Ruffin’s solution, a collection of selected cabernets and red blends, all from California, for $99 that anywhere else would fetch well over $100.

  • Pine Tar; History and Uses
    Pine Tar; History And Uses Theodore P. Kaye Few visitors to any ship which as been rigged in a traditional manner have left the vessel without experiencing the aroma of pine tar. The aroma produces reactions that are as strong as the scent; few people are ambivalent about its distinctive smell. As professionals engaged in the restoration and maintenance of old ships, we should know not only about this product, but also some of its history. Wood tar has been used by mariners as a preservative for wood and rigging for at least the past six centuries. In the northern parts of Scandinavia, small land owners produced wood tar as a cash crop. This tar was traded for staples and made its way to larger towns and cities for further distribution. In Sweden, it was called "Peasant Tar" or was named for the district from which it came, for example, Lukea Tar or Umea Tar. At first barrels were exported directly from the regions in which they were produced with the region's name burned into the barrel. These regional tars varied in quality and in the type of barrel used to transport it to market. Wood tars from Finland and Russia were seen as inferior to even the lowest grade of Swedish tar which was Haparanda tar. In 1648, the newly formed NorrlSndska TjSrkompaniet (The Wood Tar Company of North Sweden) was granted sole export privileges for the country by the King of Sweden. As Stockholm grew in importance, pine tar trading concentrated at this port and all the barrels were marked "Stockholm Tar".

  • Sphagnum Farming for Replacing Peat in Horticultural Substrates
    Sphagnum farming for replacing peat in horticultural substrates Rastede, Lower Saxony, Germany (53° 15.80′ N, 08°16′ E) Sabine Wichmann1, Greta Gaudig1, Matthias Krebs1, Hans Joosten1, Kerstin Albrecht2, Silke Kumar3 1 2 3 University of Greifswald, University of Rostock, Torfwerk Moorkultur Ramsloh ©FAO/Sabine Wichmann ©FAO/Sabine Sphagnum farming: a: site with infrastructure for water management (pump, ditches, overflow) and dams used as causeways (maintenance, harvest, transport) (schematic representation: Sabine Wichmann) b: Preparation of a Sphagnum farming production site (photo: Sabine Wichmann); c: same site with established Sphagnum culture and irrigation system (photo: Sabine Wichmann). Summary Sphagnum (peat moss) biomass provides a GHG-neutral alternative to fossil peat in professional horticulture. So far however, it has only been collected in the wild. Small-scale land-based Sphagnum farming is currently practiced on degraded peatlands. Sphagnum farming has also been tested on specially constructed floating mats that guarantee a constant water supply. This water–based cultivation allows bog waters to be used as reservoirs to irrigate cultivated areas in dry periods. It also creates additional Sphagnum farming areas. A mosaic of rewetted areas with land-and water-based cultivation may present the optimal combination for Sphagnum farming on degraded bogs. Experiments have also shown the suitability of growing media made of Sphagnum biomass for cultivating a wide variety of crops from seedling to saleable plant. Sphagnum biomass is also suitable for other uses, including gardening design, terrariums, sanitary items, insulation of buildings, water filtering and pharmaceuticals. When Sphagnum is cultivated as a new agricultural crop on rewetted peatlands, the high and stable water levels greatly reduce GHG emissions and the subsidence of the formerly drained peat soil.

The methodology includes criteria for estimating baseline and project scenario emissions from avoided conversion of production peat swamp forests based on legally approved conversion rates or historical deforestation rates observed in a proxy area. It includes procedures for estimating emissions from peat burning, peat oxidation, peat drainage, rice production, agricultural intensification, and biomass removal, as well as carbon stock changes in the aboveground tree, aboveground non tree, belowground, dead woos, soil organic carbon, and long lived wood products pools.
