Like no other feature in the garden, a small pond of water lilies, cattails and Japanese Koi can transform and ordinary outdoor living space into an oasis. Ancient Egyptians and Far Eastern cultures were of the first to develop water gardens in the landscape. It was common to find lotus plants, papyrus, water lilies and other aquatic plants used to accent and focus on man’s relationship with nature. Since that time, Europeans have traditionally incorporated water gardens into the landscape and used Roman and Greek statuary to create formal pools and spectacular fountains such as those found at Tivoli Gardens in Rome and Versailles in France. Still a common practice in European countries, water gardens are finding a place in American gardens today. Fast becoming a favorite hobby for experienced and beginning gardeners, a water garden can be quite sophisticated with a series of waterfalls and pond levels, as interesting as a single 3 to 4 foot pool in the corner of the yard, or as simple as a half wooden barrel filled with floating plants and small water lilies. Installation of a Water Garden The most popular type of water garden installed today uses a synthetic liner to form the sides and bottom. There is very little time involved in installing this type water garden because these materials are lightweight, portable and adaptable to a variety of shapes and sizes. However, for one which will give years of enjoyment you will need to begin by making some careful plans.

Funding has varied over the years, but to date the ‘Bank’ has provided $15,450,000 of chemicals that were used to treat invasive plants on 700,000 acres of public conservation land. For private contractors, chemicals typically comprise up to 10% of the total project cost-their major cost being labor. Thus, in comparison, that $15 million of “free” chemicals has saved the Uplands Program ten times that amount in “free” labor. Now that’s a bargain! Herbicide Bank Operational Procedures How do I request chemicals from the Herbicide Bank? As in previous years, requests will be submitted to the Herbicide Bank using the Request Form (Appendix I).

    COURSE HANDOUT FOR INTRODUCTION TO FOREST GARDENING Complied by Jess Clynewood and Rich Wright Held at Coed Hills Rural Art Space 2010 ETHICS AND PRINCIPLES OF PERMACULTURE Care for the Earth v Care for the people v Fair shares PRINCIPLES Make the least change for the greatest effect v Mistakes are tools for learning v The only limits to the yield of a system are imagination and understanding Observation – Protracted and thoughtful observation rather than prolonged and thoughtless action. Observation is a key tool to re-learn. We need to know what is going on already so that we don’t make changes we will later regret. Use and value diversity - Diversity allows us to build a strong web of beneficial connections. Monocultures are incredibly fragile and prone to pests and diseases – diverse systems are far more robust and are intrinsically more resilient. Relative Location and Beneficial Connections – View design components not in isolation but as part of a holistic system. Place elements to maximise their potential to create beneficial connections with other elements. Multi-functional Design – Try and gain as many yields or outputs from each element in your design as possible. Meet every need in multiple ways, as many elements supporting each important function creates stability and resilience. Perennial systems – minimum effort for maximum gain Create no waste - The concept of waste is essentially a reflection of poor design. Every output from one system could become the input to another system. We need to think cyclically rather than in linear systems. Unmet needs = work, unused output = pollution. Stacking – Make use of vertical as well as horizontal space, filling as many niches as possible.

  • Growing Dudi (Bottle Gourd) Lagenaria Siceraria
    Growing dudi (bottle gourd) Lagenaria siceraria The plant Dudi or bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) is one of the oldest cultivated crops, having been used by humans for over 14,000 years and has been transported to every part of the tropics in this time. It is a vigorous trailing or climbing vine with white flowers which open at night and hard-skinned fruits, which are edible when young. When they are mature the fruits or calabashes are hardwearing, decorative and waterproof. They can be made into light, hardwearing cooking or water-carrying utensils, musical instruments, bird-houses or other items. Similar to pumpkins in cultivation, they require a sunny, sheltered site, and only a moderately fertile soil. They need plenty of water in the growing season but hate wet feet so avoid very damp soil. A thriving dudi plant can climb to over 12ft, so they need plenty of room and a solid support! Varieties and plant material In the West, dudi is cultivated as an ornamental gourd, and Ideally fill a trench with half-decayed leafmould or coarse so attention is given to cultivars with spectacular necked or municipal compost where you plan to grow dudi, during the swollen fruit shapes, rather than eating qualities and although early spring, in the same way as you would prepare a trench all cultivars are non–toxic, some are better flavoured than for runner beans. You could also use the old potting compost others. In the East and in parts of Africa, dudi is a valuable from last season’s container plants or hanging baskets.

    WATER GARDEN WG Easy to maintain Water Gardens bring the world of colorful fish and beautiful aquatic plants to your landscape. WHAT IS A WATER GARDEN? Water Gardens are biologically active gardens that contain water and living creatures. Plants thrive on the humidity and feed on the WG nutrients from the fish, birds and insects drawn to the pond, in turn providing them shelter and food. When in balance, bacteria, plants and fish thrive, water stays clear and clean and maintenance is minimal, so achieving balance is critical. Atlantic’s Skimmers, FilterFalls and Treatments complement fish and plant life to provide the tools needed to create a naturally balanced ecosystem. BENEFITS OF WATER GARDENS Water Gardens are living water features, offering not just the sight and sound of water in the landscape, but the enticing charm of the many plants and animals that inhabit them. • Water Gardens offer an attractive and accessible stage for pondowners to observe and enjoy the fish, insects, plants and animals that live and visit there. • The allure of the pond attracts live-in guests like frogs and turtles; dragonflies come to mate; birds to cool off and bathe, while fox, deer, rabbits and many other species come to drink. • Water Gardens provide plants and plant lovers the ideal habitat for favorite blooming aquatics, like fragrant waterlilies, exotic lotus and showy canna lilies. • Splash and evaporation raise humidity and moderate temperature around the pond in summer, while the water warms the surroundings in winter, creating a more temperate environment. THE ATLANTIC WATER GARDEN SYSTEM Atlantic’s Water Garden System offers a complete solution for every pond builder, from full-featured Skimmers that allow for every plumbing and pre-filter preference, to versatile FilterFalls that can be upgraded as ponds mature and organic loads increase.

This is a valuable harvest window for diversi- fied growers who need early spring revenue. Often, overwintered greens bolt rapidly and become unmarketable before spring-plant- ed crops are ready. The seed we are working with was first selected by farmers Brett Grosgahl (Even’star Farm, MD), Brian O’Hara (Tobacco Road Farm , CT) and Dan Pratt (Astarte Farm, MA) over many seasons to survive extended cold periods with minimal protection from winter conditions. UMass has planted this seed for three winters at our research farm in South Deerfield, MA. We have selected for cold-hardiness, late bolting and good spring regrowth. We have three species of cold-hardy greens including a mix of red and green mustard (Brassica juncea), a mustard tatsoi mix (‘MTM’) cross (Brassica rapa), and Siberian Kale (B.
