Why Is It Good To Grow Fruits Organically

Welcome to green -tech blog and toady we will be talking about ,the importance of growing fruits organically.

Growing fruit organically, with minimal inputs and without artificial pesticides, fungicides or herbicides will ensure the food you grow is healthy, delicious and perfectly safe to eat – after all many fruits are picked and ‘popped into the mouth’ straight from the garden, often without washing first, so it’s good to know that there are no nasty chemicals involved.

Fruit can have a reputation for being difficult to grow, but this tends to be the case where fruit trees, canes and bushes are grown on a large scale, or in close proximity to other fruits where pests and diseases can become troublesome. Growing a small amount of fruit in school grounds is less likely to attract the attention of pests and diseases.

Information about reducing pests, diseases and weeds culturally is given priority in the following chapters. In any case, don’t be put off growing fruit – most fruits are easy to grow and if you follow the advice given in this manual it will set you on the right path (and point you to other sources of fruit-growing information to expand your knowledge). For trickier subjects such as pruning, don’t be afraid to have a go, or ask an expert to help you if you feel unsure about anything.

The only downside to growing fruit is that it can take a while to produce any results, although strawberries can be cropped the same year after planting. For this reason, it makes sense to integrate fruit growing with other quick growing vegetables and flowers, which will provide almost immediate interest, whilst the fruit remains a permanent backdrop to the school garden, but becomes centre-stage at harvest time.

This sense of permanence will remain with the children as they progress through their school career – enabling them to watch the fruit trees, canes and bushes they planted flourish, as well as leaving a lovely legacy of delicious crops for future pupils.

Protecting Birds

Protecting Birds During the 1990s, there was just one Spix’s macaw left in the wild and that one disappeared in 2000. Luckily, there is a captive population that should reach 170 by next year and there are plans for a reintroduction programme. Spix’s macaw is only found in Brazil and is confined to the socalled ‘caatinga’ biome in the north-east. Caatinga is a dry area dominated by small trees, bushes and cacti and forests with larger trees that form alongside rivers. The parrots require the large trees, especially the caraibas that can grow 25m high, for nest cavities. Though habitat loss was a factor in its disappearance, the main reason the species went extinct in the wild was the illegal pet trade. And while there is still a problem with people trying to collect wild birds, the area around Curaçá, where the caatinga habitat is found, is very different to what it was 30 or 40 years ago and it is much harder to do things without being noticed. For instance, when a Spix’

Young People And Agriculture

In the eyes of many, farming is not considered a desirable career. However, a growing number of urban youth see things differently. After a ‘first life’ outside agriculture, and often with a university degree, they have decided to become farmers. We call them new peasants. And many of these young people choose agroecology as an alternative way to enter the food system, promoting both social and environmental sustainability. This is a new urban–rural link, and a growing counter force to the dominant trend of rural outmigration. In interviews, new peasants in France told us they find fulfillment in farming. But they also emphasised that farming is a risky business, and it takes several years to build a secure livelihood from it. New peasants have little prior agricultural knowledge, and certainly no ‘family land’ to inherit. They often have to learn how to farm without the support of their rural neighbours who consider them ‘outsiders’. Lack of land due to high prices and land grab

Amazing Facts About Spiders

Though we often refer to Tegenaria and Eratigena as house spiders, for most of the year nowadays we are actually far more likely to come across these species in our gardens, garages and outbuildings. These are areas where we tend to be far less scrupulous in our cleaning and tidying – and where there is therefore much more potential prey. If spiders are left undisturbed, females can live for several years and may stay in the same web complex throughout this time, repairing the sheet and enlarging the funnel as necessary. So, if house spiders are more commonly seen in locations other than our houses for most of the year, why do we see so many of them in our bedrooms, bathrooms and living rooms in autumn? The reason, as with so many activities involving animals, is sex. During spider season, male spiders are on the lookout for females and it is their romantic wanderings that bring them into our homes. In common with many different animals, it is male spiders that are the disper
