Milk crate garden

0 likes•157 views
Milk crate gardening is a space-saving gardening technique that involves stacking empty plastic milk crates to form containers for planting vegetables, herbs, and flowers. The crates can be stacked on top of each other to build vertical planters that maximize gardening space. Gardeners can plant a variety of plants in the crates by filling them with nutrient-rich soil and ensuring each plant receives enough sunlight and water.

Alberta trip
A cooperator in Alberta, Canada took a trip in May 2010 where he filled his air seeder with barley and fertilizer while using GPS guidance on his Case-IH machine. The trip took him to central Alberta between Edmonton and the Rocky Mountains to the small community of MacKay, AB which has a community hall, cemetery and sightings of bighorn sheep, wolves and glaciers.
Curbside Composting in Queens
This document provides information about curbside composting in Queens, New York. It begins with introductions and outlines, then covers topics like what can be composted, the new brown bin curbside collection pilot program in Queens, how to participate, and resources for more information. The pilot program offers weekly curbside collection of food scraps, yard waste, and food-soiled paper to all Queens residents as part of an effort to expand equitable access to composting services. The presentation encourages participation and provides tips on using the brown bins properly.
Landscape Design Essentials
The document outlines the process for creating a base map for a landscape design project, including measuring the property boundaries, home footprint, and major landscape elements; locating utilities, soil types, and sun/shade patterns; and analyzing the site conditions to inform the design. The purpose of the base map and inventory/analysis is to gather essential information about the physical site to plan an effective and functional landscape design.
Greenroofs and Eco-Roofs
Presentation created for the Queens Library in 2022 covers eco-roofs including, whiteroof, blueroofs and brownroofs while introducing important concepts around the environmental impacts of each.

NYC Sewersheds: Our Urban Water Cycles
The document discusses NYC's sewer and wastewater system. It notes that NYC has a combined sewer system in many areas, which can overflow into waterways during rainstorms, discharging untreated sewage. It discusses the 14 "sewersheds" that collect wastewater across NYC's five boroughs and the 434 combined sewer overflow points. The document also summarizes strategies to reduce combined sewer overflows, such as separating sewer lines, expanding treatment plants, and using green infrastructure to absorb and filter stormwater.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
