Weed Control Coir Pot Topper 16.5cm
The Weed Control Coir Pot Topper 16.5cm is a natural and attractive solution to your landscaping requirements. Coir Weed Mat is ideal for applications where moisture retention and weed suppression are important.
- Suit 180mm pot, greatly reducing weeding!
- As the mat breaks down it enriches the soil with organic material
- All natural COIR
The Coir Pot Topper is made using coconut husk fibres and bound with biodegradable natural latex forming a thick but lightweight matting. Coir Weedmat restricts the growth of weeds allowing the plant time to establish. The mat also protects the integrity of soil moisture by slowing evaporation.

You have the choice of leaving the mat exposed or alternatively covering it with decorative bark or mulch.
Coir Weedmat is an environmentally friendly product that is completely biodegradable and will eventually break down. Usage has shown that the mat will hold its shape and structure for at least 18 months, however, this will vary depending on environmental conditions. BONUS: As the mat breaks down it enriches the soil with organic material.
This Coir Weed Control Pot Topper measures 16.5cm (165mm) across
Height is approx 1cm

I hope doing January in February does not describe my season! Usually I am so anxious to get out and get dirty, but I’ve been hanging back a bit this year. FINALLY got things checked off of my list.
I did manage to get my onions started, even put up a video! They are doing what they do. Joy! What I am late on is moving them out to the green house. It isn’t horrible when onions stretch for the light of a window, I’m going to clip them off anyway. And it has been freezing the first couple of weeks of February. It will not be long before they stand up straight in the light of the green house.
Next on the list is Winter Sow. Pretty sure I missed that window. Instead I just started small trays of both curly and Italian leaf parsley. I also started a small tray of artichokes. My big, beautiful, three year old artichokes froze to the ground last season. Just in case it was more then just the tops, I started a new tray.
By this time of year I am usually looking for that first tiny radish or micro green for my bento. This year I am just introducing baby seed to soil.
There are scallions, spinach, mixed Asian greens, radishes and cilantro. C’mon spring!
I am ending with an older video on what to do with those onion plants once they are a little bigger then threads. By the way, I googled the nameless dandelion tool mentioned in the video. It is called a Fishtail Weeder. I find it useless for weeding. (I have a hand shovel with a “fishtail.” The curved blade provides leverage to lift up tap-roots) The video features leeks but leeks and onions are planted the same way. Hope you have some raisinettes on hand. This is too short for popping corn.
Next: It is already February 15 as I post this and I have started checking chores off of this list… but that is another post.
Now, get out and get muddy! …unless you have a greenhouse. February 15, 2017 in Everett: the few days of sun and warm weather disappear again. We are back to rain with occasional showers. 52/47 F, 100% chance of rain. If you need to go out, you WILL get wet. 10 hours, 17 minutes from sun up (7:14 AM) to sun down (5:32 PM) The Snow Moon is waning. Remember to pray for the farmers and families in the Sacramento Valley who may be loosing everything! Maybe we should all plant a bigger garden this year.


A greenhouse for everyone; Grandio Greenhouses are a perfect choice for both the hobby and professional gardener. The Grandio Greenhouses are engineered to perform in the harshest environments, from the heat and humidity of the South to the cold and winds of the North. Attractive, sturdy, reliable and low cost of ownership are just a few of the reasons why Grandio Greenhouses are popular with the gardener. Carefully designed, engineered, and built to last. Gardeners of all types will love the combination of strength, quality, features and especially the terrific value the Grandio Greenhouse offers.


From Staff Reports Cumberland Times-News
OAKLAND — Two Garrett County farmers who use heated high tunnels without burning fossil fuels will demonstrate their projects Saturday.
The demonstrations will begin at the Allen Lilly farm at 2207 King Wildesen Road at 10 a.m. Lunch will be provided at Harry Swartz’s farm at 4965 Gorman Road and the program will continue there at 1 p.m.
Allen and Kathy Lilly, owners of Ryan’s Glade Farm and Garden, have been producing fruits and vegetables for sale at the Mountain Fresh Farmers Market in Oakland for more than 10 years. They built their first high tunnel in 2006. In 2009, they received funding for their project titled Economical Climate Controls for Maximum Production in High Tunnel Vertical Growing Systems. It combines the use of wind power, high tunnels and vertical growing systems to produce strawberries from May through November.
Swartz retired from the University of Maryland after many years as a successful strawberry and raspberry plant breeder. In 2009, he partnered with University of Maryland Extension to construct a greenhouse that would use as little fossil fuel as possible.
The greenhouse was constructed with energy-efficient materials such as insulated concrete forms, twin poly carbonate and an insulated north wall. Solar water heating panels, typically used to heat swimming pools, were installed to heat water in a 1,000-gallon water tank attached to the greenhouse. The hot water is then circulated throughout the greenhouse using radiators as heat exchangers.
The entire system is controlled through computer monitoring connected to the Internet and records information live on the web. View a layout of the system and current conditions and charts at http://www.welserver.com/WEL0004/. The project is testing the feasibility of using solar water heating to possibly heat larger greenhouses or high tunnels.
These two systems will be demonstrated Saturday along with discussions with the farmers and University of Maryland Extension personnel on how the systems work. Call the Garrett County Extension Office at 301-334-6960 to register for the program.

Take Action to return Industrial Hemp Farming to U.S. Farmers!
We’re now closer than ever to returning hemp farming to America! Hemp research is now permitted in states where hemp farming is legal under state law thanks to Section 7606 of the 2014 Farm Bill. The Farm Bill which was signed into law by President Obama on February 7th of this year, defines industrial hemp as distinct and allows research by institutions of higher education or state departments of agriculture in states where hemp is legal. Please see Vote Hemp’s 2014 Farm Bill – Section 7606 page for guidance information for prospective researchers and state departments of agriculture.

Dow AgroSciences and Monsanto Company recently announced a new business agreement between the two companies that allows cross licensing of products and technologies. Both companies say the outcome for farmers will be more accessibility to new products and technology.
In the agreement, Dow receives a commercial license to certain Monsanto seed stock and biotechnology traits. It also receives royalty-bearing rights to create and license finished hybrids, which combine Roundup Ready Corn 2 technology with Dow’s Herculex I and Herculex Xtra technologies, to licensees of Monsanto’s Roundup Ready Corn 2.
The two companies also established nonexclusive cross licenses of certain technologies, including their Bt patents.
The two companies have agreed to settle outstanding legal disputes. Mycogen is withdrawing its appeal regarding the synthetic Bt patent, and Monsanto is withdrawing its appeal regarding the Cry1F gene.
“We’re pleased to have reached a settlement that will bring new product options to the market and have a long-lasting impact for our customers,” reports Jerome Peribere, president and CEO, Dow AgroSciences.

Using space wisely can help those who are gardening, in both small and large spaces, get the most abundance out of their area. This workshop will focus on using permaculture techniques for gardening as well as nontraditional designs such at trellising and container gardens.
You are invited to partake in the Garden Work Party following the workshop from 12:30 to 2. Give back to your community by helping with the garden and work alongside Master Naturalists and Master Gardeners.


The Rockingham Community Allotments are nestled in the quiet Falmouth Road, off of the New Kent Road. The allotments were built in 2011 with funding from Southwark council’s Cleaner Greener Safer fund. What was initially built as a few beds alongside a tool shed. Has progressed into eleven large allotment beds, a beautifully painted ex-shipping container to house tools and equipment for the site, a large thriving pond, three beehives, a wildlife meadow, compost heaps and a running water supply. The space is an intergenerational learning and sharing hub, attracting all members of the community to appreciate and join in with developing the allotments.
Raspberry bushes line the railings beside the entrance. The first of the allotment beds are on ground level with full accessibility, with the rest up on a wonderful mound, filled with vegetables, flowers and even a large cage – for one resident to bring down their turtle to feast on the weeds. The meadows shape the garden from the back with young apple, pear and plum trees weaved throughout. To the shadiest side, a new garden has begun to take shape with three Dickinson antarctica’s (soft tree ferns) being planted close together, with the spot soon to be carved into a kidney shape, to be planted with lots of low and mid-growing shade loving plants.
In the sun to the side of the container, is the majestic pond and beehives, teeming with life. You can see all sorts of insects, birds and frogs attracted to the space – with literally hundreds of tadpoles darting around the water. The border surrounding the wildlife is filled with a stunning planting scheme of aquatic and meadow plants. A lovely glasshouse has just begun to take shape in the site.
Rockingham is a private site, locked unless an allotment holder is present. But well worth contacting the gardens and making a visit down, it is a very special oasis in the city. There are hopes soon to extend the space and impending plans of restoring the swollen wood of a few of the raised beds.

Tantur October 2013 newsletter
Greetings from Tantur!
In the Holy Land, the October olive harvest season is the most-anticipated time of the year outside of any religious and national holiday. Anyone who has ever journeyed to our part of the world knows very well the importance of the olive tree to both Israeli and Palestinian cultural, national and even religious identity. For Palestinians, the oldest olive trees are known as Romana zeitun, or “Roman olive trees,” due to their millennia-long lifespan, and symbolize continuity with the land. For Israelis, the olive tree represents the hope and aspirations of the founding of the modern state of Israel. For Christian pilgrims, returning home with an olive wood cross or handicraft item is a rite of passage in their spiritual journey. At Tantur, the olives on our olive trees are at present being picked by local residents at the time of this writing; perhaps one day we will get around to bottling our own zeit for our guests and participants to bring home with them. For now, we are happy to report that our trees are healthy, and, thanks to God, bearing fruit.
May the theological work that we have been entrusted be so as well!

Certified Organic Liquid Supplement for Livestock
As consumers demand green options at the supermarket, the food production industry is seeing a natural progression towards natural ingredients.
With more and more producers asking us about organic supplementation options for their livestock, Beachport Liquid Minerals is proud to announce our new premium organic range!
What’s different about the new organic range?
There is ultimately very little difference between the new organic supplement range and the traditional BLM range that our customers know and love. As far as your animals are concerned, the product is exactly the same. However, we have altered the chelating process to use a chelating agent that satisfies the requirements to reach organic certification standard.
Only the very best standard and quality.
Our new organic range is NASAA accredited and USDA NOP compliant, with the same benefits and capabilities as the traditional range of BLM supplements.
The Organic White Cap and Organic Green Cap products in this new range are similarly formulated to the traditional White Cap and Green Cap, but are made with organic compliant, premium ingredients to aid in:
- Feed conversion of both dry and green feed.
- Healthier livestock.
- Improved weight gain and fertility.
- Trace element deficiencies.
- Lower stress levels.
- Change in diet.
- Easier, faster and calmer weaning.
- Intro and exit from feedlots.
Keep an eye out for the new Green Drum.
Our premium organic range is clearly labelled and 10L & 20L drums are in our new dark green drum. Organic White Cap is available in our new dark green 20L drums and also available in 200L and 1000L. The Organic Green Cap is available in 10L, 20L, 200L and 1000L.
The domestic and overseas market is experiencing a boom in demand for organic produce.
The biggest benefit of supplementing your livestock with certified organic supplements is being able to apply for organic certification while still experiencing the health benefits of high-quality supplementation products.
The overall trend is towards ‘clean and green’, here in Australia and overseas, especially in the Asian Rim and Indian markets. As the average disposable income increases in these regions, demand for better quality produce increases with the discerning consumer wanting better quality, healthier and natural options.
Our organic range is easy to use and cost-effective.
Of course, the benefit to our producers is that a premium product attracts a premium price. Historically, organic supplementation was a difficult and exclusive process only available to some producers. However, it’s slowly becoming more mainstream and accessible.
We are very excited to be launching these new products, now being the only liquid supplement on the market with organic certification giving organic producers an easy to use and very cost effective method of supplementing their livestock to increase production and help improve animal health.

Online Market Orders
The biggest change on the farm was last week when we had a massive spike in our online orders! We are now up to around 100 orders per week, when it used to be 12-15. We owe this all to the wonderful people who shared our post. The spring is our slowest time of year for income and we often struggle, but these extra orders have really helped and they’ve given us new opportunities for this summer’s growing season.
We are grateful for the orders but also for so many people shopping local. We love our customers and want them to be safe. Very few people come in contact with the produce or packaging from our farm before it gets to our customers. We know them all personally and we take all precautions that we can. This extra work load has been unexpected, but we are happy to do it to keep everyone fed and safe at home.
Because these orders were such a surprise, we have had to scramble to make sure we have enough inventory. We have always had trouble keeping up with the demand for beef as we are the only organic, grass fed beef farmer in New Brunswick. We found a supply from another farmer who grows beef naturally but isn't certified organic. We offer this so customers can choose what they want and the suppliers are clearly marked. Our onions and potatoes ran out quickly. Luckily, we have contact with other organic farmers and were able to buy extra vegetables from them to make sure our customers can get what they need. This also helped those farmers who ran into trouble selling their products when farmers markets shut down.
One of our goals this spring was to stay on schedule with our seeding, which we did very well. But, life does not always work on our schedule and this was interrupted last week when the orders came flooding in. We have been able to catch up since then and split our focus between preparing for the new season and shipping out orders.
I just have 12 more trays of celeriac to seed and I will be caught up! The tomatoes, peppers and onions are already growing well.
Every year we graft our beefsteak tomatoes. It is risky because we need a certain number and can only rely on a sharp knife and a good clip to hold them together. Last year we had many fatalities. It is a simple process to get the benefits of both kinds of tomatoes into one fruit. The end goal is to have a root system strong enough to support more fruit per plant. We grafted half of them today and will finish later this week when the rest grow a little bigger.
It’s hard to believe it’s this time already. Some of our plants have outgrown their seed trays and its time to transplant them into bigger pots. Later this week we will transplant the peppers so they can grow bigger and get ready to be planted into the ground when it is warm enough.
My job list varies from seeding, washing and packaging veggies, packing orders, posting pictures to social media, working on the online market, answering phones and sometimes chasing cows. One thing that is consistent is that it never gets boring and I have lots of stories. If there is anything you want to specifically hear about or have any great ideas for a blog, than message us on Facebook or comment on our posts! Thanks for reading and even though we are busy, we will try our best to keep writing and sharing what is happening around the farm. Stay safe!


I know that vegetables can be frozen. Which vegetables respond well to freezing? Which don't? Are there specific recommendations for what vegetables freeze well?
Lay them out in a single layer in a pan and freeze until they are solid and then transfer to a labelled freezer bag. I freeze fruits and veggies in my chest freezer because it is so much colder than the little freezer in the house. Speed is the key- the faster you can freeze them the less damage there will be.
When I garden I freeze a lot of peppers and okra that last for years without losing (too much) quality.
Root vegetables I don't bother to freeze unless they are cooked into something. Potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, etc. are so cheap and last so long not frozen that I don't bother.
Raw potatoes in particular are a nightmare when frozen. Gray and rubbery. Avoid at all costs. shudder
Leafy vegetables like lettuces will not be recognizable when frozen. Spinach is the only one that would be reasonable as it is so meaty- but, I'm sure you've seen frozen spinach, it isn't pretty.
I haven't experimented much with this, except in freezing leftovers - i.e. if I have extra shepherds pie, I will freeze it - therefore have frozen (cooked) carrots, onion, beans, mashed potato. As long as you properly heat the dish through again, it tastes almost as good as fresh from the oven.
If you are talking about freezing uncooked vegetables, I think you're probably ok there too - you can buy bags of frozen vegetables (e.g. peas, carrots, beans etc) from the supermarket. They're not as good as fresh but are still edible, especially as part of a larger dish.
If you are freezing because you have too much of something and you think it will go off, I would refer you to this website - Garden Guides - because you haven't mentioned which vegetables you are wanting to freeze, and there are different factors to be aware of for different vegetables.
Hope this helps.
My favorite thing to freeze is corn on the cob. If it's unshucked, you can just throw it in the freezer, as is, and it'll keep for a long time. Then take it out, let it thaw, and throw it on the grill (still with the shuck on), and pull off fresh-tasting steamed corn in 10 minutes or so to the wonderment of your peers.
Any veg that has a lot of water content are no good for freezer as the veg would get damaged by low temp. If veg has water content, the water will be iced. When you defrost the veg, you will lose water content and veg won't be good.
Therefore, the vegetables that are good for freezing are root type vegetable like carrot and parsnip. Corn also freezes well. Interestingly, some types of mushroom can also be frozen, but you have to experiment with them. Of course, Broccoli and cauliflower are also good to be frozen.


Improvements in high-throughput phenotyping technologies are rapidly expanding the scope and capacity of plant biology studies to measure growth traits. Nevertheless, the costs of commercial phenotyping equipment and infrastructure remain prohibitively expensive for wide-scale uptake, while academic solutions can require significant local expertise. Here a low-cost methodology for plant biologists to build their own phenotyping system for quantifying growth rates and phenotypic characteristics of Arabidopsis thaliana rosettes throughout the diel cycle is presented. The group constructed an image capture system consisting of a near infra-red (NIR, 940 nm) LED panel with a mounted Raspberry PI NoIR camera and developed a MatLab-based software module (iDIEL Plant) to characterise rosette expansion. The software was able to accurately segment and characterise multiple rosettes within an image, regardless of plant arrangement or genotype, and batch process image sets. To further validate the system, wild-type Arabidopsis plants (Col-0) and two mutant lines with reduced Rubisco contents, pale leaves and slow growth phenotypes (1a3b and 1a2b) were grown on a single plant tray. Plants were imaged from 9 to 24 days after germination every 20 minutes throughout the 24 hour light-dark growth cycle (i.e. the diel cycle). The resulting dataset provided a dynamic and uninterrupted characterisation of differences in rosette growth and expansion rates over time for the three lines tested. The methodology offers a straightforward solution for setting up automated, scalable and low-cost phenotyping facilities in a wide range of lab environments that could greatly increase the processing power and scalability of Arabidopsis soil growth experiments.

These photos are from Valerie Davidson who now has an allotment in Gillingham, Kent. Kent – ‘the garden of England’ Almost the perfect place to grow.
Today I have finished digging my Allotment. I had 3 allotments in the 90s but work called so had to give them up. Now I am retired and I got the allotment at the end of September. I am one of those funny people who like digging.
I have sent before and after photos. I have planted onions garlic and shallots, strawberries and rhubarb. I love to show so will be showing dahlias sweetpeas and vegetables. I had some wins back in the 90s
Good luck in the shows, Valerie!


Sylvaner ripens earlier than riesling. It can be harvested before destructive autumn weather hits. When not managed properly it can be very diluted and neutral. It's best as an old vine like it is in Bruno's vineyard.
Alsace in Northern France benefits from a micro- climate. Trapped between the Vosges mountains and the Black Forest, it has very little rain with hot summers. A perfect summer holiday spot.

The Faithfull Countryman Border Spade is the perfect choice when space is tight, typically between established plants in a garden border or vegetable patch. The small heads of these tools make them ideal for working in flower beds and for planting smaller shrubs or for someone who finds larger tools difficult to use because of the weight. The head is manufactured from heat-treated (hardened) carbon steel to provide both strength and durability. Powder-coated finish provides improved resistance to rust, scratches, humidity and alkaloids in the soil. Fitted with a double riveted, European Ash handle supplied from FSC® sustainable resources. These are then lacquered for protection against the weather and fitted with an ergonomic soft grip.


HPS lamps are the standard in the market. The lamps used by Gavita are characterized by their high level of efficiency and long light retention. A major benefit of HPS lamps is the heat radiated directly onto the crop, as this encourages growth, and depending on the crop, the formation of buds and fruit.
Gavita lamps are specially developed for a high-frequency ballast. The benefit of a high frequency is that the electric arc in the lamp isn’t extinguished in the interim, creating a constant and higher light output.
Double ended lamp
A double ended lamp sits on two sides in a fitting, so is always optimally positioned in the reflector. Double ended lamps are developed to negate the need for the return wire in the lamp, so 2-3% more light is produced compared to single ended lamps. The lamp is also much thinner, preventing light interception in the reflector.

I don't know what you guys put in it but it works. Thanks to Dixie Mix I have the greenest, thickest lawn in my whole neighborhood now. It started off as so-so and had some dead spots in it now it is just amazingly thick and green. I am enclosing some pictures from my front lawn. Thank You!


THE news that Australia has been slapped with a barley tariff by China comes hot on the heels of recent ban of four beef abattoirs in this country.
Australia has great character and we always find a work around (with) these things.Bob McCormack
While the news is a blow, one Riverina grower, Bob McCormack of "Lenton Park", Winchendonvale says the issue needs perspective at a ground level.
"Australia has great character and we always find a work around these things," he said in response to the barley tariffs.
Mr McCormack said we were right at the start of the winter cropping season and it was difficult to gauge just how much barley had been planted. He said barley wasn't being grown in the large proportions in southern NSW and the Riverina like areas such as the Liverpool Plains.
"We haven't actually got a crop yet and there are home consumption markets to consider as well," he said.
Mr McCormack encouraged Australian growers to explore other options rather than dwell on what can easily be interpreted as "bad news." "I actually don't think we have sown as much barley as we usually do ... and moving forward people will plant other crops," he said.
Meanwhile, GrainGrowers has released a statement saying the industry was deeply concerned about the dumping margin of 73.6 per cent and a subsidy margin of up to 6.9 per cent on all barley imported from Australia.
"These tariffs will disrupt and most likely halt exports by artificially increasing the price of Australian barley imported to China until the situation is resolved," the statement indicated. It is estimated the dispute could cost Australian grain industry and notably rural and regional economies at least $500 million per year.
For a number of years China has been Australia's largest barley export market.
China initiated anti-dumping and countervailing subsidy investigations regarding Australian barley exports in November and December 2018.
By way of explanation The World Trade Organisation (WTO) definition of dumping is when exports are sold at a price lower than the domestic market, and/or lower than production costs which results in 'injury' to the importing country's domestic production.

Dunn County grassfire burns more than 300 acres
DUNN COUNTY, N.D. (KFYR) - More than three hundred acres burned in Tuesday’s grassfire in Dunn County.
The Halliday fire chief says the grassfire just east of Dunn Center is out and contained.
Crews have been monitoring the area throughout the day for possible flare ups.
He says the cause is still under investigation, but Tuesday’s low humidity and wind didn’t help firefighters’ efforts. The chief says the danger is still there.
“The fire danger is still extremely high because the crop and the grass is all matured out and is done growing, and also with the humidity being as low as it is, there’s not much moisture in the air, so if something hot does hit, it takes off rather quickly,” said Halliday Fire Chief Trevor Hauck.
The landowner who did not want to be identified told us the fields were being used for calves to graze on.
She says she is thankful to the first responders, friends, and neighbors who helped put the fire out.

hybrid. This Asian-type eggplant produces long, dark, glossy purple fruits. Thanks to their thin skins, tender flesh, and few seeds, these eggplants are ideal for grilling and stir-fries. “Shikou” means “supreme” in Japanese, and it’s no wonder: This is a beautiful plant that adds as much to the landscape as it does to your meals. As plants become loaded with fruit, they may need staking.
Shikou is Japanese for "supreme," which perfectly describes this outstanding eggplant. It produces beautiful, tasty fruits with tender, glossy, dark purple skin and white flesh with very few seeds. Because of its tender skins, the 6-8 in. long and 1–1½ in. wide fruits require no peeling. Just slice and enjoy grilled, sautéed or in stir-fry. Growing 18-24 in. tall, the plants are very attractive, making them a good choice for a container or the edible landscape. For the best flavor, harvest these eggplants when the skin is still shiny. Plants may be set outdoors after night temperatures are above 55 degrees.

WOOSTER, Ohio — “Green is for life!” says the tagline for Ohio State University’s fifth annual Wooster Campus Scarlet, Gray and Green Fair, set for April 17 — during Earth Week — at the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center.
“Our goal is to educate people about the variety of environmentally friendly and sustainable products and research on the market today,” said OARDC’s Gwen Covert, head of the fair’s planning committee. “The green industry is evolving at an amazing rate, and our exhibitors are eager to share the latest products and research with the public.”
More than 60 exhibits will present information on biofuels, local foods, gardening, recycling, composting, wind energy, solar energy, organic farming, alternative vehicles, sustainable agriculture, green jobs and majors, and more.
Organizers expect at least 2,000 people to attend, which is how many came last year, Covert said.
Admission is free and open to the public. Activities are inside and outside OARDC’s Fisher Auditorium, 1680 Madison Ave., Wooster.
There will be hundreds of entries in the fair’s student competitions on display; music throughout the day by Mark Tillack of Brinkhaven, called “The Off-grid Minstrel”; a free one-stop recycling station for paper, cell phones, compact fluorescent lamps and more; and a keynote talk during the fair’s opening ceremony by scientist Paolo Gabrielli of Ohio State’s Byrd Polar Research Center in Columbus.
Outside exhibits will be under one large tent. Local food vendors will include Sue-min’s Chinese Gourmet of Wooster, Hartzler Family Dairy of Wooster and Mama Pearl’s Soul Food & BBQ of Orrville.
Participants can “learn about cutting-edge breakthroughs, enjoy some great food and appreciate the environmental awareness of today’s students,” Covert said. “We can all learn simple ways to incorporate ‘green’ into our everyday lives.”
For more information, call 330-263-3700 or visit the fair’s website, http://www.wcsen.org/wcsggf/.
Coordinating sponsors are Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences; the college’s research and outreach arms, OARDC and Ohio State University Extension, respectively; and the Wayne County Sustainable Energy Network.
Financial sponsors include the coordinating sponsors and about 20 area businesses and nonprofits.

Answer: If these are new plants, they may be suffering heat or moisture stress due to not yet being fully rooted. This could cause the blooms to fall early. (Water to keep the soil slightly moist like a wrung out sponge, keep them mulched. Established plants however are very drought tolerant.) There are also a few pest problems that could cause this such as thrips. You might want to check with your local county extension and see if they can help you diagnose the problem more specifically. If it is something that can be controlled, they will have the most up to date recommendations as to what to use and how/when is best to apply it. Good luck with your shrubs!

Sept. 5, 2007 (KABC-TV) (KABC) — You know that eating more produce and vegetables can help keep you fit. You can always find what you’re looking for if you search at the grocery store or if you go the Farmers Market. But wouldn’t it be great if you could get what you need without ever leaving home? Some local companies are making that happen.
Buying produce at the grocery store makes for easy one-stop shopping, but you can’t always guess freshness. The Farmers Market is fun, but not always convenient. So what’s the solution? How about produce delivered to your doorstep? There are about four produce delivery services in the Los Angeles area. One of them is Rick Segal’s L.O.V.E. Delivery.
“I am one of the smaller ones, but I’m the longest-running organic delivery service in Los Angeles,” said Segal.
Los Angeles Organic Vegetable Express (L.O.V.E.) is not the largest, but according to Segal one of the most accommodating.
“So you can pretty much put whatever you’d like into your boxes,” said Segal. “Whatever’s available.”
That could be two-thirds fruit, two-thirds veggie, all fruit, or all veggie — you decide by weekly e-mail for delivery the next week.
A small box feeds one-to-two people for a week for $28.50, while a large box should satisfy a family of four for $42.
Segal says his service is less expensive than organic grocers and farmers markets, unless you’re prone to haggling with the farmer near the end of market day.
Other economical options are community co-ops, or U-pick farms, where consumers go directly to the farm to pick and buy produce.
Both keep costs down, but may lack variety.
“But if you buy shares in one farm, and lettuce is producing that week, sometimes you walk home with a lot of lettuce that day,” said Segal.
Grocery stores deliver as well, but charge a service fee and don’t often offer the variety of organics of the produce-only services.
With about 1,200 programs nationwide and growing, many are drawn to the taste and quality of locally-grown food while enjoying saving time, energy, and the price of gas.

On October 2-4, I visited drought-affected Inverell in New South Wales. I was pleased to join the Hon David Littleproud MP and Barnaby Joyce, Federal Member for New England, in Inverell to listen to the community’s stories about the devastating impact the drought is having. We discussed how the Government can continue to help families and businesses through this challenging period.
The harshness of the drought hit home when we saw the dry paddocks when we met two farming families from Inverell. These families have been on the land for more than 100 years and have seen nothing like the devastation occurring now.

Slovenian, French Farm Ministers Call for Green Agriculture
Paris, 12 January - Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Dejan Zidan and his French counterpart Bruno Le Maire agreed in Paris on Wednesday that events such as the dioxin scare in Germany showed that the EU's future Common Agricultural Policy should focus on green agriculture.

The new multi-tasking TP800S Series Tool Bar from HFL Fabrication can side-dress corn, inter-seed cover crops in standing corn, strip-till and even plant small grains and soybeans. Much like a Swiss Army knife, operators can configure the tool in various forms to accomplish different tasks.
It comes standard with both front and rear 3-point hitch system allowing you to hook up both the front and the back of the machine. Whether it is a simple hitch for towing a wagon to a rear lift assist, all can be accomplished by just hooking up via the rear 3-point hitch system.
The rear tank mount can hold either a dry or liquid tank. This tank is an excellent way to transfer weight to the Tool Bar. The front hitch system can also carry a dry Valmar Tank. These options allow you to accomplish multiple tasks in one pass through the field.
Built tough to withstand rugged field conditions, the Tool Bar features a double frame and has versatile tooling options. The rear cart with hitch tow option makes it a pull-type, and a lift assist is available for use on 3-point hitch mounted toolbar. Models available from 10- to 40-feet wide.


ISLAMABAD: The Government of Pakistan has signed an agreement with the World Bank for IDA credit of SDR 15.8 million (equivalent to US $ 25 million) for the Balochistan Small Scale Irrigation Project. The agreement was signed by Mr. Junaid Iqbal Ch, Acting Secretary Economic Affairs Division on behalf of the Government of Pakistan, Mr. Ahmed Bakhsh Lehri, Additional Chief Secretary, Government of Balochistan on behalf of Government of Balochistan and Mr. Yousapha B. Crookes on behalf of the World Bank.
The Government of Pakistan will repay the credit in 35 years including 10 years of grace period. The credit is interest free, however service charges @ 0.75% per annum and commitment charges of 0.5% per annum on undisbursed balance will apply. Balochistan Small Scale Irrigation Project (BSSIP) will support efforts by the Government of Balochsitan to improve the management of scarce water resources in the Pishin Lora Basin.
Project activities are designed to recognize the importance of direct participation of water users and other stakeholders. Key indicators include: (i) increased surface water availability and reduced groundwater depletion; (ii) increased water productivity through a combination of engineering, management, and agricultural measures; and (iii) expanded local capacity and participation of farmers to implement similar schemes and formulate plans for sustainable water resources development and watershed management.
The project will focus in the Pishin Lora Basin in the northern part of Balochistan and it will have three components: (a) partial restoration of water storage capacity in the Bund Khushdil Khan (BKK); (b) development of small scale irrigation schemes in the Pishin Lora Basin; and (c) institutional strengthening and capacity building of the Irrigation and Power Department (IPD), water management institutions, and farmer and community organizations and further studies and preparation activities for the next phase. Improved watershed and rangeland management and on-farm water management, including introduction of high efficiency irrigation systems, will be integral components. -SANA


We live in an era of unprecedented technological advancement. While new Innovations and technologies are redefining agriculture development there is need of linking and leveraging innovations and make them work for the society at large. Perhaps insufficient attention is given to the fact that the capacity for innovation in agriculture is influenced not only by farmers' skills and resources, but also by the wider network of links and relationships in which farmers are embedded, which help ideas to diffuse and find new uses.
Further the issue of quality food production and its linkages with poverty is becoming more challenging as demand for food increases in national and international markets. In this context, to improve availability and access to food, agricultural innovations need efforts and convergence at local, national, regional and global level. So, it is necessary to strengthen North-South cooperation at one level and cooperation among private and public sectors at another level.
Hence, the purpose for organizing this event is to bring common understanding on the innovative initiatives / alternatives to meet the challenges of the agricultural development in term of inclusive and consistent growth.
* To deliberate and analyze hurdles in fostering public private partnership in innovations and investments.
* To share innovations in technologies and services to meet agriculture development.
* To seek common areas and priorities for collaboration to strengthen partnerships.
* To reach the consensus on planned actions to address sustainable developmental issues.
* To devise strategies & plans to achieve 8% growth in agriculture.
* Agro-Food and Processing Machineries & Equipments Companies.
* Agriculture Implements & Agri-Machinery Manufacturing Companies.
* Seeds, Fertilizers, Insecticides and Pesticides Companies.
* Agriculture, Horticulture, Floriculture Products Companies.

If you are trying to get rid of weeds in an area, and not just single weeds. one way is to wet the area and then put heavy duty clear plastic over it. Weight it down with rocks, bricks, or whatever.
Leave at least until everything turns brown; I think 3 – 4 months is best. The water with the sun burns the weeds; then keeping the plastic on prevents anything from sprouting up and should kill roots of the weeds.


For the past few years, we've sourced a handful of single-farmer lots from within the COMSA cooperative in Marcala, Honduras. COMSA also provides the coffee we use in our Funky Mamacita blend, French roast, and Gran's Blend. Currently we have four outstanding COMSA microlots rounding out our Apex Series, including a natural-process coffee from Eraldo Garcia, manager of quality control at COMSA's wet mill in Marcala.
Any way you accomplish it, cold brewing is an excellent way to enjoy your Higher Grounds coffee this summer.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - If you bought some bulbs, you might use this holiday week to get them in the ground. Every fall when I plant new bulbs I find old ones that need dividing - like daffodils that have grown a twin or tulips with baby bulblets attached!
Some people suggest dividing bulbs in the spring after they bloom so you can find them by the leaves. But in springtime, when the garden beds look so pretty, I have no desire to go digging around messing things up, do you?
Other gardeners divide them in September, but I can't imagine disturbing happy annuals to get to the bulbs either! It just seems so much easier to divide bulbs when you're already knee deep in the soil with a trowel in your hand.
So, late fall is when I find them, pry them apart, dig new holes and put them in. I've divided bulbs this way for years and they do just fine. Did some of them not bloom? I couldn't tell you, I don't do a bulb census, I just replant all the baby bulbs I find as winter is beginning, and enjoy whatever comes up in the spring.

We spent the whole of the weekend in the garden. A second round of peas has been planted. All the rows are ready for seeds to be sown. Cabbage and brocolli plants have been set and are surrounded by radishes of several varieties - Cherry Belle, French Breakfast and the intriguing Purple Plum. Lettuce has been planted along the garlic. Beets and carrots also went in. I've still got shallots to set (and I'm trying some from seed). The leeks are ready to be set. Our new apples, plum and peach have all gone in the ground. Busy. Busy. Busy.
I spent a good part of a very hot afternoon in the greenhouse potting up all the tomato and pepper plants. They'll be ready to plant in the garden in a couple of weeks. No need to rush them when they have room and a warm spot to grow. I've also got fennel, basil and a bunch of flowers started. It all looks like so much.
As soon as school is out, I'll be able to concentrate on things around here. Chef Boots wants me to grow things for him and then there's the new tailgate market a mile from our house at the community center/fire station. I'm very excited about that. We had a formation meeting last week and that is going to be a fun way to spend my Saturday mornings. Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to fit everything in the garden and read the "egg laws" and try to anticipate what will sell well and drink more coffee...
Keep your fingers crossed for the eggs in the incubator. Today is the day they should start hatching and many eager children are counting on me to bring baby chicks to life (You probably didn't realize I had that super power...). If it should fail, I do have 10 chicks in the brooder already. Do you think they would notice??? I mean, how would they know those weren't the eggs??? No, I wouldn't do that - I promise. I know all won't hatch, but by the laws of probability, some should hatch. This whole hatching and brooding thing is such a fragile process. And the little things are so, well, little; you just don't know what went wrong when something goes wrong. We did lose one of the goslings the day they arrived. When that happens I always lose confidence in my ability to raise the little guys. So seriously, keep fingers crossed until I post a picture of fluffy little chicks that aren't all yellow and all roosters (Anyone need a Salmon Faverolle rooster chick? I have ten...).

Potatoes are in the ground - Green Mountain, Russian Banana Fingerling, and All-Blue
Peas are coming up
Garlic is growing
Shallots are growing
Green Onions are coming up
Slicing Onion sets have been planted
Snow peas in the greenhouse are almost up to the roof!
We've been munching on radishes, lettuce and spinach from the greenhouse (so has the goose - I spoil her!)
The goats escaped on Sunday, but ran up to the car like a couple of labradors when we pulled in the driveway. They crawled under the eight foot fence that surrounds their pen. The breach has been stopped and they seem content (for the moment) to be back where they belong. Soon, they will have a nice little pasture to share with the poultry and our garden and flower beds will be safe.
The eggs in the school incubator project have 5 more days to go. Only 3 out of 24 didn't develop (we call those yolkers!) We are waiting to see how many hatch. The guinea eggs will have one extra week to go.
The ducklings and goslings should be arriving today or tomorrow. Keep on the lookout for overly cute pictures soon!
Oh, and there's more good news, but I'll have to wait. I'm being naughty and writing from my "prison", OOPS! I mean "office."

- Sweet Dakota Rose Watermelon (that's it up there)
- Sugar Baby Watermelon
- Lots of Tomatoes (I've listed those)
- Long Island Brussel Sprouts
- Cheddar Cauliflower
- Florence Fennel
- Sweet Basil
- Candytuft (a nice groundcover perennial)
In the garden:
The garlic is thriving and the peas are starting to poke up. This week the cabbage and broccoli starts will go in the garden. Now I've got to head off to work. I'm counting down the days until my contract ends - May 31. I feel a little like a graduating senior... Soon I'll have all summer to spend in the garden (and blog).

Marie goes from lap turkey to parrot...
Please ignore my pastiness. It's March and I've been under the weather for the last couple of weeks... Of course, while I've been sick and otherwise overwhelmed with work, discord has been brewing in the barnyard.
"That damn turkey gets all the attention!"
"We find it best just to ignore her, honking only encourages her..."
Actually no poultry feelings were hurt in the creating of this entry. We were all just enjoying a rather chilly, but sunny Sunday afternoon.

Crop Insurance: USDA-SRA
Bloomberg writer Alan Bjerga reported yesterday that, “Wells Fargo & Co., Ace Ltd. and other companies that provide crop insurance to farmers will receive $6 billion less in federal funding over 10 years under a proposal by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
“Payments for administrative costs subsidized by the government would be capped at $1.3 billion next year with the limit rising to $1.37 billion in 2015, according to the final draft of the USDA’s offer to companies. Insurers have 30 days to negotiate technical details before the plan is adopted, said Bill Murphy, head of the department’s Risk Management Agency.
“The plan, the result of negotiations that began in December, ensures ‘a fair and reasonable return’ for companies while reducing profits the USDA considers excessive, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told reporters today in Washington. ‘We have the framework for a stronger program.’”

@boffer wrote:Hi Jennifer,
Your confusion is understandable. The three types of corn you describe by height, are also known as short, mid, and long season corn varieties. I first heard of folks planting 4 to a square last summer in the old forum, and I was appalled! There's just no way, I thought! I have a favorite long season variety that I have grown for years, one per sf; I wasn't aware of the smaller varieties.
Here's the root structure of a tall, long season corn. You can see why I couldn't fathom the idea of more than one per square!
went fishing and found Boffers pictures.
IT is corn growing time again== thought I would bump the subject

I didn't think I was ready, but my garden neighbor is giving me some corn starts. I just can't say no to new babies that need a home. (He also gave me 5 big boy tomato plants yesterday!) I have a 5x5 empty bed that I began filling right away. It needs a lot more compost, but I think I can take care of that this week. There is so much good information on this board already, but what I want to know is has anyone tried Argent corn yet? How did it do for you? How tall did it get? The box is bigger than I would normally want, but the wood was free. This is a hybrd variety, so I believe I can get 4 per square. I don't know how many he is giving me, so I may get more. If I am not interested in saving seed, can I get other varieties? And I now have a place to put my pole beans! Do those go 1 per square or 1 per stalk? How many beans do I really need? Thanks all!

I've got 4 corn plants per square (sweet early variety) and they are going gangbusters. I planted peas around the perimeter, and they seem more than happy, and a few gourds/pumpkins to round out the three sisters. I have tassels on the corn and am concerned that they won't actually pollinate. Has anyone actually ever had good luck planting 4 per square?? Anything I can do to make sure it happens?

Hiya. Miserable day outside, until about 5pm when it brightened up a bit. I've spent most of my time indoors, with half an hour filling the brown wheelie bin with garden rubbish. Tidied the raised beds, and covered them over for the winter. I'm going to re think my veg growing for next year, there may be some changes. Sick of doing battle with the slugs.
I've been alternating between the weaving, and sewing the smaller picture today. More fabric strips added, still more needed. A long way to go on this so don't expect things to happen quickly.
I'm starting to yawn. I'll get off up the apples and pears. Goodnight.


Take a look at the beta version of dw.com. We're not done yet! Your opinion can help us make it better.
A growing population goes hand in hand with growing demand for food. In India, farmers are looking to ramp up production with new methods and new technologies. They're also forming cooperatives that help secure their own livelihoods.

The pumpkin plants are about 6 weeks old now and seem to be really happy. Not much drama with the pumpkin plants since Brian built Fort Knox around them. We are not sure when to expect an actually pumpkin on the plants? If anyone can give us a hint that would be great. William and I did noticed after the last rain we had (a little over a week ago) the plants really flourished. We will see what happens this weekend, we are suppose to have more rain.


The three-auger mixers with three vertical mixing augers are also equipped with the proven and patented extension concept with container embossing for maximum stability and flexibility. These adaptable large-scale fodder mixing wagons are perfectly suitable for large and still growing dairy farms.
● Usable mixing capacity of 28,5 m³ - 45,0 m³ ● Capacity expandable by 180 mm or 360 mm attachments ● All components have been designed for maximum capacity ● 140 - 320 cows per container filling
Why use a Verti-Mix........
1, Excellent mixing quality - because only cows getting optimum nutrition are healthier and deliver higher milk yields.
2, Low power requirement - reducing your diesel consumption.
3, Flexibility - the Verti-Mix can adapt to your farm requirements.
4, Reliability - cows need feeding 365 days a year!
5, Vario2 auger - speeds mixing time and so reduces labour and tractor time.

With poor production owing to bad weather and diversion of stock to other states, the price of onions is likely to increase by almost 50% this month, said wholesale traders.
From Rs 14 a kg in the wholesale market two weeks ago, the prices shot up to Rs 20-23 a kg on Thursday.
The retail market prices, too, have increased from Rs 20 to Rs 30 a kg. The prices are likely to go up to Rs30 and Rs40 a kg in the wholesale and retail market respectively in February.
Traders blamed the shortage of stock in the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) market in Vashi for the soaring prices. While nearly 125-150 vehicles carrying onions used to come to the market earlier, the number has now gone down to 90-100 vehicles.
