  5. Nepenthes progressions 2021-2026

    Nepenthes are carnivorous plants under the order of Caryophyllales, making them loosely related to cacti and carnations, but also the other common carnivorous plants like Venus fly traps and sundews. There are many other plants that have learned to eat insects that aren't related though. When this happens, we call the process convergent evolution. Two different species, with the same selective pressures, ended up evolving similar systems to overcome those pressures. Think of bats and birds […]

  6. * "Weed management
    is Australia's most expensive land management problem – for both the environment and agriculture."

    "Recent research found that the cost of weed management made up more than three-quarters [81 per cent] of the total cost for recovering Australia's threatened species." >>

    * Gardeners, pastoralists and the horticultural industry love imported exotic flora. Some are illegal but plant retailers and hobbyists continue to sell these weeds.

    Some have "a dense shrub layer which excludes native plants, mainly on and near the coast, but it also transforms the habitat and, through that, deprives native wildlife of important resources. It's leaving future generations an immense burden because a lot of plants still have a long way to spread." >>

  7. This is a very long shot (and has nothing to do with history & co :sadness: ), but does anyone know of a database/book/compehensive list, or someone who might know one, about crop responses to deficit irrigation?

    Also: accessible without academic affiliation.

  8. $20m avocado packing shed upgrade halves workforce with robots
    By Georgia Loney

    Robots replace half the casual workforce and double the output capacity at one of Australia's largest avocado packing sheds.

  9. What piece of shite to start the day on social media with. I ask you, what kind of #Grifting brainless entrepreneur would think that there is any sense in sucking up 40,000 megaliters of #water a year from an #aquifer in one of the driest parts of the land on the driest #Continent on earth to stand up an **Intensive** #horticulture business there?

    We haven’t seen anything as brainless as this since the Ord River Scheme and cotton industries up North in WA. What kind of madperson even think it is a responsible thing to do? The people behind *Future Agribusiness* are nothing but #NeoLiberal predators looking to profit while raping the land. They don’t give a toss about *Country* and the fragile *ecosystems* on land *Never Ceded* . But I do. In fact, the mojority of this society does care about the land and what is bieng done to it in the name of #NeoLiberalism and #NeoColonialism.

    Where is our *Environmental Protection Agency* in all this? Recovering from #Labor Govt death blows no doubt. There is no coming back from this kind of #pillage. Good grief, this is just insane. Here’s hoping the Courts (in reflecting the will of the broader society while adjuticating) will see true justice (in #fascist NT) applied to the benefit of all and not just a few madhats looking to cash up.

  10. #CamdenME - #Workshop#NeedleFelted Mushrooms with Sam Coon

    June 6 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

    Ages 12+
    Class fee: $27 Members, $30 Non-Members
    Materials fee: $5 paid to instructor
    Beginner+

    To Register, please call (207) 236-2239. Registration fees are non-refundable. Children under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult.3

    Description:

    "Whether used as a lovely sculpted display, an ornament, or even as a pincushion, needle felted mushrooms are a fun project to create for all levels: those starting out, and those already familiar with the process. Class instruction will include wool types used, needle safety precautions and proper use, how to create a form using core wool, and adding exterior details with #DyedWool. Examples will be provided, such as fly agarics, boletes, chanterelles, and russulas. Students will be able to complete 1-2 mushrooms by the end of the class session, depending on the size and details.

    "Sam Coon is a self-taught #FiberArtist, and has been making felt since being introduced to both needle felting and wet felting in 2009.

    "Much of her inspiration is gleaned from the natural environment, particularly patterns, colors, and shapes. From there, various types of items are created including vessels, wall art pieces, sculptures, jewelry, and wearable felted items that are nuno felted. In these art forms, she uses wool fibers that have not been spun or woven, such as Merino or Corriedale. In many instances, fabric, silk and viscose fibers are incorporated to change the textural quality of the felt and for added dimension.

    "What particularly stands out the most to her, when working with wool to make felt, is that the sculptural qualities of wool are impressive, making creative possibilities seemingly endless. Along with working in the studio, she also regularly teaches needle and wet felting classes at varying locations and age groups.

    "This workshop is generously co-sponsored by Camden Riverhouse Hotel.

    "#Merryspring is your community nature center offering #WalkingTrails, cultivated #gardens, #wildlife, and #ecology and #horticulture educational programs all year round. The park is located at the end of Conway Road, just off of Route 1 in Camden behind Hannaford Shopping Plaza."
