The idea for an international trading platform for farmers, animal owners, and feed producers was born as early as 2010. The project was started by a farming pioneer and an enthusiast with a small involvement of engineering, entrepreneurship, and a bit of legal expertise.
Our ambition is to promote a sustainable mindset among horse and stable owners with the smallest possible carbon footprint. Our stable bedding made from flax straw is cultivated under simple conditions, where water, sunlight, and a touch of fertilization do the heavy lifting.
Photo: Flax field
Flax straw sequesters carbon dioxide throughout its lifetime, contributing to reducing the amount of carbon dioxide and thereby slowing down the greenhouse effect and, ultimately, climate change. By using flax bedding in your stable, you help reduce the use of fossil products like peat and wood-based materials such as wood shavings.
Flax requires minimal fertilization, and the fertilization produced in your stable is typically sufficient. To enable a recycling system, we also buy back our customers’ horse manure, which is then processed and sold as soil conditioner to crop growers. The proceeds from this are used by our customers to purchase new bedding. This way, you can become more or less self-sufficient in flax bedding.

If you want to learn how your stable can become self-sufficient in stable bedding or if you want to buy or sell forage, do not hesitate to contact one of our customer service representatives, and we will assist you!
On our auction platform, you can also buy or sell forage in a secure manner.
Photo: High quality forage is an essential nutrition base for your horse
We handle all the quality checks if you are a buyer and take care of delivery and payment if you are a seller.
Are you looking for a specific type of forage tailored to your horse’s needs? Feel free to reach out to us, and we’ll assist you!

The barbecue season isn’t as far away as you may think and TruGreen Lawn Care wants to make sure their customers in the Knoxville area are able to properly prep their garden ready. They want to make sure people have the lawn of their dreams, be that one that is perfect for barbecuing or one that is perfect for baseball. So how do you achieve that?
TruGreen Lawn Care’s Top Lawn Tips
The only way you can have a good looking lawn is by looking after it properly, which means doing a bit more than watering it regularly. When people sign up for a service with TruGreen, they will have their lawns watered, but they also receive weed control, fertilizer, core aeration, mowing, and more. The company will come out and test pH levels, ensuring nutrients are added to lower and raise that level so that it is as close to 7 as possible. And they will also reseed any patches that have started to die off.
There are many reasons why you should consider signing up with a professional company like TruGreen instead of doing it yourself, one of those is the huge amount of work that they will do for you, as shown. But there is also an environmental factor to consider. If you truly want to look after your lawn, you need to only use 100% organic products and they can be quite hard to find. While some products will advertise as being organic, or natural, not all of them are being quite truthful with that. Organic materials are hugely important.
Another reason why some people prefer working with a company like TruGreen, is because they can get creative tips on their lawn as well. For instance:
- A reel mower can stripes on a lawn.
- A lawn roller can create baseball diamonds, particularly after using a reel mower.
Of course, getting creative with a lawn is fun, it is not essential to its care and maintenance. However, it is your outdoor space to enjoy and if you want to have a soccer field, baseball field, or separate areas for the kids and the adults, then you need to get a little bit creative. With the right equipment, you can do this yourself but it is even easier to ask a company like TruGreen to do it for you.
Last but not least, they will help you deal with pests and weeds. Those are the most harmful things to any lawn and not handling them properly will cause them to spread like wildfire. Something as innocent looking as a daisy, which many people don’t even see as a weed, can quickly turn into a lawn that is covered in white flowers and clovers, uncomfortable to sit on and not as beautiful as a lawn either. Pests such as moles, fungi, and diseases are even worse, since they can really kill the entire lawn off. They must be addressed professionally, not in the least so you don’t have to resort to heavy chemicals.

Emissions From EU Farms Haven’t Dropped in Decade, Watchdog Says
(Bloomberg) -- Greenhouse-gas emissions from European Union farms haven’t declined since 2010, even as the government earmarked more than 100 billion euros ($119 billion) toward climate-change efforts since 2014, according to a report from the EU’s financial watchdog.
The European Commission set a quarter of the Common Agricultural Policy budget from 2014 to 2020 toward climate-change goals, but the policy doesn’t provide enough incentives for those practices, the European Court of Auditors said in an accompanying statement. The report comes as the EU negotiates to set a new CAP that extends through 2027, with about 387 billion euros in funding.
The current policy includes promotion of animal products, which have seen steady consumption, it said. Emissions from livestock account for about half of agriculture’s footprint, while those from chemical fertilizer and manure increased from 2010 and 2018. The CAP also pays farmers for “climate-unfriendly practices” like sowing drained peatlands, which accounts for an outsize proportion of the sector’s emissions.
“Although the greening scheme was supposed to enhance the environmental performance of the CAP, it did not incentivize farmers to adopt effective climate-friendly measures, and its impact on climate has been only marginal,” the auditors said in the statement.

Burlap grow bags?
gwinnett county, georgia, United States
As many of you on GOY know I am in need of cheap containers for all those seedlings. My question is can I use small burlap bags as upright containers. We have been ordering green coffee and roasting it ourselves for years and it comes in small 10 lb burlap (jute) bags. I now have quite a collection and was wondering if they would work as a one season container for plants, similar to the grow bags some of you have.

U.S. Drought Biggest Since 1956, Climate Agency Says. In its monthly climate report for June 2012 the National Climate Data Center says that 55% of the contiguous United States was in a state of moderate to extreme short-term drought, the largest area in a drought state since 1956. The Lower 48 states, as a whole, experienced the 10th driest June on record, with much of the Mountain West in severe drought conditions. Temperatures were 2.0°F above the 20th century average for the month of June and contributed to the warmest first half of the year, as well as warmest 12-month period the nation has experienced since record keeping began in 1895. In addition to extensive wildfires, drought conditions have caused major harm to crop yields across the Midwest which threaten to impact global food supplies and increase prices for consumers.

I carefully set my 1st and 2nd early potatoes in egg boxes to chit and can't remember how I organised them. I can't tell one from the other. I had intended to put most in the ground and maybe do a couple of pots but now I don't know what to do. I understand spacing, time to maturity, etc, are different for each type. Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you.
Unless you have a large amount of potatoes I wouldn't panic. They will mature within a few weeks of each other and the ones that flower first should be the firsts. Hope this helps.
I'm not sure there is any difference in spacing between 1st and 2nd earlies so I wouldn't worry about that. And the 1st earlies should be ready before the 2nd earlies that's all ther is to it. You may even find that they come up with two distinct flower colours although some have very insignificant flowers.
Treat all as "one and a half" earlies and you won't be far out!
The RHS gives the following planting to lifting times:
Earlies - 100 - 110 days
Second early - 110 - 120 days
Maincrop - 120 - 125 days.
Hi, Barbara, as potatoes are frost tender it would depend on where you live to some extent. So I would say mid to late April, depending where you live.....of course, do take account of the prevailing weather.
If you're prepared to take a bit of a frost risk, I'd say get 'em in the ground as soon as it's not so cold you can't hold your hand on it. Plenty of compost and the first grass cuttings are good for them, as you probably know.
To protect against frost you could try strewing straw, newspaper or something similar over the emerging leaves in the evening before frost is threatened. Or fleece.
Good luck. I've planted one lot - about three weeks back but no sign of them yet - and keep on meaning to get the others in. This afternoon! DO IT!


Wheat prices take another step backwards Monday
Grain prices were lightly mixed to start the week, with most contracts failing to move more than 0.5% in either direction today. Additional reports of fieldwork delays in Brazil kept corn and soybean prices in the green. But wheat contracts slid moderately lower today on some technical selling as traders squared positions ahead of Tuesday morning’s World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report from USDA. (Click here for an exclusive preview of tomorrow’s report.)
Wetter conditions are returning to the Corn Belt later this week, with as much as 1” to 1.5” anticipated for parts of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana between Tuesday and Friday, per NOAA’s latest 72-hour cumulative precipitation map. The agency’s 8-to-14-day outlook predicts seasonally cool weather for most of the U.S. between March 15 and March 21, meantime, with drier-than-normal conditions returning to the Midwest and Plains next week.
On Wall St., the Dow climbed 561 points to 32,057 – a new record high – after the Senate approved a coronavirus stimulus package, boosting investor confidence. President Biden is almost certain to sign the $1.9 trillion bill into law after the House approves it later this week. Energy futures stumbled, in contrast, with crude oil dropping 1.5% lower this afternoon to hover around $65 per barrel. Gasoline dropped 1%, with diesel down around 1.75%. The U.S. Dollar firmed moderately.
On Friday, commodity funds were net buyers of all major grain contracts, including corn (+32,500), soybeans (+14,500), soymeal (+1,500), soyoil (+6,000) and CBOT wheat (+3,500).
Corn prices settled slightly higher this afternoon after some light technical buying supported by reports of a slower-than normal planting pace for Brazil’s second corn crop. March futures closed up 3.5 cents to $5.6550, while May futures added 1.5 cents to $5.47.
Corn basis bids were mostly steady across the Midwest to start the week but did tilt 2 cents higher at an Illinois river terminal today.
Corn export inspections reached 60.8 million bushels last week, which failed to match the prior week’s total of 80.6 million bushels but still made its way to the higher end of trade estimates, which ranged between 47.2 million and 70.9 million bushels. China was the top destination, with 13.7 million bushels. Cumulative totals for the 2020/21 marketing year remain far ahead of last year’s pace, with 1.087 billion bushels.
European Union corn imports in 2020/21 are down substantially year-over-year after reaching 430.3 million bushels through March 7, according to the latest data from the European Commission.
Brazil’s second corn crop is only 54% planted, versus progress of 80% at this time last year, according to the AgRural consultancy. If rainy weather persists, further delays may be likely.
Grains are enjoying the highest pre-planting price opportunities in years. What does that mean for your plans later this spring? “These prices will incentivize you, as well as your neighbor, to try and produce as many bushels as you can, pulling more marginal acres into production,” notes Brady Huck with Advance Trading. “What gets planted on these ‘fringe’ acres could come down to insurance guarantees. It is important you are defending your planting decisions by managing the price gap between your insured coverage and the current market.” Huck shares some additional thoughts in the latest Ag Marketing IQ blog – click here to learn more.
Preliminary volume estimates were for 318,611 contracts, trending above Friday’s final count of 288,635.
Soybean prices firmed slightly after a somewhat choppy session on Monday as traders squared positions ahead of Tuesday morning’s WASDE report. News of additional harvest delays in Brazil lent additional support. March futures added 3.5 cents to $14.3775, with May futures up 4.75 cents to $14.3475.
Soybean basis bids eased 2 cents lower at an Iowa river terminal Monday while holding steady elsewhere across the central U.S. today.
Soybean export inspections saw week-over-week reductions of 41%, falling to 21.6 million bushels. That was near the middle of trade estimates, however, which ranged between 14.7 million and 29.4 million bushels. China was again the No. 1 destination, with 7.8 million bushels. Cumulative totals for the 2020/21 marketing year still have a commanding lead over last year’s pace, with 1.932 billion bushels.
European Union soybean imports for the 2020/21 marketing year are up slightly year-over-year, reaching 365.2 million bushels through March 7. EU canola imports are also up from a year ago, but soymeal imports are trending 6% below last year’s pace.
Brazilian consultancy AgRural reports that the country’s soybean harvest has reached 35% completion, versus 49% at the same time a year ago. High humidity in the No. 1 production state of Mato Grosso has created some quality problems. “In addition, the large amount of soy leaving fields with high humidity has caused lines of trucks at warehouses because the standardization of the batches has been consuming more time due to excess damp,” according to AgRural.
Pakistan has purchased 21.8 million bushels of soybeans for animal feed usage, likely sourced from Brazil and/or the United States. The grain is for shipment beginning in February 2022. “Crush profit margins have come down but buyers in Pakistan are willing to book forward to ensure that they get the soybeans,” a trader told Reuters.
Preliminary volume estimates were for 177,715 contracts, inching slightly ahead of Friday’s final count of 174,234.
Wheat prices suffered a moderate setback Monday on a round of technical selling after traders shrugged off a mostly positive set of export inspection data this morning. Prices face a generally uphill battle in the short term, with ample domestic supplies and fierce overseas competition still a concern. May Chicago SRW futures fell 6 cents to $6.47, May Kansas City HRW futures dropped 4.5 cents to $6.2175, and May MGEX spring wheat futures lost 3.5 cents to $6.4175.
Wheat export inspections rebounded from the prior week’s lackluster tally of 12.5 million bushels to a more respectable total of 17.7 million bushels. That was on the upper end of trade estimates, which ranged between 9.2 million and 18.4 million bushels. China led all destinations, with 4.8 million bushels. Cumulative totals for the 2020/21 marketing year are now at 683.1 million bushels, still trending slightly behind last year’s pace.
European Union soft wheat exports for the 2020/21 marketing year have reached 669.8 million bushels through March 7, which is trending 19% below last year’s pace so far. EU barley exports are also down slightly year-over-year.
Pakistan issued another international tender to purchase 11.0 million bushels of wheat from optional origins for shipment in five consignments between April and August. The country passed on all offers in a similar tender last week, with prices regarded as too high.
Preliminary volume estimates were for 109,456 CBOT contracts, tracking moderately higher than Friday’s final count of 77,893.

The white grape comes from South America ( Argentina ) and belongs to the group of Criollas (see the history in detail there). Synonyms are Chichera, Loca Blanca, Palet and Torrontés, Despite seemingly indicative synonyms or morphological She may not share similarities with the varieties Moscatel Amarillo. TorrontÃ © Riojano or Torrontés Sanjuanino be confused. As of last 2017 DNA analysis it comes from a presumably natural cross between Muscat d'Alexandrie x unknown partner. It is a pure female grape, She produces white wines with subtle nutmeg, The variety is in Argentina in the provinces Mendoza and Rio Negro grown. The acreage in 2010 was 713 hectares (Kym Anderson ).

"My first order"
Sandra T on 4/25/2013 3:20:33 PM
Comment: This was my first order from GrowJoy, and I'll be ordering from them again. The Bougainvillea arrived quickly and in excellent condition, for what I feel was a fair price. Weather conditions prevented planting for a couple of days but the plant remained healthy. Bougainvillea plants are very sensitive to transplanting, but this one has been in the ground for a week and shows no signs of stress.

Col del Mondo, meaning “Hill of the World”, was established in 2001 by three winemaker friends with over 30 years of experience in viticulture – Antonio and Vincenzo Mazzocchetti and Francesco Polastri – who aimed to produce outstanding wines from their best vineyards, while also bringing awareness to the wine reputation of Abruzzo through extensive research of the land and soil type. They named the estate after the steep hill covered in vines.
The vineyards are located in the region of Montepulciano DOC – on the hills of Collecorvino and Catignano in the Pescara province and Atri in the Teramo province at 250 m to 300 m above sea level with south/southwest exposures. During the Pliocene era, the region was completely submerged undersea, and, overtime, rivers brought silt, clay and limestone soils to the land. Today, this area is covered with gentle hills of vineyards, olive trees, woods and fields spanning from the rugged Apennines mountain range in the west to the Adriatic Sea in the east.
|APPELLATION(S)||Cerasuolo d'Abruzzo DOC, Colline Pescaresi IGT, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC , Trebbiano d'Abruzzo DOC|
|ANNUAL PRODUCTION||10,000 cs|
(SUSTAINABLE, ORGANIC, BIODYNAMIC)
The 15 ha estate focuses on Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, Trebbiano and Pecorino grape varieties. The soil mainly consists of limestone mixed with calcareous elements and becomes more morainic with smaller pebbles at the foot of the hill and in the valley. Due to a keen focus on quality over quantity, production is 50% below the law restriction in Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. The close proximity to the Adriatic Sea (~ 20 km) brings in a Mediterranean influence with cool, ocean breezes and calcareous soils that are rich in sea elements. The balance of summer months never peaking too high in temperature during the day and significant temperature drops at night results in the fresh, fruity aromas of the finished wines.
Winemaker Fabrizio Mazzocchetti, son of one of the three founders, has been sole owner since 2013. He studied Viticulture and Enology at the University in Firenze and worked in a number of other wineries around Italy before taking on responsibility at Col del Mondo. The grapes are all hand-harvested and stainless steel fermented.


Benefits of Using Grafting Machine
Grafting is a horticultural technique used to join two different plants together to create a new hybrid plant with desirable characteristics. The process involves making precise cuts on both the rootstock and scion, which are then joined together to form a union. While grafting can be done manually with a grafting knife, it can be time-consuming and require a lot of skill. Fortunately, there is a solution: the grafting machine.
What is grafting machine?
A grafting machine is a handheld device that makes precise cuts on both the rootstock and scion. The machine is designed to create a perfect fit between the two plants, which is essential for the graft union to form properly. There are different types of grafting machines available on the market, each with their own features and benefits.
Main benefits of grafting machine
One of the main benefits of using a grafting machine is speed. With a grafting machine, you can make precise cuts in a fraction of the time it would take with a grafting knife. This is particularly important for professional horticulturists who need to graft large quantities of plants.
Another benefit of using a grafting machine is precision. A grafting machine ensures that the cuts are consistent and accurate, making it easier for the plants to form a strong union. This precision also reduces the risk of damage to the plants, which can occur when using a grafting knife.
Using a grafting machine can also reduce the risk of disease transmission. When grafting manually with a knife, there is a risk of transferring diseases from one plant to another. This risk is minimized with a grafting machine because the machine's cutting blades are sterilized between each use.
When choosing a grafting machine, it's important to consider the type of grafting you will be doing. There are two main types of grafting: cleft grafting and whip and tongue grafting. While some grafting machines can do both types of grafting, others are designed for specific types.
In addition to the grafting machine itself, there are a few other tools and accessories you may need, such as replacement blades, sterilizing solution, and grafting tape.
In conclusion, a grafting machine is a valuable tool for any horticulturist or gardener looking to graft plants quickly and accurately. With the right machine and accessories, you can produce healthy and beautiful plants with desirable characteristics. While a grafting machine may be an investment, it can save you time and effort in the long run, and help you achieve better results in your grafting projects.

“We can create a more sustainable, cleaner and safer world by making wiser energy choices.” - Robert Alan Silverstein
There looms a big question with the sudden uprising of LED lighting technology- can it translate to better more economical lighting for horticulture. The short answer is “yes.“ However, the more drawn-out explanation stands, “not right now.” There have been so many LED breakthroughs in the last five to ten years that most non-industry consumers think that LED technology is the answer for all things lighting, and some things non-lighting– one of the biggest industries being the food industry. Food is so important, and it should be so abundant, but there are too many mouths to feed, and frankly never enough money or power to be had (tangent). With rising food prices and a limited area to farm, governments and private companies everywhere have turned to indoor or greenhouse growing options for producing food in abundance year round. These options provide better control over environmental factors and pest/disease problems by controlling almost all factors of growth, including the most important, light energy.
Light is critical to a plants success because it is the primary source for the plants’ metabolism energy– a direct role in how well the plant grows, eventually leading to a high or low harvest index. The harvest index is the bottom line for crop farmers. In lieu of sunlight, farmers need artificial lighting, and light deprivation techniques to grow certain plant varieties. A proper lamp is needed for so many reasons, and efficiency seems to be on everyone’s mind.
HID or High Intensity Discharge lamps such as High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halides, are reaching a peak in efficiency. They emit an incredible amount of light in the appropriate spectra, but the cost is high electricity. This is where LEDs step into the picture, given only one or two steps for now. LED technology is rapidly improving and becoming more efficient. The amount of electrical energy needed to convert into light energy is becoming less and less. This translates into more light for less cost. On top of the efficiency, there are spectral benefits as well, including the possibility of engineering the most efficient lighting spectrum to grow plants, without wasting energy on color wavelengths that are not necessary to critical plant processes. The down side to LED lighting for horticultural application is the size of the diodes and coverage they offer. To effectively cover a large area such as a greenhouse, there needs to be an array of LEDs. Because LEDs are a point-source light, they are only really powerful in large quantities, with each diode emitting at the correct angle. Point-source lighting means they offer uni-directional illumination, where a traditional HID lamp effectively emits 360 degrees, and all from a single source. In this case, LED lights are better suited for visual illumination such as LED Bike Lights, LED Headlamps, LED Flashlights, or Off Road LED Lights. This type of lighting makes for great illumination effect, but is still lacking in the area of crop growth.
The first indoor and greenhouse plants grown under artificial light weren’t the best quality, and traditional growers probably criticized the early lighting setups like today’s HID growers criticize LED’s. We’re currently witnessing the beginning of a revolution in lighting that’s as significant as the one that originally allowed horticulture to move indoors.
When LEDs reach a point where they are emitting 320 or more lumens per watt, they will be considered for mass crop growth. At that point the energy needed from a single point-source light will begin to rival that of the HID systems now in use. Solid State Lighting (LEDs) is an excellent option for an energy saving-Green lighting market, but until there is a jump in efficiency, they most likely will not be a viable option for the Goliath food industry.


It looks like oxalis to me. If it begins to give bright yellow flowers
on a tallish stem, it definitely is. It will pretty much disappear by
May or June and then come back quadruple next winter. Good luck getting
rid of it. I've been trying for two years, making limited headway.
It's almost impossible to clear out without destroying everything else
growing near it.
Paul in San Francisco
Looks like Tea weed to me, hit it with a little Roundup while the St
Augustine is dormant.
This stuff shouldnt stay around very long if your St Augustine is very
healthy as SA will normaly choke out just about anything. Healthy SA will
usually take out sand spurs and crabgrass.
Your weeds don't seem to ahve any grass around them.......or is the
grass dormant? We have St. Aug. in Florida,
and the weed looks like sorrel. Here is a link:
Generally, broadleaf herbicides will take care of it very quickly, but
you have to get the grass in good, actively
growning condition before you apply them. We rehabbed or condo lawn,
and it surprised the neighbors to see
a healthy, green lawn again. We used liquid herbicide with hose-end
sprayer. Always after fertillizing a couple
of weeks previous and when the weather isn't too hot. You can get by
with very little herbicide use if you water,
fertillize and mow properly. Good luck.

At one time or another, every gardener has experienced the frustration of having damage caused by Japanese Beetles. With its shiny copper color and brilliant emerald green head, these damaging insects are anything but a welcome site. There are no guaranteed ways to eliminate these insects, but you can take steps to minimize their presence.
Japanese beetles made their first known appearance in the United States in New Jersey in 1916. It is widely assumed that their actual origin in the United States was a result of beetles hiding in a shipment of Japanese Iris. With no natural predators, perfect weather conditions and a limitless supply of irrigated turf, the beetle population exploded by the 1920’s.
Japanese Beetles spend most of their life cycle underground. First as an egg, then a larvae, then as a pupa before emerging as an adult beetle. Reaching up to an ½ inch in size and a life cycle of 35-50 days, they may be small but can wreak havoc in their short time above ground. Rose buds, leafs and fruit producing trees are a favorite target of beetles but they can be found on just about any leafy plant or flower. It is uncommon to spot a single beetle feeding on your plants. That is because mature beetles emit a pheromone when they’re eating. The females will fly to an area of turf grass and lay an average of three eggs just a few inches below the surface. They repeat this process every twenty-four hours. Once the eggs are laid and hatch, the next life-cycle begins.
Not only do beetles cause visible damage on plants, your grass can also be the victim of beetles during their larvae stage. Larvae, also known as grubs, can be found chewing on the roots of your grass just a few inches below the surface. This typically results in brown spots throughout your lawn as well as an increase in mole population. Moles consider grubs a delicacy.
Prevention Goes A Long Way
By applying grub control to your lawn you can disrupt the life cycle of beetles. Also by minimizing how often you water your lawn during the dry spells can help since females seek wet turf to lay their eggs. You can also apply a milky spore dust to your lawn. This is an ingested bacteria that only damages Japanese beetle grubs and larvae. It contains a bacteria that will kill grubs but is safe to use around people and animals.
Japanese Beetle traps are also a great, natural way to control beetles. They release a pheromone that beetles find irresistible, therefore drawing the beetles to the trap. It is recommended that the trap be placed away from tender vegetation as it can attract beetles from a large area. Be prepared to change the trap’s bag frequently during beetle’s feeding season. You can also head outdoors with a pair of gardener gloves and a bucket of water. Simply knock off any beetles you see into the bucket and cover for a few days. If using chemical applications to control beetles, be sure to thoroughly read the directions before use.

Growing plants in the hanging baskets can be challenging for both plants and gardeners. However, you can achieve breathtaking flower compositions just by choosing the right plants, a suitable potting mix and a practical hanging basket.
With a clever recipe for the hanging baskets, only in a few steps, we can extend the gardening season a little bit longer. Please keep in mind that the autumn basket will only last until the first frost. Then we will repot the plants and bring them indoors for the winter.
Below you will find a few simple steps that will help to create a beautiful flower basket. So, let‘s start!
- Find a hanging basket.
- Fill it with good-quality potting soil.
- Add yellow pansies and radiant marigolds to give the arrangement bright bursts of color.
- Between the flowers, add a dose of purple, red or violet.
- Use green foliage or provide the basket with edible elements as thyme, or oregano. Mixed flowers and foliage make interesting fillers for baskets.
- To refine the basket, use some decor elements.
That‘s it. Enjoy the basket. Enjoy the autumn.

Yukon inventor opens the door to year-round growing
'We're getting some good solid plant growth here,' says inventor
The Yukon Research Centre is growing plants through the winter in a project that could revolutionize the availability of fresh food in the north.
The "Agridome" is the brainchild of project manager Glenn Scott with Yukon College's Cold Climate Innovation.
"Unfortunately we didn't have a terribly cold winter here in the Yukon. I was probably the only guy sitting around praying for negative 40 because I wanted to see exactly what the dome would do," says Scott.
"Right now it's certainly in a very, very big experimentation phase but the unit definitely works, we're getting some good, solid plant growth here."
"The less space that I have to use, the less money that will have to be spent on actually heating that structure."
Scott says domes are the most energy efficient structure by virtue of their surface-area-to-volume ratio.The opaque structure is super-insulated and lined with plastic sheeting to reflect the energy-efficient lighting inside.
Vegetables and herbs grow in neat vertical rows, getting their nutrients from a spray which is absorbed by soil-less "rockwool" around the plant roots.
The system, called vertical aeroponics, means 32 square feet can grow upwards of 600 plants. This winter, Scott successfully experimented with conventional plants, including tomatoes, peppers, sweet peas and herbs.
"On the couple of nights when it actually did go down to -35C, with only a standard space heater consuming 1,500 watts, I was still able to maintain a temperature of 15 degrees in here," he says.
"That was a very clear indicator that yes — this structure is entirely appropriate for these kinds of extreme environments."
Scott hopes this prototype will eventually be used in communities throughout the Yukon, providing cheap and fresh vegetables, using a minimum of money and energy.
The Yukon Research Centre is funding the Agridome project, with money from the Yukon and federal governments.
Stephen Mooney, director of Cold Climate Innovation, says they are always looking for bright ideas like this one.
"Any Yukoner can come through our doors, meet with our team, and sit down and discuss the ideas. And we get all types of ideas, it doesn't just have to be greenhousing — we're open," says Mooney.


A word or warning! It seems that the 'Alium leaf miner' is now present on most of the cities allotment sites. This pest was only first reported n the UK in 2002 but since then has spread rapidy and now seems to be everywhere. This time of the year are when it's effects are worst, especially on your overwintering alliums. If you spot it, it's proabably best to harvest your leeks and onions straight away, otherwise you risk losing the whole crop to rot.
"Fiona has alerted us to the fact that the Allium leaf miner is present on our site (Moulsecoomb Estate). She first spotted damage to her leeks on Sunday and we have since found that our leeks are affected too. I’m attaching one of her photos. As the name indicates, the pest attacks every member of the Allium family – leeks, onion, chives, shallot and garlic – and cause serious damage.
The adult fly lays her eggs in the leaves and the maggots tunnel into the crop and you will see lines of white spots on leaves, maggots themselves or brown pupae in the stems and bulbs. The initial damage is done by the maggots, but secondary fungal and bacterial infections set in and cause very bad rotting.
So inspect your crops now. You can eat the undamaged parts but don’t try to store the crop or leave it in the ground – you will probably lose the entire crop due to rot. And if some of the pupae drop into the soil, you won’t be able to grow alliums in that patch of ground next year.
Glyphosate / RoundUp
In the summer we were contacted by a plot holders who was upset that their neighbour had sprayed their entire plot with Glyphosate (RoundUp) and that the wind had blown it across onto her plot thereby killing some of her plants. It is of course not right that this should be used on a windy day as it may affect your neighbours, but should it be being used on our allotments anyway?
At the moment Glyphosate is allowed to be used on the cities allotment sites, but as you probably know, there have been a lot of worrying stories appearing in the press about how safe it actually is. In 2015 the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the World Health Organization's cancer agency, concluded that it was "probably carcinogenic to humans". However the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Monsanto who manufacture it continue to insist that glyphosate is safe when used carefully.
BHAF are here to represent plot holders views, so we'd like to know what you think about the issue.
Here is some coverage in the media you might want to read.
Councillors in Brighton and Hove are also worried about the use of Glyphosate. At a Brighton and Hove City Council meeting on the 24th March 2016 the Council voted unanimously to
1. Request the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee to request officers to use the opportunity of the end of the current weed spraying contract in April 2017 to end the use of Glyphosate in our city; and
2. To request that the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee gives consideration to trying non-chemical and mechanical alternatives during the testing period due to start in July this year...
However, despite wanting it's use banned by the Council on the streets and in the cities parks and gardens. no mention was made regarding it's use on allotment sites.
Recently Simon Powell who is the BHAF's ecology officer asked the allotment office if we should also consider a ban on using glyphosate on allotment sites, and to ban it's sale in the cities allotment shops. The Council suggested polling plot holders to find out their thoughts on the subject. So this is what we are now doing!
If you are interested please take part in this survey, so we can gauge plot holders opinions regarding the use of Glyphosate.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Legislature is close to adding $15 million to a low-interest loan program to help farmers who are grappling with crop losses associated with historic rainfall.
The bill won approval Thursday from the Senate, and the House was expected to quickly send it to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for her expected signature.
The legislation would appropriate $15 million into the Agricultural Disaster Loan Origination Program. Growers, processors and handlers can get a 1% interest rate on loans.
Republican Sen. Dan Lauwers of St. Clair County’s Brockway Township says the loans give farmers an option for bridging revenue losses.


Last week, 12.5% wheat prices in deep-sea Russian ports rose $6 to $343/mt. The market was supported by strong demand and earlier rally in global benchmarks.
During the first half of the week, the wheat market continued to move higher but reversed sharply in the second half.
Bulls were encouraged by news from Australia which NW regions have been too rainy (30-70 mm a week) during the wheat harvest.
However, currently, the models predict drier weather. As per local sources, wet weather had some impact on quality but not on quantity. The country is to harvest another bumper crop. USDA says 31.5 mmt vs record-high 33 mmt last year and 14.5 mmt in 2019. Local forecasters are even more optimistic. Official ABARES’ estimate is 32.6 mmt while private forecasters talk about 34-37 mmt.
Outside markets put a lot of pressure on prices.
The commodities markets were sharply down on concern about the new Covid-19 variant found in South Africa.
We believe some investors are closing their long positions and taking the profit after the long rally in wheat.
The wheat demand in Russia’s ports remains strong. 12.5% wheat bids in deep-sea ports increased to 17,800-18,000 rub/mt from 16,700-17,500 rub/mt a week ago, in shallow ports rose to 15,500-15,800 rub/mt from 15,200-15,700 rub/mt.
Traders’ margins remain high and a recent decrease in transshipment fees would help them further.
Global wheat S&D remains tight and perhaps we could see higher highs during the next weeks after the end of this correction. However, we feel that bears are becoming stronger and the seasonal peak could be close or perhaps behind us.

This premium quality rotor features a stainless steel shaft for longer life. Its extended throw distance up to 50 feet plus superior coverage uniformity make the 52SA gear drive rotor an ideal upgrade for large zones where greener, healthier grass is desired. It adjusts easily at the top with a flat blade screwdriver to ensure that you are watering only things that grow, not the house, sidewalk or driveway.
It installs on a standard ¾ in. riser for simple replacement of older rotors and provides a true 4 in. pop-up height to clear taller grass. Water lubricated, gear driven design provides long lasting dependability. Dual action, positive stop wiper seal protects internals from debris and, together with a heavy duty stainless steel spring, assures positive pop-up and retraction for water savings. Advanced Rain Curtain nozzle technology produces large water droplets that fall exactly where you want them, resisting windblown overspray. The nozzle “micro ramps” also direct a portion of the spray close to the head, eliminating dry brown spots that are common with other rotor brands. This superior coverage uniformity can help you reduce watering time on your rotor zone, saving money on water bills.

Emalahleni is a town in South Africa, has long been the backbone of the nation’s energy production, supplying 80% of its power through coal mining. However, as the world embarks on a journey towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future, the coal mining industry is facing inevitable decommissioning. As a farmer, I saw the implementation of aquaponics as a climate-smart solution to not only revitalize our town but also contribute to the global effort to combat climate change. Emalahleni’s greatest challenge is to diversify its economy and ensure a sustainable future for its residents. The community can get access to fresh healthy food from farm to fork, learn a new skill in climate smart agriculture, learn about energy saving techniques such as using solar and solar pumps We at House Harvest have the potential to become a model for other communities facing similar challenges.


The potatoes on the far left row have all been harvested.
We got one in the shape of a heart! It was so fun to dig for the potatoes, and they taste great! Like, really great....I had no idea it would be that big of a difference from a store-bought potato. I mean, it's just an old potato, right? Wrong! Fresh potatoes are soooooo much better! I honestly don't know how many pounds of potatoes we gathered, but I have a big burlap sack full, and we've been eating tons of potatoes from a milk crate.
Corn harvest for the freezer! Mmmm....I can already taste corn on the cob in December! We got probably 40 ears that first harvest.
And as you can see above, the squirrels have gotten the rest of it. It has been a daily, mostly losing battle to keep the squirrels out of the corn. Now I know why our neighbor planted 2 full rows for us. Because you lose about 1/2 of it.
So, this vine below is a mystery volunteer that sprang up on it's own around the corn. This picture is really not great because the vine is huge and goes on and on and on and has taken over the area.
Below is the "fruit" that is on the mystery vine. We are thinking maybe it is a gourd? What the heck can you do with a gourd???
Below is our 2nd brandywine tomato. It is clearly the ugliest tomato in the world. It has all those splits and the bottom is just as bad. I brought it in to ripen in the window because I thought it might get eaten by bugs. Will I still attempt to eat this, you ask? Of course! Just around the split parts ;)
All the green cherry tomatoes are *ahem* thanks to Ian. Need I say more? He has been very good about not picking things that aren't ripe in the garden, but these cherry tomatoes are on a plant in a container next to the house. So clearly, the same rules do not apply.
Ahhhh toddlers.....they are so literal!
The bottom of the ugliest tomato in the world.
Egg harvest! Sunday through Thursday, our harvest has been 18 eggs!!! You can see the bigger one below! When they first start laying, the eggs are smaller and gradually get bigger.
And they are delicious!
Below is our first watermelon and cantaloupe!
Cherokee Purple tomato...and oh, was this one sooooo good!
Another pic (for my dad). :)
And yes, just indulge me. I've been having daily tomato sandwiches for lunch.
Made this recipe for okra and tomatoes the other night and it was really good. I never knew until just a few days ago that you can take fresh okra and soak it in vinegar for 30 minutes and that will take the sliminess out of it! I thought the recipe turned out to be a delicious new way to eat okra! The only thing I did differently was to use fresh cherry tomatoes instead of canned tomatoes.
Green beans, carrots and okra!
The beans cooking southern style ;) with some bacon and cowpeas. Slow-cooked them for hours and they were fantastic.
So we've really been enjoying our harvest. There are still tomatoes, okra and green beans producing, as well as cantaloupe and watermelon. Oh, and orange bell peppers! We have about 6 pepper plants and they each have at least 10 peppers! Considering I only spent $35 in seeds, I have more than earned back that money in the peppers alone! Gardening is saving us soooooo much money!
