Logic Spring Tine HarrowEnquire about our Logic Spring Tin…
This is a harrow aimed at customers who are looking for a superior harrowing implement. It is far more efficient at removing moss and thatch from grass and has a stronger scarifying action. This makes it better at stimulating grass growth than a chain harrow as it allows more oxygen to get to grass-roots level. Spring tine harrows are also useful if you’re seeding a paddock: harrow thoroughly; sow the seed: roll the surface with a Ballast Roller to firm the seed into the soil.
The strong ‘tilling’ action means it can be used on arenas and all-weather gallops to dress the top surface and re-blend the components of a composite surface (such as sand/rubber chip).
- 2.0m working width
- 34 Genuine EinbockTM spring tines
- Inboard wheels allow easy manoeuvrability
- Manual raise/lower lever
- 3 position lever to adjust action

For three years, farmer Alan Hudson and his wife were the defendants in the pollution lawsuit filed by the Waterkeeper Alliance.
Hudson, who works his 100-year-old family farm in Berlin, said the impact on his family has been enormous and long-lasting.
"Most time in the morning, you get up and you know how to handle pretty much every situation thrown at you on the farm. Something like that, it's like they pull the rug out from right underneath you, because you don't know which way to turn," he said. ...

Well, someone must have done a rain dance for us because we received a steady rain on Friday! While one rain doesn't make up for a very dry early summer, it does help to perk up the vegetables. And it allowed us to take a two day break on irrigation. Now, we are back at irrigating.
This week will be the third week with many of the early summer vegetables, but we will start to see a number of new items in the next two weeks. On my field walk I noticed broccoli the size of plums and cabbage the size of grapefruit. And the zucchini and cucumbers are covered in their first fruits. So you can anticipate some of these vegetables in your shares shortly! As long as the heat doesn't slow them down, we should have peas for a couple more weeks and then it will be time for green and yellow beans.
We have noticed a larger than typical amount of unwanted insect pests on some of our crops this year. The summer and winter squash have been heavily hit by cucumber beetles and some varieties of our kale have been infested with aphids. To manage the cucumber beetles we are handpicking them as much as possible. And I hung sticky traps and lures throughout the beds this weekend in the hopes that this lessens their impact. To get rid of the aphids, we have sprayed with a soap and water solution and removed the row covers to improve air circulation.
While pests often come in cycles, it's difficult to know exactly why they are worse this year. I think a mild winter plays a role as well - the colder and longer the winter, the more the overwintering pests' numbers are decreased.
This week, kohlrabi is a choice item in your shares. Unfortunately our kohlrabi crop this year has been poor (I think the lack of rain is partly to blame) so we will not have many spring kohlrabi. We do hope to have a great crop of fall kohlrabi, however.
Kohlrabi is part of the brassica family and some people believe that kohlrabi are a hybridization between cabbage and turnips. And the flavour is somewhat reminiscent of these vegetables. In our kitchen, we almost always use kohlrabi raw; sliced in salads or as vegetable crudites, grated in wraps, or made into a slaw. We use the leaves just like cabbage or kale. There is no need to peel spring kohlrabi (whereas fall kohlrabi generally is best peeled). If you separate the leaves from the globe, the kohlrabi globes will store in the fridge for up to one month.
If you would like to try cooking your kohlrabi, below is a recipe for you. When it specifies 'pea vines' I would use the pea shoots provided in the shares. To make these gluten-free, I would try replacing the bread crumbs with either almond flour, quick oats, or cooked rice.
Kohlrabi and Pea Vine Patties
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp minced ginger
1 tbsp minced garlic or 3 tbsp garlic scapes
1 tbsp curry powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 cup packed chopped pea vines
3 medium kohlrabi, peeled and grated
2 tbsp flour
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup olive oil, coconut oil, or butter
Mix all ingredients except oil. Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Form mixture into small patties, squeezing out any excess moisture. Fry patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Makes 6 patties.

Why you should use a ground coverNot quite in the market for a fancy greenhouse foundation (at least, not yet)? You’ll need an easy and flexible way to pave over that open ground – that is, if you’re not direct planting or utilizing the soils in your structure.
by Adrian White
If you’re leaning more towards hydroponics, grow tables, container planting, nursery plant retail, or a starts house rather than open soil growing, a material ground cover or landscape fabric will get you taken care of – and only the highest quality will do.
Why ground cover?
Who wants to place their containers, tables, or growing benches on bumpy or uneven ground? That’s just the start – relying on landscape fabric is smarter for many more reasons.
- Even the playing field. Have a smooth, level greenhouse floor for cheap, making it easy to grow and hold your stock.
- Keep down weeds. Plants love your greenhouse, but weeds will love it more. Landscape fabric is one way to guarantee their prevention.
- Improve access. Cover earth both inside and outside for easy traffic, and easy access to accessories within and without.
- Separate soil mediums. Trying to keep sand separate from soil or gravel? No problem.
- Great aesthetics. Dress to impress – fabric makes it relatively easy to give your structure that finished touch, inside and out.

Join U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Migratory Bird Conservation Partnership at one of two free workshops in support of on-farm habitat creation through the Waterbird Habitat Enhancement Program (WHEP). WHEP is for farmers interested in adding bird-friendly farming practices on eligible farms in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. This conservation program is focused on, but is not limited to, several practices beneficial to birds and farmers:
Short-term flooding of fields in summer,
No-till, no-chop rice fields,
Post-harvest residue management of corn fields,
Winter flooding of corn fields with staggered flood-up,
Winter flooding of fields with staggered drawdown in February
WHEP is a voluntary program; interested growers must apply to their local NRCS office for this special habitat program. The first application deadline is Friday, February 20, 2015. Thereafter, applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through July.
WHO: Audubon California, Point Blue Conservation Science, The Nature Conservancy, Delta Protection Commission, Delta Conservancy, and NRCS
WHAT: Free workshops about on-farm habitat creation
WHEN: Monday February 9, 2015 at the Walnut Grove Presbyterian Church, 14120 Grand Ave, Walnut Grove, CA 95690
Friday, February 13, 2015 at the Isleton Community Center, 208 Jackson Blvd, Isleton, CA 95641
WHY: WHEP was first offered to producers in 2012 in the Sacramento Valley with a focus on rice; since that time, over 120,000 acres and 220 producers have enrolled in WHEP to implement practices that enhance their fields for migratory birds. This year, WHEP is expanding to the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to support additional crops.
The program is available in the following counties: Contra Costa, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Solano, Yolo, Butte, Sutter, Colusa, Glenn, Placer and Yuba. Interested parties should attend one of the free workshops or contact their local NRCS Service Center to learn more about the program and application process.

Let me preface with I am completely new to gardening and live in a townhouse so I have to use containers. Lots of the leaves of black dots on the underside, or get brown and rotten while other leaves are OK.
Too far away to see details.
Sweet basil is too disease prone. In contrast Asina basils (Thai, cinnamone) are tough. I have several kinds. Sweet basils are all sick but the others are doing just fine.
No more sweet basils for me next year.
Can't tell much from the photo, but it sounds like downy mildew. It spreads extremely easily, and thrives in humid conditions. I had it wipe out 8 sweet basil plants, it eventually infected my thai, cinnamon, and purple basils. I had limited success pruning any leaves showing any sign of infection, and keeping them as separate as possible. A few heat waves helped minimize it popping up on leaves again, but it's tough if not impossible to get rid of short of starting containers over.

- One-of-a-kind white berries
- Unique green foliage and canes
- Fruit is bigger than standard berries
- Ideal for jams, jellies, preserves, juicing, freezing
- Disease-resistant, self-pollinating plants
A breakthrough in blackberry production, this wonderful WHITE berry is the only one of its kind! White blooms cover the plant in late spring to early summer, making way for the creamy white, sweet fruit that grows on second-year canes. Unlike its traditional cousins, Polar Berry™ features green foliage and canes—a completely different look for blackberry plants—due to the lack of red coloring in the plant. Berries are larger than the standard wild blackberry, but are just as sweet and juicy. An excellent variety for jams, jellies and preserves, as well as juicing or freezing for later use. Ripe fruit can be frozen for 6-8 months. Exhibits good disease resistance and is self pollinating. Plant in full sun. Grows 4-6' tall with an equal spread. Zones 5-9.

Indian marriage season may push poultry prices
The quiet period in the poultry market seems to have ended along with the Indian Navaratras festival as the prices of poultry products are anticipated to increase by as much as 15% helped by the onset of the marriage season.
The wholesale chicken prices are looking bright after the 'Navatartas' as it has climbed to Rs 60-62 (app. € 0.88) a kg and may go up further to Rs 70 (€1.00) a kg in another 15 days' time, Poultry Federation of India spokesperson Rickey Thaper said.
During the 'Navaratras' the wholesale prices were ruling at Rs 54 (€ 0.78) a kg, he said, adding that the farmers were holding back their stocks in anticipation of good rates during the marriage and winter season demand.
He noted that this rise in prices will benefit farmers and help them reap handsome profits as the poultry feed prices have declined considerably.
“The soybean meal prices are currently quoted at Rs 17,000 (€ 245) per tonne ex-plant, which was Rs 19,000 (€ 273) a tonnes a month earlier,” Thaper said.

Getting up on the first Monday after the time change, even after sleeping in a bit, is pretty painful. Nothing lots of tea can’t fix!
Knitting a pair of Saartje’s Bootees (Rav link) because I needed a break from all of my long-term projects and these are a really quick knit. Finished pictures coming tomorrow or Wednesday!
I’m still deciding what I’m planting in my garden this year… it’s only 6′ by 5′, so there isn’t a whole lot of space. So far, perusing the seed catalogue, I’m thinking cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, peas, beans, cucumbers, butternut squash, zucchini, iceberg lettuce, and spinach. Spinach and zucchini would be new ones for this year. Any advice?
I hope you are all having a tea-filled Monday!


Join us and see how everyone – especially you – can make an impact.

October 11, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm CDTFree
As you can imagine, native plants are vital to the health and long-term viability of an ecosystem. That’s why our stewardship team takes great care to cultivate native species and remove invasive ones (to allow the natives to thrive). And that’s how you can help us!
By participating in our annual seed cleaning events, you assist Shirley Heinze by removing the chaff and other plant material off the seed bodies in order to improve seed distribution and germination rates. Let’s prep these vital native seeds!
Shirley Heinze will provide all necessary material and gear (we will host the seed cleanings indoors at the Meadowbrook office). We’d recommend bringing a reusable water bottle along.
Interested? RSVP below to let us know you’re coming!


There's another right next to it that's thinking of opening. I'm thinking by the weekend we could be in full bloom out here.
And as a side note, if you're going organic and using corn gluten on your lawn, I believe the time to put it down is just as the first forsythia bloom? (I need to double check that!) Assuming that's right, and the branches in cut just the other day have already bloomed in the house, and all the spring bulbs are starting to do their thing, it's time to get your corn gluten! I'll be headed to Ohio Earth Food just north of Hartville any day now to get my corn gluten, along with some other natural fertilizers for the garden. Ohio Earth Food is great - check them out if you haven't already!
While cleaning up some of the flower beds this afternoon I salvaged and trimmed down some sedum stalks. Since they were hollow after winter, I'm hoping this cheap, homemade version of the mason bee nests you see in the garden catalogs looks more natural and inviting. I bought an overpriced nest years ago and it never got used. Then again, there's probably enough natural options around here for the solitary bees that they just ignore anything I put out. We shall see!

Lumatek Utopia 600W/630W HPS/CMH Controllable Fixture + Lumatek 630W CMH Lamp
Lumatek Utopia HPS/CMH Controllable Fixture - 600W/630W | DE | 220 - 240V
220-240V Current Utopia 630W/600W Fixture designed to run CMH & HPS Lamps under a 97% reflective Hammertone Focal Reflector
Lumatek continues to innovate by introducing to you, the next generation of HID digital ballast technology for the horticultural grow lighting sector…
The all-new Lumatek Utopia 630W/600W DE CMH/HPS controllable fixture uses the latest in microprocessor-controlled electronics, to power both high-voltage CMH and HPS grow lamps – which are the most efficient HID light source for horticulture farming – allowing for both possibilities without additional expense.
Designed for use in climate-controlled grow rooms, tents & greenhouses, the Utopia is an integrated all in one fixture with a hybrid digital ballast linking to a double-ended (DE) lamp holder in a premium 97% reflective hammer-tone and aluminium focal reflector.
The Utopia 630W/600W fixture/ballast can drive both high or low voltage 600W HPS and 630W CMH DE grow lamps. Reducing the need for different ballasts/fixtures for each light source and thus reducing cost and maximising efficiency and flexibility to all growers.
Using our HID extension cable the Utopia fixtures ballast can also be disconnected from the reflector and used remotely for more flexibility.
The Utopia controllable is also available as an individual remote digital ballast that can be used with the reflector of your choice and offers the same hybrid tech
The Utopia fixture is both manually dimmable and can be externally controlled using the Lumatek Control Panel for up to 400 fixtures per controller unit, with automated and temperature-controlled dimming and safety protection for even greater precision, assurance and control.

Lumatek CMH Lamp - 630W | 3100K
This Double-Ended (DE) high-frequency pulse-start lamp has been engineered for use with Lumatek 630W DE CMH electronic ballast and is produced using high-grade ceramic arc tube technology and a specific horticultural gas blend that creates optimal spectral output for healthy plant growth.
CMH technology creates high energy PAR/PPF levels with low heat at full spectrum which is closer to sunlight and produces healthier plant growth and larger yield. With a CRI (Colour Rendering Index) of >90%, CMH is perfect for growing high-quality produce and essential oil extraction. Lumatek 630W Double-Ended (DE) Ceramic Metal Halide (also known as CMH/CDM/LEC) lamps are available in 4200K Daylight and 3100K Agro CCT formats.
Double-ended CMH lamps are more stable than traditional, single-ended Metal Halide (MH) lamps and this allows them to have an increase in light intensity and PAR/PPF output of up to 50% compared with similarly powered standard MH lamps.
The PCA ceramic arc tube permits the lamp to operate at higher internal temperatures increasing colour rendering, output and efficiency. PCA resists interaction with the chemicals inside the tube which stabilizes the chemical mix over the life of the lamp, thereby improving colour consistency and PAR/PPF level maintenance. Pulse-start technology enables faster start-up & restrike time, longer lamp life and increased lumen maintenance.

|Fruit color||black, striped|
- indet., regular leaf foliage, round small to medium size black/brown fruits with nice subtle green stripes on the shoulders that disappear when fully ripe, ~4-5 oz. It inherited Green Zebra's shape and size and has some faint red and green stripes. The taste is very similar to Green Zebra, as I remember it from the previous years, it is mild and slightly acidic. I am sure the future segregations will show some interesting fruits, and I will continue the F2 growouts in 2010 or 2011.

While the Florida blueberry crop is behind, predictions are that by the beginning of April, all regions in the state will be producing.
“The crop is several weeks delayed compared to last year. We are just starting the season and therefore are behind last year’s volume,” says Brian Bocock, vice-president of product management at Naturipe. “However, this season’s bud set is good and the crop looks strong. No impactful freeze events have occurred and because of this, we’re confident our blueberry supply will be strong throughout the rest of the year, despite the early setback.”
While it’s too early to truly tell, on appearance, Bocock says the crop appears better than last year. He notes that currently, supplies are only coming from central Florida and further south but that the rest of the state will be in production by early April.
Chile and Mexico shipping
This means the Florida market hasn’t really been established yet given there are too few shippers in the marketplace. “Right now, the market is still dominated by imports from Chile and Mexico, and that market volume is above 2020 levels,” says Bocock. We do expect Chile to be done soon and while Mexico is increasing expect to see some price lift over the next few weeks.
That means Chilean inbounds will decline as Mexican volumes grow. “We expect March volume to be down slightly versus last year. But as a whole, the Florida crop looks strong with a peak in mid-April,” he says.
As for demand, it continues to be strong with traditional retailers and Bocock says Naturipe expects good consumption from Eastern retailers during the Florida season. “Unlike the drastic changes in consumer shopping behavior we saw last year due to COVID-19, we can confidently say that we see a normal development of demand for this upcoming season and we do not see any setbacks in our way,” he says.
Looking ahead at 2021, Bocock notes that Naturipe is working on new product offerings which will include varietal development through its own breeding program.

PDP urges Govt. to help farmers affected by recent hailstorm in Kashmir
Srinagar: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) General Secretary Ghulam Nahi Lone Hanjura on Saturday expressed serious concern over the wide scale loss caused to orchards during the recent hailstorm in central Kashmir.
Hanjura in a statement said that the loss caused to horticulturists is massive and that the governor administration must access the losses and mitigate the affected people.
He said that besides plethora of areas of central Kashmir’s Ganderbal and Budgam, there various areas of Char-e-Sharief where the damage is massive and hailstorm has wrecked havoc at the large scale. Hanjura said the affected areas include Pakhar Pora, Dalvan, Fatli Pora, Chari Pora, Mohan Pora, Kar Pora, Shankar Pora, Zani Panchal, Kanidajan, Lolipora and several others.
Hanjura questioned the governor administration over the delay being done in the disbursement of the already approved financial assistance to the farmers whose crops were damaged by the earlier hailstorm. He urged the government to take on priority the assistance that needs to given to the farmers who have been bearing the brunt of hailstorms and unseasonal rainfall in Kashmir.


Agrium halts potash output at Vanscoy mine
Agrium Inc said Thursday it halted production at its lone potash mine, Vanscoy, due to a mechanical failure on its main hoist system at the underground mine in the western Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
The failure did not lead to any injuries and was unlikely to have any significant impact on its workforce, the company said.
The fertilizer maker and agricultural products retailer said it would update investors on the situation when it reports second-quarter results next week.
Agrium, which has been expanding output from the mine, said due to the outage it would bring forward a planned turnaround to tie-in its capacity expansion project and production at the facility will therefore remain shut down until the tie-in is complete.

EarthNews Radio: Master Gardeners International Conference
Do you want to hone your gardening skills, and gain knowledge about the craft from some of the world's master gardeners? There's a conference you can attend in Canada this summer to do just that.
As we continue to focus on gardening in the month of April, Jerry Kay spoke to Patricia Hanbidge of the International Master Gardeners Conference:
Hanbidge said that master gardeners from all over North America, Europe, and the rest of the world will be attending. But if you're not a master gardener, don't worry: you're welcome at the conference too. All skill levels will be represented. So its your opportunity to run elbows with some of the world's most skilled garderners. Maybe their green thumbs will rub off on you.
She said the conference would be informative for those who are just getting started, and will be a fun opportunity to socialize with others who love to garden.
The conference is being held this July 24-July 27 at the University of Saskatchewan, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, where the average daytime high temperature in late July is a near-perfect 78 degrees.

2013 Shares are on sale NOW!
2013 Shares are on sale NOW!
Yes, it’s true! Chatfield CSA Shares are now on sale for the 2013 season! As a 2012 shareholder you have the opportunity to renew your share prior to any new shares being sold. The deadline to renew your share (January 3) is coming up quick, so act fast to be sure to reserve your place in the program for next year. The CSA team is very excited about this coming season for a number of reasons. Please read through the following for more information regarding next year’s program.
- The CSA will not be growing in size this year! We are sticking with the same shareholder size and same acreage so we can assure that the quality of both the produce and the distribution experience remains excellent.
- Kaiser Permanente has agreed to help fund the CSA program for one more year! We are extraordinarily grateful to them and their support of the program. Their contribution will be slightly less than in past years, which is why we have had to increase our share prices and add new sources of revenue to help support the program. The CSA Staff will continue to seek out funding opportunities for beyond 2013 to help maintain the current size and success of the program.
- Crop varieties will be slightly narrowed down based on shareholder responses from the 2012 season so that we can focus on the favorites and reduce the not-so-favorite crops (turnips)!
- We’ve added additional share options this year! You can now purchase all local, gourmet and mostly organic choices for eggs, coffee, bread and mushrooms in addition to your vegetables. I can’t wait to have my first locally roasted cup of Pablo’s coffee (offered at a much reduced price from the retail cost) with a slice of cranberry walnut bread! We will continue to offer fruit, honey and fresh cut bouquets as well. You can purchase these items now when you buy your vegetable share or add them on later before the season begins.
- Canning and Preserving Classes will be available earlier in the season so you can get a jump on preserving your produce for the winter. The new Chatfield class line-up for 2013 will be available closer to the beginning of the season so stay tuned.
- We are looking to create a “Volunteer Event Committee” to help with the planning and implementation of our monthly CSA potlucks and other events. Please email us at: email@example.com if you are interested in helping out and having some fun!
- The CSA staff is looking forward to hosting more events in general this year including “Weed Dating” (a farmer’s version of Speed Dating), Local Food Film Nights, and other farm dinner events. We have had a generous donation from the Denver Botanic Gardens’ Herb Guild that will allow us to build an Outdoor Kitchen in the washstand area which will allow us to host more classes and events. The Farm Open House will again be available this year for people to come and see the farm at the beginning of the season.
Existing shareholders, please note that your renewal period is from December 3 – January 3 to purchase your share with just $100 down. On Jan. 7, we will release any available shares to our waitlist (we have over 120 people on the waitlist!) and we will not be able to guarantee your place for the 2013 season. Shares will then be released to the general public in mid-January. If you need to break the total payment into smaller payments, you may do so in 3 additional equal payments or pay in full.
We can’t wait to once again adorn our kitchen tables with the bounty of the farm, and we hope to see many familiar faces in 2013. If you are interested in our volunteer options, have purchasing questions, or other concerns please don’t hesitate to contact us! Send us an email at: firstname.lastname@example.org

I have a question about rice-straw too.
I worked with rice straw for the first time last week, and was surprise,
because the bales seemed well compressed, but weighed much less than a wheat
straw bale of similar compression. Is this normal? Is it the moisture
content which would be lower, or is it because of the type of straw?

Nearly 4000 fruits, vegetables make for massive display
IT TOOK three days and nearly 4000 fruits and vegetables, but the Heritage Bank's fresh produce display at the Founder's Pavilion is earning rave reviews from residents in its first year.
The massive display at the Toowoomba Showgrounds, which featured apples, tomatoes, lettuce and onions from the Darling Downs, was spread over two stands.
Heritage Bank's community and sponsorship manager Jan Johnson said it took helpers three full days to put the display together.
"Somebody did it on our behalf, but we were instrumental in making happen,” she said.
"It's sourced from the Darling Downs and some of the apples were further north, but no imported produce.
"There are almost 4000 pieces of fruit and vegetables - it's huge.
"They started installing on Monday and they didn't finish until (Wednesday) afternoon about 4pm.”
Passers-by were left stunned by the display, complimenting it for its size and colour.
But Ms Johnson said the real value of the display was where the fruit went after the show.
"When our exhibit's finished on Monday morning, the Toowoomba Clubhouse and OzHarvest are going to be here and they're going to distribute it to wherever they need to,” she said.
"OzHarvest were really excited because school will be back, so there are schools they can distribute it through.”
Ms Johnson said Heritage Bank hoped to run the fresh produce stall again next year.

JOIN US TO RADICALLY IMAGINE THE FUTURE OF PALESTINE
Re-imagining our relation to land & nature: agriculture and the environment
In Palestine, decades of dispossession over our natural resources – especially land and water – have been accompanied by Palestinian official neoliberal policies that have encouraged exploitation, capital-driven agriculture and use of natural resources.The Mediterranean is one of the most vulnerable region for climate changes, a vulnerability that is exacerbated by the climate apartheid we are living in.
We need to operate a radical shift in the way Palestinian approach our relationship with our ecosystems and resources and actively resist dispossession.

Don’t send one more travel mug to the landfill, plant a tree instead.
Every year at conferences, we see the typical swag, free pens, mugs, keychains and more—disposable products that we know won’t be used, or useful, for very long.
Your company has been working hard to make a positive environmental impact, and your conference booth should showcase that commitment to potential new clients.
We know it’s hard to find promotional products that you can trust are eco-friendly. At Project Forest, we had the same problem! That’s why we created the 100% recyclable Project Forest Seed Kits, a kit with everything you need to grow your very own tree.
Each Seed Kit costs $2.78 and contains:
- four locally sourced conifer tree seeds
- one dehydrated peat pod
- one biodegradable peat pot
- 100% compostable and recyclable sticker with a QR code for planting and care instructions.
To build the kits, we partner with local high schools and make a donation on behalf of our Seed Kit purchasing partners to a program at the school.
Order Your Project Forest Seed Kits:

Be proud that the swag you give away this conference season will grow into something meaningful. 🌲


Test Grow - Bodhi Seeds - SkunkVA x Snow Lotus
Im a little late getting this log started, has just been very hectic for me the past month. The good thing is at least the log gets started off with some pictures of actual plants as opposed to just some seeds soaking in water. I am extremely grateful and honored to be able to run these test seeds to say the least. I want to thank Bodhi
for this opportunity and my boy easternOG
for making this happen.
Being the Bodhi seeds addict that I am I needed more variety in the garden so I also have 2 Wish Mountain
plants that I will be including in this test log. I have really high expectations for both of these strains and I know I will find some magic in these seeds. While my hopes are high for Wish Mountain, I'm looking forward most to the SkunkVA x Snow Lotus. Im a serious chem/diesel/og fiend and the SkunkVA is my all time favorite smoke. Fingers crossed I can find a chem leaner pheno. For my purposes to make things quicker and easier I am just going to be referring to the SkunkVA x Snow Lotus as Chem Lotus
- Chem91' SkunkVA x Snow Lotus (Afgooey x Block Head)
- Afkansastan × Appalachia (Green Crack x Tres Dawg)
- 2ft 2 bulb T5 - 4ft 8 bulb T5 - 250w MH bulb - Plants start under the 2ft T5, Plants veg under the 4ft T5. The 250w is used for larger plants or used for plants before moving to the flowering tent.
- 1000w HPS/MH switchable ballast and air cooled reflector. Plants flowered under 1000w HPS Bulb in a 5x5x7 tent.
- Currently using FoxFarm Ocean Forrest with added Worm Castings and Perlite.
- Using the FoxFarm line of organic nutrients, Kangaroots Root Drench, Microbe Brew and Big Bloom.
I like to keep things as simple and natural as I can, Im a firm believer in less is more. When germinating I drop seeds in a shot glass of water. Once the sink to the bottom I plant them in a solo cup filled with soil. I like to have really good drainage and will just take the FFOF soil and add some perlite for babies. Usually when they are about 2 weeks old I will give them Kangaroots and Microbe Brew with their water. I will usually space these nutes in between a few pure waterings throughout the entire veg cycle.
These plants will be flowered in 5gal pots, their FFOF soil will be mixed with added worm castings and perlite. Their watering regimens will continue the same throughout the flowering cycle with big bloom nutes added to the mix with the root drench and micro-nutrients. I usually will top my plants between the 5th and 6th nodes and plan to do the same with these. I will then do some added training to try and create a nice even canopy.
9/29 - Germination Begins
Started 4x Chem Lotus and 2x Wish Mountain dropping seeds in a shot glass of water. Inside of 24 hours all 6 seeds had cracked and dropped to the bottom of the glass. On 9/30 all 6 seeds were planted into Solo cups.
10/4 - Day 1 - It all begins!
This is what is being counted as the first official day for these plants all 6 of them have now sprouted above ground. All 6 plants have been strong healthy and happy so far, no runts or slow pokes in the group. I have been very impressed with the vigor these babies have shown me so far. They are growing fast with tight node spacing and all are starting to branch out very nicely. 10/19 they were given their first dose of micro nutes and root drench and responded greatly to it. Given a few regular waterings and then another does of the nutes again on 10/26.
Enough information time to show some pictures and get this grow log rolling.
10/26 - Day 22 - Chem Lotus (SkunkVa x Snow Lotus)
Got a new camera which is great too bad I was in a time crunch while taking these photos. I didn't have time to get good lighting and have the ugly warm glow of the HPS in the background tainting the colors on these pictures.
These pictures were taken right before they received a watering and nutes they were a little thirsty and tad droopy for these pictures. They have a much darker color of green than is showing up in the pictures due to the bad lighting.

“To date, cultivators have largely been dependent on mother plants to produce clones from cuttings. However, this results in inconsistent harvests with diluted and uncontrollable traits,” says Kevin Brooks, CEO of Conception Nurseries, a cannabis micropropagation lab operating in California and Oregon. The company recognized early on how critical healthy, gen zero clones are to cultivators. “Our plants have consistent yields and grow times, and are pest and disease-free as they are created in lab conditions. In addition, we work to save cultivators money by decreasing their dependency on mother rooms so they can free up valuable, licensed real estate. We want to help growers focus on what they do best: growing.”
Solving cultivators’ problems
According to Brooks, the most important benefits of using cannabis tissue culture are risk mitigation and reduced costs. “Tissue culture generally refers to the growth of cells in vitro, meaning a culture dish. Micropropagation is a specific type of tissue culture whereby we can rapidly multiply plant material to produce a large number of identical plants. The technique is widely used in industrial agriculture for plants that don’t have a stabilized seed line. For our customers, it means large numbers of identical, disease-free, customized plants that solve cultivators’ most prevalent problems. They result in reduced operational risks and costs, while increasing revenues and delivering a dependable experience for the end-user. Tissue culture also allows for our customers to scale quickly, and we offer remediation, restoration, and storage services.”
Tissue culture has been largely perfected over the last 40+ years in a variety of large-scale agronomic applications, including multiple varieties of fruits, cash crops, spices, medicinal plants, ornamentals, and trees and bushes. “We are already starting to see rapid adoption of tissue culture in cannabis worldwide and expect extreme growth over the next 3-5 years. It’s no secret that the cannabis industry is changing rapidly. I firmly believe that anything that can provide risk mitigation, especially early on in the supply chain, will experience increasing demand,” says Brooks.
Scale and automation
Brooks explains that Conception Nurseries’ focus is not only to provide a far superior plant that traditional propagation, but to do so at or below what it would cost for a cultivator to do in-house. “The only way to achieve this is through scale and automation. We conducted a global search for partners that would allow us to leverage technology that is used In traditional agriculture and is new to cannabis in the US. For example, our California facility can put our over 600,000 plants per month in a 19,000 square foot facility. For traditional greenhouses, it would take over 9 acres and 5 times the amount of labor. A cultivator that is experiencing price compression will be able to make up some margin and revenue by using our products.”
The future of cannabis cultivation
Despite its major benefits, there are also challenges when it comes to this type of propagation. “Tissue culture is a highly specialized and complex part of the supply chain. It has taken us years of R&D at a high cost to develop, identify and develop from custom SOPs, to different light spectrums at the various stages, to custom media formulation for each cultivar. We have seen a lot of the well-funded larger producers worldwide underestimate how difficult cannabis tissue culture is at scale.”
Luckily, Conception Nurseries has been able to overcome these challenges, and is now the first to bring micropropagation at scale. “We use the Wayne Gretzky approach of ‘skating where the puck will be,’ not where it currently is. Early investments in cannabis were about betting on the industry more than on individual companies. Conception Nurseries brings innovation to the cannabis industry that elevates the industry as a whole and allows our customers to withstand and ultimately thrive in an otherwise young, volatile industry. Ask any sophisticated cultivator and they will tell you that tissue culture is the future, as it cuts costs and risk, and delivers a superior experience for cultivators and consumers alike.”
And in order to provide cultivators with this beneficial solution, the company is hoping to expand soon. “We are aggressively looking at expanding our footprint across the country. Growers lose an average of 32% of their potential harvest to pests, disease, and underperforming mother rooms. Therefore, there is no shortage in the demand for clean, healthy plants.”
That is not all that Conception Nurseries is working on, as they recently tested a charity program. “State by state legalization efforts are happening quickly. But in California, for example, it came at the expense of existing compassion programs. As more states come online, we are seeing the disparity in regards to people languishing in prison while others receive licenses, or veterans being denied cannabis as medicine from the Veterans Administration. We recently tested a program with our customers, which allowed them to choose one of three causes: the Veterans Cannabis Project, The Weldon Project, and Sweetleaf Collective. We asked our customers to choose one of these groups, based on what was most important to them and we are making a donation on their behalf. If funds can be put towards social good programs throughout the supply chain, the impact would be exponential – the resulting end-product would literally be rooted in good intention,” Brooks adds.

The theme of this year’s event is ‘Growing Sustainably’ and is due to take place on Wednesday, July 3, at the Teagasc, Animal and Grassland Research and Innovation Centre, Moorepark, in Fermoy, Co. Cork.
Moorepark ’19 is an ideal opportunity for farmers and industry stakeholders to see first-hand the results from some of the research undertaken by Teagasc, and to meet research, advisory and education staff.
Previewing the event – on the Teagasc dairy podcast – was Pat Dillon, Teagasc’s head of Animal and Grassland Research and Innovation programme.
He said: “It is a really important day for all dairy farmers as well as key stakeholders within the dairy industry.”
The event will include four main boards, along with live displays, demonstrations and workshops.
- Taking stock and looking to the future;
- The sustainable expansion challenge;
- Increasing grass utilisation;
- High-EBI cows are more sustainable.
The live demonstrations – on the day – will be on grazing management, reseeding, farm infrastructure, body condition and locomotion scoring, calf rearing, high-EBI genetics and health and safety.
Additionally, there will be workshops on milk quality, anti-microbial resistance, new entrants to dairy farming and people management.
Also featuring at the event will be themed villages for farmers to visit.
- Putting grazing management into practice;
- Sustainable milk production systems;
- Healthy cow – high-quality milk;
- Next generation breeding and reproduction;
- People farming smarter;
- Dairy farm infrastructure;
- Keeping you and your family safe.
A new aspect to the event – this year – will be a display of a large range of Irish dairy foods promoting their image, quality, taste and nutritional credentials.
Finally, the event will then finish up at the forum where there will be a panel discussion facilitated by RTÉ’s Sharon Ní Bheoláin.
“The forum is about meeting the challenges and opportunities for continued expansion. Here, we will have four industry experts to talk about this.
“The first one is Ciaran Fitzgerald who will look at the benefits of the expansion of the dairy industry to the Irish economy. Second of all, we have the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Matt Crowe, who will talk about the environmental challenge.
“Thirdly, we have Ola Walsh, who is a nutritionist, who will talk about the benefits of dairy to health and living. The final speaker is John Jordon the CEO of Ornua who will talk about the future market opportunities for dairy products,” explained Pat.
Opening the event will be the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed, who will also contribute to the forum discussion.
The open day runs from 8:30am through to 5:00pm. A comprehensive booklet will be provided, while admission and parking is free.

The head of GAIB's Grains, Legumes, Oil Seeds and Products Exporters' Association Mahsum Altunkaya said that the region has increased its role significantly. Sales of wheat flour, seed oils and pasta have come to the forefront in 2017, he added.
"We export to different parts of the world, but most of our products go to the Middle East. In four months, we reached $547.7 million in exports to the Middle East and $127.2 million to Africa," Altunkaya said.

ALTITUDE: 1700 masl
TASTING NOTES: Banana, caramel, jasmin, plum
Origin: Akawa Project - Runyinya
The Runyinya mill is one of 13 mills that form the Akawa project. A joint venture between SUCCAM and Supremo, the Akawa project was created to help producers escape the cycle of poverty in a sustainable and equitable way. Producers, striving for fairer remunerations and better living conditions, demanded a path towards prosperity. As such the project's working directives are based around UTZ certification standards, focusing on good agricultural practices, environmental responsibility and social equity as the central tenets of success for project members.
Of all the mills that come under the Akawa Project umbrella, Runyinya has a special place in our hearts. We have been sponsoring this mill since 2017, with over $20KUSD donated for investment in new seedlings, drying beds and a drying tunnel. Under the stewardship of Patrick Dusabe and Bernard Kubwimana, we have seen tangible improvements in quality over this time, allowing producers to demand a higher price for their coffees. Their desire for constant innovation has lead to their creation of honey lots for 2019, as well as their usual washed offers


Tomato, Sweet Cherriette (Organic)
$3.50 – $6.50
Solanum sp. Red Currant. 35 days. Indet. Dwarf.
Probably an interspecific cross of S. esculentum & S. pimpinellifolium. A delightful discovery for us from an old packet of Peters Seed and Research seed given to us by our friends at Bountiful Gardens. The first tomato of the season for us in 2013, by two whole weeks! Beautifully branched, small vines make it great for container culture or hanging baskets. Flavor is reminiscent of a red currant type, and more tart than one would expect with a name like Sweet Cherriette. Fruit are small for a cherry but larger than true currants. We’re calling it an indeterminate dwarf, as it pumps out several flushes of fruit over the course of the season. I know it’s redundant, but so true I have to say it again: Sweet Cherriette is a delightful variety.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday announced a new $ 13 billion (€ 10,9 billion) aid package for farmers affected by the pandemic.
"As of next week, my administration is committed to providing additional aid of $ 13 billion [...] to help farmers recover from this virus from China," said the US president, who blames Beijing for new coronavirus, detected in late December in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
The announcement was made during a rally in the city of Mosinee, Wisconsin, where Democrats won all presidential elections between 1988 and 2016, the year that Trump beat Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
This is the second economic concession that the US Government makes to farmers, considered the most loyal voters to Trump, to mitigate the effects of the epidemic.
In April, the US Department of Agriculture presented a $ 19 billion (€ 16 billion) package to support the agricultural sector, hit by the economic recession.
Even before the pandemic arrived in the country, the American agricultural sector was already suffering from the impact of the trade war with China, after Beijing imposed customs tariffs on products imported from the USA, such as soybeans and pork.
In March, Trump provided another $ 23,5 billion aid package (close to € 20 billion) to support farmers in the trade war with China.
Donald Trump is a candidate for the November 03 presidential election, and will face Democrat Joe Biden.
The United States is the country with the most confirmed cases of covid-19 and the most deaths caused by the disease in the world.
The covid-19 pandemic has already claimed at least 943.086 deaths and more than 30 million cases of infection in 196 countries and territories, according to a report by the France-Presse news agency (AFP).


Business executives and politicians in the U.S. continue their treks to fidel’s tropical island gulag with the idea of making a fast buck. The Sacramento Business Journal reports on the latest from California.
Eleven companies, led by A.G. Kawamura, the state’s food and agriculture secretary, will visit Cuba Jan. 21-24 to market California agricultural products to the government. Representatives from Mariani Nut Co. and Sierra Orchards will go on the trip.
The companies on the delegation were selected based on their commitment to international trade and how closely their products meet the needs of the Cuban market. The goal of the mission is to start the groundwork for future trips where products will be sold.
California exported $735,000 worth of agricultural products to Cuba in 2006. The country imports about $180 million in agricultural products annually.
As food is exempt from the embargo, the U.S. Treasury Department approved the trip. So. let’s see if this is right – raul won’t talk to the U.S., but he’ll take our food.
How did the trade mission determine that the products of the companies mentioned “meet the needs of the Cuban market?’ There is no market economy in Cuba, no system of determining the needs of the market. There are only the whims of the dictator to appease.

Chicago | Reuters — U.S. corn futures rose about two per cent on Wednesday after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s forecast for global inventories at the end of the 2017-18 marketing year fell below trade expectations.
Soybean futures hit a six-week high after the USDA’s reports were released, buoyed by the government’s forecast for a smaller-than-expected rise in domestic ending stocks for 2017-18. But the market turned lower as traders shifted their attention to rising global inventories.
Wheat ended modestly higher.
Chicago Board of Trade July corn settled up 7-1/4 cents at $3.73-3/4 per bushel (all figures US$). CBOT July wheat finished up 2-1/4 cents at $4.31-3/4 a bushel.
Corn futures advanced after USDA’s first official supply and demand forecasts for the 2017-18 marketing year pegged world corn ending stocks at 195.27 million tonnes. The figure was down from 223.9 million expected at the end of 2016-17 and below an average of analyst estimates for 209.72 million.
“The corn is the winner coming out of this, on new-crop ending stocks in the world,” said Don Roose, president of Iowa-based U.S. Commodities.
USDA’s forecasts of domestic corn ending stocks for both 2016-17 and 2017-18 also came in below the average trade expectations.
In soybeans, the CBOT July contract settled down 3-3/4 cents at $9.70-1/4 a bushel, retreating after a post-report jump to $9.89, the highest level since March 27.
USDA projected U.S. 2017/18 soy ending stocks at 480 million bushels, well below the average pre-report trade estimate of 563 million. But on the global front, USDA raised its forecast of 2016-17 soy ending stocks to 90.1 million tonnes, topping even the highest figure in a range of trade estimates.
“The world supplies on beans bumped up to 90.1 million tonnes, 2.5 million over what it was a month ago. I think that put the kibosh on the beans a little bit,” said Mark Gold, analyst with Top Third Ag Marketing.
Wheat futures ended higher on fund short-covering and spillover strength from corn. USDA projected global wheat ending stocks in 2017-18 at 258.29 million tonnes, above a range of trade expectations.
The government forecast that U.S. wheat inventories would fall to 914 million bushels by the end of 2017-18, down from 1.159 billion at the end of 2016-17.
