  • Raised Bed Gardening Guide Advantages of Raised Bed Gardening
    RAISED BED GARDENING GUIDE ADVANTAGES OF RAISED BED GARDENING Raised Bed Gardening is an organic growing method which allows you to grow a larger, more plentiful harvest with less cost, in less space, using less water and seeds, and less work than traditional gardens. • Growing your own garden helps families improve their health through better nutrition. • With Raised Garden Beds, plant placement is done differently than in traditional row gardens, allowing you to grow five times as many crops as traditional gardens. • Raised Garden Beds use 20% of the space of single-row gardens. They can be located closer to the house where they will get more attention and care, resulting in a better, easy to manage garden and a more usable harvest. • Because your gardening space is more compact and productive, Raised Garden Beds reduce water usage significantly as you only water the productive area of your garden and not weeds or empty soil. • Raised Garden Beds use specially formulated soil which does not require tillers to break it up, added fertilizers, or weed killers. • The special soil used in Raised Garden Beds is not dug from your existing soil which means it does not contain weed seeds. The soil is not as compact which means if weeds seeds blow in, they are easily removed. SETTING UP YOUR GARDEN WHAT DO I NEED? 1. Lifetime Raised Garden Beds 2. Soil Mix 3. Weed Barrier 4. Seeds or Starts SOIL MIX: VERMICULITE Vermiculite is used to retain moisture in soil. The more coarse the vermiculite the better. PEAT MOSS Peat moss makes the soil lighter, more loose and helps with water retention.

  • William Herbert (1778--1847) Scientist and Polymath, and His Contributions to Curtis's Botanical Magazine
    WILLIAM HERBERT (1778–1847) SCIENTIST AND POLYMATH, AND HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO CURTIS’S BOTANICAL MAGAZINE Alison Rix ‘Hon. and Rev. W. Herbert, afterwards Dean of Manchester, in the fourth volume of the ‘Horticultural Transactions’, 1822, and in his work on the ‘Amaryllidaceae’ (1837, pp. 19, 339), declares that ‘horticultural experiments have established, beyond the possibility of refutation, that botanical species are only a higher and more permanent class of varieties’. He extends the same view to animals. The Dean believes that single species of each genus were created in an originally highly plastic condition, and that these have produced, chiefly by intercrossing, but likewise by variation, all our existing species’. [Preface to the third edition (1860) of On the Origin of Species,by Charles Darwin] The Hon. and Rev. William Herbert, often known as Dean Herbert, to whom Vol. 65 (1839) of Curtis’s Botanical Magazine was dedicated, was an exceptional polymath – a poet and classical scholar, linguist, reforming MP, clergyman – as well as amateur botanist and botanical artist. His best-known botanical work, illustrated with 48 of his own paintings, was the two volume work Amaryllidaceae, quoted above by Darwin. Although this extraordinary man counted botany as just one of his many interests, his output was prodigious; in addition to studying and breeding plants, such as Crocus, Gladiolus, Hippeastrum, Narcissus and Rhododendron, he also wrote and drew prolifically for journals such as Curtis’s Botanical Magazine and its rival publication, Edwards’s Botanical Register. In addition to Darwin, he corresponded with many other notable people, including Sir William Hooker and William Fox Talbot, and his letters paint a picture of a rather serious and industrious character.

  • Barbara Mcclintock
    Barbara McClintock Lee B. Kass and Paul Chomet Abstract Barbara McClintock, pioneering plant geneticist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983, is best known for her discovery of transposable genetic elements in corn. This chapter provides an overview of many of her key findings, some of which have been outlined and described elsewhere. We also provide a new look at McClintock’s early contributions, based on our readings of her primary publications and documents found in archives. We expect the reader will gain insight and appreciation for Barbara McClintock’s unique perspective, elegant experiments and unprecedented scientific achievements. 1 Introduction This chapter is focused on the scientific contributions of Barbara McClintock, pioneering plant geneticist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of transposable genetic elements in corn. Her enlightening experiments and discoveries have been outlined and described in a number of papers and books, so it is not the aim of this report to detail each step in her scientific career and personal life but rather highlight many of her key findings, then refer the reader to the original reports and more detailed reviews. We hope the reader will gain insight and appreciation for Barbara McClintock’s unique perspective, elegant experiments and unprecedented scientific achievements. Barbara McClintock (1902–1992) was born in Hartford Connecticut and raised in Brooklyn, New York (Keller 1983). She received her undergraduate and graduate education at the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University. In 1923, McClintock was awarded the B.S.

Materials: Pressure treated lumber vs. conventional lumber: Pressure treated lumber manufactured since 2004 no longer use a form of arsenic to protect the lumber from insects. It is significantly less expensive than most other lumber available at the “Big Box” stores. If you wish to stain or paint treated lumber, you may have to wait up to six months for it to dry enough to stain or paint. Use care when sawing pressure treated lumber; wear an appropriate respirator and throw away sawdust and left over scraps in the trash. Do not try to recycle pressure treated lumber in a compost bin. Conventional lumber has either natural resistance to pests and fungus (redwood, cedar and cypress) or no resistance to pests and fungus (pine, oak, and poplar). Staining and painting may be necessary for the wood to last more than a couple of years as a garden bed.
