I’m a big picture person. That’s why I’m hoping that some of the folks that are coming out to the DC Yoga Co-op Exploratory committee on January 21 find joy in the details. We will need both the yin and the yang to make this thing work.
As a big picture person, I like analogies…models…”suppose ifs.” At the risk of driving my detail brothers and sisters nuts, I’d like to share these thoughts, starting with heirloom tomatoes.
Back when my Macdaddy grew his Beefsteak tomatoes on his little patch of land in Harlan, Kentucky, they weren’t considered an heirloom, they were just tomatoes. They were as big as a small child’s head, intricately cavernous, full of seeds and juice and the occasional worm. When he’d get home from work for lunch (Harlan wasn’t a big town — he could walk home for his mid-day meal), Nanny would have a lunch of green beans, creamed corn, fresh green onions plucked from the dirt that morning, maybe a sweet potato if it wasn’t too steamy to turn on the oven, and thick-as-steak slices of Beefsteak tomato. You didn’t need anything but a bit of salt a pepper to make those slices sing.
You could only have fresh Beefsteaks in July and August. After the growing season, we had canned tomatoes (the ones Nanny spent days putting up) or the ones you got in the store. Now, we call these kind of tomatoes “heirloom,” since there was a concerted effort by local farmers to preserve these varieties. Big grocery store chains preferred tomatoes that wouldn’t bruise, were uniform in their shape and color, easier to grow and transport, like my favorite grocery store brand, above.
In my (albeit strange) mind, the DC Yoga Co-op could be a lot like an heirloom tomato. Big, ripe, juicy, a bit messy perhaps, but worth the extra trip to the farmer’s market. Not something that you can eat every day on the salad you bring to work to eat at your desk, but instead a sweet treat savored with friends over Sunday brunch.
The group that came together a few months ago to discuss the possibility of starting a co-op in the region were motivated, just as those local farmers were, to preserve variety in our local yoga culture, to nurture quality, to tend to our little bit of land as yoga teachers.
Using this analogy to whet your appetite, can you imagine what we would be proud of accomplishing in our first year as the DC Yoga Co-op? Who would we serve? How?

Tree & Shrub Treatments
The mission of our Tree and Shrub Division is to provide you with a program of quality and timely applications to control certain insects and diseases that can mar the beauty of your trees and shrubs. Insects such as Japanese Beetles and tent caterpillars and diseases like leaf spot fungus and shot hole disease can be common problems in this area. We control other insects preventively throughout the year by targeting the times they are most active and the shrubs they are most likely to attack.
During late fall and spring we apply horticultural oil products to control insect eggs and larvae. These applications are like applying a "Pre-emergent" to your trees and shrubs. We can significantly reduce insect damage to your landscape by controlling the insects before they mature into adults and begin to reproduce.
Insect season in Georgia is normally during late spring through early fall. During this time we apply contact and systemic insect and disease control to target your ornamental trees and shrubs at least four times. This again, reduces the damage caused by insects and disease to your trees and shrubs.
We also make sure we take care of the parts of your trees and shrubs that you don't see by injecting slow release fertilizer into the ground around your trees and shrubs. This fertilizer not only feeds your plants the necessary nutrients to allow them to bloom, but also helps to relieve soil compaction.


The Potato is a starchy, tuberous crop. The word potato refers to the plant and the edible tuber. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago and are now an important part of the world's food supply. It is the world's fourth largest food cropfollowing maize, wheat and rice. The single origin of the potato came from Southern Peru and it is believed that all potatoes come from that strain. In Peru they were domesticated between 7000 to 10,000 years ago. There are now over 1,000 different types of potato. It remains an essential crop in Europe. As of 2007, China led the world in potato production.

The rhizomes in these pictures have been dug up to replant. Please note the ends of the rhizomes have been cut back to a solid texture. This removes any rot that is present. If there are new increases as shown in these photos, try to save as much of the rhizome as possible. You must however cut the rhizome back to a solid end. Many people soak the newly dug rhizomes before replanting in a bleach water solution. The mix is 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. You may soak the plants for 30 Minutes. Also the tops are cut back to about 6 inches of leaves remaining. If the roots are long, it is okay to cut those back to 4 inches or so long.
This group of photos shows a growing clump of irises that has developed rot in the center or mother rhizome. The rot is scraped or cut out until solid rhizome remains. After the rot is removed, Comet cleanser is applied by shaking a generous amount to the infected area. If soil has been scrapped back to clean the rot out, it would be okay to leave the soil off for a few days before covering the rhizome again. If the rhizome was already exposed when you started, do not cover it, just leave it exposed.
This group of photos two different clumps that were dug up for replanting. Please note in the finished rhizome pictures, the tops and roots have been cut back and the old rhizomes that do not have green tops have been removed. The old rhizomes with no growth are no good and should be thrown away. Replanting these old rhizomes could promote rot in your beds.


Ministers ‘covering up secret meetings with GM food lobby’: Owen Paterson refused a Freedom of Information request about talks over ‘Frankenfood’ | Philosophers stone:
Ministers are trying to cover up secret briefings with GM companies hoping to push ‘Frankenfood’ on to dinner tables.
Owen Paterson has refused a Freedom of Information Act request to supply details about talks with the GM industry trade body.
The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Secretary has led the charge to encourage a sceptical public to accept genetically modified crops being grown on UK farms and sold in supermarkets.
He has also been lobbying the EU to let Britain grow crops such as GM maize even if they are banned in other countries.
It has emerged that these efforts are being carried out in partnership with the Agricultural Biotechnology Council, which is financed by GM companies such as Monsanto, Syngenta and Bayer CropScience...


The planned McMurray Métis cultural centre at MacDonald Island Park will include a rooftop greenhouse garden, offering a solution to Indigenous food poverty in the Wood Buffalo area while preserving Métis culture.
Designer Genevieve Noel and architect Maginnis Cocivera of the Vancouver-based firm Mindful Architecture said the greenhouse is inspired by Métis farming and gardening.
As many Indigenous communities struggle with access to fresh food, including in the Wood Buffalo area, the greenhouse is being treated as an example of Indigenous food sovereignty and a way to promote culture.
“We’re trying to embrace the culture at its deepest level and are trying to reintegrate it onto MacDonald Island,” said Noel.
The greenhouse will grow fresh fruits and vegetables for nine months out of the year. Noel says the goal is to produce “high-quality, healthy vegetables at a lower cost” than what is offered in Fort McMurray.


Application of hose crimping machine in greenhouse
Greenhouses are also known as greenhouses, which can transmit light and keep heat (or heat), and are used to cultivate plants. In the unsuitable season for plant growth, it can provide growth period and increase yield. It is mostly used in low-temperature seasons such as warming vegetables, flowers, forests and other plant cultivation or seedlings. So we can eat the vegetables we like in winter, and the greenhouse brings great convenience to people.
Greenhouses can be divided into thin film greenhouses, glass greenhouses, and plastic plate greenhouses by material. The most commonly used are plastic greenhouses. The main structure of plastic greenhouses is mainly hot-dip galvanized steel pipe as the main bearing structure, which is produced in factories and installed on site. For the robustness of greenhouses, steel pipes play a crucial role. Due to the different lengths and shapes of steel pipes used, steel pipe plugging is required.
The hose crimping machine uses pressure to reduce the crimping of one steel pipe and insert it with another steel pipe to stabilize the greenhouse skeleton structure. There are two ways to reduce the outer diameter of the steel pipe withholding pressure. One is through thermal deformation, which is to place the steel pipe in a certain temperature environment and use the corresponding tooling to make it smaller. However, this method has high processing cost and low efficiency.
The other is cold extrusion deformation. The performance of our company's hose crimping machine is stable and reliable. It can be crimped steel tubes and the crimped steel tubes are neat in shape, easy to install and disassemble, and the steel tubes can be reused.


I would like to introduce you all to our little garden! We opted for a container garden this year, since we weren’t prepared to dig a garden. Next year we hope to do raised beds, but I guess that depends on how this year goes.
So here is a snapshot tour of our garden as it is so far!
Here it is! This isn’t all we have planned, but this is as far as we’ve gotten for now. We got our bins and our soil at Ollie’s, a discount wonder world here in Chattanooga. Our plants came from Walmart. Discount gardening at it’s best!
(I took this pic this morning) Here are our Boston Pickling Cucumbers and zucchini.
Here are two of our tomato plants, with their pals, Marigolds! We also have two jalapeno plants that are being temporarily housed here until we get another bin. Alcott the cat decided that they would be a good snack, so they needed a little TLC.
We are growing three kinds of tomatoes. A yellow cherry, romas, and a yellow and red tomato called “Mr. Stripey.”
A close-up of a fast friendship!
We had the window boxes already, and they were perfect for our herbs. This one smells AMAZING.
Handsome wanted this one. I didn’t complain!
The cilantro is a pair with the roma tomatoes. Handsome has visions of salsa in our future!
This one is for me! Another one that smells just wonderful. I’m not sure what I will do/make with it yet, but I’m looking forward to figuring that out!
My watering can. I love that I have a watering can!
Ahh, yes. This is what summer should be about.
We still have more we want to do. I really want to grow potatoes. We bought a potato bag, but Walmart was out of red seed potatoes. We will be going back though!
We are also planning to grow garlic. We have a second window box that will be dedicated to garlic.
We love garlic…
I’ll keep you updated as we add more to our little back porch garden. Now I just need to be patient while everything grows!


Caring for your landscape not only involves watering the plants, but also maintaining the garden, trees, grass and other landscape from time to time. While commercial care is done on a very large scale when compared to residential, that doesn’t mean there is any less work involved in residential lawn care. Every lawn requires mowing, removal of weeds, dethatching, aeration, and general maintenance.
Both residential and commercial lawns need equal amount of care. You should mow your lawn but not take off too much at a time, no more than 1/3 of the plant height. So for instance if your grass is 6” tall, no more than 2” should be taken off at a time. The taller the grass, the more it protects the soil from direct sunlight which helps from drying out. Ideally the best height is 3.5” tall. At 3.5” tall, the blade starts to curl which creates a protective canopy, especially during very hot months so it doesn’t dry out.
You should also give more water to plants during the summer, especially during very hot times, to encourage better penetration and growth. Same way, you should keep a track of the fertilizer schedule for your plants. A little care and love will certainly help your lawn look beautiful!

Abstract. Seaweed cultivation has a better advantage over other fisheries activity in terms of easiness on conducting the production and multiplier effect on coastal community welfare. The effect of seaweed farming on the prosperity of coastal community in Southeast Maluku started to take place in 2008, although in 2012 either number of production and workforce is declining rapidly. By solving this problem, this article also provided with identifying and analyzing the supply chain of seaweed cultivation in Southeast Maluku. Based on this analysis we have found that one of the main reasons of declining seaweed production and the number seaweed farmers was asymmetric information that occurred on seaweed supply chain in Southeast Maluku. The component of asymmetric risk was the quality of the seeds, price, information and technology and the knowledge of actual market of seaweed, especially by seaweed farmers. Therefore, it is essential to make a conceptual model on mitigation of asymmetric information on the supply chain of seaweed production. We proposed a conceptual model based on four perspectives, first was goal, criteria and sub-criteria, actor and the solution to mitigate asymmetric information supply chain on seaweed cultivation.

Capsicum is also called Sweet Pepper, Bell Pepper or Shimla Mirch. This capsicum is one of the renowned vegetables grown throughout India. It is a rich source of minerals like Calcium (13.4 mg), Magnesium (14.9 mg), Phosphorus (28.3 mg) Potassium, (263.7 mg) and Vitamin A (8493 IU), Vitamin C (283 mg).
Capsicum is a cool-season crop, but you can grow it round the year using protected structures where temperature and relative humidity (RH) can be manipulated. This crop requires day temperature of 25℃ to 300℃ and night temperature of 18℃ to 200℃ with a relative humidity of 50-60%. If the temperature exceeds 350℃ or falls below 120℃, this capsicum will be affected.
Capsicum farming needs various equipment, which plays a significant role in the processing of agriculture. Tractors, implements, and harvesters are the core of farming. Therefore, we suggest the Massey Ferguson tractor that enhances efficiency in the field. Apart from this, you can use the Massey Ferguson Tractor.
Process of the Capsicum Cultivation in India
Here below, you can get information for capsicum cultivation that can be helpful in farming.
Capsicum Cultivation – Suitable Soil
Farmers can grow capsicum on alluvial soil, peat soil. However, it yields good if they grow in soil with texture sandy soil, clay soil, and highly porous pH 6.0 to 7.0.
It gives the best result when farmers grow it under sandy loam soil, having a good drainage system and high fertility.
Capsicum Cultivation – Land Preparation
When farmers cultivate the capsicum, then they should remove it from the bed surface in the fields. And farmers should make the soil well friable, 5-6 ploughing and then planking. At land preparation, farmers mix the FYM (farmyard manure) or compost to the soil. Then, at the time of transplanting, farmers should irrigate beds and keep them wet.
Capsicum Cultivation – Climate Information
The best climatic conditions required for capsicum are high humidity, and the required temperature should be between 21℃ to 30℃ with average rainfall between 60 cm up to 120 cm.
Capsicum is a cool-season crop, and a day temperature below 30℃ is favourable for growth and yield. Low night temperatures are favourable for flowering and fruiting.
Capsicum Cultivation – Sowing Methods
- Low tunnel technology:
Farmers use this technique for the early production of capsicum in early summer. It helps protect the crop from the cold season, i.e. from December to the middle of February.
Farmers sow the beds of 2.5 m width in December. For sowing the seed, they should keep the space row to row is 130 cm.
Supporting rods of length 45-60 cm is fixed in the soil before sowing. Cover the field with a plastic sheet (100 gauge thickness) with the help of a support rod. Plastic sheets should be removed mainly in February when the temperature outside is suitable.
- Dibbling Method:
Farmers sow it with the help of a small instrument called a ‘dibbler. First, they press the frame into the fields and lift, and then they drop one or two seeds into each hole by hand.
Capsicum Cultivation – Irrigation Methods
- Add acid to the water tank to lower the water’s pH, then use the water for irrigation and spraying.
- Immediately after planting, starting the first shower requires irrigation; after a few days, using drip irrigation will help in the plant’s root development.
- Typically, one dripper is required per plant. Drip irrigation offers 2-4 ltr of water per square meter, depending on the season. In hot summers, you can use the foggers to maintain the humidity of the air.
- Observe the soil column for irrigation and check the moisture content of the soil. Next, determine the amount of irrigation required.
- In the summer season, apply water to the sides of the bed using the shower frequently to reduce evaporator damage. For this purpose, provision should make for a water outlet (1″ diameter pipe) inside the greenhouse.
- Always water the plant from noon onwards.
- The air humidity should not exceed 90-92% as it tends to spoil the fruit.
- You should use fresh water for irrigation in a crop. Do not store water for 4- 5 days.
Capsicum Cultivation – Fertilizer Requirement
- Farmers apply fertilizer three weeks after the vegetative stage N:P: K:1:1:1 (e.g., 19:19:19).
- Fertilize and yield often in small amounts for optimum results. However, always be careful to meet the requirements of the crop.
- Farmers must give Micronutrients (e.g., Combi II, Microscope B, Sequel, Rexolin and Mahabrexil @ 40 g per 1000 L of water) daily weekly as per symptoms.
- Apply organic manure with an EC of less than 2 ms/cm every three months to maintain appropriate C: N ratio.
- Check soil expanses every two to three months to determine specific plants.
Best Practices for Capsicum Cultivation
- Farmers should weed and hoe at proper intervals for a good yield of the crop.
- Adding soil 2-3 weeks after transplanting will help in removing weeds from the fields. The first weeding after 30 days of transplanting, and the second, after 60 days of transplanting.
- Avoid heavy use of nitrogenous fertilizers.
- Farmers grow the capsicum in nursery beds for cultivation. First, they prepare the seedbeds of 300 x 60 x 15 cm for growing seedlings. Next, farmers sow the seeds in nursery beds, and after sowing the nursery, they cover the beds with a thin layer of soil compost.
- Light irrigation is necessary after sowing the seeds in the bed for optimum germination of seeds. Then, they transplant it when the seedlings have attained 4-5 leaves. Farmers transplanting mainly in the evening in cloudy weather. For transplanting, mainly 50-60 old plants are used.
- To avoid sunburn, plant seedlings at close distances, grow varieties with abundant foliage and grow crops with high density.
- Preventing the drop of fruits and flowers, apply light and frequent irrigation at the flowering and fruiting stage.
- Avoid the blossom end rot, apply light irrigation regularly, and find soil with good water holding capacity.
All the processing of capsicum farming, tractors and tools are the most necessary in farming. We suggest the Ace tractor because this tractor is appreciable for all Indian farmers.
For more information regarding capsicum cultivation and any other cultivation, stay tuned with us.


Is it possible to have the garden even living in an apartment? In fact, as is well known, the land for a garden in an apartment as not possible due to a limited extent.
However, there is no word impossible if the intention was made to get the green areas even very limited extent. Prof Wee Yeow Chin's research, scientists in Singapore Trees proved, every tree in an area can provide a supply of oxygen and also reduce carbon dioxide pollution in the vicinity.
Needs to reduce carbon dioxide around the dwelling can be anticipated to grow plants, including the vertical occupancy. Generally, on a small tree with an area of 37.5 square meter can produce as much oxygen as 0.425 pounds per hour, and reduce carbon dioxide as much as 0.575 pounds per hour.
Meanwhile, medium-sized tree has an area of 75 square meters can produce as much oxygen as 0.85 pounds per hour and reduce carbon dioxide as much as 1.115 pounds per hour. Large tree with an area of 150 square meters of 1.7 kilograms per hour of oxygen and reduce carbon dioxide was 2.3 kilogram per hour.
So, how to create a garden in an apartment?
You can use the balcony area usually measuring 1 meter x 1.5 meter. Indeed, in this area is not possible to plant large trees or woody plants. But, instead, you can plant smaller plants or vines.
However, you should be sure to choose plants with easy and simple maintenance such as watering pretty regularly. The species of plants to choose from are lightweight, easily grown vertically, as well as effectively resist dust.
As for some types of plants you can choose the Vernonia elaeafnifolia or familiarly called Creeper curtain. In addition, there are morning glory, mandevilla and cat tears.
Not just flowers, because the vegetables can you plant in the garden area is called a vertical garden. Choice of vegetables in this garden include onions, spinach, kale, caisim, pakcoy, beans or tomatoes.
To grow in height as a balcony, at least you need to prepare a planting medium light but reliable power. Light of factors required for the position of the high balcony, and is unable to withstand heavy loads. Growing media such as coconut shells that have been dried, rockwool, styrofoam, and chaff can be your choice.

I brought up a discussion topic in the Facebook group Antique Iron Mafia not long ago. We were debating smaller tractors. Are they deemed tractors or lawn and garden tractors?
Many different ideas were presented. Row crop tractors can be used to mow, but lawn tractors can’t necessarily be used in a row crop application. That’s a good point, so where is the line drawn?
Many manufacturing brands have built lessor horse power tractors in a smaller stature since the 40s. Older farms didn’t till as many acres as modern operations do now. 160 acres would seem pretty daunting to cover with a two or three bottom plow though. So why a 12 to 18 horse power one bottom capability?
Simply, lawn & garden tractors are two different types of tractors! There is lawn tractors and then there are garden tractors. Sure there are more modern units classified as both all in one. The garden tractor has been a part of our heritage far longer though.
Garden tractors came in demand during and after WW2. They were built to work BIG gardens. Their popularity made working the bigger plots far easier. Garden tractors tend to have a row crop capable stature. Farmall may have built a Cub, but it was a bear of a worker. There were many tillage tools available for the handy machine. Allis Chalmers built a rear engine model that had the implements right at the operator’s feet
Lawn tractors came in to popularity in the early 60s. This type of machine had a more urban focus as the yards grew bigger. There were late 50s model lawn tractors built by companies like Bolens, Wheel Horse, and Simplicity, but these companies were building garden tractors before then. Making a mowing attachment available was easy.
IH starting building their Cub Cadet in 1961. John Deere wasn’t to far behind making a lawn tractor available. Colt Manufacturing built a lawn tractor in the early 60s until Case bought the company in 1965. Its interesting to note how all the major tractor brands had lawn tractors built branded in their names. Many of the L&G models imitate the larger tractors looks.
Just like in the Blues Brothers movie. We have both kinds here… lawn and garden!


Over the past few months, Europe has experienced a significant surge in farmer protests that have led to major travel disruption. Protest action has been reported in France, Germany, Greece, Poland, Ireland, Switzerland, Portugal and several other countries across the continent. The most common reasons for the protests are rising costs, cheap imports from foreign countries and heavy regulation. These reasons are also accompanied by country-specific local issues like the requirement to reduce nitrogen emissions in the Netherlands and plans to tax agricultural diesel in Germany.
EU Summit in Brussels
On 1 February, a Special European Summit was held at the European Quarter of Brussels to discuss the mid-term revision of the EU’s budget for 2021-2027. The agriculture sector and farmers were not a planned talking point at the summit. However, joint protest action by farmers of several countries forced the topic to the forefront. Farmers from France, Belgium, Italy, Greece and Germany marched along their tractors to the summit venue. They threw eggs at the European Parliament, burned tires and lit bonfires. After meetings with EU leaders, French farmer unions urged protestors to go home but warned of further consequences if promises were not kept.
While rising costs of living and farmers’ costs are the most obvious causes of the unrest and dissatisfaction, imports from Ukraine and climate issues are the most pressing ones.
Import of agricultural produce and other materials from foreign countries became a major problem due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. After the war broke out, the European Union waived several quotas and duties to allow cheap imports from Ukraine. Farmers in Poland and Romania organised months-long blockades at their borders with Ukraine. The farmers called for Ukrainian produce to be exported in the Asian or African markets, instead of Europe. French farmers also expressed dissatisfaction over cheaper imports from countries like New Zealand and Chile.
Climate change is a major issue and a growing concern for both governments and farmers. The farming sector constitutes 11 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions of the EU. In an attempt to make the bloc climate neutral by 2050, it has several planned policies. This includes requiring farmers to reduce fertiliser usage,implement crop rotations and devote some land to non-productive features among other requirements. According to the farmers, these requirements may make them less competitive against imports from foreign countries. The demand to farm sustainably coupled with the demand for cheap produce is the crux of the problem faced by European farmers and decision-makers.
The farmers have called for increased economic protection and reduced regulatory constraints. The European governments have responded to these demands with a variety of measures. The French government pledged €150 million aid to the farmers, cancelled a planned diesel tax increase and delayed several planned measures. The German government amended its plans to cut diesel subsidies. The Greek government announced an extension to the special tax rebate on agricultural diesel by one more year. The European Commission has proposed limiting imports from Ukraine. It has also announced a delay to the rules requiring farmers to keep 4 percent of their land free from crop production to encourage soil health and biodiversity.
To conclude, while the farmer unions in France have called off their protests, action continues in other countries across Europe. Despite some concessions by the governments, farmers claim their demands have not been addressed. The underlying structural issues of European agriculture, including the need for sustainable farming practices and fair competition in global markets, remain unresolved. A solution will require a balance between promoting environmental sustainability, ensuring economic viability for farmers, and safeguarding food security for the citizens.


G'Day all and welcome!
There's an exciting local food scene here in Tasmania, and the #tassivore movement is an integral part of it.
A campaign largely circulated by social media, it's all about encouraging people to grow their own food, share and barter with their neighbors, and to participate in community gardens and projects.
We are currently in Autumn and preparing for the cold Winter, starting some brassicas in seed raising pots. It's a favourite activity of my daughter, since it means getting to play in the dirt!

The topic of agriculture and its role in industrial and urban development has long been studied by economic ing to Nam, Dang and Hainsworth (), there are three important theoretical schools that have been particularly influential after World War II, and which differ considerably in the ways by which each presents the relationship between agriculture and industry, in. The Industrial Revolution took many ideas of the Scientific Revolution and applied them directly to the daily life of individuals. The Industrial Revolution began and was impelled forward by Great Britain. This was due to several circumstances. Britain's Enclosure Movement and advances in the agricultural revolution freed up large amounts of labor.

Agricultural processing involves both scientific and traditional manipulation of agricultural produce so as to make it to be more useful and be able to store them for future uses.
Processing Techniques. Over the course of industrialization, markets for food and agricultural products have become increasingly concentrated.

b) Industrial Crops and Products is a crop oriented journal; these can be field crops, horticultural crops, or forest crops, but they must be managed, not just collected natural stands.
The focus should be on agricultural production as an end result. Plant products, tied to specific crops/plants, and their modification to meet new industrial uses.While the exports of industrial crop-based products (for instance crude palm oil, natural rubber, and cocoa products) provide trade surplus, it is not the case for food, feed or livestock, and almost all of the agricultural inputs (such as seeds, breeds, agricultural machines, and labor).agricultural commodities as industrial raw materials.

Allow me to introduce you to Solango Kakembo, a farmer from Kikandwa, a rural village about 80 kilometers west of the capital of Uganda. This enchanting gentleman built his small house overlooking the rolling African landscape at the edge of the fields that he and his family tend. His home sits near the center of the farming community, adjacent to the primary school built and operated by the Kikandwa Environmental Association (KEA). Kakembo volunteers his knowledge and experience on behalf of KEA, provides harvested seeds along with advice, and raises seedlings for the Half + Half Reforestation project at the core of KEA’s mission.
Kakembo is a vital resource to his community, but like most smallholder farmers he has not been able to share his expertise, especially as it relates to climate change, with a broader audience. He faces language and technology barriers. KEA has attracted international attention from nonprofits interested in preserving and sharing sustainable farming innovations, including A Growing Culture and The Pollination Project, but his valuable experience has not been fully documented. We traveled to Uganda to study the environmental benefits of sustainable farming and Kakembo shared the highlights of his knowledge. I want to tell you his story.
Agriculture accounts for more than 70% of employment in Uganda. Smallholder farmers provide most of the country’s food at a low cost; feeding the population reduces the risk for revolt. For many years Kakembo tried to compete with other commercial farmers, growing one or two crops at a time using chemical inputs to increase his yield, including fertilizers and pesticides. Over time he saw his yield decline, requiring additional and more expensive chemicals that were destroying organic nutrients in his soil in the same way that chemotherapy cannot target cancer cells over healthy cells. Kakembo developed respiratory problems which he attributed to the use of chemicals. To continue doing what he loved, being a farmer, he had to find a more sustainable approach.
As a child Kakembo had learned from his grandmother the art of seed preservation, land and water management, natural ways to deter pests, and which plants should be grown together. He decided to return to his grandparent’s village to start over and use her traditional methods. Kakembo continues to tailor her approach to respond to the impacts of climate change, notably the disruption in the water cycle. He focuses on preserving local varieties, especially those that perform well during drought, and uses mulching and animal manure to preserve ground moisture while cultivating the soil with organic material.
The village of his grandparents, Kikandwa, had also had a bad experience with commercial farming. Most of the region had been deforested using slash and burn to grow a single type of banana that was distilled into liquor. Farmers had not been growing crops for subsistence and the bananas were susceptible to banana wilt, compromising fields of trees. Food scarcity and theft between neighbors had been common.
Kakembo joined KEA, which was engaging local farmers to diversify their crops and use sustainable farming methods to improve the economy and quality of life for the community. They began with a reforestation project to create micro-environments that attracted biodiversity, reduced soil erosion from wind and water runoff, retained moisture in the soil, and provided shade from the equatorial sun. These areas were successfully established more than a decade ago along the borders between plots and on land that farmers had intentionally set aside. The benefits of reforestation were most evident during droughts, when farmers with forests performed better than those without. Interest in reforestation has grown as droughts have become more common and prolonged.
Kakembo shared his concern that commercially available seeds provided inconsistent germination; an expensive gamble. Instead he uses his grandmother’s technique for seed preservation. The first step is to set aside some of the best crops from each harvest to continuously improve the quality of each subsequent harvest. The seeds must be consistent in size and shape. For instance he will take only kernels from the center of an ear of corn, using the smaller kernels for animal feed or corn flour. It takes 120 ears of corn to provide enough seed for 1 acre. The seeds are sun-dried or smoked, and can be preserved up to 6 months. He preserves heritage seeds, protecting the local varieties and improving biodiversity.
He experiments with different soils and growing conditions to test varieties, particularly for drought-resistance. He and his neighbors are dependent on rain for irrigation. Drawing water manually from the distant well is a labor intensive practice saved only for the worst droughts. The farms of Kikandwa are on slopes of varying grades, and the rainy season has been shorter and increasingly inconsistent over the past 5-10 years. Water must be preserved in the soil between rain events, which is done through a combination of mulching, terracing to slow runoff, and irrigation canals to capture water. The reforestation project has also slowed runoff, provided a means of water sequestration, and the trees “breathe” water back into the air through transpiration.
Smallholder farmers average around 2-5 acres of land to farm. Intercropping is possible since most of the work is done by hand. Kakembo highlighted the importance of raising varieties of the same crop, such as different types of beans, potatoes, yams and bananas, in the same season. The crops mature a different rates, have varying resources needs, variety protects against pestilence, and allows the farmer to have successful crops if one fails. Additionally, some crops partner well, for instance maize (corn) and beans; corn depletes the soil of nitrogen while beans replenish it.
Kakembo’s knowledge of traditional farming methods combined with agricultural innovation, known as agroecology, can help solve several sustainable issues facing the world. How to produce low-cost food without sacrificing the environment; large scale farms with significant chemical inputs are not sustainable and are polluting the soil and waterways. Smallholder farmers like those in Kikandwa are stepping up to the challenge, and adapting to climate change, every day. To continue doing the arduous work of farming and remain successful in providing up to 70% of the world’s produce, they need to be helped with sharing knowledge and resources. Farmers will benefit by having a steady source of nourishment and entrepreneurial employment with purpose, and the community benefits with affordable and healthier produce.

How to Grow Your Own Flowers and Sell Them
You can grow the best gardens and even sell the things you grow.
Start by setting aside some space in your yard to have a garden. It should be in a sunny area where the soil isn't too moist.
Decide what you want to grow and sell: Plants or cut flowers?
Decide whether you want to be an organic grower or whether you want to use pesticides and other chemicals. Growing organically will support your local wildlife, ie. bees, butterflies, and birds, all of which are important for maintaining a healthy ecosystem, and especially, for pollination. Using chemicals will help keep costs down, and save time. It will cost you your "organic" label though.

2018, the year of the sunshine and heat. For us it was the year of the tomato !
The beginning of the year was snowy and cold, which meant digging and getting the plot ready for what we wanted was almost impossible but then the weather changed in quite a dramatic fashion, from frost and snow to tropical temperatures and hose pipe bans.
At the start of the year we had a few very large beds, which I found difficult to manage and wanted to make into smaller, easier to work from all sides without walking over. However with the lack of time it was easier to leave a few covered and just work on half the plot.
A couple of these we sectioned off and two we left and planted rows of potatoes, let them do the hard work for us.
The first things to be planted where the garlic, onions and shallots. However we lost 3 patches of garlic to the fox, who very strangely kept digging it up. The sweetcorn vanished, probably mice but then a few months later sweetcorn appeared and grew in a totally different bed on the plot, so maybe they just borrowed it ! I was given some Brussels sprouts and broccoli seedling plants from a neighbouring plot holder, neither of us had ever grown these before, so we just put them in and watered along with everything else and bingo, it worked.
Everything in the greenhouse went bonkers, the tomatoes produced so many that we haven’t bought any over six months and still have a freezer full. The chillies also over produced and even giving bunches away we’ve got enough to last another year. I made a mistake of planting a few too many courgette plants and we had so many that my mum made a few trips to my Auntie’s cafe with them, as well as giving them away to friends and neighbours.
I got a couple of pumpkin plants and a butternut squash, neither of which I had grown before, but thought they would fill a large area easily and anything they produced would be a bonus. And produce they did, we got enough pumpkins for a decent Halloween carving plus one small butternut squash, which feels more like a family member than a food stuff.
We put in two ponds (one preformed plastic one, and one an old bath) and started planting flowers and bushes around to encourage wildlife into the plot. The fencing was rescued from a skip as the church next door was having it replaced. It’s in good condition and just needed attaching.
I also found two rose bushes that have been planted for sentimental reasons. One for Phil and the other for my family.
Yellow roses symbolise love, joy and friendship. Pink roses symbolise admiration and grace. So the names and colours are very apt. Oscar’s sunflowers were beautiful, they were the small multi-headed variety and they flowered right up until November.
At the end of September, once the main bulk of the growing was over, we get spent a few weeks of hard work and started separating the beds into smaller patches and wood-chipping the paths. There’s still quite a bit to do, but it’s looking more manageable and the plans for 2019 are coming along well.
Lets hope for another great growing year ahead.

What's great about this light is that I can lower or raise it depending upon my needs. Seedlings need close, intense, directed light and as the plants grow, I can simply raise the light. Even with plants of different heights, the light can be adjusted accordingly.
Other than needing four feet of space to place this, I really can't think of a down side to the Hydrofarm Jump Start Light. If four feet is too big, there is a two foot model available and if you need more, there is an extension kit to provide additional height as well.
I have an awesome south facing window that provides sunshine all day, but as the daylight hours have lengthened and its intensity has increased, some of my cool weather plants have been getting too much heat. The Hydrofarm light system provides the perfect balance of light and heat. It also has full-spectrum light for flowering and non-flowering plants.
With reasonably priced models such as this, if you want to grow food year round, there really is no reason why you can't. One suggestion though: Prices are at their peak right now as gardeners are attempting to get seeds started inside. You will probably find better prices in the summer months when we are all gardening outdoors.

The Sciacca family has been farming in the Mourilyan area for over 100 years, diversifying into many different crops through the years.
We first started growing Arabica coffee in the 1980’s to see how it would grow commercially as it had been grown successfully way back in the 1900’s. After growing the coffee trees to berry stage, we found that when mature was of superior quality. Owing to various reason we diversified into bananas which we successfully grew for many years but still kept interest in the coffee.
We then started growing coffee commercially in 2000 with our two sons Steven and Joseph planting approximately 130 acres but unfortunately when the coffee beans were ready to be harvested, mother nature sent us cyclone Larry, which completely devastated the plantation. Being determined farmers we replanted the trees and all was going well until cyclone Yasi hit. So again we replanted the trees that were completely ruined and cut the ones whose roots were not badly damaged down to almost ground level. The plantation is now at a certain percentage of production and hopefully it should be producing 100% by 2015. We have bought our own Korvan Coffee Harvester, Hulling, Drying Plant and a Roaster.
Our coffee is grown in rich alluvial soil on the banks of the beautiful South Johnstone River, and this is what gives our coffee its sweetness of taste seldom found in other coffees. We have stunning views of the river and the mountains so we have built a coffee shop on the farm overlooking the river, the sunset over the mountain is magnificent. We will be selling coffee from our shop, also catering for groups to have morning, afternoon teas, lunch and dinners if required, all to a set menu of basically Sicilian Cuisine.
These are by appointment only. Our coffee is single origin and freshly roasted by our master roaster according to orders.

So, you have decided to utilize cannabis in your life in some way or another. No matter what your reason is, be it for medicine or recreational use, you have decided that growing your own plants is going to be the method that you obtain it, and regardless if that is because of the laws in your region or because you simply want to avoid the retail taxes, it makes sense that you want to have the fastest return on your investment. Establishing a steady crop can take a lot of time and energy, perhaps time and energy that you do not have given your pre-existing commitments.
Cannabis and CBD Vape Oil
A cursory search into growing your own cannabis will lead you right to the doorstep of auto flowering cannabis, and if you have decided to go down this path, it is guaranteed that you know that the flower is the part that you really want from the plant the buds from this make the best CBD Vape UK Oil. Just what exactly is this intriguing option for the burgeoning cannabis farmer, then? What are auto flowering seeds exactly, and how do they work? Why would you pick them over any other type of seed to start your crop from, assuming you are not electing to start from clones?
Auto flowering or feminized cannabis seeds are seeds from a variety of strains of cannabis. They germinate and are ready for harvest at their full capacity within ten weeks of being planted. Of this family of cannabis seeds, there are two further subtypes, the dwarf variants and the “super autos”. Dwarf auto flowering seeds will be short in stature and grow fast, but they will easily make up for it in harvestable yield. Super autos, on the other hand, can take up to 100 days to mature, which puts them almost out of the family of auto flowering seeds, and can reach heights of up to six feet tall. Both types, however, are considered to be auto flowering cannabis because they will automatically switch from what any layman would know as the sprouting and growing stage of a plant’s life into the flowering stage based on age instead of light cycle. Not only does this make their flowering cycles rapid, but it makes auto flowering seeds a perfect choice for the new grower. Getting light/dark cycles right on even the most easygoing strains is a delicate science that master growers sometimes struggle with, and getting it wrong can mean losing an entire crop or severely degrading the quality of your harvest.
The auto flowering hybrid strains are a fairly recent development in the cannabis field. While the exact origins of auto flowering seeds are unknown, most auto flowering cannabis strains contain genetics from Cannabis ruderalis. To get even more specific, the strain of ruderalis used was thought to be a Mexican variant known as Mexican Rudy. This strain was half of the parentage of what is looked at as being the original auto flowering seed; Lowryder. (The other half is up for debate between a Russian ruderalis strain and a Finnish strain known as Finola.)
Lowryder was the first mass market auto flowering cannabis seed, but in the years since its introduction into the market, plenty of breeders have worked their magic on the strain, which does not have the best reputation for quality despite being the cornerstone of a revolutionary innovation in the cannabis industry. This strain has been further bred out with numerous other strains to create countless hybrid auto flowering seeds on the market of various potencies, but still, most auto flowering seeds will cap out in the low 20% range for THC vape pen. With this being said, many auto flowering strains are also very high in CBD Oil, which makes auto flowering seeds a great choice for a new grower who is looking to provide themselves with their own medicine.
The benefits of auto flowering cannabis seeds are mostly obvious; the automatic switch into flowering eases a new grower into the process while minimizing risk. The short grow cycle means that a grower can harvest twice in the same time frame that he might have only been able to harvest once out of growing from seed that was not of the auto flowering variety. The cases of super autos notwithstanding, their generally short stature means that they can be kept in stealth gardens better than strains that are reliant upon light/dark cycling to enter the flowering stage of their development. (As an aside, super autos are of the satvia auto flowering cannabis strains only.
They were developed to satisfy a niche of the grower market that was interested in auto flowering seeds, but wanted plants that had more of a photocycle feel to them. Although their life span is longer than other varieties of auto flowering seeds, this does mean that the plants have more time to mature, which, if the grower maximizes on, will mean a larger harvest overall and better quality product, assuming the grower has been pinching and trimming throughout their grow cycle.)
CBD GUMMIES from Isolates
However, the benefits of auto flowering cannabis seeds do not stop there. Their short grow cycle makes them hardy in numerous ways; they do not need separate environments for their vegetative stage and their flowering stage, making them ideal to make isolates from which are then used to make great products like CBD fx Gummies which have been voted as the best CBD Gummies UK. The cannabis seed production is straightforward; from one, comes many, and one auto flowering cannabis seed can produce several hundred more seeds just like itself when the plant stands only one foot tall. The short life span of these plants means you can squeeze grow cycles into short summers, making auto flowering strains more flexible and hardy than other strains environmentally. Lastly, the final buff that their short grow cycle has given them is that the overall hardy nature of a plant that matures that quickly (and no matter what, since it is not light/dark dependent) permeates its genetics, and these plants can generally be grown outside in an urban environment. This is a big deal because the ambient lighting that is present on city streets can regularly stress a traditional cannabis strain being grown outdoors, which is part of why many urban or suburban growers opt for indoor soil or hydroponic grows versus outdoor grows, despite outdoor planting generally being an easier learning curve.
There you have it – auto flowering cannabis seeds are a great choice for the newbie grower, a grower that just does not have a lot of resources at their fingertips at the time, or simply a grower who desires a quicker pace. They’re definitely worthy of a spotlight of consideration as you move forward in establishing your harvesting cycles and identity within the growing community.

Welcome to our annual Sustainable Agriculture Issue. Given the importance of this globally vital topic, we’ve made this a double issue. I am always learning from our writers and in this issue I learned that 70 percent of water use in many parts of the U.S. is by the Agriculture sector. Do let us know what you learn as you dig into this issue on Food, Farming and Finance.
Speaking of water, our March issue on “The Future of Water" is still accessible here. As GreenMoney wraps up its 25th Anniversary Year, founder Cliff Feigenbaum gives a wide-ranging interview on The Wealth Confidant Podcast with its host John Christianson, of Highland Private Wealth Mgmt.
Slow Money founder Woody Tasch addresses economics, food, and politics in his newest book, SOIL: Notes Towards the Theory and Practice of Nurture Capital. He explains nurture capital as a vision of finance that begins where investing and philanthropy end, “giving us a new way to reconnect to one another and places where we live, all the way down to local food systems and the soil.” Weaving poetry, prose and photography into a compelling vision, Tasch aims to answer the question: How can we fix what’s broken in our economy and our country through the entry point of local food systems?

The Domaine de la Vougeraie has just obtained Ecocert certification for the entire estate of 34 hectares of vines, cultivated totally organically since its creation in 1999. A first 19 hectares had already received the certification, but for administrative reasons, the remaining 15 have only just qualified.
Ecocert is a control and certification body, whose activities are governed by the public authorities and legislation. Ecocert is accredited by the French National Institute for Origins and Quality.
Three years of uninterrupted organic cultivation are necessary to obtain the certification and total transparency is essential. Random soil samples are taken a minimum of once a year, and both soil and/or leaves are analyzed to check for the absence of any residue. In parallel, administrative checks are made to match up purchased products with the land.
Of course, no pesticides may be used with this kind of cultivation, only exclusively organic, plant-based products, natural hormones (pheromones having a harmful effect on butterfly reproduction), or natural micro fauna such as bacteria which attack grape berry and vine moths. Thus, there is greater biodiversity of fauna, such as an increased presence of ladybirds, which is very good for this fragile equilibrium.
In phytosanitary terms, synthetic products are banned, and only copper and sulfur are permitted, although the current maximum authorized usage of 8kg/hectare will be reduced to 6kg/hectare from 2010, which is approximately the current level used at the Domaine.
Organic cultivation is a more costly operation than using traditional methods. Subscriptions to the relevant bodies, the high price of treatments and above all, labor costs must be taken into consideration. Indeed, because the work done on the land is preventative and not curative, it is essential to maintain healthy, well aerated vines. This requires constant observation and a well-trained workforce, and the regular application of green practices at every stage, including évasivage (removing excess buds after flowering) and relevage (tying up the vine shoots) to prevent the formation of pockets of damp.
Indeed, this approach that so respects the environment has really shown its worth in this difficult year where organic producers have had an easier time of things thanks to the frequency of their checks and treatments, compared to a more systematic chemical approach which takes less account of the weather. And the weather is a critical factor in organic cultivation, because just 20mm of rainfall washes away any treatment.
After eight years of organic cultivation, the Domaine de la Vougeraie vignoble has shown significant improvement. The vines are more resistant and their immune system has been strengthened through the use of natural infusions.
Moreover, starting with the 2007 harvest, the Domaine will be adding an organic logo to its rear labels, in response to a growing demand. It should be noted that this is a relatively rare occurrence, because although 3-5% of Burgundy producers claim to be organic, only 2% have official certification, so spread the word!
Moving towards organic cultivation is one of Boisset’s global philosophies. Indeed, the vines at Bonpas have this year gone over to organic cultivation, and are now worked following the lunar calendar, and the same spirit is also driving a green strategy at the Château de Pierreux. In California, DeLoach Vineyards has been applying biodynamic principles since 2004, with the aim of becoming certified, and in Canada, Le Clos Jordanne has been organically certified since 2006.


We are down to the last of the apples. As we started to run low I actually carried a step ladder out to the garden to get the higher ones down. That’s quite a commitment to this farming life (in my book). I have put the last few in the cold store, with the pumpkins. It’s not really necessary, they keep fine in the kitchen, but I quite like the theatre of going out to the old farm cold store. I still haven’t got over how cool it is to have such a place.
4 x large apples, peeled, cored and chopped into big chunks,
2 x Persimmon, peeled, cored and chopped into big chunks
A handful of frozen blueberries (if you happen to have some around)
50g butter, cut into small cubes
1 cup ground almonds
1 cup of mixed ground seeds and shredded coconut (pumpkin / flax / sunflower etc)
1 tpsn of coconut sugar (or brown sugar if you don’t have coconut)
Put the fruit in an over dish with a splash of water.
Chop the butter into the ground almonds and then rub together to make a breadcrumb texture. Mix with the ground seeds, coconut and sugar.
Sprinkle over the fruit.
Bake of around an hour on 180.

Your quick guide to European Organic Farming
The European organic farming is an agricultural method that aims to produce food using natural substances and processes.
Additionally, organic farming rules encourage a high standard of animal welfare and require farmers to meet the specific behavioral needs of animals.
The most reliable way to recognize if a product is organic and produced in Europe, is if it includes this official EU logo.
The white leaf on a green background means that EU rules on production, processing, handling and distribution, have been followed and that the product contains at least 95% organic ingredients. This European logo can only be used on products that have been certified by an authorized control agency or body. Some European countries have also created their own organic logos.
Building trust in European Organic Farming
In order for farmers to derive benefits from organic farming methods, consumers need to trust that the rules on organic production are being followed. Therefore, the EU maintains the following strict system of control and enforcement to guarantee that organics rules and regulations are being followed properly.


Jim, Donna, William, Daniel, Elizabeth, and David Pacheco.
230 Acres in Petaluma, about 47 miles from the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.
Jim Pacheco is a third-generation dairyman, who runs the farm with his son, William, along with the rest of the family. Donna is the cheese maker. The Pachecos raise 500 goats and 50 cows (aka the “girls”) who roam freely on their 230 acres, along with horses, sheep, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, and ducks.
All of the milk produced on the ranch goes into making Achadinha’s farmstead cheeses. The girls are pastured year round; their food is supplemented with hay and brewer’s grain from two local breweries. No pesticides or hormones are used. The flavors of the cheeses change based on the season and what the girls are eating.
All the goats are milked by machine. In keeping with their award-winning formula, goat milk is first pasteurized then separated into curds and whey with vegetarian rennet. The curds are collected and formed into balls by hand (Capricious), or for their Broncha cheese, formed using a mold. The feta, which Donna makes by hand, is cured in a sea salt brine. To ensure quality, the whole process is done on site and by family members.
For their sausage, Jim and Donna only use older goats that have passed their milking age. The summer sausage is made by Taylor Sausage, in Oregon, a USDA-approved facility.
The Pachecos strongly believe in the importance of knowing where our food comes from. Farm tours are recommended.
An on-site spring is used for both drinking water for goats and irrigation water for fields.
Whey is fed to baby goats to increase their butterfat. The manure from the goats is used in their fields and personal gardens. Their goats produce so much manure that Jim and Donna are going to start composting for future sales. Any cheese that does not meet their standards is fed to their pigs.
According to the Pachecos, it’s the goats and cows who run the farm, not Jim, Donna, and William.
