Immediately after 25 d on the treatment, 34 of leaves had been shed, and a few leaves were absolutely dried up. Following 30 d from the light deficiency anxiety, 40 of your leaves were shed. Such morphological changes confirm that M. sinostellata is extremely sensitive to light deficiency. To investigate the potential alterations in carbon assimilation as caused by light deficiency therapy, many photosynthetic parameters were measured in the M. sinostellata leaves, like net photosynthetic net (Pn ), intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci ), stomatal conductance (Gs ), and transpiration price (Tr ). Beneath weak light, Pn initially improved by 20 immediately after ten d shade therapy, which had been decreased to 60 of that of the controls right after 30 d light deficiency therapy (Figure 1B). Ci (Figure 1C) also showed an initial Bafilomycin C1 Autophagy enhance before dropping at 25 d, when Gs (Figure 1D) and Tr (Figure 1E) regularly decreased. The light utilization efficiency (LUE) (Figure 1F) and water utilization efficiency (WUE) (Figure 1G) were also analyzed, which showed comparable trends in response to weak light, both of which peaked at ten d after which deceased.

What started five years ago from small beginnings has since grown into a three-day, agenda-packed event to connect family-owned farmers, artisanal food producers, buyers, policy makers, and the public with each other to promote the growth of local food systems. The Localicious party, naturally, showcased restaurants and producers who make use of local and sustainable food.
So on Friday evening of the expo I found myself in a cavernous room at the UIC Forum sampling one fantastic tasting dish after another:
Spit-roasted leg of lamb with horseradish crème fraîche and microgreens from Bistro Campagne.
House-made pork sausage with black lentils atop creamy mashed potatoes from Osteria Via Stato.
Chicken liver pâté with pickled winter vegetables and salt crackers from Lula Café/Nightwood.
Beef and black bean Brazilian chili from Province.
Mediterranean semolina-honey-butter cake from Pasticceria Natalina.
All good. And then I got to the Heritage Prairie Farm table displaying this colorful, wow-me bowl of wheat berry salad in an earthy-hued bowl (from IKEA!). Friend and farm chef Portia Belloc Lowndes prepared this salad with the farm’s wheat berry and enlivened it with baby arugula, Capriole goat cheese, craisins, microgreens, and a honey-citrus vinaigrette. “It’s a great, great grain when used whole,” she says. I took a forkful, then another, and another—and was ready to take the entire bowlful home. I love the combination of chewy wheat berries with sweet and savory flavors.
This sort of salad is easy to make on your own, especially if you plan ahead and break out the steps. Portia recommends soaking the wheat berries in water overnight and then cooking them for an hour and half. She buys her wheat berries from Ted’s Organic Grains in Kaneville, Illinois, but for most people who don’t live nearby, it will be easier to buy them at Green City Market in the summer or from stores that carry their own sources of grains. Depending on the pot you use, cooking time can vary, which for me, is about an hour. You can use what’s in season or mix in a variety of ingredients to your liking, such as dried or fresh fruit, nuts, crumbled feta, sliced scallions, grated orange or lemon. I particularly like the combination of dried chopped figs, pine nuts, goat cheese, and chopped parsley.
Below is get Portia’s honey-citrus vinaigrette recipe. I also included detailed cooking instructions from Lorna Sass’s excellent Whole Grains, Every Day, Every Way book.
Portia Belloc Lowndes’s Citrus-Orange Dressing
for Wheat Berries, Cous Cous, or Rice
Whisk the following ingredients together in a bowl or jar:
1/3 cup orange juice
1/3 cup lime juice
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
¾ cup olive oil
4 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
3 tablespoons honey
salt and pepper to taste
Lorna Sass’s Cooking Instructions for Wheat Berries
To make approximately 2½ cups of cooked grains:
Use 1 cup dry wheat berries and 2½ cups water in a 2-quart pot.
Add salt to taste toward the end of cooking.
Presoaking the grains is optional but recommended. If time permits, soak the grains in the 2½ cups of water overnight. It saves some cooking time, but more important, presoaking results in a softer bran layer, more even cooking, and plumper grains.
Alternatively, do a quick-soak: Bring the water to a rapid boil in a Dutch oven or heavy saucepan. Stir in the grains. Turn off the heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour.
Bring the water and grains to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer until tender.
Once a few of the grains have burst open or you detect the whitish starchy endosperm peeking through one end of some grains, start checking for doneness: Cut a few grains in half and see if they are one color throughout. If so, taste a few grains and see if they are juicy and the starchy center is soft. Cooking time is typically 30 to 40 minutes for soaked grains, about one hour for unsoaked. If the water is absorbed before the grains are done, add more as needed.
When the grains are tender, drain them thoroughly. To plump them slightly more and reduce surface moisture, return the grains to the hot empty pot and cover them. Let them steam in the residual heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
After the wheat berries are cooked, add them to a bowl and toss with an appropriate amount of dressing to lightly coat. Let sit for 15 minutes. Complete your salad by adding additional ingredients to your liking. | agronomy |

Greener Pastures is owned and run by Doug Harkin.
Doug was born in Australia and grew up in the state of Queensland. Educated in Brisbane he went on and completed a Diploma in Farm Management at Marcus Oldham College in Geelong in Victoria. He then spent 9 years farming in Queensland before moving to a Farm in western Victoria. It was here in a 40 inch rainfall environment that Doug began to understand grazing management and the importance of a healthy pasture sward and strong root mat. The soils were fragile and low in fertility, and poaching of the ground was a major problem.
Having successfully completed numerous training courses on sustainable grazing management he applied for a Nuffield Scholarship in 1999.
After traveling through Asia, Europe and America he gained a wealth of information on grazing management and market supply chains.
On returning he realised that the system he used for measuring and recording pasture performance was unique indeed. Doug returned to the UK and could see a huge opening in the market for turf consultancy and grazing management.
He started Greener Pastures in 2002 to meet the ever increasing demand for turf consultancy in small pony fields. Greener Pastures now has all the necessary equipment to spray any pony field or small acreage, be it agricultural or amenity, along with all the necessary qualifications for chemical handling.
Greener Pastures meet all the required standards as laid down by The Pesticides Act of 1986.
Greener pastures offer an advisory and application service for fertilizers.
Conditions vary widely within the area as do the levels of fertility in the soil. We recommend that soil testing is done yearly in the early spring to ascertain the nutrient levels of the soil. The results of the soil test will clearly show what is needed to optimize the performance of the field.
Horse manure harbors the larvae and eggs of parasitic worms. If it has to be spread on fields it should be applied in the autumn, allowed to wash in over the winter and grazed by cattle or sheep before turning horses out. It is not a substitute for fertilizer and will create more problems than it is worth.
We use compound fertilizers in most situations but also offer an organic option. Grass is the cheapest and best form of food for horses and even horses in heavy work benefit from a small amount of grass in their diet. It is equally important to maintain a clean pasture by regular weed spraying.
Grass requires the following nutrients in a balanced form along with a wide range of trace elements to perform to its potential.
The leaf maker: it is an essential nutrient but in regulated amounts. Clover root nodules produce nitrogen which is available for the grass to utilize. The pasture needs to be balanced with a good mix of both grasses and clover. Too much clover and there will be too much nitrogen produced for the grass leading to problems with laminitis and hot horses.
Animals bone are chiefly composed of calcium and phosphates and an imbalance in the ratio will effect bone formation in growing horses. It is equally fundamental for growing grass- as the root maker. Levels of phosphate in the soil is on of the most overlooked of all. It is vital to the health of your animals and for grass growth especially during the winter months where a strong root mat is most important.
Potash tends to be deficient in lighter easily leached soils. It is vital for clover growth which in turn will produce nitrogen at a balanced rate for grass growth.
Horses and ponies can have an effect on the landscape, and it is up to their owners and keepers to ensure that this effect is a positive one!
Horses are often given the reputation of being poor grazers. Their selective grazing habit is that of choosing only the sweeter grasses, and manuring in specific places where they then won’t graze. This overgrazing of certain areas and the bare areas left from poaching in the winter provide the ideal germination site for weeds. It’s important not to think of everything except grass as being a weed, you can read more about this in the pony fields section of the website. Other plants should really be classified as herbs, many of which are not only extremely palatable to horses and ponies, but also beneficial.
Weeds such as ragwort are obviously poisonous and must be removed, by hand pulling or spraying. Other invasive plants that are considered weeds are those plants which horses and ponies will not eat like docks, thistles and nettles.
Regular cutting or mowing of these weeds will not stop them from spreading. The most effective option is to spray in the spring and if the infestation is bad enough again in the Autumn. We can spray the field in two visits as the sprayed area will need to be left ungrazed for up to 3 weeks.
The spray equipment is small and light enough to get in and around the smallest and most odd shaped fields. It is also very light and leaves no wheel ruts even in the wet areas.
We aim to spray the entire field including all the hard to get at areas, including under the fences and water troughs. This ensures a complete kill with the aim of eliminating any seed set.
Topping & Rolling
Grassland cultivations, such as rolling, harrowing or topping must not be carried out if ground nesting birds are present, and should only be done when the soil conditions are right.
Harrowing is carried out to pull all the dead grass, or thatch, up from the base of the healthy grass so that air, water and nutrients can more efficiently get to the soil. This should be carried out in the early spring, before strong grass growth gets underway.
Rolling repairs any damage done to the fields by hooves over the winter.
Keeping the grass height to 5-8 centimeters (2-3 inches) during the growing season, will have a huge impact on the ground conditions, especially in winter, protecting the ground from the effect of horses and ponies' feet.
For an obligation-free quote on your rolling and topping please please contact us.
Soil testing focuses on optimizing soil biological activity, recycling of nutrients and grass and root mat development.
Analysis examines the overall health of the soil and it's chemical balance, providing an overview of soil trends, identifying any deficiencies before they become major problems. It is essential for turf and grass managers if they are to best utilize their resources.
Soil testing should be carried out when the first signs of poor grass and root mat are seen.
Standard Soil Analysis provides immediate information on nutrient levels, and should be carried out in late winter. It covers pH,P,K,Mg and soil texture, and is primarily concerned with ensuring that nutrient levels are adequate.
Comprehensive Soil Analysis can be undertaken at the beginning of the production season and determines clay fraction, organic matter, and availability levels of K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, plus three availability levels of P.
Trace Element Analysis can also be carried out where soil has a history of trace element deficiency, or where a deficiency in livestock is suspected.
It provides a detailed analysis of specified trace elements (B, Co, Cu, and Se) and includes recommendations about the use of soil or livestock treatments where major deficiencies or imbalances exist.
Fecal Egg Counts
Greener Pastures offers a service where we can take dung samples from your animal and send it to an independent laboratory for analysis.
You are then able to drench more efficiently at at intervals that most suit your animals.
Incorrect drench and over-drenching is leading to a reduction in the efficacy of the available drenches; this is called ‘drench resistance’.
It may take years of continuous use of the one drench before resistance develops.
Under-dosing will also promote the more rapid development of resistance hence the reason for the use of the correct dose.
All the horses should be fecal egg counted ever 12 weeks to asses their worm burden.
All let out fields should be picked or harrowed at regular intervals. We also recommend to drench all horses on an empty stomach and new horses are quarantine drenched on arrival.
This policy will help keep a relatively clean pasture that should have a lower worm egg burden. | agronomy |

European grain market prices climb as concern grow over harvests from the world's two biggest breadbaskets.
PARIS - European grain market prices climbed on Monday as concern grew over harvests from the world's two biggest breadbaskets, the United States and the Black Sea Basin.
"The very tight global corn market will have trouble finding the same sort of substitution as last year via wheat markets because exportable stocks by the eight biggest global grain exporters have fallen sharply," experts at the Agritel information provider said.
The US expected a record corn harvest this year owing to a big increase in cultivated surfaces but high temperatures and dry conditions in the past few weeks have stunted the crops.
Similar conditions have baked the grain baskets of Ukraine and southern Russia, meanwhile, with analysts expecting Russian exports of eight million tons this year, compared with a previous estimate of 11 million tons.
Russia expects to harvest about 85 million tons of grain in 2012, far less than in 2011, while Ukrainian government sources were quoted by traders as saying they expect overall grain output of 44.0-47.0 million tons, down from 57 million tons.
The US Food and Agriculture Organization forecast on July 5 that grain output worldwide would be 23 million tons lower this year at 2.396 billion tons.
Northeastern Brazil is suffering its worst drought for 30 years, while in France, an initial harvest has been hampered by steady rains that have farmers worried about the quality of their crops.
In midday European grain trading, maize contracts had gained up to nine euros ($11.0) for delivery in August to 259.50 euros a ton, their highest level since September 2007 when they hit an all-time high of 265 euros.
Since mid-June prices have gained an average of 50 euro cents a ton.
The most widely-traded contract, for delivery in November, changed hands for 266 euros, a record that surpassed one set in May 2011.
On the commodities market in Chicago, wheat and corn sales showed solid increases in electronic trading that preceeds the markets opening. | agronomy |

NOV 28, 2018 10:43 AM PST | WRITTEN BY Kathryn DeMuth Sullivan
New research published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences presents surprising findings concerning the origins of the smoke cloud that hung over Southeast Asia for several months in 2015. The smoke, which came from wildfires that spread throughout Indonesia in 2016 due to a severe El Nino-driven drought, stayed clouding the region throughout the summer and fall of 2015. Scientists have now determined that the smoke contained carbon from plants that were alive during the Middle Ages, as a result of the burning of ancient peat.
“Our research shows that almost all of the smoke emissions originated from the burning of Holocene-aged peat,” said first author Elizabeth Wiggins, a postdoctoral research fellow at NASA’s Langley Research Center. “Although this peat has functioned as a massive terrestrial carbon storage reservoir over the last several thousand years, it is now a significant source of carbon to the atmosphere.”
The researchers were able to determine the origin of the smoke through isotope dating of smoke particles’ carbon atoms. After determining that the average particle was as old as 800 years, the scientists cross-analyzed the data with models of the wind-driven movement of smoke plumes and were able to pinpoint that the smoke came from burning peat on Borneo and Sumatra of Indonesia.
“These are the first direct measurements showing the smoke originated from the combustion of peat layers that are hundreds to thousands of years old,” said study co-author James Randerson. “Farmers drain the peats because waterlogged soils are bad for growing oil palms and other crops, and they seek to burn off surface layers to get to the mineral soil below.”
Peatlands are some of the most effective carbon sinks, holding more carbon all of the living biomass of the Amazon rainforest. The release of this huge amount of carbon into the atmosphere has grim consequences for the world as a whole, not just the orangutans and Sumatran tigers that lost their habitat.
The authors want to drive home one specific point from their findings: “This was all human-driven,” Randerson said. “Such fires help a small part of the population, but the costs for people far away in other cities in the region are enormous.” In order to preserve peatlands and thus keep huge quantities of carbon out of the atmosphere, we must find another way to pursue agriculture. Burning is no longer an option. “We need to identify more sustainable agricultural solutions in which we preserve tropical forests and peatlands to maintain all of these benefits while at the same time enhancing food security,” co-author Claudia Czimczik said. | agronomy |

Raised garden beds are adopted out by local neighborhood residents and organizations. Each person or organization who adopts a bed takes care of and receives the bounty of their own harvest. In addition, the Garden is where community members learn methods of sustainable gardening, natural building, and urban renewal. The garden’s green space is maintained by our dedicated Garden Steward, Javier Rodriguez and volunteers from the local community. Volunteer work days are from Tuesdays through Saturday from 9am to 4pm. The Garden was developed under the direction of the Service Learning Institute of California State Monterey Bay through a job-training program where low-income residents and currently homeless individuals built the Chinatown Community Garden turning an abandoned lot into beauty, nutritious food, and employment.
Where the Garden is located, no supermarket exists for people to obtain nutritious food at a reasonable rate. Outside of the Garden, Chinatown is a “desert” when it comes to fresh produce. In addition, many people in the neighborhood lack the means to travel to a supermarket at the other end of town and money to purchase nutritious food.
One of our Renewal Project aims is to increase the consumption of fresh produce in Chinatown. We do this through the production of fresh, organic produce in our Garden. The fresh organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs produced in our Garden are given away throughout our Chinatown neighborhood. Most of our distribution of Garden produce is conducted by Dorothy’s Place, a local soup kitchen ( 30 Soledad Street) across the street from our Garden. Dorothy’s uses our Garden produce in the meals they prepare and free boxes of food they give away to people in need. At Dorothy’s Place an average of 150 people a day are served free breakfast and lunch. Produce from our Garden is also donated directly to individuals who visit our Garden.
Our Garden has been a place where people learn about the cycles of life and death and decay and growth. For many people, working in our Garden means getting in touch with their “roots.” As one Garden crew member stated, we are “going back tribal in a concrete jungle.” Community gardens provide a valuable space in an urban landscape. It is a place where people can connect more with themselves, nature, and their community. | agronomy |

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida agricultural leaders are calling for deeper exploration of farmers, ranchers, and forest land owners as suppliers of environmental protection as well as of food and fiber. The Florida Climate-Smart Agriculture Work Group has declared its ambitions to craft a plan for how the state’s 26 million acres of agricultural lands can adapt to changing conditions and produce more clean water and air and other societal benefits.
The Work Group brings together agricultural, forestry, business, academic, government, and conservation leaders to focus on how to keep Florida agriculture profitable while providing nutritious food, clean energy, and ecosystem services such as water filtration and carbon sequestration.

Be a Superhero! Grow your own Victory Garden.
You've probably heard the phrase; "You too, can be a Superhero!"
Well... Its true. You can!
Perhaps not the type you read in comic books, or in the image above, but with the increased price of food and the lack of information regarding labeling of the foods we buy from the grocery store; it makes sense to grow your own food naturally, from Non GMO, Heirloom Seeds.
The Hero aspect comes from the fact that; if you have a lawn, you can convert it to grow food and be able to provide healthy food for yourself, your family and share what you grow with your friends and neighbors.
They will Love you for it, and you will feel healthier too.
It also means you have more Independence, because when you grow your own food, you are taking action to become more self-sufficient.
I understand this wont work for everyone due to one's available time, location, or year round climate. But don't give up before you start. Even if you live in an area that is colder. You can still grow your own food year round, but you will have to build a greenhouse to accommodate the plants and provide your garden with shelter from the cold and snow.
The video shown here is a bit of a flashback from the 40's and was used by the U.S. Government to promote the planting of Victory Gardens.
Despite the videos age, the information it contains is still relevant and if you're wanting to grow your own Victory Garden, it offers some helpful tips. Some of these tips include when to plant seeds, how to plant the seeds, types of crops to grow and shows you how to fend off pests from eating your plants and spoiling your harvest.
The image below is from the same era as the video above; but, the information is still helpful and rotating your crops every year is the best way to grow healthy food without stripping the soil of its healthy minerals.
Another helpful tip that isn't in the video above, is to build a small compost area in the far corner of your garden. Composting your food scraps and spoiled food will allow you to fertilize your soil and give your gardens fruits and vegetables even more healthy nutrients.
If you're inspired to grow your own garden, Go for it!
Gather the information you need to start your own Victory Garden from the library, or from a good online source. Ask people in your community that garden for their help or advice, order heirloom seeds from a reputable source and give it a try! | agronomy |

A study published June 5 in the journal Ecology Letters found that not only do night-time pollinators such as moths likely visit just as many plants as bees, but they may be less resilient than bees due to their more complex life cycle and more specific plant requirements.
The study also found that despite these threats and pressures, moths play a critical role in supporting plant communities in urban settings, accounting for roughly a third of all pollination in trees, crops, and flowering plants. In more urbanized areas, the diversity of pollen that is carried by bees and moths decreases, and the urban pollinators have fewer flower resources available.
The team behind the study suggests that supporting the introduction of plant species that are beneficial to moths and bees will only be more important to the health of urban ecosystems.
“As moths and bees both rely on plants for survival, plant populations also rely on insects for pollination,” study co-author and pollinator ecologist at the University of Sheffield Emilie Ellis said in a statement. “Protecting urban green spaces and ensuring they are developed in such a way that moves beyond bee-only conservation but also supports a diverse array of wildlife, will ensure both bee and moth populations remain resilient and our towns and cities remain healthier, greener places.”
According to the study, bees and moths also visit very different plant communities. Moths were found to be carrying more pollen than previously believed, and tend to visit more types of trees and fruit crops, along with their usual pale fragrant flower species. Urbanized areas can sometimes have less diversity in plant species and an overabundance of non-native plant species. These can both lead to lower insect interactions for less attractive plant species, which harms both insect and plant populations.
The team used DNA sequencing to identify the pollen that sticks to night-flying moths as they visit flowers. This analysis revealed the wide range of plant species that are not likely pollinated by bees.
“It’s clear from this study that pollination is achieved by complex networks of insects and plants, and these networks may be delicate, and sensitive to urbanization,” co-author and University of Sheffield evolutionary and chemical ecologist Stuart Campbell said in a statement. “We can also learn which plant species might be the best sources of food for different insects, including nocturnal ones like adult moths, and use that information to better provide for all our pollinators”.
Better understanding how crucial moths are to pollinating plants has implications for urban planning, policy, and wildlife-friendly garden initiatives, especially since populations have dropped by about 33 percent in the United Kingdom over the past half century alone.
“When planning green spaces, consideration needs to be given to ensure planting is diverse and moth-friendly as well as bee-friendly, to ensure both our plants and insects remain resilient in the face of the climate crisis and further losses,” said Ellis.
Some advice for making your own garden more pollinator friendly include using plants that attract both specialist pollinators and generalist pollinators, planting a wide variety of plant species, and keeping those weeds growing. | agronomy |

An international day to celebrate Soil was recommended by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) in 2002. Under the leadership of the Kingdom of Thailand and within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership, FAO has supported the formal establishment of WSD as a global awareness raising platform. The FAO Conference unanimously endorsed World Soil Day in June 2013 and requested its official adoption at the 68th UN General Assembly. In December 2013, the UN General Assembly responded by designating 5 December 2014 as the first official World Soil Day.
The date of 5 December was chosen because it corresponds with the official birthday of the late H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej, King of Thailand, who was one of the main proponents of this initiative.

We've had a couple of days of beautiful warm early autumn sunshine recently and it's given me the opportunity to head out into the garden and harvest our lavender bushes. As we live in a dry, vertical, sheltered sun trap lavender is about the only thing that actually flourishes in our garden, which is just as well given that I've taken to making lavender parcels for pin money.
With Christmas fairs on the agenda it makes sense to dry my home grown lavender and use some of it as stuffing and it is actually a therapeutic way to spend a late summer afternoon. But I'm also planning on making some things with a more seasonal scent for Christmas. Any suggestions on how to create a yuletide alternative ? | agronomy |

Hopefully the actual fruit will grow larger than the Barbie-size it is now.
Also making their presence known, BLUE LAKE GREENS BEANS! We bought bush plants because we thought we wouldn't be able to build a large structure the trellis type need (this was pre-foot vs. inches debacle.) So we weren't sure how/if they would work, but working they clearly are!

They seem to have reached their predicted size, but are taking forever to ripen, must not be quite hot enough for the plant, despite the nursery labeling it a "San Francisco Fog" varietal. Which is weird because it is WAY WAY WAY hotter in Berkeley than SF, so not sure this so called 'fog' plant would survive at all in the climate for which it is named. Go figure. | agronomy |

This is the way I was taught. For me it has been simple and I have only lost very few grafted trees.
The first thing you need to do is collect scion wood from dormant trees you want to graft.
I collected all of my scion wood in early Feburary. I found it best to wrap the scion wood in a wet paper towel and place it in a open plastic bag and keep it in the drawer of your refrigerator. Make sure you label your scion wood!
This grafting demo will be done with Ashmead’s Kernel scion wood and Malus ‘Antanovka’ Rootstock. I try to use all standard root stock for my trees. I believe it will give you a better longer lived tree.
The supplies needed to graft are very basic.
1. Pocket Knife (Very Sharp)
3. Wax Bowl Ring
4. Florist Tape (Paper tape coated with wax)
6. Plastic Label (Section of mini blind)
7. Scion Wood
8. Root Stock
Select a good root stock and scion wood with a few dormant leaf buds.
Take a piece of your scion wood and try to match up the diameter to the root stock, this is not extremely important, but it makes the grafting a lot easier. Take the pruners and cut the root stock to where you want to graft on the scion wood.
Take the root stock and with your knife slice off the tip at an angle so you get a tapered point.
Do the same for the other side of the root stock.
You should have a long slender tapered point. Be sure to leave the cambium layer (green inner bark layer) intack on the sides of the tapered point.
Cut your scion wood, you should have 3 good buds.
Take you knife and cut down the center of the scion wood you will be grafting to the root stock.
Cut down the scion wood about one inch.
Insert the root stock into the scion wood, this joint should hold together on its own. You must have the cambium layers match up, this is the most important part of grafting. If the cambium layers do not come in contact with each other the graft will not take hold and grow. If you have scion wood or root stock that do not have the same diameter the graft will still work as long as you have one side of the cambium layers match up.
Start to wrap the florist tape around the root stock and continue to wrap around the graft. Make sure you apply pressure on the tape this will compress the grafting joint together and insure the cambium layers touch. Check alignment of the cambium layers as you wrap.
Wrap tightly and do it a few times.
I have found the best grafting wax is just a regular wax bowl ring.
Take a small amount of wax and place it over the florist tape.
Smooth the wax over the entire graft and florist tape and wax the tip of the scion wood.
This is what your completed graft should look like.
Be sure to label your newly grafted tree before moving on to another graft.
I soak all of our newly grafted trees in water over night and then plant them in a prepaired nursery bed.
A nursery bed is the best choice for now because you can keep and eye on them and water them as needed. They will stay in this nursery bed for 1 to 2 years. When your trees are old enough or large enough plant them out in your orchard or anywhere else. | agronomy |

We’re excited to release your favorite strawberry beers again this year, brewed with local organic strawberries from J.R. Organics.
First in our Strawberry Fest 2021 lineup is the return of Sunset Crush!
Sunset Crush will be released on draft at all taprooms on Thursday, May 27th. Come for a fresh pour, or take a fill home with you.
Cream Ale with Strawberry & Vanilla
A summer twist on our house cream ale, Sunset Crush is full of fruity, bright acidity thanks to 1500 pounds of local, organic strawberries from J.R. Organics. The addition of organic Tahitian vanilla bean creates a sweet and creamy backbone to showcase the strawberries—a true reflection of our local terroir. This refreshing ale got its name for a reason—it is the perfect beer to crush while basking in the beauty of a San Diego sunset.
We are proud to source our organic strawberries locally from J.R. Organics. Located just up the road in North County, J.R. Organics is named after Joe Rodriguez, Jr., a fourth generation farmer on the grounds who initially helped his father farm conventionally. After several illnesses caused by exposure to agricultural chemicals, Joe asked his father for a small piece of land to start farming organically. In 1986, after successfully growing crops organically for a few years, Joe obtained his California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) certification and J.R. Organics was formed. Since then, Joe has expanded his business and taken over the farm. All produce from J.R. Organics is 100% organic and grown in the purest way possible…including the 10,000 pounds of strawberries that are being added to our strawberry brews this season!

Descriptions: Herbaceous perennial that is native to the American Southwest. This plant grows at altitudes often as high as 8,000 feet. It resembles in leaf form and flower Poison Hemlock (Conium maculatum), so the first rule of using or growing Osha is to be sure it is Osha. Osha root stinks, Hemlock does not. It
is very difficult to germinate. In the alpine meadows where it grows, the stems are broken over by the wind and the seeded umbels are left to rest upside-down, first on the snow, then as the snow melts, on the soil surface. The seeds are cupped, and fill with water. They remain moist and in the sunlight and eventually they germinate, which is why Osha seedlings are frequently found in colonies very near the parent plant. The leaves of Osha are pinnately divided into one to four pairs, up to 8” long and depending on the species, resemble the leaves of carrots or ferns. Plants grow anywhere from 4” to 36” tall, the stems are hollow and stout, and sometimes have purple splotches that give them a bruised appearance. On the United Plant Savers list.
Cultivation: Challenging. Grows best at elevation, approximately 6,000 to 10,000 feet in the Rockies, but will grow at much lower elevation in the Pacific Northwest or in the Sierras. Sow the seeds in the fall, winter or very early spring, upside-down on the soil surface. Keep moist until germination. Space 1 foot apart. Drought tolerant. Osha should be gathered after the flowers have gone to seed but before the aerial parts die back, after which positive identification can be extremely difficult. Roots should be dug very conservatively from only the healthiest stands. Osha root is susceptible to mold after it is gathered. If not using them fresh, lay them in the sun to dry quickly. The dark brown skin of the roots will hasten drying and will protect the inner tissues from the damaging effects of sunlight. The dried roots will keep in good condition for a year or more if stored in a sealed glass jar.

Good pruning can make all the difference in the world to your crop of tomatoes at the end of summer. Make sure you’re not one of the people who neglect this side to tomato plant growing.
And of those who do make the effort to prune their tomato plants, those who do it the right way are few and far between. If you prune your plant the right way throughout its lifespan, your plant will be ten times healthier than any other plant, and the harvest of tomatoes at the end will be far juicier and more delicious.
Pruning Mistake Number One
The number one mistake people make when pruning their tomato plants is to do it too sparingly. When it comes to getting rid of the excess leaves and non-fruit bearing branches on your plants you don’t need to hold back!
The only important leaves on your plant are the few at the very top, which absorb the most CO2 and catch the most sunlight. Most of the rest can go. While you are leaving many leaves on your plant the plant is giving huge amounts of valuable energy and nutrients to these leaves, which do not help your actual tomatoes at all.
You can get rid of all but the batch at the top and you will see great results in your tomato crop. Also, it is actually dangerous for the plant to have so many leaves restricting the air flow around it. Tomato plants create a huge amount of humidity and need good ventilation to keep themselves dry. If a tomato plant gets moist and damp it becomes very vulnerable to rot and fungi, the two major tomato plant-killers. A plant with no leaves around the base is a very safe and healthy plant indeed.
When it comes to removing the non-fruit bearing branches, which in most plants are every second branch, break them off right at the base.
Mistake Number Two
This leads to the second mistake people often make when pruning tomatoes. You must remove the leaf-only bearing branches, but be careful how you do. If you snap one off at any point along it, the plant must give a huge amount of energy to try and heal it. The key is to break it off right at the base, against the stem.
And the key word here is ‘break’, not ‘cut’. If you cut off your branch with some snipers as most people do you will leave a flat, straight wound which is vulnerable to rot and fungi. It also takes a lot of energy to heal, and leaves a big scab. Instead, use your fingers and pinch the branch off right at the base, this will leave and uneven wound that is easy to heal. And it does not redirect much energy.
Pruning Mistake Number Three
Another common mistake people make is not taking pruning seriously enough and stopping near the end as the plant matures. This is a huge mistake. You should be persistent with your pruning right up until the harvest time. This makes all the difference in the world to the size and juiciness of your batch. I assure you, every bit of extra effort you make pruning will be paid off tenfold in the end. | agronomy |

The Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Fair Trade Organic Coffee is vibrant and intensely aromatic with fruity and subtle earthy flavours. This is a lively 100% arabica coffee for those who can appreciate a complex flavourful cup.
Ethiopia is perhaps best known as a poor country but it actually produces some of the most unique sought-after crops in the world. Agriculture makes up 41% of its' GDP with coffee making up the largest portion at 28% handily beating out any other country in Africa.
The elevation of Ethiopia qualifies the Yirgacheffe as Strictly High Grown (SHG) / Strictly Hard Bean (SHB). These higher elevations means that the coffees take longer to grow delivering more nutrients to the coffee bean and allowing it to develop more flavour.
The Organic Certification ensures the beans are grown without the use of chemicals or artificial fertilizers making it not only healthier but giving these beans more flavour. The Fair Trade Certification ensures the community of farmers are paid above-market-rate and are taught sustainable farming practices.

This year’s theme, “Water is life, water is food. Leave no one behind.” which recognizes that water, which makes up more than 50 percent of our bodies, is essential to life on Earth, produces our food and supports livelihoods.
The day is celebrated widely by many other organizations concerned with hunger and food security – and that includes Bread and Water for Africa® – which for more than 20 years has been helping smallholder farmers, as well as large agricultural programs operated by our partners such as the Rural Youth Development Organization – Sierra Leone (RYDO-SL) and Faith Healing Development Organization also in Sierra Leone, to increase their production capacity.
And at Bread and Water for Africa® we work hand in glove with our grassroots partners through our food self-sufficiency program operating in Sierra Leone, Malawi and Zambia which is helping to keep children and families fed, and in many cases generate income for those who are managing to grow a surplus that they sell at local markets.
In Sierra Leone, RYDO-SL program manager Joseph Kobba who oversees a farmers training program funded by Bread and Water for Africa® which in addition to providing participants – primarily women – with knowledge to produce bountiful harvests on their small tracts of land, also equips them with the necessary tools, seeds, supplies and materials to do so.
In Malawi, we have recently established a partnership with the Faithful Heart Foundation (FHF) which is training nearly three dozen mostly female farmers in the method “Farming God’s Way,” also known as “conservation agriculture” which promotes not disturbing the soil (no-tilling), crop rotation and the application of mulch cover as ways of mitigating climate change and environmental stress on depleted soils – while at the same time increasing productivity.
FHF chairperson Alex Steven Bango explained that he has selected local farmers “who are harvesting below their family quantity needs, which means they frequently have shortages of food” in order to improve their livelihood and eventually become self-reliant.
“This will change their mindset from dependency on handouts of food, and at the same time result in the restoration of their soil fertility and conservation of soil caused by the harm climate change is doing periodically in our area.”
And in Zambia, our longtime partner there, the Kabwata Orphanage and Transit Centre, has a small farm to grow fresh produce, as well as an aquaculture operation to provide tilapia fish for the children living there.
To help meet the growing children’s need for food to stay healthy, Kabwata founder and executive director Angela Miyanda has for years been growing crops to feed the children in her care, as well as to sell the surplus at local markets to help keep the orphanage fiscally stable.
Most recently, thanks to the supporters of Bread and Water for Africa®, we were able to provide grant funding to enable Angela to have a greenhouse constructed.
“Prices of essential foods have gone up,” says Angela. “From the time of the Covid-19 pandemic in Zambia the economy has not done well, leading to major problems for many families and charitable organizations.”
The crops grown include cabbage, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, cucumbers, pumpkins, and local vegetables and “while the vegetables will be growing, our chicken coop will provide eggs” and its tilapia fish farming operation (also funded by Bread and Water for Africa® a few years ago) provides for both consumption by the children and also serves as an income-generator.
In fact, Angela estimates that 60 percent of the food for the children is grown right on Kabwata’s compound.
And on this World Food Day 2023 we take pause to thank all of our generous and compassionate supporters who are helping to keep thousands of children, families and elders fed every day, year in and year out. | agronomy |

We will come up with a custom lawn treatment program to provide you with the best lawn you can have. We also offer mosquito control options!
A beautiful and healthy lawn depends on how good it is maintained. There are plenty of factors that affect lawn growth and these are water, sunlight, carbon dioxide, oxygen respiration, and of course – lawn fertilization.
When it comes to fertilizing lawns, many people tend to commit many mistakes due to lack of knowledge regarding proper soil treatment. Fertilizer is the main source of essential nutrients and minerals that the grass needs in order to grow healthy and beautiful. Though these substances can be found in the soil, water, and sunlight, the varying climate or weather conditions greatly affect the growth of the lawn. In places like Milwaukee where the grass is dormant for a good part of the year, lawn fertilization and treatment is a must. Its primary purpose is to supply the needed amount of nutrients that plants are in need of and keep away the weeds. Equipped with adequate training, skills, and experience on lawn care, Best Choice can be your best pick in maintaining a beautiful and healthy lawn! | agronomy |

The farm, located off Hughes Rd. near Elburn, has developed a reputation for using its greenhouse space to grow veggies year round.
Mighty Greens quickly outgrew its first greenhouse after just one year of business. The second greenhouse almost doubles the size of the first, standing at 30 by 78 feet long and 13 feet tall.
“People just love their greens,” Carlos said. “We are already considering a third greenhouse. Our business tells us if we need to grow, and it’s looking like we might need to do that … we’re thrilled about the opportunity.”
Mighty Greens is not your typical farm. It’s known for the microgreens and petite greens grown year-round in heated greenhouses.
A microgreen is a plant that’s harvested young – six days at Mighty Greens – after the first two leaves (or cotyledons) have come up. Petite greens, which are also popular with Mighty Greens’ clients, are larger in size. Their petite mix is the most popular seller.
Carlos explained choosing to grow microgreens was a smart business decision because “you save a lot of money on watering and space, which in turn helps you make more money.”
“What we’re doing is not just a business … We do it because we believe in the product we grow and want to help create that new lifestyle for people,” Carlos said. “We want to be the ones to be able to give people the option to eat locally grown greens year round.” | agronomy |

When you’re ready to order your autoflowering seeds online, the best place to start is at reputable seed banks. They sell a range of cannabis seeds suitable for both warm and cool climates and indoor and outdoor growing.
They offer easy grow cannabis seeds that are high-yielding, have high THC content, and have high potency. You can pay with credit cards, Bitcoin, and check. You can also use PayPal to make your payment. You can even receive your order using a tracked delivery service for an additional fee. Beginners and experienced growers will also find germination guides.
These autoflowering strains are ideal for reselling. You can find them at great prices and in the correct size. In addition, the company guarantees that their seeds will germinate in your environment. If you are a wholesaler, ordering autoflowering seeds can be a great way to maximize your profits. You can even collect your seedlings online from trusted companies with the help of a germination guide.
When Buying Autoflowering Seeds Online, It’s Very Important To Choose A Reputable
The quality of your seeds will determine how well they do in your environment. Many seed banks offer discreet shipping and a high success rate. Although the site has limited payment options, it has an impressive range of strains and is worth the price. You can choose between hybrid and autoflowering seeds for your home or garden. If you have a small space, automatic strains are an excellent choice.
Autoflowering seeds can be planted in early spring and produce a crop after about ten weeks. The autoflowering seed will combine the flowering and growing phases and grow colas and buds. While the autoflowering process is similar to the traditional ones, the weed-grown by these seeds is more prolific. The harvest from autoflowering seeds can be multiple, making them a more practical choice for your garden.
Among the autoflowering strains available, the Gold Leaf is the most popular and has the highest potency. Its high potency and yield make it a top choice for indoor and outdoor cultivation. There are many reasons to choose this strain. For example, it’s easier to keep the plants indoors than grow them outdoors. Moreover, autoflowering seeds can maintain summer-like temperatures year-round, which means that they’re more productive than non-autoflowers.
An Advantage Of Autoflowering Seeds Is That They Do Not Require Grow Tents
Another advantage of autoflowering seeds is that they don’t require growing tents or dark environments. Unlike traditional strains, autoflowering plants do not require growing tents. Light isn’t a trigger for their growth like conventional plants. Those who wish to have an indoor grow room will want to purchase a plant that requires a darker environment, but it isn’t necessary.
If you plan to grow your plants indoors, you may want to consider purchasing larger pots than you initially thought. The reason for this is that a smaller pot on a window ledge will provide less light for the plant’s root system, and the light will be weaker than it would be outdoors. A larger pot with more sunlight will offer the same nutrients and yield more buds. Whether you choose to grow your autoflowering seeds outdoors or indoors, the yield is worth it.
Indoor Plant Growing Requires Less Work Than Outdoor Plant Growing
The best autoflowering seeds are easy to care for and will provide you with high-quality buds. However, as with any other form of gardening, you will need to provide your plants with adequate supplies for their growth.

Today was the day I planned to plant my garden. With temps in the 80's, I decided it was time. I went and bought tomato plants, brussel sprouts, peppers, and a variety of seeds. Cucumbers, green beans, peas, carrots, corn, spinach, and radishes. Also my herbs I have planted in previous years have all come back. What a great start to my garden. I hope all grows this year. Last year, I did not have a great year for my garden. This year I decided to test my soil and made the proper amendments. Now I hope I have a fertile space for the garden.
Now I need to run and plant it quick, because it may rain later tonight. Good luck to all my gardening readers. If you have a garden tip you want to share, leave it in the comments. Links are always welcome in the comments section. Have a great gardening week!!

Cooked rice is composed of 68% water, 28% carbohydrates, 3% protein, and negligible fat.
Half of the world is engaged in the cultivation of rice yet Tamil Nadu rice varieties have more nutritional as well as medicinal values. We had 5000 varieties but now we were able to save nearly 200 varieties in Tamil Nadu. These 200 varieties should not be endangered.

The average resident produces well over .75 tons of trash each year; this totals roughly 200 million tons of municipal solid waste annually. Well over half of solid waste is organic - suitable for composting - and ten percent is leaves and lawn clippings from our gardens. During the autumn season, bags of leaves are needlessly making their way to local landfills and incinerators.
As nature^s colorful gifts fall to the ground, consider turning leaves into a long-term investment for your property - and the health of the environment. Leaves can be turned to mulch, a valuable asset for the home landscape and gardens. Mulch helps control weeds, enables soil to hold onto valuable nutrients, permits plant roots to penetrate deeper and conserves moisture in soil by thwarting the effects of rain and snow. Using mulch also protects soil from erosion and runoff caused by heavy rain.
In the winter, the combined effects of freezing, thawing and refreezing can disturb the soil in a garden. This same process can damage plants and shrubs. A layer of mulch over the soil acts as an insulator and reduces the danger to plants from the freeze-thaw cycle. While decomposing, mulch releases beneficial plant nutrients and improves the soil^s composition. Leaves - turned to mulch - can accomplish all this at no financial cost to homeowners.
Using leaves for mulch works best when they are ground up or permitted to partially rot. Decayed leaves are called leaf mold. The chemical makeup of leaf mold is the closest thing in nature to pure humus. Leaves, unless chopped up, tend to decompose quite slowly. If collected annually, however, a huge pile of leaves becomes a rich and continuing source of mulch for distribution on gardens, shrubs and trees, even for top-dressing lawns.
Simply dig to the bottom of the leaf pile where decomposition has done its job. Oak or beech leaves, if used exclusively, will make a slightly acidic mulch, good for broad leaf evergreens and blueberries. If you choose not to use leaves for mulch this fall, consider adding them to the compost heap. Mixed with other ingredients, leaves will decompose more quickly and build your inventory of compost.
Each year tree roots gather elements from the soil and send them to tree leaves for ^temporary^ storage. This fall, return nature^s nutrients back to the soil by harvesting leaves and making much ado about mulch.

Settingup edible oil expellers in parts of Africa, South America, Eastern Europe and some countries of Asia has become a booming business. Edible oil is a very important trade and market commodity which can be sold in various variants. People in the developed countries have switched to the use of refined edible oil, whereas in the developing country they have no option but to use the unrefined edible oil.

This achievement is not solely the result of the work by the company called Ecolife but also of the hard work of the farmers, spending their time in sweated labor day after day to make the best possible grass straws by the highest standards of production. In this article, we are going to look at one of the farmer’s family working on the Lepironia articulata grass farm to understand how the day of work of the Vietnamese farmer looks like.
What are the grass straws?
Grass drinking straws are made from the specially selected stems of grass. But not any sort of grass will be appropriate for making straws, and these Vietnamese grass straws produced by Lepironia.com are made only from the local grass called Lepironia articulata.
Lepironia articulata is a sort of grass that grows only in Southeast Asia and has a perfectly circular structure inside. It is natural and easy to plant, which is why this grass is used to make environmentally-friendly drinking straws.
Starting the new day
Bay’s family starts each new day rather early when the sun hasn’t even appeared yet. The first thing in the morning is personal hygiene and then the family is having breakfast with some rice or instant noodles. Then the farmer drinks his tea and smokes while he is waiting for his wife to prepare the food for their lunch. He then checks again the package with tools, which include a knife, a sickle, some food for lunch, water, mobile phone, medical oil, and also the special liquor both for the farmer and his friend.
With that, the preparations are over and when everything is ready, he and his wife are going together on a beautiful road during the sunrise, with pure air around them, and the bird’s songs. The farmers often have a beautiful day in nature, which gives them enough power for the entire working day.
Getting to the farm
It usually takes about thirty minutes to go from the farmer’s house to their Lepironia articulata grass farm. On their way, they often meet the neighbor farmer, say the usual morning hello while setting the appointment for their lunch together with the meals from both families. Typically the lunch consists of natural food, rice, some wine, and sometimes something to eat later while they are working. This is the special kind of generosity people from the South enjoy in their life.
After the morning greetings and setting of the lunch appointment, they start their main job on the farm. The men are going to collect the Lepironia articulata grass, and the women will select the good stems and pack them for the supplier. Based on the number of orders and the required quantity, in one day the farmer can collect up to 50 packages. The package is the unit of measure on the farm, and it is equal to the length of the farmer’s arm. Besides their main job, the farmers have to care for the farm and deal with such things as weeding the ground, fertilizing it, and balancing the water supply to make a better environment for the growth of Lepironia articulata grass.
Selecting the best stems and having a lunch
Only the best Lepironia articulata stems, which measure to the highest standards for the grass straws are going to be collected. First of all the farmer is going to use the sickle to cut the strong stems of Lepironia articulata, and after about 15 minutes of work, he will take them to his wife, who will select only the best examples of Lepironia articulata grass. This work continues to go on until the sun is in the middle of the sky, and only then they can stop for lunch and take some rest after the afternoon working.
This is going to be a simple lunch with some stewed fish and spinach that was prepared before the working day. The typical lunch of a Vietnamese family living in Mekong Delta is having sour soup, some vegetables and rice. As the afternoon is quite long, they usually also have two snacks while working. While their wives prepare the lunch, the men are going to grill some snacks for lunch. A few minutes later, everything is ready, and they have a nice lunch and share their life stories. Their faces are a little bit muddy after work, but they have freedom, although some anxiety as well. After their lunch is finished, they just sit around and drink tea, and the men also smoke a bit more to relax and prepare for the afternoon.
The working day is over
Today was a good day of work, and they have gathered 40 packages of high-standard grass stems. Then they are checking their tools and looking around their farm of Lepironia articulata grass while waiting for the supplier’s arrival. With the current price of grass stems of 35 thousand VND per package, today’s income of Bay’s families is around 1,4 million VND. It is not that high but enough for them to get their usual daily and monthly fees. The only small dream they have is that Lepironia articulata would grow abundantly, there were no pests and grass straws had a good price on the market for them to be comfortable with their jobs.
They are going back home with the sunset, it is nice and peaceful around, but they do not forget their worries and anxiety. Besides developing and standardizing the production process, Lepironia.com is going to commit to buying enough of the Lepironia articulata grass stems from the farmer like Bay’s families in order to help them focus their jobs. Lepironia.com has a high standard of materials and enough big orders from all over the world. | agronomy |

This means I can afford to experiment with planting methods without it costing me an arm and a leg.
When we are mini-farming, we are in many respects simply adapting natural processes for our convenience. It therefore stands to reason that we can take a few cues from nature to save a bit of labor or time our planting perfectly.
Nature is pretty savvy. Plants and seeds in the wild just seem to know what to do and when to do it. Have you ever seen a bunch of tender weeds killed by a late frost? No? Me either. It just doesn’t happen because nature knows exactly when to sprout those weed seeds for the longest growing season without danger of a sudden frost.
In the past, I have correlated the sprouting or blooming of certain plants in my area with when I should plant certain things. For example, broccoli goes in the ground just a week after my apple trees bloom. But over the past couple of years I have noticed some other interesting things.
One thing I’ve noticed is that if I leave a tomato behind to rot on a bed, the next year those seeds will sprout of their own accord. This isn’t exactly a newsflash but the implications are tremendous because I have tried this for a couple of years and even though those tomatoes emerge well before I would usually plant, they are never frost-killed. This means nature does for my tomatoes exactly what it does for weeds.
Now, because I do bed rotation I wouldn’t leave those young plants in the same bed where their parents grew the year before — instead, I would dig them up and put them in the new location. And it works.
Think about this for just a moment. Instead of gathering up a dozen slightly over-ripe tomatoes of the variety I want to plant next year and going through the whole wet method of seed saving, I smash those tomatoes in the bed where I want to grow those tomatoes next year. The next spring, the seedlings emerge and I just weed out all but the strongest at proper spacing. I saved no seed and a grew no seedlings. Instead, I just let nature do the work for me and all I had to do was a bit of thinning for five minutes. As a bonus, there is no transplant shock or any other difficulty. I just prepare my bed in the fall and smash the tomatoes where I want them in that bed.
Obviously, this won’t work if you want to switch varieties. But will it work in other ways?
Yes it will. I first noticed that dill and mustard re-seed easily. These plants produce copious quantities of seeds, as do carrots and many others. Domestic mustard and carrots are descended from wild mustards and wild carrots. Obviously, nobody goes out in nature and carefully replants those seeds. All that happens is the seeds are spread around the ground by wind and then buried by snow and rain while temperatures are too low for them to sprout, but come spring at just the perfect time, they sprout.
Obviously, the germination percentage is much lower than when planted perfectly, but plants make up for this through sheer quantity of seeds.
As I mentioned, I save a lot of seeds — many times what I will actually need. Sometimes I use them for experiments.
In this case, after adding compost and other amendments to my squash bed, I carefully spread about 800 carrot seeds over a 4’x16′ space. This is exactly what nature would do. Some of those seeds will rot. Some will be eaten. The germination percentage will be absolutely abysmal. But many of them WILL make it through the winter and will sprout at the exact perfect time in spring. I may have to thin a little.
I am curious to see how this works. It worked well for tomatoes and we’ll soon know how well it works for carrots!

The origin of a deadly wheat pathogen which threatens a vital global food source has been identified by an international team of academic researchers, including two professors from the University of the Free State in South Africa.
First identified in Africa two decades ago, the strain of the stem rust fungus, ‘Ug99,’ was said to threaten the global wheat supply due to its ability to attack most varieties planted across the world. Rust diseases cause substantial crop losses each year. It was first detected in Uganda in 1998 and described in 1999 and has since given rise to an asexual lineage that has spread through Africa to the Middle East causing devastating damage to wheat crops.
Professor Zakkie Pretorius and Professor Botma Visser, researchers from the Department of Plant Sciences, University of the Free State in South Africa, joined forces with the University of Minnesota, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) and Australian National University, to uncover the basis of the stem rust fungus strain Ug99’s virulence by examining the pathogen’s genome.
They determined that the pathogen can be traced to a rarely observed phenomenon where two different rust strains fuse together and exchange intact nuclei. This is said to create a hybrid strain with a wider host range than its original parents.
“Ug99 is an imminent threat to global food security due to its wide virulence and potential ability to spread across continents and oceans to infect distant wheat crops,” said Professor Zakkie Pretorius of the University of the Free State.
“This information will be critical for deciphering the genetic basis and evolution of rust virulence on wheat and for monitoring the global movements of the pathogen,” added Dr Melania Figueroa, from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia.
Why is this discovery important?
“The more you know your enemy, the more equipped you are to fight against it,” said Dr Figueroa. “Knowing how these pathogens came about means we can better predict how they are likely to change in the future. This discovery also means that we can better identify the resistance genes, which can be bred into wheat varieties to give crops long-lasting protection against rust.”
“As plant scientists, we are always looking for an advantage over stem rust in order to develop more durably resistant crops,” said Dr Feng Li from the University of Minnesota, and joint first author on the study. “The data obtained from this study will provide us with new insights on how Ug99 emerged to threaten wheat across the world.”
“At the UFS we are always delighted when our academics make an impact that improves life for people,” said Professor Francis Petersen, Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Free State. “This latest discovery has the potential to prevent a devastating impact on the world’s food supply. A problem first recognised in Africa 20 years ago has found part of the solution at an African University.” | agronomy |

The dairy farm itself is on roughly 300 acres, which is situated in a valley five minutes out of the Picton township.
We built a milk processing plant, which is 100 metres from the dairy. The factory was completed and commissioned in March 2004. Our dairy supplies the factory with milk, which is processed according to the NSW Food Authority standards, it is sold in one, two and three litre recyclable bottles. We purchase milk from five other local farms as well as an organic farm in Nowra and Hannam Vale. We also produce yoghurt and cream. Visit Our Products for further information about exactly what we produce.
Our milk comes straight from our cows to the plant and then out to our customers (48 hour window). Milk is a bit like fruit, it bruises easily and the quality can be lowered if it is not treated carefully. Our milk is extremely fresh and therefore the shelf life is longer, up to sixteen days on the label but it actually keeps longer than that. We are constantly monitoring the quality of the feed and health of the cows to ensure that the milk produced is the best you can buy. We believe all these factors will combine to create a product that will make “the difference you can taste”.
In July 2000 the Australian Federal government deregulated the Australian Dairy Industry. This has resulted in massive changes across the board. One of these outcomes has been a drop in the farmgate price to dairy farmers. Where we once 36/37c we were paid per litre, we are now be paid an average of 29c per litre. That takes into account seasonal prices. At this point in time we are actually being paid 27c per litre if you are on contract and 23c per litre if you aren’t. Combine this with one of the worse droughts that the eastern seaboard of Australia has ever experienced and you have a recipe for disaster. “One farmer who supplied CV got paid 20% more than he would of from the big companies in 2012. This allowed him to farm sustainably and improve his farm”.
The drought resulted in there being no on-farm pasture available for feed and most farmers having to buy it in. Wheat at one stage tripled in price and in fact was being shipped in from Western Australia and overseas. Most farming industries suffered similar sorts of impacts. However, in the case of eggs, lamb, beef and flour (to name a few) these costs were sometimes passed on to the consumer. In the case of milk this was not the case. In fact the price to farmers has been steadily dropping.
For many dairy farmers this has meant that it is time to sell up and move on. Usually their land is sold for housing blocks. When this happens the entire local community changes. Areas become more developed and less rural. Country life starts to slowly disappear.
We did not want this to happen to us or to Wollondilly. We had already sub-divided some of our precious farming land to pay for a generational family transfer. Enough! We felt it was time to take control.
For us this meant value adding to our raw milk product. Why sell our milk for next to nothing to a big processor when we could bottle it ourselves and start making farming a viable way of life again?
And not just us. If you support us and make Country Valley milk a success then we can start buying other local farmers’ milk to bottle and pay them a better price too. That way we can all ensure that Wollondilly keeps the rural way of life that you live here to enjoy. If our farms go, so does the lifestyle. | agronomy |

By: Jodie Shield, RD
Last week in Chicago, I had the honor of having dinner with Food Network star Alton Brown at Table 52. Myself, and about 15 fellow bloggers, enjoyed an unforgettable “southern” meal personally prepared by the chef/owner, Art Smith. The menu featured so many delicacies; here are a few of the highlights: his mother’s famous Boarding House Biscuits, Pickled Shrimp and Corn Puree, Lamb Loin, Three-Cheese Mac, Maple-Glazed Sweet Potatoes, Braised Collard Greens, Peanut Butter and Concord Grape Panna Cotta and a surprise treat – Fried Chicken! While all of this was amazing, the real story was the sponsor for the event – Welch’s. Yep, the grape juice people. I had no idea that the Welch’s Company is owned by farmers – 1,000 committed family-farmers who have been working land that’s been in their families for generations. Or, that the concord grapes used to make Welch’s white and purple grape juices are lovingly hand picked and pressed into juice within hours of being harvested. Apparently, concord grapes can only be grown in certain climates that are mostly cold and near large bodies of water. The harvest season is very short, only a few weeks during the months of September and October.
I also had the privilege of meeting and talking with Welch’s grower-owners Elizabeth Tytka and her husband, Peter (seated in the photo below). For over, 75 years Elizabeth’s family has been farming their Sheridan, New York vineyard growing concord grapes for Welch’s. She spoke with pride about how she personally drives the tractor to harvest the grapes – once with a broken pelvis! It was a delicious evening indeed and true to form, Alton gave us a science lesson on how to cook with Welch’s grape juice. My next few blogs are going to feature some fabulous recipes I found on the Welch’s website that are super easy to prepare. This week you have got to try Sautéed Swiss Chard with Garlic. Swiss Chard is all over farmers markets right now. Not sure how to prepare this mild, earthy and sweetest of the greens? Here’s a video to help you get started. I tried this recipe with my family and it got a two-thumbs up rating. Now if only Art Smith would share his mom’s biscuit recipe!

The farm produces some of the world’s highest quality coffee that you can get.
José Gallardo came from the Gallardo family that have been involved in coffee production since 1960. He meticulously takes care of everything that happens in Finca Nuguo.
This lot was harvested at 30th of March with his “Nuguo Perfecto” method. This picking only use fully ripen cherries with 100% red colour meaning there’s not even a single streak of green, yellow, & pale red on the cherry skin.
Then “Nuguo Perfecto” cherries are vacuum sealed 1 kg each & put in sealed tanks for 7 days maintaining the cherries temperature at 22-23°C. The cherries were then taken out on 1st May to dry thinly on bed with high airflow at 30°C & below 90% relative humidity for 2 weeks. Next, it was continued to dry at 24°C & 55-60% relative humidity with natural airflow for 11 days, making the total drying time 25 days.
When we cupped we found Lavender, Blackcurrant Compote, & Blueberries also silky body at hot. Finally, when it cools down, you can get complexity nuance like Jasmine & Black Autumn Grapes.

Yesterday, under a moody gray September sky, we finished bringing in all of our pie pumpkins and acorn squash. While a good year for pumpkins and butternut squash, our delicata squash suffered from some sort of rot and our kabocha and acorn squash are small due to the drought. I drove the huge pile of leftover squash plants to the compost pile and then we pulled up the tarps to expose the smooth brown soil underneath. Using the tractor we lightly roughed up the soil and spread a mixture of rye, peas and hairy vetch for a cover crop. Cover cropping is the practice of seeding various species of plants that act as a ground cover between the seasons or during the season. It is an important practice in organic farming. Different species of plants provide different nutrients to the soil. Hairy Vetch, peas and clover are all legumes that add nitrogen to the soil. Oats and Rye provide a large amount organic matter when turned back into the soil. Higher organic matter in the soil means more moisture and nutrients are retained. This time of year we are harvesting, then planting cover crops and tucking the farm in for a restful end of season. We still have some potatoes and butternut squash in the field, the tomato hoop houses are still growing strong and the greens are crisp and tender. After the soil has given us so much bounty this season it feels good to nourish the soil with cover crops.

Bananas are also grown in some Asian and Middle Eastern countries.
Bananas trees are started from young plants that bud from the underground stem or bulb of older plants. The trees bear mature fruit 13-15 months after planting, depending on climate, and each other requires an area of 100-400 ft2 (9.3 – 37m2), depending on soil and water conditions.
The trees develop flowering stalks with males and female flowers, and the female flower eventually becomes the fingers (single bananas) of the hand. Only one stem (bunch) of bananas is produced per tree.

It is a variety of rice that is different from the commonly consumed white and brown rice varieties.
In recent years, black rice has gained recognition as a nutritious alternative to white rice and a versatile ingredient in various culinary traditions. Its unique flavor, striking appearance, and health benefits have made it a favorite among food enthusiasts and those seeking to add more diversity to their diets.
Origins Of Black Rice
Historically, black rice was highly prized in ancient China, and it was even considered a luxury food reserved for the emperors and nobility. The name “forbidden rice” originated from the fact that it was exclusively eaten by the ruling class, and ordinary people were forbidden from consuming it.
Black rice, also known as venere rice, is an exotic rice variety originating from China. In the past, its consumption was limited to the nobility, and it was forbidden for the poor, earning it the name “forbidden rice.”
One of the distinctive features of black rice is its color, which is dark and rich. Additionally, it possesses a delightful aroma reminiscent of nuts. The dark hue of black rice is attributed to its high content of anthocyanins, which are antioxidants of the beta-carotenoid type found in fruits like blueberries. When cooked, black rice transforms into even darker tones, reinforcing its name.
Nutritional Value Of Black Rice
Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, offers a range of nutritional benefits that set it apart from other rice varieties. Here is an overview of the nutritional value of black rice:
1. Fiber: Black rice is a good source of dietary fiber. It contains both soluble and insoluble fiber, which aids in digestion, promotes bowel regularity and can contribute to a feeling of fullness.
2. Antioxidants: One of the most notable characteristics of black rice is its high antioxidant content. The dark color of black rice is due to the presence of anthocyanins, which are potent antioxidants. These antioxidants help protect the body against oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and may have potential health benefits, including reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
3. Protein: Black rice contains a moderate amount of protein compared to other rice varieties. While it is not as high in protein as certain legumes or animal-based sources, it can still contribute to your overall protein intake.
4. Vitamins and minerals: Black rice is a good source of several essential nutrients. It contains vitamins such as vitamin E and B vitamins, including thiamin, niacin, and vitamin B6. In terms of minerals, black rice provides minerals like iron, magnesium, and zinc.
5. Low in fat: Black rice is naturally low in fat, making it a suitable choice for individuals looking to limit their fat intake.
It’s important to note that the nutritional composition of black rice may vary slightly depending on the specific variety and how it is processed or cooked.
However, overall, black rice offers a nutrient-dense alternative to other rice varieties, thanks to its fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Incorporating black rice into a balanced diet can contribute to overall health and well-being.
One Cup Of Uncooked Rice Contains
A one-cup serving of uncooked black rice typically provides the following nutritional values:
- Calories: Approximately 160 calories.
- Fat: Around 5 grams of fat, which is about 2% of the recommended daily amount.
- Carbohydrates: Approximately 34 grams of carbohydrates, accounting for around 11% of the recommended daily amount.
- Fiber: About 2 grams of dietary fiber, contributing approximately 8% of the recommended daily amount.
- Sugar: Only 1 gram of sugar.
- Protein: Around 5 grams of protein.
These values may vary slightly depending on the specific type of black rice and its preparation. Nonetheless, black rice is generally considered a nutrient-rich food, offering a balance of macronutrients and a significant amount of dietary fiber.
Benefits Of Black Rice
Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, offers a range of benefits due to its unique nutritional profile. Let’s expand on the ten benefits of black rice:
1. High in antioxidants: Black rice contains a higher level of antioxidants compared to other rice varieties. Anthocyanins, the antioxidants responsible for their dark color, help protect the body from oxidative stress, which can lead to various chronic diseases.
2. Promotes heart health: The antioxidants and fiber in black rice contribute to cardiovascular health. They help reduce cholesterol levels, maintain healthy blood pressure, and prevent the oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol, which is crucial for preventing heart disease.
3. Supports digestive health: The fiber content in black rice aids in digestion by promoting regular bowel movements, preventing constipation, and supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. This can contribute to a healthy digestive system.
4. Blood sugar regulation: Black rice has a lower glycemic index compared to white rice, meaning it causes a slower and steadier rise in blood sugar levels. This property makes it an excellent choice for individuals managing diabetes or those seeking to control their blood sugar levels.
5. Weight management: The fiber content in black rice provides a feeling of fullness, which can help control appetite and reduce overall calorie intake. This can support weight management efforts.
6. Nutrient-dense: Black rice is packed with essential nutrients such as vitamins (including vitamin E and B vitamins) and minerals (like iron and magnesium). These nutrients are vital for maintaining overall health and well-being.
7. Supports healthy aging: The antioxidants found in black rice play a role in reducing the risk of age-related diseases. They help protect against cognitive decline, certain cancers, and cardiovascular conditions, contributing to healthy aging.
8. Anti-inflammatory properties: The antioxidants in black rice possess anti-inflammatory properties that help combat inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is associated with various diseases, including arthritis, obesity, and certain types of cancer.
9. Gluten-free alternative: Black rice is naturally gluten-free, making it a suitable choice for individuals with gluten sensitivities or those following a gluten-free diet. It can be enjoyed as a staple grain without triggering any gluten-related issues.
10. Culinary versatility: Black rice offers culinary versatility, adding a unique flavor, texture, and visual appeal to a wide range of dishes. It can be used in both sweet and savory recipes, such as salads, stir-fries, rice bowls, desserts, and more, making it an exciting ingredient to experiment with in the kitchen.
Incorporating black rice into your diet can provide these benefits while adding variety and nutritional value to your meals.
Side Effects of Black Rice
Black rice is generally safe to consume and does not have any significant side effects when consumed in moderation. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind:
1. Allergies: Some individuals may have allergies or sensitivities to certain grains, including black rice. If you have a known allergy or sensitivity to rice, it is best to avoid black rice or consult with a healthcare professional before consuming it.
2. Digestive issues: Black rice is high in fiber, which is generally beneficial for digestion. However, for some people who are not accustomed to a high-fiber diet, consuming large amounts of black rice or suddenly increasing fiber intake may lead to temporary digestive discomforts, such as bloating, gas, or changes in bowel movements. It is advisable to gradually increase fiber intake and drink plenty of water to help prevent any potential digestive issues.
3. Phytic acid content: Like other whole grains, black rice contains phytic acid, which is a naturally occurring compound that can interfere with the absorption of certain minerals, such as iron and zinc. However, the impact of phytic acid on mineral absorption can be mitigated by soaking, fermenting, or cooking the rice properly.
4. Caloric content: Black rice, like other rice varieties, is relatively calorie-dense. While it can be part of a healthy diet, consuming excessive amounts without considering overall calorie intake may contribute to weight gain.
It’s important to note that individual sensitivities and reactions can vary. If you have any specific concerns or medical conditions, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before incorporating black rice into your diet. They can provide personalized guidance based on your individual needs and health status.
How To Cook Black Rice?
Cooking black rice requires a slightly different approach compared to white or brown rice due to its unique characteristics. Here’s a basic method for cooking black rice:
1. Rinse the rice: Start by rinsing the black rice under cold water to remove any impurities or excess starch. Use a fine-mesh strainer or sieve for this step.
2. Soak the rice (optional): While not necessary, soaking black rice for 1-2 hours before cooking can help reduce the cooking time and improve its texture. If you choose to soak, drain the rice after soaking.
3. Ratio of rice to water: The general ratio for cooking black rice is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. This ratio can be adjusted slightly based on personal preference or the specific variety of black rice being used.
4. Cooking on the stovetop: In a saucepan, add the rinsed and drained black rice along with the appropriate amount of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes. Check the rice towards the end of the cooking time to ensure it is tender and cooked through.
5. Cooking in a rice cooker: Alternatively, you can cook black rice in a rice cooker by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Simply add the rinsed rice and the recommended amount of water to the rice cooker, close the lid, and select the appropriate setting for cooking.
6. Resting and fluffing: Once the black rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest, covered, for about 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the rice to steam and become fluffier. After resting, use a fork to gently fluff the rice to separate the grains.
Black rice can be enjoyed as a side dish, added to salads or stir-fries, or incorporated into various recipes according to your preference. Experiment with different seasonings, herbs, or sauces to enhance their flavor and complement your dishes. | agronomy |

I feed my worms organic fruit and vegetable scraps I get from nearby groceries.
Well, earlier this year I started getting a ton of black soldier fly larvae eating the extra worm food that I put down. For months I’ve been taking the larvae out and putting them in a bin for the birds. Which has been great for the birds and I have counted 18 different species of birds at the house. And that’s amazing because when I moved in 8 months ago there were only pigeons and house sparrows!
Anyway, yesterday I went to write an article about them for my worm website and I Googled them to find out more about them. Well, it turns out that the first page of Google has links to articles about PEOPLE eating black soldier flies.
I couldn’t resist and I clicked on a few of the links. Within an hour I was out in the garden collecting the larvae for dinner. 🙂
And let me tell you, I’m excited about the possibility of actually raising black soldier flies because they are a great source of fat and protein. Those are the two main nutrients my vegetable garden doesn’t give me. It would be amazing to get 80% or more of my food from the garden and eating black soldier flies might make that possible!
I took pictures of the process and you can follow along as I prepare them.
Here are a few black soldier fly larvae in the garden. They eat just about any plant or animal. In my garden they only get the discarded fruits and veggies from the local grocery stores, but there is a video of the larvae eating 2 trout on YouTube that is both fascinating and horrifying.
Even though this is the first time I’ve harvested black soldier flies to eat for myself, I’ve been collecting them for the birds for 8 months. The first thing I do is scoop up a bunch of fly larvae along with some dirt and sift them so the big chucks of worm food get filtered out.
The container below this tub has 1/8 hardware cloth, and most of the black soldier fly larvae can squeeze right through that if I give them 15 or 20 minutes. That makes it easy to separate the bugs from the dirt in the tub above them.
After I separated out the flies, I put them in a strainer and rinsed them. Since they live in my garden soil, they had a lot of dirt on them. I’ve learned that you can raise black soldier fly larvae in sawdust though. If I end up doing that, I won’t have to worry so much about rinsing them.
Once I rinsed them off, I dumped them in a white tub while I got things ready in the kitchen. I discovered that they poop a lot. So I left them in the tub longer than I needed to so they’d poop more, then I rinsed them again.
Now it was time to cook them.
In the kitchen I sauteed some yellow peppers first since I figured they’d need to cook a while.
Then I added the worms. It was interesting. They smelled absolutely delicious, kinda nutty. But when they got too hot or cooked too much, I’m not sure which, they started popping like popcorn! You can see one that exploded out of the pan in a later picture.
Next I added some tomatoes.
Here’s the finished meal after adding some pre-cooked noodles my roommate had in the fridge and a bit of Cajun spice mix.
Here’s the finished product in my bowl ready to eat.
Trying the first spoonful.
That is amazingly good! Every bit as delicious as it smelled while cooking.
Overall, I’d say this was a huge success and I really enjoyed eating black soldier flies. This was a great meal and I’m definitely going to try some other recipes with these little bugs.

Within the actual developing world, lots of makers town regarding in order to regular options the lamb poem usually are equivalent for you to all natural farming, though not accredited, and additionally which may never incorporate all the most recent controlled progress with all natural farming.
With many other situations, maqui berry farmers inside your developing earth get altered so that you can advanced organically produced techniques for economic reasons.32]
Biodynamic agriculturists, that established ones own deliver the results on Steiner's spiritually-oriented berkeley compost method, made use of that duration "organic" to be able to tell us that will some neighborhood really should end up being thought of as some sort of experiencing organism,20]:17–1928] around this awareness regarding a next quotation:
"An pure farm building, the right way engaging, might be possibly not a particular the fact that berkeley compost strategy specified strategies along with contents along with stays away from others; the item is without a doubt some sort of neighborhood as their composition is shaped for representation in a construct associated with the herbal system which features the condition, this flexibility and also the actual civilized reliance of some sort of organism"
— Wendell Fruits, "The Surprise for Very good Land"
The make use of regarding "organic" popularized by way of Howard and even Rodale, relating to the particular other sorts of palm, makes reference more directly in order to typically the utilize about natural matter resulting coming from plant compost not to mention creature manures so that you can raise a humus content and articles connected with earth, essay about pixar case with any get the job done with first ground each and every what individuals made just what exactly ended up being and then named "humus farming." Seeing that the particular ahead of time 1940s that not one but two camps contain maintained to make sure you merge.33]34]
"Organic farming is normally some sort of formation technique of which recieves any well being connected with soils, ecosystems and additionally people today.
It again berkeley compost method in environmentally friendly functions, biodiversity and process adaptable to help localized conditions, fairly compared to the actual work with about inputs along with unfavourable consequences.
Organically grown agriculture envelops lifestyle, creativity plus research in order to advantages your shared natural environment not to mention publicize sensible romantic relationships in addition to a wonderful high quality how happen to be photosynthesis together with cell based taking in oxygen similar lifetime to get virtually all involved."
— International Federation regarding Normal Agriculture Movements35]
Organic producing techniques include controlled skills from ecology and additionally some present day engineering with the help of traditional gardening strategies based upon on naturally transpiring scientific functions.
Normal producing ways will be studied for a arena associated with agroecology. Even though conventional farming uses man-made pesticides and additionally water-soluble artificially pure fertilizers, natural farmers usually are snug just by restrictions for you to working with natural pesticides along with fertilizers.
The illustration of an important healthy pesticide is usually pyrethrin, which will will be discovered by natural means inside this Chrysanthemum flower. That principal options of normal producing feature scalp rotator, efficient manures in addition to compost, biological bug management, in addition to technical cultivation. These procedures implement that all-natural habitat to help you enhance agricultural productivity: legumes are usually rooted to be able to resolve nitrogen into this land, all natural a similar possible predators will be invited, fruit are usually rotated that will mistake bugs and even coastal cottage decor soil, not to mention pure supplies such as potassium bicarbonate36] along with mulches are usually put to use to help manage sickness plus weeds.
Genetically modified seed-stock plus wildlife are actually omitted.
Hot Composting, Move By just Step
While organically grown is definitely repay or payback unique from conventional due to the fact from typically the utilize associated with carbon based upon fertilizers when compared to through remarkably soluble synthetic based mostly fertilizers in addition to neurological insects manipulate preferably instead with unnatural pesticides, gmo debate composition example farming and also large-scale conventional harvesting berkeley compost method not wholly mutually unique.
A lot of from this ways made for organic farming need really been took out through further classic farming. Pertaining to instance, Involved Bug Software is normally any all-round plan in which applications several organically grown procedures for insect influence when doable, however throughout conventional harvesting could quite possibly consist of man made pesticides merely simply because a new previous resort.37]
Organic producing motivates Scalp selection.
All the knowledge in agroecology features uncovered a health benefits involving polyculture (multiple plant life inside a exact same space), which inturn will be usually employed to work during healthy farming.38] Growing any wide range connected with plant vegetation encourages a good broader selection connected with helpful pestilence, dirty microbes, and even other issues the fact that include away to be able to general neighborhood overall health.
Bounty variety facilitates climates blossom and additionally helps to protect kinds because of looking extinct.39]
Organic farming is reliant to a great extent relating to typically the healthy description for berkeley compost tactic subject, making use of strategies prefer green manure plus composting, to change out nutrition taken by typically the soil by way of earlier bounty.
This approach physical practice, enticed by simply bacterium such mainly because mycorrhiza, permits typically the natural production regarding nutrition throughout this solid ground for the duration of the particular escalating winter, and offers happen to be known to be able to as feeding a terrain to help provide for the particular plant. All natural grinding employs some wide range in systems to enhance soil fertility, which include crop rotation, take care of free argumentative essay or dissertation on the subject of smoking, berkeley compost procedure tillage, in addition to job application from compost.
Dissertation points advice cutting down tillage, terrain is definitely never upside down along with uncovered for you to air; a lesser amount of as well as is actually displaced that will the actual air flow ensuing in alot more earth normal as well as. This approach includes a particular additional help from carbon sequestration, which will can easily decrease efficient home smells and guide stop temperature switch.
Plants need a good big multitude connected with nutritional requirements with distinct levels to maximize. Presenting a sufficient amount of nitrogen in addition to especially synchronization for that reason who house plants berkeley compost approach plenty of nitrogen within typically the when ever plants will need the application a good number of, is actually a fabulous concern just for pure farmers.40]Crop turn and also eco-friendly manure ("cover crops") assist to provide nitrogen through legumes (more accurately, this Fabaceae family), which often improve nitrogen because of typically the setting through symbiosis with rhizobialbacteria.
Intercropping, which unfortunately is actually in some cases chosen just for insect pest together with condition control, will also increase dirty nutritional vitamins, and yet any competing firms involving the particular legume along with the actual scalp can certainly often be challenging and even expansive spacing in between creep rows is without a doubt needed.
You will be here
Head residues can certainly be ploughed once again towards all the solid ground, and also varied plant life get away from distinctive levels associated with nitrogen, doubtless aiding synchronization.40] Organically produced farmers equally make use of dog manure, selected processed fertilizers many of these as seedling mealtime and additionally berkeley compost strategy nutrient powders such mainly because pebble phosphate and environmentally friendly mud, a fabulous normally presenting itself sort involving potash which usually features potassium.
Collectively these kinds of approaches enable to help you management erosion. On quite a few occasions pH may well want towards become amended. Natural pH amendments incorporate lime green and sulfur, however for the particular U.S. several chemical substances these like flat iron sulfate, metal sulfate, magnesium sulfate, in addition to soluble boron products and services will be left with natural and organic farming.41]:43
Mixed plants utilizing at the same time livestock and additionally seeds can get the job done when ley plants, where the actual terrain records virility by means of growing nitrogen-fixing forage grasses these types of simply because white clover and also alfalfa as well as expands profit fruit and cereals whenever virility might be identified.
Hot Compost – Composting during 16 Days
Plants devoid of animals ("stockless") may perhaps see the item a great deal more complex in order to retain solid ground fertility, and may perhaps count much more in external usb advices such seeing that imported manure as very well mainly because grain dried beans together with environment friendly manures, eventhough hemp dried beans will probably correct confined nitrogen berkeley compost way many tend to be refined.
Horticultural facilities that will grow fruit genomic dna choices compared to cdna library veggies within secure disorders commonly be dependent perhaps even extra concerning outward inputs.40]
Biological analysis within dirt and potting soil creatures has got successful useful that will natural and organic grinding.
Varieties for bacterium along with fungus split down toxins, sow make any difference and also animal spend towards profitable ground nourishing substances. Inside simply turn, that they deliver advantages of healthy brings along with far more beneficial solid ground for the purpose of forthcoming crops.42] Grounds by using a lot less as well as certainly no manure demonstrate tremendously smaller assure, attributed for you to lessen land microorganisms community.
Berkeley compost tactic manure changes neurological recreation, featuring any healthy, extra arable land system not to mention large yields.43]
Organic grass administration endorses filter suppression, rather as compared with marijuana treatment, as a result of developing scalp competitiveness together with phytotoxic problems regarding weeds.44] Organic maqui berry farmers combine national, neurological, mechanical, vigorous and even chemical maneuvers to make sure you handle weeds without having man-made herbicides.
Organic benchmarks need turn with twelve-monthly crops,45] significance which will some sort of one foliage are unable to possibly be grown around that equivalent locale without having some unique, intervening crop. Pure crop shifts commonly can include weed-suppressive deal with fruit and additionally plant life with unlike life process to be able to suppress weeds connected having some sort of individual crop.44] Exploration is actually continuous to help build up healthy tactics to promote typically the emergence of normal organisms that reduce the improvement or germination involving standard weeds.46]
Other societal procedures employed to enrich plant competitiveness as well as lessen bud force incorporate option for competitively priced crop varieties, high-density planting, tiny row spacing, and additionally missed growing in to martyr arrange review earth in order to strongly encourage accelerated foliage germination.44]
Mechanical together with real bodily weed control strategies utilized relating to natural facilities will turn out to be commonly grouped as:47]
- Tillage -- Making all the garden soil concerning vegetation to be able to merge plant residues plus potting soil amendments; do away with old dope improvement and also get ready a new seedbed just for planting; transforming dirty right after seeding for you to control weeds, such as cultivation of short period crops;
- Mowing together with decreasing -- Taking away top rated advancement for weeds;
- Flame weeding as well as winter weeding -- Utilizing high temperature so that you can ruin weeds; and
- Mulching - Keeping bud introduction having healthy items, plastic video clips, or possibly landscape designs fabric.48] Certain critics, citing succeed released throughout 1997 by just Jesse Pimentel of Cornell University,49] which discussed a great plague from terrain erosion across the world, need brought up nervous that tillage contribute to make sure you typically the erosion epidemic.50] This FAO in addition to alternative corporations include strongly suggested your 'no-till' solution to simultaneously standard not to mention organically grown berkeley compost strategy, and purpose released throughout unique in which harvest revolving skills implemented throughout all natural the various other dude publication review will be good no-till approaches.50]51] Some sort of research publicized within 2005 by Pimentel and even colleagues52] proven that 'Crop rotations as well as protect showing (green manure) regular connected with natural and organic farming eliminate dirt erosion, infestation difficulties, along with pesticide use.'
Some the natural way noted products are allowed regarding herbicidal utilize.
Those include particular supplements for acetic uric acid (concentrated vinegar), ingrown toenail gluten meal, and vital skin oils. Some sort of several picky bioherbicides structured for fungal pathogens need furthermore been recently developed. From it point in time, even so, organically grown herbicides as well as bioherbicides play any minimal place throughout that all natural grass handle toolbox.47]
Weeds might often be regulated from grazing.
Regarding example of this, geese have long been used correctly to help you grass your array in all natural seeds which include silk cotton, strawberries, smoking cigarettes, and even corn,53] refreshing the particular process of staying 100 % organic cotton replacement patch geese, standard for that southern U.S. before your 1950s. Similarly, several almond farmers bring in ducks plus pike to soaked paddy grounds for you to devour each of those weeds and insects.54]
Controlling various other organisms
See also: Natural unwanted pests deal with and Designed Unwanted pests Management
Organisms besides as a result of weeds of which lead to conditions about natural and organic farms comprise of arthropods (e.g., pests, mites), nematodes, fungus as well as unhealthy bacteria.
Healthy practices involve, nonetheless can be not necessarily confined to:
Examples connected with predatory valuable pestilence comprise of instant cafe enterprise strategy uk glitches, big-eyed pests, together with to help any cheaper severity ladybugs (which are apt so that you can hover berkeley compost strategy, all associated with which will try to eat some diverse array in bugs.
Lacewings can be even useful, yet are likely for you to travel out.
Want that will supply the application a good try? In this case can be all the recommendations to help you typically the Berkeley Method:
Praying mantis are likely towards transfer a great deal more carefully and even actually eat a reduced amount of intensely. Parasitoid wasps commonly tend to be able to be successful regarding your preferred animals, for instance almost all modest pesky insects are able to be significantly less productive in the garden for the reason that a wind it manually regulators your move. Predatory mites tend to be reliable to get limiting different mites.41]:66–90
Naturally cover notification for the purpose of ministers resume insecticides made possible just for make use of upon pure farms work with incorporate Bacillus thuringiensis (a bacterial toxin), pyrethrum (a chrysanthemum extract), spinosad (a bacterial metabolite), neem (a tree berkeley compost process in addition to rotenone (a legume underlying issues extract).
Fewer as compared to 10% from organically produced maqui berry farmers utilize a lot of these pesticides regularly; a particular online survey located that just 5.3% of veg proposition 19 on Carolina employ rotenone whereas 1.7% employ pyrethrum.56]:26 Most of these pesticides tend to be not continually more safe or simply green warm and friendly when compared to fake pesticides along with may result in harm.41]:92 Typically the essential criterion designed for natural and organic pesticides is actually which usually these are usually in a natural way extracted, plus a few obviously produced substances get been recently questionable.
1. Acquire that Best possible Account balance connected with Compost Materials
Dubious all-natural pesticides incorporate rotenone, copper mineral, may be sulfate, together with pyrethrums57]58]Rotenone together with pyrethrum are actually especially questionable as many succeed from attacking that afraid process, including nearly all typical insecticides.
Rotenone is definitely incredibly noxious to fish59] in addition to are able to generate discomforts like Parkinson's disease through mammals.60]61] Despite the fact that pyrethrum (natural pyrethrins) is actually a lot more effective versus insect pests lois weisberg booklet reviews chosen by using piperonyl butoxide (which retards degradation connected with your pyrethrins),62] normal criteria usually do never let utilize regarding this last option substance.63]64]65]
Naturally produced fungicides made possible just for use in organic harvesting comprise this bacteria Bacillus subtilis along with Bacillus pumilus; plus your actual fungus Trichoderma harzianum.
These kind of are actually mainly powerful with regard to ailments impacting root base. Compost teas consists of some selection involving helpful microbes, which will may perhaps harm or out-compete selected plant pathogens,66] but variability between supplements and even preparation approaches might lead for you to inconsistent results and also also hazardous growth involving dangerous microbes during compost teas.67]
Some logically resulting pesticides berkeley compost way definitely not allowed regarding take advantage of at cave den 32 farms.
A lot of these comprise smoking sulfate, arsenic, and also strychnine.68]
Synthetic pesticides homework calendars quality 1 for the purpose of work with with organically produced facilities can include insecticidal shower gel and additionally horticultural motor oils designed for insect management; and Bordeaux collaboration, copper hydroxide and even salt bicarbonate for the purpose of supervising fungi.68] Photographer sulfate and Bordeaux blend of (copper sulfate and also lime), endorsed designed for all natural employ in diverse jurisdictions,63]64]68] may end up being alot more ecologically bothersome as opposed to a lot of fabricated fungicides dissallowed within normal farming69]70] Related concerns make an application to be able to real estate agent hydroxide.
Duplicated practical application about photographer sulfate as well as copper hydroxide simply because a fungicide may perhaps ultimately outcome in photographer accumulation to poisonous tiers throughout soil,71] and also admonitions that will keep away from increased accumulations from copper for earth seem inside many different organically produced requirements along with someplace else.
Environmentally friendly conditions meant for a number of types connected with biota occur for general costs with apply involving many of these contents regarding a number of crops.72] On typically the American Association, in which substitution in copper-based fungicides on natural agriculture is without a doubt some plan priority,73] researching is usually looking for solutions with regard to organically produced production.74]
Raising livestock and poultry, with regard to meats, dairy and also ovum, is definitely an additional conventional gardening activity the fact that fits improving.
Normal plants strive so that you can provide you with creatures having healthy being ailments and give food to. Normal accreditation verifies that will livestock are usually increased as per to help you typically the USDA natural and organic ordinances through berkeley compost strategy lives.75] Those regulations comprise the prerequisite this most of canine feast has to possibly be competent pure.
Organic livestock could possibly possibly be, and also must be, taken care of using remedy whenever they will are frustrated, however drug treatments won't be able to be used that will boost growth, the feast has to turn out to be organic and natural, and also some people ought to be pastured.76]:19ff77]
Also, horse together with livestock were being after your berkeley compost approach farmville farm function of which supplied job, just for hauling fuzeon activity essay plowing, fertility, because of taking berkeley compost procedure manure, not to mention gasoline, on all the berkeley compost tactic about nutrition for the purpose of farmers and additionally different pets or animals.
Whereas now, small rising surgical treatments normally do not likely can include livestock, domesticated animals are some sort of desired section regarding the actual natural and organic producing formula, certainly with regard to real sustainability, any capacity involving some sort of farm towards functionality since a fabulous self-renewing appliance.
Main articles: Genetically tailored factories, Genetically modernized nutrition, and also Genetically customized meal controversies
A crucial characteristic involving organic and natural gardening is definitely that sexual rejection of genetically manufactured plant life and additionally pets.
Upon Nineteen August 1998, students in IFOAM's Twelfth Logical Convention produced a Mar delete Plata Report, the place extra than Six-hundred delegates out of across 70 places voted unanimously to help you don't include your employ of genetically improved creatures throughout food production and also agriculture.
Although opposition that will your work with for almost any transgenic technologies around healthy grinding is sturdy, farm research workers Luis Herrera-Estrella in addition to Ariel Alvarez-Morales go on to help promoter integration associated with transgenic engineering within natural and organic harvesting simply because this optimal implies to help you maintainable agriculture, primarily within your producing world.78] Organic and natural player Raoul Adamchak as well as geneticist Pamela Ronald write which usually numerous farm applications for biotechnology really are continual utilizing natural and organic concepts and also include appreciably advanced advantageous agriculture.79]
Although GMOs tend to be omitted via organic and natural grinding, generally there can be challenge which usually the actual pollen out of genetically altered fruit is actually progressively more penetrating organic and additionally heirloom seed starting stocks and shares, producing it all challenging, if perhaps never extremely hard, that will have those genomes from coming into all the all natural meal deliver.
Different policies between locations restraints the particular variety connected with GMOs so that you can several areas, simply because labeled throughout any posting about rules connected with all the put out for it is partially revised organisms.
Organic maqui berry farmers make use of a selection regarding standard neighborhood resources to help undertake grinding.
Thanks to make sure you the goals and objectives associated with durability throughout organic harvesting, organically grown maqui berry farmers look at to eliminate ones own reliance upon fossil energizes. Inside typically the acquiring environment about modest organically produced farms resources can be regularly restricted so that you can fretting hand software together with diesel-powered centric the water squeezes.

State governments, natural farming includes recently been demonstrated anti depressant medication turn out to be 2.7 so that you can 3.8 moments even more worthwhile meant for typically the player when compared to regular grinding any time customary cost premiums really are ingested straight into account.111] Across the world, natural grinding might be concerning Twenty-two as well as 30 % alot more cost-effective with regard to maqui berry farmers as opposed to standard methods, in respect to be able to the 2015 meta-analysis with reports conducted across a few continents.112]
The success of healthy farming might possibly be thanks so that you can a telephone number of components.

Around option, organically grown food items now like a value superior in excess of conventionally made certain foods, indicating of which natural and organic maqui berry farmers could generally find a lot more designed for your give in.

Pertaining to several suppliers, point gross sales located at farmers' promotes will be virtually all successful simply because your farmer gets your full markup, even so this unique can be at the same time this a lot of time period plus labor-intensive approach.114]
There have got also been signs of organic expense payments narrowing in newly released a long time, which will stabilises the actual fiscal bonus for farmers towards change to be able to as well as keep normal generation methods.115] Data as a result of Twenty-two ages regarding findings in all the Rodale Company seen this, primarily based relating to that latest makes not to mention manufacturing expenditures associated with pure harvesting within your Usa Expresses, any price tag payment involving exclusively 10% might be essential in order to gain parity with ordinary farming.115] Your split understand observed that about some international degree, expense costs for exclusively 5-7% % was wanted in order to split even with traditional methods.112] While not a selling price quality, profitability for the purpose of maqui berry farmers is certainly mixed.56]:11
For areas and additionally supermarkets normal food stuff is without a doubt prosperous because clearly, berkeley compost method might be typically available in very much more significant values compared with relationship working food.116]
In the particular almost all up to date assessments involving this electrical power effectiveness associated with pure opposed to conventional farming, consequences own really been bundled on the subject of which will variety is without a doubt a great deal more carbon dioxide efficient.
Organic farm units experience more commonly as compared with definitely not happen to be noticed for you to turn out to be alot more energy source reliable, having said that, this might be not really generally that case. Alot more as compared with just about anything, success have a tendency that will rely on creep type and even park size.117]
A detailed how that will come up with newspaper mache skull in energy levels productivity within grain creation, deliver produce, and also pet dog husbandry concluded of which natural farming possessed an important bigger deliver for each system from energy about a considerable greater number of the actual factories in addition to livestock systems.118] Regarding case in point, several tests -- simultaneously researching organically- rather than conventionally-farmed berkeley compost approach : assert contradicting good results, 1 just saying organically grown gardening will be more energy source productive, the actual various indicating conventionally might be even more efficient.117]

After joining the Pasir Gudang kitefestival, Volker went with all the other kitefliers to Alon Setar.
This kitefestival took place the first time since many years.
The kitefiled was situated a bit out of the city, close to rice paddies. A set of 132kV powerlines downwind of the kitefield proved to be magnetic to kites, although no final losses had to be claimed (thanks to Tenaga Nasional). Alon Setar kitefestival followed the good wind conditions fo Pasir Gudang: Most of the time there was enough wind to anchor the kites for several hours.
In the morning of the 26.2., we visited the house were Mahathir bin Mohamad , the 4th prime minister of Malaysia grew up. The place included exibitions of the early life of Mr. Mahatir. Additionally, we visited the Muzium Padi , which is the first museaum in Malysia designated to rice farming.
I look forward to join this kitefestival next year again.

Phytoremediation is a sustainable way to mitigate societal and environmental harm from soil pollution with metal trace elements. Yet, limited knowledge of plant adaptation to excess metals in the soil limits the efficiency and broad application of this technique. In this interdisciplinary project the genetic basis and physiological mechanisms of zinc accumulation in a model species, Arabidopsis halleri, will be studied. Genes involved in metal homeostasis will be identified and their impact on metal uptake and allocation in plants from polluted and natural habitats will be assessed. In future, the identified genes can be i) engineered into high-biomass crops to enhance metal accumulation and support phytoremediation or ii) suppressed to increase agricultural productivity and food quality.
More information can be found on the project website.

The plan coupled an ideal combination of rootstock, varietal clone, optimum spacing, and optimum training method.
The vines are trained in the ancient gobelet form to optimize sun exposure and grape quality. The vineyard has been largely replanted in a dense spacing of 2,700 to 4,050 vines per acre. This is 5 to 8 times the density of vines as before. The intent of this dense planting is to reduce the amount of crop each vine must bear and ripen. Fewer grape clusters means less stress on the grapevine; and to a vine living on these difficult hillside soils, it means more strength to ripen the fruit naturally. | agronomy |

This is no ordinary plant. When its leaves are brushed, they actually move and react in response with a cascading collapsing effect.
It was first discovered by Robert Hooke. He originally thought that the Mimosa Pudica shared a nervous system with animals and could detect feelings of touch in the same way. After further investigation, it was learned that the plant actually moves through water stored in its cells. The response is controlled completely through chemical signals up through the stem when disturbed.
The plant has this rapid chain reaction to protect itself from foraging animals, as a sort of evasion maneuver or to startle from its unusual movement.
Grab a pack of seeds from Seed Needs to experience this wonderful plant for yourself. They’re very easy to grow and take care of as annuals. They can grow up to two feet tall and replenish their leaves every winter’s frost. Non-GMO seeds are strong and carry the best traits of color and health.

The First and integral part of getting your marijuana plants off to a great start is germinating your seeds properly. There are many different methods to seed germination.
The simplest methods for growing marijuana are as follows:
Get a paper towel and Soak it in warm distilled water(boil the water is a good method then cool for distilled water) , ring the excess water out of the paper towel, moisten the seeds by soaking in the same distilled water for half an hour. Lay the seeds spaced out on one half of the paper towel and Fold the other half over the seeds. Gently place the Paper towel with seeds on to a plate and Place a bowl upside down over the setup to maintain moisture and reduce light.
Another way is to use grow plugs,you can easily get these from your local Grower supplies, they are a bit bigger than 1 inch 2.5cm squared. Push the seed in, moisten and it usually works, keep it moist-not flooded!, It is very important to not let the plugs dry out completely..you will get a fail. Wait till roots start to appear through the bottom this is when you plant them. You can use lighting in this process (Fluros) important to keep the lights distanced…at least 1 and a half meters, watch your moisture don’t let them dry out. In approximately 2 days you should see a crack. Your germination stage is then complete. A word of advice use tweezers when handling the germinated seeds..you don’t want to touch them at this stage
Growing Marijuana in the right stuff
Marijuana is often called a weed and like a weed it will grow in almost anything you can think of, As long as the roots have room to grow, are kept moist and are supplied with oxygen and nutrients the plant will thrive. Rockwool is an excellent medium for hydroponic use. It does however have some drawbacks. Just like the insulation variety, when dry it`s dangerous to handle. It also has a high p.h. value and is hard to reuse or recycle. marijuana eats up available nutrients very quickly so mixing in nutrients with the growing medium can be a bit of an art, It`s easier to leave the mixture plain and give plants nutrients in their water as and when they require them.
Soil or compost of one sort or another is a good medium, it is natural, easy to use and available everywhere. Try using a sterilized loose, non- peat based potting compost mixed 50/50 with a soil conditioner like perlite. Washed sand can also be used, but again use it in a mixture, add it to your favorite mix to add some depth and weight to lighter products. Perlite is a soil conditioner that can be used independently but we recommend a mix. Pea gravel or clay pellets are a good reusable medium that can be used in pots. These little marble sized balls absorb loads and loads of water and release it slowly. Again excellent for hydroponics and safer than rock wool.
Growing Marijuana? Light is your Friend!
Nearly all varieties of marijuana require 12 hours of darkness per day to induce their flowering cycles. sativa varieties sometimes need more. indica varieties can sometimes take less. ruderalis varieties can flower in many conditions Don’t be fooled by your pure Female Plants they can turn male if the plant are stressed too much through negligence or if chemicals are applied to the plant to induce male flowering. When you establish you have a healthy female plant that you would like to keep, you can place it in constant light to stop it from flowering. This plant can then be a “mother” for you to take cuttings from whenever you wish. The amount of light that marijuana
receives determines the quantity and quality of the blooms. The photo period is the number of light hours verses dark hours in 1 day, when growing marijuana you need 12 hours of dark each day to flower well. If you are in a position to use Mother Nature, Sunshine is more intense than any artificial light and is free.
However some Countries/areas have limited light to get the right balance, Greenhouses can assist here in conjunction with electric lights to control light/darkness balance. All combinations work OK but its best to use sodium bulbs in horizontal shades for flowering. Plan on giving 30 to 60 watts of light for each square foot of growing space.Under continuous light marijuana will grow but will not flower and produce buds. Darkness makes the plants produce flowering hormones and regular undisturbed darkness will make them stop growing and start flowering.
Be Careful!!! When Growing Marijuana
Your Grow Lights get hot! and can burn plants that get too near. However the closer the light to the plants the more intense light they receive. In general keep 400 w lights 30 to 45 cm above plants and 1000 w lights 45 to 75 cm above plants. Outdoors the seasons control the photoperiod. As the summer comes to an end and the nights become longer marijuana flowers ready to produce seed. Indoors you control the photoperiod so you can start flowering whenever you wish. The most efficient types of lighting are sodium or metal halide high intensity discharge (HID) lamps. Metal halides are strong in the blue spectrum of light and are good for growth. Sodium lights are strong in the red spectrum of light and are good for flowering.
Fluorescent light is fine for the growing stage but flowering plants really need more intense HID light. If fluorescents are your only choice choose alternate rows of “Cool White” and “Warm White” bulbs and place them only a few cm`s away from your plants.
When Growing Marijuana you must feed the weed!
marijuana is a nitrogen lover and whilst in its growing stage it will need a feed with extra nitrogen, When flowering starts it will require extra
phosphorus and potassium instead. This is why a lot of marijuana nutrients come in two or even three part formulas. If a plant looks under fed check the p.h. of the medium and water before adding more nutrients. If your growing in soil make sure your not over watering and suffocating the plants roots. Soil should be allowed to dry a little between watering.
Nutrients have an N.P.K. ratio on the packet. This shows the amount of Nitrogen(N), Phosphorus(P) and Potassium(K) the nutrient contains as a percentage. A complete fertilizer will also contain all the other nutrients and minerals a plant needs for good growth. If you choose to grow Organically getting a good safe balanced mix for plants grown in the ground can take months. Early planning and ground preparation is essential and you still may need to add some nutrients down the line, growing organically does mean paying a little more attention in this instance.
Whatever nutrient you use you should always stop feeding at least 10 days before harvest. Only give the plant p.h. balanced water from then on. Doing this will help “flush” the nutrients out the plant and produce better tasting and better burning buds
Females and Males
Females Clusters of flowers known as buds or colas only occur on Female, or Hermaphrodite Plant. Hermaphrodites are plants that are part Male part Female. If you want Sinsemelia Buds make sure you only have pure Females.
Early Male flowers look a bit like small bunches of mini green bananas. Look near the leaf joins on your plants to see them emerging.
When to Harvest your Marijuana
marijuana usually takes between 8 and 12 weeks to finish flowering, Plants will continue
living for longer than this but their potency may begin to drop. Getting your harvest timed right will help you produce stronger, tastier buds. Flowering times given by Seed Companies usually refer to the time taken to flower when grown from seed. Cuttings can take a week or so longer to finish flowering, so can plants that are bent or trained during growth.
When growing marijuana timing of the harvest indoors is not as crucial as the timing of a harvest outdoors. Indoor plants do not have nature attacking them with wind, rain, mist and killer frosts. Harvest or protect outdoor plants if heavy frosts are due.
Be patient, a lot of marijuana varieties produce the bulk of their buds in their last few weeks of growth. When your buds look done wait another week to be sure you are not missing out on a growth spurt at the end of flowering. A good sign of ripeness is the color of the stigmas there are usually white hairs sticking out all over the buds. As each flower ripens the stigmas shrivel and turn brown. When about 75% of the plants stigmas are brown it is about ready to harvest. Use a magnifying glass to look at the t.h.c. glands growing on the buds, These crystal clear mushroom like growths turn milky white when at their peak. If they have browned and lose their heads then they are past their best.
marijuana is easier to trim when it`s freshly cut and it`s leaves are rigid with water, try not to cut down more than you can trim in a few hours. If you have no choice you can put the plants in vases of water until you are ready for them.
To be sure your marijuana reaches its full potential you should make sure that you dry it properly. Chemical changes occur during drying that will increase the active ingredients Do not cut corners with Drying, bad drying will decrease those precious active ingredients. One of the simplest methods of drying is to hang plants from a string, this allows air circulation and keeps the buds from touching anything you don’t want the drying marijuana to be touched too often Sticky t.h.c. laden glands are easily dislodged …Problem Sometimes large colas are damp in the middle whilst brittle dry on the outside. Place these buds in plastic bags over night to even out the moisture content. Dried marijuana should be firm, springy and should not crumble when handled. Ideally the drying area should be around room temperature (low 70`s)and in darkness. As about 75% of the weight of fresh cut marijuana is water ventilation and air circulation are also important to avoid any problems with mould.
When your marijuana has dried to an acceptable level it can be stored in dark, air tight containers. Many people freeze their marijuana or keep it in the refrigerator, this helps prolong the freshness the same way it does with other herbs. Mould can destroy your drying plants overnight, Make sure you open up big colas to check for grey moulds. Any plants found to be going mouldy should be separated from the rest, trimmed of the mould and quick dried. The first 3 or 4 days are the most crucial, marijuana dried any quicker than this will often be harsh, brittle and of inferior quality to the same bud dried a bit more slowly. After 3 or 4 days you can speed up the drying if you really need to. Curing is a longer more drawn out drying period.

It’s impossible to dispute that something just-picked is far superior to a similar item imported from hundreds or thousands of miles away. Locally-grown flowers are fresher, they’re more fragrant, they’re better for the environment and they’re better for the community.
Up to 90 percent of flowers sold in the United States come from Colombia and Ecuador. Those flowers are often harvested as many as 7 days before they reach the store. They’re usually grown and preserved using harsh chemicals. And they’re shipped in a mountain of packaging. When you buy local flowers, they’re sold the same day they’re picked and there’s almost no packaging waste. And, if you buy flowers grown using sustainable practices, you avoid those toxic chemicals too.
On a purely economic level, buying locally-grown flowers keeps your money local, supports local businesses, and provides local farmers with jobs. On a personal level, you have the chance to get to know the farmer who grew your flowers, and to learn how and where your flowers were grown. Doing just that helps to build community and can reconnect the buyer in some small way back to nature.
At Aster B. Flowers we use sustainable and organic growing practices. Our goal is to grow beautiful, fragrant cut flowers for sale locally, while at the same time causing no harm to our environment or the people and creatures that live in it.

The community garden has 51 ground level garden plots and 7 raised garden boxes, all in full production. The raised boxes provide gardening access for those individuals who have mobility challenges and are living both in the community and at Sherbrooke. There are also two school garden plots that are planted by a class from Cardinal Leger School and a class from Greystone Heights School.
The garden allows children to learn about growing vegetables, healthy eating and in the fall about harvesting and cooking meals from produce that they have grown themselves. Two “help yourself” garden plots have also been established for the general public to access, with carrots, tomatoes, squash, swiss chard, and beans. These are just a few of the many vegetables available for everyone’s enjoyment. There is also a “help yourself” orchard located across the alley from the garden adjacent to the cafeteria windows at Sherbrooke. Check out the cherry and apple trees as they begin to produce fruit that can be picked and used for baking or preserves. A compost work group made up of gardeners is organizing and operating the composting of our weeds and garden waste. Composting helps reduce and recycle the waste in the garden and turns it back into rich compost that enhances the growing soil. The garden is an enjoyable place to walk and to observe the changing landscape, the birds and activity. The garden is also becoming a wonderful place to meet and talk with people from the neighbourhood. Bring your coffee or supper and enjoy sitting on a bench in the shade while you watch gardeners work. A waiting list has been developed for future interested gardeners. You can contact the garden committee at [email protected] for further information or if interested in being on the waiting list. Happy Gardening!
College Park Accessible Community Garden Report 2014
We had our fourth successful gardening season this year with 74 different garden plots including 11 raised garden boxes. Our gardeners consist of individuals, couples, families and one school classroom from Greystone Heights School. Combined we had over 120 people gardening who enjoyed fresh vegetables that they grew from seed or plants. This year we were part of the City of Saskatoon’s Compost Green Bin program and found that the garden refuse was huge and that in 2015 we will be requesting a second bin and continue to compost through this program. Sherbrooke Community Centre had a group of grade 6 students (iGen) who are on-site at their facility and these students volunteered tomulch our pathways of our garden in September. They did a wonderful job and we will be looking forward to the iGen classroom gardening with us in the Spring. At this time we have a waiting list of 7 people for garden plots for next year. If you live in the College Park, East College Park or Greystone Heights area you qualify to apply for a garden plot for 2015 and can be added to our waiting list.

The islands lie close to the equator and are subject to the west and east monsoon cycle. As in Bali, the year is basically divided into two periods: a first period that runs from the end of April or beginning of May, (sasih jesta according to the Balinese lunar calendar) to the end of September (sasih katiga) characterised by a hot and dry climate called masan panes.
Image right: Birding Observation Site at Tembeling (by author Godi Dijkman)
During this period the prevailing winds reaching Bali and Nusa Penida come from the south-east and are mainly dry. Precipitation is at a minimum, farming activities nearly stop and tend to be limited to the harvest of beans or peanuts and the search for fodder for the animals (cows and pigs).
There follows a second period from the beginning of October (sasih kapat) to the end of March (sasih kesanga), which is characterised by regular precipitation called masan ujan (rainy season). At the beginning of October the prevailing winds change and they reach Bali and Nusa Penida from the south-west. These winds bring to the islands the western monsoon with its rain. During this period in Nusa Penida all the relevant farming activities begin, such as the planting of maize, of dry rice, beans and cassava. Because of the dry environment farmers tend to plant all crops at the beginning of the rainy season so as to maximise the chances of a successful harvest.
Notwithstanding the proximity to the equator, the level of precipitation in Nusa Penida is considerably lower than that registered in the central areas of Bali and comparable only to the Balinese area of bukit. The average rain fall of Nusa Penida 1989, compared with the areas Klungkung and Denpasar, was according to statistical sources: Nusa Penida 1.169.0 mm; Klungkung 2.127 .01 mm; Denpasar 2,081.6 mm.
The lower levels of rainfall in Nusa Penida may be explained both my the island's low profile and by its geographical position since Nusa Penida is partly shaded by Bali's major mountains which virtually block the western clouds from moving eastward during the period of the western monsoon.
The general level of rainfall is dependent on hemispheric climatic conditions and 1990 was one of the worst years for Nusa Penida as far as shortage of rainfall was concerned. In that year there was a three months lag in the arrival of the western monsoon. The delay had a severe impact on the local economy, forcing the postponement of all seasonal planting and causing the loss seeds. The drought was so severe and the farmers' anxiety for the dying crops so intense that rituals for the calling of rain were performed in two of the major temples of the island, Pura Segera Penida and Pura Sahab Batumadeg. The first rain fell at the end of December. The prolonged drought caused the end of all deomestic water supplies forcing people to walk long distances to the rare wells and springs in search of water.

Etherisc and ACRE Africa said they had processed insurance payouts for some of the more than 17,000 smallholder farmers in Kenya covered under the collaboration. The Chainlink Community Grant, the Ethereum Foundation and the Decentralized Insurance Foundation helped fund the project, which was first announced in November 202.
“We’re thrilled that after months of hard work on this initiative, we’re seeing the fruits of our labour — which has a tangible social impact on farmers in Kenya who are threatened by the devastating effects of climate change,” said Etherisc chief inclusive officer Michiel Berende. “The solution that we built with our valued partners at ACRE Africa overcomes a number of challenges associated with traditional crop insurance — delayed payments, high premium costs, and lack of transparency.”
As part of the initiative, smallholder farmers are reportedly able to pay as little as $0.50 in premiums to receive coverage for crops adversely affected by climate change — Kenya has been previously hit hard by both droughts and flooding. Though Etherisc and ACRE Africa said they aimed to reach roughly 250,000 farmers in East Africa, some of those already receiving coverage have been paid using an end-to-end solution on the blockchain.
Etherisc reported it had dispersed payments to farmers in need using the cash and mobile payment system M-Pesa, with roughly 6,000 expected to be compensated for lost or affected crops before the end of the season. Kenya is home to a large number of flower farms, but it also grows sugarcane, sweet potatoes, maize and other fruits and vegetables.
Many have touted blockchain solutions for a multitude of issues facing residents of African nations, from helping women become financially independent to proposing blockchain voting systems to reduce costs and provide more secure elections. In Zimbabwe, a blockchain-based tracing app allows local farmers to track and trace cattle, a system aimed at making it easier to export beef and increase profits.

The traditional pest management solution for most growers is based on the premise that "when in doubt, spray," and they often spray with conventional insecticides. Frequently, treatments are scheduled on a calendar basis and deployed independent of the pest's presence in the field. Five key problems have been associated with this constant misuse and overuse of conventional insecticides to control insect pests:
ISCA's development of environmentally friendly, natural and pheromone based tools and solutions for agricultural and urban applications provide a complete solution to these traditional insecticide related problems.
ISCA Technologies, Inc. (Riverside, CA) is a successful corporation whose mission is to protect the world from damaging insects and disease causing pathogens, by developing tools and solutions that are economical, effective and ecologically friendly. Its product range comprises more than 300 species specific insect lures (made with nature identical semiochemicals such as pheromones and natural attractants), more than 20 different types of insect traps, proprietary semiochemical controlled release technologies such as SPLATTM (Specialized Pheromone & Lure Application Technology), and a range of novel pest management tools (such as bio-functionalized nanosensors for the detection of plant pathogens).
ISCA's commercialization record
ISCA has a strong track record of developing, manufacturing and successfully commercializing pest management tools and solutions. With ISCA’s outstanding insect chemical ecology, synthesis and analysis capabilities, it is the world’s sole or largest commercial source for many difficult to synthesize insect pheromones.
ISCA's research & development record
ISCA is heavily involved with contract and in-house biological/entomological research and development. It has a multi-disciplinary team of highly specialized researchers: entomologists, biologists, chemical ecologists, organic and analytical chemists, engineers and information technologists, who have ample experience with integrated pest management (IPM), insect trap development, insect pest monitoring programs and monitoring technology, and insect behavioral assays. Some of ISCA’s facilities include a state-of-the-art semiochemical synthesis and analysis lab; a range of insect testing facilities (e.g. insect wind tunnel and insect testing rooms) for behavioral assays; and production and warehouse facilities both in the US and Brazil. ISCA's team of researchers is constantly working together to develop innovative, environmentally friendly and cost-effective IPM tools and solutions.
ISCA's contribution to a better and safer world
Global losses caused by pests account for approximately 30-40% of potential food, fiber, and feed production worldwide, with substantially higher losses in many developing countries. These losses are estimated to be US$300 billion annually. For a better and safer world, ISCA shares a commitment and responsibility to reduce the staggering human suffering and economic losses caused by pests. - | agronomy |

Pagina Principal en Español
Welcome to the World Potato Atlas, an ongoing project sponsored by the International Potato Center (Centro Internacional de la Papa, or CIP) to provide a forum for information exchange about potato cultivation and use around the developing world, presented in a wider context of international agricultural development.
In addition to global themes, chapters of several countries are organized by:
- History and Overview;
- Geography and Production Zones;
- Production Systems and Constraints;
- Varieties and Seed Systems;
- Consumption, Storage, and Marketing;
- Research Facilities and Contacts.
Although the atlas is intended primarily for people with a general interest in agricultural development, links to other websites address topics of more specialized research. (Some are included as relevant in country chapters. Others are listed under Potato Info Links.) We have attempted to provide the most authoritative and complete information available for each country, but much of this information is available only as "gray literature." Unfortunately, this is most often the case for countries facing the greatest poverty, hence of greatest interest to CIP.
Only a few countries are initially included here, clearly not all where potato is an important crop. Instead, we have tried to provide more intensive treatment of a representative sample, with primary attention to those where potato production can help meet the food security and economic development needs of the world's poorest people. Areas of highest priority have been identified by a consideration of both the importance of potato and a composite of several indicators of poverty, as described in Implementing CIP's Vision: Impact Targeting.
!PTCOUNTRIES081217.jpg|thumbnail,align=left! Countries included as chapters in the World Potato Atlas
(To view this map, click on the thumbnail and expand the image as desired.)
In a few cases, a chapter provides an example of a larger region, for example Tajikistan of Central Asia and Armenia of the Caucasus. The previous version of the atlas, partially included here as archive chapters, includes many additional countries and is available mostly for historic background information.
Since the release of the first World Potato Atlas, CIP has become actively involved with sweetpotato and several other root and tuber crops. The World Sweetpotato Atlas is a new effort reflecting this focus.
The potential benefit of this project depends on its active use as a means of information exchange. Further contributions and dialogue are very welcome (Contact us), and any contributors will be acknowledged. We hope that this project will continue to grow with the ongoing participation of clients like you. | agronomy |

Still, even with all my carping about antibiotics in animal feed, I had not realized that vegetables like corn, potatoes and lettuce absorb antibiotics when fertilized with livestock manure. Usually, one hears about antibiotic transmission through meat and dairy products. I was even more disturbed to learn (all of this from the Environmental Health News) that eating organic offers no protection — though, given the way USDA organic certification has been canted in favor of Big Food, I should have guessed.
This information about contaminated produce comes from a 2005 University of Minnesota study where researchers planted corn, scallions and cabbage in manure-treated soil and a similar 2007 study on corn, lettuce and potatoes. In each case, the crops were found to contain antibiotics (chlortetracycline and sulfamethazine, respectively).
The reason organic certification offers no protection lies with lack of USDA restrictions on using manure from animals treated with antibiotics. Since 90% of the drugs administered to these animals gets excreted in their urine or manure, which then gets spread on soil used to grow vegetables, the vegetables absorb the antibiotics. Eventually, so too do we. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, animals receive over 25 million pounds of antibiotics each year in the United States.
Recommendations abound to mitigate the problem, although none have so far been implemented. Some mitigation strategies offer significant cause for concern. For example, some suggest high temperature composting, which can reduce antibiotic concentrations significantly. However, it has no effect whatsoever on concentrations of sulfamethazine, a commonly administered drug. Such proposals terrify me because, even if implemented, they will not fix the problem while likely giving Big Food a free pass to continue using antibiotics indefinitely.
Don’t get me wrong; I favor high temperature composting. It’s part of any sustainable agriculture program and one of many steps necessary to combat climate change. However, it will not solve the antibiotic problem.
The solution to this particular problem is simple: Ban subtherapeutic antibiotic use in agriculture, much as Europe did in 2006. The status quo is incredibly dangerous, both to humans and the environment at large. A ban represents a straightforward solution that no one in this country with any juice will entertain.
Big Food argues that the drugs are necessary to its continued operation. Even if that were true (which it is not — the National Research Council estimates that a ban on subtherapeutic antibiotics would increase per capita costs a mere $5-10/year), so what? Industrial Agriculture brutalizes billions of animals in indescribable ways and forms one of the chief sources of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 (methane) and N2O). It also causes widespread environmental degradation and disease, including the swine and bird flu. I’m hard pressed to come up with a reason why its continued existence should be a national priority.

- SDG #2 Zero Hunger
- SDG #3 Good Health and Well Being
- SDG #4 Quality Education
- SDG #5 Gender Equality
The charity in Tanzania has spent the last ten years working to break the inter-generational poverty that persists in many communities across Tanzania, and preventing some of the poorest, most vulnerable boys from ending up on the streets, by providing a quality education, shelter, food, and medical care. The community outreach projects the charity carries out in its immediate community in the Mabibo district of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, as well as this year’s expansion to take in poor, vulnerable girls who would not be afforded their right to a full and complete education, nor the autonomy to choose a life for themselves, is part of its efforts to achieve SDG #5 (Gender Equality). By empowering the poor women in the Mabibo region of Dar es Salaam, and by providing the benefits of security, care, and a complete education for vulnerable girls, the charity is focused on reducing inequalities.
Another hopeful development, and one that the charity anticipates will add more to the list of SDG sustainability goals above, is the cultivation of a plot of land, situated in the Kigamboni region of Dar es Salaam. With the express wishes of the owners, the plot is now being considered for agricultural development. With the ever growing pressure on efficient land utilisation, and the need to keep costs as low as possible so that every dollar donated is responsibly and sustainably spent, the opportunity to harness the land for responsible consumption and production of food arose when Dar es Salaam based agribusiness Balton generously donated an irrigation system to the charity.
The charity is always looking to maximise the impact of the money and goods that it receives through generous donations. The donation of an irrigation kit by Balton, facilitated by The Empathy Between Species Project, has provided the charity with the opportunity to become more self-sufficient and sustainable. Through the cultivation of crops on the plot of land situated to the south of Tanzania’s biggest city of Dar es Salaam, the charity can become more reliant on its own produce to feed the growing kids in its care, rather than a monthly expenditure on food. The self-sufficient cultivation of nutritious crops would mean the charity is taking steps to fulfil SDG #11 (Sustainable Cities) and SDG #12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). In a rapidly expanding city, the resource demand is only going to increase significantly. The charity is keen to do its bit to reduce this burden. Any produce that is surplus to the charity’s requirements could then be sold on the local market, thus reducing the need for longer routes to market, as well as providing a modest revenue stream for the charity.
It would also reaffirm SDG #3 (Good Health and Well Being) by giving the kids that are housed in the crowded, built up region of Mabibo, the opportunity to learn about the origins of their food, as well as good land and crop management. It would also facilitate more awareness of a growing commercial sector in Tanzania: undoubtedly a beneficial experience. Such a connection to the food chain and the process of crop production would be a valuable, practical lesson for the kids beyond what they are taught in the classroom.
The question remains: Which crops are the best choice for the small plot of land in Kigamboni, in south Dar es Salaam? There are crops of maize grown nearby, but the charity is keen to provide the most nutrient rich crops for the kids in its care, and make the most of the land resource available. As stated in this BBC feature, the need for super-crops that are more fruitful, drought resistant, disease tolerant, and nutritious are incredibly important for a country such as Tanzania, that has a youth bulge to sustain. Would the sandy soil be capable of sustaining crops such as Cowpea, Pigeon pea, Finger millet, Pearl millet, and Red Sorghum?
As this would be the House of Blue Hope charity’s first sustainability project, the charity is keen to learn from any experienced agribusiness operators based in Dar es Salaam who have workable knowledge of the area’s crop potential. If any readers have insight into these matters, and are interested in providing any aid in this area to help increase the self-sufficiency and sustainability of the charity, please do not hesitate to get in touch at [email protected] | agronomy |

Immediately seductive, complex nose expresses aromas of Bing cherry and boysenberry, followed closely by distinctive and captivating notes of minerality, cola and lavender. The palate is seamless from start to finish, beginning with a bright and silky entry that transitions to an ample core of dark cherry and wild blackberry. An elegant and lasting finish lingers with traces of dark chocolate and earth.
In April of 2013, the vines awoke early from their winter slumber. Frost damage was no concern as we were greeted with a bounty of spring sunshine and moderate temperatures. Flowering followed suit, always an important and telling event, and was also a few weeks earlier than the previous year. These initial warm spring temperatures and the continued sunshine would turn out to be the key to our success. As the season changed to summer, the beautiful sunshine persisted, allowing for ample ripeness and generous tannin development. With only a few weeks remaining in the growing season and the red wine harvest just days away, we received an unusual September rain. As the season had been<br />abundant in sunshine and heat, we harvested half of<br />our grapes prior to the rain; the other half we opted<br />to leave on the vine in hopes of enhanced<br />complexity. As a reward for our patience, we were<br />given enough sunny weather to dry out the<br />remaining grapes and conclude another successful<br />harvest.
Mineral Springs Vineyard consists of 34 acres of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay situated along the ridgeline of the greater property of 240 acres we call Mineral Springs Ranch (“MSR”). This is a privileged location in the world for Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. The right elevation, aspect, row orientation, ventilation and uniquely well-drained soils derived from marine sedimentary sandstone all contribute to consistently great
results. Remaining acreage is committed to a diverse and inspired set of uses such as fir forest, oak woodland preservation, orchards, an heirloom vegetable farm, organic grain cultivation, and grazing lands. Michelle Soter’s vision is the Ranch produce more than just wine-that it act as a source of food for employees, guests and local charities. The Soters believe elevating the vine only serves to highlight the land that nurtures us all.

Our approach goes above and beyond the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to foster deep level learning and optimise potential.
We offer a range of unique educational experiences which enable children to become successful, lifelong learners including:
Children today, have an ever-growing curiosity about the outside world, where foods come from and how they grow. Garden Champions is our own bespoke gardening activity. This activity extends children’s knowledge of the outdoor environment, habitats, caring for living things, growth cycles and growing vegetation outdoors. Our Garden Champion activities are an effective method of harnessing our children’s curiosity in this area and shaping their understanding of the world around them.
Our nursery has a nominated ‘Garden Champion’ who attends regular training sessions to further develop their own knowledge and skills, enabling them to bring back to nursery, a range of seasonal activities which can be carried out with the children. This is not simply an activity of planting grass seeds in a pot, but is in fact an opportunity for children to make use of real-life gardening tools and equipment to prepare an area, sow seeds, tend to vegetation and harvest their produce at the end of the process. The use of these tools further extends the children’s knowledge and understanding of how to manage their own risk, handle tools carefully, and keep themselves safe in an outdoor environment. Our children always complete their own visual risk assessment of the area, with the support of a practitioner, and decide for themselves if it is an appropriate and safe time to complete their activity. If the children decide it is not, they will then discuss what can be done to make it so.
Aside from developing knowledge of plant life and what is needed to promote healthy growth of their garden, our children also gain an understanding of agriculture, farming and the food chain, through a wide range of extension opportunities, both inside and outside of the classroom.
Fruits and vegetables grown are picked and prepared by the children, alongside the nursery chef, who will then factor them into the menu for that day. This provides children with the ‘garden to plate’ experience, a fundamental aspect of supporting them in being able to make informed choices about the foods they put into their bodies.
Our nursery is registered with the Royal Horticultural Society and has achieved their RHS accreditation. | agronomy |

For several decades, date production in the Kebili region of Tunisia has focused mainly on the Deglet Nour variety. However, there are many other date varieties in the region, known as common varieties, which are less demanding in terms of inputs and often more resilient to climate change. Restoring the importance of these varieties, along with other actions to strengthen biodiversity in the oases, could boost the resilience of oasis agriculture in the Kebili region.

Last November 15, this newsletter announced Cruces Creatives’s first grant award: a project, funded by the Thornburg Foundation and McCune Charitable Foundation, for work with farmers, ranchers, and agricultural scientists to identify and address obstacles to regenerative agriculture (an approach to farming and ranching that can offer both environmental and economic benefits by cultivating ecosystem health from the soils up). Within the project, Cruces Creatives has been responsible for technology development and coordinating the efforts of the different groups and skill sets involved. The project finishes this week, and it has been a tremendous success!
Over 85% of the farmers and ranchers participating in the project reported that they were able to implement new regenerative agriculture practices and expand their existing regenerative practices thanks to their participation, and the technology team at Cruces Creatives has been able to develop both a cloud-connected soil temperature sensor and a grain cleaner for amaranth seeds, which are native and extremely drought tolerant. Thanks to the Thornburg Foundation and the McCune Charitable Foundation for making this work possible!
Local artists Raquel Madrigal and Henry Hartig have finished the mural “By the Dam” on the north side of Cruces Creatives, and it looks great! The mural is part of a bi-national art exhibit, “Species in Peril Along the Rio Grande.” | agronomy |

La Botica Verde is an online conscious supermarket that connects local producers to better-paying markets. We support conscious shoppers in their quest to live a greener lifestyle while incentivizing better practices in the field that protect our natural resources.
WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
We consider ourselves a conscious supermarket because we care about the health of our society and planet. We handpick the best product alternatives so that you don't have to. Our four pillars of sustainability are: local, organic, fair-trade, and zero-waste. We support small, organic producers connect to local markets to incentivize better agricultural practices that generate more income and protect our health and the health of our planet.
HOW IT WORKS
We make it easy to live a green lifestyle! La Botica Verde is a one-stop-shop for all your favorite guilt-free products. Shopping with us is a liberating experience. You can order and pay online, we have a zero-waste commitment so our packaging is biodegradable or returnable, our products are affordable, and we deliver straight to your home!
OUR IMPACT TO DATE
We started in 2017 with 10 clients, 20 organic products, and 1 organic producer. Today, we are working with a network of hundreds of clients and producers offering over 800 different products and have completed more than 2,500 orders to date. Our farmers are earning 2-3 times more by working with us than they did before and families, both in the field and in cities, have access to healthier, more nutritious foods.
NOT CONVINCED YET?
We are not trying to reinvent the wheel here people. By now it is known that conventional agricultural practices can be incredibly detrimental to our environment and our health. La Botica Verde provides a win-win-win solution to this problem. By supporting farmers become land stewards, we can protect our natural resources, enhance farmer resiliency to climate change, have an abundance of nutritious foods that can help combat child malnutrition AND provide better incomes for people living in rural communities. Really, it just makes sense.
Hello! If you don't know me yet, my name is Michelle and I am the founder of La Botica Verde. I am a permie, foodie, and nature lover that has worked in international development for over 10yrs. I hold an MBA in Social Entrepreneurship from Colorado State University, bachelor's degrees in Sociology and Latin American Studies from Tulane University, and a CIS certificate in Advanced Project Management. Prior to starting La Botica Verde, I was an independent consultant for NGOs and social enterprises helping them design, fund and implement their projects throughout Latin America. After many years, I decided to combine my passion for sustainable agriculture with my expertise in social entrepreneurship and international development to create La Botica Verde as a way to improve livelihoods through ecological design and management.
WHY WE ARE SEEKING FUNDS
We are seeking funding in order to accelerate the growth of the company and to expand our positive impact. We want to prove that sustainable agriculture can provide a viable path to financial, social and environmental sustainability so that more want to make the transition. This is a lofty goal and we need you, our Green Guardians, to help us get there! Together we can create a better future in which every single organism in our ecosystem thrives.
We are so grateful to have you as a member of La Botica Verde community and are deeply thankful for your trust and support. We would not be here without you! | agronomy |

Since beginning our partnership, our chefs have visited The Walled Garden on a regular basis, assisting David Love Cameron in restoring the gardens to their former glory. David has introduced us to a wartime method of preservation, known as ‘clamping vegetables’, that we are very interested to experiment with in the Walled Garden in the months and years to come.
The method of ‘clamping vegetables’ can be applied to all root vegetables and potatoes, and is derived from an old World War Two method of gardening, when householders set their gardens aside to produce vegetables in a bid to counteract the effects of rationing. Whilst this may seem like an old-fashioned method of preservation, it is actually the perfect way to store vegetables without the use of a refrigerator and is a useful skill to have in your armory.
This traditional method of preserving the root vegetables was known as 'clamping' and it involved storing the vegetables in what was known as a 'clamp'. The principles were:
· To store only those vegetables that were in sound condition and to remove excess stalks and leaves that could rot in storage
· To keep the stored vegetables slightly moist so that they did not dry out while keeping out the wet which would have made them rot
· To prevent the frost getting to them
· To prevent the light getting to them.
The simplest way to try your hand at this method of preservation is the sandbox method, which could be attempted in a garage or shed, if you happen to have the space to do so. It’s a very straightforward process – just make sure any local moggies can’t access your lovingly created sandbox!
1. Dig the vegetables carefully, cut back the foliage close to the root and wash off the soil to prevent any fungal damage during storage.
2. The much cosseted vegetables are kept in a frost-free place in damp sand. As with all stored vegetables, it’s vital to keep them moist: whilst they are growing, they absorb the liquid they require, but once harvested, they stop doing so. The vegetables must be kept damp, but not wet, to prevent the dehydration that would result in wrinkly, rubbery specimens.
3. It is also important not to store vegetables close to apples. When in storage, apples give off ethylene, a gas that first encourages crops to ripen and then to decay. This could cause the dormancy of your vegetables to be broken. | agronomy |
