  1. #ClimateResilient #Gardening: How to Adapt Your Garden to #ExtremeWeather

    ECO gardener, Nov 14, 2024

    Excerpt: "Gardening in Extreme Weather

    Gardening in extreme weather can be challenging, but with the right strategies, you can protect plants and maintain a healthy garden:

    Choose Weather-Resistant Plants
    Opt for #DroughtTolerant, heat-resistant plants in hot climates (like succulents or lavender) and hardy, cold-resistant species in colder climates (like kale or coneflowers).

    Use #Mulch to Retain Moisture and Insulate
    Applying a thick layer of organic mulch helps regulate soil temperature and retain moisture, making it essential in both hot and cold conditions.

    Install #ShadeCloth or Row Covers
    In intense heat, a shade cloth can protect plants from direct sun, while row covers offer frost protection during cold spells.

    Water Smartly
    For hot weather, water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and avoid wetting foliage. In winter, water during the day when temperatures are above freezing to help roots absorb moisture before the ground freezes.

    Consider #RaisedBeds
    Raised beds help with drainage in #WetClimates and can warm up faster in colder weather, giving plants a more stable growing environment.

    Wind Protection Strategies
    Use windbreaks like shrubs, fencing, or netting to shield plants from damaging winds that can dry out or freeze foliage.

    Invest in Hardy #ContainerGardens
    For extreme weather, container gardens are versatile—easily moved to sunny spots, shady areas, or even indoors as needed. [I do this with tomatoes and other plants]

    Optimize Soil Health
    Healthy, well-drained soil holds moisture better in heat and protects roots from frost damage in winter. Regularly add compost to enrich soil.

    Use #ColdFrames or #Greenhouses
    These structures create a controlled environment, extending the growing season and protecting plants from temperature extremes.

    Keep an Eye on Weather Patterns
    Staying informed about sudden temperature changes can help you take timely action, like covering plants or adjusting watering schedules.

    With these tips, you can create a resilient garden that adapts to extreme weather challenges while keeping your plants thriving."

  6. Made some staging for my potting shed. All the wood came out of skips. The only cost was £3.29 for the screws. The red wood preservative I already had, probably used about 50 pence worth. Need to go on a sowing binge now and get it filled up. #allotment #greenhouses #SeedSowing #making #recycling #SkipDiving

  12. This ancient knowledge is making a comeback in houses, but where it is really making a huge impact is in greenhouses. Even in colder climates where temperatures can reach -40c(-40f), passive solar designs are enabling greenhouses to run all-year.

  17. Greenhouses are a treat for the senses. They smell so earthy -- it's the combination of damp soil, plants, and flowers. And they're so visually pleasing and peaceful. See my gallery at 9-karl-johnson.pixels.com

  18. Some "decommissioned #CoalPlants — sites that still sit in the center of webs of power lines could onboard future clean power onto the grid while avoiding the roadblocks around permitting new transmission corridors.

    The Geomap researchers found that many of the West’s sites — #greenhouses, #meatpacking facilities, chemical plants and #DataCenters — sit atop heat that could be tapped directly, without needing to generate electricity, which is a cheaper proposition."

  19. "The study addresses the multifaceted challenge of managing greenhouse-related light pollution, which emerges as an unintended consequence of employing supplementary lighting to extend growing seasons and enhance crop yields."
