We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Designing the Garden
Why do you want a garden?
Ornamental
Edible
Forest Garden
Outdoor Classroom
Biodiversity
Maintenance over the Summer
Water conservation
4. Forest Gardens
The ZEN of all gardens
Collection of trees, shrubs and plants that grow together to share resources, shelter and shade each other, fertilise each other and be friends
No-dig system
Weed control: ground cover plants + mulches
Pest find it difficult to find the plants (ie not monocultures)
Careful planning, observation and hard work at the beginning
5. Edible Forest Gardens
A forest garden is based on perennial plants
School year doesn’t fit into annual vegetable crops as they are closed for the growing + harvesting season
Low-maintenance with little attention in Summer
Food during school months
Excellent habitat for wildlife
Beautiful space
Learning opportunities
9. Biodiversity Garden
Attract wildlife: Butterflies, Bees, Birds, Insects, Bats
Plant native species- attract native species !
Plants with early, mid and late season flowers
Wildflowers, Lawn flowers, trees, shrubs
Fruits, dead materials
Hedgerows, Wildlife corridors
Bird/bat boxes, bug hotels
Biodiversity Trail
10. Organic Gardening
No chemicals
Soils are enriched with natural substances (compost, Liquid feeds, Green Manures, Seaweed)
Work with nature (pollinators, soil insects, predators)
Garden for other species and they will garden for you
Low-tech
Native local varieties
Non-GMO
Companion planting
Crop rotation
Cover crops, nitrogen fixers
Mulches
15. Water Conservation Garden
Regularly check your outdoor taps, pipes and plumbing fixtures for leaks.
Ban the hose!
If you must water your plants, do it in the early morning or evening when it's cooler and only with a watering can, targeting only the plants that need water.
Grass can survive for long periods without water and will quickly recover when the next rain showers arrive. Raising lawnmower blades to a higher level will help stop grass from scorching in warm weather. Leaving the clippings on the lawn protects roots and returns nutrients to the soil.
Compost- Compost provides valuable nutrients and helps retain moisture in the soil.
Mulches- Using mulch such as wood chips, bark or gravel will help prevent water evaporation and will suppress weed growth saving water and the need for weeding.
Regularly weed and hoe your garden, to ensure that watering helps your plants and not your weeds.
Trees, shrubs and plants- use plants that require less water or native plants that are adapted to the Irish climate. These will also encourage the maximum amount of native biodiversity into your garden.
17. Using your skills
Metalwork, woodwork,
T-drawing, Art, Biology, etc.
18. The Design: Plan, Maintain, Enjoy
1.
Analyse your needs + wants
2.
Analyse + Map your area for: Shade, light, slope, drainage, Wind, Temperature (Frost), access
3.
Understanding your Soil
4.
Matching your Plant stock to your garden conditions
5.
Research, Research, Research !!!
6.
Skills in the group, school and community
7.
Make the Design
8.
Fund-raising
9.
Action Plan
19.
20. Understanding your Soil
1.
What soil do you have?
2.
What type of plants would you like to grow
3.
Match the plant to the soil type
4.
Improve + maintain your soil fertility
21. pH test
0-14 (acidic<7>alkaline)
You can have several different levels of pH in a garden
Adjusting the soils pH - lime
You can then pick plants that will survive and thrive in your soil conditions.
22. SOIL TEXTURE + STRUCTURE Clay – does not drain easily, becomes water-logged, muddy and difficult to work with. Work in plenty of organic matter to improve drainage. Plus- nutrients don’t drain away. Silty – Like clay, more fertile Sandy – Dry, loose water easily as they drain quickly so can become nutrient deficient. Benefit from mulching. Peat soil – high in organic matter, acidic and damp.
25. Crop Rotation
Group 1: Potatoes, corgettes, pumpkins, tomatoes
Group 2: Brassicas (cabbages, brussels sprouts, broccoli)
Group 3: Root Crops (carrots, beetroot, parsnips)
Cover crops (Clover)
26. Seeds
•
Local varieties
•
Organic / non-GMO
•
Save seeds each year
•
Swap seeds
•
Buying compost , vermicillite
•
www.seedsavers.ie or brown envelope seeds
30. Making Ethical Decisions
1)
Do I need it?
2)
Can i make it?
3)
Can i borrow it/buy it secondhand, recycled, reused, up-cycle, etc?
4)
If i HAVE to buy, can i buy products that are sustainable, local, natural, fairtrade, organic, etc?
5)
If i can’t buy within these criteria, is there another solution i hadn’t thought of?
31. Ground Preparation
Clearing the ground
Marking out + preparing drills/raised beds, etc ensuring access without soil compaction
Improving soil fertility (composting, manuring, liming, etc) – can depend on what you’re growing
Digging the seed bed- Forking, Raking + Levelling
32. Sowing Seeds or Transplanting
Sowing seeds outdoors (Not too early, not too deeply, not too thickly), Thinning
Compost- Peat free, local, recycled, organic?
Vermiculite
Grow + Transplanting from container (compost, cover, warmth, light + water, Prick out, Harden off to prepare for outdoors)
33. Maintaining the Garden
Watering
Feeding
Pruning
Mowing
Weed-control
Pest + Disease control
34. Weeds
What is a weed? Takes up space + stops other plants from growing
Weeds are pioneer species + some surprisingly beneficial
Weeding (Gloves!!!) Can be composted as long as they havnt seeded, diseased plants
Mulching
35. Pests
Slugs, snails, beetles, caterpillars, weevil, aphids, rabbits...
Predators: ladybirds, hoverflies, wasps, carabid beetles, spiders, birds, etc. All prefer to inhabit a natural ecosystem
Monocultures!!!
By hand, physical barriers (traps, barriers, woodchips, copper wire, eggshells)
Biological control
