Soyabean exports from Paraguay to Brazil have increased 370% year-on-year in the first half of 2020 due to low water levels complicating other export routes, AgriCensus reported on 14 July.
The latest data published from Paraguay’s central bank also showed that strong Brazilian domestic demand was a factor in the huge export surge.
For the January-June period, Brazil acquired 379,100 tonnes of soyabeans from Paraguay, a dramatic increase from 80,600 tonnes in the same period in 2019. Paraguay exported a total of 3.96M tonnes of soyabeans in the first six months of 2020, up 8.5% on the same period in 2019.
“Although Brazil has had a record soyabean campaign, almost all of its soyabean is being exported to China. Due to this, Brazil increased purchases from Paraguay for domestic consumption,” Daniel Hidalgo, head of the central bank’s foreign trade department, told AgriCensus.
“Brazil will continue buying our soyabeans. It is expected that this growth will continue in the second half, but expectations are that our second main export destination will be Russia,” Hidalgo was quoted as saying.
Exports to Argentina, Paraguay’s largest soyabean importer, reached 3.1M tonnes, up 18.7% year-on-year.
According to Hidalgo, soyabean exports for the whole of 2020 would grow 25% from the 4.9M tonnes exported in 2019.
Exports of soya oil totalled 253,100 tonnes in the January-June period, down 17.6% from the 307,400 tonnes exported in the same period of 2019. Soya meal exports had declined 26.3% to 834,400 tonnes over the period, according to the bank’s statistics.
Around 600,000 tonnes of soyabeans were in storage at Paraguayan ports due to very low water levels in the Paraná River halting the flow of barges, the head of Paraguay’s maritime and shipping chamber, CAFyM, told AgriCensus.
Paraguayan exporters usually shipped nearly 30% of total soyabean exports via this section of the Paraná River. Barges are used to ship soyabeans to ports in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.
In the 2019/20 season, Paraguay produced 10.6M tonnes of soybeans, a 34% increase from the previous season and a new record, according to national production association UGP.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has said it expected soyabean production in Paraguay to reach 10.25M tonnes in the 2020/21 season, with soyabean exports in 2019/20 and 2020/21 reaching 5.9M tonnes and 6.3M tonnes respectively.
Rural sectors had also been urging the government to negotiate with Chinese authorities to open up this market for Paraguayan soyabean exports, AgriCensus said.

Hello, and welcome to another week of delicious, locally inspired meals. This week, the bulk of my food came from Sleeping Frog Farms via Tucson CSA and the hard-working farmers that haul their local produce to the Rillito Park Farmers’ Market every Sunday. (The owners of Markley Farms told me that they leave their house around 5:00am every Sunday in order to make it to the market on time, a true testament to their dedication and hard work!)
As is typical in the summer months, the market was bountiful with tomatoes, heirloom melons that looked to be the size of my black lab, juicy peaches that drip down your chin when you bite into them, and sweet yellow corn begging to be eaten right off the cob. The beautiful colors and rich flavors of summer produce make them hard to resist, and I loaded my reusable bags with purple potatoes, jalapeños, tomatoes, green beans, carrots, eggplant, zucchini, bell peppers, peaches, potatoes, lemon cucumbers, and Sonoran wheat tortillas from Tucson Tortilla. What a haul! Although many of these things taste great on their own, I have special plans for them: the five mouthwatering recipes below.
Summer Harvest Soup from Edible Baja Arizona: This flavorful Summer Harvest Soup is capable of knocking out more than a few of your daily veggie requirements. Packed with summer produce such as zucchini, bell peppers, and sweet corn, it’s hearty yet light enough for a warm summer night. Top it with creamy avocado and homemade tortilla strips for an even more satisfying meal.
Fresh Huevos Rancheros from Cookie and Kate: I love making huevos rancheros on busy weeknights when I’m pressed for time. It’s hearty, protein-packed, and so comforting. In fact, huevos rancheros is the number one reason I keep batches of homemade black beans in my freezer! I can’t wait to use the Sonoran wheat tortillas that I got from Tucson Tortilla in this colorful recipe.
Summer Salad with Spiced Chickpeas from Edible Baja Arizona: Are you a salad-for-dinner kind of person? In my humble opinion, this Summer Salad with Spiced Chickpeas could turn anyone into a salad-for-dinner kind of person. Why? It’s packed with so many not-boring things, like crisp cucumbers, sautéed corn, salty olives, juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy avocado, and pan-seared spicy chickpeas. It will change your idea of what a great salad really is, and it’s perfect for a summertime dinner.
Roasted Zucchini & Eggplant Puttanesca Pasta from The Pioneer Woman: Oh, hello saucy pasta starring roasted summer veggies (shoutout to those deep purple eggplants in my fridge right now) brine-y olives, and plenty of fresh herbs. Pasta is the perfect way to hide (or showcase, depending on how you look at it) never-ending summer veggies like zucchini, which is why this recipe has found its way onto more than a few weekly meal plans this summer.
Spicy Peanut Soba Noodle Salad from Pinch of Yum: Soba noodles. Bright red bell peppers. Crunchy purple cabbage. Fresh summer garden herbs. Sweet and spicy peanut dressing. You know that this Asian-sinspired noodle salad is going to be a good one.

Thailand’s prime minister said April 30 his country had agreed in principle to form a rice price-fixing cartel with Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar as costs of the staple grain rocket.
The grouping of Mekong nations would be similar to the oil cartel OPEC, and would be called the Organization of Rice Exporting Countries (OREC).
“I have talked with Myanmar and invited them to join the rice exporting countries cartel, which will include Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, to fix the price,” Premier Samak Sundaravej told reporters.
He said Myanmar’s Prime Minister General Thein Sein, in Thailand for an official visit, had agreed to join, even though the military-ruled nation was not currently a large rice exporter.
“Thailand will help them in terms of technical support to improve their production for export,” Samak said.
Samak said Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos had also agreed to join, and Thai Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama said OREC should begin meeting soon. (AFP)

Machine for Cut Grass: The Benefits and Importance of Buying from Wholesale Vendors
Grass-cutting machines have been in the market for a long time, providing homeowners and landscapers with an efficient and time-saving solution for lawn maintenance. With the increasing demand for lawn care services, the market has been flooded with various machines for cutting grass. However, finding the right one that suits your needs and budget can be challenging. This article aims to highlight the benefits of using a machine for cutting grass and explain why buying it from wholesale vendors can be a great decision.
Benefits of Using a Machine for Cut Grass
- Time-saving: Cutting grass can take hours, especially if you have a large lawn. A machine for cutting grass can complete the job in a fraction of the time, freeing up your schedule for other activities.
- Consistent and precise cuts: A machine for cutting grass can cut the grass evenly, ensuring a neat and well-manicured lawn. The blades are designed to cut the grass precisely, leaving no room for uneven cuts.
- Efficient: Grass-cutting machines are designed to be efficient, using less energy and time than manual cutting. They also come with adjustable settings, allowing you to control the height and speed of the blades for better results.
- Reduced physical strain: Manual grass cutting can be physically demanding, especially if you have a large lawn. A machine for cutting grass takes the strain off your body, reducing the risk of injury and allowing you to complete the job quickly.
- Cost-effective: In the long run, a machine for cutting grass can save you money compared to hiring a professional lawn care service. The initial investment may be high, but the cost savings over time make it worthwhile.
Buying from Wholesale Vendors
Buying a machine for cutting grass from a wholesale vendor can offer a range of benefits, including lower prices and a more comprehensive range of products. Wholesale vendors buy products in bulk and sell them at a lower cost, making it a cost-effective option for customers. They also have a more comprehensive range of products, making it easier for you to find the machine that suits your needs.
- Lower prices: Wholesale vendors offer lower prices than retail stores, making it a cost-effective option for customers. This can be especially beneficial for those on a tight budget but still want to invest in a high-quality machine for the cut grass.
- A more comprehensive range of products: Wholesale vendors have a wider range of products compared to retail stores, making it easier for you to find the machine that suits your needs. They also offer a range of accessories and spare parts, ensuring you have everything you need to keep your machine in good condition.
- Good customer service: Wholesale vendors typically offer good customer service, ensuring you receive the support you need if you encounter any problems with your machine. They can also provide you with information and advice on using and maintaining your machine for optimal performance.
A machine for cutting grass is a must-have for anyone who wants to keep their lawn well-manicured and well-maintained. It provides various benefits, including time-saving, consistent and precise cuts, efficiency, reduced physical strain, and cost-effectiveness. Buying from a wholesale vendor can offer even more help, including lower prices and a more comprehensive range of products. Whether a homeowner or a professional landscaper, investing in a machine for cutting grass is a wise decision that will help you save time and effort while ensuring that your lawn looks its best.

Making Sukumo / Composting Indigo Leaves
Three straw bags bursting full of indigo leaves have fermented in straw bags under wheat straw and oak leaves for two months now. I'm back from Sri Lanka and back to work. It was time to mix up the fermenting leaves and make sure they haven't rotted but composted just the right amount.
We dug them out from their cozy home in the fermentation box and combined them together into one straw mat. The fermentation was not even. There were dry areas and wet areas. We hand shredded and remixed all the 80% composted blue ammonia strength indigo muck and packed it tightly into a new straw mat for the final week of fermentation. Looks like it will be another good 20kg of fermented sukumo Japanese indigo. It will be fermented again in the indigo vats this summer and be used to dye. (Yes, that is Kate Marshall from Australia visiting for a few days! Great timing Kate!)
We are packing it in tightly and quickly to get it back in the fermentation box. A single fly laying eggs in it and we will get small maggots. Yuck.
And finally some heavy grindstones placed on top to keep the oxygen out and the compost compressed.
It was warm enough for Ogata san to do some indigo dyeing. She has been stitching and working on this piece for a month or so.

The agave plant is a desert succulent used to make tequila. It is commercially farmed throughout the desert regions of the United States. It is also grown privately, either for personal use or for decoration. Agave plants have long, spear-shaped leaves tinged a blue-green color. It is an attractive plant that will retain its attractiveness and health with proper pruning.
Examine your agave for any brown and brittle leaves. These leaves are not getting enough nutrients and may be draining the rest of the plant. Slide the blades of your pruning shears down to the base of brown leaves and cut them away.
Look for diseased leaves. These leaves may have yellow or brown spots or show signs of rotting from pests. Cut away these leaves as you did in Step 1. Do not compost diseased leaves; throw them away or burn them if it is legal.
Maintain the growth area and size of your agave with pruning. Agaves can become very tall and wide. Trim away whole branches by snipping them just under the leaf clusters. Snip growth on the top for a shorter plant and growth on the side for a thinner plant.

The port of Riga received a container train with Ukrainian grain for the first time
Last week, Rīgas Universālais Termināls (RUT) received and unloaded a test train with Ukrainian grain.
The products were delivered to the Riga Free Port by the subsidiary company of Latvian Railways — SIA “LDZ CARGO”, reports Rail Insider.
So, 1,423 tons of rapeseed were sent from Ukraine in 54 containers. They were brought to the Kaunas intermodal railway terminal. There, the grain was loaded onto the platforms of SIA “LDZ CARGO” to continue the journey to Riga. Currently, Ukrainian rape is unloaded and stored in RUT warehouses.
The manager of the Riga Free Port, Ansis Zeltinsh, said that since the beginning of the full-scale war, the terminals of the port have been processing Ukrainian grain cargoes, but the latter still arrived at the port by road transport. The capacities of several terminals in the port of Riga allow receiving and qualitatively processing container trains with Ukrainian grain.
“We hope that this first test for the entire logistics chain will be successful and from now on we will regularly receive trains with Ukrainian grain at the port of Riga,” said Zeltinsh.


John Craven: The madness of throwing away decent food
Throwing away food because it doesn’t look perfect is foolish at a time when we need to increase food production, says BBC Countryfile's John Craven.
Ever since my Countryfile investigation into food waste (Sunday 17 January), people have been stopping me to say how disgusted they were to see perfectly good vegetables being thrown away – all because they didn’t meet strict supermarket standards of perfection. But how much are we consumers to blame for this waste?
Just about every other type of fruit and vegetable faces the same tough beauty test. Vast amounts never make it from the fields to the shelves, despite last year’s decision by the EU to relax its rules on so-called wonky veg after 20 years, because one-fifth of farm produce was being rejected due to its appearance, with much of it being ploughed back into the land.
The will to change?
Now 26 produce items, from apricots to watermelons, can be sold no matter what their shape, size or sheen, while another 10, including apples and tomatoes, still have to be graded but can be sold misshapen for cooking. Yet that message seems to be filtering down very slowly to many retailers.
Perhaps they are in no mood to change things. Supermarket bosses have total control over what gets from the fields to the checkouts, and specifications for farmers and growers are precise and unforgiving. The Retail Consortium, which speaks for supermarkets, tells me they seek to provide only what we, the consumers, are prepared to buy.
Too many lumps and bumps
To me, perfection in greengrocery seems a chicken-and-egg conundrum: is it something we shoppers have always demanded or is it something we have been led to expect? We can certainly be fickle; in organic produce a few lumps and bumps are OK, but supermarkets believe countless customers would turn away if mainstream veg looked like that.
More like this
Yet when I showed purple sprouting broccoli that failed to meet aesthetic demands (stems too thick or too thin, a bit misshapen) to a group of shoppers, without exception they said they would prefer them because they looked more natural. As Sarah Pettitt, who heads the National Farmers’ Union’s horticultural committee, asserts: “We must get rid of the idea that food comes out of the ground looking perfect; what is really important is whether it has been grown with care and tastes good.”
Some produce, which would previously have got the thumbs down from supermarkets, is now making its way through their doors, but into the economy ranges. And while many tonnes of healthy fruit and veg are still condemned for purely cosmetic reasons, there is increasing concern in the UK over food security. Will our nation be able to feed itself in years to come if we can’t get enough imports, because of the demands of a booming world population and the effects of climate change?
Our farmers are being urged to increase production – but will they have much of an incentive if a disturbing percentage of their crop continues to be rejected?
The government recently announced a supermarket ombudsman to help protect farmers and suppliers from any abuses of power. One result of this could well be that more of what this country grows is actually eaten.

Answer: Avocado's are from Mexico and Guatemala, but they grow well in the warm winter areas of Southern California. Established trees are hardy to about 24F degrees. Your little trees won't survive the winter outdoors on Whidbey Island. Bring them indoors for the winter and put them in a bright spot. Take them outdoors again in the spring. In a few years, when the trees mature a little more, you can try planting them outdoors in a protected area. If they have a chance to grow and become established, they might live through an occasional harsh Pacific Northwest winter.

As Sandi’s Garden enters its seventh year as one of the original SHIM satellite community gardens, she is in need of a new coordinator. BHCC has been very supportive of this mission project—supplying funding to start and sustain the garden, providing plants and seeds, helping deliver our bounty to SHIM’s Food Pantry, and signing up for a week of watering. For the past six years, I have been the coordinator and contact point for Sandi’s Garden. I find I am no longer able to continue in this capacity. If this mission project is to continue, a volunteer or a team of volunteers will need to step up to work together as the new coordinator(s).
The coordinator is the contact person between BHCC and SHIM. In addition, he or she (or they) will manage spring and fall prep/clean up, planting the rotating crops, harvesting, and delivery to SHIM on alternating Mondays and Tuesdays throughout the growing season. It is a fair amount of work for one person to take on. If a team of members could be formed, the load would be much lighter.
If this ministry appeals to you, either individually or as a team, please contact me at email@example.com or see me before or after worship to learn more. It has been a rewarding mission project, but it’s time for me to pass it on. Blessings, Steve Boisvert

GHE Flora Coco Series Tri-Pack 500ml
This Tri-Pack combines Coco Coir nutrient and a flushing solution, that guarantees ultimate performance in coco.
This Tri Pack contains:
Grow and Bloom: As with most of our nutrients you use both FloraCoco Grow and Bloom throughout the lifecycle of your plants; you simply change the ratio between the two as your plants' progress: there is no second set of bottles to buy when you go from Grow to Bloom.
Flora Kleen: The unique, high-performance rinse and substrate conditioner. Specifically developed to dissolve mineral salts, FloraKleen® releases nutrient bonds between minerals and substrate and allows you to rinse excess residue.


I have to pay for my greediness now. All the plants had to be brought in inside-the weather is getting too cold.
And suddenly I realize-no more space. It's almost ugly. Bet not yet, not yet. I think I'll play tetris with the pots for a couple of weeks-looking for the optimal combination of beauty and space
And inevitably some of the plants will have to go... Just it's so difficult to decide-which ones!


A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of electric power usage that equals 1,000 watts. (A watt is equal to 1 joule per second.)
While even the most powerful LED grow light is unlikely to reach to wattage of 1 kW, kilowatts are an important measurement for designing the grow lighting system as a whole. The combined wattage of multiple grow lights in a single system adds up quickly. And to understand the demands of your grow light system, you also need to calculate kilowatt hours. Not only do these calculations help you determine your energy costs, but they also allow you to confirm that the utility company can meet the demand of your grow operation.

Ever noticed your indoor plants looking a bit lackluster? It might not be your green thumb to blame—it could be your grow lights. Just like the batteries in your smoke detector, grow light bulbs need regular check-ins to ensure they’re giving your plants the love they need.
Understanding when to switch out those bulbs isn’t just about keeping your plants happy; it’s also about efficiency. Old bulbs can suck up more energy while providing less light, hitting your wallet and your plants’ growth. Let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of optimal grow light maintenance to keep your indoor garden thriving.
Why is Regular Maintenance Important for Grow Light Bulbs?
When you’re eager to give your indoor plants the best shot at thriving, regular maintenance of your grow light bulbs isn’t just important—it’s crucial. Over time, bulbs can lose their intensity. Without the proper light spectrum and strength, your green buddies won’t photosynthesize effectively. And you know what that means? Lackluster growth and potentially wilted aspirations.
Think of it this way: if your diet slowly lost nutrients, you’d start feeling less than stellar, right? Plants are similar—they need consistent, high-quality light to stay healthy. By checking your bulbs regularly, you’re ensuring your plants get the nourishing light they need for photosynthesis.
Energy efficiency is another compelling reason to stay on top of maintenance. Old, worn-out bulbs are not only less effective but also more power-hungry. It’s like leaving a window open while your heating is on—you’re simply throwing money away on wasted energy.
Here are some quick facts to consider:
|Can happen within 6-12 months of usage
|Rises as bulb’s efficacy diminishes
|Regular replacement can save money in the long run
Don’t let the decrease in light quality catch you off guard. Create a routine—you wouldn’t skip an oil change for your car, would you? The same goes for your grow lights. Check lumen output every few months. Keep an eye out for any subtle changes in your plants—they’re your best indicators that something might be amiss.
Remember, maintaining optimal light conditions is a dynamic process. The technology in lighting advances rapidly, and occasionally upgrading to the latest models can bring surprising benefits to your home garden venture. Embracing these updates can lead to stronger plants, better yields, and even nicer-looking leaves. So why not keep that grow light shining effectively and efficiently? Your plants, and your wallet, will thank you.
Signs that it’s Time to Change Your Grow Light Bulbs
As a bulb wears out, one of the first signs you’ll notice is diminished brightness. A light that once bathed your plants in brilliant luminescence may now emit a lackluster glow that’s hard to miss. Your indoor oasis relies on a consistent level of brightness for photosynthesis; when that’s compromised, so is the health of your plants.
Pay attention to subtle changes in light color. Healthy bulbs emit a consistent spectrum ideal for plant growth, but with time, you might observe an alarming shift. Whether it’s a turn to a cooler hue that warns of a bulb closer to the end of its lifecycle or an odd color flickering, these anomalies are strong indicators that a bulb needs replacing.
Reduced Plant Growth
Keep a keen eye on your green friends. If you’re noticing slower growth rates or a lack of flourishing that was once routine, this could be a silent plea for fresh lighting. Just as you’d perk up with a dose of sunlight, your plants crave the full spectrum only new bulbs can reliably deliver.
Energy Bills Creep Up
It’s not just about the light; it’s about efficiency. Older bulbs sap more power. If you see a spike in your energy bills without a clear reason why it could very well be your grow lights pulling more weight than they should, inefficiently converting electricity into light.
Remember, your indoor garden’s success heavily relies on the quality of light. By staying vigilant and acting promptly at these telltale signs, you ensure that your plants get the support they need to thrive. Keep your passion for home DIY projects and lighting expertise alive by consistently reassessing your setup and keeping your green thumb evergreen.
Factors that Affect the Lifespan of Grow Light Bulbs
« Is F Rating Good for Light Bulbs? Unveiling the Truth about Color Accuracy
What Kind of Light Bulbs Are Yellow? Discover Cozy Lighting Secrets »
You might wonder why two seemingly identical grow light bulbs don’t last the same amount of time. Several factors can impact the life expectancy of your grow light bulbs. Being aware of these can help you manage your indoor garden more efficiently.
Type of Bulb
The kind of bulb you choose for your garden dramatically affects how often you’ll be making replacements.
- Fluorescent bulbs typically have a longer lifespan and are energy-efficient.
- High-Intensity Discharge (HID) bulbs, such as Metal Halide or High-Pressure Sodium, offer intense light but may not last as long as fluorescents.
- Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are known for their long life and minimal heat output.
How you use your grow lights plays a pivotal role:
- Turning bulbs on and off frequently can shorten their lifespan.
- Running bulbs for extensive periods without a break increases wear and tear.
Quality of Bulb
Investing in high-quality bulbs might seem costly upfront but can save you money in the long run due to their longer life and better performance.
The environment where the bulbs are used matters. Too much humidity or fluctuating temperatures can be detrimental.
- High humidity levels might lead to condensation and bulb damage.
- Temperature extremes stress the bulbs, potentially reducing their life.
Regular cleaning to remove dust and debris ensures maximum light output and efficiency.
Keeping these factors in mind, you’ll be better equipped to estimate the lifespan of your grow light bulbs. Remember, ensuring your plants have the optimal light they need is paramount—don’t let a dimming bulb be the weak link in your garden’s success.
How Often Should You Change Grow Light Bulbs?
When you’re nurturing your indoor garden, it’s vital to keep tabs on the heartbeat of your green sanctuary: the grow lights. But just how often should you be swapping out these illuminating companions to keep your plant pals thriving?
It’s not just about time; the signs that it’s time for a change are often written in the leaves of your plants. If you notice your plants starting to lag behind in growth or display signs of poor health, this could be a signal that your bulbs are losing their vigor.
For fluorescent bulbs, the typical replacement schedule falls around every 6 to 12 months. While they might not burn out, they do lose their intensity, and that can sneak up on you quicker than a weed in your flower bed. LEDs, on the other hand, have a sturdier lifespan. They can last an impressive 2 to 5 years, but keep your eyes peeled for dimming, which is usually their way of saying they’re ready to retire.
Metal halide and high-pressure sodium bulbs fall into their own rhythm. You’ll want to think about changing metal halides every 6 to 8 months, while high-pressure sodium bulbs can stretch up to 12 to 18 months. However, don’t get too caught up in the numbers; remember, your plants will often cast the deciding vote.
Know Your Bulbs and Your Garden
Here’s a handy chart to help you stay on track:
|Every 6-12 Months
|Every 2-5 Years
|Every 6-8 Months
|Every 12-18 Months
Don’t just mark your calendar blindly. Consider your usage patterns and observe plant response. If you’re only using your grow lights for partial days or in rotation, this timeline could extend. Moreover, high-quality bulbs might just outshine their expected end date, so invest in quality whenever you can.
Tips for Extending the Lifespan of Your Grow Light Bulbs
Being savvy about your grow light setup can make a significant difference in how often you’re climbing up to change those bulbs.
Avoid Frequent On and Off Cycles
Grow lights do best when not subjected to the stress of constant on-off cycles. Switching your lights on and off multiple times a day can actually shorten their lifespan. It’s usually best to keep a consistent light schedule, not just for the health of your plants, but also to extend the life of the bulbs.
Regulate Temperature Around the Bulbs
Heat is a major enemy of grow light longevity. Always ensure your grow lights are operating in a cool, well-ventilated space. If your grow room feels like a sauna, it’s time to rethink your cooling strategy. An appropriate temperature and good airflow can prevent overheating and possibly extend the life of your bulbs.
Clean Your Bulbs Regularly
Dust and debris can accumulate on your grow light bulbs, reducing their efficiency and potentially shortening their lifespan. Give them a gentle wipe-down with a dry, soft cloth when they’re cool to touch. A clean bulb is a happy bulb—and it will shine brighter for your indoor garden.
Use a Reliable Timer
Investing in a good quality timer can save you a lot of hassle and help maintain that crucial consistent lighting schedule. By automating when your lights turn on and off, you reduce the risk of unnecessary wear and tear.
Handle with Care
Just like any other piece of delicate equipment, handling your grow light bulbs with care is essential. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and removal. This ensures you’re not compromising the bulb’s integrity with rough handling.
Each of these strategies can contribute to a longer life for your grow light bulbs, meaning fewer replacements and more time for you to enjoy the rewards of your indoor garden projects. Remember, the longevity of your bulbs is not just about saving time, but also about efficiency and the well-being of your plants. Keep up the diligent care, and you might be surprised at how infrequently you need to change those bulbs, after all.
You’ve got the know-how to make those grow light bulbs last, ensuring your indoor garden thrives. Remember, it’s all about the care you give. Keep those bulbs clean, avoid the temptation to flick them on and off, and let a trusty timer take the wheel. With these simple habits, you’ll see not just your plants, but your wallet benefit from bulbs that stick around longer. Happy gardening!

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) --The wet winter and healthy snowpack had many valley farmers hoping they would receive a decent water supply this year.
But west-side growers who rely on federal water won't get much. Last year they received zero allocation due to drought conditions, but on Friday word came that they will get just 5 percent.
Despite an above average rainy season, farmers on the Valley's west side won't get much relief from the US Bureau of Reclamation. Their initial Federal Water Allotment of 5 percent of normal was not well-received.
"I don't know that there are words that describe my reaction," ag commissioner Les Wright said. "It's just plain despicable."
Many people who live in western Fresno County rely on the work provided by agriculture, so a 5 percent allocation came as a big disappointment.
"What's going to happen to happen to all the jobs and all the people out in Firebaugh, Mendota, in Huron, Coalinga?" farmer Shaun Ramirez of Firebaugh wondered. "These are communities that have been producing better yields and more food than any other place in the nation."
This year we've seen flood releases from Shasta and Folsom dams in northern California because of all the snow.
Most of that water, though, doesn't make it to San Luis Reservoir and growers in the Westlands Water District.
"What's happening here in the Central Valley is all because of laws and regulations that have completely strangled the ability to move water through the delta," said Johnny Amaral with the water district.
Frustrated farmers hoped for a higher allotment because of this an El Nino year.
"The bigger question mark becomes are we even around for the long term at this point," Fresno County Farm Bureau CEO Ryan Jacobsen said. "Here we are on a closer to average year and we're looking at a 5 percent allocation. We can't survive on that."
Farmers who rely on federal water from Friant Dam fared slightly better. But growers said a 30 percent allocation would not be enough to recharge their groundwater supply.
Farmers who rely on federal water from Friant Dam fared slightly better, but growers say a 30 percent allocation is not enough to recharge their groundwater supply.


Let me guess you just purchased your new home. The inside is great, cozy and clean. But the home builder left the backyard for you to finish. You give little thought on the initial days after moving in. But then you notice the dirt and sand tracks on your new carpet and floors. So you decide to take immediate action.
Proper soil preparation is the single most important step in making sure your new sod takes root and produces beautiful grass. Sodding is like painting; the hard part is in the prep and the finished product is only as good as the preparation. By taking the time to make sure your soil is properly tilled, fertilized and prepared, you are creating a firm foundation for a lawn that will last a lifetime. You’ll have a lawn that is dense and full, recovers quickly from wear, uses less water and fertilizer and needs less maintenance. When you add up the time and money you save in the long run, proper soil preparation is well worth the time and effort before you lay your new sod.
Our Sod Removal & installation Services covers Pitt Meadows, Delta, Port Coquitlam, Langley, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam, Surrey, Burnaby, Tsawwassen, Richmond, and Vancouver in Canada.

Greek treats galore
at food festival
By THOMAS PHILLIPS
The Greek Orthodox Society welcomed Welling-
tonians to their community centre in Mt Victoria
last Saturday for the annual Greek food festival.
Hundreds of visitors enjoyed the sunshine while
browsing through stalls selling Greek cuisine and
enjoying traditional Greek music and dancing.
The event organiser and president of the Greek
Orthodox Community of Wellington, Stella Bares,
was pleased to treat visitors to a uniquely Greek
form of hospitality.
We call it filoxenia -- a friendliness towards
strangers,'' she said.
The festival event was staffed by local Greek
Volunteer George Neonakis said the turnout
was the best he had seen in 15 years.
The event is all about reminding people about
He felt this was important during a time where
the rest of the world was so preoccupied with
Greece's debt crisis.
This is real Greece.''

Olive trees are known for their exceptional longevity, and under optimal conditions, they can live for several centuries. The exact lifespan of an olive tree can vary depending on factors such as the cultivar, growing conditions, and care it receives.
Centennial olive trees, as the name suggests, are olive trees that have reached an age of 100 years or more. These ancient trees are highly treasured for their historical significance and unique characteristics. The majority of centennial olive trees can be found in regions with a long history of olive cultivation, such as the Mediterranean basin. Countries like Italy, Greece, Spain, and Portugal are known for their abundant centennial olive groves.
Millennial olive trees are even more exceptional, as they have reached an age of 1,000 years or more. These ancient specimens are incredibly rare and are considered living treasures. Some of the oldest millennial olive trees in the world can be found in countries like Italy and Greece. For example, the olive tree of Vouves in Crete, Greece, is estimated to be around 3,000 to 4,000 years old, making it one of the oldest known olive trees in existence.
It’s worth noting that the exact locations of centennial and millennial olive trees may vary, and there might be individual specimens scattered in different regions. However, the Mediterranean region, with its long-standing tradition of olive cultivation, is known for harboring a significant number of these ancient trees.

Yay, spring! I believe it has finally sprung here in southeast Iowa. These daffodils are next to the house on the east side of the foundation, so they're always the first daffs to bloom -- but they're fully blooming.
We've been helped along by some 70- and 80-degree days, and by the two inches of rain we finally got. We're still suffering from last summer's drought, so this rain was very welcome.
|I didn't put my rain gauge back up after winter until we'd gotten a bit of|
rain already, so I believe we did actually get a full two inches.
The rain has helped green up our grass, after what seemed like forever. There's something truly restful about a lush, green lawn after winter's grays and browns.
|We replaced this lawn with new sod several years ago, so it always|
turns green faster than our large lawns outside the fence. Almost time
to start mowing again.
|Rite of Spring: potting up annuals. These cool-season stocks are so|
beautiful and fragrant. They'll bloom most of the time until frost if
I cut them back periodically and move them into part shade during
the hottest months.
|These yellow pansies are just above the daffodils on the east side of|
the house, outside my kitchen windows. They're just babies still, but
they'll fill in soon and flower until November.

The Scoular Company announced that it has acquired a grain-handling facility in Atlanta, NE from an independent producer. Terms of the transaction were not announced.
Mark Mossman, who oversees Scoular’s Nebraska facilities, says the company plans to use the 770,000 bushel steel upright facility in Atlanta to receive local wheat, soybeans and corn. “The Atlanta location will be operated as a satellite to our larger grain-handling operation in Holdrege. We’ve leased this facility two of the past three years, and we’re glad to have it as a permanent part of our operation. It puts us closer to some of our farmer customers, so we can be there when they need us, especially at harvest.”
Scoular plans to improve the facility by constructing a new scale and modifying the site’s traffic pattern to get trucks in and out more easily. The slated improvements are expected to be complete by mid-June, ahead of the area’s wheat harvest.


Moscow wants Ukraine peace talks to focus on creating a "new world order," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during a visit to Turkey on Friday, reported The Moscow Times.
"Any negotiation needs to be based on taking into account Russian interests, Russian concerns. It should be about the principles on which the new world order will be based," said Lavrov.
He was in Turkey, which has retained ties with both Moscow and Kyiv, to hold talks with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu, reported The Moscow Times.
Lavrov added that Russia rejects a "unipolar world order led by 'one hegemon'."
Russia has long said it was leading a struggle against the United State's dominance over the international stage, and argues the Ukraine offensive is part of that fight.
The Kremlin this week said it had no choice but to continue its more than year-long offensive in Ukraine, seeing no diplomatic solution.
The top Russian diplomat also threatened to abandon a landmark grain deal, which Turkey helped broker, if obstacles to Russian exports remain, reported The Moscow Times.
Last July, Turkey, the UN, Russia, and Ukraine signed an agreement in Istanbul to resume grain exports from three Ukrainian Black Sea ports after they were paused due to Russia's war on Ukraine, which had threatened a world food crisis.
The beginning of the offensive saw rising fears of a global food crisis as Russia and Ukraine are major exporters of grain and other agricultural products.
Lavrov however said Russia may pull out of the landmark deal that allowed vital exports to leave blocked ports in the Black Sea.
"If there is no further progress in removing barriers to the export of Russian fertilisers and grain, we will think about whether this deal is necessary," Lavrov said.
On the eve of the visit, Moscow said it extended the agreement "as a gesture of goodwill for another 60 days".
Russia has repeatedly threatened to abandon the agreement that has allowed the export of more than 25 million tons of grain, reported The Moscow Times.
Moscow has been complaining that its side of the agreement, promising the right to export fertiliser free from Western sanctions, is not respected.

Kivubo is one of several stations under an umbrella association that currently serves around 3,000 farmers, small-holder farms who on average are growing 200 coffee shrubs cultivated land adjacent to their homes. Like most of the region, Bourbon is the dominant varietal grown. - Coffee Shrub
