A couple of weeks ago it seemed the COVID pandemic was weakening somewhat, but meanwhile many countries and areas are turning to orange or red.
Not only in Europe, but also in the producing countries. For this reason the supply chain may be possibly disrupted again, when workers cannot reach the factories or logistic problems will get more serious.
In California the fires are making live rather complicated next to the COVID problems and some sources reporting this may affect part of the crops, as sun drying is getting difficult with the smoke hiding the sun.
In this scenario it might be advisable to cover part of your needs with partners who are able to keep buffer stocks, so your supply chain will be safeguarded.
On the demand side it is difficult to assess the consequences of the pandemic. People need food!
However there can be a switch again from out-of-home markets to retail if lock-downs are imposed again.
Also the income of people may decrease, which will make them choose for other type – more basic – products.
We fear we will have to cope with this, both in business and in our daily lives, for at least the remainder of 2020.
In the transition to the new crop from China, we notice a rather tight situation for spot material with increasing prices.
The new crop prices from China seem to be slightly above last year’s levels. First shipment will do a premium.
Due to heavy rains in some areas especially the Qinguan variety suffered from extreme apple dropping, which might have reduced the crop.
However it is difficult – in spite of ‘convincing’ video’s – to assess how local or widespread this has been the case.
The Turkish Lira is rather volatile lately, with changes of up to 2% at certain days. Since September first the trend is downwards again with a loss to date of about 6% against the US-dollar.
The purchasing program of the governmental TMO has pushed prices up and exporters had to pay more to the farmers in order to get material to process.
Prices remain well above the crop 2019 levels. Farmers – with the support of the TMO threshold – feel pretty confident they can cash whenever needed and are not forced to sell lower to the commercial parties.
Prices have firmed considerably. The prices of the green bananas are the highest in 20 years!
The situation in the Philippines is rather dramatic due to the COVID-19 lockdowns.
A part of the workers cannot come to the factories and in combination and on top the logistic system is disrupted.
Not only domestically, but also the sea-going vessels suffer from irregular schedules.
As a result some shippers even abstain from offering, where other do but some only for shipments March ’21 onwards!
An odd container is offered for a somewhat swifter sailing, but of course against a ‘luxury’ price.
Now drying has started it is rather sure the crop will be 20% down on last year’s quantity. The quality seems to be very good, due to high temperatures.
Prices at the moment stable in anticipation of the demand for the Christmas period.
End of the month it will be more clear how big the pineapple crop will be. First report speak about a bigger crop.
However the backlog in the supply chain is rather substantial, so we may see some relief not before Q1-2021.
The other fruits – except ginger which has increased tremendously- are pretty stable at the moment.
Chile is really sold with small fruits. Anything smaller than 50/60 is hard to get if at all available, depending on the shipper.
With still half a year to go till the new crop from Chile will be shipped (plus at least a month sailing time) we foresee a serious shortage in Europe till the first arrivals in Q2-2021.
It is too early to say anything about the new crop, but with a likely very low carryout, first shipment may be in demand..
The Turkish sultana crop is almost in. Indeed the estimation of 271K by the Ministry of Agriculture seems not to be too far off the reality, as due to lower brix of the fruits, the yield is less than expected.
It will mean about 10% less than the crop 2019. In spite of the purchasing program of TMO, export prices are rather attractive due to the weak Turkish currency.
The Turkish industry is confident they may move this crop at these levels, as lower prices cause more demand is the simple economic law.
South-Africa has been able with the help of very attractive prices for Thompsons, to sell the excessive quantity of this variety. Remember at the beginning of the season contract were made with the clause: crop 2019/2020 in seller’s option, as the carry out of the crop ’19 was substantial. At the moment some goldens are left and some ‘special’ varieties.
Chile is the old story, with some ‘last’ containers of most varieties, which they want to sell before the new harvest.
California is heading for a serious smaller crop. Part of the cause is the smoke preventing the sun to shine on the drying fields.
Firmer prices may be expected and certainly now SA is sold as well, this seems to be a reasonable scenario.
Everybody has meanwhile digested the 780K figure for the Californian crop. Actually the prices anticipated already on a bumper crop since early summer.
For sure the number was more than expected and we saw some shippers discounting on the actual levels.
However the spot the market is pretty empty as a result of the wait-and-see attitude of the buyers, noticing the continuously decreasing prices.
Now realizing to wait was a good decision as replacement is cheaper, however with an empty warehouse it does not pay off.
So demand for the first shipments is actually strong, even more triggered by low prices we haven’t seen for a long time.
As a result Californian prices have recovered somewhat and it seems a bottom has been put in the market.
And we should not forget the way the Californians know how to move bumper crops as we have seen in the past! Not with lower prices…..
Chile is sold for about 70% and mainly the lower grades are still available. High end qualities remain high priced and did not follow the Californian prices. | agronomy |

How to Kill Weed Seeds in Soil [5 Easy Methods]
To kill weed seeds in soil you will have to apply one or more of the following methods:
- Heat soil to temperatures high enough to kill weeds seeds
- Force seeds to sprout and destroy growing weeds
- Apply chemical or natural weed killers that prevent weeds from sprouting
- Use flame weeding to destroy weeds and seeds at once
- Layer mulch in garden areas to suppress weed sprouting and attract insects that eat seeds
With this arsenal of tricks for killing weed seeds before they sprout, you can stop the spread of weeds in both your lawn and garden.

5 Tips for Killing Weed Seeds
Rather than spending time and effort battling weeds as they sprout, attack weeds at the source by killing weed seeds. Each of these methods destroys weed seeds, which ensures you won’t have to battle recurring weed invasions. Try these ways to get rid of weed seeds yourself.
Soil solarization is a very powerful method for killing weed seeds. Weed seeds begin to die if soil temperatures surpass 108 degrees, with full seed death ensured by soil surface temperatures of 140 degrees or more. Solarization uses clear plastic tarps to trap heat at the soil surface, killing weed seeds within the tarped area. To solarize an area, follow these steps:
- Clear the area of all vegetation through use of a hoe or other garden implement. Remove any woody stumps
- Till the soil to further break up any weed root systems left behind.
- Rake away all vegetation residue
- Water the tilled and cleared soil with a garden hose until it is damp.
- Lay a sheet of clear plastic over the area. Weigh it down tightly at the edges
- Leave the plastic in place for at least two months.
Solarization is the best method to reclaim a weedy garden or other area. It is a “clean slate” for your soil, because seeds will be destroyed by the solar heat trapped beneath the plastic.
It is typically tough to implement solarization in large areas and is not usually suitable for use in lawns, where you may want to preserve grass or other plants. Pre-emergent weed killers and flame weeding are much better for use in lawns.
Till and Kill
Weed seeds can lie dormant in soil for decades and are only “activated” when brought to within an inch of the surface. One method to rid soil of dormant weed seeds is to force these dormant seeds to sprout, then attack them with a powerful natural or chemical weed killer. To do this:
- In spring, till the affected area. Tilling brings dormant seeds to the surface
- Water the area for 1–2 weeks with a sprinkler or soaker hose
- When weeds begin to sprout, apply the weed killer of your choice
This is another “clean slate” method, where you force weed seeds to show themselves and then kill young weeds before they mature and cast seeds. Because of the invasive tilling step, it is not best used in areas with desirable grasses and plants.
Use Pre-Emergent Weed Killer
Pre-emergent weed killer stops weeds in their tracks. It works by attacking weed seeds just as they begin to germinate, killing them before they even poke above the surface. It’s a weed killer so good, the only sign it’s working is that there will be no new weeds at all.
Fate of weed seeds in the soil
The fate of weed seeds in the soil has been an area of much research in recent years. Most studies have focused on the seeds that successfully produce seedlings since these are the seeds that cause immediate problems for farmers. In most studies, annual emergence typically accounts for 1 to 30% of the weed seed in the soil. Thus, the majority of seeds found in the soil seed bank fail to produce seedlings in any given year. The fate of seeds that fail to germinate and emerge is poorly understood. While some of these seeds are simply dormant and will remain viable until the following year, others are lost due to decay or consumed by insects or small animals. This article will describe results of an experiment that monitored the fate of seeds for the first four years following introduction into the soil.
Methods: Seeds of velvetleaf, waterhemp, woolly cupgrass and giant foxtail were harvested from mature plants during the 1994 growing season. The seeds were cleaned and counted and then buried in the upper two inches of soil on October 21, 1994. Two thousand seeds were buried within a 3 sq ft frame to allow recovery during the course of the experiment. Weed emergence was determined by counting seedlings weekly during the growing season. Emerged seedlings were pulled by hand after counting. In the fall of each year one quarter of the soil within a frame was excavated and the remaining seeds were extracted and counted. Corn or soybeans were planted between the frames during the course of the experiment to simulate agronomic conditions.
Results: The emergence patterns of the four species were described in an earlier article (see emergence patterns). The fate of the seeds (emergence, loss or survival in soil) during the first four years after burial is shown in Figure 1. In the first year following burial waterhemp had the lowest emergence (5%) whereas greatest emergence was seen with woolly cupgrass (40%). Total emergence over the four years ranged from 300 seedlings (15% of seed) for waterhemp to 1020 seedlings (51%) for woolly cupgrass. More than three times as many seedlings emerged in the first year than in subsequent years for velvetleaf, woolly cupgrass and giant foxtail, whereas 140 waterhemp seedlings emerged in 1996 compared to only 100 in 1995.
Figure 1. Fate of seeds during the four years following burial in the upper two inches of soil. Two thousand seeds of each species were buried in the fall of 1994. The area in white represents the number of intact seeds present in the fall of each year, green represents the total number of seeds that produced seedlings during the four years, and the blue represents the total number of seeds lost. Buhler and Hartzler, 1999, USDA/ARS and ISU, Ames, IA.
Seeds of the two grass species were shorter lived than those of velvetleaf or waterhemp. At the end of the third year (1997) no grass seeds were recovered. Somewhat surprising is that waterhemp seed was more persistent than velvetleaf in this study. Velvetleaf has long been used as the example of a weed with long-lived seeds. In the fourth year of the study four times more waterhemp seedlings than velvetleaf emerged and four times more waterhemp seed than velvetleaf seed (240 vs 60) remained in the seed bank.
For all species except woolly cupgrass the majority of seeds were unaccounted for (the blue portion of the graph) in this experiment. Determining the fate of the ‘lost’ seeds is a difficult task. A seed basically is a storage organ of high energy compounds, thus they are a favorite food source of insects and other organisms. In natural settings more than 50% of seeds are consumed by animals. The importance of seed predation in agricultural fields is poorly understood, but recent studies have shown that predation can be a significant source of seed loss. Another important mechanism of seed loss likely is fatal germination. This occurs when a seed initiates germination but the seedling is killed before it becomes established. Fatal germination probably is more important with small-seeded weeds such as waterhemp and lambsquarters than with large-seeded weeds, but is poorly understood. A better understanding of the factors that influence seed losses might allow these processes to be manipulated in order to increase seed losses.
So what does this mean as far as managing weeds in Iowa. First, consider how the methods used in this experiment might influence the results. The seeds were buried in the upper two inches of soil, the zone most favorable for germination. Most long term studies investigating the persistence of seeds have buried the seeds at greater depths than used here in order to minimize germination. If the seeds were buried deeper one might expect less emergence and greater persistence since the seeds would be at a soil depth with less biological activity. If the seeds had been placed on the soil surface it is likely that there would be more predation, less emergence and shorter persistence.
The results indicate that the seed bank of giant foxtail and woolly cupgrass should be able to be depleted much quicker than that of the two broadleaves. Maintaining a high level of weed control for two years should greatly diminish populations of these weeds in future years and simplify weed management. Unfortunately, a single plant escaping control can produce more seed than was introduced to the soil in these experiments, thus the seed bank can be rapidly replenished any time weed control practices fail to provide complete control. Finally, over 50% of velvetleaf and waterhemp seed was lost in the first two years following burial. However, significant numbers of seed of these species remained four years after burial. This will make populations of these two species more stable over time than those of woolly cupgrass and giant foxtail.

Is Your Seed Dead or Alive – A Seed Viability Test
Whether you are planting a winter or upcoming spring crop, re-seeding or enhancing a stand of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE), or simply interested in seeing if a winter, spring or possible summer cover crop planting will help the overall health of your soil, it is important to make sure the seed you plan to use is viable.
A “Seed Tag” usually accompanies seed purchased from seed companies. This tag tells the buyer several things: 1) what variety and species is in the bag, 2) a lot number which tracks where the seed was produced, and 3) information such as the percent purity, percent inert material, percent weed seed, percent noxious weed seed and percent total germination.
Unfortunately, not all seed comes with a tag. Any seed that has been set aside from harvest to be planted for next year’s crop will not have this information. One- or two-year-old seed should be fine to plant, but what if a producer had some seed from 10+ years ago that they wanted to use?
Fortunately, there is a simple way to test seed viability.
You will need:
- A petri dish (plastic, shallow, flat, clear dish) or a ziplock bag
- A lid for the petri dish
- A paper towel
- Plastic wrap
Then, you’ll follow these five simple steps:
- Moisten a piece of paper towel with water and place it in the petri dish;
- Evenly place 10 or more seeds on the paper towel. You may want to fold the towel over the seeds so both sides of the seeds are moist;
- Place the lid on the dish and wrap tightly with plastic wrap;
- Place in a warm environment (i.e., kitchen counter); and
- Wait for 7 to 10 days, then check the dish for seeds that have visibly germinated (i.e., sprouted) and count them.
The percentage of germinating seed also known as pure live seed (PLS) will give you a fairly good idea how that same seed should perform when planted provided the seed receives adequate moisture. Adjust seeding rates based on the percentage of germinating the seed.
Species: Eltan WW
Desired seeding rate: 12 seeds/ft row or 50 lbs. /A on 12-inch spacing (St. Andrews Variety Trial Seeding Rate)
The seeding rate of bulk seed: 50/0.80 = 55.5 pounds of bulk seed
Therefore, you will need an additional 5.5 lbs/acre of seed to reach either the desired 12 seeds/ft row or 50 lbs/acre based on a PLS of 80%.
For help with converting lbs/acre to seeds/ft row, lbs/acre to seeds/acre or vice versa for both, please visit our Crop Tools & Calculators page and check out the Seeding Rate Converter calculator.

As someone who has been involved within aquaponics since 2007 and having studied aquaculture and environmental management, I am passionate about breaking down aquaponics into a simple and easy concept for you to both understand and implement into your home.
Helping you to confidently build your own aquaponics system and keep it running in a healthy, sustainable and affordable
Commonly aquaponics is taught by men, for men using large power tool and building big systems.
It hasn't been accessible for those with small hand power tools, wanting to build smaller systems and keep it simple.
To keep it simple, building aquaponics systems with drills and a hand jigsaw (like an iron, but cuts things) and keeping aquaponics simple and easy to understand, build and care for.
Now, thanks to Candy making it easy, we have healthy vegetables growing in the tiny, cement area".
"There is such a difference in taste between the food grown in our little aquaponics system and the veg at the store. Thanks Candy".
Candy breaks it down and makes it easy to understand. I now understand that aquaponics is all about the balance.
Aquaponics is the growing of veggies and fish together in a harmonious, man-made ecosystem. We replicate nature and reproduce it in a smaller scale to grow our veggies. Not to be confused with fish farming (aquaculture) that doesn't involve veggies, within aquaponics we strive to maintain an ethical balance of fish to vegetables (and filtration) to maintain our ecosystem.
In creating the ecosystem we have fish providing waste constantly in the water, nitrifying bacteria that converts this waste into usable fertiliser for the veggies, and the veggies filter the water for the fish. The process is a continuous cycle of filtering and growing, replicating nature is our small ecosystem.
The beauty of aquaponics is that it can be done in almost any space. Both indoors and outdoors and in ay climate. You can use a 20L fish tank and grow a small amount if herbs, or build a huge backyard aquaponics system and provide for the family and neighbours. You build it based on your space and needs.
As with anything in life, you can build super cheap or super expensive depending on your budget. Cheap is cheap and it looks it, whereas if you invest you can cover things you don't like to see. The cost will depend on the size you wish to build, and if you are willing to invest time in cleaning and modifying recycled materials. Small outdoor aquaponics systems can be easily built for under $200 or less, and larger systems the sky is the limit. Indoor systems can be build for much less. As an avid recycler, I strive to reclaim what I can, and most of my aquaponics systems (small ones) are under $100, with the only cost being the water pump. Investing in an aquaponics system is investing in your health for the future. While I'd love to see people with larger aquaponics systems and eating healthy food, it is in building the larger systems when inexperienced that costs the most money. The best advice is to start small and affordably and as your learn how it works, then expand and you will save a fortune.
The running costs of aquaponics will depend on the size of your system and the type of fish that you are growing (as well as your intention with the fish). The small aquaponics systems that I run, the water pumps cost $10 per year to run, and my larger one is $80 per year with all pumps running 24/7. You can calculate the cost by looking at the watts on the pump and looking up your local electric company for the calculator. Additional costs come with the fish if you are growing edible fish, or growing a fish that requires certain diets. Using ornamental fish has a minimal cost involved for food and you can learn to germinate your own seeds and be self sufficient this way.
Aquaponics is a freshwater ecosystem, therefore the fish much be freshwater. You can also grow some types of crustaceans in the system. It is always best to grow fish that are native to the area so they are able to handle the climate, and consider the size of the fish tank and filtration to identify any bigger fish you may desire. For instance, getting barramundi for a 200L fish tank isn't suitable, as they can grow to over 1metre in length.
Aquaponics is the most sustainable form of gardening that we have and has very little impact on the environment. As we are creating an ecosystem in a man-made structure, where the water is constantly recycling through the system, we are removing the stress of growing in exhausted soil, and saving water constantly. There is no waste like hydroponics that has to be disposed of and it is very self sustaining.
Almost anything from tomatoes to turmeric! Including small fruit trees, root crops and fruiting plants and flowers. What you grow will come down to the design of your aquaponics system and your climate, though you can grow almost anything.
When you understand the fundamentals of aquaponics, like you need to understand the fundamentals of anything, it can be easy and simple to build. When you don't understand, it can seem impossible to get a handle on. Just like driving as a teenager. It is often overwhelming, but with a few lessons and wisdom, you get more and more comfortable with how it works and it is easier. Aquaponics is very similar.
Some people complicate their aquaponics designs following their ideas to suit their needs, this doesn't have to be the case for everyone. Start small and simple and aquaponics is a dream to build and run.
This depends on your design, however if you build simple designs and focus on prevention not fixing, then aquaponics is very easy to maintain. I spend less that 5min per day looking after my aquaponics systems as the focus when building is to be easy to maintain. This is all about prevention. Keep things simple, and the maintenance is simple.
Aquaponics doesn't need to be time consuming, it can be simple and easy to build and maintain. However, even with the simplest designs, if you want to fixate and alter things, or work on something, we can always do that. In setting up routine care and maintenance, it prevents the system from having issues and makes it easy to care for. If you ignore it, the ecosystem will get out of balance and you will need to invest more time.
A common concern with aquaponics is that there is a 'fishy' smell to it. This is not the case. The 'fishy' smell people think about is common with salt water fish. Freshwater fish and aquariums don't have this smell at all. The smell of an aquaponics system if it is healthy, is the smell of the veggies growing, especially the herbs when you brush past them.
Unlike soil gardens when you add manure it gets smelly, this doesn't happening within an aquaponics system unless you don't maintain it.
Generally speaking aquaponics isn't noisy. I use submerged water pumps, so you cannot hear them working, however if you have a much larger system with the water pumps out of the water, then there can be noise. The noise that everyone hears around my place is the running water which is soothing to hear and very gentle. My neighbours cannot hear any of my aquaponics systems, even my larger one.
This is the best part about aquaponics, it is constantly recycling the water through the system, there is no run-off or waste water from the system. Everything is being recycled and reused. You only need to top up the water that is evaporated or used in transpiration of the plants. It is incredibly water saving.
Absolutely! Aquaponics is perfect for inside or out. You alter your design (check out the free mini course) to make it work for you. I have 3 aquaponics systems indoors. It is great when you are tight of space, live in unforgiving climates, or have freshwater fish (or turtles) and want to reduce your water exchanges and grow some herbs.
Yes, there is a huge difference between the two. Despite the fact that 'hydro' means water and 'ponics' is to 'work with', hydroponics is known as a way of growing veggies in a soil-less environment. An accurate description as it does this. To make what we call 'hydroponics' to work, an artificial system is created with water, vegetable growing medium and synthetic nutrients to grow the veggies.
Aquaponics, which 'aqua' also meaning water and 'ponics' to to 'work with', has a different method of growing food. In aquaponics, it is a man-made ecosystem that is created that involves fish providing waste, nitrifying bacteria (everywhere in the world) converts the waste into useable fertiliser and the veggies then use the fertiliser, filtering the water for the fish, and the cycle continues.
In how they concepts are used: hydroponics is an artificial setup that uses synthetic nutrients to grow veggies and has waste products to be removed. Whereas aquaponics is an ecosystem with living fish, bacteria and plants working in harmony to create a balance that grows our food. It is much more sustainable. | agronomy |

[Producer Introduction] JA Arida
Tangerine fields spread across the mountains on both sides of the Arida River as well as coastal mountains. In fact, mountains in Arida are mostly covered in tangerine fields. There are also tangerine fields on its plain as well as between houses. Most of the tangerine fields on sloped ground are stone wall type stepped ones. The stone walls have effects that provide good insulation, drainage and reflect light - this is the secret behind making delicious tangerines. Also, so that the tangerines grown on flat land can be just as delicious as the ones grown in stone wall type stepped fields, mulch cultivation & greenhouse cultivation are on the increase.
In the Arida area, rain doesn't fall often in the summer (end of July to August), the time when a tangerine's sweetness is determined. Therefore, as moisture is whittled down during growth, delicious tangerines with a very rich taste are produced.
Also, citrus fruit fields account for around 90% of the total area of Arida and, among this cultivated citrus fruit, 90% is unshu mikan tangerines. As there are so many involved with tangerine cultivation, the whole town is overflowing with producers with expert knowledge of tangerines. Thanks to this, they support each other through their skills and cultivate quality tangerines.

Given the differences in climate and crops around the world, harvest festivals can be found at various times in different places.
Here in Britain, this celebration dates back to pagan times, with the festival occurring traditionally on the Sunday closest to the Harvest Moon (end of September).
With changes in science and technology, the defined growing season of crops has all but diminished, and we now see crops grown and harvested throughout the year, not only for food, but also for the growing bioenergy market.
The demand for biofuel has increased not only due to rising oil prices, but also due to government policies to reduce greenhouse emissions and to provide alternative energy sources. Production of liquid biofuels depends very much on governmental support as their production costs are still higher than those of fossil fuels. Global biofuel production is not increasing quickly enough to meet demand.
Here at EWFM we are supplying products into this growing market, and are seeing an increase in enquiries for products used in, or suitable for biofuel production, storage and transportation. When dealing with biofuels we offer an extensive arrange of equipment however with special seals to cope with the change in chemical properties.

|The photo shows an experimental plot in Jhikhu Khola, Nepal, where soil erosion is measured and the effect of different plant species on soil loss is estimated.|
Håkan Wallander has worked on a research
project entitled Influence of mycorrhizal fungi
stabilizing soils in areas subjected to erosion.
Abstract: Many soils around the world are subjected to erosion, which causes deterioration of land and loss of productivity of soils. This project focuses on the role of mycorrhizal fungi in improving such soils in Nepal and Tunisia. Mycorrhizal fungi produces external mycelium that binds soil particles together to aggregates and they are efficient in taking up phosphorous from soils which is especially important as many soils subjected to erosion are low in phosphorous availability.
Methods developed by the researchers are used to quantify
external mycorrhizal mycelium in the field and to investigate the role
of mycorrhizal mycelium to counteract erosion. Preliminary studies in
Nepal have revealed a positive relationship between arbuscular mycorrhizal
colonization and P status of degraded soils. This suggests that the fungus
have taken up poorly soluble P sources from the soil, which has been transferred
to a more available form.
The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) finances this project.
At the Development studies research conference held at Lund University in January 2003 Håkan Wallander presented the project in a paper called ”Can fungal hyphae be used to counteract soil degradation?” Read abstract!
Geeta Shrestha Vaidya was a Nepalese sandwich programme student, coming from the University of Kathmandu, who carried out her PhD Candidate at the department. In 2004 she spent two months at the department in Lund. She worked on a research project dealing with creating new vegetation on eroded soil, especially studying fungi living in symbiosis with roots of plants, and how these are affected by adding compost. Fungi are essential for a successful recolonialization of plants. Geeta Shrestha Vaidya has been working as a Scientific Officer in Nepal.
A large number of Indian students, PhD candidates, post-docs and academic staff has come to Lund University during the academic year 2009-10, as scholarship holders through the Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window mobility programme Lot 15, coordinated by Lund University.

One of my favorite parts of farm life is picking wild blackberries along the fencelines through most of July. Just noticed that the tiny blackberries are starting to appear. Very exciting.
Small green tomatoes are starting to appear as well. There are at least five varieties planted this year (Big Boy, Champion VNFT, Patio, Cherry, and Mr. Stripey), so there will be no shortage of tomatoes this summer. I can hardly wait. Will start looking for my Tomato Pie recipe soon.
Summer heat has arrived and it has been over 100 degrees the past few days. Yuck. I am happy to have lots of projects indoors in the AC. Did sneak out this evening to let the dogs run in the field for awhile --- and then allowed them to flop around in the baby pool afterwards, which they love. The field next to mine was being mowed completely yesterday and today was being baled for hay. Really fun to watch the super BIG equipment at work --- although I'm sure the operator was very warm by the time he got done. | agronomy |

Really. This is ME we are talking about… RACHEL!?! Quit blogging all together!? Not Likely! But I am taking a break this weekend, and I thought I’d tell you. Here’s some pictures of my “FINISHED” Garden! The one above, is the main garden. I measured it. It’s 40 feet long, and 8 feet wide. That’s 320 square feet of planting, baby!
This is my compost “bin” and a pile a ready to use compost from our local dump. It’s SUCH good stuff, and it was FREE. I took the first pic from right in front of the bin, turned to my left. This is also my bird area. I’m going to plan some flowering vine along the fence near the feeder, so that the birds have some cover. I have two more houses to go along the fence too.
I asked one of the local hairdressers if she would save a day’s worth of cut hair for me. So I’ll have some SWEET nesting goodies to put out for the birds too! The only thing left to do besides plant, is to put up the string on the fence for the vines.
This is the finished Kid’s Garden. If you look very hard, you can see the compost bin in the back corner along the green fence. The sandbox is directly to my left. I bought seed yesterday. Found some fun seeds! I found some radish that is white on the outside, and HOT PINK on the inside! I found bell peppers that are purple, and I bought some yellow beans. We’ll see how things go! I also bought sunflowers in all shapes and sizes, they should be really fun with all the birds. We had a lot of them last summer, so I think we should see them again this year. Especially since I have been enhancing the bird habitat. Still looking for the purple beans, but if i don’t find them, we’ll have fun anyway. So… HOPEFULLY, the next time I post, I’ll be showing you my next Deck of ME card! Emily is in Paris right now, so I don’t know if she will be able to post a prompt for us by Sunday or not. | agronomy |

With the recent price spikes in nitrogen fertilizers and studies concluding that nitrogen might be leaking into drinking water, people are thinking twice about using them. The object of this experiment to test nitrogen based fertilizers to see if they have an effect on plants. For this particular experiment, Saintpaulia Ionantha (African Violets) will be used along with Miracle Grow for house plants. I hypothesize that the fertilizer will have an effect on the plants, causing the ones fertilized to grow larger and faster than the plants not given fertilizer. Variables observed in the experiment included height, number of leaves, and number of flowers for each plant. After all the data had been collected and analyzed, the experiment showed that the plants given nitrogen based fertilizer grew larger than the plants not given fertilizer, therefore the hypothesis was accepted.
As we all know, the world population grows everyday, and everyday more and more emphasis is being placed money and damage to the environment. Fertilizers of any sort can become very expensive, especially nitrogen based ones. That is one of the reasons people today ask if fertilizer really works or not. To the average person who just fertilizes their flower garden, cost usually is not a major concern. These people only want their flowers to grow large and beautiful. On the other hand, to people who own farms or nurseries and depend on the plants for a living, cost is a major concern.
There have also been a few studies recently concerning the safety of using nitrogen based fertilizers. Many times when the nitrogen is in the nitrate form, the crop is unable utilize the entire amount of fertilizer it is given. This leaves the remaining nitrogen to run with water from the soil into groundwater systems or drainage systems (Jiusheng et al, 2005).
One problem with fertilizer though is that it only stays in the soil for a few days, then has to be reapplied. Urea’s half life, for example, is only about 6 days immediately following transplanting and then falls to only 3 days (Sheehy et al 2005). This fact once again raises the question, are fertilizers worth the extra money and possible harm to the environment?
The objective of the experiment is to show effects of nitrogen based fertilizers in hopes of answering the question do fertilizers really work. If the null hypothesis is correct, plants given the fertilizer mixture will not grow larger than plants given no fertilizer. If the hypothesis is correct, plants given fertilizer will grow larger than the plants not given fertilizer and it could be said that yes, fertilizers do work and are worth purchasing.
Methods and Materials
Materials for this experiment are all easily acquired. The materials include 6 plants, 6 pots, potting soil, nitrogen fertilizer (Miracle grow for house plants was used in this experiment), water and a plastic container for the fertilizer mixture. This experiment can be found at http://www.sciencebuddies.org/mentoring/project_ideas/PlantBio_ p012.shml. The original experiment called for eight plants, but due to time and budget issues, only six were used for this experiment.
To begin this experiment, one must first acquire all materials needed. Then, measure equal amounts of potting soil into each of the six pots. Moisten the soil with equal amounts of water, and label 3 pots with “fertilizer” (the treatment group) and three pots with “no fertilizer” (the control group). Now, plant one plant in each of the pots and place near a sunny window. Mix a container of fertilizer according to instructions on the package. Water each plant once a day, and give the fertilizer group the fertilizer mixture once a week. Record the observations in a notebook once a week. Observations should include stem height, number of leaves and number of flowers.
The experiment is being conducted in my apartment, where the plants have access to sunlight and I have easy access to the plants for observations and watering. At the end of the experiment, the values recorded were used to compare the sets of plants and determine which set grew the most. Graphs and tables were then constructed using Microsoft Excel of the comparison.
At the conclusion of the experiment, one can see that the group watered with nitrogen fertilizer once a week grew larger than the group given only water.
Figure 1 shows the height in centimeters each plant grew during the eight week period. Plants 1 through 3 were the treatment given fertilizer and plants 4 through 6 were the control group only given water. The treatment group grew an average of 4.0 cm while the control group only grew an average of 2.6 cm.
Figure 1: Height grown in centimeters of each plant over an 8 week period.
Figure 2 shows the number of new leaves each plant grew during the same eight week period. It is also evident in figure 2 that the treatment group given fertilizer made more progress than the control group without fertilizer. The treatment group grew an average of 11.3 leaves while the control group grew an average of 3.7 leaves.

Figure 3 shows the number of new flowers each pant produced during the experiment. The treatment group grew and average of 8.3 new flowers while the control group grew and average of 4.7 leaves. After looking at the numbers produced by the experiment, one can see that the treatment group given the fertilizer grew larger than the control group, accepting the hypothesis.

· For maximum growth most soils need to be fertilized
· Nitrogen based fertilizer makes plants grow larger
· Too much or too little fertilizer has no effect

From the Deck is a great community-driven group taking the initiative to carry out weed control, bird counts, water quality tests and pest control along streams in their community.
Te Ngahere staff have been supportive of their goals and are helping to implement the restoration plan with strategic weed control, planting preparation, supporting community planting days and maintaining plantings in the year following. Our staff also provide ongoing advice on restoration priorities and monitoring/refining the restoration programme. We have developed a great relationship with the From the Deck community group and continue to be their chosen contractor.

Although new varieties have become available which are more suitable for growing in this country, they rarely do well when grown outside. Aubergines are better considered as a greenhouse/growhouse crop in all but the very mildest regions and hottest summers. However, if you have a warm sunny and protected spot against the wall of the house, you could certainly try growing aubergines in pots.
Soil & Growing Position
If you're planting outdoors, you'll need in warm sunny spot, in fertile and free draining soil. Apply a dressing of Growmore a week or so prior to planting. In the greenhouse you can plant in growbags or in 9" pots with compost. You could also try growing aubergines in pots or growbags on a warm, sheltered patio during the summer.
Sowing from Seed
Sow in January in a heated greenhouse or February in an unheated greenhouse, coldframe or growhouse. Seedlings should be raised at a temperature around or above 18 degrees Celsius. Sow 2 seeds in a peat pot filled with compost, removing the weaker seedling.
Sow in March.
Growing on & Young Plants
Seedlings raised in the greenhouse but intended for outdoors will need gradually acclimatising to the cooler temperatures ('hardening off') before planting out in late May/early June. Warm the soil by covering with cloches 2 weeks before planting and space 2' apart. Once planted out, cover the seedlings with cloches or polythene growing tunnels. If growing in the greenhouse or in pots, transfer plants to 9" pots or growbags in April for in a heated greenhouse or early May in an unheated one or the end of May/June for outdoors.
Once the plants are 12" high, remove the growing point. Plants will need support so stake and tie in as they grow.
Aubergines need regular watering (but should not be waterlogged) and once the fruit has started to appear, feeding with a high potash liquid fertiliser, such as Tomorite.
Dry air encourages the pest red spider mite so mist regularly to avoid this. Misting also helps flower set.
Once five fruits have set, remove any side shoots and remaining flowers as the plants are unlikely to be able to support any more fruit. Certain small fruiting varieties will be able to produce more fruit.
Harvesting begins once the fruit has grown to around 6" long and while the skin surface is still shiny. Over-ripe fruit has a dull surface and tastes bitter. | agronomy |

Hurray! Last time around, despite planting a wide variety of seeds, we only grew one measly tomato (that then fell on the ground and proceeded to rot). This time around we only decided to grow four things: Cantaloupe, squash, tomatoes, and radishes. Instead of planting directly into our soil (which we have now figured out is not the greatest quality), we planted in a raised bed. We have seen a huge difference this time around!
Here’s the first sprouts of this year’s garden popping up!
Now a month or so later, we are so very tickled to announce….our squash have their very first flower, which means, the squash are soon to follow! Check it out!
It’s been wonderful to watch our garden grow (and continue to grow) this time around. We can’t wait to taste the food from our family’s very first harvest! It’s looking like we will have a good amount of squash, which means I’ll have to come up with some tasty squash recipes. If you have any favorite squash recipes, please share! We’d love to add them to our recipe collection! | agronomy |

Vineyard: In the Lea of the South Downs, in Ditchling, East Sussex, Court Gardens Farm has a long history of farming. The vineyard was established in the spring of 2005 on a beautiful south-facing slope with the South Downs as a backdrop, and is now one of the more charming vineyards in England. The family run single-estate vineyard now extends to 17 acres, mainly planted with the three classic varieties of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier for the production of Sparkling Wine. Sussex shares similar geology to north-east France, the chalk of the downs runs beneath the Channel into the Champagne region. In Sussex we have a more maritime climate which is perfect for the production of sparkling wine.
Vinification: Fruit is picked early in the morning and delivered straight to the winery only yards away where the base wine is created. The second ferment is carried out in bottle and the extended lees aging helps balance the acidity from the single estate sussex fruit | agronomy |

The plant is indigenous to Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Cannabis plants are believed to have evolved on the steppes of Central Asia, specifically in the regions that are now Mongolia and southern Siberia.
Cannabis has long been used for hemp fibre, for hemp oils, for medicinal purposes, and as a recreational drug. Industrial hemp products are made from cannabis plants selected to produce an abundance of fiber. To satisfy the UN Narcotics Convention, some cannabis strains have been bred to produce minimal levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive constituent. Many plants have been selectively bred to produce a maximum of THC (cannabinoids), which is obtained by curing the flowers. Various compounds, includinghashish and hash oil, are extracted from the plant.

At this time I'm leaning toward... both.
I'll continue to add to my perennial gardens as always, but only add functional or edible plants. This goes for my window boxes and decorative planters too. I'll intersperse my vegetable garden with beneficial plants like chives near my brassicas to assist in the assault against cabbage worms.
My pots are mainly terra cotta.... I'm loving the barrels!
This planter from High Country Gardens makes me eager to try nasturtiums this year.
This a clever way to make use of space makes me wish I had a rock wall!
But I'm also going to devote a larger, new garden to herbs and other beneficial plants that I'd like to grow and store for winter use like oregano, basil, parsley, mint, and chamomile just to name a few.
I struggle with a vision for the area and needed a little jumpstart.
My area will have a building, although it's not nearly as quaint as this one, but I like the pathway.
And the idea of a sitting area to relax and breath in the delightful, aromatic herbs.
I'm hoping to grow lots of lavender. (Not that the image looks like lavender, but it reminds me of it and inspires me.) It's so useful as an edible and medicinal flower. Not to mention for use around the home in cleaning, decorating, and gift-giving.
We recently collected a variety of decent sized rocks while clearing the pasture expansion for the pigs. I'm envisioning a pathway that would look like this leading from our garden to
the seating area under the mulberry. (Just don't sit there too much in late June ;D. )
Maybe some thyme growing between the rocks...
This is the area I'll be using. As to what I'll put where, I fly by the seat of my pants when the time comes. I'm simply horrible at visualizing what it will all look like when it comes together far ahead of time. I'll put in the structural elements and then fill in from there.
For areas short on space for the more urban homesteader, I fell in love with some of these ideas that I've come across:
I loved this one so much that I purchased these from Ikea and have filled 2 of the three pots with organic parsley and rosemary I found for $1.50 at the grocery store this weekend. I will be putting a florescent under the counter light above them for our darker days. In the meantime, they're struggling not to die. That's what I get for making an impulse buy.
I bought this galvanized pot in particular.
I thought this idea was so clever!
And imagine that it's set up much like this from Back to Basics: A Complete Guide to Traditional Skills.
These cute ideas were from Better Homes & Gardens.
And I thought this drying rack was quite charming. I can easily imagine lavender bundles hanging there, perfuming the air with the delightful fragrance.
I'm so eager to begin this new part of our journey by growing and using fresh herbs! I have oregano, bush basil, Italian basil, chives, mint, lemon balm, and lemon verbena seedlings growing in the basement right now waiting for their new home. In my eagerness, I pinched off a leaf from the lemon balm and was surprised to find that it really does have a mild lemony flavor and was rather wonderful! Since growing lemons here in zone 5 is absolutely out of the question, perhaps I'll be able to use a homegrown herb as a suitable substitute. Won't that be exciting?

Use soap on your crops. Not much is even worse than a poor aphid infestation. Your crops will seem terrible, and ultimately die, if the bugs carry on to operate on your vegetation. To get rid of them now, fill a spray bottle with dish cleaning soap and water. Spray extensively, and repeat as required.
Fertilize your soil with organic and natural compost. Organic gardeners are inclined to fertilize their soil two times in a single time: as soon as prior to planting, and then yet again in the center of a growth cycle. The greatest fertilizer to use is an natural compost, as it releases vitamins and minerals slowly unlike chemical fertilizers, which release vitamins in 1 go and then shed their result.
A swift way to create a perennial backyard is by slicing beneath the turf employing a spade, turning it upside down, and covering the region with three to four inches of wood chips. Following you have completed this, hold out a couple of weeks, and you will be ready to cut into it and plant your new perennials.
For indoor organic gardening, temperature handle is really critical throughout the early phases. Seventy levels Fahrenheit is the best temperature for most seeds to start increasing. You can attain this temperature fairly simply by putting in heaters and positioning the seeds around the vents. You can also purchase heat mats to location under your plant containers.
In summary, gardeners method their interest from diverse perspectives and distinct skill amounts. Several are just commencing their gardening passion.

It is a perennial grass that thrives in warm weather and it can grow up to four feet tall in ideal climates. You can find lemon grass planted in many Malaysians' home gardens.
Its Uses =>
Lemon grass is most commonly consumed as a fresh herb (in curries and soups), oil and tea. The tea is also sometimes applied to the skin as a toner and cleaner. Boiled lemon grass leaves or stalks (dried or fresh) water is very good for bathing especially for women who have given births as it is said to be able to expel excessive 'winds' from their bodies. Lemon grass tea has a slightly spicy taste and may provide a wide variety of health benefits.
Its Benefits =>
Lemon grass promotes healthy digestion, calms nervous disorders, relieves insomnia, normalizes blood pressure and removes toxins from the body. Lemon grass may be an effective colon cancer fighter. Researchers discovered that lemon grass contains citral, a substance that kills cancer cells, but does not harm healthy cells in any way. Lemon grass also displays strong antioxidant properties and is a mild antimicrobial. The toxicity of lemon grass is very low, so it is safe to be consumed as tea on a regular basis, unless you’re pregnant.
Propagation And Growing Conditions =>
Lemon grass is a fast growing and easy to grow plant. It can be propagated via division from its mother plant. However, you may also plant one using store bought stalk that has a few roots in sight. You can either plant it direct into the soil or leave it to root a little bit more in the water before planting. Lemon grass grows well under full sun with plenty of water. It prefers a rich and well-draining soil. If it is grown in containers, you may want to top-dress it with compost or organic fertilizers every couple of weeks so as to ensure it gets enough nutrients.
My mum especially loved lemon grass for its delicate hint of lemon. She also cherished it for its many health benefits. She used to make tea from its fresh leaves or stalks for us to drink every now and then. While it is best to use fresh leaves or stalks to make the tea, it would be good to have the dried ones at hand, especially when you don't feel like going out to the garden to do the harvest.
Here is how to sun-dry lemon grass leaves to make tea :
1) Harvest some lemon grass leaves or stalks on a clear-weathered morning. Wash them clean and cut them into small pieces.
2) Spread them evenly and thinly on a tray and bring them out to dry under the hot sun.
3. The drying time may take one to three days depending on the heat of the sun. They should be completely dried when they turn golden brown in colour. You can also use your clean hands to feel it.
4. After that you may store them in an air tight glass bottle for future use.
To prepare the tea, you may use about 2 tablespoons of dried lemon grass leaves to make one glass of tea. Pour hot boiling water onto the leaves in a mug or drinking glass and let it stand for at least 10 minutes. Then strain and serve. | agronomy |

Climbing vegetation are typically container-developed, despite the fact that sometimes they are offered as bare-root vegetation. Pick a healthy searching plant with a excellent framework of each set up stems and new shoots. Change the pot in excess of, and verify to see if there are any youthful roots growing out of the holes in the bottom. If so, this implies that the plant is well-rooted. Reject any plant that is potbound (that means you can't simply take away it from the pot).
A wonderful way to maximize yard potential is to plant perennials. Some edible greens will arrive back 12 months soon after yr with minimum maintenance like weeding, mulching, and fertilizing. Asparagus, bunching onions, and horseradish all will come back each and every 12 months. Relying on climate, there are several choices for growing perennial veggies for a highest produce.
A important component to possessing a great backyard garden is to fertilize it. There are many different varieties of fertilizers offered at most property merchants, but what works for various varieties of gardens differs. Manure is a excellent choice, but it does odor. A commercially developed manure will have no pathogens to contaminate the veggies in the backyard garden. Some individuals swear by chemical fertilizers, nevertheless they are not an organic way to develop.
When digging holes for your vegetation, do not be a neat freak. Never dig holes that are best, with sides that are as clean as can be. You are truly generating it much more hard for the root system of the new plant to just take maintain in the soil. For best final results, preserve your holes a tiny messy.
In you have a pond in your yard, make positive you sustain it all through the 12 months. In order to keep a pond wholesome, you want to ensure that the water is distinct and that vegetation do not consider more than. Bear in mind, with the proper equilibrium of mild, oxygen and air, aquatic vegetation and wildlife will prosper.
Locate out if the vegetation you have in your backyard have particular fertilizer requirements. Some plants like sluggish-release fertilizers, whilst other people desire nitrogen-abundant meals. Most like to be fertilized in the course of the large position of their developing year. A tiny education will go a extended way to improving your backyard.
To make a do-it-yourself watering can, use an old bottle of detergent! Basically drill holes in the lid of the cap and be certain the bottle has been cleaned thoroughly. The thickness of a detergent container will make this a quite durable watering can and the manage will allow you to use it with simplicity.
To have the ideal flower yard select crops that bloom at different occasions of the developing period. It is achievable to uncover varieties of vegetation and flowers that bloom from January until November dependent on the place you live. By planting vegetation that peak at diverse instances of the calendar year you can make sure that there is constantly colour and daily life in your property.
If you have to elevate one thing heavy you need to have to carry with your knees. Several men and women make the miscalculation of lifting with their back again when they are lifting large objects. This can guide to a great deal of back again ache and could even result in severe harm. You should never lift anything at all that is extremely large with no aid from someone else.
You will want to rotate the vegetation on a normal foundation when you have an indoor organic backyard. Crops require to get light from all instructions in order to increase effectively. If they are not rotated, vegetation will bend towards a light-weight supply, which can in fact lead to them to generate less fruits and vegetables, than they would have if they experienced been rotated.
If you are new to gardening, start off with crops that are normal to your area. All-natural crops will be easier to grow. They will thrive in the normal soil of your area, and enjoy the temperature conditions you are faced with also. Inquire for information on indigenous plants at your house and backyard heart.
Instead of pulling weeds, switch them into nourishment for your garden. Some weeds, like Lamium or Chickweed, are challenging to remove a single at a time. Instead, making use of a sharp shovel or spade, reduce underneath the weeds and turn them above, creating positive to bury all of the leaves. The weeds will rot, delivering the soil with nourishment like composting.
Use mulch to fertilize your beds. You have to make sure you distribute mulch evenly, as you need to have a specified amount and do not want to waste any of it. Sprinkle mulch as ideal as you can and use a rack to spread it flatly and evenly. Make confident you go over all the places that want it.
Most natural fertilizers will not hurt the delicate roots of plants, unlike, artificial fertilizers. A wonderful way to use an organic fertilizer is to blend it with the top two inches of soil subsequent to the plant. This is known as aspect-dressing, and it is normally labored into the soil in the course of the developing season.
When you h2o way too a lot, then you can in fact hurt your crops thanks to the reality that the roots are unable to get the nutrients they want. You should usually check out the weather forecast, in progress, for probabilities of rainfall ahead of you drinking water the plants. You can skip watering for an complete day if rain is on the way.
Be mindful when you are shifting your vegetation from plastic containers to the soil. Plants usually will finish up with sure roots when they have spent also significantly time in plastic. Switch the plastic container upside-down gradually and faucet gently to eliminate plant. Keep away from harmful the plants sensitive root method.
The exercise of organic gardening is one that can be loved by absolutely everyone, but only those quite serious into it, will try to perfect their natural and organic gardening strategies.

On March 11, 2011, Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture was struck by one of the biggest disasters in recent history. A tsunami, caused by an earthquake in the Pacific, hit the Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant, triggering the meltdown of the nuclear reactors, which led to explosions and radioactive material being released into the atmosphere. In the following days, wind and rain carried the radioactive material inland. More than 25,000 hectares of farmland, in what used to be one of Japan’s most important agricultural regions, were contaminated. The official decontamination method removes the fertile topsoil and replaces it with infertile dirt from the mountains, which produces huge amount of radioactive waste: 16 million m2, stored all over the region. But most importantly: By removing the fertile soil, it makes farming impossible. So even though radiation decreases, the region remains abandoned, because without farming, rural Fukushima communities lose their livelihood.
Environmental technology specialists from METER, together with Dr. Masaru Mizoguchi from The University of Tokyo, fellow environmental scientists and the NPO Fukushima Saisei, have developed an innovative sustainable decontamination method for farming: It reduces the amount of radioactive waste by 95% compared to the official method. By giving the farmers back their fields, they regain their livelihood. This revitalizes communities and business. The whole region can grow again.
The innovative sustainable decontamination method for farming removes the radioactive material from the soil, without removing the soil itself. The method can be easily applied by farmers themselves, because it uses only available resources. It enables farmers to grow perfectly safe rice on the fields inherited from their ancestors again. And because it removes only the radioactive particles instead of the whole topsoil, it reduces the amount of radioactive waste by 95% compared to the official method.
At the core of the innovative method is the discovery that radioactive cesium binds to the clay in the rice fields: Remove the clay, and you remove the cesium. The second ‘ingredient’ of the innovation is a physical trick: Clay floats on water. By flooding the fields and stirring up the topsoil, the clay cesium compound rises to the top, from where it can be drained off into a pit next to the field, dried and stored efficiently. A single application removes 80% of the cesium from the soil, while keeping the fertile topsoil needed for farming. The rice grown on these decontaminated fields is regularly tested for radiation and found to be perfectly safe, far below the official limit, which is 10 times stricter than in the U.S. and Europe.
The sustainable decontamination method removes 80% of the cesium in the soil with a single application.
It has been applied on many rice fields all over Fukushima Prefecture, by farmers themselves, using available resources.
The rice grown on the decontaminated fields is perfectly safe, more than 10 times below the limit of official tests for products from Fukushima Prefecture, which are the strictest radiation tests in the world. Compared with the official decontamination method, the application of the sustainable method reduces radioactive waste by 95%, prevented thousands of cubic meters of radioactive waste.
Fukushima farmers regain their livelihood, which brings back communities and economy. The method is being adopted by farmers and organizations in Fukushima and beyond.

Mateu Kiaki seems at ease as he tends to kale crop at the school garden at Leshuta Primary School in Narok County, Kenya. Mateu is the Chairperson of Simba Agricultural Club at the school. The Club has 40 members, 19 girls and 21 boys, all between class 6 and 8 and is managed by a Patron.
The Club was started in 2017 as part of youth enterprise development efforts by the Kenya programme of Action Africa Help International (AAH-I) to support in- and out-of-school youth in five schools in Naikarra Ward in Narok County. Leshuta Primary School is one of the schools that has benefitted from the initiative. The business plan entailing a students’ agribusiness club that they presented to AAH-I was strong enough to have them receive a grant of KES. 75,000 (approximately USD $750) for the project.
“At the moment we are using the patron’s farm within the school compound where we have grown kale, cabbage, spinach and tomatoes. I am among the elected officials for the club. We are responsible for the entire process of planting, harvesting and selling the farm produce. It is an income generating activity, but in the process we have learnt about better nutrition,” says Mateu.
“Pastoralism and the nomadic lifestyle that is common among the Maasai community reduces opportunities to practice agriculture. But this project is imparting knowledge to these young people. Through this venture the students are trained to be ambassadors of change in their families. For example, if parents do not see the importance of growing vegetables for household consumption and as a source of income, this can be addressed by supporting the students to embrace the idea and start similar projects at their homes,” says head teacher Mateu Kandet.
“We sell the vegetables to the school and at the nearby market. We have learnt to keep records for all our sales. We use the profit to buy more seeds and help needy students in the club,” says Vice Chairperson Faith Seinah.
The project is changing the students’ mindset towards entrepreneurship and self-employment and supporting them to be agents of change in addressing issues affecting the community. Caroline Jepchumba says that the project has had a positive impact to both the school and to the community. “The project is an income generating activity and has helped to reduce school transportation costs of sourcing for vegetables from Narok town. It has also provided a ready supply to the villagers who don’t easily find the vegetables around Leshuta town to boost their nutritional diet. This activity by the students has also acted as a great lesson to the community in understanding that their area is fertile and even though they don’t have enough water for watering their farms they can engage in small kitchen gardens in the their homes.” | agronomy |

At least it feels like Spring, with lots of sun and temperatures in the high fifties and even into the sixties every day for the last several weeks. We have Daffodils and Camellias in bloom as I type this on Valentine’s Day.
On our way to the pizza place to get our heart-shaped pizza today, we saw Dogwoods budding out. Our roses have new growth, as do the Flowering Currant bushes. This is crazy!

Not that we couldn’t use some Winter. Our snow pack is dangerously low here, as are our rain totals. But the weather is mild and the plants think the time for that is past, and they’re coming on like gangbusters.
This is the weather we usually see in late April, if we’re lucky, more likely May, and that’s when we make our first forays to the nursery and garden meets. Confession: I went to the nursery yesterday and bought plants. That’s right, before the middle of February, I bought plants. | agronomy |

The deck is reciprocated causing the heavy fraction to move uphill, while the light fraction floats downhill. Variations in deck speed, air volume, deck material, deck angle (lengthwise and sidewise), and take-off points allow effective separation to be achieved on almost any dry product. The Re-Sort Conveyor Belt which is located below the Gravity Separator’s Platform conveys the middling seeds to the feeder elevator so the seeds that are not certain of their quality is re-separated thus allows the operator to control the out put quality in finer results.

A veggie plot at the White House will no doubt lead more Americans to embrace this green fad. But prospective gardeners, beware: This hobby isn’t cheap — or easy.
Alcestis “Cooky” Oberg
15 April 2009

When Michelle Obama recently decided to plant a kitchen garden at the White House, I was pleased. Fresh vegetables from the garden are great. Better yet, the recession has made gardening popular again, as vegetable seed sales are up nearly 20% over last year.
But like any fad, this craze is full of hype and short on facts. Recent articles tout how some people have saved “thousands” of dollars with kitchen gardens, perhaps paving the way to freedom from the grocery store. Burpee Seeds enthused that $50 spent on gardening supplies can multiply into $1,250 worth of produce annually.
Don’t bet on it.
While “victory gardens” did provide 40% of the nation’s produce during World War II, American agriculture has since become more efficient, cost-effective and productive. Bargains abound at grocery stores. Besides that, vegetables and fruit are only one small portion of the family food budget, which usually includes dairy, grain, meat and other products we can’t provide for ourselves.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve been a gardener for more than 40 years, and my yard is one big edible landscape full of fruit trees and vegetable beds. There are many good reasons to grow your own produce, but saving money shouldn’t be the main one. People who are thinking about starting a kitchen garden need to know a few real- life facts:
*Gardening is not cheap. That first garden might require the purchase of tools (shovels, hoes, cultivators, tomato cages, fences, water hoses), maybe some machines for big plots (tillers, weed- eaters and their fuel), soil amendments (fertilizers, mulches, composts, manures, top soils), seeds or transplants, and water. Organic gardeners like to add composting bins to that sizeable bill, in order to recycle cut grass, leaves and other refuse.
*Gardening is not easy. You don’t just put a seed in the ground and walk away until the harvest. You have to concern yourself with weeding, watering, soil enrichment, drainage, mulch, keeping kids and soccer balls out of the garden — to say nothing of varmints such as squirrels, birds, raccoons and deer that show up uninvited at the backyard deli.
*Purely organic gardens will probably fail in many places. I live in Texas. The bugs are going to win here. So if vicious, poisonous fire ants try to set up a colony in my garden, I have to kill them. Co-existence is not an option. Ditto for other voracious insects intent upon destroying my crops. I use the mildest chemical possible (organic products are chemicals, too) only when and where it’s needed, and I always follow the directions.
*Some locovores — people who insist on eating only locally grown food — are misleading new gardeners into thinking that a kitchen garden can provide everything. I like Bing cherries, Honeycrisp apples, Golden pineapples and apricots — none of which will grow on the Gulf Coast of Texas. Some vegetables and herbs don’t want to live here either. The best place to go to avoid gardeners’ remorse is the local county agricultural extension service, which provides free fact sheets telling you what will or won’t grow in your area.
*There are impractical fashions in gardening, as in clothing. For instance, heirloom tomatoes are fashionable now. However, as my veggie-mentor, garden author Tom LeRoy, told me darkly: “There’s a reason some old varieties aren’t grown anymore.” That very year, my Brandywine heirlooms produced exactly one tomato and died of a disease, while the modern Better Boy right next to it produced 40 pounds of delicious tomatoes. Today, I have a sensible mixture of old and modern vegetable varieties, and I’m always eager to try something new — a white cherry tomato or a purple carrot. I praise American agriculture and science for creating modern vegetables and fruit that are wonderfully resistant to diseases, grow easily, taste great and are far more productive than some of the oldie-goldies.
The benefits of gardening go well beyond the bounty. My kids did well in science partly because they learned botany firsthand, in the garden. There is a special peace and empowerment one gets by growing one’s own food, working closely with the plants and the seasons.
But I’d be dead if I had to live on what I grew. Like many gardeners, the Obamas might find their garden produce to be more of a delightful seasonal addition to the table, rather than a reliable and life-sustaining one.
Many of my crops failed, or had good years and bad ones, depending on the weather. I have real respect for professional farmers who endure all that and keep producing. Last year when my spinach crop didn’t produce, I was invited to harvest some at a church garden nearby, run by a couple of retired farmers. Their acre of tough Texas land was as beautiful as a royal garden, and the row of spinach was so perfect it was humbling.
“These guys know how to grow food,” I confessed.

ConclusionsFIRST: Despite far too many bad internet references about making gunpowder out of urine, I have finally figured out why nobody gives instructions on how to do it. It is, for the most part, impractical.
SECOND: If what you're looking for is soluble nitrates, it's far easier to use "normal" composting materials like grass clippings and animal products than to try to leverage the urea in urine directly.
The investigationAfter doing the math on the saltpeter yield and after a lot more research on the composting process, I have decided to take another whack at figuring out what it would take.
Target valuesIdeal hot, nitrifying composting seems to occur near a C:N ratio of 25 and a moisture content of 40-60%. If there were nothing in the mass that wasn't nitrogen, carbon, or water, the ratios might look like: 40% water, 57.7% carbon, 2.3% nitrogen.
Raw MaterialsTo produce 1 kg of soluble nitrates, we need 140g of nitrogen. Targeting a C:N of 25, we need 3.5kg (25 x 140g) of carbon. Since straw and sawdust are still 20% moisture, we would need 4.375kg of that material to provide the right amount of carbon to balance out the nitrogen. To get 140g of nitrogen from urea, we need 32L of urine, which is essentially 100% water.
That would leave a moisture content of 90%. (32875g water vs 36515g total mass)
AHA!The light has come on. Given the urea content of 32L of urine, we only need 3.5kg of carbon to get the ratio right, but the water content is beyond all reason. That's probably why no one documents urine as anything other than a "de minimus additive".
Forcing the issuePresuming the 32L could be reduced (boiled down?) to 1.625L (20-to-1 reduction) without loss of nitrogen, the numbers would add up more like
Which gives a moisture content of 40%. (2500g water vs 6140g total mass) Close enough.
So if the presumption is valid and you had to do it this way, you'd do something like:
- Reduce volume of urine to 5% original
- Add 2.3-3 times (by weight) straw or sawdust
- Mix and compost it | agronomy |

For nearly a century the Western New York family farm, Singer Farms, has grown high quality orchard fruits sold wholesale both statewide and nationally. In 2009, one of the Singer family daughters Vivianne Szulist, along with her husband Tom, started the retail farm business Singer Farm Naturals.
The couple’s own commitment to a sustainable lifestyle motivated their concept of a farm retail store focusing on natural products and consumer education.
“We believe that there is an enhanced quality of life in knowing where your food comes from, and it has been lost in the corporate profile of bringing food to you as cheaply as possible,” said co-owner Tom Szulist. “We want to help people understand what garlic is all about, where it comes from, and how to grow it yourself.”
Their environment-first philosophy was reflected in the building itself, which started by reviving a barn dating back to the 1840’s that had been used as a dairy and storage building for farm equipment. Working with Alliance Builders, the Szulists restored the interior timber frame constructed from hand-hewn American Chestnut trees felled on the property over a century ago. The old shell of the building was then wrapped in new straw bale construction and structural insulated panels (SIPs) from R-Control SIP manufacturer Thermal Foams in Buffalo, New York.
“Both SIPs and straw bales are very sustainable and provide excellent insulation,” said Szulist. “Choosing SIPs for the roof was the most logical and green way to keep everything on the interior as original as we could.”
Heating for the 2,700 sq. ft. building will be provided by radiant floor heating system. Water will be heated with a high-efficiency wood-fired boiler that can burn wood from the many surrounding orchards. Excess hot water is stored in a 700 gallon insulated storage tank for later use.
Nearly all of the operation’s electricity needs are provided by a 10 kW photovoltaic solar array, further reducing its environmental footprint.
The barn’s agricultural past and focus on sustainable practices for the future led Szulist to name it the “Legacy Barn.”
“This was an opportunity to take ownership of barn in our lifetime, enhance it in environmentally sensitive way, and pass it on to next generation,” Szulist said.

There exists a great deal of diversity in vegetables on the African continent. Whilst many of these African vegetables originated on the continent, some others have been cultivated in Africa for so long that they have become African through their domestication and adaptation on the African soil. Some vegetables are pan-African, as they have been adapted across most parts of Africa, and can be grown all over the continent. However, there are a few that are better adapted to certain parts of Africa However, there exists regional diversity in African vegetables.
Africa is largely made up of 5 regions;
North Africa – comprising the countries north of sub-saharan Africa including Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Sudan, Libya and Western Sahara.
East Africa – comprising Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan
The Horn of Africa – comprising Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia.
West Africa – comprising 18 countries which include; Benin, Burkina Faso, the island nation of Cape Verde, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, the island of Saint Helena, Senegal, Sierra Leone, São Tomé and Príncipe and Togo (1).
Southern Africa – comprising Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
Exploring Regional Diversity in African Vegetables
North Africa Vegetables
Large parts of North Africa are taken up by the Sahara desert, with the mediterranean and the Nile River bordering the northern and eastern parts of North Africa. Green leafy vegetables such as spinach, and jute mallow flourish and are prevalent. Common root vegetables include potatoes, onions and garlic. Other root vegetables commonly used in North African cuisine include carrots, turnips, and beets. In addition, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, zucchini, and eggplant are also commonly used in stews and salads.
East Africa Vegetables
Some common vegetables in East Africa (comprising Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania) include African black nightshade (solanum nigrum), Stinging Nettle, Amaranth, Spiderplant (cleome gynandra), Pumpkin, Black-eyed peas commonly known as cowpeas, African Eggplant, Ethiopian kale (brassica carinata) and okra. Other vegetables commonly eaten include common kale (brassica oleracea), tomatoes, French beans, carrots, spinach and cabbage. These vegetables, while not indigenous to East Africa, have been adapted for cultivation in the East African topography and have been acclimatised to the region. | agronomy |

Market Harborough and the surrounding area has been a ‘hub’ for the local food and drink industry since the Manor of Harborough or Haverberg was developed as a place where tradesmen could meet between Northampton and Leicester between 1199 and 1227. In 1204 a market was established and it is thought that the name Haverberg is derived from the Anglo-Saxon ‘Haefera-beorg’ meaning Oat Hill.
Harborough Market has been held on a Tuesday ever since 1221 and has been joined by many small independent and artisan producers. A quality selection of local food and drink products is increasingly important to shoppers and visitors. Taste Harborough is at the centre of connecting and showcasing the businesses which make the Market Harborough area a wonderful place to taste and buy food and drink.
Who are Taste Harborough?

This is what the Food Share Table looked like half-way through the lunches:
Thursday of the week before winter break, we had our Food Share Table presentations and we presented to K-1, 2-3 and 5. All presenters did a great job, and our audience was responsive and listened well. We can’t wait to start the Food Share Table!
This morning we had a food share table presentation practice. We set up the cafeteria and got ready to present. Then we came to the classroom and we practiced our slides in our groups to be ready for tomorrow’s presentation and for Thursday. We did a little work on the posters and we’re ready to go!

What is Aquaponics? Aquaponics is very interesting! Aquaponics is basically where there are fish and plants grow on top of the fish tank. The fishes’ waste (poop and pee) feeds the plants. In return, the plants filter the water for the fish so that the nitrates don’t kill the fish.
Check out this amazing presentation about aquaponics in space: Aquaponics Presentation by Makena and Sophie.

Congratulations to Blake, Mai and Zach for a successful presentation of our Green Star Ambassador Program at the K-12 School Food Waste Workshop!
This workshop was presented in collaboration with the Douglas County School District and the Environmental Protection Agency Region 8. In attendance at this conference were notable figures including Ms. Jenkins, Ms. Till, and Ms. Brink from the EPA, Chef Sally from Livewell Colorado, Chef Ann from the Chef Ann Foundation, Patrick Bultema of FoodMaven , Michele Melio from Eco Cycle, and Shelly Allen, SVVSD Director of Nutrition & Warehouse Services to name a few.
Eagle Crest’s role was to explain our Green Star Ambassador Program. Not only did Blake, Mai and Zach create an informative presentation, they did an amazing job speaking to the audience, sharing their enthusiasm for how we compost and recycle efficiently in the cafeteria, and detailing their roles in helping our students and staff develop sustainable habits.
Zach, Blake and Mai participated in a panel discussion and thoughtfully answered questions about how our program works and what inspires them to care about our earth. When Blake was asked what inspired him to compost and recycle, he explained, “Green Star was always around me, so I just wanted to do it.” Mai was asked about whether or not students bring home compost and recycling values. She answered, “I teach my parents what goes in the compost, recycle and trash. I am waiting for my own compost bin!” And Zach described how we sustain our composting and recycling program at Eagle Crest, “We make it fun to compost and recycle at school with contests and games.”
Other subjects discussed at the workshop were the importance of food as a universal experience, the EPA’s Food Recovery Challenge, the Smarter Lunchrooms Movement, practical tips on food waste reduction in schools, and a tour of the composting, kitchen and garden facilities at Rocky Heights Middle School. We learned how to conduct a food waste audit and how to develop a food share table at our school — two ideas we are going to implement! With the knowledge that forty percent of our food ends up in landfills, we need to Feed People Not Landfills, and understand where our food comes from. The Extraordinary Life and Times of Strawberry | Save The Food shows the journey our food takes from the farm, to the table, and to the trash.
Thanks to Katrina Brink and Virginia Till for their guidance, Michele Melio (and everyone) from Eco Cycle for inspiring us to compost and recycle, Mrs. Schwirtz for helping our students prepare, Mr. Ball for supporting our STEM Explorers program, and Blake, Mai and Zach’s parents for providing encouragement and support.
We are all so proud of you, Mai, Blake and Zach!

Are Farmers Contaminating the Shallow Ground Water?
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is working to address this difficult question. As part of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program, water samples were collected from 38 shallow ground-water wells adjacent to farm fields in the southwestern part of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) River basin in the summer of 1993 and the spring of 1994. Preliminary analyses indicate that nitrate concentrations in 2 of 38 wells exceeded the EPA standard of 10 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for drinking water. Pesticides were measured in 18 wells at concentrations well below EPA standards for drinking water. Although there should be concern for the presence of pesticides in ground water, the trace concentrations are not believed to pose immediate health risks.
In 1990, about 2.64 million people lived in the ACF River basin, 60 percent of those in the Atlanta area. Most agricultural land in the northern part of the ACF River basin is used for pastures and, to a lesser extent, poultry production, while most agricultural land in the southern part of the basin is used for row crops and orchards.
One of the tasks of the NAWQA program is to design and implement a water-quality assessment of surface and ground water as it relates to various land uses. A part of the study is designed to determine the chemical quality of shallow ground water that underlies agricultural land-use areas in the southern basin. Thirty-eight monitoring wells were installed in the surficial aquifers adjacent to and downgradient from farm fields. Four reference wells were installed in forested areas to represent background water-quality conditions.
The depth to the water table in all the monitoring wells ranged from 3 to 67 feet below land surface. Water samples were collected from most wells during summer 1993 and again during spring 1994 to represent low and high water-table conditions, respectively. The samples were analyzed for nutrients, pesticides, volatile organic compounds, major ions, organic carbon, and select radionuclides. This pamphlet presents information on the occurrence of nitrate and commonly used pesticides in the shallow ground water associated with agricultural land use in southwestern Georgia and adjacent areas of Alabama and Florida.
Surficial aquifers were selected for sampling rather than deeper aquifer systems that are generally used for domestic- and public- water supplies and irrigation because surficial aquifers are the first water-bearing zones, and are more susceptible to contamination. Therefore, a measure of water quality in surficial aquifers may serve as an early warning of potential contamination of deeper aquifer systems.
Filtered water samples collected throughout the NAWQA program were analyzed by the USGS National Water Quality Laboratory to identify and quantify concentrations of nutrients and 84 pesticides commonly used throughout the United States. The term pesticide refers to groups of organic compounds designed to control pests such as weeds (herbicides), insects (insecticides), fungi (fungicides), and so forth. Many of these pesticides are commonly used for weed and insect control in the ACF River basin. However, the laboratory methods do not include some commonly used pesticides, such as paraquat, methanearsonate, glyphosate, DSMA, MSMA, and several chlorophenoxy herbicides. Therefore, it should not be assumed that these pesticides are not applied in the basin, or are not present in the water resource.
Pesticides in ground water at concentrations that exceed standards can be harmful to human health. Sources of pesticides are generally from applications made to farm fields, orchards, in and around buildings, lawns and gardens, golf courses, parks, and roadways. No pesticides were measured at concentrations that exceeded EPA standards for drinking water, however, alachlor and atrazine were within 28 and 14 percent, respectively, of the maximum contaminant level (MCL). Six pesticides were measured at trace concentrations in 16 agricultural wells (see figure and table). The herbicides listed are four of the top five herbicides applied to agricultural land in the ACF River basin. Although there should be concern for the presence of pesticides in ground water, the trace concentrations found in surficial aquifers are not believed to pose immediate health risks.
The maximum contaminant level (MCL) is the maximum concentration allowed in drinking water according to EPA drinking water standards. The lifetime-health advisory (HA) level is the maximum concentration in drinking water that would not cause adverse human-health effects, excluding cancer (based on a 150-pound adult consuming about 2 quarts of water per day for a period of 70 years).
High concentrations of nitrate in ground water can be toxic to infants and warm-blooded animals that drink the water. Sources of nitrate are generally from fertilizer, human and animal wastes, and atmospheric deposition. Nitrate concentrations in 2 of 38 agricultural wells exceeded the EPA standard of 10 mg/L for drinking water (see figure). Concentrations in 11 of the 38 wells ranged from 3 to 10 mg/L, indicating probable human influence. Twenty-five of the 38 agricultural wells and four reference wells had background concentrations of nitrate that were less than 3 mg/L.
Pesticides and nitrates used on agricultural lands appear to be finding their way into the shallow ground water. However, surficial aquifers are generally not used for drinking water, and concentrations are generally well below levels that pose health risks.
No pesticides were detected in measurable concentrations in ground water from four reference wells. Six pesticides and two breakdown products of atrazine and DDT were measured in 18 agricultural wells, but the concentrations were well below EPA drinking-water standards and are not believed to pose immediate health risks (see table).
Nitrate concentrations in ground water from four reference wells indicated no human influence. Twenty-nine percent of agricultural wells were influenced by human activities, but nitrate concentrations were below EPA drinking-water standards. Only five percent of agricultural wells had nitrate concentrations that exceeded the MCL of 10 mg/L.

Thai rice export has faced many obstacles, including higher price when compared to competitors.
The situation has been aggravated by the strengtening baht, he added.
Honorary president Chookiat Ophaswongse added that the value of the estimated 5.7 million tonnes of rice export this year would be Bt115 billion, down 12 per cent year on year.
Another reason for the low export is the shortage of containers for transporting rice, he added.
Thai rice wins World's Best Rice Award 2020 (NNT) - Hom Mali, or Thai Jasmine fragrant rice, was named the best rice in the world at the 12th World Rice Conference 2020, held in the United States on 1-3 December.
The World Rice Conference has now held 12 contests and Thailand has won first prize six times at the contest – in 2009, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2020. Vietnam was ranked second and Cambodia third in the contest this year.
Mr. Charoen Laothammathat, President of the Thai Rice Exporters Association, said this year's rivals were from five countries, including Vietnam, Cambodia, China and the US. Twenty samples of rice are normally submitted. Thailand submitted only one rice sample, jasmine 105, grown in the Northeast and harvested in November. The 105 variety won in all criteria both before and after cooking. This year, the submitted Thai jasmine rice sample was of excellent quality due to favorable weather conditions making it drier, clearer and more fragrant than usual.
The prize that Thailand won this time, is in honor of King Rama IX who made a great contribution to the Thai rice industry because His Majesty the late King is the father of Thai rice research and development, celebrated on the occasions of Father's Day and National Day 2020.
It will also benefit Thai farmers and the Thai rice trading system because it enhances confidence in Thai rice quality on the world market.
Mr Jurin Laksanawisit, Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister said the Ministry of Commerce will continue the five-year Thai rice strategy 2020-2024, aiming to be the world's leading producer of rice and rice products. The prize will build confidence and raise the image of quality Thai rice on the world market.
The Prime Minister thanked all parties for their joint effort to enable Thailand to regain the status of global rice champion. The award would benefit farmers and Thai rice exports he said, as it would provide the world with evidence of the quality of Thai rice.
At the recent meeting of the National Rice Policy and Management Committee, the Prime Minister instructed relevant agencies to accelerate the development of new rice varieties, as well as production technology and innovation, in order to further boost the strength of Thai rice.
Can Thailand save its rice bowl, or will China, India and Vietnam eat it for lunch? Video below Jasmine rice, once the star of Thailand's grain exports, is facing the heat from cheaper varieties in the region As the country cooks up a plan to regain world dominance, observers say more incentives and support for farmers are needed
Thailand's famous jasmine rice claimed yet another top prize on the world stage this month, marking the sixth such honour the World Rice Conference has bestowed on the fluffy, fragrant and full-bodied grain since 2009.
The "Khao Dawk Mali 105" – a code name for the most renowned Thai jasmine rice variety – defeated rivals from Cambodia, China, the United States and Vietnam with "its combination of aroma, texture, and flavour", said the judging panel at the annual forum for rice suppliers and policymakers.
Thai growers attributed the win to an early onset of cool winds that swept Thailand 's northeast earlier this year, making the grains "particularly shiny, strong and fragrant", said Charoen Laothamatas, president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association.
But the recognition caps a difficult year for Thailand, which is set to see the lowest rice exports in two decades due to falling global demand caused by the coronavirus pandemic, the baht's strength and export competition from the likes of India, Vietnam and China.
In 2015, India dethroned Thailand as the world's top rice exporter, a position it had held for 35 years. India is set to export about 14 million tonnes of rice this year, up from 9.9 million tonnes last year.
This year, Thailand fell to No. 3, with Vietnam snatching the second spot. From January to October, Thailand exported 4.4 million tonnes of rice, down 31 per cent from a year before. In comparison, Vietnam shipped 5.3 million tonnes of rice in the same period, down 8 per cent from last year.
Thailand's rice exports to China, one of its biggest markets, also fell by 39 per cent this year.
While China remains a major market for Thai jasmine rice, known as hom mali, Charoen from the Thai Rice Exporters Association said Thai growers had in the past two years been badly affected by a drought that caused the prices of general white rice to spike, prompting China to seek other suppliers. It recently imported rice from India for the first time in decades to substitute unstable supplies from Southeast Asia, widening the competition gap even further. full article scmp.com
Over 2.4 million farmers to get cash assistance under rice price guarantee scheme from Dec 9 The Bank for Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives (BAAC) will disburse Bt20.4 billion to some 2.4 million farmers on Wednesday after the Cabinet approved an additional budget of Bt28 billion for the government's rice price guarantee scheme.
This amount is in addition to the originally santioned budget of Bt18 billion.
The scheme aims to compensate nationwide rice farmers of over 4.56 million households.
"The reason why the scheme needs a higher budget is that this year's rice prices have dropped more than previously estimated," said Kasab Ngernrungrong, BAAC deputy manager.
"The price of Hom Mali [jasmine] rice is currently Bt2,899 per tonne lower than the guarantee price, round rice is Bt877 per tonne lower, Pathum fragrant rice is Bt1,039 per tonne lower, and sticky rice is Bt933 per tonne lower."
The scheme limits the maximum amount of rice guaranteed per household: Hom Mali rice is capped at 14 tonnes, round and Pathum fragrant rice at 25 tonnes and sticky rice at 16 tonnes.
The BAAC also has earmarked Bt15.28 billion as subsidy for farmers who keep unmilled rice in their barns instead of selling to the mills in a bid to prevent oversupply which will cause the rice price to plummet further.
"Farmers who keep unmilled rice would get Bt1,500 subsidy per tonne, and they would be allowed to sell their rice when the price situation improves," he said.
"We estimate that towards the year-end more than 200,000 farmers will apply under the campaign.
"The bank would try to disburse the money under related schemes to rice farmers before the year-end so that they could invest in next year's cultivation as well as spend during the new year festival. We estimate that when combined with all available measures, a rice farmer could receive up to Bt70,000 from the BAAC," he added.
Besides rice, the BAAC is also responsible for price guarantee schemes of other crops, including rubber with a budget of Bt9.7 billion, tapioca (Bt9.5 billion), corn for animal feed (Bt1.8 billion), oil palm (Bt8.8 billion), and longan (Bt3.4 billion).
Drought strangling 4,000 rai of rice in Pichit, farmers plead for help
A massive 4,000 rai of rice in Pichit is dying due to the prolonged drought, forcing farmers to demand that the government create artificial rain to tackle the problem immediately.
Normally, rice plantations in the province rely on provincial irrigation during the rainy season, but the drought this year is playing havoc, much to the misery of farmers.
Pratuan Rungchat, a farmer in Nong Pla Lai sub-district, said he planted rice when there was some rain, but then the rain disappeared. Now, 90 per cent of his rice is dying, he said, and this is set to become 100 per cent if the dire situation continues. He's pleading with the government to offer a helping hand.
Thai rice exporters cut 2020 forecast to 6.5 million T, lowest in 20 years (Reuters) - Thailand's rice exporters association has slashed its forecast for 2020 exports to 6.5 million tonnes, the lowest volume in two decades, owing to drought and a strong baht currency, its executives said on Wednesday.
The industry group's latest forecast for Thailand, the world's second-largest rice exporter last year, is lower than its previous expectation of a seven-year low of 7.5 million tonnes for 2020.
The association attributed that to a persistently strong baht compared to other currencies and drought cutting Thai rice output by 5 million tonnes this production season, making prices higher and uncompetitive.
"The new forecast of 6.5 million tonnes is the lowest volume in 20 years," said Chookiat Ophaswongse, honorary president of the Thai Rice Exporters Association, adding the previous low was 6.15 million tonnes in 2000.
"This year will be a struggle."
From January to June, Thailand exported 3.14 million tonnes of rice, about a third less than the same period last year, the association's data showed, less than India's 4.53 million tonnes and the 4.04 million tonnes shipped by Vietnam.
Thailand's gains from India halting logistics during lockdown and Vietnam temporarily banning new contracts to ensure domestic supply amid the coronavirus crisis would be shortlived, and balanced out by flat demand, Charoen Laothamatas, the association's president.
"COVID-19 has made the market volatile, making importers buy more than usual earlier to stock up, but now they won't need to for a while," he said.
Sales of Thai premium-grade jasmine rice have risen by 63% this year, benefiting from panic-buying in wealthier markets like Singapore, Hong Kong, the United States and Canada.
Meanwhile, lower purchasing power globally has seen Thai white rice lose out to cheaper grades offered by Vietnam in key Asian markets like the Philippines.
China, once a Thai rice importer, was also beating Thailand in key African markets with cheaper prices.
Five types of rice covered by new price-guarantee scheme
The National Rice Policy Committee has approved a rice price-guarantee scheme for crop year 2020-21 for five types of rice with effect from September 1 until the end of harvesting season in May 2021, Deputy PM and Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said on Friday (July 17).
The five types of rice to be guaranteed under the scheme are:
▪︎ Hom Mali rice from the Northeast is guaranteed Bt15,000 per tonne up to 14 tonnes per household.
▪︎ Hom Mali rice grown elsewhere is guaranteed Bt14,000 up to 16 tonnes.
▪︎ Round rice is guaranteed Bt10,000 up to 30 tonnes.
▪︎ Hom Pathum Thani rice is guaranteed Bt11,000 up to 25 tonnes.
▪︎ Glutinous rice is guaranteed Bt12,000 up to 16 tonnes.
"The committee also approved the measure to slowdown the sale of rice when there is excess supply in the market which could result in the price plummeting," said Jurin. "Farmers who hold on to their rice stocks instead of selling them will be compensated at Bt1,500 per tonne. In case the farmers have submitted their produce to a cooperative, the compensation will be shared between the cooperative [Bt1,000 per tonne] and farmers [Bt500 per tonne]."
"Furthermore, the government will support 3 per cent of interest for millers who apply for loan to buy the rice and keep in their stock instead of selling while there is oversupply in the market," added Jurin.
"Lastly, the committee agreed to rename 'harvesting subsidy' as 'rice management and quality improvement subsidy', which is paid at Bt1,000 per rai, up to 20 rai per household," said Jurin. "Previously the harvesting subsidy created confusion as to whether or not the farmers were entitled to the money in case the paddy was damaged by natural disaster and could not be harvested." | agronomy |

I have been wondering lately if I should narrow my blog more (what do you think?). Honestly, my passions are writing, homesteading, and my family/kids. God has blessed me richly in each of these areas so let me know what you think!
On to today’s topic. I was driving back from taking my oldest kiddos to school this morning and it hit me, “It is gardening season! You are up to your elbows in plants! Share what has totally blown your mind this week!!” Any idea what that might have been?? DIRT!!! Yes….dirt!!
My hubby and I practice no-till gardening. This basically means instead of digging into the dirt and tilling it all up, we baby our dirt and build on top of it. So in the fall we create our garden beds. We add compost on top of our soil and wood chips. We let it sit and breakdown all winter and then use a hoe to gently pull the soil back a little and plant! Now, we had heard that you can grow simply and organically using this method by simply babying your dirt. When your plants get a good root system on them bugs go after the weaker plants instead of the stronger ones (i.e no pesticides). So we tried it this year. We plant all over our property. Our fertilizer comes from our chickens and rabbits (about as organic as it gets, right?) We plant our running green beans around little homemade teepees so they can run up and around them and it makes for much easier picking. One batch of beans was planted where we had our chicken brooder box for a bit. Right next to it, we planted more beans but the dirt hadn’t been built up quite as much considering this was our first year planting there. The results were mind blowing!! Well, you have to see for yourself……
The picture on the left are our first year of soil beans. They are lacking nitrogen still if you can tell. They have bug bites and apparently a weak root system. However, the picture on the right is rich in color, high in nitrogen apparently because of the green color, and hardly any bug bites! So the theory is true!
Does that not blow your mind? So stop wasting your money on expensive pesticides and start investing in your dirt. I’ll tell you how to do this with little cost to you….stay tuned!! | agronomy |

So, a member of the YouTube community decided to ask for a moment on science out of respect for Mr. Wizard.
What is Hydroponics?
Wikipedia defines hydroponics as:
Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions instead of soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel or Rockwool. A variety of techniques exist.
Basically, you grow plants in water, and with Chris’s hydroponics kit you can actually grown your own plants in water – it’s a safer and healthier way to eat your food.
While there are some maintenance issues (you need to keep adding nutrients so the plant can sustain itself), overall it’s a great way to grow your own food – and the food tastes better than anything you could buy at McDonalds.
Do you have a moment of science for Mr. Wizard?

QUT is at the forefront of this discipline with their Genomics Research Centre, a research facility that focuses on the identification of genes involved in common human disorders and the translation of this research into new diagnostics and therapeutics.
How can we feed the world’s skyrocketing population? There will be 9.5 billion people living in the world by 2050 – an increase of more than 2 billion over the next 30 years. Food production will need to double from current levels to meet this demand. QUT’s Centre for Tropical Crops and Biocommodities (CTCB) is working with food producers to develop essential crops that can thrive in drought, resist disease, and deliver much-needed nutrition to people all over the world.
A new translational research-focused partnership between food security and biotechnology company Elo Life Systems and QUT will offer hope for Australian farmers through the development of more resilient and nutritious crops. Elo Life Systems-Australia, launched this week at QUT’s Gardens Point campus, will use Elo’s genome-editing and multi-scale biology platforms to develop and commercialise protein-rich and nutritionally enhanced crops in collaboration with QUT researchers. The work will focus on tropical and sub-tropical horticultural and grain crops of relevance to Australia, including pulse legumes such as chickpeas and mung beans.
Elo Life Systems team of creative minds is dedicated to improving human health and wellness through food by working across the value chain, integrating technologies and enabling efficient food production systems. QUT engaged Quadric to deliver the Molecular Genetics Lab in Q5 at Gardens Point Campus to collaborate with Elo Life Systems to continue their ground breaking work. Quadric were engaged to deliver the lab on a construct only basis working in conjunction with the designers RAL and the project managers Cadence. The existing space housed offices and required complete strip out, followed by extensive services rough-in to prepare for it’s proposed use. Specialist laboratory services and equipment featured heavily in the space. The laboratory required to be certified to both PC2 and BC2 standards which involved careful consultation with the third party auditors in order to identify and implement correct working procedures to ensure that there were minimal defects at final inspection time. The project was delivered on time and to a high standard, meeting not only all necessary scientific standards but also to a bespoke quality expected from this joint partnership. | agronomy |

Anykščių Vynas intends to buy about 20,000 tonnes of various types of apples to produce juice, juice concentrates, natural wines, cider and other products.
Liubovė Rebiatnikova, production manager of Anykščių Vynas, says that the owners of larger gardens as well as individual growers are invited to sell their apples. Before the arrival of carriers, for their convenience, apple sellers should register in the electronic queue management system. This system was launched last year and plays a very important role.
“Using this system, carriers from all over Lithuania arrive at the distillery’s harvest purchase points at the appointed time. They avoid queuing and can save time. The harvest is delivered faster and more conveniently,” says Rebiatnikova, pointing out that the system also helps to avoid unnecessary paperwork, because all the necessary documents indicating the purchase are kept in the electronic space.
In order to make it even more convenient to deliver apples, this year Anykščių Vynas also installed a parking lot for carriers. It is located in the vicinity of the distillery.
“Our factory is situated in the very centre of Anykščiai. So, if carriers arrive earlier or not at the appointed time, sometimes there are queues in the city. To avoid such congestion, this year we will invite the carriers to park their vehicles in a specially designed parking lot. This would be more convenient for both sellers and residents of the city,” points out Rebiatnikova.
Moreover, as the apple buying season has started, Anykščių Vynas intends to expand the team of employees – the distillery is looking for apple sorters and unloading operators for extra work during the season.
No waste from purchased apples
Anykščių Vynas produces more than 100 different products from apples, among which natural wines or ciders are well known to consumers in Lithuania. Juice, juice concentrate and natural aromatic substances are also produced in the distillery.
According to Rebiatnikova, the purchased apples are fully produced, without generating any waste. “Green production is a global trend that we also follow. We use the apples we buy right up to the seeds, speaking figuratively. Fruit juices are used for the production of different beverages and concentrates. The rest of the pulp is dried and sold to producers of pectin which is used in the food and pharmaceutical industries,” suggests Rebiatnikova. She adds that modern technologies in the distillery allow ensuring the production process without waste.
The factory exports 30% of the beverages produced. Anykščių Vynas products are available in almost 20 countries of the world. Perhaps the most popular product in the international market is juice concentrates, of which about 95% is exported abroad.
The biggest share of juice concentrates from Anykščių Vynas is bought in Germany – about 70% of juice concentrates is exported to this country. The rest of the juice concentrate export goes to Austria, Hungary, Poland and Estonia.
Anykščių Vynas plans to finish the apple purchase season in mid-November. | agronomy |

By one expert’s calculation, about half the world’s population sleeps better each night for having consumed grain descended from one of the varieties he helped develop. His biographer called him The Man Who Fed the World, and he was one of only five persons ever to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal, and the Nobel Peace Prize. Yet most Americans have never heard of him.
“In the middle of the 20th century,” Bill Gates recently said at the World Food Prize Symposium, “experts predicted famine and starvation, but they turned out to be wrong—because they did not predict Norman Borlaug.”
Borlaug, who died in September at the age of 95, was born in rural Cresco, Iowa. His early life is the stuff of storybooks—born in the family farmhouse, educated in a one-room schoolhouse, and remembered for whistling aloud as he milked the cows. Although he initially failed the entrance exam to the University of Minnesota, he was not easily deterred from his goals. He eventually worked his way through college, including a stint as a Civilian Conservation Corps leader. He witnessed hunger during the Depression, and it left an indelible impression on him.
After taking a doctorate in plant pathology, Borlaug secured a promising post with DuPont in 1942. Just two years later, however, he walked away from it, despite an offer to double his salary. He moved to Mexico in order to head up a new research project designed to improve wheat production amidst food shortages.
Increase production he did, but not before encountering obstacles of every imaginable kind. Not only were the crops diseased and the soil depleted, but the sun was hot and research funds limited. More discouragingly still, he encountered resistance to his ideas among both local farmers and his supervisor, leading him at one point to resign (only to be reinstated by a superior). According to the New York Times, Borlaug “battled illness, forded rivers in flood, dodged mudslides and sometimes slept in tents.” Still, he remained in Mexico for 16 years.
Borlaug helped innovate new techniques, including the selective breeding of wheat to resist a fungus called rust, and “shuttle breeding.” Challenging conventional wisdom, Borlaug tested varieties in diverse climates by transporting or “shuttling” them across great distances, which simultaneously increased the breeding cycles per year and generated crops that were adapted to a wider range of conditions.
Perhaps Borlaug’s greatest contribution to food production was “dwarfing”—crossbreeding that resulted in shorter, sturdier plants that could support high yields. The results were breathtaking. Within a few years, production per acre increased by a factor of three to four; fifteen years after his arrival, wheat production in Mexico had increased sixfold; eventually, Mexico began exporting wheat.
Although by 1960 his credentials already would have ranked him among the world’s great humanitarians had he chosen to retire, this was Norman Borlaug, and he was just getting started. In the 1960s, when India and Pakistan had a food crisis, they contacted Borlaug, who attempted to deliver 35 truckloads of wheat seeds from Mexico. Again the obstacles were great. Not least of all, Borlaug arrived to find India and Pakistan—his hosts—at war. With artillery flashes literally lighting the sky over their shoulders, Borlaug and his Mexican assistants began sowing the soil with seeds. The image illustrates Borlaug’s conviction that prosperity is a prerequisite of peace. Stunningly, Pakistan was self-sufficient in three years, and India in six.
Curiously, Borlaug’s work was controversial. Some environmentalists were critical of his use of fertilizer, pesticides, and even tractors. “If [Western environmentalists] lived just one month amid the misery of the developing world,” Borlaug responded, “as I have for 50 years, they’d be crying out for tractors and fertilizer and irrigation canals and be outraged that fashionable elitists in wealthy nations were trying to deny them these things.” As Gregg Easterbrook points out in his remembrance of Borlaug, the irony of these criticisms is that high-yield agriculture has preserved forests that otherwise almost certainly would have been converted to pasture, and slowed population growth as education became valued more highly than muscle power.
To be sure, much work remains in balancing food production with conservation, and with food security in general, especially in Africa. In Africa as elsewhere, however, today’s research builds on that of Borlaug. His techniques have been applied to other grains, such as rice, and other nations, including China. Bill Gates, co-chair of the largest foundation in the world, specifically attributes his interest in agricultural development to the successes of the “Green Revolution.”
The details of Borlaug’s life have been made more widely known in articles on the front page of the New York Times and elsewhere in recent weeks. For all the light they shine on Borlaug’s distinguished career, however, most of these articles shed little light on the man.
Most of the reportage on Borlaug entails what the reporters at GetReligion.org (motto: “The press just doesn’t get religion”) call a “holy ghost”—a story about religion that remains invisible. The New York Times article, for example, despite running 2200 words, including mention of “stalwart community of Norwegian immigrants,” nowhere mentions the word “Lutheran.”
As GetReligion.org puts it, the Times “failed to address the big Why question, leaving readers wondering what motivated Borlaug’s lifelong crusade to combat hunger and famine by increasing food production.” After all, moving to Mexico wasn’t exactly a career move.
According to Rev. David Beckman, President of Bread for the World, Borlaug was “a man of faith and compassion . . . an advocate as well as a scientist.” Indeed, Borlaug was one of the first trustees of Bread for the World (motto: “Have faith. End hunger.”)
For an answer to the big Why question, one need look no further than Borlaug’s Nobel Prize acceptance speech. “The recognition that hunger and social strife are linked is not new,” Borlaug said, “for it is evidenced by the Old Testament passage ‘and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their King and their God.’” Modern scientific and technological skills, he added, may help “Isaiah’s prophesies come true: ‘And the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose… And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water.’”
Easterbrook calls Borlaug a hero—someone “who can provide [a constructive example] to the young.” Although Borlaug surely had aptitudes that many of us do not, in most respects—his self-sacrifice, his determination in the face of failure, and his willingness to live and labor among the poor—he made vivid virtues that can in fact be imitated by most mere mortals. In Asia, Africa, and the Americas, his modus operandi was the same: he saw a need, addressed it with his time and talents, and never gave up.
That Borlaug remains an unfamiliar name to most Americans is unfortunate, but not necessarily surprising. Arguably, there has never been a time and place in history that appreciates the headline: “Remarkable man forsakes lifestyle of rich and famous to serve the poor; dies in relative obscurity.”

The report reviews available research on the links between agriculture and the rest of the economy, with a focus on structural adjustment and the role of agriculture in economic growth and poverty reduction. Furthermore, the report discusses the links between agricultural production, nutrition and food security. The report discusses constraints on agricultural growth, both external constraints, such as roads and other infrastructure, institutional constraints that may reflect market failures, and more immediate constraints such as lack of modern seeds, fertilizers and irrigation. At all levels underlying market failures are identified, and relevant policy interventions are discussed. The report concludes that agricultural policies should be integrated with general policies for development in remote areas. Government and donor-supported safety nets may help in reducing the risks facing poor farmers, and thus allow them to invest in potentially more productive techniques. Such safety nets may target other sectors, with the health sector being potentially the most important one, since own labor is the main source of income for poor people. Emergency aid, or other social protection systems, will also provide villagers with the necessary safety nets. Beyond insurance and basic income support, there is a need to invest in roads, infrastructure, basic education, and training in improved agricultural techniques, including localized soil management systems. Training should be linked to localized research and extension services, including model farmers at the village level. | agronomy |

Make the most of your investment with a little bit of planning.
Starting seeds at the proper time, indoors or directly in the garden, ensures an excellent start to the growing season. Check the back of the seed packet for planting times and directions.
Consult your local Extension Service’s website for more details on the best time to plant in your area.
Organize your seeds by when they need to be started. You can create your own system or invest in one like Gardener’s Supply’s seed envelopes and dividers. This system allows you to arrange seeds by type, planting season, color, garden location, and more. Use your storage system to keep leftover seeds organized for future plantings. It will also save you money on future seed orders. Just be sure to place the seeds in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Enter planting dates on your calendar as well. Months pass quickly, and it is easy to miss essential planting times. Creating a planting calendar will help you plant seeds at the proper time for the maximum benefit.
Gather seed starting equipment and supplies if starting seeds indoors. You will need a quality seed-starting or potting mix and clean containers. Use yogurt and other small food containers for starting seeds. Drill holes in the bottom and clean them before planting. You can use old plant containers but avoid disease problems by sanitizing them first. Soak them in a one-part bleach and nine-arts water solution for ten minutes. Then rinse in clear water before filling with planting mix.
Or try one of the new plastic-free, environmentally friendly seed starting options. Use a paper pot maker (gardeners.com) to convert newspaper into biodegradable plant pots. Consider cow pots made of composted manure that provide nutrients in a biodegradable pot. You can leave your seedlings in these containers when moving them into the garden.
Create your own pot-free seed starter with Gardener’s Supply soil blocker. It presses moist potting mix into blocks that hold their shape. The blocks can be moved directly into the garden, reducing transplant shock.
Follow the directions on the seed packets for depth and care. Most seeds prefer warm conditions but do not need light to sprout. Keep the planting mix moist. Cover the containers with a sheet of plastic to conserve moisture and extend the time between watering.
Once you see any green, it is time to move the seedlings into bright light or under artificial lights. Keep the lights on for no more than 14 to 16 hours and four to six inches above the plants’ top for best results.
Once your plants are actively growing, you can begin fertilizing if needed. Check the planting mix you are using to see if the blend includes fertilizer and how long it will be effective before adding more. If you need to add fertilizer, follow the label directions on the fertilizer you select.
Share the fun and workload with family and friends. Maybe you will start tomatoes; another person handles the peppers and yet another person the eggplants. Or share extra seeds with everyone since each packet usually contains more than most gardeners have space to grow.
Before you know it, you will have a burgeoning garden for all to enjoy. | agronomy |

at | 05:01 GMT
Agricultural stakeholders in the Central Region have unanimously expressed their readiness to embrace Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and biotechnology tools in agricultural production.
The stakeholders, made up of agricultural extension officers, farmers and farmers’ groups and officials of Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA), s
aid the new technology had the potential of increasing crop yield, reduce farm cost and post-harvest loses, which could undoubtedly enhance food productio and food security in the country.
GMOs are created when genes are moved artificially from one species to another, which produces improved varieties.
Despite the fact that Government had instituted necessary legal framework and administrative procedures in the form of enacting the Biosafety Act and the establishment of the National Biosafety Commission,
GMOs have received stiff opposition in Ghana with regards to its introduction and produce.Burkina Faso, Uganda and South Africa are the only African countries to have embraced GMOs.
According to the farmers, “whether we like it or not, GMOs have come to stay. The world is changing and we have gotten to a place where we cannot do away with science and technology”.
“It is either we embrace this scientific method of farming to improve food production to address hunger and poverty or we remain ignorant and suffer the consequences,” they added.
This came to light during a day’s sensitisation workshop organised by the Open Forum on Agricultural Biotechnology (OFAB) in Africa, to educate farmers about the remunerations of modern biotechnology and how it was connected to food security and poverty reductionIt was aimed at developing strong communication and engender discussion on modern biotechnology among stakeholders in agriculture, to the remove the myths and create acceptance for the Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).
It was also to help promote understanding of biotechnology as a means of propelling economic growth, improve food security and address climate chang.Biotechnology is the exploitation of biological processes for industrial and other purposes, especially the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics and hormones among others.The lack of understanding, ignorance and misinformation in the public domain about the use of the modern biotechnology in agriculture, had created negative perceptions about the scientific methods of multiplying diseases resistant crops.
The farmers were much convinced that GMO foods were already on the market because of international trade and believed that it will be a dis-service to the country if government did not accept it.
Addressing the farmers on the economic benefits of GMOs, Dr Richard Ampadu-Ameyaw, National Coordinator of OFAB Ghana, stressed that it was about time the government accepted GMOs to uplift the status of agriculture in the country.
He pointed out that biotechnology in agriculture was like any other technological application that used biological systems and living organisms to make or modify products, and that GMO food were not harmful as it was being propagated.
He said GMOs were certified by worldwide regulatory Agencies such as the World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agricultural Organisations (FAO), United States Food and Drugs Authority (US-FDA) among others.
Dr Ampadu-Ameyaw further stated that GMOs had been used and was still being used in other countries without any reported health implication on humans.
Mr. Daniel Osei Ofosu, a Biotechnologist at the Nuclear Agriculture Research Institute of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission mentioned that there were no known GMO foods on the Ghanaian market neither were they being planted.
He appealed to stakeholders including politicians, traditional rulers, farmers, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and the media to embrace the biotechnology concept for an improved food security in the country. | agronomy |

Just like nonna made it.
There is no feeling quite like eating a ripe tomato, fresh off the vine.
As summer lengthens there are certain ingredients just reaching their peak.
The last tomatoes picked can often times be the best - since they start growing in midsummer, these later season fruits have been "sun drenched" which boosts their flavor.
If your late season tomato crop is abundant........
And unsure what to do with all this copious, fresh and delicious fruit - or vegetable, depending on who you ask!
Did you catch that?
A. Single. Plant.
Maybe your tomato crop isn't quite so abundant as this!
However even if your tomato haul is a fraction, there is always the question - how not to waste excess fruit.
Not to worry - we know just what to do with your summer tomato haul.
What to do with Excess Tomatoes
From middle of summer right through to the end of September, locally grown tomatoes are at their peak.
How to make the most of your ripe tomatoes before they go bad ?
One of the best summer feelings is making tomato sauce from your home grown tomato crop.
Pomarola is a classic Tuscan tradition of using tomatoes and encompasses everything you think of about Italian food: family, seasonality, self-sufficiency and copious amounts of tomatoes.
And even if you have battled (and lost) the fight against marauding gangs of squirrels and the like, you can still make tomato sauce from locally grown produce.
Local farmers market, truck markets and produce stands are awash with the best tastes at the height of summer.
Even your local store often sells homegrown tomatoes by the weight at this time of year.
So if you have been harvesting some big, beautiful juicy red tomatoes faster than you can eat or give them away, try this simple recipe for a quick & easy tomato sauce.
Transform your juicy, glorious summer tomatoes into this simple but wonderfully flavoursome sauce with minimum effort.
Oven Roasted Tomatoes
This recipe has a twist by oven roasting seasoned tomatoes for extra richness.
The easiest thing to do is to roast a huge tray of backyard tomatoes - and just add wonderful sea salt flakes, garlic and herbs for extra flavor.
In no time the most beautiful smell will start wafting through your house - a sensory marriage of sea salt, garlic, herbs and tomatoes.
Just add hand picked bunch of basil, oregano and rosemary (thyme would also be great) to the tray.
If you could bottle the essence of Italian cooking - this is what you would imagine a Tuscan summer would smell like.
In no time, open the oven and find beautiful trays of roasted tomatoes.
And looks like something from the cover of Epicure.........
The Easiest Tomato Sauce Recipe
Serves 4 – 6
What You Need
Hint: Gather herbs early in the day, after the dew has dried but before the sun bakes the plants' essential oils.
Herb scissors are perfect for adding garnish and cuts without bruising or crushing herbs.
Snip herbs neatly and quickly with the Jenaluca Herb Scissors
These herb scissors are Amazons highest rated.
What You Do
Tomatoes and Sea Salt
Tomatoes and Sea Salt is a match made in culinary heaven.
Even the best home grown tomatoes can be vastly improved with one simple ingredient - and that ingredient is salt.
Salt does more than just season your food— salt actually intensifies the flavour of tomatoes.
If you are going to all the trouble of growing your own fruit and vegetables and cooking the produce for your family - only the best will do.
Maldon Sea Salt
The soft flaky texture and cleanness of natural Maldon Sea Salt is unsurpassed - it genuinely makes all the difference.
The iconic Maldon Sea Salt Flakes box is adorned with the Royal Warrant of the Queen of England and produced by a 135-year-old family-owned salt works on the southeast coast of England.

The good news is that you can take a trip to Italy without ever leaving your city! To draw attention to Italy’s ideal conditions, quality, guaranteed safety, and sophistication associated with Italy’s long artistic heritage, “The European Art of Taste: Italian Fruit & Veg Masterpieces” will be held by Italy’s leading fruit and vegetable producers – Centro Servizi Ortofrutticoli (CSO) in partnership with the European Union – for its 3rd consecutive year, this time at MIAN, the latest addition to The Murray’s exciting portfolio of dining establishments. With 40 years of experience under his belt and profound knowledge of the diverse Chinese culinary heritage, Chef Ronald Shao presents an innovative menu honouring the finest Italian produce, prepared with authentic Chinese techniques.
Thanks to its unique microclimate and rich soils, Italy is one of the leading fruit and vegetable producing countries in Europe. The EU quality production system stands out worldwide for its stringent product protection requirements. A traceability system allows individual agricultural producers to be traced; and organic certification guarantees organic production, prohibiting the use of synthetic chemicals and promoting environmental sustainability. Italy has long been widely known for its prominent culinary culture. Purchasing European Italian products also means purchasing products of excellence. The European quality checking system safeguards PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) and PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) certified products by involving the entire agri-food industry. Currently, there are 93 PDO and PGI certified products in the agri-food industry, such as Arancia Rossa di Sicilia PGI (Blood oranges from Sicily), Cosda Pear, Italian Kiwi and more. Protocols and certifications have been developed through a series of extensive and accurate checks. These signs of progress demonstrate how much food safety is valued by the “Made in Italy” market, allowing the country to thrive and flourish in an ever-expanding economy. Italy has currently 3.64 million tonnes of fruit and vegetables exported with a value of 4.59 million euro.
“In Chinese culture, the ingredients play a major role in creating the distinctive flavours. Italian produce is fresh and full of flavours that can be fun and easy to incorporate in Chinese cuisine.” says Chef Ronald Shao, who has diverse culinary experience from Saudi Arabia and Singapore. He created a special tailor-made menu for this campaign, introducing dishes including “Boston Lobster with Organic Tricolour Quinoa with Chinese Tea Fragrant White Peach Jelly” to start, “Crispy Mantis Shrimp Fillet with Shallot Oil & Lemon with Prickly Pear Sauce”, “Pan-fried Spotted Grouper Fish Fillet with Sweet and Sour Plum Tomato Sauce” as well as “Double Boiled Cosda Pear with Honey Locust Fruit, Fritillaria Bulb & Tangerine peel” along with a refreshing “Kiwi and Osmanthus Daiquiri” & “Blood Orange Juice” & Lemon with Prickly Pear, Sauce Pan-fried Spotted Grouper Fish Fillet with Sweet and Sour Plum Tomato Sauce.
European Italian fruit and vegetables will be seasonally available on the Hong Kong market.

I still have vivid memories of munching on peas, digging up potatoes and making "chive soup" (my sister and I made it up, recipe as follows: sun-warmed water from the garden hose and chives chopped up with our craft scissors in an old plastic margarine tub, and yes, it was as gross as it sounds). Unfortunately, I didn't pay much attention to the gardening part, just the eating part.
This year I was determined to grow my own produce. I am trying out this whole "adult" thing, after all, so it seemed fitting. I started by doing a bit of half-assed google research, traveled two cities over to get a couple free gardening classes and then just kinda started. I am certainly not an expert yet, but I think sometimes us average people have to help each other get the ball rolling. And maybe we can learn from each other too.
I really hope I can encourage you all to grow some veggies. Big or small, theres always a good reason to get started. Certainly flower gardening has it's perks, too, don't get me wrong. But I fall into the lazy AF category of flower gardening, where I want to plant a hosta somewhere, do nothing and pray it comes back every year until I move. Though, I'm sure that will change when I am a home owner.
If you are thinking about trying out a wee bit of gardening, here are some good questions to get you started in this mindset:
How much space do you have?
Do you want a raised bed, in ground or container garden?
How much sun do you get? Most vegetables need full sun (or at least ~6 hours per day)
Do you want to start from seed or buy plants?
Do you have any garden pests? (bunnies, deer, racoons, squirrels, bugs)
What is your soil like? (clay, sand, rocky)
What kind of vegetables do you want to eat? And what will grow in your region?
At the end of the day, you can just start with one or two plants and see how they do. I did container gardening on my balcony this past summer, and I will post more about that soon. | agronomy |

The Green Artisan Retailers & Designers Environmental Networking Space (GARDENS) Pod Project started in March 2016 with 10 pod sites dispersed throughout the Etobicoke area. Since then the project has produced more than 200 kg of fruits and vegetables annually. Initiated by the Office of Principal at Lakeshore Campus and LAMP Community Health Centre (CHC), the project aims to establish relationships and increase community engagement while addressing environmental concerns and food security issues in South Etobicoke. A portion of the harvest is donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank and other programs related to food and community engagement.
LAMP CHC is a proud educational partner of the GARDENS pod project and is also helping promote food security and sustainability by encouraging food production.
“The project contributes to improving health and wellbeing in multiple ways such as increasing community residents’ contact with greenery, promoting locally produced food, addressing food security, advancing knowledge of food and urban agriculture, and building social connections and community, “says Sandra Van, GARDENS Co-chair and Health promoter at LAMP CHC.
The GARDENS Pod Project hosts interactive-education sessions and excursions that are geared towards beginner gardeners, families, children and more. Ten workshops and three excursions will be included in The GARDENS Pod Project 2019. “Community interest in gardening and food production has flourished. The project provides an innovative and accessible model for residents to get involved, to learn and be part of the green movement,’ says Van.
The project is also creating employment opportunities. In 2018, three seasonal employees were hired with the support of Canada Summer Jobs and Humber College.
Lucy McCulloch, Operations Coordinator and Promi Nahar, Educational Coordinator, are employed as interns for the summer and are contributing their knowledge to educate the community about the project and are also responsible for its maintenance. “I have learned a lot of different things, including the element of building relationships with the community,” says McCulloch.
Many of the GARDENS Pod sites are equipped with solar powered self-watering systems and uses only organic practices, no chemical fertilizers and pesticides. | agronomy |

It is estimated that livestock industries consume 8% of the global water supply, with most of that water being used for intensive, feed-based production. This study takes a broad perspective of livestock production as a component of the human food chain, and considers the efficiency of its water use. Global models are in the early stages of development and do not distinguish between developing and developed countries, or the production systems within them. However, preliminary indications are that, when protein production is adjusted for biological value in the human diet, no plant protein is significantly more efficient at using water than protein produced from eggs, and only soybean is more water efficient than milk and goat and chicken meat. In some regions, especially developing countries, animals are not used solely for food production but also provide draught power, fibre and fertiliser for crops. In addition, animals make use of crop by-products that would otherwise go to waste. The livestock sector is the fastest-growing agricultural sector, which has led to increasing industrialisation and, in some cases, reduced environmental constraints. In emerging economies, increasing involvement in livestock is related to improving rural wealth and increasing consumption of animal protein. Water usage for livestock production should be considered an integral part of agricultural water resource management, taking into account the type of production system (e.g. grain-fed or mixed crop–livestock) and scale (intensive or extensive), the species and breeds of livestock, and the social and cultural aspects of livestock farming in various countries.

Industrial hemp tour added to annual review of research
The University of Missouriís Southwest Research Center will open its doors to the public to share information about the latest agricultural research and innovations at the research farm on its annual Field Day, slated for 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 12. The farm is located at 14548 Highway H, east of the Mt. Vernon airport.
This is the second year Field Day has been combined into a one-day event, attended by both the public at large and agriculture students from high schools across southwest Missouri.
New to the program this year will be an industrial hemp tour, from 12:30-2 p.m., in addition to the beef tour and horticulture tour, both beginning at 12:30 p.m. David Cope, research center superintendent, has confirmed the center will explore the fundamentals of growing hemp for industrial use as part of its research.
More than 30 presenters will speak on dairy, horticulture, soil and beef cattle. Topics will include ice cream making, technology on the farm, dairy cattle nutrition, high tunnel productivity, field crop scouting, agronomy, beef cattle reproduction, electrical safety, veterinary medicine, the origins of breakfast, meat cuts of a cow, the food label market and others.
No speakers will talk on the viticulture research at the center this year. Jendel Wolfe, business support specialist for the center, said wet weather contributed to a mold problem that largely wiped out this yearís crop, an issue other growers around the area also experienced.
The new 3,800-square-foot conference center building will be in use for some of the presentations for the first time. Ground was broken for the facility during the 2018 Field Day on Sept. 13, 2018. A formal ribbon cutting for the building will be held on Oct. 25.
Meals will be available at midday for a $5 donation to the Southwest Center. Food has been donated by Schreiber Foods, whose staff will be on hand cooking and serving.
Field Day provides an opportunity for local gardeners and ag producers to speak to experts about their issues, as well as learning about innovations stemming from studies underway at the center. Additional information is available by contacting Cope via email at [email protected]. | agronomy |

Last year I posted an article showing how to plant Thuja Green Giants. I purchased 3 plants from Botany Shop Garden Center and planted them to screen a storage shed from being seen from the road.
While researching screening shrubs, I read lots of conflicting claims on the internet about their growth rate. Some say their trees only grew a couple inches per year while others say that they grew several feet per year. After surfing the internet for an hour or so, I was unable to locate a good documentary showing the growth rate of the Green Giant. This inspired me to create this yearly documentary to give people an idea of my experience and what they can expect. Keep in mind that results will vary from region to region and everyone s soil and lighting conditions will be different.
Year zero –Planting the saplings (July 2011)
In July of 2011 I decided to plant these green giants. While July is not the ideal month to transplant these shrubs, it is still possible as long as you keep them well watered.
These trees were planted on the south side of the house in the Piedmont region of central North Carolina. The soil here filled with clay and rock, making it difficult to cultivate. One plant receives full sunlight while the others 2 are partly shaded by the shadow of my home. For those who do not know, NC summers are hot and humid while winters are fairly mild.
The trees that I purchased arrived in the mail and stood a proud 20-21” tall.
Each tree was planted about 3’ apart. I amended the soil with a peat moss enriched landscaping soil and fertilized 3-4 times a year with Osmocote fertilizer. During the first 3 months I watered every day. Hardwood mulch was added to help retain moisture.
Year one– Root Establishment (August 2012)
It has been one year since I planted my Green Giants. So far they have seen growth of 16”, 15”, and 12”. At this point it seems as if the plants favor sunlight over partial shade as the one planted in the sunny part has grown 4” taller than the one in the shady area.
They appear to be very healthy and bright green. Over the winter I experienced browning on the tips of some plants but this eventually went away. I once read somewhere that when you transplant such a tree it takes 3 years to start seeing substantial growth so I am looking forward to next summers measurements. The theory of three years goes something like this – A year to recover from shock, a year to establish a strong root system and the third year of extreme growth. I suppose the plants are recovering from transplant shock and developing a strong root system at this stage.
Year Two -Growing but still not “Giants” (August 2013)
I have to admit, growth this year fell a little short of my expectations. In the past year they have grown an additional 17″, 15″ and 13″as seen from front to back. Comparing these numbers to the previous years numbers, the growth rate is striking similar.
Once again, the furthest tree from the house grew the most, likely due to more sun exposure than the others.
I have been continuing with the Osmocote twice a year.
The tree girth is beginning to thicken and they are really starting to spread out.
Year Three – Short of expectations (August 2014)
It’s been three years since I planted my three Green Giant saplings. After last year I was anticipating some major growth this year. However, I was a bit disappointed in the growth over the past 365 days. From front to back they grew 13″, 14″ and 13″. While not growing much taller, they are however becoming noticeably fuller and are very healthy and green. Overall, they are between 5′ to 5.5 ft tall at this point.
Once again, I have been feeding them Osmocote a couple times per year.
Year Four – Slight increase in growth rate (August 2015)
Another year has passed and this time we added 22″, 19″, & 16″ of additional growth. Once again, the tree furthest from the house grew more rapidly than the other two likely because of the additional sunlight. Growth rate this year has surpassed growth in previous years.
The NC winter was rather cold this year which may have had an impact on growth.
Throughout the year I gave them a couple soups of Osmocote.
At this point, they are 6′-7′ tall.
Year Five – Average of 16″ of Growth
At year five I was expecting rapid growth, however, this still does not seem to be the case. On average, my Green Giants grew 16″ since last August. My tallest one, which gets the most sun, stands just under 9′. My shortest one, in the middle is about 7.5′ tall.
Moving forward, I’m not anticipating any huge jumps in height or girth in the upcoming months. It looks like 16″ of growth per year is about as good as it gets. I’m trying to remain optimistic for next year but I’m quickly losing hope.
Year Six – Still growing at the same rate
This I had to climb a 6′ ladder to measure plant #1. Due to the height and limbs that are in the way of my tape measure, they are becoming difficult to measure. The largest Green Giant measures over 10′ tall while the shortest, which receives the least amount of sun, is just over 9′ tall.
Between the three, the average gains were a not-so-impressive 14″.
Over the past year I did not add fertilizer as I have in the past which may have resulted in less gains in comparison to previous years.
Its been six years since I planted these and I’m seeing less than a foot and a half of growth each year. | agronomy |

Once the harvest is in, there is still much to do to ready the garden for the following year!
- Plant garlic for next year. We harvest our fall-planted garlic in July the following year. Come fall (shortly before the first frost), you will want to plant new or saved garlic cloves. This July, we harvested about 100 garlic bulbs. Each variety was planted in mid-September of 2020. The garlic needs to dry before it can be stored. Some save garlic heads to share, replant, or roast with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh rosemary from the garden. There is nothing better to remind you of your laborious love in the garden than fresh herbs and vegetables on your plate.
- Clean your garden of all leftover plants. Cleaning up the garden will reduce the chances of disease and future problems.
- Use your leaves as mulch. Once clean-up is done, rake leaves and, if possible, shred them. (A mulching mower that bags both grass and leaves will do the trick here.) Use them in the garden as mulch, raking them to an even level. No trip to the dump for your leaves! They are helping your garden! Water them down at this point. Our leaf mulch is often 3-5 inches deep for the winter season. In the spring, the fall mulch will have composted on its own and become compost in the garden as we hand or rototill it in. Using leaves in the garden is a wonderful way to continue to teach kids in the garden. Not only do they enjoy raking them up and jumping in them, which helps break them down, but it also educates them on life cycle, recycling, and decomposition.
- If you have been harvesting throughout the season, try your hand at canning or freezing your produce to eat throughout the long Midwest winter. With a slight blanching, most veggies can be frozen. We like to pressure can tomatoes, salsas, and occasionally other veggies. An excellent resource for canning and preserving fruits and vegetables is https://www.extension.iastate.edu/humansciences/preserve-taste-summer which includes courses and publications available that are research-based. There is nothing so satisfying as opening a can of your ginger peach jam in January and spreading it on toast.
- Help the birds and insects through the winter by leaving some tall stalks with perennial flower seed heads intact. These not only make beautiful winter landscapes, but they make tasty treats for the birds. Long grasses are beneficial to the birds and insects during the winter.
- Clean out your pots and grow bags. At the end of every season, it is important to clean your pots and bags to get them ready for the next year. Cleaning helps prevent disease being carried over to the next gardening term. Another advantage to the cleanout is to save ceramic pots, which tend to crack if you leave the soil in them.
- Collect seeds. If there are annuals, perennials, or even favorite vegetables you wish to try again another year, let seed heads age on the plant, and just before they start dropping, claim those seeds for your own. These seeds can be stored or shared with family and friends to grow during the next garden season. A great resource for this is Seed Savers Exchange https://www.seedsavers.org/, where a course is offered on learning how to save seeds.
- Think about drip irrigation for your vegetable and perennial garden beds. Many gardeners create drip irrigation by using hose connectors, simple measurements, shears, and forethought for planning their garden course of irrigation. This can be as simple as laying soaker hoses through the plots, using landscape staples to secure them, and then hooking up a hose or directional Y’s and specified hoses designated for gardens. Doing what meets your needs for your garden, your budget, and your body are the primary goals of drip irrigation. Often, this simple solution, done in the off-season, will help save money, time, and stress in the long run.
- Composting! This is gold. As gardeners, we strive to constantly rejuvenate our soil. We take from the soil, and we give to the soil as part of the soil food chain. With our own food scraps, in the right way, it is wonderful to spread our very own compost. This is also a golden lesson to share with kids. Not only do they learn about refreshing their soil in their backyard, but they also learn about decreasing waste that is sent to their local dump. There are a variety of compost options. Do some research to see what works best for your yard and your family. You might also want to try vermicomposting where a few red wiggler worms will create compost for you from your kitchen scraps. Try the book: Worms Eat My Garbage, by Mary Appelhof, Flower Press (ISBN 0-942256-10-7). Kids love helping to feed the worms, and it is a simple compost building opportunity to connect the whole family to life cycles and healthy gardening.
- Bring plants that can be overwintered into the house. Several annuals can overwinter inside your house with the right conditions. The first condition for all plants being moved inside is light. Choose the right light location, avoiding drafts for the fall and winter. Often, additional grow lights can be added for better results. In many cases, during the fall we see gardeners start to bring in their favorite geraniums. Geraniums are known for their ability to be enjoyed indoors, and then hardened off to be appreciated once more for another season outside. Likewise, annual loving gardeners, who plant cannas, elephant ear, and more learn that these can be relocated inside, wiped clean of soil, and wrapped in newspaper, and stored in the dark until spring. Similarly, many herbs can be gently lifted from the soil or transplanted into a pot and brought inside to enjoy throughout the winter.
- BONUS__Start watching for seed catalogs. Be thinking about what you want for next year. This starts as soon as the harvest is in, the garden is cleaned, the leaves are mulched, and the produce and seeds and plants are where they need to be for winter. Seed catalogs start coming in December. Be thinking, be planning, be exploring.
- BONUS__ Start planting your own seeds under lights inside according to package directions. Some will be in early February…and progress from there. You may get “the bug” and need light systems to grow more of your own plants. This will increase the varieties you can plant.
- BONUS: Contact Woodbury County Extension and enroll in the Master Gardener Program, https://www.extension.iastate.edu/mastergardener/become-master-gardener. Contact Shawn Tabke at [email protected]

Our fruits and vegetables do not sit in cold storage as they are picked in the early morning hours of the day that they are delivered to you.
We usually start our delivery season towards the end of May or the beginning part of June depending on the weather. Our season is anywhere from eight to ten week long depending on the supply and mother nature. Included in the basket, as they come into season, black berries, apricots, white and yellow peaches, white and yellow nectarines, plums, pluots, apriums, tomatoes, corn, and sweet peppers. The VIP level includes herbs like basil and chives.
In the 2006 season (which ran from Mid-May until Mid-August) we had two levels of delivery membership. The basic level and the VIP level. The Basic Level delivery consisted of the fresh fruits and vegetables while our VIP Level delivery consists of the Basic Level delivery plus some bonus features. The VIP Level enjoyed the first run of fruit, herbs and some extra fruit and treats to try.
One of the benefits that is enjoyed by our subscription farming customers is that their fruit and vegetables are brought straight to them. Many of our customers have their delivery brought to their offices. We have several offices that have multiple people signed up to receive our delivery. There is no added time in your busy schedule where you have to go out and find the fresh produce. Also there are no added miles in your daily routine as it comes directly to you.
Subscription Farming is best described like a magazine subscription, where people are sign up for the entire season to reap the greatest benefit from their subscription. As with magazine subscriptions some weeks the baskets will be fuller than others. The deliveries do equal themselves out. As the fruit goes in and out of season new varieties are introduced and when you miss a week you miss some produce. In the past we have found that if you feel that you cannot use a whole weeks worth of produce it is best to find someone to share it with. This way you can each benefit by having a fresh supply each week as well as having the opportunity to experience it all.
Stay tuned to our website to get the latest details on our prices as we will be posting them before the beginning of the season! If you are interested in getting more information feel free to contact us. | agronomy |

When undertaking a water-saving landscape renovation, strive to continuously feed as much organic matter as possible to the landscape soil to keep it healthy. Start with compost and mulch to jump-start the process. Eventually, your plants will feed themselves with their own leaf litter.
Organic matter feeds microbes living in the soil that make soil fluffy. It’s similar to bread rising because of yeast.
Compost and Mulch: What’s the Difference?
Compost is a soil amendment. It looks like soil and it’s hard to tell what it once was. That is because it is food scraps, landscape debris and/or manure from livestock, or biosolids (human manure) and other organic matter that already has been partially consumed and mostly decomposed by micro-organisms. Good compost brings oxygen, water, and life in one package.
Compost can be store-bought or made at home. The compost-making process, or composting, involves creating optimal conditions for the microbes to do their transformative work. When compost looks like soil, it can be worked directly into the soil. The more coarse or visible the bits of the compost are, the more likely it is to be used as mulch on top of the soil rather than as an incorporated amendment.
Compost works in several ways. First, the compost itself contains particles improving soil structure. Next, as compost decomposes in soil it encourages the formation of soil macroaggregates. The resulting macroaggregates are composed of existing soil particles and decomposed organic matter, which combine to create a more stable and better functioning soil structure.
Mulch is a soil topping. Mulch may be organic or inorganic material covering soil. It’s made of larger particles and looks like recycled debris. Mulch can be made from organic matter such as grass clippings, leaf litter, and shredded wood trimmings, or inorganic materials such as gravel or decomposed granite.
The microbes in healthy, biologically diverse mulch bind the organic matter together, forming a thick blanket. This cover protects soil and plant roots from temperature change, keeps moisture in by slowing evaporation from the surface of the soil, and keeps weeds from sprouting by reducing sunlight penetration to the soil surface.
Mulch always stays on top of the soil. Unlike compost, it is never worked in. Recycled organic debris is the most effective type of mulch because it builds soil structure over time and provides a durable, protective surface barrier. The smaller the debris and the more mixed leaves with wood chips, the faster it decomposes. When building soil, small and mixed is best.
Composted material, especially coarse composts, also can be used as mulch. Artificial and inorganic mulches (decomposed granite, gravel, rubber chips, and other rubble) are primarily decorative since they do not contribute to soil life or plant health. They may be used in limited applications such as pathways.

I finally got around to planted, growing and scoring the second generation of seeds selected for higher trichome numbers.
Here are some of the seed pods that I collected and kept stored over the winter in a paper envelope.
I was able to conscript some student labor–a future biology teacher–to help planting the second generation.
This generation seemed to grow more slowly than the first. Today is the 14th day of growing and usually by now most of the plants are flowering. Hmmmm, I wander if the plants are putting so much energy into producing hairs that they have to slow down other processes? They certainly looked like hairier plants but honestly I forgot how hairy the first generation was.
Here’s what the plants looked like today. They not only seem to be a bit behind but they also seem to have quite a bit more plants that haven’t quite developed right. Of course, this population comes from a pretty small parent population so we may already be seeing sign of inbreeding depression—hmmm, sounds like an experiment.
And now for the results (just in graph form) for now. I may follow-up with more analysis later. The error bars on the bar graph represent 2 standard errors and thus serve to approximate 95% confidence intervals. Note that both distributions approximate a normal distribution so we would be safe to use parametric descriptive and inferential statistics.
I’m not putting forth any conclusions right now but you are welcome to. | agronomy |
