The Informed Gardener , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 242min
In this introduction to sustainable landscaping practices, Linda Chalker-Scott addresses the most common myths and misconceptions that plague home gardeners and horticultural professionals. Chalker-Scott offers invaluable advice to gardeners who have wondered: Are native plants the best choice for sustainable landscaping? Should you avoid disturbing the root ball when planting? Are organic products better or safer than synthetic ones? What is the best way to control weeds - fabric or mulch? Does giving vitamins to plants stimulate growth? Are compost teas effective in controlling diseases? When is the best time to water in hot weather? If you pay more, do you get a higher-quality plant? How can you differentiate good advice from bad advice? The answers may surprise you. In her more than 20 years as a university researcher and educator in the field of plant physiology, Linda Chalker-Scott has discovered a number of so-called truths that originated in traditional agriculture that have been applied to urban horticulture, in many cases damaging both plant and environmental health. The Informed Gardener is based on basic and applied research from university faculty and landscape professionals, originally published in peer-reviewed journals. After reading this book, you will: understand your landscape or garden plants as components of a living system; save time (by not overdoing soil preparation, weeding, pruning, staking, or replacing plants that have died before their time); save money (by avoiding worthless or harmful garden products, and producing healthier, longer-lived plants); reduce use of fertilizers and pesticides; and assess marketing claims objectively. This book will be of interest to landscape architects, nursery and landscape professionals, urban foresters, arborists, certified professional horticulturists, and home gardeners. Linda Chalker-Scott is an extension urban horticulturist and associate professor at Puy ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Beth Richmond.

Hydroponics Garden Secret: A Beginner’s Guide on How to Build and Maintain a Hydroponics System. Let’s Discover Together All the Secrets of Gardening in Water. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 164min
Have you ever heard of hydroponics? Do you have some vague notions about it, and are you interested in discovering more? If yes, this is the right book for you.Hydroponics is a way to grow plants in a nutrient-rich, water-based solution. The roots get supported by using a medium-like vermiculite, peat moss, clay pellets, Rockwool, or perlite. The logic behind hydroponics is by letting the roots come in contact with the solution, the plants will have access to plenty of oxygen that they need to flourish.The root system of the plants will have less stress than if they're grown traditionally, since they don’t have to find food from the soil, and they can convert the nutrients into energy faster. This will result in a more significant production in a short amount of time.Since plants are grown without soil, you have to maximize the root’s nutrient absorption. This means the way you give the roots their nutrients is extremely important.This book includes:What hydroponic gardening isHydroponics gardening vs. aquaponicsHydroponics vegetable-gardeningHydroponics growing systemWhich plants can be grown with hydroponicsAnd much more!Hydroponics has had a place in various civilizations throughout history. The floating gardens in China and Mexico, along with the hanging gardens in Babylon, are a few examples of hydroponic culture. Nevertheless, great strides have been made through the years to this part of agriculture.During the past century, horticulturists and scientists have been experimenting with various hydroponic ways. Hydroponics was used in World War II, to give troops who were stationed on various islands in the Pacific - where food wouldn’t grow easily - the ability to grown produce themselves.So, interested in gardening hydroponically?

Trees in Paradise: A California History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1153min
From roots to canopy, a lush, verdant history of the making of California. California now has more trees than at any time since the late Pleistocene. This green landscape, however, is not the work of nature. It’s the work of history. In the years after the Gold Rush, American settlers remade the California landscape, harnessing nature to their vision of the good life. Horticulturists, boosters, and civic reformers began to "improve" the bare, brown countryside, planting millions of trees to create groves, wooded suburbs, and landscaped cities. They imported the blue-green eucalypts whose tangy fragrance was thought to cure malaria. They built the lucrative "Orange Empire" on the sweet juice and thick skin of the Washington navel, an industrial fruit. They lined their streets with graceful palms to announce that they were not in the Midwest anymore. To the north the majestic coastal redwoods inspired awe and invited exploitation. A resource in the state, the durable heartwood of these timeless giants became infrastructure, transformed by the saw teeth of American enterprise. By 1900 timber firms owned the entire redwood forest; by 1950 they had clear-cut almost all of the old-growth trees. In time California’s new landscape proved to be no paradise: The eucalypts in the Berkeley hills exploded in fire; the orange groves near Riverside froze on cold nights; Los Angeles’s palms harbored rats and dropped heavy fronds on the streets below. Disease, infestation, and development all spelled decline for these nonnative evergreens. In the north, however, a new forest of second-growth redwood took root, nurtured by protective laws and sustainable harvesting. Today there are more California redwoods than there were a century ago. Rich in character and story, Trees in Paradise is a dazzling narrative that offers an insightful, new perspective on the history of the Golden State and the American West. ungekürzt.

Hydroponics Growing System: Discover the Secret for Growing Vegetables and Fruits in Your Garden with Exclusive Hydroponics Techniques for a Great Gardening Experience Even If You Are a Beginner , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 255min
Are you looking for a step-by-step method for improving your gardening skills? Then keep reading....Hydroponics is the method of growing plants without soil by supplying them with a constant nutrient solution. Despite the fact that this method remains fairly unknown outside of a small sector of the horticultural world it has in fact been around for a long time. It is a system that was used extensively in the hanging gardens of Babylon and has been studied extensively by scientists and horticulturists for the last several hundred years.There are many powerful reasons for commercial food growers to use this method, but it is also now being used more frequently by the domestic gardener keen to produce a high yield in a small amount of space. Though it is seen primarily as a way of producing crops for the table, it is also a method that can be used for the production of ornamental plants.All plants require air, light, and dissolved nutrients to grow. Hydroponics allows for a very precisely controlled amount of nutrients, dissolved in water, to be administered directly to the root system, as the plant requires it. Because the root system is no longer obliged to spread so far in order to attain the nutrients it requires, this in turn enables the grower to plant his crops at much higher densities, which is just one reason why hydroponic crop yields are so much greater than the more traditional soil planted yields.This audiobook covers the following topics:Is hydroponics worth the while?Advantages and disadvantageDifferent type of hydroponic systemsAssembling the systemNutrition for hydroponic plantsWater maintenance, garden expansionIdeal pH level for your hydroponics plantsGreenhouse operationSome problems you might encounterGrowing tips and tricksAnd much moreThere are a variety of variations on the hydroponic theme and ungekürzt.
