SS661:2020 Specification for clean and green urban farms
SS 661: Specification for Clean and Green Urban Farms”. The standard, developed by the Singapore Standards Council (SSC) and the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), sets guidelines to minimize contaminants in food production and sustainable practices on resource and waste management in urban farms. SS 661 provides measurable clean and green benchmarks on how vegetables are farmed, harvested, packaged, stored, and transported to address consumers’ needs for pesticide-free sustainably grown vegetables.
• Allow modernized farms to differentiate their brand and capture markets locally and internationally
• Encourage more urban farms to produce agri-produces that are clean (pesticide/ herbicides/ antibiotic-free) and green (minimal exploitation of natural resources)
• Strengthen Singapore’s position as a thought leader in urban agriculture/ aquaculture
• Form a foundation for IHLs and TIC companies to build competencies in sustainable urban farming and support the transforming agri-food industry | agronomy |

on May 09, 2022
Ewing, NJ – Today, Sustainable Jersey for Schools announced the 26 New Jersey public schools and districts selected to receive Sustainable Jersey for Schools grants funded by the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA). Sixteen $10,000 grants and ten $2,000 grants were distributed to support a variety of projects including aquaponics systems, outdoor classrooms, pollinator and edible gardens, water bottle refilling stations, tree planting, food waste and composting initiatives, mindfulness programs, student green team capacity building and more.
With this contribution NJEA has provided $1.75 million to support a sustainable future for children across the state through the Sustainable Jersey for Schools program. “This is an important program that directs resources into our schools and NJEA is proud to continue to work with Sustainable Jersey,” said NJEA President Sean Spiller. “When our students can learn, at an early age, that sustainable and healthy practices often go “hand in hand” with economic efficiencies, we all benefit from the positive changes. It is our job to help create a new generation of engaged citizens and leaders. We help ensure that we leave a better world for our students when we emphasize the value of sustainability.”
In addition to the grant funding, NJEA supports Sustainable Jersey for Schools as a program underwriter. “Sustainable Jersey is proud to support the work of each of these schools and school districts and to recognize the dedication of every applicant,” said Sustainable Jersey Executive Director Randall Solomon. “These creative projects are exceptional and will serve to accelerate school-centered sustainability programs as we head into a pivotal decade for climate action and sustainability in our state.” Proposals were judged by an independent Blue-Ribbon Selection Committee. | agronomy |

Because the quality of the wines is produced exclusively in the vineyard – in the cellar we then try to preserve the quality given to us by nature with as little intervention as possible.
For this reason we equipped our cellar facilities with modern, advanced technology in 2016, which allows us to process the grapes as gently as possible. Force of gravity, without unnecessary pumping, a gentle pressing as well as the temperature-controlled fermentation are just as much a part of this as is the subsequent maturation on the fine lees in large and small wooden casks or stainless steel tanks, depending on the type of wine. The grapes are fundamentally grown and processed in an environmentally friendly and sustainable fashion. And we place great importance on authenticity – the characteristics of terroir and the individual grape variety stand in the foreground. | agronomy |

https://fiatas.com.au/how-deep-should-a-raised-garden-box-be/ | 2024-04-13T00:49:13 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816465.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20240412225756-20240413015756-00853.warc.gz | 0.934539 | 598 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__181231888 | en | The depth required is a crucial consideration when choosing a raised garden box. If you are placing your box on a patio or terrain where the soil beneath is not suitable for development, your plants must grow within the confines of the bed itself. A raised bed should be able to blend in with its surroundings while also appropriately supporting your plants’ roots. The soil depth required is determined by the type of plants planted, the soil conditions, and the desired aesthetic. Other significant factors to consider are the shape, size, and material of the raised garden bed. Because there is such a diverse range of designs accessible internationally, selecting one can be difficult.
However, the wide selection of patterns ensures that there is a match for every landscape type, spending level, and fashion preference. Depending on your preferences and garden setting, a raised garden box can be either informal or formal. We advise using contemporary, industrial metal beds to display vegetable gardens because they can serve as an eye-catching garden focal point and dramatically brighten dark regions or outdoor eating areas. It’s crucial to keep in mind that the bed’s size should correspond to the area around it. The ideal option if you don’t have much room is to get modular raised garden beds, which let you adjust the size of the box to fit your space.
One should always carefully evaluate the depth of the raised bed, whether it is a metal raised bed in a vegetable garden or an irregularly shaped perennial border garden that stands behind a dry-stone wall. It’s not necessarily necessary for a raised bed to have a substantial depth to be useful. Since the majority of plant roots need 6 to 8 inches of soil for good root growth, they should have at least 8 inches of soil depth to accommodate their root systems. Most gardening settings only require a depth of 8 to 12 inches. Raised beds allow for great drainage, making it feasible to grow a large number of vegetables in a small area. The depth of your raised garden bed might be taller and filled with a porous growing medium if drainage is a problem or if the plants you intend to cultivate prefer a setting with drier soil.
Any material you use for a raised bed should be strong, beautiful, and stable. The construction of your garden bed is crucial since it affects how effectively it will integrate into the surroundings. The sidewalls of the bed give it structural support and aid in keeping the soil in one area. Raised garden beds can have sides made of brick and stone, wood, metal panels, or both. When looking at raised garden bed ideas, it’s crucial to take the depth of your beds into account, but it’s also crucial to think about the material of your garden bed. To give their roots more room, some gardeners choose to use their shovels to dig beneath the soil, particularly if their garden bed is crowded or small. Double digging is a labour-intensive and time-consuming technique | agronomy |

There are various tricks to allow you to maximize your yields. Genetics plays a vital role, and getting quality autoflowering cannabis seeds that produce maximum yields should be the starting point. However, without proper control, even quality weed strains may fail to deliver the desired results.
Unfortunately, there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Some focus on time-consuming and expensive projects that don’t result in significant improvements. We know that you’d want to focus on those strategies that bring the best out of your cannabis plant.
The most common factors contributing to the booming marijuana harvest are temperature, nutrients, harvest time, and light. Let’s look at how you can utilize and maximize the benefit of each of these aspects.
Pruning involves eliminating parts of the plants that inhibit the overall marijuana plant development. Large leaves that stick up above typically block the light from getting to the plant below. Trim the plant to ensure no part is being shaded and make the canopy even.
Dead yellow leaves consume a lot of plant’s resources. Eliminating them means nutrients and other resources will now go to bud production or something more productive than feeding dead leaves. Besides pruning, you can also train your plants by forcing some branches to grow sideways. They will later turn upwards to the light, but they’re likely to end up wider because they started growing wider first.
Wider plants have enough canopy area for the light to hit, which means more bud sites and more yields. Keeping your marijuana plants short also allows your plants to use fewer resources to grow tall rather than using those resources for budding.
Prune whenever your plants grow into a bush and eliminate leaves and buds dying due to lack of light. However, stop pruning and training once your plants hit the flowering phase.
Setting a favorable climatic control
Growing cannabis under natural climatic conditions is more straightforward but does not guarantee maximum yields. However, indoor marijuana cultivators can control the climate by regulating temperature and humidity.
Plants at the vegetative phase of development can grow with temperatures between 20-30 degrees Celsius with a 40-60% humidity. On the other hand, flowering plants are more sensitive to humidity. During the final weeks, the ideal humidity levels for plants during the early flowering stages are between 40-50% and 40-45%. You can maintain the temperature between 18-25 degrees Celsius.
Some locations are naturally within those ranges during some parts of the year. You can use humidifiers and heating, ventilation, and cooling systems whenever the humidity and temperature are above or below the optimum range.
Get the best seeds from https://amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com/seedshop-autoflowering-seeds and get a 100% germination guarantee.
Cannabis plants require a lot of light. Autoflowering seeds need no light to germinate. During the vegetative stage, weed plants need at least 18 hours of light and 6 hours of dark. During the flowering stage, schedule about 12 hours for lighting.
The key to marijuana lighting is providing even distribution of large amounts of light at each stage of development. The best types of lights to begin with for small-scale growing are LED and CMH. Both will provide incredible full-spectrum light and highly efficient.
Avoid LEDs that provide only red or blue light spectrums as they will not deliver the desired results.
Harvest at the right time
The key is: don’t harvest too late or too early. Harvesting your cannabis early means that the buds haven’t reached the peak of their potency. On the other hand, waiting for too long to harvest your marijuana leaves your plant past its peak potential, degrading its psychological effects after consumption.
Late harvests also worsen the smell and flavor. Harvesting marijuana based on maturation timing is proportional to its cannabinoid content.
There are two methods of identifying harvest time: the pistil and Trichome method.
- The pistil method
It’s too early to harvest your cannabis if you notice white pistils. The right time to harvest is when they turn dark. If you want to achieve high THC levels, wait for 60% of the pistils to turn dark. To get a calming anti-anxiety effect.
- Trichrome method
You will need to get a magnifier to focus on the glandular resins or trichomes on your cannabis buds. Begin checking the resin glands 21-28 days after the flowering stage has begun.
It’s time to harvest your marijuana whenever the trichomes appear cloudy and milky.
The ideal harvest time depends on the preferences of the grower. It depends on whether you want the cannabis that produces an energetic or a more relaxed high effect.
Understanding the genetics
The strains of outdoor or indoor autoflower seeds you buy will affect your buds’ strength and overall growth. That’s why you should get your Autoflowering seeds from a professional seed bank. The most common mistake marijuana growers make is picking cheap seeds. Paying more might assure you of better quality and quantity yields. Quality autoflowering cannabis seeds are dark in color, large, and have a shiny coat.
Getting the factors mentioned above right will have you enjoying maximum yields than the typical grower. Investing in a high-yielding autoflower seeds strain is one of the best ways of increasing your yields. Order from us now and forget about all the disappointments you got from substandard online seed banks. | agronomy |

I read that cotton was compostable and wanted to see if I could grow food using an old t-shirt.
"Matchsticks" was my favorite designs from our first Viper Black season back in Spring 2008.
I really liked this shirt and wore it everywhere. Many good times were had.
I wore it so often, it's time had come and was a really good candidate for this experiment. I decided to throw it in the compost bin to see what happened.
And added a few scraps to get it going.
It took quite a while to compost. Most of the food scraps in the compost bin would decompose in weeks, but the shirt took about 6 months. It slowly shredded somewhat at first, then eventually decomposed completely, becoming indiscernible from the other bits of broken down coffee filters and leaves in the bin.
Here's a video of the composting in progress
I planted the potatoes, simply using eyes of old potatoes, planted in a diamond pattern in 50% mix of compost and dirt.
I covered the potatoes with hay, watering very infrequently, and waited about four months (I said this was a long project).
Here is a batch of the potatoes coming out of the ground.
After rising off the dirt and my BO, the pototoes were ready for cooking.
I made a nice side of home fries to go along with my pesto omelet (with basil from the garden!).
So, there you have it. After one short year, I was able to show full cycle from used clothing, to compost, to garden to table. I'm not encouraging you throw your clothes into the compost bin before the Goodwill bin, but I hope it opens your mind to sustainability and sustainable fashion. It is possible for our society to move toward zero-waste if we think creatively and plan for our future. Please think twice before it goes to the landfill.
You don’t necessarily need to feel guilty about updating your wardrobe. Is there another use for this article of clothing? Can I re-sell it? Can I donate it? Can I use it as a rag? Can I make it into something new? Can I eat it?

The conversion from forage to silage is driven by a fermentation under anaerobic (without oxygen) conditions. Naturally occurring bacterial populations in the forage (epiphytes) drive the silage fermentation by utilising sugars to produce lactic acid, which lowers the pH of the silage. This preserves the forage helping to maintain the nutritional value. But if this is a natural process why the need for a silage inoculant?
Solely relying on the natural population of epiphytes to drive the fermentation is unwise in that, they are extremely varied in specie type and they differ vastly in their ability to ferment forages efficiently. Also depending on the forage type and the dry matter, there may be the need to add specialist heterolactic bacteria such as Lactobacillus buchneri and Lactobacillus hilgardii which improve aerobic stability in silage on opening, reducing DM losses and waste. Epiphytic homolactic bacteria are almost 100% efficient in their conversion of naturally occurring sugars to lactic acid. But they only represent a small proportion of the natural population of organisms present at ensiling. The majority of naturally found epiphytic bacteria in forage are poor at driving the fermentation and some can even be detrimental to the process. This leads to significant losses in energy, dry matter, digestibility, protein and spoilage losses.
A well-researched and supported silage inoculant works by adding high numbers of specifically selected efficient strains of homolactic and if required heterofermentative strains such as Lactobacillus buchneri 40788 to the forage. These efficient strains then outcompete the natural epiphytic populations and drive the fermentation to completion as quickly as possible. | agronomy |

Pasta is extremely good but we did not find a tasty and at the same time healthier gluten-free pasta until now. Several gluten-free pastas are based on ingredients that we do not want to put in our body. We want pasta that tastes really good and we love to enjoy delicious pasta, but we also want our food to be gentle on the intestines with a low amount of antinutrient, be gluten-free and naturally also organic. We have finally found a small family business in southern Italy that produces gluten-free organic pasta in the traditional way and from the type of flour we want and just the way we want it.
Why do we not want corn or maize in our pasta?
Corn / Maize can contain various forms of mycotoxins in far larger amounts than many other grains. There is a great risk that corn contains aflatoxin - a mycotoxin that comes from three different molds. Mycotoxins are extremely unhealthy. In addition, corn contains more problematic proteins and lectins than the grains we have in our pasta.
Why do we not want brown or whole grain rice in our pasta?
Whole grain rice / brown rice contains more fiber than white rice, but fiber should come from fruits and vegetables in our opinion, not from the bran, the hard outer layers of cereal grain. Whole grain fiber from cereals can create problems in people with sensitive digestive systems.
Many crops contain arsenic, but rice is known to contain more arsenic than any other cereal. Most arsenic is found in the husk (hull or bran) and germ. Rice grown under the same conditions and in the same soil will contain different amounts of arsenic depending on whether it is whole grain (more arsenic) or polished rice, so-called white rice (less arsenic).
Why do we want to reduce lectins in our pasta?
Wheat contains a lot and several different problematic proteins, not just gluten. Rice contains more globulin and less prolamine compared to wheat, rye and barley. This makes polished or white rice, along with a number of other factors, the least problematic grain for those with gastrointestinal problems and weak digestive systems. Wheat contains problematic lectins that bind to the intestinal epithelial cells and prevent the uptake of nutrients. Lectins can also pass through the intestinal epithelium and, through the bloodstream, affect tissues and receptors in other parts of the body in a negative way, such as insulin receptors and probably even leptin receptors. Some lectins are also strong allergens and are also linked to rheumatoid arthritis.
Being able to enjoy tasty pasta after a workout can be absolutely wonderful, but pretty much all the pasta we have found on the market are too unhealthy and are of poor quality. At last, we found a small Italian family business that produces the type of gluten-free organic pasta in the traditional way from exactly the types of flour we want. Our pasta comes from flour that is gluten-free, has a low lectin content and the lowest proportion of anti-nutrients. It is free from corn, soy, dairy products, brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, whole grains, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids. Our pastas are also tested for aflatoxin, herbicides, salmonella, E.coli, cadmium, lead and arsenic. | agronomy |

Understanding Cannabis Plant Lifecycle
To truly foster optimal growth conditions, one must first comprehend the lifecycle of a cannabis plant. It’s not merely about hydration and lighting; the plant’s genetic blueprint and possible diseases also play vital roles.
The genetic framework of cannabis dictates its growth pattern, potency, and resistance to diseases. Each variety possesses a unique genetic structure that influences its growth cycle. By gaining insight into this, you can better predict your plant’s requirements and adjust your care accordingly.
Plant diseases can arrest or significantly affect the lifecycle of a cannabis plant. These may be due to pests, fungi, or bacteria. Diseases can strike at any stage, from seedling to blooming. Early recognition of signs is vital to avert further damage and safeguard the health of your plant.
In essence, you need to comprehend your cannabis plant thoroughly. From its genetic structure to the potential risks it might encounter, understanding these factors can assist you in creating a more favorable environment for growth. It’s not merely about sustaining the plant’s life, but ensuring it flourishes. Remember, the lifecycle of your plant is a journey, and as the cultivator, you’re the guide. By tuning into its needs, you’ll reap the rewards at harvest time.
Kentucky Cannabis Company is here to guide you through this journey.

UNDERSTANDING THE CANNABIS VEGETATIVE GROWTH PHASE
Optimal Conditions for Cannabis Germination
Beginning your journey with Kentucky Cannabis Company, it’s essential to understand the perfect conditions for cannabis germination. The importance of seed selection is paramount. By choosing high-quality seeds, characterized by their hard, dark shell, you’re ensuring your plants get off to the best start possible.
We’ll now delve into the top four conditions vital for successful germination, specially tailored for our Kentucky audience:
- Temperature: Cannabis seeds flourish in temperatures between 70-85°F. If it’s too cold, the seeds may not germinate; too hot, and they might dry out. Keep in mind Kentucky’s weather when setting the temperature.
- Moisture: To germinate, seeds need to stay consistently moist but not waterlogged. A great tip is to use a spray bottle to mist the seeds, ensuring they don’t dry out.
- Darkness: Total darkness is required for seed germination. Any light exposure may disrupt the process.
- Air: Oxygen is necessary for germination. Make sure the medium you’re using is airy and not compacted.
If you encounter hiccups with germination, don’t worry. Troubleshooting germination is part and parcel of the process. Your seeds might take longer to sprout, or they mightn’t sprout at all. If you’re adhering to the suggested conditions and still facing issues, consider the viability of your seeds. Remember, cultivating cannabis requires patience.
With over a decade of cultivation experience, Kentucky Cannabis Company is committed to providing accurate and up-to-date information. Our locally-focused approach emphasizes our Kentucky roots and commitment to the state’s growing cannabis industry. Trust our expertise and experience as you navigate your way through the fascinating world of cannabis cultivation.
WHAT ENHANCES CANNABIS GERMINATION TO FLOWERING STAGES?
Best Environment for Vegetative Stage
As a Kentucky-based company with over a decade of cultivation experience, the Kentucky Cannabis Company is proud to share its expertise on creating the perfect environment for the vegetative stage of cannabis growth. This phase is essential as it’s when the plant experiences the most growth, so it’s vital to get it right.
Lighting plays a pivotal role during this stage. Your cannabis plants need abundant light to photosynthesize effectively and grow robustly. Strive for at least 18 hours of light each day. You can use high-intensity discharge lamps or LED lights, which are known for their efficiency. However, remember to keep a safe distance between your plants and the light source to prevent any potential burning.
As a trusted name in the Kentucky cannabis industry, we also advise careful attention to nutrient management. Your cannabis plants will require increased amounts of nitrogen during the vegetative stage, along with a balanced mix of potassium and phosphorous. Regular feeding with a suitable fertilizer can help deliver these nutrients. But be cautious not to overfeed your plants, as this can lead to nutrient burn.
Temperature and humidity are equally important. We recommend maintaining a temperature range between 70-85°F, and humidity levels of around 40-70%. These conditions will help your plants thrive and build a strong foundation for the flowering stage.
At Kentucky Cannabis Company, we’re committed to providing accurate, up-to-date, and engaging information, making cannabis cultivation manageable and rewarding for everyone in Kentucky, from patients to recreational users and businesses. Whether you’re interested in specific cannabis strains, product types, or the overall cannabis industry in Kentucky, we’ve the expertise and dedication to guide you.
10 BEST TIPS FOR CANNABIS VEGETATIVE GROWTH STAGE
Ideal Conditions for Cannabis Flowering Stage
As Kentucky Cannabis Company expands into the cannabis market, it’s vital to understand how to create the ideal conditions for the flowering stage of your cannabis plant. As a leader in the Kentucky hemp CBD industry, we’re here to share our cultivation expertise.
- Lighting Techniques: As the cannabis plants transition into the flowering stage, adjusting the lighting to a 12/12 cycle becomes crucial. This means providing your plants with 12 hours of light and 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness. This change in light exposure signals the plant to start producing buds, a key step in cannabis cultivation.
- Nutrient Management: Understanding your cannabis plants’ nutrient needs is vital during the flowering stage. In Kentucky, it’s important to reduce nitrogen levels while ramping up the phosphorus and potassium. These nutrients aid in bud development and can significantly enhance the yield, contributing to a more successful harvest.
- Temperature and Humidity: The ideal daytime temperature for your cannabis plants is around 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit, with a slight decrease during the night. Maintaining a relative humidity of about 40-50% is also crucial in the Kentucky climate, helping to prevent the onset of mold and mildew.
- CO2 Levels****: In our Kentucky grow rooms, we find that increasing the CO2 levels can accelerate the flowering process and improve bud growth. However, it’s crucial to be cautious as too much CO2 can be harmful to the plants.
Whether you’re a patient seeking cannabis for medical conditions, an adult interested in recreational use, or a Kentucky-based business looking to partner with us, we hope this information is helpful. As a company rooted in Kentucky, our commitment to quality, adherence to regulations, and knowledge of the state’s unique environment make us a reliable choice for your cannabis needs.
Maintaining Healthy Cannabis Lifecycle
To secure a flourishing and productive cannabis lifecycle for your Kentucky-grown plants, it’s crucial to regularly monitor and make necessary adjustments to the environmental conditions, nutrient levels, and lighting techniques throughout each growth phase. Keep a vigilant eye on your plant’s temperature, humidity, and pH levels. Any substantial fluctuation could potentially harm your Kentucky cannabis plants, disrupting their normal lifecycle.
Applying effective pest management strategies is just as vital. Pests can cause significant damage to your cannabis plants, resulting in stunted growth or even plant death. Make it a routine to inspect your plants for any signs of pest invasion. If you spot anything unusual, swiftly address it using organic pesticides or other eco-friendly solutions.
The importance of nutrient supplementation in the cannabis lifecycle is another aspect you shouldn’t underestimate. Your Kentucky cannabis plants require a range of nutrients to flourish, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Other essential nutrients comprise calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. Adjust nutrient levels in line with the growth stage. For instance, during the vegetative phase, your plants require more nitrogen, but in the flowering stage, they need increased phosphorus.
Lastly, ensure your plants receive the appropriate amount of light. Cannabis plants, particularly those grown in Kentucky’s unique climate, require ample light to photosynthesize effectively. Adjust the light exposure based on the specific growth stage, ensuring your plants receive just what they need to maintain a healthy lifecycle.
For over a decade, Kentucky Cannabis Company has been at the forefront of hemp CBD cultivation.

How Does the Use of Pesticides Affect the Cannabis Plant’s Lifecycle?
Applying pesticides to your cannabis plants can interrupt their natural lifecycle, a fact we’ve learned with over a decade of cultivation experience at Kentucky Cannabis Company. Prolonged use of pesticides can lead to plants developing resistance, making pest control increasingly difficult. This can also lead to reduced quality of the produce, making it less suitable for consumption, whether for medical patients or recreational users in Kentucky.
At Kentucky Cannabis Company, we believe in the benefits of organic alternatives. They’re not only safer for you and the environment, but they also help maintain the plant’s natural growth cycle. Our commitment to quality and adherence to Kentucky regulations ensures we provide the most trustworthy and clean cannabis products.

Our Kentucky roots and commitment to the state’s cannabis industry make us a reliable source for all your cannabis needs.
What Is the Potential Yield of a Single Cannabis Plant?
Just as the old Kentucky saying goes, ‘you reap what you sow.’ This rings true when discussing the potential yield of a single cannabis plant. The yield isn’t a straightforward number, as it’s heavily influenced by factors like your chosen strain and your nutrient management strategies. As well as length of time the plant is held in the vegetative state.
Choosing a strain known for its high yield and supplying it with the right nutrients can significantly boost your harvest. However, without appropriate care and conducive growing conditions, even the most prolific strains mightn’t produce much. So, it all comes down to finding the ideal balance between strain selection, nutrient management, and meticulous care.
Here at Kentucky Cannabis Company, with more than a decade of cultivating experience, we’ve learned the art of balancing these factors perfectly. Whether you’re a patient seeking cannabis for medical conditions and curious about potential benefits of specific strains, an adult interested in recreational cannabis use, or a Kentucky-based business looking to learn more about the state’s burgeoning cannabis industry, our team is here to guide you.
Our knowledgeable and experienced team remains committed to providing accurate, understandable, and up-to-date information about cannabis. Trust in our commitment to quality and strict adherence to Kentucky’s cannabis regulations. Being a locally rooted company, we’re dedicated to supporting and advancing Kentucky’s cannabis industry.
Can Cannabis Plants Be Grown Indoors and How Does It Affect Their Lifecycle?
Yes, the cultivation of cannabis plants indoors is entirely feasible, a technique that’s gaining popularity, known as indoor hydroponics. This method, practiced widely by experts like us at Kentucky Cannabis Company, offers complete control over vital factors such as lighting and temperature, positively impacting the plant’s lifecycle. For a bountiful yield, maintaining optimal light, temperature, and nutrient levels is essential. This control allows us to influence the distinct stages of growth from germination to flowering.
However, bear in mind, managing these conditions necessitates constant vigilance and the right equipment.

While encouraging their growth in the starter pots with nutrition and motivational speaches, I built a trellis out of PVC.
Since transplanting, one of the Cascades has struggled mightily, while the other one has climbed to top of the the 9'± trellis. The Willamettes have both grown steadily and are about 4-5' tall.
I hope to have a big enough harvest for a fresh hop pale ale this fall.

There's a special moment that happens in a vineyard when the grapes start to change colour. They turn from hard and green berries into lush and juicy fruit, with their skins morphing into vivid shades of reds and blacks, yellows and greens.
It marks the beginning of ripening and the march towards harvest, when farmers will pick the grapes and winemakers will perform the magic that turns a humble fruit into a luxurious drink.
In the weeks leading up to harvest, grapes will swell to twice their previous size as vines move sugars into the pulp. In the wild, this would attract animals to eat the berries and spread the seeds but, in the vineyard, it’s the farmer who’s eyeing the fruit. Judging ripeness is part science, part art. Growers measure the grapes’ sugar concentration because it’s the sugars that become alcohol to produce wine.
It’s not all about sugar though; acidity is also assessed to help bring freshness to the finished wine. While gadgets help measure sugars and acids, winemakers and farmers still walk between the vines and taste the grapes, spotting the development of the natural components in the fruit that will become the various aromas and flavours in the glass..
Different winemakers want different levels of ripeness. Trevor Durling at Beaulieu Vineyard and Mark Beringer at his family’s eponymous winery, Beringer, will accumulate more sugars in their Cabernet Sauvignon from California’s Napa Valley than many of their European counterparts to produce richer wines.
Once farmers decide it’s time to pick, the harvest can begin; large, flat areas are harvested using machines, while steep hills require harvesting by hand. For the highest quality wines, many farmers and winemakers prefer to harvest by hand so they can pick the healthiest and ripest grapes to make the finest wines. Some will even pick at night to keep grapes cool until they reach the winery.
Harvest happens at different times according to the vineyard’s location. Federico Cerelli, the chief winemaker at Cavaliere d’Oro, will harvest at various times in Puglia and Sicily in the south of Italy to Tuscany and Veneto in the north, while Sebastien Long at France’s Maison de Grand Esprit will oversee picking at varying rates in Bordeaux and Burgundy to Provence and the Rhône.
While harvest dates and ripeness levels may vary from vineyard to vineyard, farmers across the Northern Hemisphere mostly agree on the ideal harvest conditions. Even if they’ve welcomed rain during ripening to help swell their grapes, they’ll want dry conditions during harvest to allow their pickers or machines to harvest their crop efficiently before the weather turns cooler and wetter.

On November 20, 2017, Yuan Longping returned from the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Commander Tang was the first to visit. When talking with Yuan, he learned in detail about the process of the indica hybrid rice developed by Yuan in 1975 that passed the identification and began to be promoted across the country. Commander Tang had an idea, "Since hybrid rice was only promoted in 1975, and Li Du Sorghum 1955 was brewed with 90% rice + 10% sorghum, why not change the formula and develop Li Du Sorghum 1975?"
On August 11th, Commander Tang brought Li Du Sorghum 1975 to visit Yuan Longping. After listening to the story of Li Du Sorghum 1975's "birth", Yuan Longping was very happy. Because he was deeply impressed that Li Du Sorghum 1955 brewed with "90% rice + 10% sorghum" won the "Brussels International Grand Gold Medal Award" at the EU headquarters, Yuan Longping happily signed "Win the International Gold Award, Yuan Longping" on the Li Du Sorghum 1975 liquor label brought by Commander Tang to express his wishes in nine words.
Li Du Sorghum 1975 was also named to commemorate the large-scale promotion of indica hybrid rice developed by Yuan in 1975! Li Du Sorghum 1975 was awarded the "Top Ten Innovative Brands Affecting China's Liquor Industry in 2017". | agronomy |

Strawberries grown in fields gassed with a carcinogenic fumigant will be the norm on supermarket shelves, unless new California governer Jerry Brown reverses the approval of methyl iodide, a highly reactive chemical, pushed through during the last moments of the Schwarzenegger administration. Giving Brown a strong nudge, a group of farm worker and environmental advocacy groups filed a lawsuit Monday against the state of California to challenge the state's approval of the toxic strawberry pesticide. "Everyone agrees, without exception, that methyl iodide is a very toxic compound. It's very reactive. That means it interacts with living tissue in very toxic ways, causing cell damage and damage to cell structures, DNA, or chromosomes," explains Ted Schettler, MD, MPH, science director at Science and Environmental Health Network. "The upshot is it can cause a lot of health effects, including cancer and damage to tissues that are developing. In animal studies, it killed the fetuses of developing animals exposed by inhalation; fetuses were killed at relatively low doses. Nobody doubts it's a nasty chemical."
Dr. Schettler was among 53 doctors and researchers—including National Academy of Sciences and Nobel laureate researchers—who wrote an open letter to the EPA in 2007 urging them to deny federal approval of methyl iodide, the proposed replacement for methyl bromide, a known ozone depleter. In 2007, the scientists warned: "Alkylating agents like methyl iodide are extraordinarily well-known cancer hazards in the chemical community because of their ability to modify the chemist’s own DNA, as well as the target molecule in the flask, leading to mutations that are potentially very harmful." The warning notes that because of this potential toxicity, chemists who work with this material use the smallest amounts possible, and take great precautions to avoid exposure, and adds, "Because of methyl iodide’s high volatility and water solubility, broad use of this chemical in agriculture will guarantee substantial releases to air, surface waters, and groundwater, and will result in exposures for many people."
THE DETAILS: To the dismay of many of the nation's leading chemists, doctors, and toxicology experts, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved methyl iodide for use in agriculture in 2007 during the 11th hour of the Bush administration, in effect trading an ozone destroyer for a cancer causer. The approval made it legal for farmers to inject the gaseous pesticide into fields in most states prior to planting crops like strawberries, tomatoes, peppers, and grapes. However, Florida, New York, Washington, and California operate under state-based pesticide registration laws. New York and Washington refused to allow the highly reactive chemical in farming, Florida approved it with the stipulation that the manufacturer must monitor air and water quality, and now California is also allowing the chemical. That's significant because the Golden Gate State produces about 90 percent of the strawberries sold in the United States, and many of its strawberry fields border highly populated areas. "It's not uncommon for people's backyards to be up against fields," explains Tracey Brieger, spokeswoman for Californians for Pesticide Reform. She notes that farm workers applying the fumigant, or working near those fields, face the highest exposure risk, along with neighbors' groundwater.
"The danger here, and what we're worried about is, like any other number of chemicals over the last few years, once there's contamination, even if it's possible to clean up, the cost is immense," says Brieger, who notes that taxpayers will be on the hook to foot the bill. "It's astounding that we're considering poisoning the water that we drink. We're saying, 'Why are we even going down this path?'" | agronomy |

I don’t know my plant’s name. It has started getting dry tips of leaves. It’s in the kitchen, I water it approximately once a week, the temperature in the room is around 21-22°C and it is not in direct sunlight.
This is a lovely peace lily. Could you please show me the overall space where the plant lives? I will help you assess the lighting situation more closely.
Could you also please tell me exactly how you water? I’ll do my best to help!
I water it with 60ml of stale water once a week. Here is the overall space:
My guideline for “bright indirect light” is this: put the plant where it can SEE as much of the sky as possible and if the sun will shine directly on the plant for more than 2-3 hours, shield it with a white sheer curtain.
From the place where you’ve put the plant, it cannot see the sky at all. Therefore, it is getting barely any light – do not think of “light” the same as “direct sun”. You should move the plant to be right in front of that window so it can see the sky. If you have a larger window elsewhere, I would move it there.
Once you have moved the plant, the plant is working (doing photosynthesis). When the plant is working, you can water it. Pouring a small amount of water according to a schedule is not the best way to water. Again, given that the plant is now getting the right light, you should check the dryness of the soil every day (I just lift the pot) – once you get accustomed to how quickly water gets used up, you won’t need to check every day. Once it is about half as heavy as when fully soaked, you should fully soak the soil – that is, you water thoroughly and EVENLY and let the excess water drain away. If you let a peace lily’s soil get much drier, it will dramatically wilt. Just give the soil a thorough soaking IMMEDIATELY and it will bounce back – avoid letting it wilt like this.
There is nothing you can do to completely prevent browned tips – this happens to all older leaves on a peace lily. The problem is your light situation was not capable of producing new leaves so that’s why you were noticing that most of your leaves had browned tips.
If you need me to help you with plant placement, feel free to show me your other windows and we can find a better spot for your peace lily!
KEY LEARNING: when people read traditional houseplant care instructions on light, the wording often doesn’t convey the correct meaning. People read “bright indirect light” and interpret that to mean they should absolutely avoid direct sun. But if you hear me saying “put the plant where it has the widest possible view of the sky and, if the sun does shine on the plant for more than 2-3 hours, then block it with a white sheer curtain” – although it’s a mouthful, you won’t make the mistake of thinking you’ve satisfied the requirement of “bright indirect light” by simply placing the plant where there’s no sun. Getting the best possible light (view of the sky) is the prerequisite for houseplants to work!

I’ve been bottling fruit from the hedgerows for various jellies and drinks…I’ve also bottled some colour from a coreopsis plant I bought at my local market.
Here’s my plant along with a large glass jar and some wool fibre I’ve mordanted in alum (10% WOF). Here’s my assistant putting the flowers, yarn and some water in the jar:
I have a small plastic greenhouse and it was a bright sunny day, so we put the jar in the greenhouse to capture some sunshine. In just a few hours the colour was coming out of the flower heads and making a solar dye bath:
I waited until the end of the day – most of the colour had transferred to the fibre. Here it is hanging out on the line:
The colour really is similar to the flowers – that might seem obvious but quite a number of plants I’ve dyed with give surprising colours. This one is a warm peachy yellow/orange. I’m looking forward to spinning it into yarn next, possibly combined with some other colours…I’ll save it until it’s bleak and raining outside and it will remind me that we really did have a lovely warm summer this year. Maybe my sloe gin will be ready by then, too. | agronomy |

Though most of the strawberries are gone, the past few weeks have brought a bountiful harvest of kale, snow peas, and garlic scapes. A garlic scape is the bud of the garlic flower. They are removed before the flower emerges and are a delicious substitute for garlic in many recipes. The scapes are removed before they flower to encourage bigger garlic bulbs!
Much of planting season is over, but sweet potatoes were recently planted, so look forward to a lovely harvest in early fall.
Current harvests include lettuce heads, salad mix, snow peas, kale, garlic scapes, herbs, green beans, and more. Have you ever seen a purple green bean?

Since there are different kinds and categories of sprays ,it means that one only applies the targeted ones according to the area or the place where he or she works, these means that people or firms that are responsible to make sprays may come up in a proper way and make a larger or a wider variety of sprays that may be used in different fields, these makes it easier in that not only one spray may or will be used by everyone and not all sprays play the same roles and these makes it easier for individuals to understand the type of spray that one may need in these field of work and art.
For instance since these as prays are chemicals that have been concentrated and well mixed in the laboratory it means that they play strictly different roles. There are particular sprays that are used for agricultural reasons that makes the plants or the vegetation to grow healthy thus killing the pests and insects that may in one or the other kill or destroy the plants. There are diseases and pests that are fond of attacking the crops so it becomes more easier to target the crops by easily sprayed them.
Sprayers are the machines or the gadgets that are used to produce the targeted chemicals, these means that if you have these machines you will end up making one to improve on speed and time and also it makes one to be able to cover a large number of things that are supposed to be sprayed and it makes it easier to handle the chemicals. There is a lot of more considerations that one should put in mind, especially when one starts using the spray machines, these means that one will be able to save more as one may be expected.
When one has a greater knowledge on these machines and sprayers that are in the chemicals that have been used to combine them and the best method to handle them it becomes more relatable and since one has understood on how it should be operated it becomes more safe for one to apply them. Taking proper precautions is the main thing that has to considered and it makes more easy for one not to be damaged by the chemicals. | agronomy |

It was so astounding to obtain out due to the fact I not only like refreshing herbs and greens for the pasta and do-it-yourself pizzas I make for my spouse and children, but really for every food I cook dinner. When I get it possibly freshly cut or truly developing in a pot, it withers and dies swiftly and pre-minimize is really highly-priced, also natural and organic is my selection but it can also be high-priced. Lately, on the other hand, I located this movie by Home & Back garden on Youtube that demonstrated how to immediately you can improve vegetables and lettuce crops to an almost infinite number of plants in recycled plastic bags so you can have a never-ending meals source. He grows all types of crops on a rooftop yard for quite little to no hard cash outlay. In fact, if you did it for one particular yr using this strategy you could have so substantially foodstuff from your crops, you may possibly by no means have to get any clean salad greens at the grocery store. The bag potting and escalating approaches were being not tricky to stick to at all and you only need a couple resources.
- Potting Soil
- Plastic Grocery Bags
- Seeds (or plant cuttings to start out advancement)
- Drinking water
In the video tutorial, you will study how to switch previous plastic baggage that were being formerly considered as squander into purposeful pots for your new vegetable garden.

However, even after all of that time and energy they still may not have the green yard that they want. There are some common mistakes that homeowners make that prevent them from getting the yard that they want. Here are a couple things you should avoid.
1. Watering Late in the Day
Grass needs water to survive, but that doesn't mean that you can water it any time and expect to see the results that you want. Instead, you need to make sure that you are watering your grass at the right time. You should be watering your grass in the morning when the sun is out, but not hot. If you wait until later in the day the water will evaporate in the heat and so the roots are deprived. If you wait until the evening or nighttime, it might not soak in properly and could leave puddles of water, suffocating your grass throughout the night.
2. Mowing Too Often and Too Low
Mowing plays a big part in the health of your lawn. If you don't mow properly you could encounter serious problems with your grass. This is why it is best if you let the grass grow out a little bit before you mow it. As the grass grows longer the roots will sink deeper and will become healthier and stronger. If you continue mowing the grass too often and keep it too short, it will allow lots of space between the roots and cause them to be shallow. This encourages weeds to grow in between the blades of grass, and prevents the grass from being as healthy as possible.
Instead, when you mow the grass only shave off about 1/3 of the grass and avoid mowing the grass too often. Let it get longer before you shave it off.
3. Not Fertilizing
Fertilizer is an important part to your yard's health. The healthiest and greenest lawns always have an extra boost with their fertilizer. This is why you should fertilize the lawn, and use a weed killer in the spring to help prevent weeds and promote healthy grass growth. If you let the weeds grow and fertilize too late you could have a problem all year long of the weeds taking over the grass. This is why you should do it as early as you can.

My husband and I have a large basement we've never really used. We started storing items in it, and it seemed like such a waste of a large area of our home. We also have a nephew in college in the area who we knew was paying a high price for an apartment he could barely afford. We came up with the idea of turning our basement into a mini-apartment and offering it to him for less than his current rent. He loved the idea, and the renovation was faster than we imagined it would be. We are all so happy it all worked out, and that we had a great basement to help my nephew through college at the same time. I created this blog to encourage others to use their basement for more than just holding boxes. | agronomy |

Plants cannot just use the N-P-K directly, they need the interaction of beneficial microbes and fungi to create a pathway for the nutrients. Sea Green utilizes a complex culture of beneficial soil organisms to free locked nutrients from the soil/water. It increases nutrient uptake by biologically processing available nutrients into bioavailable forms. Plants are also protected from invading pathogens by creating an overwhelming presence of beneficial organisms.

|Why Eat Organically Grown Food?
Just as we are what we eat, fruits and vegetables are what they eat, too. Food labeled "organic" is grown without artificial pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizer. Organic farmers use compost (which is "all natural") and "green" fertilizer to provide nourishment to their crops. Cattle and other livestock raised organically receive neither antibiotics nor growth hormones, and eat feed that is itself raised and harvested on organic farms.
In part because they are locally grown, organic fruits and vegetables contain higher levels of antioxidants than produce grown via other methods. Antioxidants are powerful, health-promoting biochemicals that help prevent a wide variety of diseases, including inflammatory diseases and cancer. Organically grown food not only tastes better but is actually good for you, which of course is what we want our food to be.

Several of the absolute most usual fowl products sold in the USA include poultry as well as turkey. Hen is a vital part of the total chicken creation sector in the USA. They are largely offered as chicken feed as well as are actually additionally brought up on poultry farms. Poultry farms increase poultries for each pork manufacturing as well as eggs. In reality, some of the biggest chicken development facilities are located in Iowa, Minnesota and Texas. pop over to this website
Alternatively, the United States is actually not only the forerunner when it pertains to creation of poultry and cattle, however they are also leading exporters of coffee as well as dark chocolate. Each delicious chocolates and also coffee are preferred all over the world, specifically in the International and also Eastern markets. Development of these agrarian items adds to the United States economy. The U.S. shipped over $60 billion dollars in profits coming from a variety of agrarian activities in the previous year alone.
If you are presuming of starting or increasing an agricultural business of your personal, it is constantly handy to make a see to your local area farming advertising service. You can easily go as well as ask about the existing agrarian creation data for the country. If the final handful of years have seen a significant increase in the development of wheat or grain, you might really want to start looking for wheat or grain inventories to purchase. However, if there has actually been actually a decline in the creation of any kind of certain agricultural product list, you should make certain to call your regional farming development workplace promptly to find if there are actually any sells of that item on call. More about the author
If you wish to make certain that you are actually obtaining the absolute best top quality of meat, pig, sheep or poultry for usage within your very own nation, it is actually best to find a trusted farm source business that will definitely be actually able to provide you with the appropriate volume as well as kind of pet. If you are actually looking for dairy products like milk, cheese, chicken as well as yogurt, you need to guarantee that you are working along with a trustworthy ranch supply business that has created a really good partnership along with an identified and trusted dairy farmer in the location.
Agricultural equipment is actually machinery especially used on a ranch or farming market. There are various kinds of such equipment, from basic palm resources and mechanized power information to the myriad wide arrays of tractors and other farm applies they run or tow.
If you are actually considering to get the appropriate agricultural tools for your farming organization, it is actually significant that you first take in to point to consider the type of farming you are actually involved in. Is it business cultivating like that of strawberries or mostly crops like corn?
One usual type of farm machines used today is the combines. Generally, any work that demands the utilization of agrarian equipment may be actually done a lot better along with the help of combines.
The following type of tools we are actually going to discuss are actually tractors. Not only are they made use of for tilling the land, however they also are the main devices utilized for planting many of the foodstuff we understand today, such as wheat, barley, corn, cotton, and others. The majority of the meals our team eat is developed along with the support of tractors. In addition to these typical jobs, tractors may likewise be made use of to decide on, pack, as well as ship grain.
The next thing our experts’re mosting likely to cover are the a variety of types of agricultural machines made use of for ranching cattle. If you have a cattle ranch, then you probably recognize that these animals include market value to your farming procedure. Not just perform they give dairy as well as pork, but they benefit feeding the ground. As a result, you’ll earn a lot additional funds when you look after your livestock effectively. There are actually different kinds of livestock in several measurements, however the goal is constantly the same: produce high quality beef, livestock, as well as other animals products that will definitely offer you constant incomes.
When it happens to supplying your ranch’s creatures, the ideal agrarian devices will definitely guarantee that your pets stay satisfied as well as well-balanced. In addition to delivering beds, these gadgets likewise keep the feces of the creatures tidy so you do not have to do as a lot cleaning up after they are actually performed eating.
Grain dealing with devices is actually one more essential part of the farming equipment in this category are utilized for gathering grain coming from the property. No concern what you require for your tractor for, there’s a piece of equipment out certainly there that will definitely create the procedure much easier as well as faster.

[J R Wilson;] -- This proceedings has three parts. Part one deals with nitrogen transformation processes (nitrogen fixation, the role of soil fauna, ammonia losses), part two describes the nitrogen cycle in.
Agro-ecosystems have developed from mixed- and multiple-cropping systems with relatively closed N cycles to intensively managed monocultures with large N inputs in the form of commercial fertilizers. Cultivation of increasingly larger areas of land has resulted in substantial losses of soil organic matter and N.
Also, the move from slash and burn agriculture to intensively ploughed Cited by: Nitrogen Cycling in Ecosystems In order to have a firm understanding of how nitrogen impacts our ecosystems, it is important that students fully understand how the various forms of nitrogen cycle through the environment.
The nitrogen cycle is most often introduced as a part of the biogeochemical paper or in their lab book. These questions. This closed pattern of nitrogen cycling contrasts with the more “ open ” cycles of agricultural systems subjected to fertilizer nitrogen inputs. It also differs from the open cycles of many wetland, freshwater, and marine ecosystems in which inputs from surrounding landscapes, biological nitrogen-fixation, or upwelling bottom waters.
Nitrogen may well be the most studied nutrient in agricultural systems, but how well do we understand it and apply that knowledge. In Nitrogen in Agricultural Systems new research tools and advanced management concepts are presented from a holistic perspective that emphasizes the complexity of the nitrogen cycle in the soil-plant-water system.
Fundamentals of Ecosystem Science provides a compact and comprehensive introduction to modern ecosystem science. This book covers major concepts of ecosystem science, biogeochemistry, and energetics. It addresses, contrasts, and compares both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

This book reviews the most recent advances in spatial-temporal trends in connection with anthropogenic N emissions and N deposition, as well as their contribution to air pollution and impacts on various ecosystems, including forest, grassland, desert, cropland and marine ecosystems in China.
Biological nitrogen fixation has essential role in N cycle in global ecosystem. Several types of nitrogen fixing bacteria are recognized: the free-living bacteria in soil or water; symbiotic bacteria making root nodules in legumes or non-legumes; associative nitrogen fixing bacteria that resides outside the plant roots and provides fixed nitrogen to the plants; endophytic nitrogen fixing Cited by: 5.
Human activities impact the environment and modify the cycles of important elements such as carbon and nitrogen from local to global scales. In order to maintain long-term and sustainable use of the world's natural resources it is important that we understand how and why ecosystems respond to such by: This book provides a comprehensive overview of grassland ecosystems based on publications by Chinese scholars.
It offers an up-to-date review of the recent advances in grassland research in China, discusses the climatic and physical conditions governing the grasslands, describes their types and distribution, and introduces a new classification scheme for grassland ecosystems.
Climatic conditions shift gradually over millennia, altering the rates at which carbon (C) is fixed from the atmosphere and stored in the soil. However, legacy impacts of past climates on current soil C stocks are poorly understood.

" Medicinally and nutritionally, sprouts have a long history as a "health" food. Sprouts are 10 to 30 times more nutritious than the best vegetables because they are baby plants in their prime. At this stage of their growth they have the greatest concentration of nutrients then at any other pert in their life. Sprouts are highly digestible and release their nutrients easily due to their delicate cell walls and abundance of enzymes. "
Brian Hetrich takes us step by step through the sprouting experience pulling from his many years as an educator, Master Grower, and raw food chef.

Do you need to cut wildflower areas at all?
Yes, they will be cut once a year at the end of the growing season and all the arisings will be collected. This allows the plant to flower and allows time for the seed to be shed.
Can I suggest an area for wildflower planting?
Yes. Any suggestions received this year will be considered for the 2022 season as areas need to be planned well in advance to ensure success, and allow officers time to make any adjustments throughout the season as these areas are developed. Please note that due to the anticipated volume, we will not be able to respond individually to suggestions due to the potential number received. Please email [email protected]/
Can I suggest an area for long grass?
Yes. Please note that due to the anticipated volume, we will not be able to respond to suggestions directly but please email [email protected] and leave your contact details, so that we can contact you if any further information is needed.
Is there any advice on how I can create my own wildflower area?
Yes, the Wildlife Trusts have some useful instructions.
Can I plant my own wildflower seeds on SHBC land?
We would ask that you do not plant seeds on SHBC land.
Any planted areas that are not agreed in advance with the authority will not be maintained as such and will continue to be cut as scheduled. This can lead to disappointment when the planted areas are cut. However as we are working to a large scale, the contractors are only able to maintain areas that are agreed with SHBC and subsequently mapped on our GIS system.
Will these longer areas of grass and/or wildflowers create a fire hazard?
No. The areas are carefully risk assessed. We have liaised with Surrey Fire and Rescue Service wildfire officers to ensure we are not creating a fire hazard. SFRS are happy with our proposals and we are following their advice on inserting breaks where appropriate. Only areas that are suitable for long grass/wildflowers will be used and natural breaks will be designed into any larger areas where the grass is left long.
What seed mixes are you using and why?
We will be choosing an appropriate native seed mix for the environment and the soil type.
For the proposed areas this year, the seed mix will include species such as Yarrow, Kidney Vetch, Common Knapweed, Wild Carrot and Oxeye Daisy.
Can we have poppies please?
If you have suggestions for particular species to be included in any particular areas please suggest them via [email protected]. Unfortunately we cannot respond to each suggestion individually but all suggestions will be considered. | agronomy |

As the days heat up, so do the breeding of fleas, ticks and spiders. While pests breed all year long, the warmer weather causes a major population boom. It is important to protect your pets as well as your family from these little pests.
The Greener Side Lawn Care will treat the entire lawn area and outside perimeter of your home to help control these critters with an initial treatment followed up with a second treatment within 10 -20 days to kill any newly hatched eggs. This two-step program comes with a six week guarantee.
For more aggressive treatment we also offer a five step program applied every 6 weeks.
Grub worms are the larvae of the June beetle. They can create serious damage to your turf if left untreated. Grubs are most destructive during the mid to late summer and into the fall. If you have grubs you will notice uneven patches of grass that are brown or grayish in color, that will typically peel back when pulling on grass.
The Greener Side treats for grub worms in mid-May through early July. The timing of treatment is critical as the larvae will be closest to the surface allowing the one-time treatment to be most effective.
When we aerate your lawn, we use a machine that makes holes that are about 1 inch in diameter and at least 2 inches deep in the surface of your lawn. This increases oxygen and moisture penetration and reduces soil compaction.
Lawn aeration benefits the lawn by enabling air, water, and nutrients direct access to the root system. This promotes deeper root growth.
Many lawns in Oklahoma would benefit from one aeration every one to two years to improve the movement of air and water into the root zone.
What are the benefits of aeration?
Most common to Oklahoma is the Southern Mole Cricket. They burrow in your yard and tunnel underneath your turf leaving small piles of dirt around your yard as they feed on the roots of your grass.
The Greener Side Lawn Care treats for Mole Crickets in mid to late July when they are at their peek of feeding. | agronomy |

The Yellow Frangipani, also known as Plumeria obtusa, is a tropical plant that produces stunningly beautiful and fragrant flowers. The flowers of this plant are typically a pale, creamy yellow color and have a distinctive five-petal shape. The yellow frangipani is a popular plant in tropical gardens and is often used in landscaping and as an ornamental plant. It is also a common plant used in traditional Hawaiian leis and other floral arrangements. The plant requires full sun and well-drained soil, and it can be grown in a container or in the ground. The yellow frangipani is a low-maintenance plant that blooms profusely during the summer months, making it a popular choice for gardeners looking to add some tropical flair to their landscapes.
HOW TO PLANT OUR CUTTINGS:
1. Fill a pot with a well-draining potting mix and insert the cutting about 10 cm deep into the soil. Water the cutting lightly to settle the soil.
2. Place the pot in a warm, sunny location, but protect it from direct sunlight for the first few weeks.
3. Water the cutting sparingly, only when the soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot and kill the cutting.
4. Once the cutting has developed roots and new growth, it can be transplanted to its permanent location in a well-drained soil and a sunny location.
By following these simple steps, you can successfully plant frangipani cuttings and enjoy the beauty and fragrance of these lovely plants in your garden. | agronomy |

India is an agrarian country with more than half of the population depends on agriculture sectors, Share of agriculture in country GDP is 16% of total and GDP From Agriculture in India decreased to 4546.58 INR Billion in the second quarter of 2020 from 5306.26 INR Billion in the first quarter of 2020. Farmers depend on rains for crops to grow as precipitation is less from the past few years. Govt of India has implemented many schemes to improve the margin of farmers by providing MSP for the crop and providing insurance to the crops and distributing seeds and fertilizers to them. Even doing so only some are benefiting from it. Recently in Parliament 3 farm bills have passed, they are
The three bills are
- Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020
- Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020
- Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill, 2020
Highlights of Farm Bill 2020
1.Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020
- To build an ecosystem where farmers and traders enjoy the liberty to market and buy farm produce outside registered ‘mandis’ understates’ Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC).
- To support the inter-state and intra-state sale of farmers’ crop
- To lower the marketing and transportation costs and help the farmers in getting more favourable rates
- To implement methods for E-commerce
- Mandis which are registered under APMC markets under state government going to lose the revenue which is collected in the form fees from mandi
- Small and brokers in the mandi going to lose the jobs if implemented
- The MSP system may be going to eventually end if passed.
- e-NAM which uses physical ‘mandi’ going to be neglected as there is no trading.
2.Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020
- Farmers can make deals with exporters, wholesalers, retailers and agrotech to sell their crop before harvest at pre-agreed prices.
- Farmers who are having land less than 5 hectares are going to benefit from aggregation and contract as these farmers account to 86% of farmers in India.
- To shift the uncertainty of market from farmers to sponsors
- To facilitate farmers to reach modern technology and educate them
- To lessen the expense of marketing and hike the farmer’s earnings.
- Farmers can join straight in marketing by excluding agents for complete price.
- Farmers don’t have adequate knowledge of contracts and how to process, they may not be aware of terms and conditions.
- Farmers will be on the lower end when a dispute arises in the contract as he cannot afford the legal system
- Big companies may not want to do business with small and marginal farmers
3.Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill, 2020
- Cereals, pulses, oilseeds, onion and potatoes were excluded from the list of essential commodities. The imposition on stockholding will be implemented only in national emergency likes War
- FDI and private sector investments in the farming sector is going to increase as it removes the inference of regulating bodies to do business
- Storage and modern supply systems can be improved by the grant obtained from the bill.
- price stability is obtained for both farmer and consumer
- It builds an aggressive market environment which reduces the wastage of farm produce.
- Prices of the commodities will be in the hands of big companies as they can manage the stocks
- Farmers are going to get less price if the produce is more in the markets as big companies dictate the price.
- The recent decision on export ban on onion builds doubt on its implementation.
How graduates can help farmers day to day challenges with innovation and technology
AgriBazaar As a full-stack agritech player, AgriBazaar has replicated the physical mandi (marketplace) to an e-mandi aggregator model
Crofarm Farm-to-retail agritech startup Crofarm recently launched its social commerce venture OTIPY, to revolutionise the supply chain of fresh produce in India.

This amazing season helps us to grow some of the most delicious produce that can make your breakfast, lunch and dinner pop with natural flavour and nutrients.
Here are some great spring recipe ideas that make the most of the season’s produce.
Breakfast bowls and smoothies
Spring is the season when some amazing fruits such as bananas, strawberries, blueberries and grapefruit are easily available in our shops and many other vegetables and fruit can be grown at home. Putting a handful of each along with some organic yoghurt and milk (of any variety) into a blender will create a great on-the-go breakfast for those of us with busy schedules. A colourful breakfast bowl with some soaked or toasted oats, cinnamon, yoghurt and fresh mandarin, banana and berries will help to keep you full and energetic for the day.
Salads and Stir Fry
Fresh avocado, capsicum, celery, cucumber, tomato and spinach are all available in abundance and all of these and more are the base of a great salad bowl with the addition of proteins such as egg, chicken or salmon to bring it all together. Stir fry is also a great way to pack a bunch of healthy ingredients into one amazing dish with spring beans, onion, zucchini, leek and mushrooms. You can add any flavour to a stir fry base with Soya, Fish, and Oyster sauce. Honey, or peanut butter will all help you to develop amazing flavours with some rice, noodles, or any other carbohydrate.
Vegetable bakes and roasts
Weeknight dinners are best when they're quick, easy, and fulfilling! Turning a typical lasagne into a smorgasbord of spring vegetables and flavour is a great way to get your fill of healthy produce. You can even replace the lasagne sheets with sliced eggplant if you're watching your carbohydrate intake. Adding egg and flour to the mix instead of lasagne sheets can also produce a great vegetable bake that refrigerates and reheats well. | agronomy |

Veritas is the best product on the market for consumers who care about product quality and consistency.
Veritas started growing cannabis when it was first legalized in 2009, and in this time have learned a great deal about the best methods for producing and the best strains for any number of uses. To our team, cannabis is a personal experience that can be used to accentuate the best parts of life. We genuinely believe that great cannabis makes the good times higher.
In 2014, they were awarded the first wholesale-only grow license in the state of Colorado, at which time they started construction on a 12,500-square-foot grow facility.
Their facility represents the knowledge gained from this labor of love and is ideally suited to allow them to continue growing the most consistent, beautiful, and best-tasting recreational cannabis in the state. Having experienced high demand when sold through white-labeling, in the summer of 2016, Veritas began an expansion that will eventually double the size of their grow – allowing them to provide the entire state with their unique top-shelf flower.
“Most exciting of all, beginning in July 2016, our product is being sold as Veritas, the Latin word for truth, at dispensaries across the state…”
With their proprietary genetics and a commitment to doing things the hard way, one plant and one day at a time, customers from around the world can purchase a consistent product that behaves as advertised, all while enjoying their own unique Colorado experience.
Because of this commitment, Veritas Fine Cannabis is hand-crafted throughout growth and production.
- The Seed
- The Cure
- The Trim
At Veritas, they are constantly cultivating new and exciting seasonal strains while maintaining their heirloom offerings. They currently offer 10 strains of gourmet cannabis, with seasonal additions procured to highlight Colorado’s unique activities throughout the year. Each strain is labeled according to its look, smell, taste, and effect and will include THC/CBD content as well as other cannabinoids, verified by independent testing.

Light affects the circadian system via both photoreceptors, such as phytochromes and cryptochromes, and sugar production by photosynthesis. In the present study, we introduce a constitutively active version of phytochrome B-Y276H (YHB) into both wild-type and phytochrome null backgrounds of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) to distinguish the effects of photoreceptor signaling on clock function from those of photosynthesis. We find that the YHB mutation is sufficient to phenocopy red light input into the circadian mechanism and to sustain robust rhythms in steady-state mRNA levels even in plants grown without light or exogenous sugars. The pace of the clock is insensitive to light intensity in YHB plants, indicating that light input to the clock is constitutively activated by this allele. Mutation of YHB so that it is retained in the cytoplasm abrogates its effects on clock function, indicating that nuclear localization of phytochrome is necessary for its clock regulatory activity. We also demonstrate a role for phytochrome C as part of the red light sensing network that modulates phytochrome B signaling input into the circadian system. Our findings indicate that phytochrome signaling in the nucleus plays a critical role in sustaining robust clock function under red light, even in the absence of photosynthesis or exogenous sources of energy. | agronomy |

Find out what's on via the links below so you can plan your visit. You might need to spend two or three days to see and do it all though!
Agriculture is one of the largest industries in our region, and touches so many livelihoods and careers, so it is important that students are made aware of the opportunities in this sector so that we can keep agriculture thriving for generations to come. In 2021, the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association commissioned a series of videos exploring the different areas and careers that are influential in food and farming. We spoke to some of the top young people in their field so that they could give us a snapshot of their everyday lives.
Do you think any of these careers could spark interest in your students?

Our trial shows one full row of tree plantings at a spacing of 3 meters per tree. We worked our trial from the middle out.
To the left we fertilised with our normal 10-14 day liquid fertilizer program, which is run through a drip-fed irrigation system. To the right we fertilised with Worm Hit Bricks. We used half a Worm Hit Brick (500g) per tree. We applied the brick at root level, placed beside the root ball. It was an easy application process. The same amount of water was applied to the both rows.
The first notable difference was with the tree height and trunk calliper. The next notable difference was in foliage growth and tree density. The Worm Hit fed trees appear to be a year in growth ahead of the irrigated trees.
Should this trial have been for plant sales, the financial benefits would be of great impact.
We strongly recommend Worm Hit Bricks to all our growers for stronger, faster and healthier tree growth and we proudly display our trial to all our growers.
Thanks for the opportunity to run this trial.

I decided to write about bananas after spending two weeks in north Queensland, where 94% of the fruit is grown. I had also recently learned of the re-emergence of Panama disease, coined ‘Bananageddon’ by some droll headline writer.
The threat of disease not withstanding, Australian banana growers have to live through the annual cyclone season and its potential for destruction. In March, the north’s most visible politician, Bob Katter, was clamouring for Federal intervention to help bale out growers devastated by Cyclone Niran.
While North Queensland provided the best growing conditions for bananas, the tropical fruit is always under threat when cyclonic winds blow. The North Queensland Register’s Ben Harden reported up to 100% losses in the Boogan and Wangan districts near Innisfail. There were 20% to 100% losses along the Cassowary Coast, where most of Australia’s bananas are grown. Katter, the member for Kennedy, as usual got himself front and centre in a press photo taken on a farm wiped out by Niran’s wind gusts (between 205kmh and 265kmh).
Katter has pledged his support behind North Queensland farmers with crops worth $200m knocked out by Cyclone Niran. He said the government should look at crop and livestock insurance funded by a 1% levy on farmers.
“It would make the recovery from these events a lot easier, and we could rebound quicker.“
Some banana-growing areas were left untouched, as we discovered when visiting Lakeland south-west of Cooktown.
Lakeland’s rich volcanic soil and mild climate is ideal for growing bananas, plantations of which can be seen along both sides of the Kennedy Development Road between Lakeland and Laura.
We picked up a bird-watching map from Cooktown which identified Lakeland Honey Dam as a location to see water birds. We set off at sunset, only to find a gate with a banana farm sign forbidding entry due to biological risks. So we did not venture further; but if we had, we might have spotted corellas, egrets, herons, brolgas, sarus cranes, square-tailed kites and more.
Turns out the dam is on private property and banana farmers tend to be risk-averse about biological diseases and for good reason. Growers are twitchy about people bringing in banana plants or suckers from New South Wales in particular. In short, they do not want to add bunchy top to the list of issues that face banana growers. Trumping bunchy top though, is the re-emergence of Panama disease, which all but rendered the global banana industry extinct in the 1950s.
Stuart Thompson, Senior Lecturer in Plant Biochemistry, University of Westminster, wrote a lengthy article for The Conversation on this topic.He described the attempts to save the banana and the industry that produces the fruit. Scientists are now in a race to create a new plant resistant to Panama disease.
In the 1950s, a condition known as Fusarium wilt or Panama disease was wiping out whole plantations in the world’s major banana-producing countries of Latin America.
“It threatened an industry so important to this part of the world that some States had became known as Banana Republics because they were virtually governed by the corporations that produced the crop.”
Luckily, banana companies realised that another variety of banana, the Cavendish, was almost completely resistant to Panama disease. It rapidly replaced the Gros Michel (Big Mike) type which had prevailed until that time. The Cavendish rescued the industry and by the 21st century, 99% of exported bananas and almost half of world production is of the Cavendish variety.
“But this strength has now become the banana industry’s greatest vulnerability. Panama disease has returned, and this time the Cavendish is not resistant,” Thompson wrote.
While the Federal Budget managed to find $371 million for ‘biosecurity measures’, they were more focused on prevention of African swine fever and foot and mouth disease. So it falls to State governments to address their own biosecurity challenges. The Queensland Government stumped up $10 million in 2015-2016 to investigate the re-emerging Panama disease tropical race 4 (TR4). Biosecurity Queensland launched a surveillance programme to detect the presence of the soil-borne fungal disease after it was detected at north Queensland farms.
While that battle is being fought (and once again raising questions about the risks of monoculture), just how important is the banana to Australian consumers and the economy?
The Australian Banana Growers Council (ABGC) is a font of knowledge about all things banana, including the incredible statistic that we consume 16 kg per head per year.
I extrapolated that figure, assuming that the average (four person) household consumes over 1kg (seven bananas) per week.
If you prefer Lady Fingers, you are in a minority, as 97% of bananas grown in Australia are off the Cavendish variety. Growers sold 388,000 tonnes of bananas in 2017-2018 (valued at $587m). The ABGC estimates the industry contributes $1.3 billion to the economy.
For all that, there’s not much protection for growers whose crops are wiped out by cyclones or other weather events, not to mention the incursion of a disease like TR4, which cannot be eradicated.
Nonetheless, banana growers keep up the supply of this popular fruit, with harvesting activity occurring as we drove by. Despite Queensland’s dominant market position, the ABGC’s statistics note a growing contribution to the annual banana production from Western Australia (6,800 tonnes), most of the crops grown around Carnarvon and in the irrigated fields around Kununurra.
Some 15,000 tonnes were grown in New South Wales, around Coffs Harbour and northern NSW where rainfall is plentiful.
We used to grow bananas on our half acre at Maleny. They were tall trees which were quite often raided by Brush Turkeys. They’d clumsily fly to the tops of the trees and partially eat out the green bunches. Our yield was better once we planted dwarf bananas closer to the house. They key is to bag the bunches before they ripen. One you cut a bunch, hang it from a rafter with a bag around it to keep vermin out. Growing bananas in much of Queensland is not hard. There’s a bit of work involved, chipping weeds and thinning out the plantation until you have the desired groups of three at various stages of growth.
We travel a bit and unfortunately, bananas are not good travellers. We bought a half-green bunch on Monday and by Tuesday they were ripe enough to eat.

Shame about the endless drone of the lawnmowers but hey, you win some you lose some.
What Should We Be Doing?
Its a busy time and there’s plenty to do so in no particular order of importance:
Go over your lawn looking for daisies and dandelions that are beginning to grow and dig them out.
Check your composting bin – if you have one – we want to recycle as much of the garden and kitchen waste as possible.
Plant out any container grown roses and shrubs.
Tie-up new growth of any climbing plants.
Fork compost into your flower beds to prepare them for summer bedding.
Sow seeds of the following: beetroot, lettuce, salad leaves, watercress and rocket.
Open up the greenhouse and ensure the temperature controls are working. Bring your strawberries in there while you are at it.
So that little lot should keep you out in the fresh air for a while, more to come later in the month, until then; have fun out there.
Jobs to be done in the Garden
Lawns have had a hard time this year and we would recommend a little TLC for the lawns, hollow tining, weed and feed, and if moss is a problem a treatment and a light scarify, this maybe better left for the Spring, but why not book it in now?
Garden furniture needs to be moved undercover and if it is wood this needs to be a dry store if at all possible. We offer a collection, clean and return service for all types of garden furniture.
Winter Pruning, this is a great time to cut back borders that have become overgrown or just cutting back a few unruly shrubs that have taken over and are hiding other shrubs, obviously leaving things like the Buddleia until the Spring is much nearer.
Paths and Pavement
Pressure washing of paved areas and paths to remove lichens and algae’s that can make them very slippery.
Servicing of lawn mowers, strimmers, hedge cutters, secateurs, garden shears etc are all things that we have been doing for all our tools and we also offer this service to our Regular Clients. We have workshop space available in December and early 2013. | agronomy |

At this point, lets propose that the vast majority of people, and possibly people reading this, know that organics are more expensive and… maybe better for people? They don’t really know, but its offered and it trends on social media every few weeks.
From a producer standpoint, organic plays out in a very specific way. First, how you plan your farm. If you want the high dollar organic prices when you sell your food, you must first bring in seeds that are organic, which cost more because the seed companies are also using organic standards. You must stick to regulated nutrient applications, which often means not using manure, which means relying on crop rotations of nitrogen fixing plants, green manures, fallow field designs (leaving land unused for it to rest) and compost. I can tell you from experience that it’s a lot of work. If you meet a farmer who’s good at organics, your meeting an incredibly skilled person, I assure you that you should be really impressed.
For use of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides, organics get very muddy. All but the absolute best and skilled farmers, working the most pristine land are going to have to use additives to keep their farms in business. When I think of spring farming, I think of asparagus. If you’ve ever grown asparagus, and had an asparagus beetle invasion, you know extreme disappointment. Again, if you’re a brilliant farmer, and a lucky one, you’ve planned your farm to prevent insect invasion and you have little to no insect problems. That is uncommon to say the least. For everyone else, once you have a crop with an insect problem, you have a really quick decision to make, do nothing and look at losing something like 50-90% of your crops, or spray with something that’s going to get rid of those insects. At this point, the difference between organic sprays and non-organic sprays is dubious. You’re really looking at picking chemicals from column a (organics) and avoiding column b (conventional). When you eat something organic, that does not mean you’re eating chemical free, or safe chemicals, it means you’re eating something that has been grown using non-synthetic chemicals. Chemicals derived from natural sources can also be very harmful.
It gets even more inscrutable when you consider the very large growers, whose agricultural practices are by and large destructive and terrible, and who are carrying the organic banner. When you buy something from Dole or Driscoli or Grimway, your buying mass produced products, and once you’ve worked in mass production, any sense of natural is obliterated regardless of the words used to describe it.
When you buy a container of strawberries, think about this: you are interacting with shelf space, and the grocery store has mandated that the shelf space never be empty. That puts an insane amount of pressure on the distributor of those strawberries to never run out, or they will lose that shelf space to a competitor and potentially huge amounts of marketing advantage that comes from being in the produce section in front of you. Something grown in nature cannot be guaranteed to be there, and thus those companies have to put artificial processes in place to continually provide organic produce, year round. Those artificial processes may be not offensive, and may not cause you any harm, but they have to hug the line of organic regulations as closely as possible, making the law the only important consideration not some sense of health and well being.
All that is to say that organics in the practical sense that the vast majority of consumers interface with it, is about little more than money generally, and profits specifically. Ironically, it is in forcing large corporations to marginally improve their behavior that the organic label has its greatest impact. That is likely cold comfort for the people who consume it most enthusiastically.
Conversely, the dangers of organic produce are significantly greater than that of conventional produce, although this shows up much more as raw ingredients in processed foods rather than in produce.
The locally grown organic (and conventionally grown) produce you buy at the closest farmer’s market may very well be more nutritious, and safer than conventional produce at the grocery store. But I find it very hard to believe that the mass-produced organic produce is significantly different in nutrient composition than the non-organic. What is different are rules I mentioned at the beginning of the article. Mass-produced organics have very strigent rules on what inputs can be used on heavily worked fields, and those shelf space demands of grocery store chains means the fallow fields and green manure crops are going to be pushed out in place of the organic versions of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides, many of which are of dubious value. Beyond that, practices like chemical treatment before getting to the store are limited.
You may not realize it, but most or all of the produce you buy is treated with chemicals to either sterilize or force ripening. Organic produce cannot undergo these processes in the way that conventional fruits and vegetables can.
The safest thing to eat from a food safety standpoint are food replacement chemicals, the very kind prohibited by organic regulation, and the very ingredients those who buy organic want to avoid. That is a very unsatisfying realization from an ideological perspective, and its not advice that I personally subscribe to. I eat organic whenever I can, and I try hard to avoid food replacers each meal. | agronomy |

It consists of feeding system, pre-cleaner, post-treatment system, cyclone dust separator, bucket elevator, feeder, etc. We are fully aware that we need high quality equipment to guarantee the top quality of our products in order to meet our customers’ high expectations.
The unique and patented LAW dryer is characterized by its simple, secure and reliable operation, which ensures a good quality final product with regular moisture content.
The essential condition of a good quality product is cleanliness. Proper cleaning has a great influence on the market price of the product. The MAROT seed-cleaners and classification machines sort out the broken seeds and rough dirt from the cereal, sunflower and maize. With the help of the classifying system we can supply our customers with grains that have the same shape.
Thanks to continuous development our plant is able to store a larger and larger quantity of cereals and other goods. Our European-level warehouses were built in different styles. Some of them are closed, built-in storage rooms, but we also have the capacity for open-air storage with paving, which is perfect for storing products in Big Bags.
The loading and unloading of cereals or other products is accomplished by mobile instruments. The weight of the product is measured on an accredited scale.
We provide several types of packing (Big Bags, paper sacks). Agricultural produce is available in 700-1000 kg Big Bags. The paper sacks capacity is 15-30 kg. If it is requested sacks can be labeled.
The packaging is carried out according to written packaging regulations for international forwarding.
Our premises are just 5 km far from a port on the Danube, therefore we are able to accept track-boats. If it is required by the customer, we can ensure the loading and unloading from the track-boat to the warehouse and vice versa.
Rye Island is one of the richest parts of Slovakia. There are high quality arable lands. In order to grow good quality plants the land needs maintenance all year round.
Our company is able to ensure the complete cultivation of the soil. We have a modern machine park and our goal is to supply our customers with high quality services from plowing to harvesting. The soil will appreciate it.
We have eight lorries in our possession that allows us to deliver products not only throughout the whole country but all over Europe as well. We use our lorries to transport goods mainly to our own customers. In this way we can guarantee complete flexibility. Our goal is to store our customers’ products on our premises and continuously deliver them the required quantity. For this reason it is essential to keep exact deadlines. | agronomy |

Mostly, this topic will be very interesting for the garden owner. Well, gardening is the best way of spending time. We must say that you can spend quality time in your garden. Many people also like to have plants in their house by using modern plant hangers.
Indeed, you will be able to refresh yourself after taking care of a garden. However, there are many things that you have to take care of in your garden in the right way. We often notice that many people think they will just put the seed and pour the water.
After that, the plants will grow automatically, giving the fruits. But it is not a true concept. Rather you have to take care of each plant. And, of course, you have to ensure proper care. After that, you may hope that you will get the best result.

Do people stumble on the new discoveries? At times they really do. Most of the times discoveries are generally made through proper research that will involve several years of work and commitment.
But, what research has done for you & agriculture? The research has actually altered our living in many different ways. Standard of living that we enjoy right now is higher than what it was for our earlier generations. Many new discoveries may continue to happen, and it’s expected that the future generations may have higher standards of living.
It’s estimated that amount of the knowledge that humans have doubles in seven months. Thus, in seven months time, our society may have more knowledge of this world around us. The new scientific knowledge is applied to the technologies that are an outcome as well as application of the scientific principles and concepts.
Agriculture and farming, is a simplification of the nature’s food webs & rechanneling of the energy for animal consumption and human planting. To further simplify it for you, agriculture generally involves redirecting the natural flow of food web.
Thus natural the food web flow is- sun offers light to the plants. And plants convert this sunlight in sugars that offer food for plants (process called as photosynthesis). Plants offer food for the herbivores (animals eating plants) and herbivores offer food for carnivores (animals eating meat). Decomposers and bacteria, break down the plants and animals that are died. The nutrients from these animals and plants go back in the soil and entire process begins fresh.
What happens with the agriculture is this web gets interrupted. Rather than having herbivores to eat plants, plants get protected for the human consumption. It means that not just are the plant eating animals getting excluded from their food web, but even carnivorous animals and decomposers. But, if the farmer is planting the corn to feed cattle, these cattle eat corn to live and fatten up and are slaughtered for the human consumption. Although herbivore is eating plant (corn) web gets interrupted when cow gets killed for the human consumption.
Learn the Beginnings
Many people place beginnings of the formal agricultural research over late 18th century to mid-19th century. The relatively long phase was actually caused by many different factors. Firstly, most of the basic sciences were done in the early developmental stage. Actually, early scientists were highly trained chemists who applied their skills and abilities to the food production. Next, governments were quite reluctant to offer funding for the agricultural research.
Why’s Research Important?
Agriculture research is very important to know which treatments work right. This plays a very important role to discover new methods, and ensuring we make use of existing methods in a best way possible. Research will find various answers to the things, which are unknown and filling gaps in the knowledge as well as changing in a way this system work. Thus, it is very important that we look into detail and get more knowledge. | agronomy |

Daw Than Than Swe, Chair of the said association has been cited as saying" We want to export to the US market, which is the biggest market globally. Even if the numbers are quite small, we are sure of getting high prices. Should they allow it, we are ready on our side and they( the representatives) has promised to report the matter to the responsible Departments( in the US)."
On August 13th, a delegation led by the US Economics Consul for Asia arrived in Mandalay and discussions were held with the Mandalay FCCI members. The potential export of Myanmar mangoes was one of the point’s discussed.
The US is the world's largest mango importer and Myanmar ranks number 6 on Asia's top mango exporters(including illegal trade as well). Currently, the majority of Myanmar mangoes are exported to China and Singapore and border trade with China accounts for 90% of the trade.
In Myanmar, Mandalay and Sagaing Divisions as well as the Shan State are the leading mango growing regions with Mandalay and Kyaukse provinces being the major locales, according to the Ministry of Trade and Commerce.
The number of mango exports has been rising steadily since 2010 and SeinTaLone, Hinthar and YinGwe and the major varieties exported. During the fiscal year 2013-14, more than 45,000 tons of mangos were exported and earnings amount to more than USD 24 million. (Quoted by the Ministry of Trade and Commerce) | agronomy |

“We chose H.C Valentine because it is an award-winning coffee company that uses only 100 percent organic and sustainably-farmed coffee beans. It is the perfect addition to our menu at the Flying Biscuit, which will have some exciting new items in the coming months.”
Cold brew coffee does not go through the normal roasting process, instead it is steeped for 20 hours, providing a unique flavor. The process circumvents some of the acidity that is found in hot coffee, making it easier to taste the other flavors in the coffee. The end product is a surprisingly smooth, sweet, spicy, citrus taste with a caramel finish.
H.C Valentine only uses the top two percent of the best-graded, high-grown coffees and is committed to finding farmers who strive for sustainable growing practices that will produce the finest taste characteristics for their growing regions.
The difference between artisan-roasted coffee and regular coffee lies in the roasting process. Artisan coffees perfect the process for a batch of beans and blend the roasts together, creating a taste profile that is balanced, richly flavorful and unique.

https://blog.homebrewing.org/pellet-hops-vs-whole-leaf/ | 2024-02-22T11:03:53 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473738.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222093910-20240222123910-00537.warc.gz | 0.935679 | 691 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__191593761 | en | Among the “this or that” debates of homebrewing, the question of whether to use pellet hops or whole leaf hops is primarily a matter of personal preference. But, there are a few things to consider when deciding what kind of hops to use when brewing.
Pellet Hops vs Whole Leaf
The term “whole leaf” is a bit of a misnomer when it comes to talking about hops. Brewers use the flowering part of the hop plant, often called a cone or a strobile. When hops are harvested, the pinecone-shaped flowers are picked by hand or with a machine. Then the hops are dried in an oast. Next, if the hops are being processed into pellets, the hop cones get milled and pressed into pellets. Finally, the hops are pressed into bales, vacuum packaged, sealed, and stored cold.
One of the main arguments against using pellet hops in your beer is that heat generated during the pelletizing process can degrade the quality of the hops, but most any modern hops farm will take precautions against this. You can be confident that any of the major hop producers you buy from have taken care to prevent any degradation due to pelletizing of the hops.
Without further delay, below are several of the pros and cons of pellet hops vs whole leaf.
- Less plant material means less wort gets lost in the kettle trub, improving brewhouse efficiency.
- Pellet hops offer slightly higher hop utilization, meaning more IBU bang for your buck.
- Pellet hops store well.
- Pellet hops are readily available.
Pellet Hops: Cons
- The processing of the pellets may damage some of the aroma compounds in the hops. That said, with modern harvesting and processing techniques, actual damage is likely negligible. Hop pellets are used by brewers all over the world.
- Since the hop material is shredded, it can sometimes clog spigots and tubing. A bazooka screen can be installed inside the brew kettle to protect against this.
- Whole leaf hops can be used as a filter bed when drawing wort from the brew kettle.
- Whole leaf hops are the best option if brewing a wet hop beer.
- Some think whole leaf hops offer better flavor and aroma characteristics. Sierra Nevada uses exclusively whole leaf hops. Randy Mosher, author of Radical Brewing, also prefers whole leaf hops.
Leaf Hops: Cons
- Whole leaf hops take up more space in storage and in the brewing kettle.
- Whole leaf hops offer slightly less hop utilization than pellet hops.
- Whole leaf hops may not always be available or their selection may be more limited.
There you have it. There are some of the pro’s and con’s of pellet hops vs whole leaf hops. As you can see they are somewhat minor, even thought there is a minority who believe whole leaf is the only way to go. In the end, both can be used to make excellent beer.
So what’s your preference – pellet hops or whole leaf?

I have attempted to grow roses and lilies but they all wilted and eventually died due to the sweltering heat in my makeshift veranda outside my window. I have however learned a few gardening tips from my aunt who owns a flower garden. And oh she sells them too…
NOTE: All the pictures in this post were taken in Denmark. Thank you Christian for the photos and I hope you don’t mind that I edited them…
1. Start by setting aside some space in your yard to have a garden. Make sure that the area has access to sunlight and where the soil isn’t too moist. If the plants you will be growing are sensitive to sunlight, ensure that you install some barriers like nets or makeshift roofs to shield the delicate flowers.
2. Loosen the soil. You can do this by using a garden tool. Remove big rocks which may hamper the growth of the roots. If you growing organically, enrich your soil by adding something like peat moss and dehydrated cow manure. Don’t forget to put in some mulch into the soil to improve the quality.
3. Choose plants/flowers that are in season and ensure that you have a plan on how to do it. Of course, it is always best to know the variety of plants that would thrive in your garden and in the area where you are at. Keep in mind that the weather will play a very big role in the success of your own garden.
4. When watering the garden, you’re better off to set up a sprinkler to run for a period of time than using a hose with direct nozzle. This will cause the plants to flatten or wilt sometimes. In addition, there’s also the fact that a hot afternoon is about the worst time to water because a lot of the water evaporates in the heat so make sure that you set the sprinkler to turn on in the morning.
5. Visit your garden everyday. This will be a sure way for you to relax and yes smell the roses… Your loving touch and green thumb will help ensure that your garden will bloom. | agronomy |

7 Basic Tips for New Gardeners
Gardening is a simple and gratifying hobby that is enjoyed by millions. A gardener can manage one or two containers on a balcony to a complex lot that spans several acres. Regardless of the size of the garden, the basic rules to maintain the garden are generally the same. Here are several basic tips for the new gardeners:
Right place - Make sure to plant the flowers, fruits, or vegetables in the right place to match the specific type of plant. Avoid trying to suit a plant to an empty plot, as successful growth isn't likely to be achieved if the right shady, moist, dry, or hot spot isn't provided.
Mature growth - The full size of a plant, shrub, or tree should be considered when planning the garden landscape. A common mistake is to plant shrubs or trees too closely, and not appreciating the mature size after several seasons of growth. Compacted plants can leave the perennial bed looking overgrown and crowded.
Start small - Start out with a small bed or patch to give the new gardener time to hone their gardening skills. An ideal size is a single 25' X 25' patch or a 4' X 8' bed. Make sure to carefully plan the garden to increase the chance of enjoying successful growth and avoid improperly sited trees. A fruit-bearing tree planted in a less than ideal position is certain to cause a lot of trouble in 5 or 10 years should it need to be relocated.
Buy the basics - A varied selection of tools and supplies is certain to make planting and maintaining the garden easier. A basic tool collection should include hand tools (trowel, weed puller, cultivator, pruners, etc), hose, fertilizers, and protective gear (gloves, hat, sun block, etc).
Feed the soil - Give the soil a regular application of nutrient-rich materials to help promote strong growth of the plant life. Preferred soil amendments include well-rotted homemade compost, grass clippings, crushed leaves, and similar organic matter.
Mass the plants - Try to plant the small plants or flowers so that the leaves slightly overlap or touch to help with creating a micro-climate. This offers the benefit of minimizing weed growth. Also, this make sure you see a lot more plants and color in the garden, and a lot less soil between the plants.
Varied plant life - A garden landscape that relies on only flower color isn't the most attractive option. A well-planned garden should also consider texture, foliage, and winter interest.

Epsom Salt - "The Secret" to Organic Gardens, or a Myth?
Good old Epsom Salts, even being as youthful as I am I do recall my grandmother (and even my mother) using it as an alternative to medicines for sore and tired muscles, and other common ailments such as insect bites. Passed down from generation to generation, many have made claims about its potent medicinal applications, as well as its usefulness in the garden.
In the garden, it has earned a reputation as a wonderful alternative to chemical fertilisers as well as an insect repellent. Or has it?
That depends on whether you are a gardener or a researcher. Gardeners for decades swear by it, saying it enhances the growth of their gardens, promotes green foliage and pest free plants, as well as luscious, tasty vegetables. Yet time and time again there are researchers that can find no scientific basis for these claims. Many even say it can be detrimental to vegetables and gardens.
So who is correct?
Well, before I answer that question based on my own personal experience and research, let's have a look at what this chemical compound comprises of - basically the two most important fertiliser compounds - magnesium and sulphur. Magnesium's role is to support the growing process and assist in the production of the plant's fruit. Sulphur accelerates the development of plant protein and therefore greatly enriches the nutritional value of your vegetables.
Nearly all plant chemical fertilisers will have these two compounds mixed in with a whole bunch of other ingredients, which to be honest, may not even be required for plant health.
From my view, I do believe there is a role for Epsom Salts in the garden. There are tell tale signs when vegetable plants are magnesium deficient, particularly if there has been depletion in top soil or erosion from the elements. These signs include:
• Leaf discolouration (yellowish) or curing
• Stunted growth
• Decrease in the production or size of fruit
I have found that if your plants show signs of magnesium deficiency, then Epsom Salts is a safe, cost effective, and organic way to compensate for your vegetable garden, if applied properly. Like many supplements, if you do not follow the directions for attending to your plants, it can be harmful.
Should you wish to apply Epsom Salts to your garden, it is recommended with established plants to mix in one tablespoon of it into the soil at the bottom of the planting hole.
For ongoing maintenance, dilute 1 tablespoon of Epsom Salts into one gallon of water and spray the leaves of the plant when it starts to flower. This is a time when additional magnesium is highly beneficial.
It has been reported that the key vegetables to benefit greatly from the application of Epsom Salts are tomatoes and peppers (capsicums). Feedback suggest it takes the "bitiness" out of them and produces larger, sweeter and luscious fruits!

With an increase in the global population and the need to avail new arable land, there is a need to look for alternative farming systems that are sustainable. The production of protein from macro-farming units is becoming unsustainable. To add to this demeanour is the food waste debacle.
The present review evaluates the insect industry holistically from the growth of the insects to harvesting and processing, to using insects in food waste reduction, to the production of bioactive ingredients from insects, to food safety issues regarding entomophagy, and to consumer acceptance of the insects. The authors highlight the potential of using insects as future food and feed components and evaluate the stronger sustainability of protein production through insect farming.
Entomophagy is a global culinary trend dominant in Africa, America, and Asia. With increased migration, the use of insects has to be seriously evaluated in markets not readily accepting them. The use of insects in the feed also offers a potential for sustainable protein utilisation, considering that soybean protein and fishmeal are becoming difficult to use as a protein source due to costs and unsustainable production methods. The future for the insect industry looks positive from all fronts.

Its burs irritate people and livestock and the roots, leaves, and flowers are strongly phytotoxic and poisonous. Currently it is listed as an agricultural and environmental weed in more than 40 countries.18
Can I eat cobblers pegs
In the 1970s the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) promoted the cultivation of cobblers pegs, known scientifically as Bidens Pilosa, as they were easy to grow, edible, palatable and safe.
What is Bidens Pilosa extract
Extracts of Bidens Pilosa are used in southern Africa to cure malaria. Meanwhile, in South Africa, the leaves are used to ease arthritis. And in Nigeria, the powder or ash from the seeds are applied as a local anaesthetic to cuts.
What are the benefits of Black Jack leaves
Experts say that the blackjack plant is a good source of vitamin C. It contains 63 milligrams of vitamin C in 100 grams. An adult needs about 75 milligrams to 90 milligrams of vitamin C a day. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and also helps your body make collagen, which helps your body heal wounds.
Are farmers Friends edible
It is edible, sometimes cultivated and with some impressive medicinal properties. In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is used for clearing heat and removing toxins, while it is also extensively sourced amongst many traditional healers of Africa and Hawaii.
How do I get rid of farmers friend
They will break down to return organic matter to topsoil. Small weeds that have not formed seed heads and are disease-free can be composted or put into worm farms. Larger weeds with seed heads must be removed and destroyed by burning, or soaking in water for an extended period, or disposed of in a sealed plastic bag.
Where does Bidens Pilosa grow
Bidens pilosa is a cosmopolitan, annual herb which originates from tropical and Central America. Its hardiness, explosive reproductive potential, and ability to thrive in almost any environment have enabled it to establish throughout the world.
Why are they called Farmers friends
Earthworms are farmers' friends because they improve the quality of the soil like water holding capacity, moisture, and nutrient content by burrowing into the soil. The soil becomes loose and porous. Also, the worm castings improve the distribution of organic matter in the soil.
What herbicide kills cobblers pegs
To effectively control cobblers pegs in lawns and garden beds, spray with Searles Dead Weed. PLEASE NOTE: Searles Deadweed is a broad spectrum weed killer and will kill all types of lawn varieties.
Can you eat Bidens Pilosa
alba aka Bidens pilosa (BYE-denz AL-bah, pil-OH-suh) also has an edible flower. It's a tangy if not vigorous addition to salads. Bidens' young leaves — a few at a time — are suitable for the salad. Shoots, tips and young leaves are good potherbs.
What part of Bidens alba is edible
The plants may die after the first frost but will come back quickly when the weather turns warm. A single plant can produce 3,000 to 6,000 seeds, so if you don't want them to spread you need to pull up the plants before they go to seed — or you can eat them. The fresh or dried leaves of bidens alba are edible.
Is Black Jack edible
Black-jack (Bidens pilosa) is an edible vegetable, and is also used in medicine, fodder, herbal tea and as a spice. All parts, the aerial parts (leaves, flowers, seeds, and stems), and/or the roots, fresh or dried, are used as ingredients in traditional medicines.29
Can Black Jack be eaten raw
You can cook blackjack leaves as a vegetable the same way you cook rape/covo/spinach and serve with your sadza/isitshwala. Leaves can also be eaten raw just like you do with lettuce or cabbage.24
What are Blackjacks used for
A blackjack weapon or sap refers to a group of weapons that are short, concealable, and weighted (usually filled with lead powder, molded lead clay, or lead shot) to constitute an effective bludgeoning device.
What is a blackjack weapon made of
The sap, slapper, or blackjack is a heavy leather pouch, eight to twelve inches long, filled with lead and sometimes a flexible steel rod. Unlike a baton, a sap's size and shape allowed it to be concealed inside an officer's pocket.
What is in black jacks
Glucose syrup, Sugar, Palm Oil, Colour (Vegetable Carbon), Hydrolysed Pea Protein, Citric Acid, Aniseed Oil, Acidity Regulator (Trisodium citrate).
What type of fruit is blackjack
Description. Bidens pilosa is an annual herb with an erect habit to 1.5 m in height (Stanley and Ross 1983-1989). It is easily recognised by the elongated fruits that bear hooked bristles (burrs) that embed themselves in people's clothing as they brush past the stems.
Where can I hit someone with sap
You can strike anywhere, but take care to avoid the frontal glacis of the forehead as this is the most durable part of the skull and also most likely to deflect the blow. Strikes to the temple or the face will easily break the thinner bones there and likely inflict a concussion.14 | agronomy |

Green living has gone beyond trend status to a way of life for many of us, and while we aren't quite ready to join life on the commune anytime soon, most of us have a reusable shopping bag to our name, have purchased some organic fruits or veggies, and are putting that recycling bin behind the house to good use. Some of us have gone further, investing in alternative energies or nixing the car in favor of our own two feet. But how many of you have buried a cow horn filled of manure under a full moon? Really? No one?
Perhaps to your surprise, a number of earth-friendly vineyards have, just one step in a sometimes silly sounding eight-part process that is the heart of biodynamic farming. Based on the ideas of agriculture expert Rudolf Steiner, biodynamic theory began well before the organic movement - back in 1924. The approach not only takes on sustainable and green practices like organic farming, but adds in a spiritual element that considers the plants, soil, sun, and all other components of the space as a living being.
At the core is the preparations of biodynamic agriculture - steps the farmers must take at certain times of the year to strengthen the spirit of the land and encourage the growth, yield, and quality they desire. It all begins with burying cow manure in a cow horn in the dead of winter, then digging it up and spraying the mixture with water over the land beneath the afternoon sun. Yes, we know, it sounds a little bizarre. It actually gets even more unusual, with ground quartz, stag bladders, various flowers, and an animal skull all playing integral parts. But, according to the vineyards who are popularizing the return of these preparations, they are worth it for the finished product they provide.
Methods Show Results
Of course, those results are as hotly discussed as the methods. Some growers swear they have overcome disease and rot once starting biodynamic farming. Some say their soil is better, their plants are healthier, and they have little to no weeds or pests. Science has stepped in and attempted to test, but a study comparing a biodynamic farm and a classic organic farm didn't show any obvious difference.
Taste, however, may be the one big difference that biodynamic vintners have on their side. The wines that result from biodynamic grape crops constantly test well in tastings, often above their traditional counterparts. And a tasting run by Fortune magazine resulted in all of the Master Sommeliers in attendance selecting biodynamic wines over normal options.
That alone seems to have gotten the attention of the wine community, as both small boutique vineyards and larger producers worldwide have switched to, or at least begun experimenting with, biodynamic practices. They may not be feeling the zen, New Age spirit of Steiner as they sprinkle tea over the vines, but they are willing to try it.
Want to try it, too? The wines, that is — we’ll leave the sourcing of cow intestine to you. On the cusp of the trend, stores are stocking a decent number of biodynamic wines. Head into your friendly neighborhood shop and you will likely see a small display showcasing Danica and biodynamic options. Many bottles have the term "biodynamic" on the label, but other producers don't obviously advertise their farming techniques. A little fun on Google will help you find more options, many of which are in stores or available for order online. And the price for all this mystic madness won't cost you much green — bottles usually range from $13 to $50. Does it actually make for better vino? You be the judge.

Common nameChicory, witloof chicory
Varieties and seasons
There are two interesting chicory species, remarkable for their agronomic and alimentary qualities:
- Cichorium Endivia, the "real" chicory, available in varieties such as curled-leaf chicory, broad-leafed endives, etc.
- Cichorium Intybus or bitter chicory, available in varieties such as Witloof chicory, characterised by the ability of its root to produce a bud or cos in artificial growing conditions (forcing).
It is also important to distinguish these two varieties of chicory from two other types of chicory.
- Industrial chicory, which is turned into “roasting chicory”. This is grown for the aroma of its roasted root, which provides a tasty substitute to coffee. Recently, the polyfructoses (inuline) in chicory have been extracted as a source of edible fibre, along with fructose, with its sweetening properties.
- Lastly, witloof chicory offers red and variegated chicory.
The biggest producers of chicory are France, Belgium and the Netherlands. France is now the world’s leading producer with 475,000 tonnes per year, well ahead of Netherlands (55 000t) and Belgium with 100,000 tonnes (EUROSTAT 2013).
In France, people eat almost 3.6kg of chicory (the third most consumed vegetable) per year, just behind the Belgians with 6.3kg. It is, after all, its country of origin!
Chicory is essentially consumed between November and March (85% of sales). There is a growing trend towards non-seasonal consumption in Spring and Summer.
Nutritional values (per 100 g)
*Ciqual 2013 **Recommended Daily Intake
A light and refreshing vegetable (almost 95% water), chicory contains few calories.
It contains an average of 2.7% fibre, composed mostly of soft cellulose and hemicellulose, which give the chicory its firm and crunchy texture.
It has an extremely high vitamin C and vitamin B9/Folacin density: if you consume 100 kcalories of chicory out of the 2,300 (the daily recommended amount), you will have covered almost 100% of your requirement in vitamin C and fibres, and almost 3 times your recommended vitamin B9 intake!
When it comes to portions...?
- a child portion: one chicory
- an adult portion: two chicory
Cooking and nutrition: tasty combinations
- Braised chicory with ham: a highly popular recipe that’s tasty and offers a good nutritional balance. The thin slices of ham rolled around the chicory, which is very low in calories, complemented by grated cheese, gives the dish a rounded flavour that everyone loves. In terms of nutrition, it offers a very balanced meal.
- Another great classic, Chicory Salad with Roquefort and Walnuts, combines four subtle flavours: the mildness and tangy quality of the chicory leaves, the salty, bitter taste of Roquefort, the acidity of the cheese and the vinaigrette, and the rounded flavour of walnuts. From a nutritional point of view, it’s a veritable cocktail of vitamins, including A, E, C, B9, B12, fibre, calcium and phosphorus, and essential fatty acids! | agronomy |

Patriot Lawn and Landscape specializes in sod and mulch installation for residential and commercial clients. From the smallest yard to the biggest, our process is time-tested and proven to give you the lushest, most successful lawn you have ever had. When you call us, we’ll come out to provide you with a free estimate and go over the process. We will first survey your land, remove the existing yard, and install the new one. Best part is, our professionals will provide ongoing services after installation to ensure the health of your new sod. From start to finish, we can make the yard of your dreams a reality within a budget that works for you.
Advantages of a Sod Yard
While sod does cost more than grass seed initially, rolls of pre-grown grass offer benefits that go far beyond initial cost to deliver a finished product designed to last season after season. One of the best benefits of sod is that it’s instant, turning a bare patch of ground into a grass-covered lawn as soon as installation is done. Compare that to a seeded lawn that requires several weeks before you see any results. Plus, a seed-planted lawn will be covered with straw to protect the seeds, which leaves your yard looking unsightly.
Sod also requires less maintenance than seed, once installation is done. At first, it will need regular watering so it stays moist until firmly established. But after that, sod doesn’t dry out as fast as a grass-seeded lawn will, which needs to be watered up to four or more times per day. The less frequent irrigation demands for sod will save you money on water and time. A sodded yard is ready to use more quickly than a seeded lawn, plus you don’t have to worry about seeds blowing away in the wind or with a heavy rain. Sod is a thick mat of established grass, so it covers the soil completely, and thus keeps it in place.
Benefits of Mulch in Your Yard
We also provide mulch delivery and installation. There are many advantages to adding mulch to your landscape as well. We believe mulching is one of the best things you can do for your garden, as it acts as a protective barrier for your plants and bare soil. Not only does it control weeds and retain moisture, it prevents soil erosion and maintains soil nutrients. It even controls pests. Certain mulch types such as cedar bark can discourage certain pests thanks to its natural oils acting as insect repellent. And lastly, using organic material for mulching can bring earthworms to your garden soil, which is advantageous in improving soil structure and nutrient cycling.
Not sure if you need sod installation, mulch installation or both? Our professionals can help you decide. Plus, we’ll inform you of the best type for each that will thrive in your landscape.

A sign of the springtime, the daffodil is representative of brighter days to come! Synonymous with the patron saint of Wales, St. David, daffodils are symbolic of Welsh pride and culture.
As part of our St. David’s Day celebrations at Bluestone, we commissioned a beautiful arch filled with the flower of Wales handpicked in Pembrokeshire, to be showcased in our Serendome.
To see this journey through we visited one of the daffodil fields Blas y Tir had been picking to provide us with the daffodils for our St David’s Day piece for a chat with the team…
Peeping over the hills through the Pembrokeshire countryside sat a field with rows upon rows of budding and blooming daffodils.
Pickers hard at work, bundling and bunching the flowers to be packed up and delivered, they weaved through the crop. The field swept down into a tree‐filled valley, beyond which you could see the waves crashing against the cliffs around Solva.
Most striking though was the bright golden and green colours of the daffodil field. Interspersed were buds yet to bloom that were primed for picking, with daffodils in full colour.
Showing us round the fields and taking the time to chat with us about Blas y Tir were Marketing Manager, Clare Stansfield, and Head of Field Operations, John Addams‐Williams.
Launched by Puffin Produce in 2011, Blas y Tir’s mission is to supply Wales with great Welsh produce. Whether that’s potatoes, broccolis, leeks or other fresh veg for your dinner, or bright daffodils for your home and garden!
To ensure the highest quality produce, Blas y Tir farm on a crop rotation that ensures each harvest receives the love and care it needs, with their daffodils ready to harvest around winter’s end.
Underpinning this work are three core values that Blas y Tir aims to uphold:
1. Working together to ensure that consumers are provided with the highest quality of produce all year round.
2. Doing the right thing so farmers and growers feel supported and have the knowledge and skills to be successful. Supporting each other throughout all aspects of the company and the process, so when one person does well, everyone does well!
3. Working towards and maintaining a sustainable future, so that the land that provides its spectacular produce can remain healthy and do so for years to come.
To make sure this sustainable way of working, and living, is maintained for the now and for the future, Blas y Tir undertakes several initiatives.
A member of the Coulthard agreement, an initiative undertaken by numerous organisations across the food system with the goal of driving down waste.
They are users of the Cool Farm Tool, in order to measure and manage greenhouse gas, water and the biodiversity of their sites in order to make informed and responsible environmental decisions.
Commitments to source 95% of energy from renewable sources as well as reduce as much waste as possible in the production process means the lands farmed are looked after and cared for so that they can supply food for generations to come.
At Bluestone, we share these values as we work towards a free range and sustainable future. Working with people who want to celebrate and take care of the land around us is so important, as we look to highlight the amazing things about Pembrokeshire, but also ensure that what it provides can be enjoyed for years to come.
The daffodils farmed by Blas y Tir that are showcased at Bluestone, are a perfect representation of the celebration born from collaboration of our land!
Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! Happy St. David’s Day!

Agricultural crop production depends on various factors such as biology, climate, economy and geography. Several factors have different impacts on agriculture, which can be quantified using appropriate statistical methodologies .Predicting the crop yield well in advance prior to its harvest can help the farmers and Government organizations to make appropriate planning like storing, selling, fixing minimum support price, importing/exporting etc. As Prediction of crop deals with large set of database thus making this prediction system a perfect candidate for application of data mining. This work aims at finding suitable data models that achieve a high accuracy and a high generality in terms of yield prediction capabilities. The main aim is to create a user friendly interface for farmers, which gives the prediction of production using Data Mining techniques like Regression and Clustering based on available data in all districts of Kerala.

And while U.S. farmers may be getting up from that punch, it may take them longer to regain their footing in international markets.
For those corn growers who had crop insurance, last year turned out pretty well, as a combination of higher prices and significant insurance payouts meant they fared well when they closed the books last year. However, a report from the University of Tennessee’s Institute of Agriculture Policy Analysis Center warns of some long-term pain ahead.
The center’s Daryll Ray and Harwood Shaffer expect overseas corn production to keep increasing, especially because foreign farmers benefited from the higher corn prices last year and have increased production by 171 percent over the past three and a half decades.
The researchers say “that exports from outside the U.S. were up to 3 billion bushels last year, while U.S. drought-ravaged exports were a paltry 715 million bushels. As the advantage the U.S. had in corn technology has spread around the world, corn exports have fallen both in absolute terms and as a percentage of the world use of corn.”
Both Ray and Shaffer say it has been more than just a bad drought that has other countries surpassing the U.S. in exporting corn around the globe. They note that even though U.S. farm policy has been geared toward export revenue since 1985, countries such as Brazil and Argentina have added more land to be used to grow corn — and in Brazil’s case will continue to grow more. They also expect production output on that land to increase.
At the same time, U.S. farmers may not grow as much corn when prices drop. With high grain prices like we’ve seen the last few years, farmers spend extra money to grow crops on less desirable land. (The U.S. Department of Agriculture projects a record crop this year.) Farmers won’t make that effort when the costs outweigh the returns.
The University of Tennessee researchers say the U.S. will always be a presence in international corn trade, but because the others caught up, the international market won’t be as profitable as it once was.
“We know that we have competitors around the world, but during a drought like that we had, we are glad there is a supply of grain. The year before it was Argentina who had the drought and we are able to fulfill the demand,” she said.
Johnson said corn growers are hoping to produce a normal crop in order to “increase the markets for domestic livestock, ethanol and exports.”
Crop projections have shrunk since the spring, when it looked like this could be one of the largest corn yields ever. But still, as the U.S. harvest approaches, corn prices have dropped, which means farmers may not realize the profits they were seeing during the years where demand for ethanol was driving up the prices. (As of mid-September, year-to-year corn prices were down almost 40 percent.) One analyst, speaking to livestock farmers, recently said that ethanol prices may have reached a high, something echoed by the University of Tennessee report.
While there are projections of lower prices for much of the next decade, Johnson noted that farming has always run in cycles.
“Prices have been good (in recent years) so that farmers could pay down debt on land and make machinery purchases that could help them farm better,” Johnson said. “Going forward, if we get a couple of bumper crops under our belt, perhaps all of us will have to tighten our belts for a while.”
The National Corn Growers Association continues to work at expanding exports. Johnson was in Panama last week as North America and South America work together on exporting to Asia. So they find themselves approaching a belt tightening period working with, not competing against Brazil and Argentina. It is another indicator that dominating the international corn market may be a thing of the past.
The industry will have a better feel for things on Thursday (Sept. 12), when the U.S. Department of Agriculture releases its production forecast. | agronomy |

Building Land Stewards in Colorado
By Jennifer Cook
Air, water, soil, plants, and animals are natural resources we depend on every day and yet many of us don’t understand their dynamic relationships or how to protect them. We can be better land stewards through simple strategies that will help protect these natural resources.
Grazing livestock and horses can help regenerate our soils and forages if managed in a way that protects from overgrazing. Overgrazing occurs when our livestock graze for too long in one area. The desired forages eventually die-off from continued defoliation and weeds take advantage of overgrazed areas, becoming infestations and reducing palatable forages even further.
Strategies to limit overgrazing are to fence a “sacrifice area” and utilize temporary fencing. A sacrifice area is an area with shelter and water that is a comfortable size for livestock and horses to move around and spend much of their time. Pastures can be subdivided using temporary/movable fencing so that YOU control where and when your livestock graze. Pastures are grazed for a short time, protecting grasses by always maintaining at least a 3-inch stubble. When pasture grasses are 3-inches or shorter, it’s time to move livestock to the sacrifice area to let the grass regrow. The sacrifice area is also used in the winter when grasses are not actively growing.
Manure is a valuable resource and adds organic matter and nutrients to our soils. But manure can also become a water pollutant. Store manure at least 150 feet away from wells, ditches, dry washes, lakes and streams, to protect water quality. As water runs through manure, it carries with it nitrogen and other nutrients from the manure that will pollute aboveground and underground water. Excess nutrients in our water can cause human and livestock health issues and are what causes the algae blooms and fish kills we hear about on the news.
Regenerative farming and carbon sequestration are words you may have heard recently. They have to do with building soil health and protecting air quality. Land managers play an important role in reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide, a greenhouses gas. Carbon sequestration is the process by which atmospheric carbon dioxide is taken up by grasses, trees, and plants through photosynthesis, and stored as carbon in soils, roots, branches, and foliage. Carbon sequestration offsets carbon dioxide emissions from sources such as burning fossil fuels and forest fires.
Tilling, burning, and tearing up the soil releases stored carbon and increases particulate matter (inhalable particles such as dust and smoke) into the air. We can protect soil health and air quality by planting cover crops on bare ground and/or establishing perennial vegetation. These are some of the strategies we use to regenerate the soil as in regenerative farming.
An easy way to learn more is through CSU Online non-credit Land Stewardship badge program, developed in partnership between CSU Online and CSU Extension. Take one or more of the online self-paced short courses. The target audience includes: small acreage land owners, farm or livestock managers, urban/rural hobby farmers, realtors and listing agents.
Participants will gain a better understanding of the available natural resources, how to cultivate them sustainably, and build an effective long-term land management plan. The Land Stewardship Program, developed for the Colorado-arid west soil and climatic conditions, provides the learner with more localized land strategies.
Online courses are open and available for registration. To register, please visit the link to the course below:

https://bestlightfor.com/lighting/best-light-for-vegetative-growth-you-wasnt-aware-of/ | 2023-06-04T10:42:44 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224649741.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20230604093242-20230604123242-00624.warc.gz | 0.943331 | 1,899 | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__301495540 | en | In this article, we will discuss the best light for vegetative growth and its benefits.
The vegetative state is the fundamental stage whenever any garden is in the blooming stage. It is a crucial stage because, during this duration, most of the root mass of the plant structure is created. It is during this time when the stem strength of the plant comes into place.
Do you want this process to happen in your garden seamlessly? If yes, then artificial light can be the best energy source for plant growth in your garden. Lightning for the vegetative state is significant for plant growth.
Take a look at the best lights for the vegetative growth stage in your garden below.
1. High Intensity Discharge (HID)
HID stands for high-intensity discharge lighting. It is on top of our list because it is the popular choice for indoor artificial lightning during the vegetative growth stage. HID is very popular for indoor horticulture because of how well it works for plant growth.
The only thing you might have a little trouble with is the light dispersion. All the light is emitted from a sole point, which is why there is an inconsistency of light in the garden.
You can resolve this problem with the help of light reflectors to create a uniform light pattern in your garden. Some people use a light mover, or they rotate the plants.
2. Metal Halide (MH)
Metal halide is also a popular choice for vegetative growth by indoor gardeners. The amount of blue light emitted by these bulbs is quite intense.
A unique factor about this artificial lightning is that the plants are less likely to stretch, and they do not create elongated node spacing after going through the blue light spectrum.
It is the perfect choice for those indoor gardeners who do not want their plants to get too big. After using this bulb type, the plants will stay short and maintained easily. Overall, it is a very effective method to utilize for the vegetative growth of plants.
3. High Pressure Sodium (HPS)
High-pressure sodium lighting has a red spectrum light and a higher output. Many gardeners use lightning for the vegetative growth of plants, and it proved to be quite efficient.
The advantage of using high-pressure sodium bulbs is that they do not require replacing them more frequently and provide a better result per watt.
However, advanced technology has allowed high-pressure sodium bulbs to give a better full spectrum result. It won’t be wrong to say that high-pressure sodium bulbs are the most effective type of HID lighting.
4. T5 Fluorescents
This light provides a very effective result and produces a lot of heat which is excellent for the vegetative growth of plants. A few years back, you will see gardeners using T12 and T8 fluorescents for vegetative growth of plants, but it is not being used anymore.
The old technology has been replaced by T8 fluorescence now. It would not be wrong to say that it has become a staple for many gardeners out there. The best thing about these lights is that they provide a great result and light dispersion simultaneously.
The light admitted is uniform and equal all over the garden. You don’t need to move your plants repeatedly, which saves you a lot of hassle.
5. Light-emitting Diodes (LED)
Light-emitting diodes have a lot of advantages for indoor gardening and the vegetative growth of plants. The light emitted from light-emitting diodes is meager, which is excellent for keeping your plants close to the light source.
Mainly these lights are produced so that they have a higher level of blue spectrum output. Indoor gardeners use them because they provide consistent growth in terms of plant canopy and node spacing.
6. Induction Lighting
Induction lights are similar to the T5 fluorescents. A lot of gardeners are using them because they provide a significant light emission that is uniform. These lights have a low heat signature and can easily last for more than 15 years.
Induction lighting is a little bit on the pricier side, but it provides value for your money. Are you a committed indoor gardener? If yes, you should seriously consider getting induction lighting for your garden and the vegetative growth of your plants!

Benefits for Vegetative Lightning
Take a look at the benefits of vegetative lightning below.
1. Faster Harvest Cycle
The primary benefit of artificial lightning for your plants is that they provide an artificial source of sunlight to the plants. With this lightning, they will grow the best in less time. Unfortunately, the natural sunset at night time and then plants are not able to grow faster.
But you can change that by getting vegetative lighting for your garden because the grow lights do not set at night like the sun. Plants grow faster with the help of grow lights which give the faster harvest cycle to the plants overall in the long run.
There are many grow lights that you can choose from that are available in the market.
2. Accurate Spectrum
LED vegetative growth lighting is very versatile, especially for harvesting and growing plants. They have a competitive advantage as compared to the HID spectrum lights. HID lights have less color rendering as compared to the light-emitting diodes for vegetative growth.
The main advantage of artificial lighting technology is that the gardeners can collect reactions of different plants. This lightning lets them to grow new leaves and harvest depending upon the wavelength and intensity of vegetative growth lights.
LED grow lights are eco-friendly and do not cause any harm to the environment. It is also one of the reasons why it has so many benefits, and many people prefer it over other types of artificial lighting. Unfortunately, you can easily recycle your entire LED grow lights, but you cannot do that with HID lights.
HID lights also have a lot of mercury, which can be very damaging to the environment when burnt. It is possible to maintain a regulated plant environment for vegetation and growth with the help of artificial lights. The best part is now you can keep the matters eco-friendly as well.
4. Less Heat Emission
Ultraviolet rays and other methods of heating can be too extreme for plants sometimes. If the sunlight is completely direct, it can even burn the plants and cause many issues for the gardeners in the long run.
The advantage of artificial lightning for plant growth is that optimal environmental conditions can be achieved easily. It is possible to control the amount of light that a plant needs to grow correctly.
This way, you can adjust the heat you are providing the plant and keep everything in control. There will be less heat emission which will be beneficial for the environment as well.
5. Better Proximity
Vegetative lights give better proximity to the plants. They have low heat power, and that is why the gardeners can place the grow lights near their plants. Even if they grow light is a few inches away from the plant, it will not damage the plants because everything will stay under control.
This allows the gardeners to reach a plant’s canopy with maximum light. If the grow lights have a larger beam, it will let the gardener put the light near the plants, which can be very beneficial in providing less heat and a faster grow cycle.
6. Modular Designs
Vegetative grow lights are a budget-friendly addition to your garden. You can easily choose the grow lights that are in your budget and will suit your needs according to the size of your garden. You can also use the vegetative growth lights to design your garden and make it look decent.
These lights have an excellent luminous capacity and are a great way to promote the efficient growth of plants in the long run in your garden. LED growth lights last longer as compared to the other fluorescent bulbs. And another benefit of LED vegetative lights is that you do not need to replace them more often.

Additional Tips for Vegetative Lightning
- Make sure that the light source is always closer to the plant canopy.
- To ensure you get vegetative growth evenly, increase the light energy for tighter node spacing.
- Sometimes, you can use manipulation to maintain the plant canopy and keep it in uniform.
- To ensure effective vegetative growth, ensure that the light is on for at least 18 hours per day.
- Change the bulbs and lighting that you are using for vegetative growth once a year.
Proper lighting is essential for the healthy vegetative cycle of plants. Do you want to prepare your garden for the flowering stage and vegetative growth? You can achieve this quickly and efficiently with the help of vegetative growth lights.
There are many vegetative growth lights available in the market, and you can choose the ones that fit your needs and the size of your garden. After checking out the vegetative lights that we have mentioned above, you can make a choice quickly. | agronomy |
