For cultivation techniques means all operations conducted with the aim to foster the healthy growth and production of plants, there are many, and in this article give a brief description of the main.
Weeding It 'must have at least one type of hoe to till the soil around the vegetables and ornamental plants and fruit trees. The weeding has two main functions:
reduces weeds and thereby increase the availability of light and nutrients;
decreases the compactness of the soil allowing penetration of vital air.
It also says that a layer of fine soil on the surface acts as a mulch preventing excessive water loss. There are many models on the market and sarchiatoi hoes to choose from, the most common is the sarchiatolo reach; sarchiatoio this type of scale has a flat blade at the end of two metal arms that allow the earth to move in the middle. The tool is pulled and pushed, just below the soil surface, so as to cut off the stems of weeds just below the collar. If you use too deep to be less effective in controlling weeds.
The compost is a logical consequence of anyone with a modicum of wit ecologist, contrary to what you may think, realize it is not difficult and does not smell unpleasant.
WHAT 'THE COMPOST
The term compost or compost is a product indicated fertilizer, humus-like, obtained through the natural decomposition of organic matter fermented in the presence of oxygen and converted into organic substances simpler, more assimilated by plants. This transformation, which occurs normally by bacteria, is called composting.
ROME - Green light to the privatization of water. The government, for the 28th time, placed on the trust-saving decree containing offenses the reform of local public services, including water. It unleashes yet another tussle with the opposition. To which the motives of the Minister for Relations with Parliament Elio Vito ("choice to speed") is not enough. Also because of the time for the consideration of the House there was: the decree, that the executive considers armored expires in a week.
Issue of contention is the so-called 'Ronchi decree' establishing the liberalization of local public services, including among other things, that the share capital in public hands falls below 30%, leaving room for private parties. The measure makes it mandatory that the tenders for the award of services by local authorities and prohibits, therefore, except in exceptional cases, the direct assignment to public companies primarily in a compelling and controlled by the local custodian. As of December 31, 2010 therefore, the result of a direct assignment concessions cease. Read more ...
Hydroponics is a technique we now know as profitable and efficient, but how to make it more productive?
Creating rotating systems course.
Hence the design of advanced Omega Garden , patented for maximum simplicity together with more and more abundant crops, both in the home and in the industrial cultivation.
Let's look in detail at the proposed catalog.
For the amateur grower the product is the ad hoc Volksgarden , which can accommodate up to eighty plants and simultaneously give a touch decidedly eccentric furnishings.
Use LED lights for growing plants when sunlight is not available? This lighting technology can be very advantageous for terrariums: efficient, low power consumption, heat and last much shortly.
How do they work? Each plant pigment absorbs certain colors of light better than others. Chlorophyll absorbs red light very well and the blue, but not the green as the plants use chlorophyll for photosynthesis, the process is more efficient with red and blue light than with the equivalent of green light.
The classic growth lamps (HID, incandescent, fluorescent), used for indoor cultivation, producing a light with a wavelength of 380 nm (UV) to about 880 nm (infrared lamps). Read more ...
To understand the dynamics of operation of the LED lamps in the growth of plants you can find useful information in studies on advanced life support by NASA for astronauts.
The draft long space voyages, such as lead man on Mars, it collides with the need to ensure food and fresh air to the crew during their stay in space.
The traditional lamps are not a viable option for growth, given the high power consumption and heat output. For this reason the search for alternatives is increasingly oriented toward systems that use LED panels, which show considerable advantages such as energy efficiency, emission spectra, stable, safer, low-heat, longer life, smaller size.
I found some very interesting material in the archives of the "American Society for Gravitational and Space Biology" and in particular in these 2 publications from which I have most of the information in this article:
The Lake Maggiore in the heart of winter blooms.

In collaboration with the Bachelor of Science in Herbal Sciences, University of Pisa will be held Friday, October 23, 2009 at the technical meeting attendance medicinal and aromatic plants free from collection to finished product.
Head: Prof. Anthony Hall Welcome, Interdepartmental Center for Agro-Environmental Research "Enrico Avanzi", via Old Navy 6 - San Piero a Grado, Pisa. Coordinates: (43 ° 40 '49 "N - 10 ° 20' 46" E);
Sunday, November 8, 2009, from 10 to 18, the splendid Villa Della Porta Cocoon Casalzuigno (Varese), will host the second edition of "The day of the winter berries and camellias", an event promoted by the FAI - Italian Environmental Fund and dedicated to all those who do not want to give up even in winter the beauty of one of the most beloved flowers and refined: the camellia.
The idea of holding, always in the spaces of Villa Cocoon, also a version of "Autumn" from "The Days of the Camellias" - spring appointment now a must for lovers, collectors and nurserymen, now in its seventeenth edition - stems from the desire to make known and appreciated by more and more people from this flower from the fascinating history and unique qualities, presenting in particular species that offer a flowering even in winter.
Saturday 28 and Sunday, November 29, 2009 Villa Necchi Campiglio will host the first edition of "Early Winter. Flavors, fragrances, colors, "selling exhibition organized by the Italian Environment Fund in collaboration with the Academy of Piedmont Garden chaired by architect Paul Pejrone, former director for the FAI's" Three days in the Garden "and" Two days to the autumn, "the Castle of Masino (TO) and of" The flowers of awakening "hosted in March at Villa Necchi.
The event will know and buy flowers, fruit and garden produce for the winter season and will develop its garden, as well as in some internal spaces and the tennis court adequately covered.
