Year-Round Vegetable Production Using Organic Practices Eliot Coleman is one of America’s most innovative farmers. His determination to grow organic vegetable crops during the winter for profit in Maine has started a revolution among small farmers and market gardeners throughout the temperate climate regions of the world. Thanks to Eliot Coleman’s books such as Four Season Harvest and The Winter Harvest Handbook many Virginia farmers now look forward to the fall as a time to get started in crop production. Or-ganic growers are learning that there are often better opportunities for economic success in the cool off season than there are in the warm summer months. Quite a few members of the Virginia Association for Biological Farming remember hearing Eliot speak about organic farming practices used by small farmers in Europe at one of the Sustainable Agriculture Conferences held in Charlottesville back in the 1980s. His first book, The New Organic Grower had a huge influence on thousands of aspiring organic farmers. It gave everyone practical systems to follow in organic vegetable production that really worked. This book brought a great deal of new credibility to organic vegetable production by creating order out of chaos.

Garden Fencing

We all like our own space and privacy, and when it comes to the back garden, or even the front garden for that matter, this is no exception. Who doesnt like to invite friends around for a barbeque in the summer? And what better way to end a work day than sitting and relaxing in the garden as the sun goes down? However it may not be as relaxing if your neighbours can see right into your back garden, and you want privacy. Neighbours pets can also be a nuisance at times or children may keep kicking footballs into your flower bed. This is when garden fencing comes into its own, and there are many designs and types to choose from. In just one weekend you can transform your garden. You can even get your friends to help you with the promise of a cold drink on the patio once the transformation is complete.

Fencing not only provides you with the privacy you need, it also provides security. Good quality fencing surrounding the property may even help towards reducing your home insurance. When considering transforming your outdoor living space, there is plenty to think about, from garden fencing, to trellis work and arches, along with edgings for the lawn, posts and gravel boards. You can soon turn your open garden into a beautiful intimate space, and what better excuse for a get together than to show off your new garden?

There are numerous designs to choose from, from the very basic straight topped panels, to the wavy and extremely detailed panels. The overlap fences are very popular when it comes to providing complete privacy and can be purchased in different heights which make them ideal for securing your property. Willow screening can look fantastic, more so when it is framed by timber. This might be suitable for a garden in the cottage theme as a backdrop to flower borders. If you only want something plain and simple slat fencing may be adequate, or if you prefer lattice panels can be used. Lattice panels can look great when ivy or clematis is grown up them.

When purchasing fencing for your garden bear in mind that you will also need to purchase accessories and posts. Accessories may include the supports for the posts, fixings for the fencing, panel locks if you are erecting panel fencing, and brackets.

When it comes to garden fencing for your borders, again the options and styles are many. Fencing comes in bamboo styling, dome top edging, sleepers, logs and wavy edging. These are a superb and typically inexpensive way to make your garden look stunning. To top off your fencing you may wish to consider lattice trellis work along the top, of course this is only applicable if you have purchased flat topped fencing. Capping rails also finish off fencing, or you may wish to consider arch top trellis. Wickes have the complete range of fencing panels and accessories, so why not order online and have them delivered right to your door.

The Many Advantages of Organic Gardening

2012/04/4ffd5_organic_garden_default

The world is waking up to the advantages of organic gardening, which benefits both humans as well as the environment. Here are some important advantages for you to consider:

Less Toxicity: Organic gardening ensures that chemicals and toxins that come with pesticides are kept away from the food chain. Organic farming depends upon completely organic methods of pest control. While chemical pesticides are never used, naturally occurring plant oils and minerals are used to drive away pests that are harmful to the plants. This ensures that no contamination of food occurs due to chemical pesticides, which can result in a variety of health problems like birth defects, cancer, etc.

Soil Biomass: Just like our body contains good bacteria and bad bacteria, the soil does too. While it is important to destroy organisms that can affect the health and well being of your plants, it is also important to ensure that organisms that are good for the plants and soil remain alive.

This helps maintain high fertility of the land. Most people use chemical fertilizers and pesticides that kill both good organisms and bad organisms indiscriminately. It is important to consider alternative options like crop rotation to ensure that the fertility of the soil remains intact.

Nutritional Value: On one hand, organic farming ensures that our food does not get contaminated with chemical pesticides and fertilizers. On the other, it ensures that the nutritional value of the food increases manifold. When completely organic methods of gardening are used, the food that comes from it is highly natural and full of nutrition. This is because no depletion has taken place due to artificial and toxic products.

Join Will in their Probiotic Garden experiment today as he discusses the final results of the tomato experiment. The proof is in the taste! Two identical tomato plants grown in identical (trash) soil one watered with water only, the other watered with compost tea twice monthly yield very different results. The compost tea plant was better in all areas. Five times the fruit, 30% heavier fruit, as well as a higher BRIX reading which reads the flavor and nutrient density of plant juices. Contact Will if you would like more information on the merits and uses of compost teas in your yard or garden!
