AERATORS – WALK-BEHIND
Lawnaire® 28 Aerator
The revolutionary Lawnaire® 28 push aerator offers the cutting-edge technology and precision needed in the golf course industry, and combines it with the durability and efficiency necessary for commercial lawn maintenance.
With vertical coring action, the reciprocating tines of this walk-behind aerator are able to punch straight in and out without tearing the turf. And with this machine, precision goes hand in hand with efficiency. Its 28-inch aerating swath and productive ground speed aerates up to 24,000 square feet per hour. The durable tines aerate down to two and one-half inches, even in hard soil. The durable construction features a reinforced, heavy-gauge steel frame. As for ease of use and comfort, a front caster wheel gives you near zero-turn capability and an isolated handlebar absorbs vibration, making operation and maneuvering almost effortless.
Lawnaire® IV and Lawnaire® V Aerators
Whether you’re a rental house, small lawn care contractor or homeowner, the Lawnaire IV aerator has an application to suit your needs.
This drum-style, self-propelled, high-speed precision commercial turf aerator combines performance, durability and ease of use. Commercial grade components like a solid steel axle and austemper-hardened steel coring tines ensure years of reliable performance in even the most rigorous environments. User-friendly features like the easy-to-operate, handle-mounted throttle and vibration-reducing grips make operation easy and comfortable. Thirty tines spread over a 19-inch swath offer a productive aeration rate of 29,000 square feet per hour. Convenient transportation features such as a fold-down handle and removable weights for easier lifting cap off the long list of efficiency-building features you’ll find in this versatile machine.
The Lawnaire® V aerator offers the same convenient features and durability as the Lawnaire IV aerator. But when you need to aerate a larger area faster, there’s no better choice than this coring, drum-type aerator.
With a 26.5-inch swath and quick ground speeds, you can cover up to 40,000 square feet in an hour. Covered lift grips and a front bumper guard make tying down for transportation easy, as well as add protection from damage. Removable rear wheels simplify maneuvering in tight areas and let you pass through gates and down narrow paths with ease. For rental houses that want to offer their customers the foremost lawn equipment, and for lawn care contractors who know that time means money, the Lawnaire V aerator simply can’t be beat.
Lawnaire® IV and Lawnaire® V Aerators with EST
Legendary Lawnaire Performance and Durability Now with EST – Easy Steer Technology.
The newly redesigned tine assembly allows the user to steer the unit without taking the tines out of the ground. This is accomplished by designing each tine assembly to independently rotate yet be able to drive. This translates into higher productivity and less physical stress on the operator because it is easier to use.
The same convenient features and durability as the standard Lawnaire plug aerator units.
The new Lawnaire Aerator with Easy Steer Technology has the same valuable features that are found on the standard Lawnaire aerators, such as, removable weights, front bumper guard and throttle control up by the operator area. These aerators are ideal for lawn care operators who know that time means money, and for rental houses that want to offer their customers the best lawn care equipment in the market.
AERATORS – TOW-BEHIND
Lawnaire® 3-Point Hitch Aerator
For quality aeration done fast on medium-sized grounds like apartment complexes and sports fields, the Lawnaire® 3-Point Hitch is ideal.
This popular towable aerator is available in a 36-inch model, or choose a larger 48-inch model for wider, open lawns. The durable coring, spoon or slicing tines penetrate densely compacted soil with ease. The 36-inch model is compatible with any tractor that has a category “0” or “1” 3-point hitch capable of lifting 515 lbs. You can operate the 48-inch model with any tractor that has a category “0” or “1” 3-point hitch and is capable of lifting 715 lbs.
Lawnaire® Tow-Behind Aerator
This versatile pull-behind aerator is ideal for any mid-sized turf area of one to five acres.
With a 36-inch swath, the Lawnaire Tow-Behind can aerate one and a half to two acres per hour, quickly and effortlessly. Lifting and lowering the tines is also easy with manual, hydraulic and electric lift options. Choose from coring, spooning or slicing tines for customized aeration according to your needs. All tines aerate to a depth of four inches and are constructed of austemper-hardened steel. For added durability and reduced maintenance, this rugged machine has cast iron tine wheels with sintered bushings and lubrication fittings. The independently mounted tine wheels allow turning while the tines are in the ground, setting a new standard in efficiency.
The Tracaire® 72-inch aerator is the only choice for athletic fields and other large, flat, high traffic areas with compaction issues.
The austemper-hardened steel tines aerate four inches down into even the most challenging surfaces, allowing deep-rooted grass to prosper in even the harshest conditions. An option of coring, spoon or slicing tines provides versatility, while cast iron tine wheels with sintered bushings add durability and reduce maintenance. Tow the Tracaire aerator with a category “1” 3-point hitch and marvel at its resiliency – not to mention that of the resulting turf.
When the terrain gets tough, the Renovaire® commercial aerator gets going. This hard-working tow-behind aerator is at its best on large, undulating turf areas such as golf course fairways and roughs.
With each pair of tine wheels mounted independently from the others, aeration follows the contour of the landscape, providing unmatched coring precision on undulating surfaces. With six feet of aerating width and an operating speed of four mph, the Renovaire is capable of completing three acres in a single hour. Your choice of coring, spoon or slicing tines penetrate to a depth of four inches. Each weight tray is capable of holding up to 150 pounds, allowing pristine aeration even in the most heavily compacted soil. Just attach it to any tractor capable of towing 1,600 pounds and get ready to conquer the ups and downs of the most challenging surfaces.
Jr. Sod Cutter
The Ryan® Jr. Sod Cutter has been the gold standard in the golf, rental and commercial industries for more than 50 years.
The improved Jr. Sod Cutter sports a host of new features, including reduced hand/arm vibration, cut by a remarkable 75 percent for more comfortable operation. A new pneumatic rear castor wheel with lockout allows for cutting around curved landscape features or straight strips with unmatched precision. A true workhorse, the Jr. Sod Cutter packs the speed, convenience and reliability you’ve come to expect from Ryan.
Heavy Duty Sod Cutter
Ride or walk behind the performance and dependability of the Ryan® Heavy Duty Sod Cutter.
Large enough to conquer big jobs yet still easily portable, this unit is ideal for sod farms and sports fields. It is capable of cutting and rolling up to three acres of sod a day. No sod cutter has ever been more user-friendly. Adjust blade depth, change blade angles and control the handle-mounted throttle all from the operator’s station. A cutting-depth guide helps ensure that every adjustment is accurate. An automatic sod cutoff blade provides precise cutting of the sod strips. The forward metering wheel measures the length of the sod strip and triggers the automatic cutoff blade. Sod strips can be cut in lengths from one to six feet long.
Ren-O-Thin® Power Rake
Built for years of reliable operation, the newly redesigned Ren-O-Thin® Power Rake is the leader in efficient dethatching and breaking up of aeration cores.
The Ren-O-Thin Power Rake offers the kind of performance that boosts your bottom line. An easy-to-operate height adjustment lets you fine-tune depth from 1 inch above the ground to 7/8 inch below. Three interchangeable reels allow for quick customization of the dethatching rake. The ergonomic, multi-position handle is designed for different user heights, and it folds for storage and transport. Lift and lock the tines off the ground in transport mode to avoid damaging them or the surface they sit on. And a new, easy-to-install seed box accessory is available with handle-mounted controls to regulate seed flow.
The most productive, easy-to-use, walk behind dethatcher for heavy-duty turf renovation.
The Mataway® Dethatcher is built for heavy-duty turf renovation and dethatching. This self-propelled money maker offers user-friendly features like cutting depth control right from the operator’s station. Its five different reel types are easily interchangeable. For optimal efficiency, a 19-inch working width allows you to cover up to 18,700 square feet per hour.
Delivers maximum seed germination so you can get the job done efficiently.
The Mataway® Overseeder delivers seed straight to the curve-shaped discs, placing it directly into the soil slits for unmatched seed-to-soil contact. You can seed at variable rates for different grass varieties and applications. The seed flow rate is easily controlled right from the operator’s station, and the flow stops automatically when the reel is raised for maximum control and precise operation.

WASHINGTON, D.C., October 21, 1999 —The International Finance Corporation will support the private sector in Cameroon with three new investments worth US$1.88 million in small and medium projects, including a laundry soap factory, a coffee processor, and a poultry farm.
Mr. Mohamadou Diop, IFC's regional representative for Central Africa, said that the new investments demonstrate IFC's readiness and commitment to support viable projects in this and other Central African countries covered by IFC's Douala office. The investments also reflect IFC's recently announced strategy in sub-Saharan Africa, which gives priority to supporting small and medium enterprises.
NOSA Sarl Receives $467,000 Investment for Laundry Soap Factory
IFC approved a guarantee of CFA 280 million ($467,000) to enable Noumsi Samuel Enterprises (NOSA Sarl) to obtain a local currency long term loan of CFA 560 million ($934,000) from the Société Commerciale de Banque-Crédit Lyonnais Cameroun. The loan will help NOSA Sarl to set up a 7,200 tons per annum laundry soap factory in Yaounde, Central Province of Cameroon. The factory will initially process locally produced palm oil as its main raw material. Cameroon has a high demand for laundry soap, which is lower in cost and easier to handle in tablet form than more expensive substitution products, such as powder or liquid detergents. The project will add value to an abundant natural resource, create 80 new jobs, and help to establish a modern industry in the central non-industrialized region of the country.
SAICAM Receives $413,000 Investment for Coffee Processor
IFC has approved a loan of Euro 380,000 ($413,000) to Société Agro-Industrielle et Commerciale du Cameroun (SAICAM), a gourmet coffee processor in Cameroon. The project will expand processing facilities in order to improve quality and expand coffee production from 120 to 600 tons per annum within six years. The plant is located in Bafoussam, Western Cameroon, the main coffee producing region of the country, which has a total annual production of over 20,000 tons of arabica and robusta coffee. The investment will enable SAICAM to expand domestic and export sales, increase coffee grower revenue, earn foreign exchange, and create 30 new jobs.
EPA Receives $1 Million Investment for Poultry Production
IFC has approved a loan of Euro 914,500 ($1,000,000) to Elevage Promotion Afrique (EPA), a major poultry producer in Douala, Cameroon. The project will modernize and expand existing poultry breeding and production facilities in Douala. It also includes relocation to Dschang, Western Cameroon, a more competitive and favorable environment, which will help to increase production capacity, quality, and sales. EPA will benefit from proximity to abundant sources of good quality raw material (corn) and ideal climate conditions for animal breeding. The project will increase supply to local consumers of a more affordable source of animal protein, generate 250 new jobs, and increase revenue to small poultry breeders and corn producers.
The mission of IFC, part of the World Bank Group, is to promote private sector investment in developing countries, which will reduce poverty and improve people's lives. IFC finances private sector investments in the developing world, mobilizes capital in the international financial markets, and provides technical assistance and advice to governments and businesses.

Do you have questions, such as how the CSA works, when your delivery will be, how often you will get produce, when the deliveries will begin, how long you have to pick up your produce, what to expect in your box each week, etc? Visit our FAQs page! If you can't find your answer there, please send us an email.
CSA Share (Boxes of Veggies)
Produce from Earth Spring Farm- this is what is included with your CSA payment.
At Earth Spring Farm we strive to provide the freshest, best-tasting produce that includes staples such as tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini, but also specialty items such as bok choy, fennel, and napa cabbage.
What are we growing this year?? Everything from broccoli & cabbage to beets & turnips, carrots & radishes to beans & kohlrabi, kale & collards to okra & onions, swiss chard & broccoli raab to potatoes & arugula, mizuna & other asian greens to canteloupe & watermelon, lettuce & leeks to cucumbers & zucchini. Is you mouth watering yet? Wait until you try some of the 18+ varieties of tomatoes, 10 varieties of peppers (sweet AND hot), 5 types of eggplant, and 6 different kinds of winter squash! We are also going to try our hand at organic (non-certified) sweet corn this year. And don't forget the herbs... basil, parsley, cilantro, lemongrass, and much more!
The 2 share options- Small and Large- are mostly differentiated by quantity of produce and sometimes more items per box. The produce that arrives in the box each week is a diverse sampling of what we are producing on the farm at that time of year. Note that every year is slightly different depending on how certain crops do with the growing conditions (temperature, precipitation, etc).
Spring: lettuces, kales, collards, swiss chard, radish, beets, broccoli, cabbage, spring onions, kohlrabi, peas
Summer: tomatoes, beans, squash, peppers, onions, eggplants, cucumbers, basil & other herbs, potatoes
Fall: winter squash, sweet potatoes, spinach, carrots, greens, cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, arugula, broccoli
* NEW FOR 2013! In our 2012 End-of-Season Survey (click HERE for results and click HERE for a summary), members suggested we give more produce per item, with less diversity in a box (not less diversity throughout the season!). For example, instead of getting 3 beets, you'd get 6 so you can make a nice little side dish with them. Or instead of getting 2 sweet peppers for two weeks in a row, get 4 or 5 one week so you can make a recipe liked stuffed peppers, and don't get any the following week. Because of this change, you'll notice we modified the # of items per box for each size below. You'll still be getting the same amount of produce overall, but you'll have more of certain items, and less different types of produce. If this is unclear let us know!
The Small Share will suit most people's needs. This weekly box will be a great choice for a single vegetarian or very healthy eater - or a family of 3 or 4. It is also a great choice for 2 people who want to share a box to see how much they will eat and give the CSA a test run. The Small box will have 5-7 items.
The Large Share is truly large. It is great for people who cook almost daily and love lots of fresh food. Typically there are 8-10 items per box and often there is more quantity of certain items.
Examples from previous years...
Below are a few examples of what was in a small vs large box in 2011 and 2012. Note that large boxes often have larger quantities of a some of the items (though not specified in the text portion below). If you would like more of this info, please feel free to visit our Newsletter Archives to see what was in the boxes each week! Don't know what something is (kohlrabi, anyone?)?... Don't worry!

Fruit Share- can only be ordered for the entire season
Fruit from Peters Orchards & Rex Farms- not included with your CSA payment. A fruit share is an extra $100 for the 20-week season.
Fruit can be purchased as an extra option (i.e., fruit must be purchased for the entire season, not on a weekly basis). The fruit share price includes getting equivalent of approximately one quart of fruit (with the exception of blueberries which are in pints) per week. Each week the fruit share will be one type of fruit (i.e., it will not be a quart of mixed fruit). See the approximate schedule below for an idea of what you may be getting throughout the season. This year we will again be buying our fruit from Peters Orchards and Rex Farms. Both orchards are within 10 miles of our farm, and are not organic but both use IPM practices.
See our Prices page for more info!
* Fruit Schedule (approximate)
Strawberries: End of May - End of June/Early July
Cherries: Mid to late June - July
Apricots: June - August
Plums/Pluots: June - October
Peaches: End June - September
Apples: End of June - October
Pears: Early September - October

* Fruit Delivery
Your fruit will be set aside at your drop point with a group of fruit that other members have also ordered. It will be separate from the CSA boxes with a sign that lets you know how much to take per fruit share. Be sure to take only what you have ordered. This is all on the honor system. Please see the page concerning drop points and how they work.
Egg Share- can only be ordered for the entire season
Eggs from a farm in Newville, PA- not included with your CSA payment. Eggs are extra and can be purchased for the season with delivery options for weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
Egg Shares were a new option in 2012 and are back by popular demand! Eggs are only sold by the dozen and are $5/dozen. Egg Shares must be purchased for the entire season; there are delivery options of weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Visit our Prices page for more info. The eggs will be supplied by a farm in Newville, PA (about 20 miles from our farm). They are pasture-raised, non-certified organic. The chickens are fed a no soy diet.
The nutritional aspects of pastured eggs are far more nutritional than their conventional cousins. Not only are the color and flavor of the yolk of pastured eggs better (the yolk is much more orange, thanks to the hens' diet, which is based on grass and insects instead of all corn and grains), but studies have shown that eggs from hens raised on pasture show 4 to 6 times as much vitamin D as typical supermarket eggs, as well as 1/3 less cholesterol, 1/4 less saturated fat, 2/3 more vitamin A, 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids, 2 times more vitamin E, and 7 times more beta carotene.
* Egg Delivery
Eggs will be delivered with your CSA share. Your eggs will be set aside in a cooler with cheese and eggs that other members have also ordered. Be sure to take only what you have ordered. This is all on the honor system.
The 2013 Egg Delivery Schedule is as follows:
Option #1: Weekly Egg Share:
Every week from June 11-Oct 24
Option #2: Bi-Weekly Egg Share
Every other week from June 11-Oct 24. These dates will be:

Cheese- can be ordered on a weekly basis
Cheese from Hillside Farm/Farmstead Fresh Creamery- not included with your CSA payment. Cheese is extra and can be purchased weekly through our website.
While fruit and eggs are options that must be purchased for the season, cheese is an option that can be purchased weekly. Your order will have to be made one week prior to when you want it delivered with your box of produce, and it must be ordered through this website.
All the cheese comes from organic pasture raised, grass fed animals and is made with vegetable rennet. This is a raw milk cheese meaning that it has not been pasteurized and thus retaining all of the good enzymes and vitamins A & D. The cheese has been aged 60 days minimum. The cows milk cheese comes from an Amish-Mennonite family in Juniata County, PA... Christ and Lizzie Esh milk 30 Holstein-Jersey cows at Hillside Farm in Juniata County and the cheese is made at Farmstead Fresh Creamery. The cheese comes in 1/2 lb (approx.) vacuum sealed blocks and is sold through our CSA by the block (not by weight) to make pre-ordering easy. 2012 Prices ranged from $6-7 per block (see our Prices page for more details). Options MAY include:
Baby Swiss Garlic & Herb
Sharp Cheddar Chives & Dill
Havarti Pepper Jack
Monterey Jack Smoked Sharp Cheddar

CHICKEN & PORK:
As in the past, all chicken and pork is pastured-raised, non-certified organic and will come from North Mountain Pastures in Perry County, PA. Their animals are raised humanely with permanent access to pasture, and never receive hormones or antibiotics.
The chickens enjoy constant access to new weeds, seeds and insects, which make up about 30% of their diet. The rest of the chickens' diet is custom-mixed grain from a local mill. It consists of organically-grown corn, oats, and soybeans (all locally-grown) plus a balanced combination of natural minerals from Fertrell. Their meat is tender and flavorful, with yellow-tinted skin and fat due to the increased vitamin A content. 2013 Chicken Options will include: whole chickens, boneless breasts, & legs/thighs. CLICK HERE for prices.
NMP feeds their pigs whey from a local grass-fed cheese operation and supplement their diet with a ration of organically-grown grain from a local feed mill. Raising pigs on pasture not only allows the animal to fully express its instincts to root and forage, but it also changes the fatty acid composition of the meat. 2013 Pork Options will include: pork chops, ribs, shoulder roasts, bratwurst, & a variety of sausages (chorizo, Lincolnshire, sweet Italian, hot Italian). CLICK HERE for prices.
We will be ordering 100% grassfed beef from Landisdale Farm. Grassfed beef is lower in fat and lower LDL cholestrol levels, has fat levels as low as 1/3 as compared to grain-fed cattle, is our richest known source of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid... a cancer inhibitor), and has 2-4 times more omega-3 fatty acids than grain-fed cattle. Their cows do not growth hormones or antibiotics. 2013 Beef Options will include: delmonico steak, sirloin steak, New York strip steak, chuck roast, & ground beef. CLICK HERE for prices.

Get snippy with me! It isn’t often that you get encouraged to be snippy, but within the context of lawn and garden care, I assure you, it is completely okay. Getting snippy in the garden isn’t about attitude, it’s about having the right tools for the job. And, I did say tools – plural. Using the same pair of snips for all gardening tasks can actually damage the blades and spread bacteria. It’s important to have different tools for different tasks for this reason. Fiskars has snips created specifically for different activities, whether multipurpose (like cutting open bags and sawing rope), pruning, or harvesting.
I love fresh herbs. Fiskars Herb Snips allow me to easily snip off sprigs in the garden then quickly chop and mince leaves directly over the bowl in my kitchen. These snips are very comfortable to use and their sharp blades make effortless clean cuts. No knife or cutting board needed, with the added bonus of being dishwasher safe for easy cleanup!
These snips are compact in size with a blade sheath, making them easy to pop into my garden apron for easy access. When I’m looking to harvest plants with thicker stems and stalks, I opt to use Fiskars Vegetable Shears, which are designed for the more rugged cuts and feature an easy-to-clean take-apart design.
I tend to a lot of flower gardens and enjoy creating flower arrangements, so I needed a pruner that would be great for working with cut flowers and keeping my flower beds healthy. The Fiskars Floral Pruner is well suited for cutting, light pruning and deadheading. It also includes a stem stripper for removing leaves or thorns on various sized stems, up to ½ inch.
For more intricate trimming and shaping of plants and flowers, you may elect to use either the Fiskars Micro-Tip® Pruning Shears, Fiskars Curved Micro-Tip® Pruning Snips or the Fiskars Micro-Tip® Pruning Snips. These latter three tools each have their own distinct advantages over the others.
The Fiskars Micro-Tip Pruning Shears feature extra-large handle loops so that gardeners with larger hands or gloved gardeners can use them with ease. The Fiskars Curved Micro-Tip® Pruning Snips and Fiskars Micro-Tip® Pruning Snips are great for reaching plants in tight spaces, with the curved snips providing improved reach and a take-apart design for easy cleaning.
Have you ever needed to slice open a bag of soil? Cut some wires or twine? Infiltrate a newly delivered box of plants or tools? This usually necessitates me running into my house and scavenging for a pair of paper scissors or a serrated steak knife (or butter knife if all else fails).
Thanks to Fiskars, I now have two tools dedicated for opening, slicing and cutting tasks: a pair of Multipurpose Shears and Multipurpose Snips. Personally, I favor the Multipurpose Shears for their versatility. The shears come apart for use as a knife and have special notches on the blades for cutting wire, cutting twine and opening bottles. Furthermore, it comes with a sheath and a built-in sharpener.
With different snips for different tasks, you will always have the right tool for the cut with Fiskars, making it easy to get snippy in your garden!


From Grass to Graphene, AD Plant providing power to produce chemicals
The plant will be supplied by MT-Energie UK and will produce power and heat, benefiting the neighbour, Thomas Swan & Co Ltd, a leading chemicals and nanotechnology company in the UK.
The AD facility, which will run on locally grown grass, whole crop silage and maize, is set to receive income from the government’s FIT (Feed In Tariff) scheme, the non-domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) and sales from generation of heat and power. The use of generated heat and electricity will offset Thomas Swan’s use of fossil fuel sourced power, contributing to the reduction of their carbon footprint. To reduce the viscosity and to make the substrate mixable, enzymes of the Dutch specialist supplier DSM will be used in this plant.
The build phase of the project will be completed in late 2014 with full production of heat, power and liquid fertiliser (digestate), which will be spread back on the nearby farmland. The nutrient-rich digestate will ensure that future crops destined for the plant are produced in a sustainable way whilst improving soil organic matter.
Harry Hoskyns Abrahall from Hallwick Energy today said “With this project we prove that AD is a viable and effective solution which brings benefits not only to farms and households but also to energy-intensive businesses”.
Andrew Black, Managing Director of MT-Energie UK, added “We are looking forward to a good working relationship with Hallwick Energy, and we are delighted to be an integral part of this ambitious and unique project. This project will add to our portfolio of successful facilities in the UK and will reinforce our commitment to delivering ambitious projects in the UK market”.
Harry Swan, Managing Director of Thomas Swan, stated “Thomas Swan Ltd. has always been committed in the search for more sustainable energy generation and reduction of waste. Through this plant we will be able to integrate our existing energy needs with a clean source which will reduce the environmental impact of our activity. Thanks to this project we will also be less susceptible to ever rising energy prices, reducing overheads and securing our business”.

Spring is upon us and now is the perfect time to start prepping before the weather gets too warm. Chris James Landscaping knows that a healthy and thriving landscape is one of the best things you can do for your home during this season. Now is the best time to get started with these top spring landscaping tips, create a plan, and create a beautiful outdoor space.
1. Inspect Trees and Shrubs
Once you have a plan of action or a vision for this year’s spring landscape you will want to inspect your entire property, starting with your trees and shrubs. While walking around your property look for dead branches or branches that need pruning. Any dead or diseased limbs and branches need to be trimmed back to allow for healthy new growth and to prevent damage to your property.
Pruning your shrubs and trees are also a huge part of keeping up with your landscape. In order to keep a neat and pristine look, you need to trim back any branches that are longer and pay close attention to holes in your shrubs. Research fertilizer for each of your trees and shrubs, it will help prevent diseases, insect infestations, and will also encourage growth.
2. Feed Your Lawn
Just like your shrubs, fertilizing your lawn is very important to promote healthy and vibrant green grass. Performing a soil test can help you determine exactly what your lawn is lacking or oversaturated in.
Since fertilizers are not a one size fits all treatment it is important to know the details of what is below your lawn. Hiring a professional can help to alleviate all the guesswork and help you to find the right fertilizer for your lawn.
3. Consider Adding Mulch
There are many reasons you should consider adding or reapplying mulch to your landscape. Mulch is available in all types of forms and colors and as it decomposes adds nutrients and compliments the existing soil. Mulch adds beauty to your outdoor space along with helping to prevent new weed growth.
While it doesn’t prevent weeds altogether it acts as a barrier to new seeds falling into the soil and taking root. Mulch is also a temperature regulator, keeping the soil and plants cool in the summer months and helping to retain heat in the winter. If you live on a slope or have shrubs or trees on hills it also helps to prevent erosion.
4. Inspect Your Sprinkler System
Once you have put in the work to beautify your lawn and garden you will want to make sure that you can keep it up with the proper irrigation system. If you already have one check to make sure it is still working as it should.
You want to make sure that each area of your yard is getting the right amount of water. Any changes in your landscape from last year can cause over or under-watering.
5. Maintenance Your Lawnmower
Keeping up with maintenance on your lawnmower and other lawn care equipment is vital to keeping up with your yard throughout the year. Overgrown lawns and gardens are at risk for pest problems and disease. They are harder to maintain when they are not regularly kept.
If you still have your manual pull it out and take a look at the maintenance schedule. If you no longer have it you can find a digital manual online by just searching for your specific equipment. Make sure you are changing any oil, cleaning filters, and lubricating necessary parts to extend the life of your equipment.

One of Victoria's largest annual community events, the Royal Melbourne Show, is being cancelled for the second year running due to the coronavirus pandemic.
- The Royal Melbourne Show was scheduled to start on September 23
- Organisers said the pandemic made it difficult to plan for large roving crowds
- The show has been running since 1848 and has only ever been cancelled for world wars
The showgrounds will instead continue to be used as one of the state's largest COVID-19 testing and vaccination facilities.
Up until last year, the show had only been called off twice since it began in 1848, for the war effort in 1915 and 1940-1945.
The event showcases excellence in agriculture, with thousands of producers from regional and rural Victoria demonstrating their products and livestock.
The show was supposed to run for 11 days starting on September 23, attracting 450,000 visitors and contributing more than $244 million to the state's economy.
The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria's (RASV) chief executive Brad Jenkens said the event was cancelled because of the difficulties in planning a major event, "particularly those with large free-roaming crowds".
"Despite not holding the 2021 Royal Melbourne Show, the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria is exploring and developing new initiatives and opportunities to celebrate food and agricultural producers, rural and regional Victoria and our talented creative industries," Mr Jenkins said.
Matt Coleman, the RASV president, said a decision had to be made to allow certainty for the exhibitors, competitors and volunteers.

NZ GM pine trials destroyed
A field trial of genetically modified pine trees at Rotarua, New Zealand has been completely destroyed by vandals, reports the NZ Herald. The trial, involving 375 radiata pine trees, some of which have been modified for herbicide tolerance, was being run by the Crown Research Institute, Scion. It puts the damage caused at NZ$400,000 ($328,000) and says that the loss will set back a study into herbicide tolerance and reproductive development by at least a year. Prominent anti-biotech group, GE Free NZ, has denied responsibility for the attack. The trials were approved in December 2010 ( Agrow No 607, p 22).

Ingham cane farmer Michael Pisano says North Queensland residents are used to a lot of rain, but the monsoon-like conditions of the past month, especially in the past week, have been something else.
"We do have rainfalls in North Queensland, but never anything like this," he said.
Thousands of hectares of cane fields in North Queensland have been damaged by the worst flooding in more than 20 years, but it could be months before the full extent of the damage is revealed.
With more heavy rain expected in Townsville over the next few days, there are fears the flooding – which has already damaged other crops – could return to the North Queensland capital.
Mr Pisano, who runs two family-owned farms supplying Herbert River mills near Ingham, 100 kilometres north-west of Townsville, said the outlook for this year's crop was not good.
"I'm going to have to plough out a block of cane," he said.
"This last 10 or 12 days we've had up to a metre and a half of rain. And two and a half since mid-December. We had rainfall of 180 millimetres of rain in an hour and this came down in such a short period of time, the physical damage is extensive."
Mr Pisano, who represents the Herbert River region for peak body Canegrowers, said the crop losses were in addition to damaged rail infrastructure and other problems that will hit productivity for farmers.
The damage bill is expected to run into the hundreds of millions of dollars as insurance companies like Suncorp hit the ground in Townsville to start assessing the damage to homes and public infrastructure.
Mining giant Glencore, which exports out of the Port of Townsville, donated $1 million to the Premier's flood appeal which is aiming to help the thousands of residents who have lost their homes over the past week.
Canegrowers chief executive Dan Galligan said it would be some time before farmers and the Department of Agriculture can work out whether the thousands of flooded cane fields have been permanently damaged from the 1.2 metres of rain that has fallen in the past week.
The Herbert River region has received more than two metres of rain since the start of December, while in the Burdekin region some farms have recorded more than 600 millimetres in less than a week. Cane fields staying in flooded water can start to produce problems come harvest time, with reduced yield.
"Some areas of sugar have been standing in water for many days and we are worried about the effect such a long inundation will have on the cane plants," Mr Galligan said.
"Sugar cane doesn't like to have its feet wet for too long or to be without sunlight for too long. In fact, it may not be until the harvest begins that reduced sugar content from stunted growth and side shoots can be measured."
Unprecedented flooding event
Most of the 1000 residents who were forced to evacuate their homes over the weekend have begun to return to assess the damage.
The Insurance Council of Australia said it had received 6525 claims worth $80 million, with the total damage bill expected to run close to $1 billion.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said it would take months for Townsville residents to recover from the unprecedented flooding event which claimed the lives of two men.
It is still too early to assess the damage to public infrastructure, but there is expected to be a significant hit to state coffers. But the bulk of the repair bill should be picked up by the federal government, under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten visited Townsville on Wednesday, following a trip by Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday.
Ms Palaszczuk said 300 people remained in evacuation centres and 9000 people remain without power. While 2000 homes were inundated with floodwater, more than 10,000 more are expected to have sustained some damage.
She said North Queenslanders were resilient but it was going to take a while to get back to normal.
"They're going to feel it now. Not just for the days and weeks ahead – it's going to be months and years," Ms Palaszczuk said.
"To go back into your home and to have lost things and having to rebuild is going to be very hard for many people to take on. There are a lot of isolated communities in our state at the moment and we are doing everything we can to get food supplies to you."
However, the monsoon-like conditions have been welcomed by some farmers in western Queensland. The region, stricken by drought in the past few years, has received up to 150 millimetres of rain in the past few days.

For not doing anything to prevent the sudden spike in the cost of garlic in the country despite adequate supply, the Department of Agriculture (DA) tolerated garlic traders’ price manipulation, the Senate committee on agriculture and food said on Thursday.
Sen. Cynthia Villar, chairperson of the committee, said the DA had failed to come up with mechanisms for monitoring the price movement of garlic and other agricultural products and did not shield consumers from abusive traders.
Villar noted that under Republic Act 7581 or the Price Act of 1991, which was amended in 2012, the DA was tasked to create a consumer protection group to monitor the prices of all agricultural products in the country.
However, the DA broke the law by failing to create the group and allowing suppliers to freely adjust prices of agricultural products without being held into account.
“The consumer protection group is supposed to monitor and act on sudden movements in the prices of agricultural products in the country, but since the DA failed to create such body, there is no one monitoring the prices,” the senator pointed out.
The committee also saw no reason for sellers to increase garlic prices to between P280 and P300 per kilo, because there was no shortage in the supply of garlic.
According to Villar the price per kilo of imported garlic including duties was only P17 while locally produced garlic is sold for P40.
“Besides, 90 percent of our garlic supply is imported so [the price]should be lower, and we can always import more if needed,” Villar said.
To immediately address the issue and to identify those responsible for the unlawful garlic price increase, Villar said the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are conducting an investigation and tracing the cause of the increase.
Traders who manipulated prices will face charges and their permits may be cancelled.
Villar expressed belief that the filing of cases against suppliers found liable could discourage others from price manipulation and eventually help bring down the prices of garlic.
For its part, the DA told the Senate committee that it would come up with a suggested retail price (SRP) for garlic next week and those who refuse to comply will be sanctioned.
Villar said she expected the DA to set the SRP for garlic at a range of P70 to P100 per kilo as soon as it finishes its computation.

Status and Revision History
Published on Jun 22, 2023


Wheat futures rallied on Monday to touch their highest price in more than two weeks, buoyed after Russia halted its participation in the grain deal reached earlier this year that had allowed Ukrainian ships to resume exports via that Black Sea.
Over the weekend, Russia said it was suspending participation in the export of agricultural products from Ukrainian ports, citing an attack on the Crimean Black port city of Sevastopol, which Russia blamed on Ukraine, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“Russia is sending a clear signal that Crimea is their sovereign territory,” said Sal Gilbertie, president and chief investment officer at Teucrium Trading.
The most-active December wheat contract
climbed 32 cents, or 3.9%, to $8.61 1/4 a bushel in Chicago. It traded as high as $6.93 1/4 a bushel, its highest level since Oct. 13, FactSet data show.
“It is still in Russia’s best interest to both abide by and renew the Istanbul grain export agreement because Russia has the world’s largest exportable supplies of wheat and fertilizer, both of which are accessible through the Black Sea,” Gilbertie told MarketWatch. “Russia benefits more from free transit conditions in the Black Sea than does Ukraine, so it would not be a surprise if Russia ultimately agrees to extend the agreement.”
Russia said that Ukraine carried out a “massive” drone attack on the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, damaging one warship, BBC News reported on Sunday.
“Russia is trying all it can to bring Ukraine to heel,” Jack Scoville, a vice president and grains analyst at The Price Futures Group, told MarketWatch. “I think eventually Russia will give in, but they want to control Ukraine and will do anything it can to make that happen, including economic starvation via reduced export capacity.”
Russia and Ukraine had reached a deal in July, backed by the United Nations, to resume exports of Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea for the first time since the Russian invasion in late February.
The deal had been “successful in that it allowed hundreds of trapped ships to leave Ukraine waters and it made the cost of shipping and insurance slightly more affordable across the Black Sea, which benefited both Russia and Ukraine,” said Gilbertie. “The deal mitigated some of the risks of accessing Black Sea grains which calmed grain markets and lowered prices from their postwar highs due to significant amounts of wheat and corn leaving Ukraine.”
The deal was due to expire on Nov. 19.
A barrage of attacks by Russia on Ukraine earlier in October had also led to a rally in wheat prices to their highest since June, as the attacks raised the risk of a disruption to the grain deal.
The Wall Street Journal has reported that the United Nations and Turkey have scrambled to rescue the agreement, and that grain ships continued move in and out of Ukrainian waters in the Black Sea, even after Russia announced that it would no longer participate in the grain deal which had guaranteed safe passage for those ships.
Separately, TASS reported Monday that Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that “in conditions when Russia speaks about impossibility of guaranteeing safe shipping in indicated areas, such deal certainly can hardly be implemented.” He also said it would be “much more risky, dangerous and non-guaranteed.”
Still, Gilbertie expects the grain accord to be extended or renewed in a new form given that it’s in Russia’s best interest to keep Black Sea shipping “viable.” The lack of a renewed agreement would “elevate the risks of expanding the Black Sea conflict beyond Ukraine and Russia, and would not be welcomed by the markets” — especially for wheat, corn and fertilizer.
“If the grain deal is not renewed, the threat of the markets approaching or exceeding their Springtime postwar highs becomes more viable.” said Gilbertie.

I have ordered seeds and garden supplies from Stokes for several years. My 2015 order was shipped very fast even though my order was made in February and most of it wouldn't be planted until May (The poor UPS driver had to park at the road and wade through the snowbanks in my long farm laneway). Good email notices. I like how their catalogue gives detailed information about disease resistance. I have a terrible time with powdery mildew - so my luck with cucumbers has really improved by buying more resistant varieties.

I have no idea why anyone would think $6.95 is a high rate for a shipping fee, they haven't raised that rate in years, I have dealt with Stokes Seeds over 25 years, they are still the freshest more reliable seeds, I used to grow over 5 acres of pumpkins for market, never had a problem with their seeds, service or fees, awesome company to deal with.

This company has been around for years but I don't recall ever having ordered from them before.This year I gave them a try after visiting their website and reading the meticulous information given for almost all the seed they sell.I ordered seed of brachycome,ursinia and catananche and received large,generous packets of each.Germination was excellent. Their website makes fascinating reading and they have a great selection.I'm sorry I didn't order more than I did.

I think the seeds are somewhat pricey -- probably, in part, due to the size of the packets they offer. Their packets, in general, contain many more seeds than those from other catalogues. A small nursery could manage on the amount of plants one can grow from a packet of Stokes' seeds. So perhaps their offerings are not for the 'micro' or very small home gardener. That said, their offerings are excellent -- they have a huge selection of petunia seed, as well as marigolds and impatiens. Same with the vegetables. I ordered Durango mixed marigold seeds about 4 years ago. I'm still planting that seed these years later with excellent germination results. I think every seed from Stokes germinates -- the rates are amazing. The catalogue is very nice as well. They have become a regular supplier for me.

Stokes has the most comprehensive information on growing their seeds/plants anywhere. Excellent information in their catalog and even greater detail on the individual seed packets.

I pulled several herb seed packets out of the refrigerator that were well past due. I just tossed them in garden boxes to see what would happen and it was unbelievable!

Absolutely love this company. Have ordered a variety of flower seeds from them over the past few years and have never been disappointed. The large packet size is nice, and the option to purchase grower-quantity sizes is great, for example being able to order ounces of different sunflower seeds for a sunflower garden.

I searched several seed companies to find gourd seeds. I finally came across Stokes and they had the most variety!
On April 10th, 2009, cherokeeleprechaun added the following:
My seeds and other items arrived 2 days ago and I they are all planted and in the greenhouse. I had received emails that let me know the progress of my order in their warehouse and when it was shipped out.
I have raised a few gourds in my time, but this year I am aiming at raising a few specialty varieties for fun and crafts. Have done my homework and research and am grateful that STOKES had the wide variety for me to purchase all at one time, from one place. However, I forgot to order the snake gourds! Oh well I think the other nine will keep me plenty busy!
More to come as the little rascals germinate. May spring burst forth in a glorious blaze of color and greenery!
On April 28th, 2009, cherokeeleprechaun added the following:
Update on my gourds.
Nearly all of the seeds germinated even though my barn cats decided to investigate the newly potted seed trays. I suspect that has something to do with the few that did not germinate.
The germinated plants are healthy and growing very well. I have hardened them all off and they are ready to be placed outside.
Those that have already gone forward to the mound beds are thriving.
The bushel gourds were the last to germinate but they are catching up fast!
I will definately order again from STOKES.
Side note: As nearly all of the seeds that I planted germinated, I had extra plants. A church group came to get manure for their community garden (I have a continuous renewable resource of it with my horses!) and I offered them the extras. They were impressed with the size of the plants and their healthiness for the short time that I had had been growing them. They are looking forward to doing some youth group crafts with them this fall. They are going to go in a special section for the kids to grow.
Seems they have not been able to germinate gourds in their garden plot so THANKS AGAIN STOKES !!!

Stokes is a semi-local company for me, with their US warehouse about ten miles away and their headquarters in Canada within easy reach. They have excellent seeds with great germination and are to be recommended in every way -- fast service, decent and comprehensive selection and amazing cultural information, both in their catalog and on the seed packets. Mystery seeds are unlikely from them. I highly recommend their products. The one time I had an issue, I got a letter of explanation from their CEO and a no-questions-asked refund (even though the seeds were not really defective). I've bought from them for over 20 years.

One of the best things is the comprehensive list of instructions on the back of the packages. I've followed them closely, with what I consider 100% success. All seeds had a high germination rate, and performed in the garden as illustrated. I always recommend Stokes if asked about my beautiful flower beds.

I've been ordering seeds from this company since the eighties.

I have ordered seeds from Stokes for many years and did so again this year. I trust their catalog and their very prompt delivery.

What our customers say
Thank you for the good service provided when I ordered new turf to create a lawn. It arrived promptly and was off loaded onto my property where it was very accessible for me. The turf was super - not a weed in sight. I am told not to worry about the fungus that subsequently appeared. I have done as you advised and cut the turf and can't see any at the moment. Time will tell. All in all I think I have bought a good product at a good price compared to other suppliers. Again, time will tell.

Cabbage. Did you know it contains more Vitamin C than oranges?
I heard that at the doughnut shop once.
Onions. They’re thorta packed in. But I am who I am, and that’s all that I am.
Tomatoes. See those evil sprouts in my soil? That’s what I’m doing today. They’re demons.
I’m also trying to decide whether to construct tomato cages from bamboo sticks (cuter) or just throw on the metal tomato cages I use every year. The latter are reliable…they’re just bulky and industrial, and that is counter to the mission of this new garden area of mine, which is meant to be a little country garden haven with corn and sunflowers and happiness.
But I just don’t know if I want to mess with bamboo sticks. I’m not feeling very dextrous these days.
I pruned all my knockout roses down to the quick this spring, and I’m so glad I did. They’re coming back very nicely.
I also pruned my crepe myrtles down to the quick, and they’re coming back. But they were about four feet tall when I pruned them…and I kind of miss the height. They’re a little shrimpy right now.
I’ve got lots of parsley, cilantro, chives, and sage growing, but am now planning my basil strategy. My girl and I went to Lowe’s last night and I found this Boxwood Basil…and I fell in love instantly. They’re little shrub-like basil plants with tiny leaves. I’m smitten.
And…kohlrabi, which brings me to my question.
When do you harvest kohlrabi? This is my first year of growing it. How large/small in diameter should it get before I rip it from its earthly home?
Any kohlrabi support would be greatly appreciated.
And if your garden is growing, let me know what it’s up to!
It’s like discussing childbirth stories. Only slightly less personal.
