Sometimes the ground can seem like its rich in top soil but it can be sand or clay. The spot that you choose also needs good drainage. Vegetables will not grow on poorly drained soil‚ even if you use the best fertilizer money can buy. The next step to have a successful garden is making the rows. This way your

The forests found in Trinidad and Tobago are called Tropical Seasonal Forests because they are found near the Earth’s equator and have both wet and dry seasons. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A forest is made up of different layers.

One of the major environmental issues with the Himalayas is deforestation. Most of the trees in the Sub-Himalayas have been cut for land and lumber. Because of the deforestation‚ other issues like soil erosion and landslides have arisen. Overpopulation is another problem in the Himalayas. "Nearly 40 million

an excellent rotation crop of cotton‚ maize‚ groundnut‚ wheat‚ and sorghum. It reduces nematode populations that attack cotton and groundnut. It is also an excellent soil builder- it improves the soil texture and moisture retention and lessens soil erosion: the composted sesame leaves left on the soil binds the ground; retains soil moisture better for planting the next crop; increases the yield of the following crop. Sesame is resistant to drought‚ tolerant to insect pests and diseases‚ a low cost

trip Noel introduced us to the no dig system‚ which is environment friendly. Essentially‚ a no-dig garden comprises layers of varying organic matter piled up. This allows the entire area to be accessed without walking on the garden‚ thus preventing soil compaction‚ which is detrimental to worm activity and healthy plant growth. The layers of a no-dig garden are similar to those of an efficient‚ fast-working compost heap. Using such a varied range of organic materials creates high nutrient levels and

the system and conserve resources. One way farmers are going to do this is by stopping the plowing of the fields. That way‚ they will be preventing the soil from sucking in all of the water. Another way farmers are going to conserve is by growing high residue crops. In other words‚ if they leave dried out corn or other crops‚ it will cover the soil and create residue. Lastly‚ farmers can capture more rainfall by trying not to pump from the aquifer unless needed. In addition‚ if the attempt fails
