Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) is the largest irrigation district in Idaho, covering 69,000 acres and serving 100,000 water users. Over recent decades, its area has undergone a dramatic process of urbanization, necessitating the construction of a pressure urban irrigation system. It also went through the title transfer process with the Bureau of Reclamation during the 1980s and 1990s, acquiring title to its infrastructure and helping to shape the title transfer process along the way. In this interview, outgoing NMID Secretary-Treasurer and Secretary of the Board Daren Coon takes a look back at his long career at the district and provides us with the insights he has gained along…

Cuttings are an ever-so slightly magical part of gardening. What could be more wondrous than cutting off a small piece of a plant as big as a tree, propping it in some compost and watching a whole new plant develop? There is, of course, no magic, just a simple scientific process, but that never stops it feeling special.
Taking cuttings belongs to a group of techniques known as vegetative propagation, along with division and more advanced techniques such as budding, grafting and micro-propagation. A cutting is genetically identical to its parent plant and this allows a desirable trait to be multiplied again and again.
The most famous example of vegetatively propagated plants is surely the Hass Avocado a cultivar grown from seed. Grown now across the globe, and is essentially just one seedling grown by Rudolph Hass in 1962 which is now grown by grafting, so that any new plants are just copies from the ideal mother tree. Owing to its taste, size, shelf-life, high growing yield and in some areas, year-round harvesting, the Hass cultivar is the most commercially popular avocado worldwide.
While this creates a wonderfully uniform product that tastes the same wherever you go and is easy to pack, what happens if a new avocado disease appears that solely targets the Hass Avocado. Which plants will be different enough to develop some resistance?
Compare the technique of taking cutting with that of raising a new plant from seed. Here, the plant’s DNA is allowed to express itself and genetic variety creeps in, so that a plant raised from seed has every chance of being distinctly different to its parent, also known as plant diversity or seedling variation.
So why does the humble gardener take cuttings? To provide an insurance policy against winter cold killing tender, experimental plants, speed up fruiting, to regenerate old trees and shrubs that are no longer growing successfully and to multiply desirable plants for free.


Methods For Using A Bountiful And Productive Garden
Every gardener hopes for developing a thriving garden. For some, this is a reality, for a few it isn’t. In order to achieve your ideal of the beautiful garden, there are several things to learn. Gardening might be a lots of work, but it can also be loads of fun. The next article will provide you with advice to produce gardening entertaining.
Clay soil makes by using a shovel difficult. The clay is difficult and sticks for the shovel. Coat and buff the digging end from the shovel with automobile wax to create digging easier. This causes the clay to slip as opposed to stick, and prevents rust as being a complication.
All soil is not the identical. You need to look into the soil to be certain it’s the most effective for what you’re planting. You can obtain a soil analysis for any nominal fee. Using that report, you are able to amend your soil when needed for the thriving garden. You can often find Cooperative Extension offices which provide the service, that can help to create your garden flourish.
Use bulbs to make certain continuous flowers through the entire summer and spring.
Bulbs are hearty and will keep growing each year my sources Include a variety of plantings to obtain a full season of flowers, from early bloomers to late-season varieties.
Will not mow your lawn near to the bottom. When you leave your grass kind of high, your roots will probably be deeper and your lawn will likely be stronger rather than dry up. The shorter the grass is, the shorter the roots are, which results in a dry lawn.
A good way to correct your soil’s alkalinity is by amending your soil with used coffee grounds. The coffee grounds are an economical strategy to give some acid returning to the dirt. This easy act can result in vegetables that taste better and look more inviting.
Should you prefer a strange, yet successful, green response to eliminating weeds, boil these people to death. The safest herbicide which can be used in your garden is a simple pot of boiling water. All you need to do is apply boiling water directly to the weeds you want to remove. Take care not to get any around the plants you need to keep. Boiling water will in fact hurt the roots, and this will stop the weeds from growing.
If you’re likely to grow peas, start them indoors before putting them in the earth outside. Seeds are more likely to sprout when started indoors. They will also be stronger, and much better equipped to face up to disease and insects. After they are suitably strong, transplant them outside.
Get yourself a wheelbarrow as well as a kneeling stool to work in your garden. Gardening can be very tough on your knees, so a kneeling stool that is certainly ergonomic and light-weight can certainly make things much more comfortable and enjoyable. You will need a wheelbarrow to be able to perform various gardening chores, this is a a valuable thing to have available.
Using these tips, you’re better equipped to increase the most beautiful garden you can imagine. In learning how to make your dream garden, you’ll also be growing being a person. That’s because learning how to nurture your plants is not going to only assist you to reach the purpose of using a great garden, but it can help you learn how to nurture yourself..


OPINION: This Harvest Season, Thank an Idaho FarmerWednesday September 27, 2023
Fall is a season of transition.
The summer heat and longer days start to fade, and the crisp air and changing leaves begin to arrive. The kids are back in school, football is back on weekends, and the holiday season is right around the corner.
While all of this is true, to me, fall also means the start of another endeavor: harvest season.
Idaho has been, currently is, and will always be an agriculture state. It is what we are known for. Ask anyone what they think of when they think of Idaho – more than likely their first response will be potatoes. This is understandable, as each year Idaho grows roughly 14 billion pounds of potatoes, enough to earn us the #1 spot for potato production in the country.
But contrary to popular belief, Idaho is also a top contributor of more than just potatoes. Idaho is:
- Ranked #1 in barley, peppermint, and alfalfa hay production.
- The 2nd largest grower of sugar beets and hops.
- The 3rd largest producer of milk and cheese.
- Ranked 4th in the production of onions, peas, spring wheat, and lentils.
The Gem State ranks in the top ten in the nation for 30 different agriculture commodities. Our farmers are the top exporters of many products that Americans rely on. The Idaho potato is world-famous for a reason – our potato farmers help feed the world.
It’s also important to note that unlike many of the traditional farm states in the Midwest, most of Idaho’s farms are not owned by a single entity. Idaho is home to nearly 25,000 individual farms and ranches. I am among that number – as a fourth-generation cattle rancher, my family is still running our cattle ranch in Oakley that was first established in the 1800’s by my great-grandfather.
Our mom-and-pop operations are the backbone of our agriculture industry; they have a direct or indirect effect in nearly every avenue, from our state economy to our everyday way of life. Idaho’s farming operations equate to more than 11.5 million acres of Idaho land that is used to raise cattle and grow crops for our country. These acres make an impact – 18% of Idaho’s total economic output is from agribusiness alone.
Idaho’s ag industry is only getting better. Last year, Idaho’s net farm income was estimated to be more than $3 billion – a 56% increase from 2021 and the highest net income Idaho has seen in recorded history. 2022 also saw the highest milk revenues ever at $4.2 billion, as well as cattle revenues, which came in at $1.9 billion.
We depend on our farmers and ranchers for more than food, too. One out of every eight jobs in Idaho is related to agriculture, whether it’s direct or indirect, one out of every six dollars in sales in our state was related to agriculture.
The importance of agriculture in Idaho cannot be overstated. Our farmers work hard year-round, from sunup to sundown, to feed our growing population. Idaho’s elected leaders understand the value of our farmers. Idaho continues to be proactive in supporting programs that improve the quality of our soil, water, and air, to ensure a sustainable, resilient, and economically viable agricultural system.
Idaho has been discovered. There are people moving to the Gem State every day who like the way we live and want to be a part of it. But what we all must keep in mind is that while growth is necessary, so is maintaining a viable industry and a historic part of Idaho’s identity. Our farm acres should be respected for the bounty they provide. We need our farmers and ranchers – the world needs Idaho ag producers.
So, this harvest season, let’s keep our agribusinesses in mind. Next time you gather friends and family for a backyard barbecue, thank an Idaho rancher. Next time you’re pouring your kids a glass of milk, thank an Idaho dairyman. Next time you’re enjoying a hot, fresh French fry – thank an Idaho farmer.

Help Waldo Farmers and Flea Market celebrate National Farmers Market Week, August 6th-12th, 2017
Preserve America’s rural livelihoods and farmland. Farmers markets provide one of the only low-barrier entry points for beginning farmers, allowing them to start small, test the market, and grow their businesses. Farmers and Flea Markets are truly small business incubators!
Stimulate local economies. Did you know growers selling locally create 13 full time farm operator jobs per $1 million in revenue earned? Those that do not sell locally create only 3.
Increase access to fresh, nutritious food. Several studies have found lower prices for conventional and organic produce at farmers markets than at supermarkets.
Support healthy communities. Farmer’s market vendors educate their shoppers. Four out of five farmers selling at markets discuss farming practices with their customers, and three in five discuss nutrition and how to prepare food.
Promote sustainability. Three out of every four farmers selling at farmers markets say they use practices consistent with organic standards.
Farmers Markets Stimulate Local Economies Enticed by the festive sights, sounds, smells, and tastes, more and more people are choosing to shop for fresh, local foods sold at farmers markets. According to an impact study conducted by Civic Economics, locally owned retailers like farmers and flea markets return more than three times as much of their revenue to the local economy than do their corporate competitors. This means your farmers market purchases not only stock your pantry with healthy, fresh food, but also recycle money throughout your community, boosting economic activity and job creation. As the demand for fresh, local food continues to grow, farmers markets are being recognized as important retail anchors for economic commerce. The more than 8,000 markets across the nation are the driving impetus of consumer support for local farmers – while at the same time are creating opportunities for small businesses to stimulate local and regional economies. Markets are more than just a venue for fresh food and a friendly atmosphere; the revenue they generate helps your community prosper.

We sell our Davoli™ stone ground cold pressed gourmet olive oil retail by the bottle, by the can and for better value by the case. Our goal is to become your main source for premium quality cold pressed food oil. To accomplish that, we provide you with exceptional service and with the highest quality of gourmet stone ground cold pressed extra virgin olive oil available in the market at competitive prices.
The Davoli brand olive oil is made from Carolea olives and is considered raw (not heated) because it is produced at room temperature. Many refer to this type of olive oil as living olive oil. This is due to the fact that all the nutrients present in the cooking oil are living and therefore intact. Calabria has a long tradition in the production of premium quality gourmet food oil with low acidity and excellent organoleptic properties. The olive groves are usually small in size and are transferred through the generations from father to son. These olive trees are cultivated in a way that is natural and without pesticides. The special climatic conditions of the area such as the sea, the mountains, the sun and the sky that come together in harmony, make this stone ground extra virgin oil quite unique. The Davoli™ oil with its light aroma of fresh raw olives and its smooth full bodied taste gives special flavor to salads, seafood, stakes, pastry and makes every dish taste better.
Davoli™ cooking oil has not been heated during processing and therefore retains its full nutritional value. We purchase the Davoli™ Italian olive oil directly from farmers that own both the olive groves and have their own olive mill on the ranch. This allows them to process the olives right away and at low temperatures, which results in raw living and unfiltered olive oils with very low acidity and superior quality, taste and aroma. As a result, we stand 100% behind our Davoli™ cooking oil and we guarantee it to be absolutely wonderful olive oil in terms of both taste and aroma. As a result, Monica’s Fine Foods gives you a 100% satisfaction money back guarantee on our Italian olive oil.
As you probably know, all olive oils are not created equal. The composition of olive oil, which as all vegetable oils is made up of triglycerides and minor components, greatly depends, among other things, on climatic conditions, soil quality and fruit variety. We want to assure you that Davoli virgin oil is of the highest quality available. Our Italian olive oil is in compliance with all Italian and European laws that govern the production, harvesting, processing and labeling of olive oil and meets or exceeds all standards set by Italy, the European Union and the U.S. with respect to olive oil. It is stone ground and cold pressed and contains 100% natural olive juice with no additives or mixtures of lower grade olive oils or less expensive oils, as is often the case with cheaper olive oils available in the marketplace. The acidity of our olive oils is always guaranteed to be between 0-0.8% and in most cases it is in the range of 0.25-0.6%. Our Italian extra virgin cold pressed gourmet olive oil is available as standard completely unfiltered. Davoli™ olive oil retains it’s full nutritional value and is an excellent product. Our cold pressed Italian olive oil is always unfiltered, it can be cloudy although this is not always the case, and you may notice a little sentiment at the bottom of the bottle, which is quite normal for premium quality unfiltered cold pressed extra virgin raw olive oil.

Sustainability Studies intern
I came into this internship not knowing much about gardening.
I am learning a lot!
Sometimes it’s hard to keep everything straight. I know that carrots and tomatoes are companionplants now. Also I learned you have to be very delicate transporting cilantro! I have learned how
to make a teepee for plants with vines. I also learned how to build a trellis for tomato plants, andhelped make a homemade upside down tomato plant as well!
I absolutely love working for Green Bridge Growers. I love that they help provide starter
plants for the gardens at Hannah and Friends! The relationship between these two organizations is amazing!
After I graduate in December I want to work with special needs adults and children.
I have had the opportunity to work with the Hannah and Friends day program a little bit. One of the girls, Rachel, loves to plant and help out in the garden. She helped me plant carrots and radishes on Tuesday. I didn’t have any assumptions coming into this since I don’t know much about gardening. So far though, I am so happy with my internship. I love going there.
Green Bridge Growers strives to grow organic fruits, herbs and vegetables. They will be
selling herbs grown on the skywalk between the double tree and the century center. This fulfills system condition one by reducing the gas and coal used to transport herbs across state lines. Most herbs will most likely just be walked to the restaurants. This is something that is in the process of happening.
So far what I have done is just work on the Hannah and Friends grounds. Green Bridge Growers is also reducing the amount of coal and gas used by taking many of the
plants grown in the greenhouse and just transporting them to the Hannah and Friends grounds. We just walk the plants from the greenhouse to where they are planted!

This journey goes beyond conventional cultivation, delving into the intricate processes that transform a seed into pristine THCA crystals. Let’s dive into the details of this fascinating expedition.
THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is a precursor to THC, the well-known psychoactive compound in cannabis. EarthlyHemps recognizes the significance of THCA, not just as a precursor but as a valuable compound with its own unique properties.
The Genesis of EarthlyHemps
Founded with a passion for cannabis cultivation, EarthlyHemps set out to redefine the standards of quality in the industry. Their vision and mission center around providing consumers with a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations.

West Coast Cure Dulce De Leche “The Uno” is a Sativa strain grown Indoor by Highland Provisions. This batch tests at 23.4% THC and % CBD. Dulce De Leche “The Uno”’s lineage is made of up Chimera 4 and Mothers Milk and SFV OG.
West Coast Cure Dulce De Leche brings years of connoisseur cannabis mastery to the table. It effortlessly offers consumers the best marijuana experience, with an award-winning pedigree. West Coast Cure is the go-to cannabis label for the true connoisseur. It’s not something West Coast Cure works at; they simply have a Passion for Cannabis.
Dulce De Leche derives from Cream Caramel, Maple Leaf, and a Russian ruderalis strain. The term “dulce de leche”, means caramel in Spanish, which makes sense considering the stickiness of the buds. This auto-flowering strain is indica dominant, comprising around 17-20% of THC, which is very potent in comparison with other autoflowers on the market.
Dulce De Leche plants yield around 350g/m² and grow very short in stature. Outdoor yields amount to approximately 25-60 grams per plant. Basically, Dulce De Leche is a low yielding auto strain that delivers high potency. The life cycle, from seed to harvest, lasts for 55-65 days.


Banana brand nets bunch of awards
Ceinconsa SA, growers of BanaBay bananas, the new brand launched earlier this year, have netted an impressive two places in the hotly contested ‘Banana King’ competition, which is held each year in Ecuador – a country recognised worldwide for producing premium quality bananas.
Competing with over 30 established plantations for five winning positions, BanaBay premium bananas were judged on both size and quality. After a thorough examination of each plantation’s entry, the judges announced the winners, including both third and fourth position for BanaBay producers Ceinconsa.
Plantation director Danilo Serrano was extremely pleased with the result, “We were up against plantations widely known as the best in Ecuador, so the pressure was really on,” he said. “We’re extremely happy to have achieved both third and fourth place – out of five positions on the podium, our BanaBay bananas were on two! It was great to have the quality of our fruit recognized in this way by the industry.”
Since BanaBay bananas were introduced into the UK just nine months ago, the new brand has gone from strength to strength, with a million BanaBay bananas transported a week, not only supplying the UK, but also being importing into Ireland, The Netherlands, Egypt and, most recently, New Zealand.
Managing Director Mark O’Sullivan believes the brand’s success is due to the premium quality of the produce, but also the direct sourcing opportunity created by the company’s 50% Ecuadorian and 50% UK ownership, which means customers enjoy the benefits of shorter, more flexible supply chains and can have confidence in reliability of supply.
“Our success in this Ecuadorian competition confirms what we already know – our bananas are top quality,” he says. “Feedback from the marketplace confirms people love both the look and the taste of our bananas – and clearly the judges agreed!”
BanaBay bananas are grown on extensive, ethically managed plantations, harvested and shipped all over the world. The growers have built a reputation for quality over the last thirty years; currently they hold GlobalGAP certification and shortly will be FairTrade and Organic Fair Trade accredited.

Although Calamnsi trees require minimum pruning, it does not mean that you shouldn’t start pruning them when they are young. In fact, pruning young Calamnsi trees is recommended. It promotes proper growth. You should remove sprouts and weak limbs.
2. How to prune Calamansi trees when they mature
Besides removing mature trees’ sprouts, you should also remove all dead branches and weak limbs. Dead branches and weak limbs may cause a lot of problems. Thus, removing them is essential. Besides, removing them mean more nutrients and water to the rest of your tree.
You should also remove any crisscrossed limbs and any branches that show signs of diseases. Pruning is beneficial as it allows your Calamansi trees to get more light. Access to sunlight is vital for the growth of any citrus tree including Calamansi.
3. The best time to prune Calamansi
It is highly recommended to prune your Calamansi trees between February and April. After April, you should not do any pruning. From May onward, temperature degrees rise and pruning your trees will expose their branches to harsh sunlight which is harmful to them. Harsh sunlight will cause sunscald and bark rot which in turn may kill your trees’ branches. Removing sprouts is allowed though.
You should stop removing sprouts from November to January. Leaving them will protect your trees from frost and harmful cold weather. Therefore, it is better to keep them as they will shield your plant against cold weather.
4. Protect the bark
After pruning, you should make sure that your Clamansi trees don’t have any sun-exposed branches. Direct sunlight will burn your trees’ branches resulting in their death. Therefore, after pruning, especially on a sunny day, you should protect your trees with whitewash or latex paint.
5. Pruning techniques
Removing sprouts is extremely easy and does not require much effort. You can just pick them by hand while they are still young. Young sprouts are easier to remove than mature sprouts. For branches, you should remove them with a hand pruner or lopper. You may need to use a tree sow to remove big branches as they are strong and hard to remove.
This is how to prune Calamnsi properly. Follow these instructions and you will enhance the growth and the productivity of your trees.

The Magic Garden
By Kemi Nekvapil. Coach. Speaker. Author
Like us, gardens need time to relax and stop producing.
My garden is well overdue for a break. It has given us 8 years of bountiful organic harvest. Every season I plant it out with seeds and seedlings and every season it delivers something.
It does not always deliver the same amount of tomatoes each year.
The apples may be bigger than the year before.
The carrots never work, nor does the basil. I have given up on the carrots; I choose not to put the work in. Carrots take work!
Basil: I will keep trying new techniques and methods because it is basil.
The strawberries may taste sweeter than two years ago.
And the garlic is the best it has ever been.
When we sow seeds in a garden we either get a harvest or we get a lesson.
I believe life is the same.
Sometimes we sow seeds into a relationship and we are disappointed with the harvest.
Sometimes we sow seeds into our careers and they bloom in a way we could never have imagined.
Even sitting in silence, having a cup of tea, playing with your children, these all sow seeds. Seeds of wellbeing, seeds of connection and trust.
I am not a that-will-do gardener. For me, gardening is an act of privilege; I get to play with Mother Nature while also having the ability to control it a little.
Two years ago I decided that I would only plant blue, purple and white flowers. That was fun but I am about to take on a new creative project, one that I would never have thought I would do, just because I can.
I will rest the garden for a year but I still want the magic of watching growth and beauty play together.
So last week, I ordered random seeds and seedlings from my favourite gardening gurus, Diggers Club: Cottage Garden Collection, Gambler’s Choice Bulbs, Summer Flowering Collection. There is every colour you can imagine.
Once I have planted these seedlings and sprinkled these seeds I will turn over all control. It is up to forces outside of me to do the rest. I can only plant the seeds and feed them. What happens then is called trust.
Life is the same isn’t it?
We can only plant and feed and then we have to trust. We have to turn over control.
My magic garden project is going to be interesting. It excites me. I am doing something I have never done before. I have no idea if it will work. I might thoroughly dislike my magic garden but there is only one way to find out.
And the times we are not sowing seeds are the times that we do not get anything.
No harvest and no lesson. No opportunity and no growth.
Some seeds are harder to plant than others. Which brings me back to the carrots; you get to choose if it is worth the work.
I urge you to keep sowing the seeds. To know that what is for you, will not pass you by.
Your harvest is coming. xx

I had an irrigation system that had been struck by lightning. Matt was very patient...as we found problems with the system. He diagnosed the damage from the lightning traveling along the irrigation lines. He also had to dig up all the valves and replace them. He had to replace the entire wiring system, and we had broken pipes from the lightning. He was quick, efficient and cheerful. I would highly recommend him because he has many years of experience as a irrigation contractor.

Wines are produced in a variety of ways, both conventionally and by more natural methods. For various classifications of natural production we often get asked what the S, O, B, and N labeling of wine bottles in the shop means. Here are the cliff notes on how these labels relate to and differ from each other:
(S) Sustainable - Growers take environmental concerns into consideration and use responsible farming methods. There is minimal use of chemical sprays, and some organic and biodynamic methods. They practice water and resource conservation whenever possible.
(O) Organic - No synthetic or chemical sprays or fertilizers are used in the vineyard. A balanced ecosystem and healthy soil is achieved by the use of organic materials, beneficial insects, animals, and cover crops.
(B) Biodynamic - Prioritizes the vineyard as a healthy ecosystem without the use of chemicals, makes use of herbal sprays and composts. The winemaking is non-intervention and ambient yeast fermentations are used. Bottling occurs with little or no use of sulfur. All work in the vineyard and the winery adheres to the movements of the Earth and the Moon.
(N) Natural Wine - Not strictly defined and a term for many wines that fall into previous categories. Not all wines designated as Sustainable and Organic would be considered Natural Wines. Biodynamic wines almost without exception are considered Natural Wines. Common traits would be no spraying of chemicals in the vineyard, hand harvesting, fermenting the wine on the ambient yeasts, little or no manipulation during the winemaking, and low or no sulfur at bottling.

23 May DROUGHT AFFECTS 20,000 FARMERS IN SRI LANKA
Drought conditions in Sri Lanka have hit more than 20,000 farmers and destroyed 16,000 acres of rice fields in the Indian Ocean island nation, officials said.
The government has allocated 3.7 billion rupees, or $28 million, to provide relief to those affected, but Disaster Management Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said additional allocations would be needed as drought conditions are engulfing more areas in the affected north-central and northwestern provinces, Colombo Page reported.
Current plans call for providing farmers in the five drought-affected districts chemical fertilizer and seeds free of cost for the next sowing season in addition to giving financial help to each farmer family.
Separately, Sri Lankan, President Mahinda Rajapaksa instructed authorities to take immediate steps to prevent deforestation of areas sustaining natural water bodies and build reservoirs for agriculture in the hill country, Colombo Page reported. He asked them to take stern action against those destroying resources through timber smuggling or involved in animal poaching.
Sri Lanka recently received a $ 64.9 million loan from the Export-Import Bank of the United States to finance the construction of three water supply systems.

Serving the finest matcha from the shade-grown farms of Kyoto, Japan
Stonemill Matcha is sourced from Kyoto, the birthplace of matcha
Over 800 years ago, a monk carried the seeds of the green tea plant from China to be cultivated and transformed in Japanese soil. Our matcha is sourced from farmers who continue the tradition on that same soil.
Our matcha is curated by a master blender from a traditional teahouse in Kyoto
Each year, tea leaves produce their own flavors distinct from the generation before them. Only a master’s hand can develop a perfect blend from an array of the finest leaves.
Matcha selected from the youngest, most tender leaves
Attention to every detail
From harvesting to packaging and brewing, we give attention to every detail so that the vibrant color, Umami-rich flavor and nutrition is preserved at its best.
Various health benefits
You will immediately experience the energized calm of green tea as your body absorbs the long-term benefits of antioxidants and vitamins. L-Theanine and catechin are unique to green tea and especially abundant in our Matcha because we are true to the authentic method of growing Tencha leaves. All these nutrients can be consumed at once in a soothing bowl of matcha.
Relaxed and focused
Although matcha has caffeine content equivalent to that of a coffee, L-theanine helps you to be relaxed and focused without the jittery feel. Because of these qualities, matcha was ritualistically used before meditation practices by Zen monks from ancient times.

Learn about an improved method for seed germination. I demonstrate the traditional paper towel method as well as my improved baggy method. Speed up the germination process for any kind of seed. I have used this method on hundreds of different kinds of seed including perennials, alpines, bulbs, trees and shrubs. Visit this post for more information: http://www.gardenfundamentals.com/best-method-for-starting-seed-indoors/#more-535 There are several different methods for starting seeds indoors that work well for vegetable seeds and flower seeds. In this post I will review the various seed starting methods and help guide you in selecting the right method for your situation. Starting Seeds Indoors There are three basic ways to start seed indoors; in pots or containers, the paper towel or baggy method and winter sowing. The last one is not really a form of starting seeds indoors, but it is a good alternative for home owners. Winter Sowing: https://youtu.be/SO_KKbGYTEM Starting Seeds In Pots and Containers Pros: Simple. You can use plant pots or even recycle old containers, as long as you punch some bottom holes into the latter. You can use garden soil but buying seedling mix is a better option. Once seed germinates it can grow right in the same pot until it is ready for the garden. Method works well for small and large quantities of seed. Works well for indoor plants and garden plants. Cons: You can’t see the seed germinate. If nothing grows, it is difficult to figure out why. Was there no germination – the seed might have been dead? Did the seed germinate but then die – maybe you have a fungus or pH problem? Cold stratification is difficult in pots unless you have a dedicated fridge for plants, or a cold fruit cellar. Seeds that take a long time to germinate need to stay in the pot a long time. This becomes a lot of work in summer when the pots dry out quickly and need to be watered every day. A light source is needed to grow the seedlings. Both artificial lights and windows provide a very low level of light compared to the sun. This results in etiolated seedlings (ie tall and skinny). Starting Seeds in Paper Towels or Baggies Pros: You can see the germination process. Not only is this exciting, but it can tell you a lot about your seed. If you never see the root in the baggy you know that the seed is either not viable, or the pre-treatment was not the right one. If it germinates ie produces a root, then it is viable. If subsequently, the seedling dies it is not a germination problem. A lot of seed can be germinated in a small space using this method. You can hold 100 baggies of different seed in one hand – try toing that with 100 pots. Granted, if you are successful with all 100 seeds, they do need to go into pots at some point. Seed that takes a long time to germinate requires little care since the seed stays moist in the baggy. Stratification procedures are easy to carry out since the bags take up so little room in a fridge. Maximum use of seed. Since you can see which seed germinates, you need fewer seeds. In the potted method most people plant excess seed and weed out the extra. With this method you can put each seed into its own pot. This can be a real benefit for rare or expensive seed of limited quantity. Cons: Requires an extra step. You have to put seed into baggies, and then you still need to pot them up. But you only pot up the ones that germinate. Extremely small seed can be difficult to handle. The video below shows you how to handle small seed using the baggy method. Baggies need to be examined more frequently for germinating seed than pots. No special lights are needed for germination, but once they are potted up they need the same light as any growing seedling. Vermiculite and Baggies This is a variation of the above baggy method. Instead of using a paper towel in the baggy, it is filled with vermiculite that has been barely moistened. Some people also use peat moss, or seed starting soil instead of the vermiculite. Robert Pavlis is also the owner, and author of two gardening blogs.

This garden was completely overgrown when we first saw it – the clients were having the house renovated with a dugout basement.
The family had 2 young boys and a new puppy, loved growing plants and wanted to grow their own vegetables and herbs.
It was a challenge to create a design that gave both boys space to play as well as room for a coldframe, some raised vegetable beds, a lawn and 2 seating areas.
New storage was created with a custom made shed built immediately adjacent to the house and therefore out of sight from inside. The garden walls were weather-boarded and painted and mirrors were incorporated to give depth to the garden.
We used a palette of pale pastel colours for the planting, with the herbs rosemary, sage, fennel and mint.
For the children we also planted an espaliered apple and a fig tree- so that the boys could watch the fruit develop, and in a year or so be able to eat the produce.


The role of irrigation. With Théo Benonnier (ENS Cachan), Katrin Millock (PSE, CNRS) and Vis Taraz (Smith College).
Climate change will affect both international and internal migration. Earlier work finds evidence of a climate-migration poverty trap: higher temperatures reduce agricultural yields, which in turn reduce emigration rates in low-income countries, due to liquidity constraints.
We test whether access to irrigation modulates the climate-migration poverty trap, since irrigation protects crops from heat. We regress measures of international and internal migration on decadal averages of temperature and rainfall, interacted with country-level data on irrigation and income. We find that irrigation access significantly weakens the climate-migration poverty trap, demonstrating the importance of considering alternative adaptation strategies when analyzing climate migration.

Have you noticed the local convenience store starting to sell CBD products?
The sudden emergence of these types of products is very confusing. After all, America has been knee-deep in a War on Drugs for decades. For years, hemp has been considered an illegal plant.
Yet, the tides are changing. More people are seeing the value of the plant, and even more are investing in hemp. Read on to learn all about the plant’s progress over the past few years.
The Legality of Hemp and Hemp Products
So, what exactly is hemp? Isn’t it the plant that produces the drug marijuana? Isn’t it illegal?
These questions are important to answer if you’re considering investing in hemp.
Here’s what you need to know — hemp and marijuana are similar, but they aren’t the same. They both come from the cannabis plant. Both contain THC (the cannabinoid that gets you high), but hemp has very low levels.
The hemp plant itself can’t get you high.
Despite that, the hemp plant became illegal when the Marijuana Tax Act passed in 1937. Due to the change, hemp-related products disappeared from the market. So, why are you starting to see a resurgence of these products as of late?
It’s all thanks to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. This important federal bill legalized the production and distribution of hemp.
If you’re thinking of investing in hemp, then you can feel assured that it’s legal and safe to do so.
The Many Uses of Hemp Plants
If the hemp plant doesn’t produce marijuana, then what exactly is it good for? You’ll want to know all about the uses of hemp plants if you’re considering investing. Here’s a list of some of the most common uses for hemp:
- Use as a fiber (stronger than cotton)
- Creation of paper products
- Plastic substitute
- Source of nutrition (protein)
- Lubricating oil
- Clean-burning ethanol fuel
One of the most intriguing of these uses is the plant’s potential as a medicinal source. Hemp’s CBD, which isn’t psychoactive, can get extracted and transformed into oil.
When consumed, it has incredible impacts on the body. Many upcoming CBD businesses have even gone so far as calling the plant a ‘miracle.’
Regardless of how you feel about marijuana, that kind of claim is worth investing in to. Learn more about how to get started below.
How to Start Investing
If you’re ready to start investing, then it’s important to find a hemp business you trust. You need to verify that their production and distribution is legal.
Research the different hemp stocks on the market, and take your pick.
Investing in Hemp is Investing in Your Future
The hemp plant has a lot of potential, so investing in hemp is a great option for boosting your passive income. Using this guide, you can feel confident in starting an investment plan today.

Want to Know the Basics of Garden Maintenance?
Every homeowner that has a garden that they leave unattended will know what will happen. Weeds will start to pop up, insects move in, and plants will start to encroach on each other’s space. Which is why garden maintenance is vital to ensuring a garden is kept looking good, in material whether you have a flower, herb, or vegetable garden.
There are various aspects when it comes to maintaining a garden, all of which will depend on the kind of garden you have. However, the most basic one will be watering. Very few, if any, gardens will survive solely on rainfall, which means a gardener needs to provide water. This is achieved in various ways, such as sprinkler systems, garden hoses, and even a watering can.
Also, the choice of equipment used depends on where the garden is located, and what plants it contains. When dealing with weeds, this also has several approaches which could be implemented. Such as manually pulling up the weeds as they begin to pop up, or alternately use mulch as this will prevent weeds growing, in addition to retaining moisture too. Mulch comes in a variety of materials like organic, plastic, rocks, and wood chips.
Speaking about mulch, this brings up the subject of soil treatment also. Buy a kit or send a sample off for testing, this will help to identify any factors such as high lead levels, or when extra nutrients are needed in order to grow specific plants. Should the latter be the case, fertilizer, and compost can be used to help with this.

Branching off last week’s Wellness Wednesday tip, one of the best ways to save money and eat healthy is to buy produce that is in season. In the month of September, the following fruits and vegetables are currently in season in Texas:
Persimmons, figs, pears, melons, watermelon, summer squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers, hot peppers, and eggplant
Carrots, onions, baby arugula, sweet corn, green beans, and fresh peas
*Fun Fact: All produce containing seeds are considered fruits even though we may think of certain foods like cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes as vegetables because they have less carbohydrate content and are not as sweet as typical fruits.

Why are there so many hungry people?
Climate changes and induced shocks, civil insecurity and declining food production have all contributed to food scarcity and high food prices. There is also increased food demand and changing consumption habits, driven by demographic factors like population growth and urbanization.
Ways to Eliminate Hunger and Malnutrition
There will need to be investments in rural and urban areas and in social protection, so poor, vulnerable, children and infants have access to food and can improve their livelihoods.
Investment in the agriculture sector by involving more women and youth are also critical for reducing hunger and poverty, improving food security, creating employment and building resilience to disasters and shocks.

Animal Feed Additives
The last 2 decades, numerous laboratory and field trials have proven that Organic acids play a key role, not only in feed preservation and protection against microbial and fungal destruction, but also directly in the animal nutrition, as, under controlled conditions, a well-balanced acid combination increases the growth of monogastric animals, providing a cost effective solution against the use of anti-biotic growth promoters.
Our organic acid-based solutions are used to improve the feed safety of compound feed, feed ingredients and agro-industrial by-products by protecting against the growth of bacteria.
Eastman Pro GIT is a range of animal performance products based on organic acids. The organic acids reduce stomach pH, have a bactericidal effect in the Gastro Intestinal Tract (GIT) against gram¬negative (Salmonella, E. Coli) and gram-positive (Clostridium perfringens) pathogens and do not harm the growth of Lactid Acid Bacteria (LAB). This leads to a status of intestinal microbial Eubiosis, saving nutrients for the animal and leading to improved performance and health in both pigs and poultry. Solid Eastman Pro GIT products are a combination of organic acids and their calcium salts. Besides the organic acids' antimicrobial effect, they are a source of highly available organic calcium with a much lower Acid Binding Capacity (ABC) compared to limestone. Lowering the ABC of feeds allows a more efficient acidification of the digesta in the stomach.
Water is the most essential nutrient for livestock and water uptake by monogastric animals is 2 to 3 times the amount of feed they consume. Acidification of drinking water is useful for water sanitation and to prevent microbial contamination. It stimulates crop- and gastro-intestinal digestibility and helps reduce losses associated with conditions like enterocolitis and salmonellosis. Promoting a healthy intestinal microflora by acidifying the drinking water is important to suppress the pathogens that cause such types of digestive disorder. While today's animal production is becoming increasingly efficient in growth and feed conversion, animals are becoming more sensitive to stressors such as poor water quality. Eastman has developed the Protaq product range for clean water to ensure healthy animals, optimal performance and safe food.
Eastman Bacteria Control products effectively prevent, or significantly slowdown spoilage of all kinds of feed and raw materials while maintaining the original nutritional value. This helps to assure the safety and the nutritional quality of the feed. Protein based raw materials, of animal or vegetable origin, are frequently contaminated by Salmonella and other entero-bacteria. Our range of products is specifically developed to combat these and other microbial pathogens in raw materials and feed. Eastman Bacteria Control products contain high levels of (buffered) formic and propionic acid, which have a synergistic effect.
Calprona CA, is an effective growth inhibitor of bacteria, as well as a palatable source of calcium with high purity, solubility and bioavailability and it is compatible with all kinds of animal feed and premixes. Calprona CA is used as a preservative and is very effective in controlling microbes (bacteria and molds) in animal feed and premixes. Calprona CA is also a direct source of energy for the animals and improves the milkfat production in dairy cows.
Efficient acidification of milk for calves. MilkDigester is a complementary feed for acidification of milk and milk replacers for calves, which besides minimizing the growth of undesirable bacteria in the milk, also optimizes coagulation of milk in the intestine, thus supporting milk digestibility.


RootX Chemical Root Removal System
The patented RootX formula foams on contact with water. The foam acts as a carrying agent, lifting the herbicide to the top of the pipe where 90 percent of pipeline roots grow. Degreasing agents strip away grease and grime so the active ingredient can penetrate the roots, killing the root tissue on contact. RootX promotes bacterial growth to speed the decay and natural removal of roots. The foam also leaves a thin layer of the RootX herbicide on the pipe walls to prevent re-growth.
It’s important to apply RootX within the first hour after cutting or wait six to eight weeks. That’s because roots release a traumatic acid to cover the cut ends and protect them against further injury. If you apply RootX immediately after cutting, the herbicide can penetrate the root ends before the traumatic acid coating is complete. After six to eight weeks, the traumatic acid will have dissipated, leaving the most vulnerable part of the root—the white tender meristem growth where cells are actively dividing—exposed to the herbicide. The more root tissue you can treat with RootX, the better.


Sixteen per cent of Australia’s emissions are from land use change, forestry and agriculture. Most is produced from ruminants; the remainder from various sources including rice growing.
The issue of carbon in this sector needs to be addressed in tandem with broader issues such as land use efficiency and land use competition for different purposes and products.
Pressing questions include: What products/food stuffs should we prioritise for our land? How do we provide ecological restoration? Should we convert periforest agricultural land to ecological vegetation classes that bolster and buffer native forests? How much biomass be used as a sustainable energy source without competing against food production?
Importantly, the final vision is that human land use practices will be net sinks and stores of atmospheric carbon. The Land Use Plan will provide a comprehensive look at the way Australia can manage its productive capacity, ecological heritage and ecosystems services for the future.


Valencians are very proud of their Mediterranean diet which they believe is the best in the world. La Huerta, the area around Valencia, is famous for growing fresh fruit and vegetables. A drive in Valencia’s countryside will see you travelling past fields and fields of orange trees. Spanish cured ham, cheese, olives and olive oil are all a major part of the diet. Valencians are very proud of the fact that paella originated here. This is a rice dish which is cooked in a special shallow pan. The ingredients include chicken, rabbit, vegetables and saffron. The secret to a good paella is not to stir the rice while it is cooking.

What are your criteria for choosing honey?
You can also buy honey in your country.
However, cheap honey, such as those in supermarkets that are readily available, can be mixed with sugar and can break the natural honey nutrients due to overheating.
Where do you buy honey?
Honey in Hokkaido is made by honeybees that survive the harsh winter.
Bees die of cold when it snows. The beekeepers in Hokkaido are always trying to survive.
Unfortunately, some bees can't pass the winter and die.
Honey in Hokkaido is the fruit of the efforts of bee farmers and strong honey bees that survive in harsh environments.
Please don't be fooled by cheap honey.
Bee farmers do not use special processing to avoid destroying the nutrients of precious natural honey.
So honey crystallizes.
Cooks prefer honey that doesn't crystallize, but be careful.
If you heat honey, it can prevent crystallization, but instead, nutrients will break.
Honey without nutrients is just sugar.
You are consuming a lot of sugar.
How about the honey you always buy?


According to Grain SA, South Africa may need to import as much as five million tonnes of maize this year, roughly half of the country's requirements.
CEO of Agricultural Business Chamber (Agbiz), Dr John Purchase on Tuesday said that the crisis will severely impact food prices and consumer purchasing decisions.
