Planting Guide for Home Gardening in Alabama - Alabama Cooperative ExtensionFayina19z
This document provides a planting guide for home gardening in Alabama, including recommended planting times and cultivars for a variety of vegetables.

An accompanying chart lists specific planting date ranges for spring and fall crops as well as spacing recommendations.
This document provides background and instructions for an activity called "Plant Buddies" that teaches students about companion planting. The activity has two parts:
1. Students work in pairs to plant "plant cards" representing different plants in an imaginary garden based on compatibility. Insects are then introduced to test the effectiveness of the planting.
2. Students classify the plants using botanical characteristics like flower structure to learn how scientific classification relates to companion planting. They create a dichotomous key to classify plants.
The activity aims to help students understand beneficial relationships between plants and insects in the garden ecosystem. Background notes explain concepts like companion planting, plant families, and how to adapt the activity for different gardens and extension projects
Companion planting involves combining plants that provide mutual benefits in the garden. Certain plants provide nutrients, shade, or structure to other plants. Gardeners should consult companion planting guides to learn which vegetables and herbs pair well together. Some plant combinations to try include the "Three Sisters" - corn, beans, and squash. While some plants help each other, others can inhibit growth, so it's important to observe plant interactions and avoid bad companion combinations. Experimentation is key to discovering the best companion planting methods.
The document lists various herbs, vegetables, and fruits that can be grown in a garden, including dill, corn, basil, apples, beets, garlic, leeks, beans, celery, cherry, fennel, chives, chervil, apricot, lovage, borage, carrots, lettuce, hyssop, kohlrabi, eggplant, foxglove, lavender, coriander, cucumbers, fruit trees, grape vines, gooseberries, horseradish, and lemon balm.

Plants Influencing the Behavior of Large White ButterflyFayina19z
This study examined how different companion plants influence the oviposition behavior of Large White Butterflies (Pieris brassicae L.) on cabbage plants. French marigolds (Tagetes patula) and painted daisies (Chrysanthemum carinatum) reduced egg laying on cabbage compared to control plots with only cabbage. Butterflies were attracted to T. patula flowers for feeding but laid fewer eggs on surrounding cabbage plants. C. carinatum appeared repellent to butterflies. Painted sage (Salvia horminum) showed some repellent effects later in the summer. Calendula (Calendula officinalis) and onion (Allium cepa) did not significantly

The overall aim is to help teachers establish gardens that educate students about food and sustainability.
A solar chimney uses natural convection to passively heat a home with sunlight. Air is heated as it passes through a solar collector mounted on an insulated south-facing wall and rises into the home. Larger systems can provide over 25% of a home's heating needs using thermal storage like rocks to continue releasing heat after sunset. Proper design of air channels and prevention of reverse flow is important for performance. Well-built systems can provide 30,000-120,000 BTUs of heat per square foot per winter depending on climate.
Without proper ventilation and thermal mass, temperatures in spaces with large south-facing windows will fluctuate widely, rising over 100°F on sunny winter days and dropping below freezing at night. Solar rooms gain excess heat from the sun that can immediately heat a house or be stored for later use with added thermal mass. Solar rooms are usually warmer than outdoor temperatures, reducing heat loss from attached buildings. Common types of solar rooms include greenhouses, solariums, and sun porches.
Solar Walls, Greenhouses and Organic GardeningFayina19z
Thermal storage walls, also called solar walls, are built to store heat from sunlight. They are typically constructed directly inside south-facing windows so that sunlight strikes the wall. This allows the wall to get hotter and store more energy than thermal mass placed elsewhere in the home. During the day, sunlight heats the wall, and then at night the wall radiates heat to the interior of the home. Different types of thermal storage walls include those made of concrete, brick, water containers, or vertical solar louvers. Proper installation and construction techniques, such as glazing, ventilation, insulation, and painting the wall black can optimize heat storage and transfer.
This document provides tips on using companion plants in gardens. It explains that many plants benefit from being planted together, such as tomatoes and basil, which improve each other's growth and flavor. The document recommends planting flowers like alyssum, chrysanthemums, lavender, marigolds, and zinnias that attract beneficial insects and deter pests. It also suggests pairing herbs like catnip, chamomile, dill, sage, and tarragon with vegetables as the herbs can improve growth and flavor while repelling common garden pests. The document encourages using companion plants to create an organic garden that benefits from natural pest control.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
