INAPRO: Innovating aquaponics
Aquaponics may be still largely unknown by the general public, but it’s a growing trend which has the potential to feed the growing world population.
This green technology couples aquaculture and horticulture whilst saving water, energy and nutrients. In an aquaponic system, the used water from the aquaculture sector, which is rich in nutrients, is used to grow the plants. Aquaponics is a highly efficient way of producing food, but, large scale installations lack stability, standardisation and economical profitability.
The EU-funded project INAPRO aims to overcome these limitations by innovating and improving aquaponics in order to respond to the global challenge of sustainable food production. The INAPRO system optimises aquaponics through the integration of cutting-edge technologies and by providing a modular solution for the management of water, energy and nutrients. The final goal of the project is the commercialisation of an innovative model-based aquaponic system.
The main innovation provided by INAPRO is the double recirculation aquaponic system (DRAPS) for water, consisting of a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) for the fish section and a recirculating hydroponic system for the plants section. These two systems run independently and are linked only through a one-way valve. In the INAPRO system, the wastewater from the aquaculture sector is used as fertiliser for the hydroponically grown crops and then, thanks to a cooling trap system, the evapo-transpirated water is captured from the horticulture sector and reinserted into the aquaculture sector. This system allows to establish and maintain optimal conditions in both parts, avoiding negative interactions between the fish and the plants.
Thanks to this innovation, the INAPRO system allows the production of fish and vegetables with almost no external water input. Indeed, INAPRO needs a daily water input representing only 1-3% of the total amount of water circulating in the system. INAPRO has been developed to be scalable to greenhouses of different dimensions and under different climate conditions. Moreover, depending on where the greenhouse is located, the system can use different sources of water (including rainwater) and can be powered by different sources of renewable energy, cutting both costs and greenhouse gas emissions.
INAPRO allows the production of local, healthy and sustainable food that is free from contaminants and chemical residues. In fact, INAPRO does not require fish drugs and antibiotics and employs only a minimal amount of fertilisers. Since the food is produced in a closed system, no pollution is dispersed in the surrounding environment avoiding any negative impact on soil and groundwater.

Local Food Sourcing
The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Food & Beverage staff prides themselves on supporting the farm-to-table movement of minimizing the distance between harvesting and consumption--primarily by limiting food processing, packaging, storage and distribution steps.
Food Service Director Jay Brewer and Executive Chef Wes Hamilton have developed a proprietary grading system of over a dozen different factors to choose their food vendors, including not only food quality, food cost and supply reliability, but also production location within 500 miles and environmental sustainability demonstrated by organic certification.
One result of the grading system has been limiting fish purchases to fresh and wild types approved as "sustainable seafood" by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Another result has been that over 10% of JHMR's annual half-million dollar food budget goes to local vendors, most of whom are represented by a logo on this page. With a growing local farmer's market and the development of a vertail harvest greenhouse in the town of Jackson, the percent of the annual food budget going to local vendors could double in the next few years.
In 2016, JHMR donated $25,000 as part of our 50th Anniversary season to Vertical Harvest Jackson Hole, our new local greenhouse in the town of Jackson. In addition to donating, we have formed a partnership with Vertical Harvest that brings in their great locally grown produce that we serve at food and beverage locations across the resort..
Fewer food miles may not always translate into lower greenhouse gas emissions, since local transportation inefficiencies, as well as lower local agricultural productivity may cancel out emission savings from averted long-distance transportation. However, the use of local foods encourages regional self-reliance, promotes the Wyoming agricultural heritage, and allows for creative seasonal menus using the freshest ingredients.


Way back when the first clusters of bright yellow daffodils popped their heads out of the earth and we all fell in love with pastel colours again, I decided to make myself a summer bucket list.
Since I’ve already had my summer holiday, I had resigned myself to the fact that I’d be spending my summer in the North East, but hey, that’s okay because I had my summer to-do list. One of my must-not-miss things to do was go strawberry picking and happily, I can say I ticked that off my list this weekend with a visit to Brocksbushes.
Just 20 minutes or so along the A69 from Newcastle, Brocksbushes is super easy to find and such a fantastic North East tourist attraction. I love the story behind the business most of all; now a thriving PYO fruit farm with its own cafe and award-winning farm shop, Brocksbushes was once upon a time was a soft fruit farm only open eight weeks of the year to those in the know.
After paying a £1 deposit per basket, you’re let loose into the fields to pick your own fruit, so off we went in search of strawberries, raspberries and some early blackberries. It took us a couple of rows to find the good’uns but once we did we were on a roll!
The sun was shining, the berries were beautifully fresh and we had a lovely old time.
There’s no pressure to hurry so after scouring the field for as many berries as we could fit in our baskets, Ashleigh and I couldn’t resist sitting among the trees and grass enjoying the sun, before heading for an ice cream and some goodies from the farm shop.
Happy with our horde, we headed home where I made Eton Mess with these gorgeous fruit meringues I spied at the farm shop. If you’re looking for a fun day out on a budget, then I definitely recommend Brocksbushes – I spent less than £10 and had a fantastic time. Who couldn’t use more days out like that?!
Next up on my summer to-do list… an afternoon at the Boilershop Steamer!
What would be on your summer bucket list – any ideas for me to try?

Quick Notes /
Cabbage, and yes, we’re talking about the vegetable here, is a great addition for an autumn arrangement. No, but seriously, despite their less than exotic origins, Cabbages have layers of leaves that overlap in a spiral pattern from the center of its head. The leaves can be either smooth or ruffled, open and large or tightly furled and resembling a rose. The alternating leaves can be lobed or wavy and even highly vained. There are varieties that feature a waxy coating on the leaves. And all of those great attributes come in a variety of colors. From the clean and classic white and green cabbage to the fancy purples and reds there’s a cabbage for all occasions. And while the cabbage plant grows really sweet, little yellow flowers, we don’t bother with them in arrangements. The big, bold, and hyper textural cabbage heads are far more our style.
Native to Britain and continental Europe, today’s cabbage were developed as a crop way back in before 1000 BC. As a food staple, cabbage made its way around the classical world and was greeted with either great devotion or great antipathy. Great people including Cato the Elder and Diogenes considered cabbage superior to all other vegetables. In Europe, cabbage found great popularity during the High Middle Ages, when other crops were in short supply. From Europe the crop spread to Mesopotamia to Egypt as a winter crop and from there it followed the trade routes and continued to spread. There isn’t a lot of evidence that the colorful crop was used in a decorative manner, but here at Starbright, we can imagine that the purples and greens that last well after most flowers drop, have always been a sight for tired eyes. It isn’t a surprise that at some point, someone started cutting the smaller heads for filling vases.
Inside Info /
- Babe Ruth used to place a cabbage leaf under his hat before each game.
- The world’s largest cabbage was grown in 1865 in Durham, England by William Collingwood – it weighed in at a whooping 123 pounds!
- At one time, Russian princes paid tribute not only with racing horses and jewels, but also with potted cabbage plants.


Review on: Effect of Integrated Weed Management Practice on Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
- Select Volume / Issue:
- Type of Publication:
- Bread Wheat, Weed, Integrated, Management
- Gebeyehu, Birhanu
- Weed infestation is one of the major biotic constraints in wheat production. Wheat is infested with diverse type of weed flora, as it is grown under diverse agro climatic conditions, different cropping sequence, and tillage and irrigation regimes. For controlling weeds in wheat, growers mostly rely on herbicides due to cost and time effectiveness. For control of diverse weed flora in wheat combination of herbicides or as sequential, if not compatible are required. However, sole dependence on herbicides is also not desirable as it contributes to shift towards difficult-to-control weeds and the rapid evolution of herbicide resistance, which is a threat for sustainable wheat production. For efficient weed management, the non-chemical weed management tactics should be adopted in conjunction with chemicals (like herbicide mixture and rotation, optimum spray time, dose and methods). Some of the non-chemical agronomic strategies like tillage, sowing time, sowing methods, competitive crop cultivars, higher crop density, closer spacing, irrigation, fertilization and crop rotation can be adjusted and adopted in such a manner that they provide the competitive edge to the crop over weeds. Integration of knowledge of weed biology and non-chemical methods of weed control with chemical methods will help in increasing the life of existing herbicides and make the weed management cost-effective and efficient.

AFP reporters who travelled across the three countries saw widespread suffering in rural areas where successive harvests have been hit by lack of rain or shortened rainfall seasons.
Across the 16-nation southern African region, 45 million people are “gravely food insecure”, the World Food Programme (WFP) said on January 16. In some regions, the drought is three years old — in others, five.
Zambia: Children absent due to hunger
In the Zambian village of Simumbwe, hundreds waited for food to be distributed by the NGO World Vision and the UN.
“The children ask me: ‘What are we going to eat?'” said Loveness Haneumba, a mother of five.
“I answer: ‘Just wait. Let me look around’.”
A teacher, Teddy Siafweba, said about 15 children in his class were absent that day because of hunger. In the classroom next door, about 30 were missing — nearly half of the roll-call of 70.
South Africa: Mass graves for animals
In South Africa’s Northern Cape province, at the gateway of the Kalahari Desert, the wild animals are used to extreme temperatures, but even they are succumbing to the conditions.
According to Wildlife Ranching South Africa, two-thirds of wild animals in the province have died in the last three years.
In two years, half of the 4 500 buffaloes, hippopotamuses and kudus at the Thuru Lodge game farm near Groblershoop have disappeared.
The average rainfall here is 250mm a year.
“But 250mm, that’s what we have had in five years,” said its manager, Burger Schoeman.
At the top of a hill that overlooked the 22 000ha private reserve, two huge holes served as mass graves.
The drought represents a financial black hole for the lodge, which spends R200 000 per month to feed the animals while cancelling the reservations of tourists on the lookout for “trophies”.
“We need to offer a fair hunt. Hunters can’t shoot weak animals,” said Schoeman.
Drought: Farmer loses 70% of stock
Johan Steenkamp, a 52-year-old farmer with a spread of 6 000ha, said he had lost up to 70% of his stock.
Sheep still give birth, but they abandon their newborn lambs.
“They have no milk,” Steenkamp said. “They leave them there.”
Clever crops the answer to ‘climate shock’
Hand-in-hand with the desperation are signs of hope as some farmers adapt to climate shock.
Three years ago, Imelda Hicoombolwa, a single Zambian mother and small farmer, gambled on agricultural diversification, opting for nutritious vegetables and using techniques adapted to climate change.
“Food is not a problem. I have it,” she beamed.
Before 2017, Hicoombolwa cultivated almost only maize. Today, she harvests cowpeas, which need very little water, as well as peanuts, pumpkins and sunflowers.
“I can make 18 000 kwacha (R18 229) a year. Before, I was making 8 000 kwacha (R8 101) a year,” she said. “Before, the children were missing school because I could not always pay the tuition fees. Not any more.”

3 Year Sustainability Action Plan 2010 - 2012
Sustainability Education and Collaboration.
We will continue to work with students, faculty, staff and the administration to find and implement sustainable solutions. We will also build on our marketing campaigns to increase engagement on issues of nutrition, eco-friendly products, local food, and overall sustainable living.
Build Gourmet Campus Gardens on each campus.
Our garden program was a big success in 2010. With garden workshops and tastings, we connected with over a hundred students across our campuses to share our appreciation for local, organic food and connecting with nature. We have installed gardens on the Fairleigh Dickinson Madison campus, the NJIT campus in Newark, and have collaborated on the Kean garden in Union.
In 2011 we have created a Gourmet Campus Garden on the Seton Hall campus, and our next site is the Manhattan College campus.
Compost more on each campus.
We will continue to work on finding composting solutions on all of our campuses. In 2010 we have composted over 200,000 pounds of food waste from our kitchens. We now compost food waste on five campus: Seton Hall University, Kean University, Bergen Community College and now in 2011, both Fairleigh Dickinson Madison and Teaneck campuses. The compost we create will be used to fertilize the campus landscapes and build soil.
Purchase more local food.
By growing food on campus and sourcing food from NJ farms, we will serve more local food to our campus communities. We will continue to build stronger and tighter relationships with local farmers, relationships that are mutually beneficial. We will create and maintain organic vegetable and herb gardens on all the campuses we serve and integrate more perennials (berries and fruit) in the gardens over time.
We will continue to recycle cardboard, paper and aluminum on every campus. We will increase the amount of plastic we recycle by at least 10% every year. We will also source alternative materials to replace the plastics used in our operations.

|South Glanton Farms is mixed farm just north of Forrest, Manitoba. The farm is a third generation family farm including Ryan and Sarah Boyd, their daughter Piper and son Bingham, and Jim and Joanne Boyd.
Our family has a long history of farming and conservation. We are focused on embracing the principles of agroecology to create an extremely diverse and resilient farming system.
The farm consists of approximately 300 black Angus beef cows, calving in June and a diverse crop rotation including spring and winter wheat, oats, canola, flax, peas, soybeans, corn, perennial forages and diverse annual forages for grazing and greenfeed.
Several different management practices have been used to enhance soil health including adaptive grazing, high stock density grazing, no-till, a diverse crop rotation, intercropping, winter grazing corn, bale grazing, and stockpile grazing.
Recently, we have added the grazing of diverse mixtures of annual forages to the crop rotation with rapid improvements to soil health.

We went apple picking to Garwood Orchard in La Porte. Apple picking is the best activity for us in early September. We tried this orchard for the first time and it was one of the greatest orchards in the region. It was a huge, beautiful, and very family friendly fun farm. They also have many kinds of vegetables and berries for U-pick. We got tons of apples in a several varieties.
Of course, I baked two apple pies that week.
And also my favorite Irish apple cake.
The leaves started coloring here in Northern Indiana. It is sad to know the Summer is surely over. But Fall is filled with the beauty of the nature. It is the time of harvest. What are you going to harvest this Fall?
I hope you are having a wonderful week.


As part of our goal towards sustainability, RCU has an acre of land used for farming demonstration for both cultivation and animal rearing. Our farming is a great learning experience for the children in our care and support and the community at large. Both the community members and children learn how to plant and harvest according to our sessional cycle, with respect for the land. With this knowledge, the children and community members will be able to learn how to do farming on a small scale and the crops can be used for both nutritional and financial support to the families. This will enable the parents be able to get basic needs of life and also send children to school.
With the additional purchase of more acres of land in the future, we will increase the cultivation of crops inclusive of foods, fruits and also rearing animals like goats, pigs, cows and poultry. This will not only provide food for the children under our care and support, school, but also help poor families in the community and will generate much needed income for running the organization programs. Currently, the land is producing crops such as corn, sweet potato, cassava, banana, and beans which are used for feeding and also selling to get money for running day today errands for the organisation
Bark Yard Sustainable Agriculture
This is set at the farm and it is used as a demonstration site during training on how to set up small gardens near homes. It is also used to train about promoting small-scale irrigation farming and organic farming. RCU also uses plastic containers as vegetable gardens and these can be placed on house verandas or in the compounds. These can be able to provide vegetable foods all around the year hence improve nutrition for all. Women and youth groups are empowered to practice this farming due to the fact that they are also able to sell some of the vegetables so as to earn some financial support hence purchasing other basic needs in their homes.
Small groups of people are also provided with a few animals like pigs, goats and chicken after being empowered on how to look after them. When they give birth, we also give other members of the community to do the raring. This project has helped many live out of the poverty cycle as many are now able to save money hence being able to access basic needs and also send children to school

Banana trees are a tropical plant that are known for their large, lush leaves and delicious fruit. They are often grown as ornamental plants, but can also be used for their fruit in warmer climates. Here’s a guide on how to care for banana trees, including information on propagation, fertilization, optimal soil and sun conditions.
Caring for Banana Trees Banana trees need warm temperatures and lots of sunlight to thrive. They prefer temperatures between 60-90 degrees Fahrenheit and should be placed in an area with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. They also require high humidity and regular watering. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. It is also important to protect banana trees from frost and freezing temperatures.
Propagation Banana trees are propagated by rhizomes, also known as “suckers” or “pups” that grow from the base of the mother plant. These pups can be removed when they are about 6 inches tall and planted separately. It’s important to use a well-draining potting mix for banana trees, such as one made up of equal parts peat moss, coarse sand, and perlite.
Fertilization Banana trees are heavy feeders and require regular fertilization to promote growth and fruit production. A balanced, water-soluble fertilizer should be applied to the soil every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. It is important to use a fertilizer with a high nitrogen content to encourage leaf growth and a high potassium content to promote fruit development.
Optimal Soil Conditions Banana trees prefer a well-draining, rich soil with a pH between 5.5-7.5. They also require a high level of organic matter in the soil. A mixture of equal parts peat moss, coarse sand, and perlite is a good option for banana trees.
Sun Conditions Banana trees need full sun to thrive, at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day is optimal. They can be grown in partial shade, but it may reduce fruit production. If you live in a colder climate, it is best to grow banana trees in a greenhouse or indoors where they can receive the necessary sunlight and warmth. Banana trees are a beautiful and unique tropical plant that can be a great addition to any garden. They require warm temperatures, high humidity, regular watering, and lots of sunlight to thrive. They should be fertilized regularly and propagated by rhizomes. With proper care, these plants can bring a touch of tropical beauty to your home and delicious fruit to your table.


Turkish jets have bombed the land around these villages on the pretext that they are pursuing elements of the opposition Turkish Worker’s Party. But this is not true.
What you see in this video is a calculated attempt to intimidate the Christian population from their ancestral lands and dissuade other Christians from returning home.
Khalil told me that no-one was killed in this attack, but there was significant damage to farm equipment and the irrigation network, which is vital to their crop survival. He asked if we could help him, and I said I would do everything possible! That’s why I’m asking you, today, to make a special gift in solidarity with the Christian farmers in Northern Iraq.
Help us, help them rebuild their farms and stand up to intimidation. Please give what you can. Thank you


Background of Wagashi
Known as the fruit tree kingdom, it is famous all over the country as a cherry, La France pear and grapes producing area. Also, along with each Tohoku prefecture and Niigata, it is a prosperous rice-growing area. I am pleased to introduce some popular wagashi of Yamagata prefecture. The largest part of Yamagata prefecture area is occupied by mountains. Most of the people live along Mogamigawa River flowing through the middle of the prefecture.
Presenting Yamagata Prefecture Local Souvenirs of Wagashi
“Noshi Ume” , produced by Satouya
The balance of the plum’s original sourness and sweetness makes an exquisite jelly-like cake. Using only full-ripened plums from Murayama city, Yamagata prefecture. Using only sugar and agar-agar, the artisan carefully crafts the cakes following the traditional confectioning method.
Popular souvenirs Nippon Wagashi from Zao Onsen. A small white rice cake placed on a real bamboo leaf. Decorated with a yellow-dyed rice grain. Inside the rice cake there is strained bean paste, with a sticky, chewy texture. The bamboo leaf’s original flavor slightly passes in the rice cake and its fragrance can be enjoyed too.


Then we discovered that due to the amazing properties of particle board, in the toilet area, the subflooring was also bad. Anyway...we've had to replace a large part of the subflooring and the flooring. Now we're going to lay concreteboard and tile the thing.
In the midst of all this fun and excitement, my mom called to say the corn was ready. (Okay... all you from the north, don't yell at me because the corn around y'all is only two inches high and we're already harvesting...Marianne already took care of that job). We don't grow corn because it takes up too much space, but we have friends who do. And...$2/dozen. Can we say happy?
So, we bought ten dozen (which actually worked out to more like twelve dozen, because they are firm believers in the concept of the baker's dozen, and more. So... last night we put up corn.
After washing the corn and removing the last few silks (and I know I missed some, but.. ),
And .... because of a hard evening's work, we'll be able to enjoy fresh corn all year. After all, you can't get much fresher than on the stalk at five and in the freezer before eleven!
So... how was your day?


Dustin and his father, Tony, began making wine in 2003. Small scale wine making exposed Dustin to the vibrant regional community of people developing and fostering a strong wine industry based on cold hardy grape varieties. This experience led Dustin to a new vision for what to do with his small, former dairy farm outside of Rochester, Minnesota. In 2004, with the help of family, Dustin planted what would be the first two blocks of 300 cold hardy grape vines. By 2006, after working several years with available grape varieties, Dustin and family took the leap and started Salem Glen Vineyard & Winery. The winery opened the tasting room doors in July 2007, and expanded in 2009 to add a new tasting room and event space. Salem Glen's focus is producing world class wines made from cold hardy grape varieties and introducing these wines to visitors from near and far.


Whether you live in the suburbs, a rural region, or are a full-fledged city dweller, the thought of having a greenhouse no doubt crossed your mind at one time or another.
After all, a greenhouse doesn’t necessarily have to be a huge glass structure like they have in botanical gardens. You can make a greenhouse work in almost any setting, given the right materials and the desire.
Not so sure you even have the desire yet? Maybe you’ll change your mind after checking out these top five reasons for having a greenhouse.
1. Greenhouses Can Be Very Economical
Inflation is making a serious dent on household budgets across the nation and the globe. Food prices have surged 30% in the last year, due to increased demands, a broken supply chain, extreme weather, and worker shortages.
And unfortunately, this is not a trend that seems likely to break any time soon.
The fact that growing your own food can be much more affordable than buying from your local supermarket is one of the primary reasons greenhouses are trending right now.
When you have your own greenhouse, you can worry less about rising prices at the grocery store. You can even sell your own goods to friends, neighbors, and at a farmers market if you get a knack for it!
That would certainly be a smart way to earn a monetary gain on your investment.
2. Greenhouses Let You Grow What You Want
As mentioned, the broken supply chain is affecting the price of the food you buy. And it’s also affecting the availability of what you usually buy.
However, when you have a greenhouse, you choose what to grow. You can grow incredible heirloom tomatoes for salads and galettes, fresh herbs to season your meals, carrots for stews and snacks, and even plants and flowers to adorn your home.
If you live in a medical or recreational marijuana state, you can even grow cannabis to make healing salves and tinctures. If this all sounds impossible, believe us, it’s not so challenging! On that note, check out this quick guide to growing your own cannabis indoors if your local laws allow it.
3. Greenhouses Can Help You Eat More Fruits and Veggies
With all the hustle and bustle of the daily grind, it’s near impossible to eat the recommended daily amount of fruits and vegetables.
But having your own greenhouse makes that so much easier. And satisfying!
Since you’re growing your favorite vegetables and fruits by hand in your private greenhouse, your desire to eat healthier increases.
You’re certainly not going to let all that fresh produce go to waste when you’ve invested so much time and energy in growing it! This is just another top reason for having a greenhouse.
4. You Know What You’re Growing in Your Greenhouse
Let’s face it: most of us have no idea where our produce comes from or how it was made. We don’t even necessarily like to think about that aspect of the food chain!
But with your own greenhouse, you know exactly what is in your food and you grew it. This is not only about having peace of mind (though that’s a huge part of it!) It’s also a wonderful way to take pride in the items you nurtured, tended to, and grew with the utmost care.
5. Greenhouses Maximize Your Green Thumbs’s Potential
If you are thinking about having a greenhouse, odds are, you already have some level of gardening proficiency. And a greenhouse is a surefire way to make the best use of your skills.
First of all, consider a greenhouse’s design. They are classic glass structures that magnify natural sunlight (or in the case of indoor greenhouses, grow lights) while protecting your plants from overexposure to the elements.
While the structure itself is incredible, you have to put in plenty of work, too. You’ll have to constantly measure the temperature and humidity levels while gauging the overall health of each plant.
Owning and maintaining a greenhouse is unbelievably satisfying work. And the more you commit to it, the better at it you’ll become. Sure, you’ll have to overcome a learning curve and there will be ups and downs, but you’ll conquer these and have a beautiful bounty to show for it.
These are just five of the top reasons for having a greenhouse.
You may have your own reasons for doing so, too.
But overall, when you have your own greenhouse, you can expect to:
- Save money
- Grow what you love
- Eat more nutritious foods
- Understand how you grew each crop
- Enjoy a better sense of self-reliance as your gardening skills develop
With the right tools and equipment, and an unbeatable can-do attitude, these are all the things you can have along with your greenhouse.


Semestral break is one of the few times in the year when all the cousins in different schools are off school at the same time. When my father-in-law learns that all the grandchildren have more than a week off, he immediately plans a trip!
This particular trip a couple of years back started off in the US east coast and we were able to catch the last week of pumpkin picking at Hacklebarney Farm in Chester, New Jersey.
Definitely a new experience for us who come from the other side of the world.
While we do celebrate Halloween here with trick or treating, costumes and all,
we don't have pumpkins to pick or jack-o-lanterns to carve!
The fields were already withered and there were only a few pumpkins left. But that didn't matter--we never saw a pumpkin patch before so we were so excited.
The G was not a happy camper as it was too cold for her
but she agreed to pose with some pumpkins.On the other hand, C who loves the airconditioner always on full blast happily went about picking
all the pumpkins she could get her hands on, even if they were quite heavy.
After picking pumpkins outside for about twenty to thirty minutes, we went into the farm store to buy the pumpkins and to and warm up with hot mulled cider.
We would've loved to try the cider dog, but the kiosk was closed for the day. That's what happens when you have a whole household of kids and you need to get everybody out the door...late for everything!
If you noticed, we were the only ones picking pumpkins at this late time of day.
They were also selling apples at the farm store.
They had them separated by variety in little buckets, with some buckets marked "pie blend".
I was tempted to buy a couple of buckets and make some pies, but we were traveling with the whole extended family, and this was definitely no time to be a "Martha"!
Here in Manila, I've only come across Fuji, Granny Smith and Red Delicious apples. Maybe a couple of more varieties or so. But the varieties in the States confuse me. Sometimes I just want a plain apple and I don't know which one to pick. Here is an apple chart and list which I got off this blog.
- Macintosh - smaller red apples, juicy, slightly tart and softer, best for baking and applesauce; harvest: Sept.
- Granny Smith - bright green, firm, juicy and tart, perfect for eating, in salads and baking; harvest: late Sept-early October
- Empire - a NY developed variety is a cross of Macintosh and Red Delicious, semi-crisp, sweet and tart, good for eating, baking and desserts, cider; harvest: late Sept.
- Red Delicious - dark red, sweet, med-crisp, great for anything, most popular apple sold in US; harvest: late Sept./early Oct.
- Ida Red - big red apples, juicy and sweet, good for cooking/baking, desserts, applesauce; harvest: early-mid Oct.
- Mutsu (Crispin) - one of my favs is yellowish-green, crisp and sweet, great for eating, applesauce and cider; harvest: mid-late Oct. for sweeter apples
- Honeycrisp - my ALL TIME fav is medium red and yellow, very crisp and very sweet, just a little tart; harvest: mid Sept. and have a long shelf life; These are mostly grown in the midwest (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan) as they were developed in Minn. I have found that these are more expensive than other apples but in my opinion, well worth the price!
Back to Hacklebarney now--they also had all these homemade (farm-made) goodies too.
Back outside, C spied a few ears of corn...
She was thrilled that she was the only one who found corn in a farm that
(she thought) had only pumpkins and apples. I found out belatedly that there is an amazing corn maze on this farm, but I think finding the maize was the closest we got to the maze. lol.
It was an amazing "stateside" fall day for all of us,
and these city-slicker kids had the thrill of adding "pumpkins" to their
Happy Halloween to all!

The Legacy of Excellence, Sustainability, And Agricultural Traditions
Farming is a long-established, familial way of life, where customs, toil, and love of the land turn over through generations. This steadfast commitment to agriculture is the best example by Sonne Farms, which encompasses a wide range of initiatives that express their support for this crucial sector of the economy.

Sonne purebred Black Angus bulls, with their excellent genetics, produce more and healthier cattle, influencing other ranchers’ herds and raising beef standards in South Dakota, thereby enhancing the state’s standing as a leader in agriculture.

JUNG since 1828: Sustainable bee project started
Looking forward to the new "workforce" (left to right): Jung's managing directors Dennis Dennig and Arne P. Bender together with beekeeper Markus Sautter.
Two new bee colonies were settled on the roof of the company building of JUNG since 1828 at the beginning of September 2019. This bee sponsorship in cooperation with the award-winning initiative "nearBees – honey from next door" is the latest contribution of the renowned manufacturer of tasty promotional products in its systematic commitment to more species protection and sustainability. The two managing directors Arne P. Bender and Dennis Dennig warmly welcomed their new "workforce". "We are very pleased to welcome our new 60,000 hard-working employees and thus make a valuable contribution to the preservation of the local honeybees," says Managing Director Dennis Dennig. "The global importance of honeybees is huge: As pollinators for more than 70 percent of all plant species, they are the guarantors of the diversity of our blossoming nature and thus the food base of humans and animals worldwide. In return, we humans should protect, support and ensure that they thrive. The settlement and care of new native bee colonies is an important step to ensure that the bee population in Germany can grow again. JUNG has been committed to this goal since 1828," says Managing Director Arne P. Bender. We have started with two new beehives on the JUNG company premises. There are plenty of meadows, fields and orchards for a fertile bee pasture in this area. With the help of an experienced beekeeper, everything is done to ensure that the zestful nectar collectors feel well and develop well. "As a positive side effect, JUNG will also be making its own delicious and naturally sustainable honey. We are looking forward to this very much," says Dennis Dennig. www.jung-europe.de


Tips For Homes With Small Backyards! David September 12, 2014 Home Inspiration, Home Styling, Small Home Living, Sustainability In the modern housing market, a backyard can be something of a luxury. Accordingly, most modern townhouses and smaller homes have tiny backyards with little room for a garden or anything else. Luckily, there are few easy ways to maximise your space and make the most of a tight situation… Grow flowers along a wall. Pick a species that grows along a wall for the illusion of more space and a larger garden. Jasmine is particularly lovely and grows quite easily. Wall-climbing flowers require only a small amount of space for the root structure to grow and occasional watering, so they’re ideal for small, urban spaces. Use a few small gardening pots for herbs and flowers. You’d be amazed what you can grow in a small pot, so buy a few and get started! Herbs like basil, thyme, mint and many more can be grown in small pots in almost any climate. There are also dozens of strains of flowers perfect for growing in a pot. Just make sure they have a little bit of sun and regular water and you’ll have a portable garden in no time. Try vertical gardening. If you’re short on floor space, vertical gardening can offer homeowners a cheap and efficient way to grow vegetables and other plants. Most DIY vertical gardens use old shoe racks or wooden pallets as their basis, but feel free to choose your own basis for the design. Essentially, vertical gardening requires that plants are grown in spaces on top of one another, so there are many possible alternatives! Consider expanding into the front yard. Some smaller, suburban houses will have more yard space in the front part of the house. Owners and occupants should be encouraged to use this space for their gardening purposes as well. There are also common spaces in developments which are sometimes given over to community gardens or planting. Consult with your Owners Corporation or have a chat with neighbours to see if such a place exists. With these simple tips in mind, inhabitants of small houses can have a luscious garden of their own all year round! Melbourne’s Swanston Hotel, Grand Mercure, the laneway city’s premier hotel.

Safety of Using Plastic Plant Containers
As our planet gets more and more densely populated, not everybody has access to their own private garden for growing plants, flowers or vegetables. Despite this fact, there are many people who have a desire to grow their own plants and will go to great lengths to achieve this. Container gardening is the new phenomenon to combat lack of space. This is often accomplished by using lightweight plastic containers, however, we are told more often these days of the concerns of using plastic in our everyday lives. So, the question is, are plastic containers safe to use? The safety tests have been completed and it is now proven that it is very safe to grow produce and plants within plastic containers. They also offer the extra benefits of being sturdy, lightweight and durable.
Advantages of Using Plastic Containers
Plastic containers are flexible, strong and lightweight. They are also available to purchase in every imaginable colour so they can easily be matched to whatever décor is already present in the garden or patio. They make for a very bright and uplifting colour backdrop to any environment. They also have a huge advantage over clay containers in that they hold moisture for a much longer period of time. This greatly benefits moisture loving plants and flowers and is also good for the forgetful gardener, not all gardeners remember to give the flowers a regular drink. Many plastic pots are now made from recyclable plastic so when they are no longer needed they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. The different colours available make it much easier for reliable growth of particular plants. For instance, flowers and plants that need a lot of heat should be placed in a black container as this will attract more sunlight than a white pot. On the other hand if the gardener needs to grow a delicate plant then the choice would be a light coloured pot.
Considerations when Purchasing Plastic Containers
When a gardener is looking for a plant pot that will last the test of time then it goes without saying that plastic is the way forward. If time is an issue for let’s say the busy lifestyle and not much time to dedicate to gardening then again plastic is the best option as it requires less care than conventional clay pots. Many people live very busy lives and yet love to have that splash of colour outside their windows so plastic containers are the answer to make their dreamlike garden come true. Plastic containers are ideal for the not so clued in gardener as they require little knowledge. They will heat and cool down quickly so that fragile roots rarely get damaged even when in a sunny position. It is also very easy to drill additional holes for extra drainage if needed.
Colourful Flowers in Colourful Pots
Flower are said to help place an unrestful mind at ease. This is why a lot of people enjoy a relaxing break in a colourful garden or patio. Flowers are nourishment for the mind and soul. Flowers will give an even greater result when matched with a beautiful coloured plastic pot.

Allelopathic potential of Citrus reticulata peel extract for weed control
The potential use of tangerine orange (Citrus reticulata) peel extract for controlling barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) was investigated. Crude extracts of dried powdered peel with 70% methanol before and after chlorophyll removal were compared. The crude extract without chlorophyll showed greater inhibition efficiency of seed germination than the extract containing chlorophyll. Moreover, the extract of chlorophyll-lacking fraction was shown to contain ABA, a known growth inhibitor in various plant species. This fraction also showed higher concentration of ABA than before chlorophyll removal which greatly correlated to the weeds germination inhibition test. This work suggested the ability of the crude extract of Citrus reticulata’s peel to control weed growth could be enhanced by chlorophyll removal.


L. out of this work show a cost reduction of ~1000-fold compared to previous methods of protoplast isolation in switchgrass, with a cost of $0.003 (USD) per reaction for mesophyll protoplasts and $0.018 for axenic cell culture-derived protoplasts. Further, the efficiency of protoplast change was optimized threefold over prior strategies, despite a fourfold decrease in DNA volume. The methods created in this function remove the price barrier previously restricting high-throughput testing of genome-editing and gene silencing goals in switchgrass, paving the true way for better development of transgenic plant life. L.) was selected for further research. Previous research provides demonstrated the financial viability of switchgrass as both an agricultural and biofuel crop (McLaughlin and Kszos 2005). However, a major financial barrier towards the broad usage of switchgrass being a lignocellulosic feedstock may be the recalcitrance of cell wall space to digestion. To be able to decrease recalcitrance, numerous research have centered on the era of transgenic plant life with changed lignin and cell wall structure destined phenolics (Fu et al. 2011; Ragauskas et al. 2014; Shen et al. 2012, 2013). Furthermore, since switchgrass is certainly a non-model crop, it’s been necessary to recognize promoters that may successfully regulate the appearance of transgenes in switchgrass (Mann Wortmannin price et al. 2011, 2012b). Although some success continues to be accomplished in the era of transgenic switchgrass with changed cell wall structures, the existing route from id of focus on promoters and genes, through callus change, accompanied by phenotypic characterization in Wortmannin price the greenhouse is extremely laborious and slow (Burris et al. 2009; Li and Qu 2011). While previous research has attempted to utilize switchgrass protoplasts for transient screening, the procedure was cost prohibitive, slow, and not very efficient (Mazarei et al. 2008). Considering the importance for quick testing of promoter efficiency, genome-editing and silencing targets, and gene expression in switchgrass, the development of a rapid, low-cost protoplast isolation and transformation system was the primary objective of this work. Methods and Materials Herb materials cv. Alamo seeds had been extracted from Bemert Seed (Muleshoe, Tx, USA). For preliminary optimization, Alamo seed products had been planted at an approximate thickness of 20?mg/cm2 in Fafard? 3B earth mix (Sunlight Gro Horticulture, Agawam, Massachusetts, USA), and harvested using a 16?h light, 4?h dark cycle at 22?C to create lawns of switchgrass plant life in flats. For preliminary harvests, the plant life had been grown up for 2?weeks, as well as the leaves had been cut using a scalpel to approximately 1 then.5?cm above the earth and employed for protoplast isolation (see Fig.?1). For time-course tests, each level was split into four quadrants where tissue was gathered from each quadrant Rabbit Polyclonal to ADCK2 at 8, 14, 22, and 29?times after planting (Fig.?1). Regrowth was evaluated 7, 14, 21, and 28?times following preliminary harvest. Open up in another screen Fig.?1 Schematic of switchgrass lawns demonstrating stage of growth of leaf tissues when harvested from each quadrant (cv. Alamo genotype ST1 cell suspension system cultures had been set up from node lifestyle as defined previously (Alexandrova et al. 1996) and preserved in KM8 moderate (Kao and Michayluk changed basal moderate, Phytotechnology Laboratories, Overland Recreation area, Kansas, USA) by adding 20?% sucrose, 10?% glucose, 0.025?% fructose, 0.025?% sorbitol, 0.025?% mannitol, 0.2?mg/L zeatin, 1?mg/L NAA, 0.1?mg/L 2,4-d (Kao and Michayluk 1975). Suspension cultures were incubated in the dark at 30?C Wortmannin price on a rotary shaker at 105?rpm. Liquid cell suspension ethnicities were subcultured every 5C7?days and callus ethnicities were subcultured month to month. Five days after subculture, ST1 cell suspensions were used to produce protoplasts. Protoplast isolation Isolation of protoplasts from leaf cells was used from the procedure explained for (Sheen Wortmannin price 2001) with several modifications. Leaf protoplasts were isolated from mesophyll cells inside Wortmannin price a buffer answer (0.6?M mannitol, 10?mM MES, 1?mM CaCl2, 5?mM 2-mercaptoethanol, and 0.1?% BSA, pH 5) comprising food-grade enzymes in the manufacturers suggested concentrations (Rohament CL 1320 ECU, Rohapect 10L 840 ADJU, and Rohapect UF 0.0065 ADJU) (AB Enzymes, Darmstadt, Germany) and filtered through a 0.22?m syringe filter (Millipore Express PES Membrane, Merk Millipore Ltd, Tullagreen, Carrigtwohill Co. Cork, Ireland). Leaf cells was harvested from each quadrant at 8, 14, 22, and 29?days after planting (Fig.?1), slice into 2?mm strips inside a Petri dish and weighed. Additionally, regrowth was assessed at 7, 14, 21, and 28?days following the initial harvest to determine whether the switchgrass lawn system could be used repeatedly over time without a decrease in the protoplast yield. Cut leaf cells was added to the enzyme buffer answer (ca. 200?mg tissues/10?mL solution) and incubated with shaking at 80?rpm for 30?min to 24?h,.


TAMPA, FL, Apr 17, 2020 – Cyber Chasse introduced FARMlytics, a soil moisture sensor that ingests data into Splunk, in India. This device allows farmers to monitor the field conditions from anywhere by analyzing the data on the Splunk dashboard.
The manual methods of data collection can be replaced by advanced techniques of data collection using sensors. As the concept of IoT became popular, companies are applying various information communication technologies (ICT) and big data technologies to increase the efficiency of cultivation.
Anil Kumar, director of Cyber Chasse said, “we can apply low-cost IoT systems and cloud computing to determine the moisture content of soil and control the facilities. In addition to these, the technique to analyze the collected data can greatly improve the efficiency of cultivation.”
It is estimated that poor water availability and increase in global temperature correlates to a 15%-20% drop in overall crop production. The solution to this problem lies in useful data analytics. This compelled the team of Cyber Chasse to build a device that reshapes the way the challenges involved in farming are addressed.
“We are in a critical stage of agriculture, where there is a significant change in the climate condition. IoT technology can give farmers the ability to leverage data and improve their operation. This is what FARMlytics is about,” says Ashish Yadav, chief technlogy officer of Cyber Chasse.
Anil added, “We have a better approach of determining soil moisture than looking at the thermometer, barometers, and hygrographs. Currently, we are working with Ridge Farmhouse Pvt. Ltd., an India-based agriculture company, to deploy the FARMlytics system on 36 acres of land for productive farming.”
IoT has come up as a second wave in the field of agriculture and is helping farmers increase yields by making better decisions using accurate data. It has brought huge benefits like – monitoring field in real-time, efficient use of water, optimization of resources and more. With seamless end-to-end operations, produce is likely to get processed faster than before.
