  1. An alternative to the conventional aboveground #greenhouse with fully transparent walls is the modern #Walipini, developed in #Bolivia 2002. The #concept enables #yearround vegetable #cultivation even in temperate climate zones, as the planting beds are situated #underground, where the temperature remains nearly constant regardless of the season above. Sunlight enters through a transparent roof.

  2. Using 12 years of NASA data, I compared Daily Light Integral in Salem, Pasadena, Napa, Hawaii, Florida, and Illinois. The results explain why Salem's winter light is such a challenge--and provide the baseline for my new Apogee sensor measurements.

  3. New #garden joy! 🌷🌿🌳Battling though persistent heavy rain (which turned from atrocious to torrential) and a sea of mud in February, the brilliant team from Go Wild Landscapes in #Oxfordshire have re-modelled our garden with a wildlife pond, a wildflower patch, flowering trees and climbers, and built a spectacular gazebo from Jack's Lumber so we can sit out in all weathers and enjoy it.

    There are all kinds of interesting #plants emerging already! The #greenhouse went in last week, and now I'm ready to grow tomatoes. 🍅

    Since we moved in less that 5 months ago we've had one project after another on the go, and this completes the effort. *Phew!*

    See the second video in replies to see the garden complete! And keep watching to see our big fat orange cat Skipper. She loves it!

  4. The #genocide committed by #Israel in #Gaza continues.

    Here's what "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part" means, there:

    • 1.9 million people displaced, 90% of the population

    • 84% of Gaza now under evacuation orders

    • 745,000 people facing emergency levels of food insecurity, including 495,000 facing an extreme lack (#famine).

    • 995,000 people suffering from acute #respiratory #infections, 577,000 with acute watery diarrhea

    • 20 out of 36 #hospitals out of service

    • 21 more military strikes against schools that serve as shelters, since July 1st; as of today, 85% of all school buildings directly hit or damaged

    • 485 #health workers killed, with a further 283 #aid workers

    • 65% of the road network damaged

    • In August, one third of all humanitarian #missions applied for from Israel have been declined, so far

    • 66% of all #cropland and 33% of the #greenhouse area are damaged, 60-70% of all #livestock has been killed or prematurely slaughtered

    This is what you get when a single nation like the #US has the power to protect the openly genocidal government of #Israel under #Netanyahu from any consequences.

    You might consider donating to #UNICEF, to save toddlers and kids in #Gaza, rather than seeing your hard-earned money burned for video clips in support of #KamalaHarris - who nodded through another $20 billion weapons package for Israel, only days ago.

  5. The #genocide committed by #Israel in #Gaza seems to be "unreal" and abstract for many.

    • 65% of the road network damaged

    • In July, 30% of all humanitarian #missions applied for from Israel have been declined, or blocked or delayed on the ground

    • 66% of all #cropland and 33% of the #greenhouse area are damaged, 60-70% of all #livestock has been killed or prematurely slaughtered
