Building and Planting Vegetable Gardens-00-3379 By : haas2 The structure of your vegetable garden does not have to be entirely functional but it should also look and feel good.

Advantages of Planting Vegetable Gardens-00-3378 By : haas2 Is there a patch of land in your backyard that’s been left useless all this time?

Summer Gardens and Cooking with Essential Oils By : Norah Charles Now that summer is officially here, our home gardens are in their heyday. Spring's greens have already sprouted and given us the first gifts of the season, like bitter dandelion leaves, soft lettuces and nutrient-rich spinach. Now it's peas and squash, strawberries and raspberries. Last season you risked it and planted watermelon (and oh, what a harvest you had!). This summer you're branching out to cooking herbs and thinking of buying a backyard composting bin for all of your fertile scraps. No matter what you're growing in your garden or on your deck, the abundance of summer makes us want to eat healthy and pay attention to the earth, the real root of our nourishment. Most of the year, we get our fruits and veggies from farms that are states, and sometimes even continents, away from home. Each summer, however, we put on our gloves, pull out the tools and accept the call of the home garden. The fruits of this fulfilling labor let us create dazzling, healthy meals. As anyone who's ever harvested a basket of summer fruits and veggies from their own garden can attest, these simple ingredients produce the most extraordinary meals. If, however, your summer produce needs an added splash, you can cull a wide range of flavors from a surprising source: your essential oil repertoire. When buying aromatic oils, you should always strive to use medicinal-grade oils. These oils come from huge amounts of plant material, so it's wise to use high-quality oils from reliable sources. Of course we already consider this when we buy aromatherapy products for use on the skin. However, committing to therapeutic-grade oils has a secret plus: you can use these oils in food as well. If you've never seen your aromatherapy collection this way, just remember that smell has more control over our sense of flavor than even our taste buds! Keeping that little fact in focus, here are some hassle-free ways to use essential oils in your summer cuisine. First and foremost, let's address the issue of food safety. Essential oils are, obviously, plant-derived substances. While you may not want to eat a hunk of frankincense resin straight from the tree, frankincense is still a naturally occurring substance. It is not poisonous in small quantities, but it may make you want to brush your teeth immediately. Many essential oils are expressly dangerous for internal consumption, such as wintergreen and birch, but other oils can be used in small quantities for internal health as well as for cooking. In fact, the FDA has qualified many of the common essential oils as GRAS, Generally Recognized as Safe, substances. This means that, although they are not categorized as food additives, they can be consumed without apparent side-effects. When considering which oils to cook with, this is a good rule of thumb: essential oils of citruses, spices and other commonly-eaten foods are probably going to make excellent additions to your cuisine. Just be cautious when using essential oils that are known to irritate mucous membranes, such as cinnamon, oregano and peppermint. How can essential oils improve your summer harvest? Let's first consider one of the gifts of the Mediterranean region: the citruses. Oils like grapefruit and lemon blend beautifully with olive oil for simple, tangy dressings. All it takes is one drop of oil per tablespoon of oil, and your salad will be transformed. Love guacamole? Try a few drops of lime oil mixed with ripe avocado and serve it with corn chips or jicama slices. Still munching on this spring's spinach? Mandarin orange essential oil, which smells heavenly, is refreshing drizzled on greens. How about beverages? Oils add dimension to juices and fizzy waters, too. By mixing grapefruit, mandarin and lime in equal parts, seltzer water is transformed into a healthy citrus soda without the sugar found in commercial brands. As with all aromatic oils, though, don't overdo it. Thankfully, a little bit of oil goes a long way. Ever thought about those essential oils derived from the bouquet of cooking herbs you've planted in your garden? Oregano, ginger, thyme, marjoram, bay and basil are ideal for cooking. If you love basil (and most of us do!) add a few drops of oil to a simple pasta of red pepper, olives and red onion, and your taste buds will dance. Or maybe you're a stir fry fanatic. Ginger oil, which is extremely powerful, adds kick to Asian food and is great for aiding digestion, too. Ever considered trying coffee with cardamom? A single drop of cardamom turns coffee into a feast for the senses. Try this blend iced on hot afternoons for a refreshing treat or even after meals. When cooking with these oils, though, remember that an excess of oil could potentially make your food inedible because they are so strong. Go easy, and consider tossing the oils in right at the end of cooking so they don't evaporate prior to mealtime. Not surprisingly, essential oils also enhance desserts. Two of the most well-loved dessert flavorings come as essential oils: vanilla bean and cacao. The aromatic oils, however, do not come laden with sugar, nor are they soaking in alcohol, the process used to create extracts. If you find yourself craving a sweet vanilla, try blending your essential oil with honey instead of sugar and see if your craving is curbed. The same can be said for cacao. This bitter, dark essential oil is not a candy bar, but it signals the brain the same way chocolate does. A decadent way of indulging your sweet tooth without jeopardizing your diet is to drip two drops of cacao or vanilla into yogurt and eat like ice cream. Summer food has a way of reminding us of life's simple pleasures. From a basic family barbeque to a neighborhood feast, the fruits of the season enable us to take care of ourselves while taking care of the earth, too. Essential oils bring new dimension and ease to already simple fare, and often the addition of an oil adds nuance to a dish without the need for an extra trip to the grocery. So remember: if you find yourself the sudden hostess of an impromptu summer get-together and you're down to soy milk, just toss water, ice and essential oil of lime in a glass and call it a spritzer. This is summer, after all! How Do You Do A Chemical Soil Test? By : Helen Disler Chemical analysis is the most common method used to assess the nutrient content (and nutrient needs) of soil. An accurate determination of nutrient need is possible if two conditions are satisfied: first, that the soil sample is truly representative of the field to be analysed; and, second, that the chemical testing method has been calibrated through enough research to the crops and soils in the area. The farmer may choose to take soil samples either by soil type or on a grid basis. Soil-type sampling involves making a diagram of the field by soil type and obtaining a composite sample of each type. The composite sample may consist of 10 to 15 individual cores of each type which are thoroughly mixed together. From this mix, about 1 pint (0.5L) or 1 pound (0.4kg) is submitted to the lab for testing. This process is done for each soil type present in the field. Grid sampling involves dividing the area into squares of 1.2 to 2.0 ha (3-5 acres) and taking from each square a composite sample consisting of 8 core samples thoroughly mixed together. Contamination of samples should be avoided. The lab may also want historical information about the field, such as cropping history for two years or more, previous applications of fertiliser or manure, yield levels, etc. It is advisable to have the samples analysed by a reputable lab whose technicians are well-acquainted with the soils and crops in the farm's locality. The information generated from the chemical tests gives an indication of the soil quality in the field. Soil organic matter (SOM). Labs use chemical or thermal oxidation of the total soil to determine SOM. Since the carbon content of SOM is typically around 58-60%, a factor of 1.7-1.72 is used to convert soil organic carbon content into SOM. An organic carbon content value of 0.8%, for example, translates into an organic matter content of 0.8% x 1.7 = 1.36%. Larger values of SOM are desirable because SOM enhances water retention as well as nutrient retention properties of soil, making these available to plants. The lab will have to indicate an optimal SOM value for your area. SOM values that decline over time indicate deterioration in quality. Soil reaction (pH). The soil reaction or pH value, measured from soil slurry, is dependent on the type and quantities of organic and inorganic materials. However, environmental and management action also affect pH. Excessive nitrogen fertilisation makes soil acidic, whilst poor management of irrigation can induce alkalinity in soil. A soil pH analysis gives data about active acidity (or the hydrogen ion H+ in solution); in contrast, a test for lime requirement evaluates the reserve acidity (or the buffering ability) and provides an accurate guidance on how much lime to apply to a particular field. Nutrient Availability. Soils can be analysed for virtually all nutrients but within limits. The more routine chemical tests are for phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and manganese -- all of which significantly influence plant growth. There are specific tests tailored to specific soil types and crops. A recommended test will generate data expressed in units of nutrient content per hectare (e.g. kg/ha), and these values will be compared with an appropriate scale defined by local technicians. Chemical soil testing may have the most accurate results in soil testing because they entail precise measurements of nutrients detected in the soil. Selection of the method is a decision made by the lab scientists, depending on the facilities available to them. The farmer's role is to submit the most representative, contamination-free samples of the soil in their fields. Best Plants By : sfoxf Plants for your Garden whether the soil is well drained or waterlogged and whether your aspect is sheltered or windswept.and swamp plants for the poorly-drained parts.
