardonnay vines in the Côte des Blancs. Spring frosts added to the woes of the Côte des Blancs growers in April and May, while summer saw grapes withering on the vines all over the region when temperatures soared to 42.9°C. Nevertheless, the weather settled as harvest approached, and the cool nights and more moderate temperatures provided ideal conditions for grapes to ripen. Sugar levels rose rapidly at the end of August, but at the same time a good level of acidity remained. Gentle rain in late August, and heavy morning dew during harvest, further increased the bunch weight without diluting the flavours.
According to Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, cellar master at Louis Roederer, “The 2019 harvest surpassed all expectations both in terms of quality and quantity but, once again this year, the key was to pick at the right time.” This comment may have been inspired by growers precipitating to open press centres in early September, after sugar levels rose dramatically at the end of August. However, grapes did not reach phenolic ripeness at 10 or even 10.5% potential alcohol. Dominique Leboeuf, Director of the Station Oenotechnique de la Champagne, confirmed that the sensation of ripeness only occurred above 10.6% alcohol, adding that for him, the ideal picking window was between 10.5% and 11% potential alcohol. Anything above this, he feared, the wines would become too heavy. Lécaillon disagreed on the 11% limit, stating Louis Roederer had picked at higher alcohol percentages in previous years (as well as this year) with excellent result. This is corroborated by champagne expert Peter Liem, who claimed that the 2018 Roederer vins clairs “were the most elegant he ever tasted”, though many of them were picked above 11% potential alcohol.
During harvest, Leboeuf also stated that grapes picked under 10.5% potential alcohol showed some bitterness in the must, but later confirmed this disappeared during alcoholic fermentation. The resulting wines are less flavoursome than the ones picked at full ripeness, but they show the same freshness. With relatively low overall pHs, despite the intense heat this summer, Maxime Toubart, President of the Syndicat Général des Vignerons de la Champagne, compared the harvest’s quality to 2015, one of the best years this decade.
Furthermore, despite several yield losses during the growing season, Toubart confirmed the appellation requirement of 10,200 kg/ha looked to be within reach. Losses were a lot less than expected, especially in the Côte des Blancs, where the intense heat in July helped to limit powdery mildew damages. Moreover, the abundant 2018 harvest provides a buffer for growers with severe losses, allowing the 2019 harvest to be one of the most serene ones since the turn of the century.

The Truly Grass Fed Verified™ Difference
Being Truly Grass Fed Verified™ means sourcing from small family farmers in Ireland that represent the highest industry standards of quality, animal welfare, environmental consciousness, and taste.
The quality of treatment results in the most nutrient-rich milk that is significantly higher in omega fatty acids, beta-carotene, and CLAs.
The taste is a rich, more desirable taste than other similar products.
This difference is achieved in 5 key ways.
A Nutritious Diet
Truly Grass Fed cows feast on a diet of 95% grass and little bit of clover year round.
The remaining 5% are additional dietary supplements to increase nutrition during key points of the year such as during late gestation and early lactation.
Small family farms means that each cow is treated with much more care and attention individually.
If a cow gets sick and requires an antibiotic because of the sickness, then the cow will be administered an antibiotic and its milk is removed from the supply. After the cow recovers from the illness and its milk is cleared of any antibiotics, it returns to life as normal and its milk is added back to the supply.
No Unnecessary Treatments
Truly Grass Fed cows are never given any growth hormones or milk-producing hormones, and a dedicated veterinarian guides all suppliers on aspects of animal health and welfare.
The cows are also rBST-free.
Roaming With Plenty Of Space
Truly Grass Fed cows live how nature intended: outside and free to roam!
Each farm has an average of 2 acres to 1 cow.
The cows spend an average of 250 days per year outside (taking into account inclement weather days and winter seasons). For the majority of the year, they bask in the luscious Irish climate and graze in fields of nutritious green grass.
The average herd size is 100 cows. This gives each cow more individual attention and care that every cow deserves.
Perfect Temperatures & Weather
Too hot or too cold is a rarity in Ireland. Temperatures range from 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit (4-10 Celsius) in winter and 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit (16-21 Celsius) in summer, allowing cows to graze for most of the year.
Ireland also receives plentiful amounts of rain year round which means that Truly Grass Fed Verified™ farms do not use carbon-emitting mechanical irrigation.
Truly Grass Fed Verified™ is certified by an independent non-profit group called AGW (A Greener World).
This organization certifies those who meet standards for animal welfare, outdoor access, and sustainability.

Last updated 9/8/2022 at 4:57pm | View PDF
Perhaps you have noticed the days are getting shorter? A sure sign that summer is winding down and fall is around the corner. I think of the garden year not from January to December, but from autumn to autumn, since so much of our garden creation and re-creation happens in the fall. The first half of September is preparation, and the second half is when the action really begins.
The vegetable garden transitions from warm to cool season, so there will be some of each in the beds this month. My tomatoes must stay in longer because they are setting better fruit now than they did in summer. But I'm cleaning out the rest of my old tired, buggy squash and melon plants and will let the beds rest a few weeks, before planting seedlings of broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower.
You can also plant seeds of carrot, lettuce, parsley, green onions, peas, radish, chard and other greens, turnips, seed potatoes and flowers like calendula, alyssum, snapdragon and poppies. You can also start planting trees and perennials or wait another month.
In our area, October is the best month for planting. As always, try to plant in the cool mornings and avoid planting if high temperatures are forecast. This is a great time to plant your ornamental perennials for next spring and summer. The warm fall days will give them time to get established, while winter will get their roots developed for a long, hot summer. Think of drought-tolerant plants such as salvias, butterfly bush, ceanothus, daylily, coreopsis or sunflower.
Pay attention to anything you plant this month. In the vegetable garden, aphids and white fly may still be active, and earwigs will be emerging from summer siesta. Continue with ant baits in edible and ornamental beds. Trees and perennials you plant will need to be monitored closely if the weather remains hot all month.
September is also cleanup month in the ornamental beds. Trim and prune shrubs, evergreen trees and flowers. Trim and divide bulbs, corms and tubers and replant by Thanksgiving. Dispose of any remaining fruit and nuts on trees or on the ground. Aerate cool season lawns. Keep plants free of dust to discourage spider mites. Apply ¼ cup each of Epsom salts and Ironite to each of your rose bushes around the base, and top off with compost.
You can apply pre-emergent herbicide for cool-season weeds starting this month or wait and hope for rain to water it in for you. Watch for blue grass, brome and other non-native weedy grasses to emerge and use a hoe or hand pull to reduce their numbers.
In addition to the roses, compost can be top-dressed in all beds, and go ahead and add mulch beginning this month. Check soil moisture with a monitor or your finger to adjust watering as the weather changes. Heat waves may occur, so be ready to pre-irrigate as needed to keep plants stress-free.
While you're trimming and slashing your way through the garden, keep an eye out for wildlife you want to conserve. Lizards, spiders, toads and moths are still active and all of them have a place in the well-managed garden. Keep the birdbaths full. Trim flowers off tropical non-native milkweeds, or better yet, replace with a species that is native to your area.
Consider replacing a few more high-water-use ornamental plants with those that thrive on less water. Consider creating a seasonal garden, including some plants that are dormant in summer.
Is that a new idea to you? Growing to understand and work with our particular climate is part of our role as gardeners of a true California garden. It's a lot easier than fighting against weather, lack of water and wildlife.
Have a great September!

The large gardens of Villa Cardi are located on various levels which are connected through stairs and fountain features, the panoramic views extend as far as the Adriatic coast, the Gran Sasso mountains and over the valley of the river Tronto. Tall trees and cypresses adorn the garden and have been used for the typical ´capanna´s´, farmhand shelters, which are also found in other parts of the region in lemon groves and the forests of Roccolo.
The neoclassical villa is characterized by a large mask of travertine on top of the main façade and relief with two cupids supporting a garland underneath.
Next to the Villa, now in use as a holiday residence, are the Fattoria, the farm, the cellars, the Bigattiera (where silk worms were cultivated) and the granary, located in a dominant position such as to supervise the work that took place in the fields and in the different buildings of the farm. Just above, towards Spinetoli, you can see l’Oratorio , a chapel dedicated to S. Rocco. In the interior you will find neoclassical frescoes and a panel with the date of construction of the first nucleus in 1797.
After careful restoration of the farm complex, which was finalized in 2015, three elegant holiday residences were built, the "Villa Cardi Apartments", "The Wild One", "The Thistle" and "The Basset Hound".
Olive oil extra vergine "Azienda Agricola Villa Cardi"
The hilly olive groves of the Villa Cardi farm, have an ancient vocation for the production of quality olive oil, located south of the Marche in the province of Ascoli Piceno, in the Municipalities of Spinetoli and Monsampolo, close to the Valle del Tronto, in a lush valley where oil has always been the pride of peasant culture.
The extra virgin olive oil of "Azienda Agricola Villa Cardi" is extracted using the "continuous" method that uses the new centrifuge extraction system, allowing the typically fruity and spicy variety that is at the basis of this particular climate and soil environment, the agro-techniques and the tradition of oil extraction that determines a typical and high quality oil.
The excellent result is also determined by the varieties used such as Leccino, Frantoio, Carboncella and Tenera Ascolana that create different and unique nuances and aromas. | agronomy |

But it’s more than just a delicious natural sweetener. This liquid gold is a testament to the beauty of nature and the intricate dance between bees and orange blossoms. In this blog, we’ll embark on a sweet journey to unravel the secrets of orange blossom honey – what it is, the “orange blossom honey benefits,” and the delightful ways it can be incorporated into your life. So, let’s explore the world of orange blossom honey and discover the nectar of the citrus groves.
What Is Orange Blossom Honey?
Orange blossom honey is a variety of monofloral honey produced from the nectar and pollen of flowering orange trees.
Orange blossom honey is most often produced in blooming orchards with a dense population of orange trees that can provide enough nectar and pollen to support a generous yield.
Though orange blossom honey is commonly described as a monofloral honey, it is extremely common for bees to mix-in the nectars of other local, in bloom citrus species such as grapefruit, lemon, mandarin, tangerine, and lime.
Citrus blossoms are a favorite nectar and pollen source for bees that they store and use to live off during the colder winter months.
(Read more about the unique avocado honey – in a new tab.)
So, What Constitutes Orange Blossom Honey?
To be considered a variety of orange blossom honey, a pollen count of orange citrus must be twenty-percent or higher. This is partly due to the concentration of other citrus fruits and plants in range to the bees during pollination.
Sometimes, if the concentrations of other citrus fruits are too high, the honey may be labeled as citrus honey. This is common in Italy, where bees regularly gather the nectar of clementines, bergamot, or a mixture of lemon, mandarin, bergamot, and citron.
To ensure that the bees gather nectar mostly from orange blossoms and not from other neighboring plants and flowers, beekeepers will go through great lengths to keep their yield monofloral.
Most often, beekeepers will set up their apiaries in areas that are densely populated with orange blossoms. Farmers and beekeepers may also assist with the pollination process by relocating honey bees to an orange grove that is in bloom.
Orange blossom honey is produced in warmer climates such as France, Spain, Israel, Mexico, and Italy. However, it is also popular in the United States and is predominantly produced in Florida, Texas, and California.

Orange Blossom Honey Health Benefits
Rich Source Of Antioxidants
Orange blossom honey is a rich source of antioxidants that includes several flavonoids such as quercetin, hesperetin, luteolin, galangin, naringenin, isorhamnetin, and kaempferol.
Studies show that consuming a diet rich in flavonoids can reduce one’s risk of developing metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer.
Like other types of honey, orange blossom honey contains antimicrobial properties that can heal wounds, treat infections, and prevent bacterial growth.
Orange blossom honey’s antimicrobial nature is also beneficial for treating upper respiratory tract infections. In addition to reducing the number of bacteria, its viscous consistency calms and protects the throat lining.
Soothes Inflammation & Irritation
Orange blossom honey contains an antioxidant compound known as quercetin. In scientific studies, this flavonoid has been shown to improve mental and physical health due to its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties.
Orange blossom honey is also known to support intestinal health by calming inflammation and irritation.
This soothing property may even help reduce and prevent acid reflux by coating the linings of the esophagus and stomach and preventing indigestion and the upward flow of undigested food and stomach acid.
Raw orange blossom honey is full of vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients that benefit one’s health.
Orange blossom honey contains a mineral content composed of essential nutrients like boron, manganese, calcium, selenium, copper, zinc, potassium, and sodium.
Though the amounts of each nutrient will vary slightly depending on the location where the honey was gathered and other specifics relating to a batch of honey.
One of the most exciting qualities of orange blossom honey is its caffeine content, which is not found in any other variety of honey.
However, the caffeine content is less than four milligrams per kilogram of honey, a ratio that is considerably less than a cup of decaf coffee.

Orange Blossom Honey vs Clover Honey
Clover honey is the most common variety of honey and is likely the honey you see most often during your visits to the grocery store.
Clover honey comes from the nectar of several clover varieties: Dutch, sweet, white blossom, and yellow blossom clovers. Most of the time, clover honey is a blend of several different clover varieties. It is common to see clover honey as a processed honey.
Orange blossom honey is typically a raw honey that comes from the nectar of citrus plants, most commonly orange. This liquid gold is meticulously harvested from the fragrant nectar of citrus blossoms, primarily orange trees. The result is a honey that captures the essence of sunny groves, offering a floral and citrusy sweetness as vibrant as the orchards.
Orange blossom and clover are similar in color as both are typically light in color, varying from clear water white to light golden amber. Both are mild and sweet in flavor, though orange blossom does boast a hint of citrus.
Orange blossom and clover honey are widely accessible and can be used in many different recipes to sweeten both food and drink.
Orange Blossom Honey vs Regular Honey
What is often referred to as “regular” honey is traditionally processed, pasteurized honey that has been heated to high temperatures that remove most of the honey’s intrinsic health properties.
In contrast, orange blossom honey retains all these valuable components, especially in its raw form. This makes it a healthier and more nutritious choice, offering both sweetness and a range of potential health benefits.
Unlike processed honey (which contains significantly less propolis, bee pollen, antioxidants, and more), raw orange blossom honey will retain all of the beneficial compounds that make it an effective natural treatment and superfood.
In conclusion, orange blossom honey is a remarkable gift from nature for its deliciously sweet flavour and numerous health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, antimicrobial properties, and soothing effects, this honey variety is a versatile and nutritious addition to your diet. It’s a testament to the incredible diversity of honey and how its source can influence its properties. Whether you choose it for its health advantages or the unique hint of citrus, orange blossom honey is a true gem among nature’s sweet offerings. So, savour its flavour and nourish your health with this delightful gift from the orange groves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Orange Blossom Honey Taste Like?
Orange blossom honey has a mild, delicate, sweet flavor with subtle hints of citrus fruit. Its sweetness lends it to be a great baking honey that can be used in citrus-infused muffins, cookies, or breads.
Orange blossom honey is also delicious to sweeten teas and coffee or drizzled on top of oatmeal, pancakes, and yogurt.
What Does Orange Blossom Honey Look Like?
The color of orange blossom honey can vary from pale, light gold to darker amber. Some bee experts believe that the purer the orange blossom honey is, the lighter its color should be. Orange blossom honey is also rich and has a viscous consistency.
How Is Orange Blossom Honey Produced?
Once the honeybees gather the nectar from the flowering orange blossoms, the nectars combine with an enzyme in the bees’ mouth known as invertase.
From there, they will deposit the nectar at the hive, where the bees will adjust the nectar’s water content and convert it into honey. Orange blossom honey typically has a water content that’s below twenty percent.
What Is Orange Blossom Honey Used For?
Orange blossom honey makes a fantastic dietary supplement due to its high levels of antioxidants and beneficial nutrients.
Can You Eat Too Much Orange Blossom Honey?
Like other types of sugar, eating too much orange blossom (though it is natural) can disrupt the gastrointestinal system causing pain, bloating, constipation, and discomfort.
Overeating sugar will also spike your blood sugar levels and could lead to unhealthy weight gain.
Is Orange Blossom Honey Expensive?
Orange blossom is one of the most affordable types of raw honey and one of the most accessible. Purity standards do influence the price of orange blossom honey.
Does Orange Blossom Honey Crystalize?
Orange blossom honey tends to crystalize more quickly than other honey types due to its high glucose content. If your orange blossom honey crystallizes, place the sealed jar in a bath of warm water to break down the crystals and restore them to their liquid state. | agronomy |

KWS y Bayer otorgan la primera licencia de remolacha tolerante a herbicida a SESVanderHave
KWS SAAT SE y Bayer AG han licenciado a largo plazo su nuevo sistema de cultivo CONVISO® SMART para remolacha a la compañía belga de semillas de remolacha SESVanderHave. La tecnología se basa en la producción de variedades de remolacha tolerantes a los herbicidas tipo inhibidores ALS con un control de malezas de amplio espectro.
CONVISO® SMART system will give farmers a new option to make sugarbeet cultivation easier, more flexible in terms of the window for herbicide application and at the same time more environmentally compatible. The technology will initially be available next year primarily to farmers in eastern and northern Europe and will then be launched in other key markets such as Germany, France and Poland from 2019/2020.
“The agreement with SESVanderHave is the first license that KWS and Bayer have granted for this new cultivation system. Further licenses of CONVISO® SMART are set to follow,” says Sabine Stolz, Global Segment Manager Soy, Oilseed Rape and Sugar Beet Herbicide at Crop Science. “We want as many breeders for this technology as possible. If major seed providers work together to advance this technology, many farmers will be able to benefit from its advantages. With SESVanderHave, we now have a strong partner with many years of experience in sugarbeet breeding and cultivation, who will be able to make a crucial contribution in this regard.” “We are happy reaching an agreement with Bayer and KWS providing access to the CONVISO® SMART technology,” explains Rob van Tetering, CEO of SESVanderHave. “We shall be introducing our hybrids with CONVISO® SMART technology into the market soon. This new technology will allow sugarbeet growers and sugar industry to be more efficient and competitive against sugar cane and other crops.“Dr. Peter Hofmann, member of the Executive Board of KWS adds: “CONVISO® SMART is a real innovation for sugarbeet cultivation allowing weed control with lower herbicide volumes and reduced application frequency. We want to allow all breeders to have access to this technology. Ongoing research efforts are needed to keep sugarbeet at the top of competitiveness among all sweeteners. Good weed resistance management is vital to maintain the benefits of the system in the long term. We will engage all key stakeholders, such as sugarbeet research institutes and advisory services, to ensure the achievement of this goal.”The new sugarbeet plants have a naturally occurring change in an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of essential amino acids. During development, sugarbeets with this spontaneously changed enzyme were specifically selected and used for further breeding. | agronomy |

To have the capability to harvest vegetables albeit a modest amount from unfavorable soil conditions (for which I am responsible) is still a victory similar to experiencing a wonderful weekend with an old friend set against the backdrop of quite possibly a wretched work week.
When the feelings of pleasure and happiness from the positive experience surpass the effects of the unavoidable losses, count yourself blessed. If they don’t, the season isn’t over. Keep tilling (or add some compost).
It’s amazing how hopeful and exciting it is in the spring to plan your garden. There’s so much potential and you tell yourself: this is the year! You decide to grow a new vegetable or you’ve learned a new tip/trick from last summer that you can’t wait to implement or both! You envision a beautiful, lush garden with ripened fruit. So pastoral. Your yield is so impressive, in fact, that you’re practically giving away your harvest.
A girl can dream, right….?
I’ve recently concluded, at least in my case, that planting multiples of a crop is not with the intent to increase yield. You’d think so, wouldn’t you? (I wanted to get on this sustainability bandwagon, really I did. Canning, preserving, the whole nine.) Well, not so in my case. I have to plant multiples of one crop merely to ensure the ability to harvest an acceptable supply (okay, it’s not even acceptable) to feed my family. Why? Because I stink at gardening! (Bear with me while I have a pity-party for myself.) You see, YouTube, garden blogs and Pinterest provide us with a wealth of information on how to deter pests, increase yield, produce sweeter, larger _____. And all of those tips are filed in the Rolodex of my mind (or I pin it for reference later). But how I take all those tips and tricks, synthesize them and utilize them in the garden is where I fall short.
I said it last year and I’ll say it again: maybe I’m being too cerebral about gardening. As I glance over to my neighbor’s plot, I am green-with-garden envy. Everything seems so…productive. And I can see a lonely red tomato itching to be picked amidst abundant leafy plants. So here are my current headaches and the interventions (and preventions) I’ve taken:
This is the third year in a row (haha-pun!) that my tomatoes have developed early blight. As they grew, I continued to snap off the lower branches so they wouldn’t touch the ground. Now, with each passing day, I’m snipping another branch off that is consumed with dark brown spots and dried dead leaves. This weekend, I impulsively bought some organic fungicide to hopefully halt any further progression of this spotted, wilted pandemic.
Next year’s plan? Rotate my crops. I should have known! My tomatoes will be on the opposite end of my raised beds come next year and hopefully far away from any fungal potential….On the bright side, look at these beautiful clusters dying (probably) to ripen!
My continued lack of success with growing peppers is putting a damper on my confidence to become a gardener. I’m lucky to harvest a couple before the season ends. I learned for this season though that peppers flourish when grown closely together and that you can plant them within 1 sq. ft. of each other. Of course, I wound up planting my green bean plants too close to the peppers which has stunted the pepper growth. Additionally, I side-dressed the pepper plants with some compost not too long ago and spurred the growth of more leaves and not flowers. Peppers don’t require a lot of nitrogen in the soil, but it is recommended to spray the flowers with a solution of water and Epsom salt. It provides the peppers with a boost of magnesium that is needed to produce fruit.
Don’t get me started about my eggplants either! Flea beetles have ravaged the leaves on my plants like bullet holes at a shooting range and all I have is one sad developing fruit. Any flower that grew has fallen off. My neighbor utilized diatomacious earth for her garden this year because she was having ant problems. Diatomacious earth is a powder made from fossilized prehistoric crustaceans. It’s favored in the organic garden because it is non-toxic and safe for humans. The particles have sharp edges that cut into the bodies of the insects causing them to die of dehydration. Cruel, I know, but what am I to do? Originally, I read something about it not harming the beneficial insects in the garden (ladybugs, bees), but I recently learned this isn’t true.
No wonder my flowers are falling off: lack of pollination. I swear I cannot strike this nature balance!
The steps you take to make eggplant parmigiana (well, reader, you know I won’t be posting that recipe anytime soon)…
So is it all worth the frustration and the mounting fear of failure?
It sure is. Even if all I harvest is just a few things at a time. I can say, “I grew that and I plan to make something delicious with it!”
My experience with gardening has seemed to become taking two steps forward and one step back. I’m always making progress through the mastery of a few skills, but seemingly at the expense of another. One summer my harvest is bountiful with summer squash and the following I’m purchasing the fruits of another’s labor at the farmer’s market (darn you, squash borers!).
Sure, it’s like that for any gardener and maybe that’s part of the enjoyment of it (though I’m not doing this for my health, peeps….okay, maybe I am). But don’t we all want something successful to come from our efforts? And consistently, for that matter? Absolutely!
I made a valiant attempt this year to grow my own plants from seeds (got them here). It’s so exciting to see little seedlings sprout in March before the weather conditions allow anything viable to grow outside. There’s so much potential and promise in those tiny seeds. And it’s a welcoming reminder that warm weather will soon be upon us.
So everything was off to a great start! Herbs, summer squashes, cucumbers, three varieties of tomatoes and even brussel sprouts were on their way! Until they weren’t. And everything started to shrivel. I couldn’t figure it out. It’s not like the transplants were root-bound from being confined to a small pot. The root system wasn’t developed at all! Not enough water, maybe? Ah well, I remedied what I could (only the cucumbers, tomatoes, basil and oregano survived) and planted the rest directly in the ground from seed. Fortunately, everything took hold, but at a slower pace than I had hoped. So here we are with it:
Hopefully soon I’ll be posting my culinary experiences from veggies I’ve harvested in my own garden! Stay tuned! | agronomy |

And gardening above ground gives you absolute control over the soil texture and ingredients in those beds. You can incorporate your Houston “gumbo” into the mix if you want, but you don’t have to.
Get Best Garden Cart Review Services.
Most raised garden beds are contained within a wood or stone structure but they don’t have to be. The beds can be free form or you can build traditional box-type beds. You can plant anything from herbs and vegetables to perennials, shrubs and trees in a raised bed.
My husband decided he needed a hobby and settled on a “Gentleman’s Garden” of fruit trees. He was able to plant some of the trees directly into our Houston “gumbo,” but there were others that needed to be planted above ground. The “raised bed” for each of those trees is nothing but a circular mound of dirt in which the roots were planted.
In addition to improving drainage, gardening is raised beds comes with additional perks:
The soil in raised garden beds warms more quickly in the spring and allows you to work the soil and plant earlier.
The soil in raised beds doesn’t get compacted from foot traffic if you’ve constructed them with accessibility in mind. Less compaction means better water and air circulation for your plants.
You can custom mix the soil for the plants you plan to grow there. You can give acid loving plants an acidic soil mix and vegetables a balanced pH mix.

After the initial construction work is done, raised beds will require less maintenance than conventional garden beds.
There are a variety of materials from which to choose for constructing your raised beds. Wood is a very popular choice because it is easy to work with. You can use cedar or pressure treated lumber. I opted for pressure treated lumber to keep the cost down then applied a deck stain and sealer later to make the beds look like cedar.
Concrete blocks, natural stone, and bricks are also good options for raised beds, but come with added expense as well as labor. We had lots of leftover brick from the construction of our house, so I opted to use them to make raised flower beds in front (photo, below).
Free Form Raised Garden BedIf you live in a rental home or are unsure of where you want to permanently install your garden beds, you can use bales of hay or straw to build temporary garden beds. Place them in whatever configuration you want, fill them with a good soil mix and plant your plants.
The bales of straw will only last a year, but they might be worth using if you’re interested in a short term or non-permanent solution.
However you choose to build them, raised garden beds are the key to improving drainage in Houston soils. | agronomy |

About a month ago I bought some avocados because they do not grow in my region. I had read that you can grow an avocado as a houseplant. It will not produce fruit because it is not hardy here, but it can make a beautiful tree, house plant in your home.
I simply took the seed out of the avocado I bought and soaked it in water for a week. I then planted it in potting soil. Two weeks later it finally sprouted! I gave it a good rinse and planted in back in potting soil. I am anxious to see it grow into a beautiful plant! | agronomy |

Once you have define your plot and decided what to grow in addition to how, it’s time for you to populate your story and start increasing. Nevertheless , simply planting vegetable plants directly into the ground and waiting for those to delivery fresh create is not enough. Different vegetables like different conditions and some need to know more nurturing than others. Below are some quick suggestions about getting the best out regarding just a few popular types.
There will be no better appear than the appear of a juicy excess fat pea pod unfolding accessible to reveal those first few peas involving the year. Intended for me peas are the garden’s sweets plus its a wonder that will any make it back in my home at all! When rising peas make positive you dig typically the soil well plus work in plenty of manure before planting, as peas like rich moisture-retentive soil. Mulching around the base of every plant and regular watering will in addition help them through dry out spells of climate that they can dislike. Primary sowing outside will depend on spot but is generally between early in addition to mid-spring. But help make sure the earth has warmed upwards sufficiently first. Peas needs to be well recognized with sticks or stakes, allowing great space for the particular pods to develop in the plants. Peas are a favorite of birds therefore it might be the good idea to be able to protect young plants with chicken wire or plastic coming up. Harvest the pods regularly to make sure they will are at their particular most fresh in addition to use or freeze as required.
I would likely always recommend growing runner beans to be able to those with little experience of growing vegetables. They will be easy to grow and even require little work. read more are great and even yield a major crop over a lengthy period of time. Runner beans have got only three key requirements – profoundly dug soil, plenty of well rotted manure and many involving water. To grow runner beans you need a good support system. High bamboo obelisks or strong hazel stays will make the ideal structure for these people to climb upwards. Make sure you put your buy-ins in early and secure them well – it’s amazing how strong these crops can become when laden with espresso beans! Sow the seed products indoors in early on to mid-spring and the young plants can then be planted out in the bottom of every upright support on early summer. Pinch the actual growing ideas after they reach typically the top with the assistance structure so the crops don’t become top- heavy. Select the pods when they are usually aged before these people swell as more mature pods can be stringy.
A person just can’t beat the tangy sweet style of fresh tomato vegetables straight from the vine. You can easily grow tomatoes within your greenhouse, within a grow-bag or inside the garden. I choose to grow them within the greenhouse as you are assured the crop due to the fact the plants will be not so dependent upon the weather. Avoid bother growing garlic from seed, they will can be difficult and you always end up with far even more plants than you can use or give way, but buy compact plants. Gardener’s Pleasure is a perfect selection of mine. This kind of variety produces an abundance of tiny cherry tomatoes which might be very sweet and even juicy. Pinch out the growing tip associated with plants once that they have produced several or six healthy looking fruit-bearing area shoots. Water and even feed your garlic well and these people will reward you all summer very long.
For that veg gardener, potatoes are generally an easy plants to grow that will can be trusted to produce the good crop. In case you don’t include the room to cultivate both early types and a maincrop, then my advice would be to stick to be able to early salad types. There is absolutely nothing more satisfying than looking up the first summer season salad potatoes plus eating them together with a good dollop of butter. Seeds potatoes need to be able to be chitted before they can be planted out. That will is getting them to be able to sprout short golf course shoots. Begin planting potatoes from early on to mid-spring. Typically the best way is to dig a trench. Handle just about every potato carefully thus as not to knock off any kind of shoots and vegetable to a depth associated with about 15cm, using 30cm between each one potato. As soon as the sets appear over a surface start the earthing-up by raking the particular soil around and over them in order to make a ridge. This prevents the tubers becoming exposed to be able to the light plus turning green that makes them poisonous. Water young plants effectively to ensure a new heavy crop regarding tubers. Beware of eliminato blight which may be the particular problem found in warm wet summer months and definitely will ruin a new crop. Harvesting typically the first potatoes is definitely like digging intended for treasure. The harvest is ready once the plants have flowered. Choose a comfortable dry day plus scrape away a new little of the soil to look at is the tubers are usually just right. Leave the tubers exposed in order to the air for a few hours to enable them to dry out off. This can make them easier to store. | agronomy |

DURBAN, South Africa (Dec.12 2011)—The Kyoto Protocol survived the United Nations’ climate change conference (COP 17/CMP 7) in Durban, which ended Sunday by also opening the door to major advances towards increased food security and more animal welfare-friendly, equitable, and environmentally sustainable agricultural systems.
Humane Society International worked with its partners in the Ecosystems Climate Alliance to call attention to the underlying causes of deforestation and forest degradation. Animal agriculture is a leading cause of deforestation; over 70 percent of deforested land in the Amazon is now devoted to grazing and feed crop production for farm animals. The conference concluded with a decision asking governments and other stakeholders to submit suggestions for addressing the drivers of deforestation, with the aim of incorporating them into the mechanism on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+).
In addition to the new window for HSI to call for humane solutions to animal agriculture’s impact on deforestation, COP 17 resulted in a new forum to address the issue of agriculture and climate change, which HSI will use to discourage the industrialization of farm animal production, or factory farming. Meeting the call of numerous influential, international civil society organizations, including HSI, parties signed an agreement to finally put agriculture within the UN climate convention process. The decision calls on submissions from countries and stakeholder organizations on agriculture, with the aim of making a further decision based on this at next year’s COP in Qatar. This creates a timeline and opportunity for environmental, animal protection, rural development, and other social justice groups to have a greater voice in climate and agricultural policy at local, national and international levels.
“Now the real work begins,” said Geoff Evans, HSI’s Animal Agriculture and Climate Change Specialist. “Moving forward, individual governments must implement policies and financial mechanisms that prioritize smallholder and sustainable farmers, who hold the key to improving food security, as well as to the well-being of communities and farm animals.” HSI and its partners will continue to work with governments and international institutions to further these goals.
For more information on HSI’s work and research relating to animal agriculture and climate change, please visit hsi.org/climatechange. As individuals, we do not have to wait for policymakers to act. Each of us can reduce our contribution to climate change by reducing our consumption of meat, eggs, and milk.
- Globally, approximately 67 billion land animals are raised for food each year.
- A 2006 FAO report stated that animal agriculture already accounts for nearly one fifth of all human-induced GHG emissions globally.
- Worldwide, industrial systems now account for approximately two-thirds of egg and poultry meat production and over half of pig meat production. | agronomy |

It is a fast growing tree widely appreciated for it’s high nutritional value, believed to be the highest of any plant in the world. The fact that it’s so highly nutritious and able to grow in relatively dry conditions have moved it into the focus of several countries, formulating their development strategies around this amazing plant. A process africrops! and its employees have been supporting and getting increasingly involved in.
Moringa oleifera is a plant with many uses. It’s not only the highly nutritious leaves which can be utilised. One of the first people to appreciate the plant, where English colonisers in India, who valued the roots of the plant for its spicy flavour, reminiscent of horseradish. A reason why it is still widely referred to as the horseradish tree today.
Apart from the leaves the most used part of the plant are the seeds, which can be found in the long, drumstick-like pods, which gave the tree its name as the “drumstick tree”. The seeds can be eaten raw, tasting sweet at first and turning bitter as one chews and has a range of nutritional benefits of its own and are ascribed strong detoxifying properties. When grinding up the seeds, this property can even be used to clean polluted water and make it drinkable again, simply by letting it sit in the same water. The seeds are very popular due to the high-quality oil (ben-oil) which can be gained by pressing them. This oil is completely without a smell of its own and never coagulates. These properties used to be highly valued in the production of perfumes and for the greasing of fine machinery, such as mechanical watches, but it has now been mostly replaced by artificial alternatives. Ben-oil has however nowadays been rediscovered for new uses. It is very popular as a hypo-allergenic skin and hair care product, as well as massage oil, due to its many vitamins (including vitamin E) and antioxidants. It’s mild and slightly nutty taste have also made it very popular for cooking, in particular for making salad dressing.
Another part of the Moringa oleifera plant which can be used are the leaves. While they are not as nutrient-rich as the leaves or the seeds, they still contain various nutrients. This, as well as its cucumber-reminiscent taste and smell, make this part of the plant very popular for teas. As its taste is very mild it is also great to mix with other teas. | agronomy |

Over a few years, his mill became something of a landmark for many other olive growers and oil producers of the town, who trusted Antonio and greatly appreciated the way he pressed and processed their olives so that Antonio’s hard work became not only a real business, but also something of a sheer passion, which has always characterised, and which still distinguishes, all the members of the Lovascio family who have in turn managed and currently run the firm.
Over the years the brand “Lovascio” has became synonymous of quality.
At the end of the eighties a new generational shift in the company sees the entry of the sons Serafina, Domenico and Alessandro ready to face the exciting challenge of globalization.
Now in its third generation of mill entrepreneurs , the brothers Lovascio, in the old tradition of their town, Bitonto, in which the processing of olives is a real art, they continue to carry on the family business founded by his grandfather Antonio and inherited from his father Francesco.
With enthusiasm and determination they bring the company to place itself well in the domestic market, achieving a commercial success ever wider. Product quality, aim pursued with persevering attention for forty years by his father Francesco, has always been the guiding principle of production. This is possible thanks to a careful selection of the origin and variety of olives, methods of collecting, directly from the trees, their processing in the next 12 hours and squeezing rigorously cold.
Added to this, there is the experience developed in tasting the oils so that to select only those that can keep intact over time the strength and the scents of the oils of their own land. | agronomy |

This is the first time I’ve planted these. They were a present from my mother a year ago. I was saving them for a suitable spot.
We used to live in Richmond, and mum and I often go back there. It’s a truly beautiful spot, especially along by the river. You can walk to London. Not now though, due to Covid-19. I’m missing this spot a great deal right now, and planting these flowers has helped me to feel better about not being able to drive over, visit mum and my sisters (who I miss more than the scenery), and maybe even go for a walk or a bike ride.
Here are some photos and a video of me planting and weeding today to inspire you. It’s a good time to remove dead wood and get some weeding done ready for the spring bluebells.
- Dip the cuttings in water and rooting powder
- Plant in the spring and put the pot outside.
- Water daily.
- Plant out when roots show in around 3 weeks where there is room to grow or move once you have a few Inches grow; this takes around 8 months.
- In around 2 to 3 years you’ll have a healthy plant.

We were very lucky this winter to have some glorious days of sunshine with temperatures up in the late teens.
This was followed by a cold snap when temperatures dropped to minus figures...followed again by days of warm weather.
The past week has seen gale force winds, rain and storms. We had terrific storms here for the last two nights which prevented us from sleeping. So loud was the thunder, it was like bombs exploding.
The torrential rain continues this morning. The winds have whipped up to gale force again and we now have hailstones, some of which are the size of golf balls. The wind has blown them with such a force at the windows, that if they weren't double glazed, I'm pretty sure they would have been smashed.
I'm snuggled up in bed under the duvet. There's little point in doing anything else. Mr A, however, hates being confined to the house, and he has started another project. He is landscaping (I use the term very loosely) the garden. The wooden fence along the driveway, which he built from scratch last year, has come down. This opens up the bottom level in front of the house, and there will be steps down to this area. When the weather is dry again, he is going to crazy pave the entire area, and eventually build a sturdy gazebo.
In the meantime, the wooden fence has been transformed into wooden frames, which will have chicken wire attached and will run around the entire garden, along the top of the dry stone wall which he rebuilt. Most of the work is being done in his shed, and the fencing will be erected if the rain ever stops.
The top end of the garden will be fully enclosed with chicken wire, and the chicken house is sitting there waiting for inhabitants. The end result will be a garden which prevents Poppy and chickens from escaping (whilst keeping them apart) and will stop other dogs, cats, sheep and chickens from coming into the garden.
It keeps Mr A occupied...and at least stops him building any more shelves! | agronomy |

Friends In Our Community:
Now entering its 15th year, the Phoenixville Farmers’ Market is a vibrant grower/producer only market that was established to build community in Phoenixville, bring fresh food to the downtown, and support local agriculture. All providers must make or grow what they sell and must be licensed as required.
As an established market, we have a wonderful group of farmers and artisan food producers. We seek only farmers whose products:
- * offer something different than those already offered
- * are nutritious, healthful and use local, sustainable ingredients
We do not have any spots for vegetable growers for the 2016 season.
On the Second Saturday of each month, the Market hosts local artists. Preferred artists use natural materials to create useful items such as pottery, wooden bowls, baskets, table linens, birdhouses, etc.
Thanks for your interest in the Market! | agronomy |

3 – 1.5 Liter Shafer Vineyards Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon (1 each: 2013, 2014 and 2015)
From Shafer Vineyards in Napa Valley, created and stored with passion.
Most of the world’s great wines have the same qualities in common. They’re grown on hillsides with a south-facing exposure. The soil is usually poor, which forces the vine’s roots down into the subsoil in a search for nutrients. And because of the steep slopes, the drainage tends to be naturally regulated and close to ideal.
All those qualities describe the 14 vineyard blocks on Shafer's Hillside Estate Vineyards that grow the grapes for Hillside Select. The vineyards were planted at the direction of the late John Shafer in the 1970s, requiring dynamite to clear truck-sized boulders and prepare the land for cultivation. John’s son Doug began a program of sustainable agriculture in the 1980s, planting cover crops, attracting predators to control the rodent population and enriching the thin topsoil on an annual basis.
The lucky winning bidder will receive Magnums of three recent vintages representing the quality apex of Hillside Select. Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is aged in new French oak barrels for 32 months and rested in bottle for another year before release. Bold and aromatic, structured yet nuanced, these remarkable wines will drink well for decades to come.
INSIDER’S INFO: Wine will be shipped directly to the winning bidder from Shafer Vineyards.
