Specific details are given for each vegetable on ideal soil temperature, planting times, succession planting, harvesting, diseases and pests to watch for.
This document discusses various common garden pests and provides information on identifying them, the plants they affect, the damage they cause, and natural methods for controlling them. It emphasizes the importance of using integrated pest management strategies that minimize harm to other wildlife and focus on tolerance and least toxic controls like manual removal, biological controls, and botanical sprays rather than total eradication of any single pest.
The document discusses the use of "guardian plants" to support natural enemies that control pests in greenhouses. Guardian plants both attract pests and support reproduction of natural enemies. A habitat basket containing marigolds, alyssum, lantana, and fennel was found to harbor native and introduced natural enemies that preyed on pests. Benefits included reducing pest monitoring time and ensuring a steady supply of natural enemies. Challenges included additional care and the risk that guardian plants could also harbor their own pests. The ideal system would have low pest levels concentrated only on guardian plants, allowing natural enemies to control pests before populations surge.
There are two types of seeds - open pollinated and hybrid. Hybrid seeds are created by cross-pollinating varieties and are often sterile, meaning the seed cannot be saved. Open pollinated seeds have better germination rates and allow the saving of seeds without risk of unwanted crosses. Different plant families require different approaches to seed saving to avoid unwanted crosses, with many garden vegetables like tomatoes and beans being very reluctant to cross. Proper isolation distances and techniques like hand-pollination can allow seed saving within plant families at risk of crossing.

Gardening with New York City Native PlantsFujita64g
This document provides information about gardening with native plants in New York City. It defines what a native plant is, explains why using native plants is beneficial, and lists some common native plant species that are suitable for sunny window boxes or other dry sites. Native plants are adapted to the local climate and provide habitat for wildlife. They require less maintenance than non-native plants once established. The document recommends using native species to create a sense of place, ease gardening tasks, support pollinators and other wildlife, enhance beauty, and preserve the region's natural heritage.
Plant an organic garden by choosing vegetables that thrive in your conditions, amending soil with compost, and selecting disease-resistant varieties. Feed plants naturally with well-rotted manure and organic materials. Rotate crops annually and avoid planting related plants in the same area to reduce disease buildup. Mulch the soil and remove dead foliage regularly to prevent disease spread. Water carefully and attract beneficial insects by planting flowers around the border. Follow these practices to enjoy a healthy, productive organic garden.

3) Involving children in all aspects of the garden and cooking encourages learning.
A Review of Suitable Companion Crops for Black WalnutAliki85w
This document reviews suitable companion crops that can be grown with black walnut trees. Black walnut trees produce a chemical called juglone that is allelopathic and inhibits the growth of many other plant species. The document finds that there are many companion cropping systems suitable for the short term (<15 years) and medium term (15-30 years) after planting black walnut, but few options for the long term (>30 years). Compatible companion crops serve functions like nitrogen fixation, additional yields, developing straight walnut stems, and pest protection. Black walnut polyculture is a viable option that provides multiple yields and recovers establishment costs over time.
Agricultural Integration Systems in Action - the University of MaineAliki85w
This document provides profiles of three agricultural integration systems in Maine between crop and dairy farmers. It describes how the farmers share land, labor, equipment, and other resources to improve soil quality, increase crop yields, and expand crop rotations. The farmers interviewed found integration benefited their operations through increased organic matter in soils from manure applications, reduced pest pressures from extended rotations, and improved overall soil quality and crop quality. However, the document notes that while integration provides benefits, opportunities for existing farmers to replicate these models may be limited due to requirements for proximity between partners and high levels of trust.

Alley cropping is an agroforestry practice that involves planting rows of trees and shrubs at wide intervals to create alleyways for agricultural crop production. This provides both long-term tree crops and annual income from companion crops. Benefits include improved economic stability, cash flow, plant diversity, and wildlife habitat. Careful consideration must be given to tree and crop species selection and spacing to optimize economic returns based on their interactions. Maintaining fences and controlling weeds are important during establishment.
Alley Cropping in Agro Forestry - University of MissouriAliki85w
Alley cropping involves planting rows of trees or shrubs with wide spacing to create alleyways for crops. This chapter discusses:
1. The benefits of alley cropping include diversifying farm income, reducing erosion, improving water quality and wildlife habitat.
2. Alley cropping can reduce soil erosion through tree roots and leaf litter, intercept rainfall to increase infiltration, and modify microclimates.
3. The design of alley cropping systems must consider the light, root, and allelopathic interactions between the tree and crop components to minimize competition and maximize benefits. Spacing, orientation, pruning and root-severing can help address these interactions.

Biointensive Mixed Plantings - Kentucky State UniversityAliki85w
This document describes a spacing calculator tool for mixed plantings in organic agriculture. It addresses the problem that mixed plantings spaced according to existing recommendations may require more land area than separate monocultures, especially when one crop is much larger than the other or makes up a larger proportion of the mixture. The tool calculates the optimal spacing between plants in a mixed planting based on a spacing equation, allowing mixtures to use land more efficiently while maintaining the benefits of companion planting such as increased yields and pest management. Users select various planting parameters to determine the appropriate spacing.
1) Biological control uses natural enemies like predators, parasites, and pathogens to control pests. This is an important tactic in integrated pest management.
2) The main types of natural enemies are pathogens, parasites, and predators. Pathogens are microorganisms that infect and kill hosts, parasites live in or on a host and feed on it, and predators directly eat other organisms.
3) Conserving and augmenting natural enemies through tactics like reducing pesticide use and providing habitat is an important part of biological control and integrated pest management programs.
Breast Cancer and Pesticides - Sierra ClubAliki85w
Pesticides that mimic estrogen can increase breast cancer risk. While estrogen is important for female reproduction, it can trigger or fuel breast cancer. Some pesticides accumulate in fat and mimic estrogen, stimulating "bad estrogen" production. To reduce exposure, women can eat organic food, avoid using pesticides, and breastfeed to help remove toxins from their bodies, though breast milk is now highly contaminated. People should pressure governments to better regulate and re-evaluate pesticides for their potential health risks.

Welcome to Brother Nature.ca where our passion is natural, pesticide and chemical free gardening.
We love gardening and gardeners too and as a result we have thousands of them as satisfied
customers.
We feel it is our duty to preserve and protect and teach about sustainable seed, soil & food sources. Our
desire is to support any agricultural process that leads to healthier people, plants and soil. Our highly
diverse gardens, tended to in an organic style (with crop rotation and companion planting etc.) creates a
well balanced, sustainable and healthy environment. These organic practices have proven there is never a
need for artificial inputs that can and will alter the natural reproductive capabilities of our plants and their
environment.
We provide 100% naturally grown this means zero pesticides, herbicides or chemicals are added to
our plot or plantsever!! We do not grow or sell genetically modified seeds. We also eat many of the
vegetables and edible flowers that are produced in our gardens, so we are diligent about our grow
process for our own health purposes.
When we amend our garden soil it is provided by an organic soil producer. All of our plants are
openly pollinated, our water source is spring fed and we hand weed, pick, clean and package in an
eco-friendly packaging. We do not treat or coat our seed with anything and because we personally
germination test every batch, every year, we know our product will meet your expectations.
People love to tell us about their success and rave about the quality of our seeds. Many have commented on
the generous seed count in the packages, where as other seed companies provide only the exact number
specified, we package by inverse ratio to the germination rates. We want to be sure that a 100 seed count
package provides 100 germinated seeds.
Brother Nature Natural Seeds sprang to life in 2002 driven by a passion for nature, healthful
gardening & an inexpensive way to provide fail safe, naturally grown seeds and plants, for our own
private greenhouses, that supply our 25 year old landscaping business. We located a suitable plot on
a Historic Farm in the Cowichan Valley, BC, Canada and began our project. It was tremendously
successful and many friends, family and all of our landscaping and nursery clients requested we sell
some seed to them. They had already had plants in their gardens from our nursery and those plants
came from seed we had saved so they knew our product would serve them well.
Our company is also proud to announce that we are now selling our seed WORLD WIDE. Our seeds
have found homes in Spain, England, Denmark, Australia, Holland and several US states! Have an
abundant season. Stay Happy & Healthy!! At Brother Nature we sell you trust. Enjoy your Garden and
thank you for investing in sustainable agriculture.
