Southern SAWG-Planning the Planting of Cover Crops and Cash Crops
The document provides information on planning cover crops and cash crops for Parson Produce farm. It discusses the benefits of crop rotations including reducing pest pressure, weeds, and disease while improving soil fertility. Cover crops are described as crops grown to support other crops, not for harvest. Warm and cool season legume, grass, and broadleaf cover crop options are listed, along with how to plant, incorporate, and design crop rotations. The second half provides an example field layout and planting schedule for Field 1 with vegetables.
Gretchen soils slideshow
The document discusses healthy soil and cover crops. It recommends getting a soil test from your local Extension Office or Midwestern Bio-Ag for a complete analysis. Cover crops add biomass and improve soil in various ways depending on the crop, such as suppressing weeds, fixing nitrogen, or breaking up clay. Buckwheat can be tilled in after blossoming to add biomass. A winter mix of rye, hairy vetch and crimson clover provides soil cover and nutrients into spring.
Emerging patterns and goals for on the road
This document summarizes the goals and plans for a 63-acre homestead located in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. The property includes a farmhouse, barns, shelters, and greenhouses. It is currently home to dairy goats, chickens, geese, and a llama. The owner aims to use 30 acres for the homestead. Key goals that emerged include instituting a silvopasture system for the goats, determining the land's carrying capacity, and properly managing the milk collection and distribution. Elements like rotational grazing, fodder trees, and using greywater and surplus milk to enhance soil fertility were identified as important to the overall ecosystem design.
Homestead plan
The document outlines Scott Hall's homestead plan, which includes goals of being self-sustainable by growing fruits, vegetables, and raising chickens and turkeys to support his household and others. Some challenges are water access, storage, equipment, time management, pest control, and improving the soil. Opportunities include existing infrastructure like a greenhouse, composter, drip irrigation system, chicken coop, and grapevines/rhubarb. The homestead site is located in Florence, Colorado on a 100x50 foot plot with additional space and a sunny field.

How Do Trees Grow?
This document discusses several topics related to tree growth and forest management, including:
1) Basic tree biology and the factors that influence tree growth such as species, site conditions, and management practices.
2) Data collected from 1963-2003 on sample trees measured on a 55-acre property, including tree heights, diameters, growth rates, and volumes over time.
3) Considerations for sustainable forest management including harvest rates, financial maturity, rates of return from harvesting, and maintaining the forest as a long-term renewable resource.
How To Do an Inventory of Your Trees
This document provides guidance on how to conduct an inventory of trees on a property. It explains that a full 100% inventory is the most accurate but also most time-consuming method. Alternative sampling methods like using 1/10th acre or 1/5th acre plots can provide approximations. Variable radius plots are a commonly used faster method. The document outlines the key information to collect for each tree and discusses using computer software or spreadsheets to analyze the inventory data.
Week 3 food_needs_and_yields_and_micro-climate_map
The document discusses the plans of a family to become self-sufficient in food production on their 2.5-8 acre homestead called "ol' dirty farm". Through reading books on permaculture and assessing their food needs, the author learned they will need to harvest some crops twice per year to produce enough food for their family. They also plan to improve soil quality by adding organic matter as mulch. Tables are included that list various crops, the estimated servings and pounds produced per year from 100 square foot beds, and the number of beds required to meet the family's needs. Microclimates on the property are identified for different crop types based on shade levels.
Farming primary activities
Farming involves collecting natural resources and products from the Earth. There are five main sections of primary activities: farming, fishing, forestry, energy, and mining. Farming operates as a system with inputs that go into the system, such as seeds, fertilizers, and machinery. The outputs are the finished agricultural products. The processes that transform inputs into outputs include planting, growing, harvesting, and transporting crops. Key factors that influence farming include rainfall, temperature, soil type, growing season, labor, technology, relief of the land, and market demand.
Greenhouse production of Cucumber
Cucumber can be grown in greenhouses with suitable temperatures between 15-35°C and soil that is well-drained, loamy and rich in lime. Seedlings are planted at a spacing of 1.5m between furrows and 50cm between rows. Cucumbers are harvested after 70-80 days, with a total yield of 40,000-45,000kg per acre. Production costs are around Rs. 6.60 per kg and income from selling the harvest at Rs. 25 per kg results in a profit of Rs. 18,39,988 in the first year without considering capital investments.

Edible landscaping 2
This document discusses edible landscaping through perennial and annual plants, herbs, trees, and berries that provide food and nutritional benefits. It also covers creating sustainable soil through composting, cover cropping, and nitrogen-fixing plants. The document promotes using biological resources like chickens, and infrastructure like trellises to enhance yields while reflecting natural patterns.
Buddington final-project
On The Road Again Farm is a small goat dairy located in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. The farm began in 2007 with 4 goats and has since grown to 28 goats. The farm's goals are to establish a sustainable micro-dairy to provide locally produced goat milk products. The current site offers improved space but lacks infrastructure for milking. The farm owner proposes renovating a barn space to include a milking parlor and processing room meeting state regulations. Additional goals include rotational grazing, manure management, and outreach to share products with the community.
Edible landscaping 1
This is part 1 of a slideshow i delivered at the mountain homesteading festival concerning the zones closest to the house. It goes over information about landscaping itself and the integration of food plants and the support species to make it a holistic permaculture design. It also addresses soil and water issues. Part 1 focuses on the broad patterns of why and how and the integration of permaculture design. It zooms to more detail on water harvesting and also starts to look at plant selection and arrangement.
Successionplanting2013 130909151402-
The document provides guidance on planning succession plantings to ensure continuous harvests of vegetables throughout the growing season. It recommends planting crops like beans, squash and cucumbers in succession every 2-3 weeks to avoid gluts and gaps. Specific techniques include fitting succession crops into spare spaces in main crop plots, sowing different varieties of the same crop at the same time to extend the harvest, and using graphs to plan a sequence of sowings that provide an even supply. The overall goal is to plan successive plantings so that a new harvest is ready every 1-2 weeks throughout the summer and early fall.
Effect of Extended Grazing Management on Economics & Manure Distribution
Effect of Extended Grazing Management on Economics & Manure DistributionNDSU Carrington Research Extension Center
This document discusses the effects of different grazing management systems on economics and manure distribution. It presents data from several studies:
1) Backgrounding young cattle on annual forages like corn can provide good weight gains at lower costs than feeding in drylot. Early weaning onto corn also performed well.
2) At one farm using integrated crop and cattle, over 90% of manure from the cow herd was deposited on grazed lands, minimizing costs.
3) Data on net returns from various yearling steer production systems show that backgrounding on pasture or annual crops can be economically competitive with drylot or full feedlot production systems.Season extension at Kilpatrick Family Farm
The document discusses techniques for season extension on a farm, including recommendations for soil type and crop matching, fertility and disease management, planning crops, and post-harvest handling and storage. Some key points covered are using appropriate rowcovers and tunnels to extend the season, choosing disease-resistant varieties, and storing crops in root cellars or high tunnels over winter.

Arnolds acorn soils pvf
This document discusses soil management practices at Pleasant Valley Farm in Argyle, New York. The farm focuses on building healthy soil through increasing organic matter, using mulch, cover crops, and soil amendments based on annual soil tests. When the owners purchased the land in 1988, the soil had very low organic matter after 30 years of conventional corn production. They prioritized building organic matter through applying thick layers of straw mulch annually and using a bale chopper to incorporate crop residues. This increased the organic matter to over 4% and created highly productive soil. The farm also relies on soil tests, compost, and a variety of organic fertilizers and amendments tailored to the soil needs.
Winter Vegetables for the Coffs Coast
This document provides information and tips for growing a winter vegetable garden in Coffs Harbour, including which vegetables grow well, how to prepare garden beds, and what to look out for. Some key points covered are:
- Vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, and beetroots do well in the local warm winter climate.
- In preparation, remove spent growth from beds, turn over the soil, add fertilizer and compost, and let beds sit for two weeks before planting.
- Pests to watch out for include cabbage moth grubs, snails, and aphids. Organic and chemical pest controls are recommended depending on the pest.

L3 water supply problems
Different countries face varying water supply problems based on factors like population density, rainfall levels, and infrastructure development. In the UK, imbalanced rainfall and an aging system challenge water access, while developing nations commonly struggle with untreated water, pollution, and low annual precipitation. The lesson explores how population maps, rainfall charts, and development levels relate to these international differences in water issues.
L2 consumption patterns
There are differences in water consumption between developed and developing countries. Developing countries use a high percentage of water for agriculture, around 88%, due to inefficient irrigation systems and widespread subsistence farming. Their water usage for industry is low at 2% as there is little large-scale manufacturing. Developed countries have a lower agricultural water usage rate of 9% as they employ modern irrigation techniques. Their industry water usage is high at 79% to support extensive manufacturing activities. Domestic water usage makes up 12% in developed nations but is rising in developing nations where access to piped water is limited.
L1 variety in supply ap
Freshwater availability varies globally due to its uneven distribution and factors like population growth, climate change, and development levels that impact supply and demand. Aquifers underground store freshwater, but some are being drained faster than replenished. While three percent of water is fresh, two thirds is frozen and one percent is available for human use.
L6 developing world cs
China faces significant challenges with sustainable water management due to having only 7% of the world's freshwater resources but over 19.5% of the global population. To address this, China is taking several steps including implementing more efficient irrigation techniques for agriculture, building new reservoirs and water transfer projects, treating more wastewater, and raising public awareness of water conservation issues.
L5 fresh water supply
The document discusses sustainable management and use of water. Over 80 million more people are added to the global population each year, placing increasing demands on water resources. Agriculture and increasing meat consumption in countries like China also impact water usage. Two million tons of human waste is dumped into rivers daily. Individuals can help by planting drought-tolerant plants and using water-efficient appliances. Organizations in places like Las Vegas recycle water from hotels through advanced filtration systems. The government implements initiatives around limiting outdoor watering and pricing to encourage conservation.
L4 attitudes and desal ap
1. Las Vegas gets 90% of its water from Lake Mead, but over the last 10 years the water level has dropped by half. One solution is to build a 500km pipeline to transfer water to the city.
2. Desalination is a technology that can resolve water shortages by removing salt from seawater to make it suitable for drinking. It involves reverse osmosis, where pressure is used to squeeze water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane, leaving salt behind. It is commonly used in dry, coastal regions like Spain, Australia, and Saudi Arabia.
3. Desalination has pros like providing a reliable water source, but cons such as high financial and energy costs.
L1 ap classification, exploitation and changes
The document defines and classifies natural resources. It distinguishes between biotic factors like living organisms and abiotic factors like non-living things. Resources are also classified as renewable like solar energy or non-renewable like fossil fuels. Humans exploit resources through activities like overgrazing, overfishing, deforestation, and overusing water. This causes changes like soil erosion, declining fish populations, loss of biodiversity, and depleted aquifers. Humans also exploit energy resources but burning fossil fuels pollutes the environment and contributes to issues like acid rain.
L2b uk distribution
This document provides information about the distribution of natural resources across the United Kingdom. It discusses the variety of soils and how they support different types of farming in different regions. It also outlines where forestry, fossil fuels, water supply and minerals are located in the UK, noting that forestry is concentrated in the north and west, coal was historically mined in places like South Wales, oil and gas come from offshore fields in the North Sea, and minerals are extracted from both land and under the sea.
Resource use and consumption
This document discusses global patterns of food, energy, and water use. It notes that developed countries consume far more resources per person than developing nations. For example, the average North American consumes around 90kg of resources daily compared to just 10kg for the average African. While the world produces enough food overall, it is unevenly distributed, leading to both obesity and famine. Developed nations like the U.S. consume a disproportionate amount of the world's energy and water resources despite having a small percentage of the global population. Patterns of consumption depend on development level and resource availability within each country.
L2a resource distribution
Global natural resources are distributed unevenly around the world based on climate and geography. Soil quality and types determine agricultural productivity and are best in areas with brown forest soil. Approximately 40% of Earth's surface is used for farming. Forests cover 30% of land, with concentration in Brazil, Canada, and the US. Fossil fuel reserves are highest in the Middle East, Venezuela, Canada, and Russia. Rock and mineral deposits are found worldwide, with certain areas rich in resources like diamonds, iron ore, or precious metals depending on their geological history. Water sources include rivers, rainfall, and desalination, but some populations face future shortages due to climate change and increasing demand. The distribution of these vital natural
L1 variety in supply ap
Freshwater availability varies globally due to its uneven distribution and factors like population growth, climate change, and development levels that impact supply and demand. Aquifers underground store freshwater, but some are being drained faster than replenished. While three percent of water is fresh, most is locked in ice or far from population centers.
L1 mexico city
Mexico City is located in central Mexico within the Valley of Mexico. Globally, it is situated in North America, while regionally it lies near the country's borders with the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. Mexico City serves as the capital and largest city of Mexico. The urban structure of Mexico City consists of a central business district surrounded by inner city, suburbs, and an urban rural fringe. Land use varies across these zones from services and high-cost housing in the center to informal settlements at the urban periphery.
L1 ap urbanisation over past 50 years
Over the past 50 years, developed countries experienced slowing urbanization while emerging and developing countries underwent rapid urbanization. Globally, more people now live in urban rather than rural areas, as shown by satellite images of the lit-up world at night. Urbanization increased in emerging and developing nations due to factors like industrialization, rural to urban migration, and economic development.
Inequality in mexico
1. There is significant inequality between the rich and poor in Mexico City. The poor often earn just enough to survive and cannot save, while many work in the informal sector without taxes or protections.
2. The poor typically live in crowded areas on the outskirts of the city that lack basic services, while the rich occupy wealthier neighborhoods near the center with amenities. Income, rural migration, political influence, and long work hours contribute to the differences in quality of life.
3. The main reasons for inequality are that the poor earn low and unstable incomes; many migrate from rural areas with nothing; the rich have more political power; and the poor often work longer hours.
Ap urban growth mexico
Mexico City's population has grown quickly due to rural-to-urban migration as people leave tough rural living for more economic opportunities in the city. This migration has been caused by both national and international factors as companies open new factories near Mexico City, drawing more people. Impacts of migration on Mexico City include the creation of ethnic enclaves, pressure on housing as migrants settle both near the city center and on the outskirts, and services straining to support Mexico City's young and growing population.
Ap solving mexico city problems
This document discusses different strategies for improving cities, specifically in Mexico City. It outlines top-down and bottom-up approaches.
The top-down approach involves large-scale developments led by the government, where officials make the major decisions. Examples given include a housing agency that provided millions of mortgages and private developers building large identical housing developments. Issues arose from a lack of infrastructure to support the new housing.
The bottom-up example provided is of Neza, a squatter settlement whose residents organized to gain land ownership. They raised funds collectively for schools and utilities. This led to a thriving community with less crime than other parts of Mexico City.
The document asks the reader to consider the advantages and
Lesson 7 ap sustainable cities
This document discusses ways that Birmingham, England works to make urban living more sustainable and improve quality of life. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs, often considering social, economic, and environmental aspects of city living. The document outlines an activity for students where they will research in groups how Birmingham specifically addresses issues like recycling, employment, education, health, transport, affordable housing, and energy-efficient housing to promote sustainability.
Lesson 6 retail changes ap
The document summarizes the major changes in retailing that have impacted Birmingham over recent decades:
1. In the 1800s, suburbanization occurred as people moved from the crowded, polluted city center to spacious suburbs.
2. In the 1870s, industry began relocating from city centers to the suburbs.
3. In the 1980s, out-of-town shopping centers like Merry Hill opened, taking 12% of the city center's trade and offering free parking and large retailers.
4. Birmingham's city center fought back through redevelopments like the Bull Ring and Grand Central that improved pedestrian access and amenities.
5. Internet shopping has grown to 15% of
Lesson 5 inequality ap
The document discusses inequality within the city of Birmingham. It notes that while some areas like Moseley and Edgbaston have been commended for their quality of life, other inner-city areas suffer from multiple deprivation and economic decline related to the loss of manufacturing jobs. Deprived areas are identified using indices that measure factors like unemployment, income, health, education, and crime. The causes of inequality in Birmingham stem from deindustrialization that led to high unemployment and less money circulating in inner cities, creating a downward spiral of decline, while newer suburban areas benefit from positive economic multipliers.
L3b ap b'ham popn
Birmingham's population has experienced significant growth and changes since 1825.
1) Birmingham's population grew rapidly in the 19th century during the Industrial Revolution as people moved to the city for work in new industries.
2) The population peaked at around 1.15 million in 1950 before declining between 1950 and 2000 during a period of deindustrialization and globalization that closed factories and increased unemployment.
3) Since 2000, Birmingham's population has grown again due to new developments like the Bull Ring and improved transport links like High Speed 2 rail.
