The strawberry is certainly the culture that has had and still has the highest evolution of cultural practices in recent decades. The rapid variation of the "technology" ensures that the strawberry crop is affected by the move from an area where you use certain techniques to another that it introduces new ones.
At European level, Spain, Italy and France are the three main producing countries in the order of strawberries. In recent years in Belgium, Holland and some Italian alpine areas there has been an expansion of the strawberry with the development of cultivation techniques "soilless" to produce strawberries "off season" which may mean a delay in the anticipated production.
The standard varieties are currently undergoing major changes in both growing areas: the southern (Spain and southern Italy, North Africa and other Mediterranean countries) sees the emergence of variety "California" or related products; the northern (Po Valley, Northern France and Central Europe), where variety dominate "Europe" recently established.
AquaSchool created with the intention of providing educational services, related studies and sustainable use of aquatic organisms and environments natural or artificial harbor them, making use of current computer technologies for distance learning. In this way everyone has access to a personal computer connected to the Internet, can take a course in freedom, freed from the need to go into a classroom located in a given space and time stipulated.
In fact, as a student to follow a distance course with the computer has the following significant advantages:
HORTICITY is a company specializing in planning, designing and implementing systems for the cultivation of fruit and vegetables in urban areas.
The garden made popular in the building of Via Gandusio
Horticity helps to satisfy the desire / passion to grow a vegetable garden on the terrace (mini-orchard) by creating a little piece of nature where not only grow traditional herbs (basil, rosemary and mint), but also tomatoes, zucchini and lettuce for home.
The techniques used are those typical of intensive crops off the ground but suitably modified to fit the space requirements, input and care of their little domestic production.
Horticity is also committed to the promotion and dissemination of the social value of the practice in urban horticulture and through participation in projects implementation and management of community gardens that provide counseling and training to associations of horticulturists.
The cep mushrooms is one of the most popular in the kitchen, much loved for his versatility and for its unique flavor.
Under the name of Porcini is usually referred to a fungus of the genus Boletus, a squat appearance, and often large. It 'a symbiotic fungus and gregarious, common in forests of chestnut and oak, fir and beech forests in.
Mushroom picking in the woods is an praticatissima and therefore regulated in many areas by regular checks to prevent the depletion or defacement of the environment.
Not all of course have the opportunity to go personally to collect their own mushrooms. Nor capabilities: research requires some skill, experience and knowledge of the area.
The sorting is then done with care, since the risk of poisoning if the consumption of edible mushrooms is very high and can have very serious consequences.
And 'possible for a family of four people become self-sufficient in terms of food with a modest investment and some' do-it-yourself.

Having a little 'space, yes. This is the lesson that gives us this family of Mesa, Arizona, which in 2009 moved into a new house has found already installed an old empty pool.
Instead of spending thousands of dollars to fix it or filling of land have decided to roll up their sleeves and build a greenhouse and sustainable urban economy, combining techniques and basic concepts of 'aquaponica, hydroponics, traditional cultivation, water conservation, biological filtration, breeding poultry and solar energy.
The total independence according to the project should have been reached in 2012, but already by mid-2010 the plant proceeded independently.
The production offers 8 eggs a day, more fish Tilapia than a family of four can consume, and a good supply of fruit, vegetables and herbs, 365 days a year, and all completely organic and biological.
Make a sort of hydroponic gardens powered by the sun's heat, which requires almost no maintenance, recycled materials? Possible.
It takes very little money and is not even required a particular skill. Certainly in terms of aesthetics has seen better, but using your imagination you can definitely make some improvements just to the eye.
So, what we see is a prototype system of this kind Ebb & Flood. Is based on the physical principle for which the temperature of the gas trapped in the tank leads to an increase of the volume of the gas itself.
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.
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.
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.
To understand the dynamics of operation of the LED lamps in the growth of plants you can search for useful information in studies performed by NASA on advanced life support for astronauts.
The draft long space voyages, such as lead man on Mars, is faced with the need to ensure food and fresh air to the crew during their stay in space.
The growth of traditional lamps are not a viable option, given the high power consumption and heat output. For this reason the search for alternative solutions is oriented more and more towards systems that use LED panels, which show considerable advantages such as energy efficiency, emission spectrum stable, greater security, low heat emission, longer duration, small size.
