LTPL Grows is an initiative that began with our Seed Sharing Library in 2013 and was followed by our Demonstration Garden in 2014. We have programs all year round that include all aspects of gardening, preserving, foraging, herbs, permaculture, beekeeping and indoor growing. We house an excellent collection of books and DVDs about gardening, cooking, and living sustainably. If you are a gardener, or want to become one, please visit the Lyon Township Public Library. Whether you have acres of land or a balcony, we are here to help you get growing!
The LTPL Demonstration Garden began as a means to bring to life some of the techniques learned through various programs being offered at the library. It is an organic garden, which means we use no chemicals for pest or weed control. All crops planted in the garden are open-pollinated, which means the seed can be saved from year to year. Please click on the Seed Sharing Library for more information about sharing open-pollinated seeds.
In 2017 we are proud to be working with an organization called Gardens Across America to grow some rare and endangered crops in our LTPL Demonstration Garden. It is the mission of Gardens Across America to identify and “grow-out” endangered species of food crops. The purpose is threefold: to increase the amount of available seed of the plant, to identify where each crop grows best, and to raise awareness of the plight of disappearing diversity in our food system.
Ben Cohen, our regional coordinator for Gardens Across America, delivered the seeds when he presented a program on saving seeds at the Lyon Township Public Library in April 2017.
The varieties we will be growing in the LTPL Demonstration Garden are:
Bean: ‘Barba di Frate’ – “Monk’s Beard” Landrace from hills and mountains of Northeast Italy
Bean: Ijevan Purple King” originally for Ijevan, Armenia
Squash: ‘Anasazi,’ (AKA “Hopi Groie”) a legendary squash said to be discovered in a cave in a sealed clay pot by Owosso, MI resident George Hoddy during an vacation in Arizona in the 1960s. This is a landrace variety of native squash with some variation from one plant to the next.
Since there was a bit of room left on the trellis, we planted a few ‘Potawatomi’ Lima Beans. Ben also supplied us with seed for ‘Isleta Pueblo’ Blue Corn, a very tall corn grown for centuries by Native Americans for corn meal and flour. We only have room in our garden for a 4’ X 4’ patch of corn, but we are excited to see it grow.
With the addition of the corn to the bean and squash, we have all of the “Three Sisters” that have sustained native people since ancient Mesopotamia. In the traditional planting, the corn is planted first, then when it is several inches tall the beans are planted near the stalks so they can climb as the corn grows. The beans fix nitrogen in the soil which benefits the corn. The squash is planted nearby to provide living mulch and help protect the corn and beans from predators such as raccoons. In our 2017 Demonstration Garden we opted to grow the rare beans on the trellis instead of the corn to give them the best shot at survival.
Last of all we planted two heirloom tomato plants near the gate: ‘Amish Paste’ and ‘Igleheart’s Yellow Cherry’. Both are productive varieties and we will see how they hold up to the squash vines!
In anticipation of the arrival of the seeds from Gardens Across America, South Lyon Pack 336, Den 4 Wolves from Kent Lake Elementary School built a sturdy trellis structure as a service project. We would like to thank Lowes, Home Depot, and Tractor Supply Company for donating materials for the trellis. Scouts from South Lyon Pack 336 installed a three-section compost bin in 2016.
Become a volunteer at the LTPL Demonstration Garden! We always need help with weeding and watering. Even once or twice over the course of the summer would be a big help!
Our Demonstration Garden Wish List:
- Bags of natural hardwood mulch for the paths. No dyed mulch near food crops, please!
- Bagged material: compost, peat, potting soil
- Mulch and compost: Bales of straw (spoiled straw OK), shredded leaves, grass clippings from untreated lawns
- Small, lockable shed for our wheelbarrow and garden tools. Storing those things in the very small furnace room of the library has been very difficult.
Contact Pam at firstname.lastname@example.org if you are interested in helping with the LTPL Demonstration Garden.
About the LTPL Demonstration Garden
Matthew Deeds designed and built our demonstration garden as his Eagle Scout project in 2014. We used a technique called sheet composting, or “lasagna gardening” to kill the sod and prepare the area for growing. We put layers of newspapers, leaves, and straw and allowed them to break down over the fall and winter. The next spring, Tuthill Farms donated compost to jump-start the garden, and we also had some bales of straw donated by residents for mulching. The 2015 garden was a jungle, with record-breaking size tomato plants. The next year we grew the ingredients for making salsa, and Grand River feed donated several bales of straw for mulch.
The LTPL Seed Sharing Library is a free program that lends seeds and encourages borrowers to return some seeds from their harvests to make the seed library self-sustaining. All seeds borrowed and shared at LTPL are open-pollinated seeds, and many of them are considered heirloom varieties since they have been grown for generations. We hope to nurture a culture of community, sharing, and abundance by providing a place where people can connect to the traditions of sustainability and homegrown, healthy food. Beginning and experienced gardeners alike will benefit from this new forum for exchanging seeds and information.
We use the former card catalog to organize and store the seeds. Seeds will be labeled as Easy, Intermediate, or Advanced so people can choose according to their seed-saving expertise. LTPL will support the Seed Sharing Library by providing information though flyers, books, and DVDs. We will offer programs pertaining to gardening, seed-saving, and food preservation throughout the year. Our website will provide documentation and links to online resources. For statistical purposes, registration is required to use the Seed Sharing Library and patrons must write down what they take and bring in. The program is run on the honor system and if for some reason you are unable to return seeds to the library at the end of the season you will not be penalized.
To borrow seeds from the Seed Sharing Library we ask that you fill out a registration form the first time you use it. From that point on, when you take seeds you simply write down your name, date, and what seeds you are taking on the clipboard. Take only as many as you can use in one season, and please limit yourself to one packet of each variety. Please make every effort to follow the correct seed saving instructions to assure the seeds you bring back to share at the end of the season will grow true to type.
To share seeds, first remove the seeds from their pods and clean according to the directions in the link “Harvesting & Storing Seeds”. Bring your clean, dry seeds to the library in an envelope, bag, or jar. Please use recycled containers if possible. Fill out a seed sharing form (available at the library and on the website) for each variety of seed you are sharing and tape or staple it to the container. Place your container and form in the seed drop-off box. The seeds will be packaged, labeled, and filed in the Seed Sharing Library by a staff member or volunteer.

De Sangosse invests in Kan Biosys to conquer the agricultural biosolutions market in India – Le Journal des Entreprises
THE Lot-et-Garonne group De Sangosse (1,150 employees, €300m turnover), based in Pont-du-Casse and specializing in biofertilizers, biostimulants and biocontrol solutions for agriculture, has just announced its entry into the capital of the Indian company Kan Biosys India Private Limited, specialist in micro-organisms and “having an industrial tool dedicated to production by fermentation”. Kan Biosys is notably the first Indian company “with an award-winning technology for soil carbon enhancement, an alternative to stubble burning for rice and sugar cane crops”. The common objective is to “create a new dynamic in the agricultural ecosystem in India, and thus quickly conquer market share”, underlines a press release. “The Indian market represents 140 million hectares of arable land. With Kan Biosys, we have a new development platform for our innovations. The two companies will take advantage of their complementarities to develop new products”, adds Nicolas Fillon, managing director of De Sangosse.


About 50,000 decares of tobacco from all sorts are expected to be planted by mid-June, when it will be completed the campaign. This was announced by the Chairman of the National Tobacco Growers Association in Bulgaria Tsvetan Filev.10% of the seedlings are already in the field, reported BTA.
Filev said that at the end of April had been signed an agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture for an additional 11.5 million levs national premiums for tobacco from last year’s harvest.
A scheme has also been agreed for national additional payments for the campaign this year and next year. Don’t miss this post about another agricultural project of Bulgaria.


Class “A” Compost from the Green Zone Resource Park!
At the end of November, staff started the Resource Park’s very first unit of compost with organic waste collected from SBIA members enrolled in our pilot commercial waste composting program. And after 56 days of feeding, aerating, monitoring moisture levels and temperature, and curing, we produced a batch of beautiful compost!
Soil testing confirmed it met the standards set by the BC Ministry of Environment’s Organic Matter Recycling Regulation (OMRR) – and that the finished product is Class “A” compost suitable for unrestricted use in food production and general horticulture.
In January, the SBIA hired Charlotte Fesnoux as the Resource Park’s Site Coordinator, and she’s continuing and refining our composting process. The next big step involves replacing the small garden chipper we’re currently using to grind organic matter with a larger system: a Bokashicycle High Throughput Food Waste Pulverizer. It’ll be much more efficient (and less messy!) than the poor chipper, which just isn’t designed to process things like soggy bread, egg cartons, and chicken bones.


So I’m going to try worm composting. However, I’m not willing to just buy some worms, throw them in a bin and throw waste in there as it becomes available. I’ve been doing some research and talking to some people that do worm composting already. But I know some of you, dear readers, probably also do composting or at best worm composting.
Any tips, resources, references that I should use. I’m going to be building my compost center this coming weekend. I have some time to do the research first.

Take comfort in knowing where your food is coming from, who is handling it, and that it will be available.
Internationally, fruits and vegetables are not under the same safety guidelines and regulations as we have in the United States, and with over 50% of store produce coming from across our borders, it can be hard to know what all has come in contact with your foods.
When fear rises in a community, often bare grocery shelves are one of the first symptoms. With Harvest Boxes you have your own personal crop in the ground and a local farmer working on your behalf. No longer worry if your family will have the produce you need from week to week.
Our family has over 160 years of farming experience, and we bring that expertise and high standard of quality to everything we grow. You can rest assured that you will receive only the highest quality of fruits and vegetables in your Harvest Box.
WHY RECEIVE HARVEST BOXES?
Call Jeter Mountain Farm home by registering to receive weekly Harvest Boxes and take the stress out of getting quality fresh produce onto your table. By signing up to receive Jeter Mountain Harvest Boxes, we plant and maintain a crop specifically for you and our in-house delivery team will bring your weekly Harvest Box straight to your door! Not only that, you'll receive periodic video updates from your farmers about how your crop is doing and what seasonal varieties you can look forward to receiving from month to month.

HOW IT WORKS
Receiving weekly Jeter Mountain Harvest Boxes ensures that your
family will have fresh, local foods delivered to you each week.
Harvest Boxes are only available to residents of Henderson County and Brevard due to delivery routes.
When you register for our Harvest Box we plant and maintain a crop specifically for you. A selection of 7 or 8 different vegetables, fruits, squashes and herbs will be delivered in your box depending on what is in season out of the 20+ varieties being harvested on your behalf. We care for, grow, and harvest your crop as part of our own. For this reason, you must sign up for the entire 18 week crop cycle, and Harvest Boxes cannot be purchased individually. After you register, we deliver one bushel box full of seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs and squashes right to your door weekly!
A selection of produce you may find in your box can be viewed "here." The produce in each box will change throughout the season according to what is harvested each month.
To reserve your portion of the crop, fill out the reservation form below. Jeter Mountain Farm will only accept the first 150 reservations that are made.
Once you have reserved your portion of the crop, you will have the option of paying for your weekly boxes in full ($1,115) or in four interest free payments ($295 each). By paying in full, you will receive one free box. You will not have to pay at the time of making your reservation. Upon filling out the form, you will receive instructions for the next steps.
All produce in your box is grown exclusively at Jeter Mountain Farm. If for some reason weather, or an act of God, disrupts some of the growing schedule, a relevant local alternative may be used if necessary.

A house with a wealth of tradition!
"Hirsch" in Grimmelfingen was mentioned in a document for the first time in the year 1794 in relation to the Baptism of the landlord's son, Johann Balthas Liebhardt. He wasn't only a restaurant owner as his forefathers used to be but also a beer brewer and farmer. Brewing rights remained in the hands of the Liebhardt family until World War I. Due to famine, the grain was needed for food and therefore the Liebhardt gave up brewing beer. On the other hand, farming activities were kept up until just a few years ago. And of course, the menu boasted "own production" at that time.
It is with this tradition in mind that we pay special attention to the quality of our food and drink with seasonal character which in turn means only the freshest of ingredients the season has to offer. Allow us to spoil you in our friendly dining rooms with a large culinary offering.
One of the other proud traditions we continue is the production of schnapps based on old family recipes. It may be a long process but definitely one which is worth it. Be the judge for yourself and try our "Obstler", "Williams Christ" or the "Quittenbrand"... and of course only organic fruit is used in the distilling process.

Project Learning Tree
Project Learning Tree is an award-winning environmental education program designed for teachers and other educators, parents, and community leaders working with youth from preschool through grade twelve. The goal is to teach critical thinking, problem-solving techniques and leadership to help solve future environmental problems.
All of our classes throughout the entire school utilize the Project Learning Tree curriculum. These exciting environmental lesson are experienced by student from age 15 months through 8th grade. SPLS has been a Project Learning Tree school since 2005.
St. Paul Lutheran School is the first in Florida to become a Project Learning Tree Green School. The students lead in caring for the environment by recycling, conserving water and conserving electricity. The students take measurements of how much energy and water we are using and how much we are recycling to reduce our carbon footprint. The students utilize the Terracycle program to recycle product packaging and earn money for the school. The money is put back into the environment through the purchase of plants and gardening materials.
The five areas of study for Project Learning Tree are water conservation, energy conservation, school yard habitats, air quality and recycling.
Ms. Deb Wagner, an SPLS fourth grade teacher, is a nationally recognized Project Learning Tree teacher and leads workshops and training sessions for other teachers across the nation. She facilitates the Project Learning Tree curriculum both in her classroom and on campus. The students are the true leaders in this curriculum through peer education. The older students work with the younger grades in leading lessons on the environment.
St. Paul Lutheran School was recognized by the United States Department of Education as a Green Ribbon School. This designation means our school has pursued environmental education, recycling and conservation efforts, physical activity, and good nutrition in our school to a degree that recognition is warranted.
We are so proud of our teachers and students who relish the opportunity to be part of a green campus.
Each year St. Paul Lutheran School celebrates God’s creation through Creation Week. At this time visitors come to the campus to educate students about the local environment. We have partnered with the Master Gardeners, SWIFTMUD, and Lakeland Electric, local farmers and beekeepers to name a few. This is an excellent opportunity for students to learn about their local environment and how they can best improve upon their community.
We have a pollinating garden which is designed to pollinate our vegetables and flowers. This garden helps to illustrate how the pollination process works and support the local school gardens.
Ag(riculture) in the Classroom
Agriculture in the classroom includes the following:
- St. Paul Lutheran School has above ground hydroponics, raised beds and various vegetable and flower gardens for all students to participate in cultivating.
- The butterfly gardens help maintain and support approximately twelve different species of butterfly.
- The vegetable gardens are for nutrition studies, learning about plants and contributing to the world’s food source.
- Classroom gardens include literature gardens which bring books to life. For example, Blueberries for Sal is a blueberry garden. Pizza Party is a garden featuring herbs and tomatoes and vegetables that are used in pizza making.


Tenuta Marcianella lies in the province of Siena, in Montepulciano and Chiusi, an area well suited to producing wines of high quality since the Etruscan period, VII century BCE.
The various vineyards form part of the denominations of Nobile di Montepulciano and Chianti Colli Senesi.
At Tenuta Marcianella the olive groves contain a particular tree: the “minuto”, whose tiny olives have a low yield of fragrant, high-quality olive oil.
The soils of Marcianella tell a story millions of years old. From the Cretaceous (80 million years ago) to the Pliocene Epoch (3 million), the terrains were formed by deposits of sand, clay and silt on the bottom of the sea. These soils express their unique composition through wines acting as spokespersons and custodians of history and origins.

These seeds can be found in most garden centers or online retailers specializing in organic gardening. Flowers can bring color, fragrance, and beauty to any garden, and many of them also attract beneficial insects and pollinators. When selecting flower seeds, it’s important to consider the growing conditions in your area, such as climate, soil type, and sunlight exposure, as well as the specific requirements of each flower species. With a little care, you can grow a wide variety of beautiful and sustainable organic flowers in your own garden.

Anyone who knows about Washington state wine should know about Red Willow Vineyard. It’s where wine pioneer Mike Sauer planted his first vineyard in 1971. It’s where Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted in 1973 are still in production. It’s where the first production of Syrah grapes in the state took place in 1988. It’s where the superb grapes are carefully tended and made into excellent wines at Columbia Winery and many others. And it’s where, we discovered last weekend, one of the nicest and most knowledgeable wine families in Washington state live.
Mike Sauer and his son Jonathan humbly refer to themselves as farmers. And indeed they are farmers, and mighty fine ones. But they are also both artisans of grape growing. And they have a joyous spirituality about their work that is evidenced in this quote by Mike on the Red Willow Web site:
“In farming there is no substitute for the soil, water, and hard work. Inherently, the nature of farming brings a spiritual dimension to our efforts. There is a connection of past, present, and future generations.
For us wine brings the soil, the site, the season, and the efforts of many people together into a single vintage. Later that vintage becomes a cherished memory of that year.”
We had the fortune and the honor to meet Mike, his wife Karen and Jonathan Sauer and to visit Red Willow Vineyard over the weekend with Columbia Winery’s Cellar Club. I will be writing several posts over the next few weeks about the experience, the grapes, the terroir and the incredible story of the Sauer family and Red Willow Vineyard.

SNIP: The earth beneath our feet isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind when people think about the impacts of climate change. However, a study by a UC Riverside-led team of researchers predicts a climate-induced reduction in large soil pores, which may intensify the water cycle and contribute to more flash flooding and soil erosion by the end of the 21st century.
In a paper published Sept. 5 in Nature, the scientists studied the impact of climate change on macroporosity—the amount of large pores in the soil. Macropores, which are greater than 0.08 mm in diameter, allow water to be absorbed easily into the surrounding soil, where it can be used by plants, transport nutrients, and eventually make its way back into underground aquifers.
Using a large database of soils collected over 50 years from across the continental U.S. combined with atmospheric data from a network of weather stations, the researchers examined changes in macroporosity across a rainfall, temperature, and humidity gradient. They found macropores were more likely to develop in drier climates than humid climates, and that climate-related changes in macroporosity occur over shorter timescales than previously thought.
The researchers then used climate projections for the end of the 21st Century to predict that increasing humidity by 2080-2100 will reduce soil macroporosity in most regions of the U.S.
The consequences could be less infiltration of water into the ground, more surface runoff and erosion, and more flash flooding.


Plymouth Farmers' Market
In its 14th year, the Plymouth Farmers’ Market is a year-round, producer-only market bringing together the very best local farmers, food makers, artisans and musicians. Our twice monthly winter market is held indoors. Our weekly outdoor season is underway! Support local farmers, shop at your local farmers’ market. Busy, bustling and lots of fun! The Plymouth Farmers' Market is a destination market that many south shore (and beyond) folks are eager to get to for a wide selection of locally grown fruit, vegetables, herbs, flowers, fresh eggs, grass fed meats, seafoods, jams, sauces, local sea foods, rustic breads, pies, take home foods, pottery, and more.


Résumé : This study addresses the potential usage of various herbaceous plants extract including betel leave extract (BLE), green tea (GTE), turmeric (TE), belalai gajah (BGE), garlic extracts (GE), and manjakani extracts (ME) as future biocides of SRB that are natural and nontoxic. Study revealed that retardation of growth was obtained after addition of 5mL of natural biocides to 100 mL of the culture. Reduced biomass growth was observed with most of the tested biocides, dictated by lower biomass contents accepts for ginger and garlic. The planktonic growth was successively suppressed with addition of GTE, TE, and BGE, where the biomass production was decreased by more than 80.0% compared to the control experiments. GRE increased the growth of planktonic bacteria while the GE induced the formation of biofilms, showed by increase in biomass productions with over 23.4% and 77.46% enhancements, respectively. These results suggest that turmeric, green tea, and belalai gajah plants extracts are highly potential biocidal agents for mitigating SRB, thus controlling the effect of MIC on metal surfaces. However, the chemical stability, potential toxicity, and consistent performance of the extracts need further investigation for optimization of its use on a real field scale.


Nuffield Australia is the premier educational body for Australian farmers. And it has affiliated organisations across the globe. These provide generous and extensive annual travel scholarships to the best and brightest of the world’s emerging farmers. Each year, selected scholars, early in their scholarship, attend an intensive one week gathering where they are exposed to the best farming practices in the host country. In 2014, Australia hosted the International Contemporary Scholars Conference and welcomed 65 of the world’s best farmers. To maximise the quality of their mutual learning, the Conference began by introducing participants to the tools and techniques of ‘Co-operative Conversations’. These got the Conference off to a very successful flying start.
In 2014, Nuffield Australia conducted an extensive strategic planning exercise. ‘Co-operative Conversations’ were employed in stakeholder engagement workshops and in the Board’s final workshop that pulled all of the data together.
Twelve months on, the following was received from Nuffield Australia’s CEO, Jim Geltch.
You would be very happy to know your modus operandi of ‘Co-operative Conversations’ is taking hold around the world. It has become the norm for our national conference, the International Contemporary Scholars Conference and other ad hoc forums we hold around the country. I believe it has been transformational in the way we engage with our stakeholders.

Hiring someone to do your landscaping entails more than just finding someone who will cut the grass every now and then, or someone who will trim the hedges. Landscaping involves an intricate work plan of keeping the lawn healthy by treating it with proper chemicals to get rid of pests, or kill weeds. It involves every detail of the landscape, from the shrubbery to the flower beds to the grass itself. There is a landscape maintenance service who provides Weed Control for your landscape. The landscape service wants to tell you what weeds do to your lawn and landscape.
Weeds are looking for places on your lawn to plant themselves and become a bother. In fact, there are some weeds that plant themselves so firmly on your lawn, they come back every year to grow in the same location, leaving your lawn an unsightly mess. They are just like those relatives you hate to see come visit every year. Then you have the perennial weeds, or those that come back from their roots every year. However weeds show up in your yard, you must be proactive if you wish to rid yourself of them and keep them from being a nuisance to your property.
One of the worst things people can do is to have their lawns mowed short. A good landscape technician or lawn maintenance will know it is best to mow high (around 3 inches high or more) in order to get the healthiest output from your grass. This helps to keep the weeds out and makes your grass thicker and more in control of the lawn.
Spokane ProCare has been maintaining lawns and landscape in Spokane, Washington for over 27 years. They have many solutions for your trees, shrubbery, lawn to help maintain and beautify your landscape. Other services they provide are pest control, such as bees, roaches and spiders, sprinkler systems and lawn aeration, and even snow and ice maintenance. Whether you need an occasional technician to mow your lawn, or professional lawn maintenance services, they provide those services. For Weed Control or other lawn care services, call upon Spokane ProCare. Visit our Google profile to Know More.


There are multiple care-related reasons your snake plant’s leaves turn yellow, but the good news is most of them are fixable. Yellow leaves are a sign of stress and typically indicate that the plant is unable to absorb enough nutrients due to overwatering or a lack of proper drainage.
Succulents like why is my snake plant yellow absorb water through their leaves rather than the roots, so overwatering leads to a buildup of moisture within the plant and wilting. This often happens when the houseplant is in a container with compact soil that doesn’t provide good drainage, or when the plant’s root ball is too large for the pot it lives in. To avoid overwatering, choose a plastic container that’s at least 1/3 larger than the snake plant’s root ball, and fill it with fast-draining potting mix such as Miracle-Gro Cactus, Palm & Citrus Mix. Choose a planting material such as terra cotta that allows the soil to wick away excess moisture, or add perlite and/or sand to the potting mix for better drainage.
Miracle-Gro Potting Soil: Unleashing the Power of Nutrient-Rich Growing Medium for Your Plants
Another common reason for snake plant leaves turning yellow is a lack of essential nutrients in the soil. The nutrient imbalance typically results in a condition known as chlorosis, which causes the leaves to lose their green pigmentation.
In some cases, snake plants will develop yellow leaves from being exposed to scorching sun rays, particularly in the summer. To avoid this, be sure to keep your plant in a bright, indirect location.

Agriculture in ancient Egypt was the most important aspect of the life of ancient Egyptians. Now, we are going to talk about the techniques of farming and tools that were used in agriculture.
The agricultural lands were irrigated by the water of the Nile River and its canals. Moreover; some agricultural lands were watered by the rains, besides that the ancient Egyptians used a basin irrigation strategy to irrigate the lands which located on the same level of the Nile River.
The ancient Egyptians used different tools to irrigate the agricultural lands such as counterpoise lift “Al- shadoof” and the water wheels.
Now we are going to focus on special irrigation tools which the Pharaohs used to irrigate their agricultural lands in ancient Egyptian agriculture.
- The first tool was Al-shadoof:
This special tool has been invented by the ancient Egyptians to irrigate their agricultural lands which located above the high level of the Nile River, highways, and railway, also the small agricultural lands which the modern machines find a difficult to irrigate them.
- The second tool was The tractor:
They used the Tractor in the ancient Egypt, as well as, there were some deceptions on the walls of Maroka’s tomb which confirmed that they were planting the lettuce and water it by the tractor.
- The third tool was Al-Tanbour:
Archimedes 287-212 B.C “a Roman archaeologist” has invented another tool to help the ancient Egyptians to irrigate their farm lands.
The ancient Egyptian used this tool to water the highlands which located above the level of the Nile River in the Ptolemaic era, but the archaeologists did not find any deceptions on the walls of the tombs, Moreover; the Egyptian peasants are still using this tool.
- The fourth tool was The water wheel:
The archaeologists did not find any depiction of the water wheel on the walls of the tombs, but Darsi confirmed that he has found out a water wheel during he was cleaning a hole in “Al- Deir El-Bahari”, Tebes, he has found the oldest Egyptian water wheel.
In 1931 A.C, Samy Gabra has found out this water wheel during the Excavations of Tuna El-Gebel which dates back to the roman era. This water wheel is still there in Tuna El-Gebel.
They used the water wheel in the last period of the Pharaonic era and the early period of the Roman and Greek era. The used these tools in the ancient Egyptian agriculture.
The ancient Egyptians had used the tools which made of stones, before the appearing of the metals, so they had made their tools from metals instead of the stones.
They used these tools (the Axe, the plough, Hatech, Al-Mazarah and the sickle) to restore and cultivate the agricultural lands.
We are going to show you the tools which the ancient Egyptian peasants used to cultivate the farmlands beside its advantages and disadvantages.
- The first tool was The Ax:
This tool considered as the oldest farming tools which have invented by the ancient Egyptians.
The Egyptians were using this tool in a prehistoric era, the Egyptians are still using this tool instead of the hand until now to scarify the lands, but using this tool made this mission so difficult.
- The second tool was The Plough:
The ancient Egyptians were calling this tool “ska”, and finally, they released if the stick of the ax became longer, they would be able to put it between the horns of the oxen.
- The third tool was The Sickle:
The ancient Egyptian has invented another tool “the Sickle” they took the idea of this tool during seeing the oxen was eating the grass. This tool consisted of the wooden piece and sharp, thin and zigzag blades.
- The fourth tool was Al-Mazarah:
This tool consisted of the wooden piece like a palm of the hand, which help them to collect the crops and separated the grains from the crops.
- The fifth tool was The Hatchet:
They used it in the Palaeolithic era “the old stone age” to clean the land from harmful grasses, at the beginning. This tool was made from stones, then, they made it from copper in the ancient Egypt.
- The sixth tool was The Knife:
The knife was made of stone and its stick was made of wood and they find different types of the knives which backward to the fifth dynasty.
The ancient Egyptian did not use this tool to plant the seeds but they used the animal, moreover; they used this tool besides other tools such as (ropes, wooden scales and to separate the grains from crops) in the Roman and Greek era.
The origin of the agriculture in ancient Egypt:
The ancient Egypt agriculture has been discovered by the ancient Egyptians in the Neolithic era” the new stone age”. Before discovering the farming, the ancient Egyptian had lived on hunting, fishing, and harvests the wild food.
The discovering of farming was a great one in the history of the human beings, Moreover; the human’s life has completely changed, the Homo sapiens became more Creativity, after they had been controlled by nature.
- The ancient Egyptian agricultural methods:
- Preparing the agricultural lands for cultivating:
The ancient Egyptian peasants had followed most important steps before cultivating the farm lands, so they were getting the land very ready by purging the canals and the land from the harmful insects after the flooding water had reduced.
- The second step was the plowing:
The ancient Egyptian peasants were using the cows and oxen to plow up the agricultural lands. There were some inscriptions of the plowing lands on the walls of the “Bani Hassan’s tombs” and” Nikht’s tomb “in Thebes.
- The third step was the Fertilization:
They were using the animal manure to fertilize the farmland, in order that, this type of fertilization very good for the crops because it was providing them with the good nutrients.
- The fourth step was scarfing the land:
The ancient Egyptian peasants were using the ax to scarify the farmland, but in some cases, if the land did not completely dry, the peasant would not scarify the land.
- The fifth step was planting the seeds in the land:-
In this step, they were putting the seeds in their hand, then scattered the seeds on the land after that he pressed the seeds by his foot to plant them in the agricultural lands very well.
The Surveying of the agricultural land:
The ancient Egyptians were using the ropes to know the yards of the farmland to calculate the agricultural wealth to impose the taxes on the farmlands.
- The last step was harvest the corps:
In this step, they harvested the crops and storing them in the silos, as well as the plants were pulled out by the hand and packed them. They found a scene in the one of Al- Shiekh Said’s tomb, which dates back to the old kingdom, confirmed that they were pulling the plants and feeding them to the animals as forage.

These organic gardening books are those that have had the most profound effect on me, and I have read a lot of gardening books.. Most of them just repeat what the last one said, much of which is not great advice in my opinion (and yet somehow they become the popular ones – funny how that is). As one friend said, The Apple Grower is a full-fledged college course on apple growing in its own right, and certainly worth every penny. This book proves that it is possible to grow good apples organically on a small scale, with a minimum of inputs and an integrated systems approach to orchard health.

The cafe sets aside kitchen scraps to feed the chickens a nice snack. You may also consider using scraps to make a compost heap to use with your planting beds.
You can visit the farm to see the Ameraucana chickens, guinea fowls and goats. Yes, that is a blue egg! There is also a bunny named Einstein that hangs out in the chicken pen.
Mel feeds the chickens and goats a little treatDaily feeds the chickens and goats, and collects the eggs from the coop.
Currently, the farm has eggplant growing (purple and white!), okra, carrots, beets, radishes, green beans, onions, horseradish, rosemary bushes, basil, pear trees, an olive grove, peaches, papaya, strawberries and several other fresh herbs and vegetables. Fruit/Vegetables on Blue Clay FarmEggplant & Okra with beautiful flowers. Fresh herbs & vegetables are scattered all over the farm as well.
Okra produces these beautiful yellow flowers and grows in the traditional green, as well as red. Look out for some okra recipes at Manuel's Bread Cafe coming soon - I saw some yummy okra growing! Okra is great pickled, fried, or in soups.

Baaaaaaaaad goats!Life on the farm - Bring in the goats!
There is always endless work to be done on a farm - Clearing away weeds, replanting beds, cleaning the animal pens, feeding animals, harvesting the bounty, watering and caring for plants, growing new seeds...
The rewards of farming are also endless. Look at that smile! Being outdoors in nature is beneficial for your body, mind, and spirit.
"Being a farmer/gardener is such a rewarding hobby/occupation. Being outside with nature is in itself therapeutic... but by putting trust, patience, and love into Gaia (Primordial Goddess of the Earth) in return for her bountiful blessings is the pathway to the most beautiful relationship you could ever imagine. A relationship everyone should have, which is, respect for this Earth and love for our Mother."
Blue Clay Farm GreenhouseThe baby seedlings are sprouting! Once they get a few inches tall, they are moved to the raised beds to grow and prosper.
A huge part of maintaining this farm is growing the garden. Mel is currently planting seedlings which she will move to the raised bad to grow for her fall harvest. She gets them started in the greenhouse. She makes her own planting soil with a mixture of mushroom compost, perlite, vermaculite, and peat moss. She also propagates new plants from trimmings. (A great example is the strawberry tower).
Mel has some seedlings started in the greenhouse to be planted in the garden in mid - September.
Good ideas for new crops this time of year: kale, mustard greens, collard greens, cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, leeks, butternut, spaghetti, and winter squash. Sounds delicious! Manuel's Blue Clay Farm Growing fresh, organic food for Manuel's Bread Cafe.
Something really cool that I learned from Mel is a technique called Espalier to get the best fruit production. This is an ancient planting strategy of forcing a plant to grow on a trellis, which creates a beautiful frame and saves space while increasing production. It comes from the Italian word spalliera, meaning "something to rest the shoulder against." (Thank you wikipedia). Here are the pear trees being trained to grow up a trellis using this Espalier technique.

There is a grove of olive trees on the property, planted in potters. The olives are growing juicier by the day. They will be harvested and used in salads for the cafe.
Olive grove & Onion bloomsEverywhere you look is fresh, alive, and growing.
Another tree on the farm is my personal favorite. I think everyone should have an icon - the FIG tree - in their garden! Just pick them as they ripen, and enjoy. Blue Clay Farms has a gorgeous fig tree that is covered in fruit. If you've had any fig dessert at the cafe, chances are it was grown right here on the farm.

The atmosphere makes it tough to leave. It's so nice to have a little garden tucked away. I'd encourage everyone to grow your own garden patch no matter how little room that you have.
Beautiful scenery and delicious eggsWhat more could you want!
Lastly, here is the meeting area, greenhouse, entry road, and border fence of the farm. I hope you enjoyed this tour of Manuel's Blue Clay Farm and meeting farmer Mel. I'm sure she would appreciate help if you wanted to get experience working on an organic farm!
Do visit the farm and cafe if you get the chance! Have a great day, Laura

Fall is that time of the year when you must take good care of your lawn, to prepare it for long and cold dormant winter months. Fall is a great time for gardening owing to the cool and pleasant weather at the time. The pleasant weather, the piling leaves and the approaching winter months should be enough reason for you to get started with caring for your yard right now. Here are a few tips that you must remember when caring for your yard in autumn.
Watering on schedule
Summer or fall, your lawn needs to be watered on time and watered properly. Make sure your sprinklers are set to water the yard at regular intervals every day. Early morning and evening are good times to soak your yard with adequate water, especially during dry spells in the fall. Also, early morning is when the soil absorbs most of the water, as the air is cooler and the water does not evaporate.
Mow your lawn
If you have a lawn, make sure you mow it regularly, or you will end up with overgrown grass that looks really messy. Fall is when you should water the lawn and also mow the overgrown grass regularly. Through the season, follow this practice and towards the end of the season, drop the blade of your mower a little so that the last cuttings are its lowest. This way, the soil and the crown of the grass will get adequate sunlight and only a small portion of the leaf will turn brown.
You don’t need expert advice to know that the leaves in the yard need to be raked. Leaves, if left on the ground, will get accumulated and become wet due to moisture, thereby forming a sticky layer that can suffocate the grass. Don’t wait for days before you rake the leaves. Get the yard clean every day and remove all fallen leaves on the same day or the next day. This will keep your lawn clean and your grass healthy.
Aerate the soil
Fall is also the time when you aerate the soil so that enough oxygen, water and fertilizer reach the roots of the grass. This is important if there is a lot of foot traffic on your lawn, as that can make the clay soils compact and prevent water and fertilizers from penetrating in.
Patch up the bald spots
Use a lawn-repair mixture to fill in the bald spots in fall. The mixture, which contains, grass seeds, fertilizer and organic mulch will make the grass grow faster. Apply a thick patch of this mixture on the bald spots, compact it and then water the area. Ensure that you continue to water the regions where the mixture is spread on a regular basis. Your lawn’s bald spots will soon be gone.

The final Rural Caucus meeting of the 2024 legislative session took place Wed. Feb. 21 at the Statehouse. State Senator Jean Leising co-chaired the event, which looks at issues related to agricultural events in the state.
All three racing breeds were represented at the event, including the Indiana Standardbred Association. Ernie Gaskin, Indiana Standardbred Association (ISA) Director, addressed the panel pertaining to issues impacting horse racing for the state and it’s impact on the state’s agricultural business. Purdue University completed an updated economic impact study last year providing statistics that horse racing directly affects agriculture in the state and is a $2 billion dollar industry.
Joining Gaskin for the meeting was Tony Renz, executive director of the ISA. Representing the Indiana Thoroughbred racing industry was Brian Elmore, executive director of the Indiana Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA). Elmore also addressed the panel. Chris Duke, President of the Quarter Horse Racing Association of Indiana, was also present for the meeting.
In addition to the impact of horse racing on Indiana’s economy, the panel discussed federal broadband dollars and other issues impacting rural communities. The panel was the final one of 2024. The first rural caucus was held in January at the Statehouse, also co-chaired by Leising, who represents Senate District 42.

While conversion of tropical forest for agriculture results in significant declines in biodiversity and carbon storage, an analysis of Indonesian rainforests shows that farming cacao under the partial shade of high canopy trees can provide a way to balance economic gain with environmental considerations.
The paper, published online in the early edition of PNAS by Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter and colleagues, found that while income is maximized by total removal of the forest canopy, cacao farming under a partially thinned canopy maintains species diversity and reduces environmental impacts.
"We found that a soft intensification of agroforestry that decreases canopy cover by shade trees from 80% to 40%, will double the farmers' income while leaving biodiversity and ecosystem services on a similar level," Dr. Teja Tscharntke, a co-author of the paper and a professor of agroecology at University of Goettingen, told mongabay.com. "This is an example of a win-win or small loss-big gain situation that we need more to identify sustainable conservation strategies."
The researchers say that while the environmental payoffs of shade-grown cacao are evident, economic incentives are needed to encourage this style of farming. They note that premium "shade-grown" coffee could serve as a model to generate higher income for farmer using agroforestry techniques. Steffan-Dewenter and colleagues add that education and awareness campaigns could further the cause.
"Encouragement of cultural preferences for shaded cacao agroforestry systems and education of local farmers about unappreciated ecosystem services provided by shaded systems could further promote the implementation of certification schemes," the authors write. "Such market-based incentives will crucially determine whether shaded agroforestry systems remain important refugia for tropical biodiversity and sources of essential ecosystem services."
"These findings are the result of fruitful collaboration among ecological and socioeconomic groups and among Indonesian and German researchers," added Tscharntke. "The key was to identify the drivers and effects of land use. From this we were able to develop concepts of sustainable land use." The research was conducted at the margins of Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP) in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Sulawesi, an island east of Borneo and northeast of Bali and Java, has high levels of endemic biodiversity which is increasingly threatened by deforestation.

Updated: Dec 12, 2022
To her delight, Autumn Berry walked out of her home last June to the gentle humming sound of bees pollinating a lavender bush by her front door.
In the fourth summer since Berry purchased her Missoula home, she says she’s opted out of the traditional manicured greenery she inherited and instead raises plants native to Montana in her front yard – a technique called xeriscaping.
“I always wanted to xeriscape because I hate watering and mowing,” Berry says. “The garden takes care of itself now.”
A xeriscape, the word is pronounced with a “z” sound and derived from Ancient Greek (xērós, “dry”), is a landscape style that requires little or no irrigation – the term is also loosely used to describe a native plant garden.
Berry grows lavender, tick weed, black-eyed Susan, common yarrow, mountain-ash, spiraea, and much more. She knows her garden well and can readily identify each species.
“This summer we were camping up at Twin Lakes in the Bitterroot and saw spiraea growing everywhere,” Berry says, referring to one of the many plants growing in her own garden.
“It’s wonderful to come home to that,” she adds.
Berry’s husband, Mike Huberman, laughs as he showcased a picture of their house pre-transformation. In the photo, the house sits neatly atop a grassy knoll in the same location.
“My back hurts just looking at this photo,” Huberman says. “Getting the grass out was the worst!”
Their front yard now bursts with colorful flora: pinks, yellows, purples, and greens. Berry has planted everything in her garden herself aside from one elm tree that hovers sixty feet above the house. The garden’s diversity is evident, though some traditional grass still pokes out between plants.
“If we had an apocalypse grass would still grow,” Berry says.
Grass is largely unquestioned as the ideal estate accessory in mainstream American culture.
Marilyn Marler, University of Montana Natural Areas Specialist, says that the traditional landscapes of grass lawns were an invention of French Royalty and inspired by English manors.
“It’s become a status of wealth in American culture,” Marler says. “You expect it.”
Marler says Americans have unknowingly formed a monoculture across the nation with their affinity for traditional lawns. This leads to ecosystem biodiversity loss.
“Lawn grass is the number one irrigated crop in the United States,” Marler says. “It takes a lot of water, especially here in Montana where it’s dry.”
Back to Nature
Marler says that prior to European contact, the plants thriving in Montana were already adapted to the dry climate. Reinstating those plants, not only increases biodiversity but supports local pollinator populations. In addition, the hardiness of native plants gives them a higher survival rate without tons of water.
“Personally, I got tired of watering plants and mowing,” Marler says. “I’d rather have birds and butterflies.”
Sandy Perrin, a plant horticulturist at the Missoula County Weed District, says she’s seen a growing number of Missoulians transform their yards over the past 10 years. Perrin says although a xeriscape takes less water and is less maintenance in the long run, it’s not necessarily easy to start one.
“People don’t realize you can’t just plant native plants and turn your back away,” Perrin says. “It’s a process. You need to get things well-established in your yard before the xeriscape becomes true to efficiency.”
As locals join the xeriscape bandwagon, plant businesses have blossomed in response.
Shiva Solaimanian, resident designer at a landscaping company called Reforestation in Missoula, says nearly every week the business gets a xeriscaping request. Only a few years ago similar requests came in only once or twice a month. “Most want to convert their lawns or help pollinators.”
“We created a lifestyle that doesn’t make sense to the West,” Solaimanian said. “I don’t understand why anyone wants an ugly lawn when they could have a mini thriving habitat with epic wildflowers.”
Gregory Monk, CEO and President of Nature’s Enhancement Inc., says he has also noticed an increase in inquiry, but for a different reason.
“As people’s water bills go up, it’s getting more concerning,” Monk says. “People sometimes get hundreds of dollars of bills per month and they could look at xeriscaping to save money. They could save hundreds of dollars or 65 percent on their water bills depending on the summer.”
Because of a prolific aquifer, Missoula has a good water availability outlook for the future but this is not the case universally across the state. Growing population in any area of Montana in combination with a changing climate can change what once might have been predictability in many locations.
“To ensure our high-quality waters remain, it is important that everyone considers their water consumption, use and impact,” Elena Evans, hydrologist for the City of Missoula says. “Each individual should ask themselves if they can increase their water efficiency.”
According to Evans, xeriscaping could decrease the amount of water that is being pulled out of the aquifer locally. In Missoula, the average metered consumption in winter months is around five million gallons of water per day. In July it peaks at around 21 million gallons per day. That spike is largely due to summer irrigation.
“Often, it’s the bigger issues that seem the most pressing, but it’s up to everyone to look at what they can do. One easy place to look is your backyard,” Evans says. ”

Volume XXXIINumber 1Page 4 Jule-Lynne Macie, the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension coordinator in Rockdale County, offers five winning tips on keeping insects under control in your garden.1. Check your plants often. “You can’t just stand on your back porch with a cup of coffee and stare out at your garden,” Macie said. “Touch the plants and turn the leaves over.” Insect population growth can be so fast that you may not see them on one Saturday and they’ve taken over your plants on the next.2. Know how to care for each plant. “People try to do one thing and think it’s good for everything,” she said. It may not be, so learn what each particular plant needs.3. Don’t plant plants that are known to have pest problems. “If you do plant one of those,” she said, “make sure you take the time to take care of that insect, which can be a full-time project. Any time an insect is named after a plant, it’s not a good sign.”4. Mulch your plants. “This helps prevent competition so the plant can be healthier,” she said. “Use 3 to 4 inches of pine straw or nuggets around your plants. The larger the mulched area, the better.”5. Plant for your zone. “Blue spruce doesn’t grow down here because it’s too hot,” she said. Georgia’s plant hardiness zones range from a cool 6b in Young Harris to a sweltering 8b in Thomasville. Don’t expect plants that aren’t hardy in your zone to grow there just because you like them.These steps will help keep your plants healthier, Macie said, so they can help you quell potential insect problems.If you don’t know what plant hardiness zone you live in or have other gardening questions, call your county UGA Extension office at 1-800-ASK-UGA1.(Stephanie Schupska is a news editor for the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.) By Stephanie SchupskaUniversity of GeorgiaWhether you’re a complete newbie or a seasoned pro in the garden, insect problems can still ruin your whole day. But you don’t have to just wait for the worst to happen.
