Learn2Grow SULIS - Sustainable Urban Landscape Information Series: U of MN. COMBAT-MONSANTO - Pour que le monde de Monsanto ne devienne jamais le nôtre index The Urban Farm 20 Hydroponic container vegetable gardening system. Indoor/outdoor automated container gardening. The Urban Farm 20 for: Stop digging, tilling, watering, and weeding. Click here to find out what The Urban Farm is and what it can do! It's important to remember that tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, melons, and eggplant can grow so large with such a heavy yield in The Urban Farm that vertical support is recommended. Custom Design for multiple UF-20's? Urban rooftop or community gardening? -Stingy on water and nutrient -ultra energy efficient -far less maintenance than traditional gardening -no soil to haul -automatic watering and fertilizing -made to last for many years -the explosive growth and high-yield of advanced hydroponics For more in-depth info see: Info 101 and FAQs The Economics of The Urban Farm 20: We'll use tomatoes in half and bell peppers in the other half for simplicity. Twenty-to-thirty pounds of tomatoes per plant/planter is also very realistic in our experience (let's use 20). Included: The Urban Farm=bigger yield.
BIO CONSOM'ACTEURS | Agir pour une bio locale et équitable New Home Page PVC Hoophouse Construction (updated 3/11/12) « Henbogle We’ve been talking about a greenhouse since we bought our house. We both would love one, but we still have a number of projects higher up the list than a greenhouse (the barn roof, bathroom remodel, refinishing wood floors, the intermittently leaking chimney, etc.). Still, the idea of extending the growing season is just too good to pass up, and our small raised bed pvc hoops have been so great we decided to try a pvc hoophouse (HH) made from conduit. Where? We have serious groundhog issues, so the HH would need to be within the garden fence. Site preparation Our site had previously been worked as a garden bed, and last winter held the hen’s snow dome, so it is level (mostly), and a well drained as any spot in the garden. Next, we used large deck screws to construct the2″X’6′ base. Hoops Once the base was completed, it was time to set up the hoops. Purlins We found 16′ lengths of 1″x3″ at the lumber store, so we decided to use that for purlins. End wall construction The plastic cover
Alerte aux insecticides néonicotinoides dans nos aliments ! Le contexte. Bien que l’Union européenne vienne de décider de restreindre l’usage de trois insecticides néonicotinoïdes (clothianidine, imidaclopride, thiamétoxam) pour 2 années, le problème posé par ces insecticides n’est pas résolu, loin s’en faut. Enquête. Afin de montrer que l’utilisation de ces néonicotinoïdes dépasse largement les 4 usages de 3 produits maintenant restreints (1) et que l’exposition environnementale et humaine à ces produits continue malgré les récentes premières décisions, nous avons décidé de réaliser une campagne d’analyse d’aliments végétaux (2) non concernés par ces mesures d’interdiction. Nous avons ainsi recherché entre février et mai 2013, les 5 principaux néonicotinoïdes dans 109 échantillons de fruits, légumes et thés. Les résultats sont clairs : les aliments testés contiennent, à des degrés divers, mais fréquemment, des résidus de néonicotinoïdes. Et les abeilles ?
