Planta care alungă țânțarii – Plectranthus amboinicus sau țânțărica. Ing. horticultor Carli Marian, designer florist la Trias Cine s-ar fi gândit că pe lumea asta există o plantă care ține țânțarii la distanță? Ei bine, uite că există, dar mai mult poate fi folosită și pentru mâncare, grație frunzelor sale aromate. Nu știam despre această plantă, dar norocul meu este că-l am alături pe Carli Marian, colegul meu de blog care ne ține la curent cu incredibilele remedii pe care le-a creat natura. Eu clar o să-mi cumpăr mai multe pentru că mi se pare extraordinar să avem o variantă naturală la soluții chimice pe care le știm. Sper că ți-am trezit curiozitatea, așa că te invit să citești textul lui Carli pe care-l găsești mai jos. Întotdeauna zilele călduroase vin la pachet cu tânțarii. Deseori seara, când vrei să stai afară la masă, duci o luptă continuă cu înțepăturile țânțarilor care nu-ți dau pace. La maturitate planta are un aspect bogat, cu lăstari curgători extrem de decorativi.

Vegetable Seed Saving Handbook Amaranth Amaranthus spp. Amaranth is self-pollinating, but will also cross-pollinate (possibly even between different species). Further, wild amaranths are common in most areas worldwide. Individual heads can be bagged to allow growing several varieties in proximity or to ensure that wild plants don't cross the plants you're growing.

From ½ mile (green amaranths) to two miles (grain amaranths) are needed for reliable distance isolation. Grain amaranths may need support to keep the plants from falling over as they mature because of their large, heavy seed heads. If germination is slow, lightly stir the soil's surface... amaranth seeds need some sunlight after a period of darkness to germinate. Cut seed heads when they are becoming dry and hang them upside-down in large paper bags or over tarps to collect the tiny seeds. Amaranth seeds can last for many years if properly stored, and can sprout in the garden even after several years in the soil.

Arugula Basil Beans. How to Avoid Crossing Similar Varieties of Heirloom Seeds. Vegetable Seed Saving Handbook How to Avoid Cross-Pollination Plants which can be cross-pollinated by similar varieties are still easy to save if only one variety of the same species is grown at a time (e.g., one eggplant or one pepper). If using this method, however, make sure your neighbors aren't growing different varieties of the same plant, and that wild varieties of your plants do not grow in the local area. Queen Anne's Lace is the same species as the common carrot, for instance, and will cross-pollinate your carrots—carrots you grow from the resulting seeds will not grow true to the variety you started with. 'Isolate' Seed Plants for Genetic Purity If you want to grow more than one crossable variety of a species at a time and save genetically pure seed from any of them, you can prevent crossing by 'isolating' your heirloom varieties from each other.

There are several ways to isolate heirloom varieties: Each of these methods is discussed in more detail below. Seed to Seed Caging. Arbori si arbusti meliferi.

Every Thorn has its Rose: Kei Apple is both food and fence! 0inShare Share By Philip Newell The Kei Apple’s small fruit progresses from green to yellow once they ripen. (Photo credit: Global Facilitation Unit for Underutilized Species) The fruit is also perfect for jams and jellies because the natural acidity balances the required sugar added for long-term preservation.

Some, however, find the acidity to be wonderfully refreshing and eat the fruit plain. Its forgiving growing conditions make it ideal for regions not suited for water-intensive forms of agriculture. Currently, this tree is primarily used as a living fence and to provide privacy.

How to Control Cabbageworms: Organic Gardening. Q: Last summer, my Brussels sprouts, collard greens, and broccoli plants were decimated by cabbage butterfly caterpillars. I’d like to plant Brussels sprouts this year but don’t want to lose them again to cabbageworms.

How can I protect my garden from these voracious pests? —John Barbo, Geneva, Ohio A: Very hungry caterpillars are indeed a scourge of cabbages and related crops in the genus Brassica. In addition to the velvety pale green imported cabbageworm—offspring of those fluttering white butterflies—your sprouts and broccoli may also harbor striped green cabbage loopers, diamondback moth larvae (pale green and segmented with a light brown head), and cross-striped cabbageworms (chunky with a blue-gray back and a lengthwise yellow stripe on each side). All four of these caterpillars reach about an inch long, and all four riddle cole crops’ leaves and heads with holes and droppings. 66 Things You Can Grow At Home: In Containers, Without a Garden".

Growing your own food is exciting, not only because you get to see things grow from nothing into ready-to-eat fruits and veggies, but you also don't have to worry about the pesticides they might contain, and you definitely cut down on the miles they—and you—have to travel. As it turns out, with pretty minimal effort, anyone can be a gardener. My boyfriend and I are essentially first-timers this season and so far have the beginnings of strawberries peeking out, tomatoes are on their way, the basil's about ready for a big batch of pesto, and once the last frost hits, the peppers, kale, spinach, chard, and mesclun will be on their way, too.

LEACURI DIN GRADINA –pentru prevenirea si combaterea bolilor si daunatorilor (I) Daca vrem sa gradinarim in armonie cu natura este necesar sa ne amintim ca aceasta ne pune la dispozitie toate mijloacele pentru a avea o gradina echilibrata si sanatoasa. Inainte sa se inventeze substantele care se termina in “CID” ( pesticid, ierbicid, insecticid, fungicid etc.) si care in fapt denumesc otrăvuri, gradinarii observau mai mult si mai atent natura si se foloseau de leacurile oferite de aceasta pentru a-si mentine atat sanatatea familiei cat si pe cea a gradinii. Cu timpul, cred ca mai mult din cauza comoditatii sau stiu eu, am inceput sa cautam solutii mai “simple” de tratament si am apelat la substantele de sinteza cu efecte distructive asupra naturii.

Tineti minte cum se imprastia DDT –ul pe campurile de cartofi. Folosirea acestor solutii nu a facut decat sa produca dezechilibre majore in ecosisteme si sa otraveasca mediul. Dar, pana sa ajungem la folosirea acestor leacuri cred ca cel mai important lucru este prevenirea. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 10 Natural Ways to Repel Mosquitoes.
