As our population increases, the insect population grows with it. The majority of plants used in our area are imported from other locations and the pests come with them. Few are dangerous but most are annoying to us and can damage our plants. Our warm, dry climate is ideal for a variety of insects and we must learn how to control them. Forget. Phytophthora Root Rot: This root rot is one of the most serious and difficult-to-control fungal diseases that affects a wide range of plants in South Carolina. It is caused by a soil-borne fungus, Phytophthora cinnamomi, and the most common symptom is the slow decline of the on the plant will become thin or sparse. Some plants may die one branch at a time, until the entire plant dies.

Considerations. Aphids often congregate in the curling leaves of the plant or high in a tree's.


My first time every BLT
I’ve had to explain this a number of times already why I never had a BLT before. First, until I joined my local Community Supported Agriculture group a few years ago, I always hated tomatoes (shout out to Fairshare Farms CSA!).
Turns out that locally grown tomatos with real live sun and hot weather are a far cry from the tomatoes I hated. I committed to trying everything that came from the CSA and I’m glad I did as I am now a tomato lover. Well, in season and local tomato lover.
Also, we rarely buy loaves of bread, so there was not always bread in the house even if I had tomatoes from the CSA. And, we don’t typically eat bacon for breakfast, so it isn’t here regularly either. We do eat bacon, just usually in recipes like baked beans or on spinach salads as examples. Lettuce of one kind or another we usually have.
This year one of our CSA partners is Companionship Breads.
So this week was the perfect storm. I had a tomato, lettuce, bacon, and 7-grain bread. Being me, I also did a little online research and discovered that I should use Hellmann’s mayo, toast the bread, and salt and pepper the tomatoes when I put them the sandwich.
And so I did.
And it was good.
PS I used the oven method for cooking the bacon. No muss, no fuss!
Oven at 350, line a baking sheet with foil if you wish, lay the bacon out in strips. 15-20 minutes. No spatter!


Agape - Social Justice Resources
"When we go to the supermarket, we rarely think about where our food comes from, who produces it, who harvests it, or what it takes to process, package, and distribute it. When many of us think about agriculture at all, we worry about the economic cost of groceries and not the environmental cost to our land or the human cost to farmers, farmworkers, and rural communities in the United States and around the world."

A little bit of gardening can go a long way in supporting the health of our planet. Whether you live in the city, suburbs or out in the woods, you can help local biodiversity flourish with a few of these simple spring garden tips. Learn how you can make small changes with big environmental impacts this season!
Soil is alive and its health matters. While you wait for warmer days to put your green thumb to use, consider getting to know your own soil a little better. Grab a handful of dirt. Does it fall apart in your hands like sand or clump like sticky clay? You can amend your soil either way to give those backyard plants their preferred type.
Many stores provide at-home kits to test the pH levels, or the acidity, of your garden. Knowing this information can help you narrow down what plants will thrive there or help determine whether you need to supplement the yard with different types of mulches or soils.
On the next sunny warm day, also try a worm count. Earthworms support necessary decomposition and naturally aerate the ground. Dig a hole about 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep. Sprinkle the dirt on a tarp or leftover cardboard boxes and sift through it as you put it back. If you count more than ten worms, the soil is healthy. If you count less, consider adding more composted materials to support their populations.
Mid to late March is, on average, a good time to start your seedlings indoors. While most seeds need 6 to 8 weeks to grow before frost’s last farewell and outdoor planting is on, check the package for more precise timing, as some seeds need more or less time.
Consider upcycling! Use paper towel or toilet paper rolls, cut in thirds or halves respectively, as starter pots for your seeds, but be sure to only water the top and let the sides dry in between waterings. When planting time comes, simply unravel the roll before it goes into the ground. You can also use take-out trays with holes poked in an inch-by-inch grid pattern at the bottom. The lids will also make a nice water catch.
A good portion of seeds, including vegetables, need diffuse light and constant warm temperatures to sprout and grow. Keep your seedlings near a secure draft-less window indoors if you don’t have a light setup. Plant about three seeds in a pot, as some will naturally not germinate. You can always thin them later should the seedlings get too congested. A little green goes a long way in beating those lingering winter blues.
Early spring is a great time to get out those ceramic and terracotta pots from storage and give them a good scrub down. It is important to clean pots before putting new plants inside, as often plants, pots, roots and soil may harbor bacteria or plant diseases that can spread to newcomers.
Clay pots that have been in use for a while may also display typical green or white splotches all over the outer portion. No need to worry — this is normal. As the plants grow and water forms pathways through the root systems and soil, the salt works its way out of the porous ceramic and crystalizes on the other side. Moss may also grow in and on clay pots.
Using a mixture of one-part vinegar and four-parts lukewarm water, you can soak the pots in a storage bin, kiddie pool or the tub for a half hour. Then give them a good scrub with a brush or metal scrubby. They will not only look spick and span this spring, but they also will be clean and free of germs.
As our fall-planted bulbs like crocuses and daffodils are sticking their green heads up and preparing to bloom, we can start planning our spring-planted bulb selections and locations. Gladiolus, dahlias, irises and daylilies are all put into the ground when spring warms up safely past frost and will bloom late summer and into fall. These particular bulbs also make the perfect choice for a pop of color in pot-bound urban gardens — when their leaves have yellowed, simply compost the bulbs or dig them out and store overwinter.
Be sure to shop for high-quality, heritage or heirloom bulbs to ensure they are free of infection and disease, as well as hardy enough for your zone. If you get your bulbs at a local store, avoid those with any soft spots and deep discoloration or those appearing very dry, cracked and shriveled. The papery outer coat and dried remaining roots coming out of the bottom are both completely fine and do not deter from the bulb’s health.
Most spring-planted bulbs are sensitive to frost, so mark your calendars for a warmer day in late spring to get them into the ground or a pot located in a sunny spot. In the meantime, however, store them in a dark, dry and cool place in a paper bag away from potentially hungry critters.
While some birds are hardwired to migrate only at specific times of the year, others have a more weather-related flexible approach. If the groundhog’s prediction is not quite on the nose and there are many sunny, balmy days near the end of winter, we may have some early visitors in the Northeast, including the Fox Sparrow, American Woodcock, Tree Swallow and Eastern Phoebe.
Early spring can be a very difficult time for both our fair-weathered and forever friends outdoors. The trees and plants have not yet produced this year’s seeds and blooms and the insects may still be hibernating. Food is scarce and the chilly nighttime temperatures can still dip below freezing. If you haven’t already, now is a good chance to hang a feeder or even sprinkle some seed on a small open patch to help support the diverse bird species found near you.
Those long rainy days of early spring are also a great time to build a birdhouse. The many different designs are each suited to particular types of bird — even those city-dwellers — so when selecting, consider which avian species are found nearby or that you may want to attract. Most birdhouses are fairly easy enough to construct for the amateur carpenter or interested birdwatcher. Use unpainted, untreated wood and galvanized screws for a sturdy, safe and long-lived house. Or, if you’re short on time, check out a local hardware store or bird-friendly shop for a prebuilt nestbox or platform!


Organic clothes follow a more eco-friendly approach compared to non-organic clothes. Organic clothing apparel is created in accordance with the organic standards, which means no genetically modified solutions were used, including pesticides, seeds, and other chemicals. More and more consumers prefer to buy organic tees because of the many benefits they bring. It is hypoallergenic, reducing the occurrence of skin allergies and irritations. Organic clothing is also softer than normal cotton yet equally insulating and durable.
Organic cotton is sustainable.
Organic cotton is closely associated with sustainability. Farmers of organic cotton want to produce a more sustainable crop regarding the condition of the fields, the air, water supply, and so on. In the production of organic cotton, farmers use natural fertilizers instead of synthetic fertilizers. They use all-natural seeds in their farming operations. Manufacturers of organic products go through a comprehensive supply chain by third-party entities, both government and non-government for verification.
There is a wide array of products made from organic cotton, including everything from home furnishings such as beds, bedding, sheets, towels, and blankets, to sanitary products and personal care items like ear swabs and cotton puffs. Organic cotton also creates diapers, toys, and many other children’s products. You can also see various types of apparel in the market today.
Here are more reasons to choose organic cotton garments in your next purchase.
Make soils healthier. Organic cotton can prevent soil erosion by up to 26%, whereas non-organic cotton uses harsh chemicals that cause changes in the soil composition, disrupting its natural balance. The production of non-organic cotton is considered chemically intensive and impacts the soil tremendously.
On the other hand, organic cotton farming has the ability to maintain and replenish the fertility of the soil. Its farming practices preserve beneficial bacteria due to its biologically diverse agriculture. It also supports the health of people and animals that are living near these organic farming regions.
Help fight climate change. Organic cotton agriculture can help address global emissions by reducing the release of greenhouse gas. Its production eliminates the need for using pesticides and fertilizers and lowers the input of nitrogen. The result is much lesser greenhouse gas emissions. Cotton production also lowers the overall impact of global warming.
Aid in water conservation. Growing and farming cotton requires a significant amount of water. One non-organic cotton tee requires more than 500 gallons of water to create. About 73% of the cotton production across the globe is located on irrigated land that receives less rainfall. Irrigation does not mean that it is bad, although it can be a problem when it is done excessively.
With organic cotton farming, it utilizes all resources more effectively, including water. This is because water conservation and healthy soils go well together. You can help conserve water and do your part to the environment by buying organic tees.
Promote natural habitats. Organic cotton farming does not use pesticides, as it controls pests by working hand in hand with nature. For example, a flock of birds can help take care of pests, rather than relying on chemicals. Organic farming centres on creating the right balance.
Organic cotton clothing is a continuously growing industry, as people and the environment benefit from it. So, choose organic tees to live healthier and more naturally.

The water-retaining agent equipment of Weifang customers in Shandong province is 38 meters long and 1.85 meters wide. The current power is 100KW, but the whole equipment is designed according to 150KW power, convenient for later equipment upgrading.
The water-retaining agent’s initial moisture is about 20%, and the client’s process requires drying to about 7%-8%.
The water-retaining agent is dried and then granular through a granulator.
The drying temperature of the product should not be too high, so the equipment design is longer than the conventional equipment. The temperature should be controlled, which is similar to the microwave sterilization equipment.
In the drying process, the drying and dehydration efficiency is generally at a temperature of about 80 degrees, which basically conforms to the dehydration law of 1KW microwave magnetron tube dewatering 1kg per hour.
The water-retaining agent is similar to organic fertilizer. The water-retaining agent uses super-absorbent resin, which is a kind of functional polymer material with strong water-absorbing capacity. The biggest feature is that the water retention effect is very good. According to its technical requirements, 1 gram of water-retaining agent can absorb 300 grams of water suitable for nurseries planting crops and trees in arid areas of northern or northwestern China, such as Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Tibet. In the planting process, the water retainer is put into the ground and then flooded with water. The water retainer absorbs water and does not require irrigation for a year. The water retainer then slowly evaporates the water, which contains a special type of organic fertilizer that promotes plant growth.
The water-retaining agent is insoluble in water and has the function of water-retaining, fertilizer preserving, and heat preservation improving soil structure.


We produce our liners in two main formats:
MP24 (24 cell tray) plug size 8cm diameter x 10cm deep
MP40 (40 cell tray) plug size 6cm diameter x 8cm deep
Our quality control starts at potting where we pre-grade all our rooted cuttings before potting into the trays. We cover the surface of the trays with a mulch to control weed and moss & liverwort without using any chemical sprays.
In this way we start with a uniform and clean product.
All MaxiPlugs are regularly pinched to produce a liner with as many breaks as possible. If required we can leave them unpinched for customers to train into standards.
During the entire cultural period Effective Microorganisms® are used to improve root growth and boost the plants natural defenses. This coupled with a cool growing regime results in a robust liner that will continue to develop strongly after potting up on your nursery.


MEDICINAL: Poppy is used for pain, insomnia, nervousness, and chronic coughs.
RELIGIOUS: Poppy seed pods are used in prosperity charms. The seeds are added to food to aid in getting pregnant. To find the answer to a question, write it in blue ink on a piece of white paper. Place the paper inside a poppy seed pod and put it beneath your pillow. The answer will come to you in a dream.
GROWING: Poppies are perennials that like poor to average soils that tend toward dryness. There are varieties that will grow most anywhere in North America. Their foliage tends to die off by July, after a spectacular showing of flowers in the spring, but the foliage begins rejuvenation around September, which waits until spring to begin growing again. There are many annual varieties, but the perennial ones are most commonly used for healing.

My mother always had a garden. To be precise, she had lots of gardens. Our yard was dotted with plants that were given the prospect of a good life from my mother’s hands. Through the backyard of my childhood, I grew alongside Black Diamond Watermelons and Paper Shell Pecan Trees. I believe my mother was devoted to us all.
Looking back, I see the imprint of my mother’s passion to till soil, plant seeds and cultivate crops. Remarkably, today I have only a vague idea of how to grow the plants she knew by heart. Nevertheless, through her gardening, she taught me valuable language that today shapes the landscape of my work.
When poet laureate Stanley Kunitz was asked for advice on how to write great poetry, he replied, “Grow a garden, it will help you with your metaphors.” I suspect he might have shared the same advice if he had been asked any question regarding teaching and learning.
Those of who dedicate our lives to the field of education should understand the powerful influence that metaphors have on our society. For example, if our underlying metaphor for teaching and learning is based on a factory model, we might view our children moving down an assembly line — vessels to be filled. One of the greatest challenges with this worldview is that it tends to overemphasize short-term outputs.
On the other hand, if we view young learners thriving beside us, as plants growing side-by-side in a garden, our actions and expectations change dramatically. We are much more likely to value longer-term outcomes, such as growing lifelong readers. Just like plants, avid readers grow best from a foundation rich in materials that are particularly suited to their needs, which brings us to books.
I like the metaphor of book gardens. As the CEO of Unite for Literacy, my mission is to create book gardens where there currently are book deserts and to nurture a spirit of lifelong reading throughout the world. Unite for Literacy’s online library is the primary way we plant book gardens, but we also produce and share printed books that go hand in hand with our digital collection.
Seeds, and books, are packed with potential; planting them carries an inherent message of hope. Our hope is that one day all families will cultivate book gardens within their homes and their children will grow to become lifelong readers.
I encourage you to garden with us. There is nothing more powerful than a caring adult sharing a favorite book with a young reader.

Key dates in our history
In 1905 Nicandro Mantova began his family business in Broccostella, a village in the countryside of central Italy, about 100 km from Rome, committed to selling agricultural products which included local olive oils.
At the end of the 50’s, his son Vincenzo and his descendants began the business of selecting and producing extra virgin olive oil.
At the beginning of the 80's, the company boldly undertook the mass production and sale of the best olive oils
on an international basis, laying the groundwork for the entrepreneurial success of Compagnia Alimentare Italiana
, currently among the leading companies in Italy for the production of high quality olive oils, vegetable oils, nutraceutical oils and condiments.
The delicate job of selecting and mixing the best olive oils is now entrusted to Adriano Mantova, who has inherited the know-how and traditions of four generations.
We are now a family business which treasures authentic, century old traditions as well as a dynamic industrial organization, which is both flexible and reliable, and capable of fully meeting its customers’ needs by remaining faithful to the motto "big enough to serve, small enough to care."
Our recent Research & Development activities have lead to the launch of a revolutionary spray oil, awarded with the 2014 Gulfood Award for Innovation.


A blog about my garden, my inspiration to garden and things about gardening that make me happy.
Hi Alison, I'm excited too as my new quince tree (Meeches Prolific) planted a week ago also has lots of lovely buds. It's looking rather droopy despite frequent watering, so I'm just hoping it will have lots of blossom and fruit later in the season. Hope your fruit set is good :-)
Thanks Nic, lets hope that we both get some fruit this year.
Wishing you the best of luck for quinces this year. Mine is in full leaf but no flowers yet :( So may have to spend on my hopes on yours
Thanks :) I hope you get some blossom soon.
Well at least the flowers are pretty...The weather has been a bit strange this year, one minute very cold, the next very wet.All the best :)
It has been an odd weather year - a short heatwave and a chilly weekend are on the horizon.
Your quince looks so promising. Mine has produced lots of flowers, but the leaves were damaged by frost last night. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Good luck with the remaining flower buds!

Nutrient Management Page
Nutrient management involves managing the type, timing, and application of nutrients (whether as animal waste, commercial fertilizer, or other form of nutrients) to plants. The purpose is to supply plant nutrients for optimum pasture and crop yields, minimize entry of nutrients to surface and groundwater and maintain or improve the condition of the soil
The basic elements of nutrient management planning include: livestock manure and wastewater management, nutrient budgeting for farm soils and animal feeds, and resource conservation through appropriate land management practices. Nutrient management plans are developed to address the needs of individual farmers as well as applicable regulations and other resource conservation goals.
In Vermont, guidelines, regulations, and resources exist to help encourage good practices that will ensure high water quality. The following are a list of the most common of these:
Accepted Agricultural Practices: These are guidelines that are required of anyone owning any livestock, including dairy, beef, goats, chickens, horses, and sheep. Some examples include the ban on spreading manure in the winter, and riparian buffer management requirements. The complete guidelines are available at the Vermont Agency of Agriculture website or
Large Farm Regulations: Farms with greater than 700 mature dairy cows, (950 beef cattle, 475 horses, or 2375 swine over 55 lbs), for example; are required to meet the standards of Vermont's Large Farm Regulations.
Medium Farm Regulations: Farms with greater than 200 but less than 700 dairy cows must meet the guidelines of the Medium Farm Operations regulations. (Other species are also addressed, including beef, horses and chickens).
There are a number of resources, both financial and educational, to help farmers understand the state and federal guidelines, meet mandated requirements, and work towards a farming system that protects water quality and increases farm sustainability.
The Southern Vermont Nutrient Management Program (SVNMP) is a joint project of the Poultney-Mettowee, Rutland, Bennington, Winooski, White River and Windham Conservation Districts. The program aims to improve management practices and increase farm sustainability while also working to maintain and improve local water quality. Nutrient Management Educator Jennifer Alexander works one-on-one with agricultural producers and coordinates research and educational programs.

The summer months can bring a drop in productivity and a rise in the absentee rate, but there are ways for manufacturers combat this, as several companies illustrate. One company hosts themed outdoor events each month, while another offers an on-site organic garden that employees can tend, Tina Hamilton tells FastComany.com.
“It doesn’t matter if a company is in its busy or slow time, employees are going on vacation or doing vacation-type things during the weekend,” Hamilton, who is president of the human resources outsourcing firm myHR Partner.
Instead of fighting the season, Hamilton says it’s better to embrace it. “You can’t change people’s feelings and emotions about wanting to be outside in summer,” she says. “It’s better to go with it, and do what you can to expose them to a little bit of summer fun. It can help them focus when it’s time to work.”
While myHR Partner beats the seasonal slump by allowing employees that can to work from home on Fridays in the summer, other companies are getting creative in their methods for beating the summer slump. Here are six fun ideas for making the most of being outside in the warm weather.
Boot manufacturer Timberland has an onsite organic garden that employees get to tend in the summertime. Started in 2007, the Victory Garden yields fresh produce for employees as well as the local community. Each day volunteer gardeners water, harvest, weed, and sell the produce at the company’s “farm stand” inside the building. Proceeds raised from the sales are donated to the New Hampshire Food Bank, and last year, the company was able to give more than $2,500.
“Employees often comment that the ‘break’ outside and away from their desk is beneficial to their mental health,” says Atlanta McIlwraith, senior manager of community engagement and communication. “They enjoy getting away for a short time and watering the garden, or just walking through the garden to see what’s growing.”

Organic foods have been growing in popularity as consumers become more conscious of the potential health and environmental risks associated with conventional farming practices. One of the main reasons people choose organic foods is to avoid consuming pesticides and other harmful chemicals. However, recent studies have shown that even organic foods may contain some degree of pesticide residue, albeit in much smaller quantities.
It is important to note that organic farming methods prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides. Instead, organic farmers rely on natural methods, such as crop rotation, beneficial insects, and organic-approved pesticides, to control pests. These methods are believed to be more sustainable and less harmful to human health and the environment. However, organic farmers face a challenge in completely eliminating pest damage without using any pesticides, as conventional farmers often utilize a wide range of insecticides.
The truth about pesticide residue on organic foods lies in the fact that organic farmers are not immune to external factors that can contaminate their crops. For example, neighboring conventional farms that employ pesticides can contribute to pesticide drift, leading to trace amounts of residue on organic produce. Additionally, organic-approved pesticides, although considered safer than their synthetic counterparts, may still leave traces on crops if not properly applied.
Research has shown that pesticide residue on organic fruits and vegetables is usually within the accepted safety limits set by regulatory agencies. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) establish maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides on food products. These limits are designed to protect public health and ensure that pesticide residues pose little to no risks when consumed at normal levels.
Furthermore, studies have consistently shown that the levels of pesticide residues found on organic foods are significantly lower than those found on conventional produce. A meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Nutrition compared the pesticide residue levels on organic and conventionally grown crops and concluded that organic food had roughly one-third the amount of pesticide residue compared to conventionally grown food.
While the presence of pesticide residue on organic foods may raise concerns, it is important to maintain perspective. Consuming organic foods, even with trace amounts of pesticide residue, still provides a substantial reduction in pesticide exposure compared to conventionally grown foods. The health benefits of consuming organic produce, which is generally higher in nutrients and free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), outweigh the potential risks associated with minimal pesticide residue.
To further minimize pesticide residues on organic foods, it is recommended to thoroughly wash all fruits and vegetables, even when labeled organic. This practice can help remove any residual pesticide, as well as dirt and bacteria. Additionally, supporting local organic farmers who employ responsible farming practices can help reduce the risk of pesticide drift from neighboring conventional farms.
In conclusion, the surprising truth about pesticide residue on organic foods is that it does exist, albeit in minuscule amounts. However, these levels are still significantly lower than those found on conventionally grown foods. Choosing organic foods remains a reliable way to reduce exposure to pesticides and potential health risks. It is essential to continue supporting organic farming practices and advocating for stricter regulations to ensure the safety and sustainability of our food system.

Only a few weeks left to left observe the official International Year of Natural Fibres (yes, we’re sticking with the international spelling here). For browngrotta arts and many of the artists we represent, of course, promotion of natural fiber in art and otherwise is a lifelong pursuit. In 2009, however, we had the assistance of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, which declared this year the International Year of Natural Fibres
If you haven’t been there, the website naturalfibres2009.org offers a wealth of material — informative videos, lush images of natural fiber sources and production methods, interviews with producers and more fibre facts than you can shake a spindle at. The website even includes images of 15 natural fibres under the microscope. (I don’t know why they are there — but I found them interesting in a nerdy way.) Mostly, I just enjoyed the photographs of rice fields at sunset; workers knee deep in cotton and angora bunnies and cashmere goats, just being themselves, but I learned a couple of things.
In case you’ve ever wondered:
• ramie is a natural fibre, one of the strongest in fact and its grown mainly in China, Brazil, the Lao PDR and the Philippines.
• Hemp fibres are also used to reinforce molded thermoplastics in the automobile industry; abaca yarn is used in automobile parts by Mercedes-Benz.
• The biggest producer of mohair is South Africa, but Texas is also important, too, with 200,000 head of mohair goats. Just 20% mohair added to a wool blend provides crease resistance.
Why is the UN urging us to choose natural fibres? Because they are:
• a healthy choice. As most people know, natural fibres provide natural ventilation. Coconut fibres used in mattresses have natural resistance to fungus and mites. Hemp fibre has antibacterial properties, and studies show that linen is the most hygienic textile for hospital bed sheets.
• a responsible choice. Natural fibres are vital to the livelihoods and food security of millions of small-scale farmers and processors. They include 10 million people in the cotton sector in West and Central Africa, 4 million small-scale jute farmers in Bangladesh and India, one million silk industry workers in China, and 120 000 alpaca herding families in the Andes. By choosing natural fibres we boost the sector’s contribution to economic growth and help fight hunger and rural poverty.
• a sustainable choice. Natural fibres are a renewable resource. Growing one ton of jute fibre requires less than 10% of the energy used for the production of polypropylene. Natural fibres are carbon neutral. Processing produces residues that can be used in biocomposites for building houses or to generate electricity. At the end of their life cycle, natural fibres are 100% biodegradable.
• a high-tech choice. Natural fibres have good mechanical strength, low weight and low cost, which has made them particularly attractive to the automobile industry. India has developed composite boards made from coconut fibre that are more resistant to rotting than teak. Brazil is making roofing material reinforced with sisal. In Europe, hemp wastes are used in cement, and China used hemp-based construction materials for the 2008 Olympics.
• a fashionable choice. Natural fibres are at the heart of an eco-fashion or “sustainable clothing” movement that seeks to create garments that are sustainable at every stage of their life cycle, from production to disposal.
More Natural Fibre Fun to Come: Wood was intentionally excluded from this year’s promotion. The International Year of Forests will be in 2011.

It’s that time of year again, when almost every family in the area, distills fruit down into Rakija.
I swear that Balkan people prefer to “drink” their fruit rather than eat it 🙂
Many years ago, when I first tasted šljivovica (plum rakija), the burning sensation it created as I swallowed that initial mouthful, didnt provide the most positive reaction to something so cultural and traditional.
Over the following decade and a half, I have definitely grown accustomed to the nuances of drinking the various kinds of Rakija that’s offered.
This year the weather hasn’t been too kind to those “baking the Rakija” on my neighbours property. Apart from the initial day, it’s for the most part, been miserable, cold, wet.
Nevertheless, they have started each day just after 7 in the morning and finished late into the evening, working under “jury rigged” external lighting.
Manual work all the way.
Our fruit harvest wasn’t the best this year, but even so, the “Happy Machine” has produced 240 litres this year.


Lawn care is an important part of keeping a home looking its best. It requires regular upkeep, such as mowing, fertilizing, and weed control. Proper lawn care is essential for ensuring healthy, attractive Landscaping.
Mowing is one of the most important aspects of lawn care. It is best to mow your lawn on a regular basis, no less than once a week, and more often during periods of rapid grass growth. Mowing your lawn not only keeps it looking neat and tidy, but it also helps to encourage thicker, healthier grass growth.
Fertilizing is also an important part of lawn care. Fertilizing helps to ensure that your grass has the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and to prevent weed infestation. It is best to use a slow-release fertilizer, such as a granular one, to help provide a steady supply of nutrients to your grass.
Weed control is another important part of lawn care. Weeds can quickly overtake a lawn and can be difficult to get rid of. The best way to keep weeds from taking over the lawn is to use a pre-emergent herbicide. This type of herbicide will prevent weeds from germinating, stopping them before they become a problem.
Lawn care is an essential part of keeping a home looking its best.Lawn service requires regular upkeep such as mowing, fertilizing, and weed control. Proper lawn care is essential for ensuring a healthy, attractive landscape. With the right tools and knowledge, keeping a lawn looking its best is easy and rewarding.

Healthy Working Lives has shown its support for the Stair Park Community Garden Centre with a grant of £150 to buy new tools. Just two years ago the site was an unloved patch of waste ground but thanks to a dedicated team of hardworking volunteers it’s been transformed into a flourishing, productive garden.
Healthy Working Lives Advisor Richard Smith said: “The Stair Park Community Garden Centre provides practical work experience for school leavers and other adults with learning difficulties. Many of them have no academic qualifications and this project is designed to help build their confidence while they learn new skills.
“I have been helping the group for over a year and it’s great to see the progress they’ve made. The garden is now blooming and so are the people who have been working on it.”


Refreshing early spring Yukishita carrot and Apple cider vinegar dressing
While using ON THE UMAMI’s classic Umami Dashi Bonito and Kombu Kelp dashi pack as the base, we carefully made a paste out of “Yukishita carrots”, which are cultivated in Tsunan, Niigata and can only be harvested during a short period of time in the early spring, and added apple cider vinegar made with fruity Japanese apples.
This is a fresh and refreshing dressing that gently complements the aroma and sweetness of the carrots with apple cider vinegar and yuzu juice.

“Yukishita carrots” are cultivated using a method that is only available in carrot production areas with heavy snowfall.
Carrots that could have been harvested during the autumn of the previous year are intentionally left to survive the winter under over 2 meters of snow and cultivated starting around the end of March while clearing the snow.
The carrots lose their distinct smell when they are allowed to mature while hibernating in the snow, resulting in very sweet carrots with a mild flavor.

Foodies this is your chance if you don’t have a large garden – you can create your own vertical garden inside or outside and fill it with organic, home grown vegetables! Yum! Growing vegetables in a vertical garden is probably one of the most practical usages of a vertical garden and has become increasingly popular especially since Amy Goldman created a wall of lettuce for the Philadelphia International Flower Show which was 9 feet high and 40 feet wide. Her wall included 6 different variety of lettuces with 3,000 leafy heads!
The creator of lettuce vertical vegetable garden was praised because if you want to create an outdoor vegetable garden, this example showed how easy it was to access the vegetables and maintain them. A person doesn’t have to bend to use the garden and was considered perfect for baby boomer retirees who love to garden but have difficultly bending, and having a vertical garden means you give yourself the opportunity to stand up whilst you’re gardening.
The most obvious benefit about a vertical vegetable garden is that you can eat it. Also, you can include different plants to make it look beautiful. There are an array of edible plants that you can include in a vegetable vertical garden including lettuce, mixed herbs, cherry tomatoes, sage, rosemary, celery leaf and you can also add pansy’s which are lovely colorful inclusion on both a wall and in a salad.
You can organize the plants in such a manner so they look good, and you don’t need to add fertilizer as for a vegetable vertical garden you’re not trying to harvest like crazy, and also too much fertilizer for some vegetables ruins the flavor.
Top tips to growing a vertical vegetable garden:
Pick your wall – It is most common for a vegetable garden to have a sunny wall with typically four hours per day as the starting point for a vegetable garden. However, if your wall is shady, make sure you consider what you’re growing because different plant varieties thrive in shade so you are not limited by the sun!
Determine the look you want to achieve when you create your edible wall, there are many different types of apparatus on the market. Try woolly pockets which are known to be one of the best vertical garden solutions and are made of recycled plastic materials and often come with a mounting frame: Felt Pocket Vertical Garden
Select your vegetables and remember the root depth of your vegetables. Consider what’s typically grown in the regional area which you live. Try foods you love and would want to cook with – remember it’s a wall you can eat. Have fun experimenting with different fruits or vegetables like small melons, broccoli, brussel sprouts, mustard seeds.
Irrigate – if you are time poor but love your garden, it’s often wise to include an easy to install drip system which is one of the easiest ways to look after the plants on your living wall. Here’s an irrigator from uzplanters.com
For many people a garden can be a source of nutritious plants and this can be achieved via a vertical garden. Urban Zeal Planters has a fine selection of products which are suitable for creating a vertical vegetable garden.
It’s approaching the end of summer and rather than saying good-bye to your herbs why not go inside and try an indoor vertical herb garden? But, if you live in an apartment and have space restrictions a permanent vertical herb garden might just be the solution for you – where you can have herbs inside all year round. You may also like to get creative and add colour by adding succulents.
When growing any vertical garden indoors or outdoors the biggest consideration is choosing the wall and analysing how much light you will get. The light will impact the herbs you can grow inside.
What should you grow your herbs in?
The best solution when growing herbs inside is to use woolly pockets as they provide the right environment for growing herbs and vegetables. The best kits come with moisture barriers to protect your wall (of course you can use these kits either inside or outdoors). Woolly Wally’s offer a sustainable solution where the pockets are made by 100% recycled bottles: Woolly Pockets
Top Herbs To Grow Inside on Your VerticalGarden
Walls Which Don’t Get Much Light
If your wall doesn’t get much light there are herbs which will have a better chance of survival indoors. One of the easiest herbs to grow indoors is chives. Your best bet is to get a cutting from an already existing chive plant but go for a cutting from the roots upwards. Another herb which thrives in shade is of course mint, where you have options of both mint and spearmint. They are hearty herbs but since they are invasive keep your minty herbs in their own woolly pocket. If you don’t have space to grow both mints then peppermint is probably the better option as you don’t need as much to create a minty effect. Another indoor herb which is easy to grow is parsley which is a wonderful addition to any herb garden. It’s very easy to grow but remember to be patient as parsley grows very slowly. But, the positive note is that parsley doesn’t need much maintenance in terms of cuttings.
Sun Loving Herbs
Greek oregano is a very sun loving herb insisting on at least six to eight hours of sun. Another sun loving herb is thyme which is also greedy for sun also needing six to eight hours of sunlight but it might even want more! If you have space in your woolly pockets you might even be able to grow lemon thyme which is a much rarer herb, but has a lovely citrus flavour. Vietnamese coriander (cilantro) is a very reliable herb but indoors the Vietnamese version is easier to grow. Rosemary is a lovely creeping plant perfect for any vertical garden indoor or out. Tuscan Blue or Blue Spire are upright varieties which are perfect for a living wall.
One of the most delicious flavoursome is herbs basil but it is also one of the most difficult to grow indoors especially in Winter months. However, if you want to give it a go, the best basil varieties include Spicy Globe or African Globe.


To be able to provide our customers with the most versatile selection of special natural honeys, we have developed our beekeeping processes further than the traditional hobby beekeeping. Our beekeepers possess excellent knowledge and skills in the field because of our long history in beekeeping. We have received several prices and recognition to acknowledge our expertise.
It is commonly believed, that the consistency of the honey and how quickly is crystallizes is dependent on the handling and the quality of the honey. Actually it is completely subject to the origins of the nectar and the plants, which the bees have visited to collect it. Even a naturally runny honey will start crystallizing, if the storing temperature is under 20 degrees Celsius.
On the other hand, especially many honeys produced outside Europe in unhygienic production conditions are pasteurized, which means that they are heated to a high temperature. It creates a honey that stays runny abnormally long. Pasteurization also destroys most of the valuable nutrients in the honey (minerals, enzymes and antioxidants). The beneficial qualities of the honey are preserved in room temperature or cooler climate. But no worries, you can still put honey in your warm evening tea, as it will not lose the valuable enzymes in a few minutes.
The mother nature has created bees to be honey collectors and they produce the honey from the beginning all the way to the end. The process includes filtering, packing it up to a honeycomb and sealing it with beeswax. When the wax lid of the honeycomb is sealed, the honey is ready and packed airtight to be used as nutrition. The beekeeper removes the honeycombs from the beehive in the end of the harvesting season for spinning. Before the spinning the beeswax seal is removed in order to expose the honey. During the spinning, the centrifugal force removes the honey from the honeycombs. When the process is ready, the frames are taken back to the beehives to be used again.
During the spinning process pieces of beeswax are mixed with honey and therefore the honey must be filtered. Honey will stay in a container for about a week, and during that time the small wax pieces will rise and float in the surface. After filtering process the honey is ready to be packed in containers. After a week, some of the honey will be taken to a cold room and cooled down to +5 degrees Celsius, which enhances the crystallization. The crystallization process happening in the cold room creates a honey with very small crystals, which will be soft and buttery in consistency. Naturally runny honey types, like Arctic Honey and Blueberry Honey, are packed in jars in their liquid form. We always make sure that no high temperatures are used in processing honey in order to preserve all the valuable nutrients. We never heat up our honey to a damageable temperature and we use very careful warming only when it is necessary in order to be able to pack the honey in jars. There are regulations regarding the quality and processing of the honey.
We have developed a cold kneading procedure, that prevents the crystallized honey from getting solid. Cold kneaded honey stays softer and is easier to use. Nothing is added to the honey and it keeps all the natural good qualities in the process. Honey is always 100% natural product.
Especially the runny honey types should be stored in the room temperature on the kitchen table or a shelf. Good storing temperature is a bit over 20 degrees Celsius. Crystallized honey can be stored in a cooler environment and protected from the sunlight. This way the honey keeps its beautiful light and even colour and does not layer up.
Well stored honey keeps its best qualities for at least two years, but usually much longer. Honey products must be labelled with a best before -date even when honey stays completely edible much longer. It does not matter for the shelf life if the honey jar has been opened, as soon as it is not exposed to moisture. Changes in the consistency or colour do not necessary mean, that the honey has gone bad. The best way to analyse the honey is to taste and smell it.
You can easily make a crystallized honey runny again by warming it up carefully in a waterbed or some other way. You can freeze honey as well. So, you can get runny honey in the autumn, freeze it and after melting it will be runny again.
The beekeeper has work to do even in the wintertime. The production equipment will be maintained right after the spinning and winter feeding of the bees. The wild structures and beeswax will be removed from the hive and they are sanitized and washed. The hives are inspected for damage and organized for the next season. The bees are happy to use any honey left in the honeycombs as their nutrition. Beeswax will be collected from the broken honeycombs. It is taken to be melted and pressed into new honeycomb forms.
In the winter beekeeper has time to build new beehive boxes and frames. The rims of the frames are strengthened with supportive strings and equipped with the honeycomb forms pressed from the beeswax. This process saves some work from the bees in the summertime.

Bio-Process Group has developed a proprietary ‘Low Temperature Steep Delignification’ (LTSD) technology that reduces capital and operating costs associated with pulp production and improves yield in non-wood pulping. The process was originally designed and developed as a pretreatment for biomass in the production of cellulosic ethanol over ten years ago. Upon realizing that the process created a very high quality fiber the process has been further developed and optimized over the past five years for making ag-pulp. Our design is zero effluent, low water and energy use, and mostly done under 100 degrees C(atmospheric pressures). Testing the LTSD process on a wide variety of biomass sources has proven the technology to be quite robust. Below are some of the most promising Ag-residues we have focused on.
Rice hulls are a low value by-product produced by rice millers on a daily basis. The Bio-Process Group has developed a process to recover pulp, silicates, and bio-char from these rice hulls. There are about 10 million tons of rice grown in the US, which is associcated with about 2 million tons of rice hulls, with over 50% produced in Arkansas. The Bio-Process group is planning on building 3 rice hull bio-refineries in AR and has been producing examples of pulp and silicates for prospective end users.
Bio-Process Group Rice hull Pulp
Corn stover can be recovered from fields after corn harvest. It has been determined that about 50% can be taken from the fields in a sustainable manner, with 50% left for soil fertility. There are two groups producing cellulosic ethanol from corn stalks currently, and pulp would be a higher value use. The Bio-Process Group has made several pilot scale trials of pulp from corn stalks and had that pulp evaluated as being 'very marketable' by a major pulp marketing company.

We live on the Isle of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Grandma asked us if we would like to help her to remake the pebble garden outside her back door and we said yes we would. It took us about four weeks to do it.
It was very overgrown with earth and grass and weeds. The pebbles were completely covered over. You couldn’t see them. It was a real mess as you can see in the first photo.
We used a knife, a trowel, a small fork and a Japanese knife. We had two wheelbarrows for the big stones and two big bowls for the pebbles, and four buckets for the grass and mud, which had to be emptied lots of times.
It was really hard work and we worked really hard, pulling up all the earth and the grass and the weeds and all the stones and pebbles. We could only work on it a bit at a time because it was so tiring. The second photo gives an idea of how many stones we dug up.
We put a membrane down to cover the earth so that the weeds won’t grow through, and then we put the big stones back. The third photo shows how it looked when we were done – with the big and little pebbles, and we added a waterfall of white quartz pebbles.
We are very pleased that we achieved it and we had a very nice time doing it.

Serrated Tussock is a noxious weed that is a constant threat to both environmental reserves like Mulla Mulla Grassland as well as grazing & farming land. City of Melton, Western Water & local environment groups devote considerable resources to eradicating this weed.
Mulla Mulla Grassland is the jewel in the crown of grassland reserves in the Western Region, having been restored by City of Melton over many years. It is the best local example of what our vast native grasslands must have once looked like.
Unfortunately seed from uncontrolled Serrated Tussock blows from surrounding properties. Serrated Tussock blown into Mulla Mulla Grassland from other properties will be in the reserve for a considerable amount of time and will cost Melton council a substantial amount of money to control

The accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere carries with it severe consequences, and cities are responsible for 70% of CO2 emissions. With this initiative, we address how innovative green architecture can contribute to removing CO2 from the urban area by implementing elements that incorporate microalgae cultivation into architecture.
The presented project incorporates two photobioreactor installations filled with water, where microalgae circulate through methacrylate tubes. Used as two architectural elements: a façade that can fix 720 kg of CO2 per year from the atmosphere and produce 400 kg of biomass that can be used as fertilizer in irrigation water; and three artificial trees that can fix 50 kg of CO2 and produce 28 kg of biomass.
To test its efficiency, a Life Cycle Inventory was conducted and compared to the amount of CO2 fixed during its lifetime. It was concluded that the system would need 11.11 years to fix the CO2 produced and would have a negative CO2 impact of 27 tons of CO2 during the useful life of its materials. This project is a starting point towards developing a disruptive and experimental alternative with great potential, being the first in Spain and one of the first in the world.

When it comes to selecting native plants for your garden, it’s easy to be seduced by varieties with colorful and showy flowers. But don’t forget grasses.
These hardy and often overlooked species add texture to your garden and can help local wildlife to thrive.
Here are three kinds of native grasses to consider so your Certified Wildlife Habitat can be a sanctuary for you as well as wildlife.
Deer and rabbit resistant, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) produces clumps of blue-green foliage reaching a height of four to six feet with wispy seed heads in the summer. It grows well in most soil types and handles droughts like a champ. Bobwhite quail, a species whose numbers have been in decline in recent decades, are especially fond of switchgrass.
Named for its silvery-blue blades, little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) is a warm-season grass of the North American prairies that grows from one to three feet tall. Able to tolerate heat and dry conditions thanks to its extensive roots, this species is sometimes used to control erosion on roadside banks. But as many have discovered, birds and small mammals flock to this beautiful grass, making it a perfect addition to a wildlife-friendly yard.
Pink Muhly Grass
So you want a grass that sports a bit of color? Growing in a mound that gets anywhere from one to four feet tall, pink muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) produces clusters of tiny pink flowers in the summer. As with the other species mentioned here, American goldfinches and sparrows will take advantage of the seeds when winter comes.

In the United States, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an easy way to get local and seasonal food, ultra-fresh, right from a farmer, delivered to your doorstep. While we did not participate in a CSA in United States, we thought it might be a nice way to get veggies and fruits here, and we were happy to find one here in Paraguay.
On Mondays, the Asociación de Productores Orgánicos (Association of Organic Producers) sends out an email listing which fruits and veggies are available for the week. By Tuesday afternoon, customers must email back the items and quantities they want.
This morning our first shipment arrived. Here’s what we got:
One head of garlic
One bunch of watercress
One head of broccoli
Two bunches of arugula
One kilo of tomatoes
One dozen bananas
