It is true that much of the public is being misinformed. The practices of modern agriculture and large scale farming are leaving the soils depleted of nutrients. Growing more in less space causes plants to grow weaker and susceptible to pests and weeds. To control these pest and weeds we need more pesticides and herbicides. In order to dump more chemicals we need crops that will survive the use of them. This is what many crops that are genetically modified are designed to do. The same companies that are pushing GMO crops on us are making the pesticides and herbicides.
Meanwhile we are ingesting these chemicals. Cancer, Alzheimer’s and Autism are on the rise with no apparent cause. There is a reason GMO’s are banned in many European countries – and if not banned – labeling is required in 64 countries. Meanwhile members of the Supreme Court and the FDA are also employed or have been employed by these same companies that engineer the GMO crops and the pesticides and herbicides that are dumped on them. Get informed spread the word. Here is a good place to start. http://www.saynotogmos.org/
Are you pissed off yet?


We interviewed Landscape Architect Jeffrey Bruce, consultant to Michael Vergason Landscape Architects, Ltd., to get the scoop on the specialty soil he has formulated for Tisch Park. But first, a crash course on what’s happened so far below the (future) surface of the park.
If you’re closely following the East End Transformation’s progress, either in person or via the webcams, it’s evident that change happens on the site every day.
Over the summer, for example, the underground parking garage took shape with its exposed, white concrete lid:
And that mysterious black square that appeared on the garage lid in late July? No, not the start of a skating rink. A test sample of the waterproofing system that eventually would cover the entire lid surface:
Next came the “choker grit” — i.e the gravel — an essential component for proper water drainage:
Then came the sand. For a brief, glorious moment, we had our own “Brookings Beach.”
And soon will come the soil. That’s engineered, scientific soil, not dirt. Make no mistake — they’re not the same thing. Just ask a soil scientist.
“Dirt is stuff that lands on your floor that you need to sweep up,” said Bruce, whose firm Jeffrey L. Bruce & Co., specializes in green infrastructure. “The technical term for what we’re talking about is soil. And the right soil can make every difference. It can overcome manmade and natural stressors and contribute to the landscape and the environment.”
Below are some excerpts from our conversation with Bruce regarding Tisch Park’s engineered soil.
Tisch Park will be an expansive landscape of lawns, trees and rain gardens. As the university’s “front yard,” it will be a high-profile, high-traffic area. What about your soil mix ensures it will thrive?
We considered many factors when thinking about the soil and how it should perform. We wanted a soil to support large trees. We also needed a soil that could handle a lot of wear from special events and day-to-day activities. Naturally occurring soils aren’t up to that task. They’re highly variable and easily degraded by intense use. So we created a blend that is a mix of sand and organic matter. The organics provide nutrients so plants can grow. The organic matter also influences soil moisture. In soil design, we are trying to accomplish two different objectives. You want the soil to be free-draining so excess water moves out and away. But we want to maintain enough water for plant growth.
Organic matter? As in composting? What kind of compost do you use?
Compost can be made from a number of waste products such as animal waste, food waste, clippings and leaves, filter cakes from wastewater treatment. Each type of compost has different contaminants and challenges — from too much nitrogen to not enough of the right organic matter. It’s a challenge to get the right mix.
Your soil mix for WashU will live on top of a parking garage. Are there other unconventional places where you’ve been challenged to help things grow?
I can think of two projects. We recently completed the renovation of Navy Pier in Chicago, where soil for shade trees was on top of the pier running over a half-mile into Lake Michigan. And we’ve put soil on top of a cruise ship to create a natural grass sundeck. It was a challenge because if you put much weight on top of a cruise ship it will increase the chance of it rolling over. So there, the soil was only one-half of an inch. For most high-use situations, like the campus here, we’ll put down five to 12 inches of soil. The tree beds are deeper, about 24 inches. And the trees in the allées will have 36 to 42 inches. That’s over 20,000 cubic yards of soil.


When we call a wine ‘acoustic’, rather than electric, we are talking about a wine which seeks out and reclaims the roots, individuality and values of traditional viticulture. Produced using only local varieties (Garnatxa Negra, Peluda, red and white Carinyena, Macabeu and Pansal) as opposed to the "globalisation" of many wines which are so cosmetic and created using international varieties. We believe that traditional varieties are best suited to express the character and identity of this land and its culture. We seek to convey all the individuality, history, landscape and personality of Montsant. The philosophy is clear: acoustic wines, vineyard wines, unique wines, pure wines, imperfect wines, “unplugged”, non-cosmetic wines, based on the strength and uniqueness of the old vines.
Wonderful old vines
We directly manage 54 hectares (42 hectares as owners) of old noble Garnatxa, Garnatxa Blanca, Pansal and Carinyena vines within the D.O. Montsant. The vineyards are varied and are situated in the areas of Els Guiamets, Marçà, Capçanes, La Serra d'Almos, Cornudella del Montsant and El Masroig. They are located between 300 and 700 metres above sea-level and are between 25 and 95 years old. We also manage old olive trees, some of them over a hundred years old, and some almond trees.
The Marçà Winery
The winery is located on the outskirts of Marçà. We have facilities for production, barrel-ageing and bottling within the winery. It is completely climate controlled providing the ideal temperature and storage conditions. We are currently working on the construction of a new and larger winery, fully integrated into the landscape, built beneath the ground, in the Coma de l'Hostal estate (a 10 hectare estate opposite the current winery, also in Marçà).


A Maidda - The Strategy
To best guarantee the wholesomeness of our dishes, we essentially focus on two aspects that represent the cornerstones of our activity. The use of ancient grains with immediate and delayed beneficial effects, worked with procedures borrowed by traditions that undoubtedly amplify those advantages. We use specific flours that have different characteristics and preparation methods, suited to the peculiarity of individual foods. The respect of vegetable seasonality and their relative cooking methods represents yet another fundamental element to guarantee the highest standards of quality and healthiness.
All the varieties of wheat cultivated before the selection of grains for industrial purposes starting from 1970's, are today defined as ancient grains. They have not been irradiated with gamma rays, they have not undergone genetic alterations in the laboratory and they are cultivated with traditional methods. Ancient grains have an extremely lower gluten content compared to modern grains, an aspect closely related to the onset of gluten sensitivity which is particularly widespread nowadays. They are not genetically modified so as to minimize the risk of certain autoimmune diseases. Thanks to these characteristics, ancient grains are considerably more digestible and healthier over time, making it possible to prevent gluten intolerance. Ancient wheat flours are rich in a wide variety of biologically active phytochemicals such as polyphenols, which perform important nutraceutical functions, including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, cardiovascular, antioxidant and antiviral activity.
Choosing a seasonal product is an advantage for our health because off-season products have all the disadvantages of a forced production.
Nature has prepared foods according to our seasonal needs. Oranges are rich in vitamin C which is useful for winter infections, as well as Cruciferae (cabbage, broccoli, turnip greens) are rich in micronutrients which are present only in winter in horticulture and help our immune system and support the body when exposed to low temperatures. On the contrary, summer foods are rich in water and minerals, as for example cucumbers, watermelon, tomatoes, zucchini which are useful for replenishing minerals we lose through skin perspiration.
Freezing and some cooking methods reduce the salubrious effectiveness of the polyphenols that constitute heterogeneous group of natural substances especially reknown for their beneficial action on health. Polyphenols are abundant in fresh vegetables, and cooking considerably reduces the polyphenol content of food. For this reason, we prefer to use steam cooking, avoiding high temperatures.
The adjustment of cooking temperature is also important to neutralize proteins having harmful effects on health, known as lectins, especially abundant in Solanaceae and cereals. Proper cooking is therefore strategic to maximize the beneficial polyphenolic content and to neutralize the harmful effect of lectins.

South Dakota beekeepers facing industry’s “darkest days”
South Dakota beekeepers — among the largest players in the U.S. pollination and honey industries — are reeling from a nationwide spike in honeybee colony losses that has the potential to affect 90 different agricultural crops across the country and could raise the price of fruit, vegetables and nuts if the problem gets worse.
In 2018, the state’s beekeepers brought in more than $23 million from the sale of honey from roughly 255,000 hives. South Dakota ranked fourth in the nation in terms of honey production that year. But declining numbers of bees, both domestic and wild, threatens yields on crops ranging from almonds and apples on the West Coast to cotton and cranberries in the East.

I recently rented a plot of land at the urban garden at Clifton Park. It's part of the Baltimore City Farms project, to get people to start growing their own food. I haven't planted anything in years, not since I lived in SoCal (what about that earthquake, huh?) and had a little yard I grew things in. So I am going to start small, first by setting up the plot (in the process now) and then planting in it. A friend who has been growing stuff there for years recommended Mel Bartholomew's Square Foot Gardening, now in a new edition! I'm finding it helpful.
I've started some seeds inside, and I'm trying to figure out exactly where to leave them in my apartment. For now I've put the seed starters in my kitchen window. I am growing Romas, chili peppers, bell peppers and catnip indoors. Will try plant carrots, lettuce and onions outdoors.


Joy we share
Along rhine kilometer 531 we cultivate riesling vines, to anually compose wine and sparkling wine, to us and our friend's taste.
Our roots in viticulture met in Geisenheim. Since then, we develop our understanding in working with the soil, the vines, the grapes, the must and the wine.
We found friends and started a family. They are a part of our expedition to oenology.
Wine & Sparkling
48 Month yeast contact
Our most complex and fruity sparkling wine is composed through traditional bottle fermentation and at least 48 months of contact on the lees.
At river kilometer 525, in the ruins of the Hindenburg Bridge, we created our retreat, from which we have a direct access to our vineyards and the Rüdesheim hills.
This is the place where we celebrate with our friends or after a hard day's work in the vineyard, gather strength.

|My allotment in Liverpool|
These are wonderful vegetables, with solid orange flesh, that can be roasted in the oven or cooked and mashed with potato.
I also discovered that they were sublime cut into chunks and barbequed on a skewer, after brushing with olive oil.
They need to be sown in heat in March or April to ensure a growing season long enough to ensure that they ripen. I sowed 8 in peat pots to provide 6 plants. The shot on the left shows the pots with cougettes, cucumbers, peppers and chillis.
The shot on the top left was taken on the 1st July 2006 and the plants are filling the frames. Watering regularly is vital as they are thirsty plants whose big leaves lose a lot of moisture. I cheated and put some slug pellets down just in case of damage, but I think that in future I will not bother unless I see problems.
The above shot taken on October 4th 2006 shows 6 fruit in storage, hanging in the shed in netting to avoid pressure on the skins and to allow the air to circulate. The two plants produced 11 squashes each between 1 and 2 Kg in weight, and in future I will grow 6 plants as they store right through the winter.
|Grow your own squashes|
Left to their own devices they will trail for several feet in all directions so I decided to contain two plants in one of my deep beds the sides of which I raise as the plants grow. I mulched the soil with a covering of rotted horse manure, fed weekly with Miracle-gro and waited.
I covered them with polythene which was lifted as shown on sunny days to allow the air to circulate.
The fruit must be left to ripen, and if it has not turned orange-yellow it is not ripe.
The shot above left taken on 4th September shows an immature fruit, hence the pale colour. The leaves are starting to lose the lushness and die back, this is normal, do not be tempted to pull them yet.
Planted 6 Butternut squash plants as planned into raised beds.
The wooden stonehenge arrangements are to keep the polythene of the frame high so that the rain runs off. I am also planting some more seeds tomorrow - just in case I have acted too early!
|They have been under cover for two weeks and are touching the polythene|
|The first of 3 modules is added to raise the sides and give more headroom|
|Three inches of mulch is added which will keep the weeds down and the fruits off the soil.|
|Finally the cover is put back on to protect from the elements.|
|The differences from last year is that the modules are full size rather than half size to improve the light and let the plants intermingle, they are also a month earlier. I have planted 6 plants instead of two.|
Growth is rapidly accelerating as the longer days give more light.
The minimum night-time temperature since they were planted out 1 month ago was 7.5C and the maximum 22.6C. This has meant regular attention to the frames, opening in the day and closing at night.
Plenty of small squashes are growing.
I have tried eating them at this stage almost like courgettes but it pays to let them ripen thouroughly
Ready for storage.
These 20 large squashes will last the winter. The total crop was 32 and the total weight was 35KG.
This monster weighed
well over 2 Kilograms and provided several meals.
|Growing butternut squash is easy - 2006-2009 see the progress below|
Delicious, prolific and easy to grow. This was my first attempt to grow butternut squash, something that I thought would be difficult in the North of England. I decided that protection from wind and cold would be an advantage and ended up with the arrangement seen below right, building up the frame with my modules as the plants grew.
My intention was to grow 6 plants and this was done sucessfully. The results were superb and the squashes lasted all through the winter.
I did not use slug pellets or Miracle-gro and thus they were truly organic with the mulch of horse manure.
|Using one of the full size rectangles, I have bolted six uprights to it and it is easy to bolt on the cross members and make lids which can be lowered or raised as necessary. The whole thing is hinged to allow access and prevent it being blown away.|
|Three houses to contain a total of six plants again are now complete.
It will be easy to move them around the plot in order to rotate the plantings.
In the Autumn I will grow over-wintering peas in one, broad beans in another and salad in the third.
|The whole unit is easily tipped up for access. This shot taken on 5th June shows how late the season is this year compared with 2007 (above). This year however is really the norm and 2007 was exceptionally mild in April and May.|
I decided to build modules that will let light in the sides. They can be moved around the plot and be used for other crops. Heavy duty polythene is used and it can resist all but the strongest gales as long as they are well secured and the lids closed during windy weather.
I have used a different variety of squash this year which I hope will provide more, smaller fruits.
|See how I grew this|
|This video was taken on 1st August 2009 and covers the whole of my plot. It had just been judged in the "Best plot in Liverpool" competition|
Butternut Squash do grow outside in the North of England
These pictures are of the same squash grown outside on a 7th plant that I could not bear to throw away, It weighed in at a massive
2.584Kg and as Tesco were selling them for £1.75 Kg on that day, it was worth £4.52. There are another 4 on the plant!
|On the left the cover has been tipped back to allow access and I have pushed the leaves down, still leaving the fruit attached but exposed to the sunlight ( the cover was replaced) to help the ripening processs.
The fruit must be dry and very yellow with no hint of green before puuing into storage.
I moved them to the greenhouse to dry the skins completely before moving them into my attic.
|Squash stored in my attic on 27th October and the 2 remaining ones on 27th April 2009.
The first squash was eaten on the 4th September which means that there was 8 months when they were available, a total of 49.7Kg.
For 2009 I am going to experiment with growing some outdoors up supports as they naturally climb.


One of the best things I saw on my trip to Joburg was a veggie garden that I spotted in Craighall Park. This particular household has turned their verge into a vegetable garden and the best thing… it’s for their neighbourhood not themselves. Yes, their whole verge dedicated is to growing vegetables and herbs which anyone can go and pick. The only rule… just pick what you can eat. Isn’t this a wonderful idea? I’d love to see these start popping up in Cape Town.
There’s nothing like picking one’s own vegetables, fruit and herbs, it really brings a lot of joy and contentment to know you’ve grown your food yourself. If you get creative you can actually achieve this in the smallest of spaces, from clever container gardens to roof tops. I’ve got a few herbs on the go but I want to plant more veggies. What are your thoughts on vegetable gardens? Do you have green fingers?


The FROGS (French Refinement Of Groundwater Scenarios) groundwater scenarios and model interface have been developed as a higher-tier tool for the French
pesticide registration procedure. These national scenarios are intended for the assessment of the risk of Plant
Protection Products' active substances and their metabolites to leach to groundwater. They are currently available
for use on winter wheat, winter barley, oilseed rape, maize fodder, maize grain, sugar beet, potato and sunflower.
The scenarios were generated to reflect typical realistic conditions and practices under which arable crops are
grown in France. They consist of the combination of a limited number of Agronomic Units (AU, homogeneous geographic
entities which show common agricultural and physical conditions) associated to representative soil, weather, crop
rotations and phenological information. The work was initiated by the INRA SSM ComTox precursor workgroup on French
groundwater scenarios (Commission d'étude de la toxicité - Sous-groupe environnement - Atelier ESO), and continued
by a dedicated UIPP workgroup who finalized the scenarios and produced a workable tool, including a database where
all input parameters are stored in a transparent way and a user-friendly model interface to be used in combination
with the groundwater model PEARL. FROGS has been peer-reviewed by the French regulatory authorities.
The FROGS (French Refinement Of Groundwater Scenarios) model interface, documentation and training material can be freely downloaded from this website.

This business' history starts in Sarteneja (Pueblonuevo del Guadiana, Extremadura), the family country house located in an irrigated land where, from decades, tomatoes are harvested. In the morning, before it is hot, the family went out to gather some tomatos so that later grnadma could prepare them in many ways: soup, picadillo, with a splash of olive oil or fried, the one they love the most.
Years later, they decided they could bottle tomatoes and use them all year round. Little by little, they started to give them to their relatives and friends and, as they loved them, the family ended up creating 'Cortijo de Sarteneja'.

About Rootstown Organic Farm
Certification and living up to the Organic Standards was a big part of the farms' story until the last year or so. The regulations have become so convoluted and difficult to comply with that at this time Rootstown Organic Farm chooses not to certify.
But, that doesn't mean that Rootstown Organic Farm has changed any of their practices. The food is the same and Bill Pennell's commitment to growing clean delicious food remains the same. Really, the farm hasn't changed at all. The same seasonal tasks and daily rituals that go along with great farming are still in place.
CSA Community Supported Agriculture
For over 25 years, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer.
Here are the basics: a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables, but other farm products may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription") and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.
This arrangement creates several rewards for both the farmer and the consumer. In brief:
Advantages for farmers:
- Get to spend time marketing the food early in the year, before their 16 hour days in the field begin
- Receive payment early in the season, which helps with the farm's cash flow
- Have an opportunity to get to know the people who eat the food they grow
Advantages for consumers:
- Eat ultra-fresh food, with all the flavor and vitamin benefits
- Get exposed to new vegetables and new ways of cooking
- Usually get to visit the farm at least once a season
- Find that kids typically favor food from "their" farm – even veggies they've never been known to eat
- Develop a relationship with the farmer who grows their food and learn more about how food is grown

Apartment Balcony Gardening
Don’t have your own plot of land as a renter, but still want to garden? If you’ve got a balcony, a porch or even just a stoop, you can grow almost anything (climate-appropriate, of course). Flowers, herbs, vegetables – even small trees – can all be grown in pots, planters or window boxes. The ingredients are the same, but there are a few additional tips to consider.
The most significant difference between an in-ground garden and containers is the amount of water that is retained. The smaller volume of containers means that moisture evaporates much more rapidly, especially if the spot is sunny or windy. In extreme locations, watering might be necessary twice a day. Compost, moss, mulch and even rocks placed on the surface can help slow this process.
One of the factors in water retention is the quality of the soil. Most likely, you’ll be purchasing potting soil to fill your containers. Organic, quick-draining, moisture-retaining, nutrient-rich soil will get your plants off to a great start. If you have access, grab some fresh worms and throw them in, too! They will keep adding nutrients back into the soil and keep it healthy.
While pots are technically mobile, you are likely limited to a small outdoor area and unable to mitigate lighting conditions. If you are growing vegetables, 6-8 hours of sun will be important. Many flowers also have sun requirements. If you don’t have a lot of sun, greens will still thrive along with a whole host of shade-loving flowers and plants.
The larger the container, the better chance your plants can retain water and spread their roots to grow strong. The shape is key, as well – tapered pots expose more of the soil to the elements. For hot climates or south-facing spaces, light-colored materials will help to avoid overheating the roots; in cooler climates, darker colors help to retain heat and extend the growing season.
But, the most important tip? Just pay attention to your plants. You can read up about the requirements for each one, sure, but your plants will tell you when they aren’t getting what they need. Enjoy the process, establish a bond and get your garden on!

This incredible wonder fiber is naturally strong, durable and resistant to UV light and mold. Hemp was first spun in to a usable fire over 10,000 years ago, and has had a hard time over the years with politics. It’s now making a come back as it still one of the most quality choices for its low environmental impact. The plant itself is highly resilient, requiring little to no herbicide or pesticide to grow and little water, it’s also 100% natural which makes it compostable. As it grows it regenerates and improves soil health~ Per acre, hemp produces more fibre than cotton, linen, bamboo & even trees. The soil is renewed with each growth cycle, creating a fertile & balanced ecosystem, empowering community & connection.
It is truly the master plant and is incredibly versatile, strong & regenerative.
When you wear hemp, you are allowing your body the planet and our next generation to breathe better. So, thank you for choosing ethical, slow fashion, and natural fibers.
Linen is produced from the fibres of the flax plant which is grown on marginal land unsuitable for food crops, uses less water then cotton production and is naturally toxin free, requiring no pesticides and little to no fertilizer. It is a gift that keeps on giving, being a long lasting and beautiful fabric that is very kind to the Earth.
This fibre is highly absorbent and breathable which makes it ideal for warm weather and cold. The fibre has the ability to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It’s truly magic. Another great part about linen is that it is so durable that it only ever gets softer over time and will last a lifetime~ our garments are make to be lived well in and passed down generations.


It is very hard to access health care here because it’s expensive and the people don’t have the money. So when people get sick and need help they can’t do anything about it. Water is essential for living, you can’t cook or grow anything.
Without water the human body can’t sustain itself. Because there is not a lot of water its hard to grow food and have proper meals so, the people become malnourished. Water is one of the biggest issues in the small villages that me and my mom saw. First of all in most areas the land is so dry that whole rivers dry up and and the earth begins to crack. People have to walk up to twenty kilometers just to get to the water source. The Wells are not always reliable and break very easily, sometimes they don’t even give out a full bucket of water. When the wells aren’t working the villagers go to the dried up rivers. They dig big deep holes by hand until they reach water. Because it is so dry sometimes the holes are up to twenty feet deep. Everyone is fighting for water, even the animals. Moshi told us about two women who came to the water whole one night and a hyena killed them because it wanted water too. The plants grown here are very unhealthy. When me and my mom went to the market we passed by all the different types of vegetables and fruits like tomatoes, carrots, oranges, bananas, watermelon, and papaya. People in the villages don’t even get these types of plants, they don’t even eat green vegetables. What is mainly eaten is something called Ugali ( a dough form of corn meal), beans rice, and on special occasions chicken, goat, or cow. Many families don’t even have enough money to make these things. It makes me really sad because in all the villages we went to, the majority of the kids had distended stomachs from malnutrition. That is why me and my mom went to those villages with a man named Richard. Richard went to the schools and taught the kids in these villages how to grow food using special techniques in this dry environment. One of the techniques was making a sac garden that uses rocks in the centre which makes water go right to the bottom, so that after the initial growing phase it only takes a cup of water to grow. Seeing this has made me realize that i’m very lucky. I have running water, a great healthcare system, and food on my table.


The Ficus Ginseng likes a light position out of the full sun. The lighter the position, the more water it will need, so give it regular water and don’t let the root ball dry out. The plant can even stand outside for a while in the summer, as long as the temperature doesn’t drop below 12-15 degrees Celsius. Give it less water in the winter and not at all between 12-15 degrees Celsius. The consumer can remove yellow, brown or damaged leaves and can prune the plant in the darker months, to keep the Ficus in shape. The roots don’t need to be pruned.


Can chickens eat morning glory? This is a question that many chicken owners may have when considering what to feed their feathered friends.
Morning glory is a beautiful flowering plant that is commonly found in gardens and backyards.
While it may be safe for humans to consume, it is important to know whether or not it is safe for chickens to eat.
Chickens are known for being curious creatures that will eat just about anything they come across. It is important to be mindful of what they are consuming, as some plants can be toxic to them.
In this article, we will explore whether or not morning glory is safe for chickens to eat, the potential risks of feeding it to them, and safe alternatives to consider.
If you want to learn more you can read my longer article about Discover What Do Hens Like To Eat: Feeding Tips & More
Can Chickens Eat Morning Glory?
Chickens can eat morning glory, but it's important to note that morning glory leaves and seeds contain a substance that may be toxic to chickens if consumed in large quantities. Therefore, it's best to limit their access to morning glory and provide a balanced diet that includes a variety of safe and nutritious foods for their overall health and well-being.
As a chicken owner, you may wonder if your feathered friends can eat morning glory. The answer is not straightforward, as it depends on the part of the plant and the quantity consumed.
According to my research, morning glory seeds contain a naturally occurring tryptamine called Lysergic Acid Amide (LSA), which acts as a hallucinogen and can cause other health-related issues for smaller pets.
Therefore, it is not recommended to feed your chickens morning glory seeds.
On the other hand, the flowers and leaves of the morning glory plant are safe for chickens to consume.
However, it is important to note that morning glory is not a nutritious food for chickens, and it is best to feed them a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs.
It’s also worth noting that chickens generally won’t eat enough of anything toxic to cause them significant trouble.
However, it’s always better to be on the side of caution and avoid feeding them potentially harmful plants.
While chickens can eat morning glory flowers and leaves, it is not a recommended food source for them.
It’s best to stick to a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs and avoid feeding them morning glory seeds.
Potential Risks of Morning Glory for Chickens
As a chicken owner, it’s important to know what your flock can and cannot eat. While some foods are perfectly safe for chickens, others can be harmful or even deadly.
In the case of morning glory, there are a few potential risks that you should be aware of.
Morning glories are poisonous to chickens due to the presence of a naturally occurring tryptamine called Lysergic Acid Amide (LSA).
This compound is closely related to LSD and can act as a hallucinogen if ingested.
While chickens are not likely to seek out morning glory seeds, it’s important to keep them away from any plants in your yard or garden.
In addition to the potential toxicity issues, morning glory can also cause digestive problems for chickens. Morning glory is too tough for chickens to digest properly.
This can lead to digestive upset, including diarrhea and vomiting.
If your chickens do happen to eat morning glory, it’s important to monitor them closely and contact a veterinarian if they show any signs of illness.
To keep your chickens safe, it’s best to avoid feeding them morning glory or allowing them access to any plants in the morning glory family.
Instead, provide them with a balanced diet of chicken feed and fresh fruits and vegetables that are known to be safe for chickens.
By being aware of the potential risks of morning glory, you can help keep your flock healthy and happy.
