Bazeni za uzgoj algi Proizvodnja biogoriva iz algi Ovisnost svijeta o neobnovljivim izvorima energije, uglavnom fosilnim gorivima, trn je u oku mnogih znanstvenika i aktivista za zaštitu okoliša diljem svijeta.

Jedna od alternativa o kojoj se najviše pri?a su biogoriva. Biogoriva su zbog svoje sli?nosti s naftnim derivatima poprili?no dobra alternativa fosilnim gorivima i korištenje biogoriva rezultira s manjim emisijama CO2 u atmosferu.

Bees Butterflies and interpreting the theme

,
Well it has occurred to me that perhaps I have been a little hasty. A forest garden is a great idea but where will all the flowers be? Once the fruit blossom is over there will be very few and excited as I am about the forest garden concept, I love to have colour all through the season. So, having been entranced by Sarah Ravens series about attracting pollinators to the garden, I have decided that I am going to reinterpret the forest garden theme in order to bring in the insects to the garden and in the long term, help good fruit set!So what does this mean? Well actually its really good news I think. It means I can still have Dahlias as long as they are single blossoms that have plenty of nectar...

The tools are at the usual Poundland price point of £1, and there has been some discussion around how good they would be or whether they might just fall apart as soon as they are used. There have been some very unpleasant comments made on social media about not just these tools, but also about the store in general and those who its assumed fall into the demographic that shop there. Not surprisingly I found that really distasteful, with peoples social assumptions coming to the fore, most of which were assumptions that were completely unfounded. I shop in Poundland from time to time!!Charlie Dimmock has...

,
Today we will discuss the use of used tea leaves in gardening. We all love tea. What better it would be if we can use the tea leaves after taking out the liquor from it and use it in garden.

Grow Your Own Wedding Flowers Georgie Newberys latest flower farming book is here!!

,
Being sent a copy of Georgie Newberys new book, which, by the way will be published in early November, was a complete treat and made my day on Saturday when it arrived. It is a thing of beauty.

Its cover is a beautiful bouquet that could only have come from Common Farm Flowers, full of exquisitely conditioned roses and sweet peas, fennel and poppy seed heads. It is a quintessentially English bouquet that any bride would be thrilled to have as part of her special day.Now to actually review a book by a friend is hard, and so, frankly, Im not even going to pretend that is what this is....
