There were two varieties of grapes - Welschriesling and Cabernet Sauvignon and six species of medicinal plants used for the experiment: Calendula officinalis L., Ginkgo biloba, Thymus serpyllum, Matricaria recutita, Salvia officinalis L., and Mentha aquatica var. citrata. A total of 14 samples of juice were prepared and two of them were used as controls and 12 samples were treated with medicinal plants. Total microbial count, coliforms, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts and microscopic fungi for testing the microbiological quality were detected.

Treats whole body more than individual systems. Echium vulgare (Viper’s bugloss, Boraginaceae, Borage family) Soothing mucilage, good for depleted adrenals, damaged lungs. Eleutherococcus senticosus (Siberian Ginseng, Araliaceae, Ginseng family) This one will not raise B.P., can use long term, good for building stamina against stress. Ganoderma spp. (Ganoderma spp. Ganodermataceae) Powerful/nourishing immune stimulant, allows lungs to absorb more oxygen, which in turn is positive for cardiovascular system Glycyrrhiza glabra (Licorice, Fabaceae, Pea/Legume Family) Having a steroid component, licorice is an all-body anti-inflammatory, has a regulatory action over estrogen activity, enhances immune activity. Only concentrated solid extract will raise blood pressure. Tea or tincture will not. Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Gynostemma, Cucurbitaceae, Gourd Family) Contains several ginsenosides (polysaccharides) that are identical to those found in ginseng, good for blood sugar and stress. By maintaining low insulin levels and moderate insulin sensitivity, we can reduce cholesterol buildup. Panax quinquefolius (North American Ginseng, Araliaceae, Ginseng Family) From “Panacea” meaning cure-all. Contains Saponin glycosides, milder action than asian ginsengs, cooling as opposed to warming. Regulates blood sugar and cholesterol, adrenal glands.

  • Deer Management in the Garden
    DEER MANAGEMENT IN THE GARDEN Deer can be a nuisance at times to gardeners in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. As development alters habitats and eliminates predators, deer have adapted to suburban life and their population has grown, increasing the demand and competition for food. In some areas, landscape plants have become one of their food sources. When food is limited, deer may eat plants they normally don’t touch to satisfy their hunger. Although no plant is deer proof, you can make your garden less inviting to wildlife. Below are several strategies, including a list of plants that have been shown that deer dislike in order to discourage these uninvited guests. Deer will continue to adapt to their changing environment, and you’ll need to continue trying different control strategies. But with just a little planning, you can have a beautiful garden and co-exist with deer. METHODS OF DEER MANAGEMENT EXCLUSION: A physical barrier is the most effective method to keep deer from foraging. A 7’ tall fence is required to be effective. Deer fencing should be within easy view of the deer and should lean out towards the deer, away from your garden. A fine mesh is used for the black plastic fencing, which does not detract from the beauty of your landscape. If fencing is not practical, drape deer netting over vulnerable plants. Anchor or fasten deer netting to the ground to prevent the deer from pulling it off of the plants. REPELLENTS: Deer repellents work either through taste, scent, or a combination of both.

  • Ginkgo Biloba Maidenhair Tree1 Edward F
    Fact Sheet ST-273 November 1993 Ginkgo biloba Maidenhair Tree1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Ginkgo is practically pest-free, resistant to storm damage, and casts light to moderate shade (Fig. 1). Young trees are often very open but they fill in to form a denser canopy. It makes a durable street tree where there is enough overhead space to accommodate the large size. The shape is often irregular with a large branch or two seemingly forming its own tree on the trunk. But this does not detract from its usefulness as a city tree unless the tree will be growing in a restricted overhead space. If this is the case, select from the narrow upright cultivars such as ‘Princeton Sentry’ and ‘Fairmont’. Ginkgo tolerates most soil, including compacted, and alkaline, and grows slowly to 75 feet or more tall. The tree is easily transplanted and has a vivid yellow fall color which is second to none in brilliance, even in the south. However, leaves fall quickly and the fall color show is short. GENERAL INFORMATION Scientific name: Ginkgo biloba Pronunciation: GINK-go bye-LOE-buh Common name(s): Maidenhair Tree, Ginkgo Family: Ginkgoaceae Figure 1. Middle-aged Maidenhair Tree.

  • Urban Trees As Social Triggers: the Case of the Ginkgo Biloba Specimen in Tallinn, Estonia
    234 Riin Magnus, Heldur Sander Sign Systems Studies 47(1/2), 2019, 234–256 Urban trees as social triggers: The case of the Ginkgo biloba specimen in Tallinn, Estonia Riin Magnus Department of Semiotics University of Tartu Jakobi 2, 51005 Tartu, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] Heldur Sander Mahtra 9–121 20038 Tallinn, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Urban trees are considered to be essential and integral to urban environ- ments, to contribute to the biodiversity of cities as well as to the well-being of their inhabitants. In addition, urban trees may also serve as living memorials, helping to remember major social eruptions and to cement continuity with the past, but also as social disruptors that can induce clashes between different ideals of culture. In this paper, we focus on a specific case, a Ginkgo biloba specimen growing at Süda Street in the centre of Tallinn, in order to demonstrate how the shifts in the meaning attributed to a non-human organism can shape cultural memory and underlie social confrontations. Integrating an ecosemiotic approach to human-non-human interactions with Juri Lotman’s approach to cultural memory and cultural space, we point out how non-human organisms can delimit cultural space at different times and how the ideal of culture is shaped by different ways of incorporating or other species in the human cultural ideal or excluding them from it. Keywords: urban greenery; cultural memory; human-plant interactions; Ginkgo biloba; cultural space Riin Magnus, Heldur Sander In the environmental humanities’ endeavour to highlight the role of other species in the shaping of human culture and environments, animals have played the lead role for a long time.
