The idea that organic is better for the consumer and the environment is more of a mindset and not the truth. My purpose is to show the people who believe in organic products, that there are just as many down falls as conventional foods. Many people assume that organic foods are healthier, when in fact organic foods are more susceptible to carrying pathogenic bacteria, such as E. coli and salmonella. They also think that because organic farmers use natural pesticides rather than synthetic pesticides, it’s better for the environment. However, organic farmers are able to use a copper solution, which never leaves the soil, to fight fungal disease as where the conventional farmer use pesticides that are biodegradable.
Overall, the results indicate that Lake Raleigh is a healthy and thriving aquatic community. Introduction The purpose of this lab was to evaluate and determine the overall well being of Lake Raleigh’s aquatic community. This was accomplished by conducting tests to analyze several aspects of the Lake. This included measuring the pH, Secchi depth, compensation depth, dissolved oxygen and temperature at various depths, sediment samples from different zones. The pH test was used determine the overall acidity of the water, which is indicative of what organisms can and cannot survive in the water.
This strategy is effective as the plants grow up to four times faster and seasonal crops can be harvested all year round. Also the surplus water can be recycled, which cuts use by 20%, and also the plants need fewer chemical pesticides as they are being grown indoors. However, as the plants are not grown in soil, the produce is bland and cannot produce true organic produce. Also the heated greenhouses and lights are wasteful and the greenhouses are an eyesore. An example of aquaponics, which is a combination of hydrophonics and aerophonics, in the UK is in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
Running head: SAVING BIG JOHN, THE LAWN & GARDEN DOCTOR 1 An Argument for the Retention of Big John, the Lawn & Garden Doctor Annie L. Ledford West Virginia State University SAVING BIG JOHN, THE LAWN & GARDEN DOCTOR 2 Abstract Keywords: pesticides, J & G Garden Center SAVING BIG JOHN, THE LAWN & GARDEN DOCTOR. 3 The services offered by John and Gloria Weed through their garden center are numerous and, for the most part, have been favorably accepted throughout the community. According to the online case, the Weeds not only provided the availability of "... garden tools, soils and mulch products, gifts, seeds and related accessories" (J & G Garden Center, n.d. a) but jobs as well. Likely their business survived because of family and community help that contributed to low start-up costs. They are both proud of their contribution to the community, as well as fulfilling a lifelong dream.
The soil and weather conditions excellent for growing and harvesting the vegetables. Unfortunately, they would have to dig for the water but they had to do that in California too. The move to Irapuato would have great social impacts as well. Green Giant is going to have to pay the property tax for the 6,000 acres of land, in which, returns back to the community of Irapuato, Mexico and goes forth to the educational systems and the physical infrastructure of the community. It would increase the standards of living and create eventually a middle class.
The people would often combine a Noria with an aqueduct so you don't have to worry about the river flooding and breaking the machine. (Doc. 3) The aqueduct was built so there could always be a steady amount of water for the crops. The king of Chin wanted to build a canal to irrigate alkali land. The irrigation systems helped irrigate more than 667,000 acres and the Kuanchung land became fertile for many years.
Let me tell you how inorganic food starts. As many people know about organic food is that it is natural and free of toxins. Let us take fruits and vegetables for instance, they start from a seed unless it has been genetically modified for better quality and taste. This seed is planted and watered until the seed has reached to the surface and that is when it is feed with nutrients that are comprised of chemicals, which means the plant is no longer organic. This inorganic fertilizer gives all the nutrients the plant needs to grow which causes the plant to grow more rapidly and produces the fruits and vegetables quickly.
The water source’s soil next to it was fertile so that the Egyptians could grow crops there. The fertile soil is contributed by annual spring floods, when the Nile River overflows into banks. The River Nile was important to the Ancient Egyptian Civilization as rainfall was almost non-existent in Egypt, and the floods provided the only source of moisture to sustain the crops. The River Nile helped the Ancient Egyptian Civilization grow as it provided much needed irrigation. This river also provided a source of drinking water, as well as papyrus reeds that could be used for a variety of purposes such as building materials and paper.
To know that kind of soil you have in your garden you can make a test for that. Take one inch ball of soil in your hand then rub the soil between your fingers if the soil feels grainy and loose you have sandy soil. If the soil is smooth, slick, partially grainy, and forms a ball that crumbles easily probably you have a loam soil. If the soil is smooth, and sticky you have clay soil. • No matter what kind of soil you have, you must have to improve your soil beds with compost, either your own or purchased.
