When Cortes employed the concept of exporting democracy with the Aztecs found himself before a great nation that stood before him in all his power in Tenochtitlan, the grand capital of the Aztec kingdom.
I will not dwell on the end of this people at the hands of the conquistadors, but one aspect of which struck the soldiers simpler than these murderous expeditions: on what a likely ex-farmer had hired the Spanish rabble to see with his eyes remained presumably somewhat shaken . The capital of the Aztec kingdom had previously stood on some islets in Lake Texcoco, and was therefore deficient in fertile soil in which to grow: a sin is not just counting allegedly lived in this city about 200,000 people. Thus, striving with what nature had to offer, it is theorized and began using a cultivation technique to "root floating" which consisted in the exploitation of the lake water through the construction of fertile floating islands. Actual rafts of reeds bound together with reeds formed the backbone of this system, therefore, foresees a thin strip of land located on the rafts where to start sowing and then to find food plants in the water below.

Indoor Gardening premise that supports and encourages self-reliance and initiative, and the spirit that animates those who usually decides to build something with his hands. Following this idea we have often presented projects with creative people from trying and ritentando got the satisfaction of something unique and functional. However, we also received comments and emails of people disappointed, discouraged by the frustration due to the difficulty in replicating such a success. For this one more time we would like to emphasize that in most cases nothing is simple as it appears and that if tempt does not harm the result is not in any case never guaranteed. Here are some consideration to keep in mind when you decide to roll up our sleeves and hold the screwdriver.

Do you have a big balcony and do not know how to exploit it fully? Well, put a vegetable garden! Small, of course.
If the idea appeals to you but do not think you do it to build a garden on your own, try to stop a moment and look at your balcony with different eyes.
To each his own space
Think your balcony is not so large as to contain a vegetable garden?
Do not be discouraged! A single plan does not take up that much space.
Just remember that even the roots they need space and that therefore each vegetable must be planted at a certain distance from the others.
When in doubt, reduce the number of plants that you intend to plant. Better to focus on quality over quantity.
For cultivation techniques means all operations conducted with the aim to foster the growth of production and lush plants, there are many, and in this article we give a brief description of the principal.
Weeding It 'must have at least one type of hoe to till the soil around vegetables and ornamental plants and fruit. Weeding has two main functions:
reduces weeds and in this way increases the availability of light and nutrients;
decreases the compactness of the soil allowing the penetration of vital air.
It also says that a layer of fine earth on the surface acts as a mulch preventing excessive loss of water. Are available on the market many models of hoes and sarchiatoi from which to choose, the most widespread is the sarchiatolo to shot; this type of sarchiatoio has a flat blade carried at the end of two metal arms that allow the earth to pass in the middle. The tool is pushed and pulled, just below the soil surface, so as to sever the stems of weeds just below the collar. If used too much in depth proves to be less effective in the control of weeds.
Compost is a logical consequence of anyone with a spirit of ecology, contrary to what you may think, realize it is not difficult and does not smell unpleasant.
WHAT 'THE COMPOST
With the term compost or compound is indicated a product fertilizer, humus-like, obtained through the natural decomposition of organic substances, fermented in the presence of oxygen and transformed into organic substances more simple, more assimilated by plants. This transformation, which is normally at work of bacteria, is called composting.
Hydroponics is a technique we now know as profitable and efficient, but how to make it more productive?
Creating rotating systems course.
Here is then the advanced designs of Omega Garden , patented to reach the maximum simplicity together to crops ever more abundant, both in the cultivation housewife who in the industrial one.
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 add a touch definitely unusual furnishings.
Here's a handy guide to quickly and easily build a house for insects.
Someone may ask: why should we put ourselves in the house of insects, and in that sense would be helpful?
Well, first of all your garden is an important refuge for wildlife and a great place to see it close.
Imagine the scene: the herbivores that graze peacefully, some cleverly camouflaged to avoid being seen, and the predators who prowl looking for an opportunity to pounce on sventuarata dinner.
Suddenly, the carnivore leaps and grabs the prey that struggles. What a scene! Are we in the Serengeti?
Against the growing crisis in the sale of packets of seeds and seedlings have already been developed for growing vegetables on the counter at home.
Someone has already called "garden-mania," but to grow their own, perhaps on the terrace of the house, lettuce and tomatoes, more than a trend - across the Imperia - seems now a choice. Often times even forced, given the salaries "light" these days and that the significant increase of fruit and vegetables continue to suffer in markets and supermarkets. Against the crisis, in short, the Imperia rush to buy packets of seeds and seedlings have already been developed. Planting and then grow herbs, vegetables and even fruit on the terrace of the house is undoubtedly save. And then, last but not least, you always know what you eat. And so, alongside basil and marjoram, here sprout salad and tomatoes, tangerines and lemons.
We continue with the guide for the do-it-yourself building materials recovered in a simple and inexpensive NFT system, designed for outdoor use electronic devices without it 'conoscinze specifications. Here the first part.
PIPE PLUG
We insert the plugs in their place on the ends of the tubes and let us mark the point at which they arrive. And 'well sissare a plug only for a time, to prevent the pipes bending itself pull away from their position.
Let's remember to align the caps recalling that the drain hole must be face down, and that of the entry in the tube following at the top. This will create gradients that will help to oxygenate the water during his tour. The roots will appreciate this attention certainly. Read more ...
