Vertically Integrated Farming
6 september 2024 |
17 min
There are serious benefits to raising and processing your own cattle on your own ranch. Not only does it simplify the process of slaughter, but it also consolidates roles of ranching. This, and the benefit to consumers is how vertically integrated farming has a positive impact.
Connect With Will Harris:
Will Harris is a fourth-generation cattleman, who tends the same land that his great-grandfather settled in 1866. Born and raised at White Oak Pastures, Will left home to attend the University of Georgia's School of Agriculture, where he was trained in the industrial farming methods that had taken hold after World War II. Will graduated in 1976 and returned to Bluffton where he and his father continued to raise cattle using pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics. They also fed their herd a high-carbohydrate diet of corn and soy. In the mid-1990s Will became disenchanted with the excesses of these industrialized methods. They had created a monoculture for their cattle, and, as Will says, "nature abhors a monoculture." In 1995, Will made the audacious decision to return to the farming methods his great-grandfather had used 130 years before.

They also fed their herd a high-carbohydrate diet of corn and soy. In the mid-1990s Will became disenchanted with the excesses of these industrialized methods. They had created a monoculture for their cattle, and, as Will says, "nature abhors a monoculture." In 1995, Will made the audacious decision to return to the farming methods his great-grandfather had used 130 years before.

Soil Health
4 september 2024 |

Soil health is just as important as animal health. That’s because good soil provides the best possible sustenance for cattle. Additionally, animal impact has a positive effect, as manure attracts microbial organisms that give the soil life. Will managed to convert his previously industrial-farmed soil in just 5 years to a highly productive one.

Regeneration of degraded land. Welfare to the animals. Re-enrichment of the local community. These are the three things Will Harris’ cattle company boasts, and those he is most proud of at White Oak Pastures. And people come to work on the farm, not because of the higher pay, but because of the principle behind what Will is doing.

Will Harris is a 4th generation rancher who has adapted his land to a regenerative agriculture system. The switch occurred after Will had an epiphany about the inherent problems of the industrial system of cattle ranching. Today, he uses the wisdom of his great-grandfather, and the cycles of nature to raise some of the best cattle around.

Bioacoustics with David Mann, PhD | The Beet
31 augusti 2024 |
48 min
Why do animals make sounds, and what kinds of sounds do they make? David Mann, PhD has created Haikubox in conjunction with his colleagues at Loggerhead Instruments to study just that! In this full episode of the Beet Podcast, hear him in conversation with Jacques about animal sounds, and gardening with birds.
Connect With David Mann, PhD:
David Mann, PhD earned his doctorate from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution by studying domino damselfish sounds at a Pacific atoll, and he was a faculty member at the University of South Florida. More recently, he is the Founder of Loggerhead Instruments which developed Haikubox, a tool that measures bioacoustics – the sounds that animals make to communicate. This consumer product is designed to automatically identify birds using their sounds. These boxes collect millions of birdsong recordings stored in a massive community science database which will be used for scientific discovery.

What Kinds of Birds Can I Attract to My Yard
30 augusti 2024 |
13 min
Your locale is the primary determiner of the kinds of birds you can attract to the garden. However, the population of birds changes from season to season. Sure, you’ll have resident birds, but you’ll also have seasonal and migrating birds. After you invite them in, take some time to listen and observe their behavior. You may get a better sense of the larger cycles birds are a part of.

There are many ways to provide a place for birds in the garden. Native gardens provide birds with food and nesting materials, and give gardeners some respite as they let native plants do their thing without much intervention. Grow some berries, think of seasonal timings, avoid poisons and pesticides, and watch the feathers flock!

Why Do We Want Birds in Our Garden
28 augusti 2024 |
10 min
Birds are excellent pest controllers for gardens. Chickadees, for instance, feed their chicks caterpillars every 3 minutes. That’s hundreds of caterpillars per day, some of which may have been feeding on your favorite brassica plants. Larger birds of prey manage rodent populations as well. Each bird has its own role to play in your garden.

How Do Animals Make Sounds

The ways animals make sounds may surprise you! Unlike humans, vocalizations aren’t always localized in the mouth. These may emit from muscles inside their bodies. Different sounds have different purposes too, and upon observing you may find there are many sounds you weren’t aware of before.

What is Bioacoustics
26 augusti 2024 |
10 min
David Mann, PhD invented the Haikubox with his colleagues at Loggerhead Instruments in order to learn more about animal behavior. The way they do this is by collecting bioacoustics, or the sounds produced by living organisms. This information has given researchers a better understanding of the species in an area, and their movements within the ecosystem.

You don’t need a lot of space to have your own pond. A fountainscape or pondless waterfall is easy to install on a patio. It’s even possible to have an above ground pond in a small space. With a little extra TLC, and the right balance, it will thrive.

Living the Aquascape lifestyle

Gardens without water are incomplete, according to Greg the Pond Guy. There is no feature that will change a garden more than a pond. Not only is the sound of moving water relaxing, water features bring in wildlife and insects that support the ecosystem. It’s not just the water feature, but everything it entails.

Vertically Integrated Farming
22 september 2023 |

There are serious benefits to raising and processing your own cattle on your own ranch. Not only does it simplify the process of slaughter, but it also consolidates roles of ranching. This, and the benefit to consumers is how vertically integrated farming has a positive impact.

Born and raised at White Oak Pastures, Will left home to attend the University of Georgia's School of Agriculture, where he was trained in the industrial farming methods that had taken hold after World War II. Will graduated in 1976 and returned to Bluffton where he and his father continued to raise cattle using pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics. They also fed their herd a high-carbohydrate diet of corn and soy. In the mid-1990s Will became disenchanted with the excesses of these industrialized methods. They had created a monoculture for their cattle, and, as Will says, "nature abhors a monoculture." In 1995, Will made the audacious decision to return to the farming methods his great-grandfather had used 130 years before.

Designing Native Gardens
21 juni 2022 |
11 min
Native gardens are lower maintenance because you don’t have to do a ton of enhancement to your soil as most natives thrive and adapt really well. Native plantings will spread and provide their own mulch and green cover as they age. Native plants are often tall and different than a more structured ornamental garden, so artwork or structure in the space helps people understand it is a purposefully designed area. Connect with Mary Phillips: Mary Phillips is the head of Garden for Wildlife™ at National Wildlife Federation. Mary will share about why it’s vital to grow native species, reveal the perfect plants for every region, and provide tips on how to cultivate the optimal home for local pollinators.

Powerful Native Plants for Wildlife
15 juni 2022 |
10 min
There are lots of native plants and they all have attributes that have coevolved with wildlife. Powerful native plants are the 14% that actually support 90% of butterflies and moths in a given area. Specific powerful plants that we recommend are anything in the aster family, sunflowers, and goldenrod. What is wonderful is that they bloom at different times providing nectar and foraging opportunities across three seasons. To find out what plants are native in your area, go to https://www.nwf.org/nativeplantfinder/plants Connect with Mary Phillips: Mary Phillips is the head of Garden for Wildlife™ at National Wildlife Federation. Mary will share about why it’s vital to grow native species, reveal the perfect plants for every region, and provide tips on how to cultivate the optimal home for local pollinators.

Growing Hydrangeas
12 juni 2022 |
8 min
Science and flowers are two of my favorite things. Hydrangeas make fun experiments because the color of the flower depends on aluminum uptake which is greatly influenced by the PH of the soil. Blue flowers are formed with high aluminum uptake, where an absence produces pink flowers. My favorite color is periwinkle, so I try to find the middle ground.

Sash bags are somewhat inexpensive - you can get a pack of 100 for between $5.00 - $10.00 and are perfect for small-scale gardeners who want to maximize their production organically. You can use bags around fruit like berries, tomatoes, and citrus to keep pests away from the goods. For seed collectors, you can affix the bags around flowers to allow the seeds to fully develop without being eaten or blowing away.

How to Grow Turmeric

Growing turmeric is playfully similar using a slow cooker in the kitchen. It’s a “set it and forget it” type of experience. Most of how to grow turmeric will be simple with the right growing conditions or ingredients. Turmeric requires fertile, well-drained soil in a location with lots of sunshine and ample water. It requires occasional checks to ensure soil is wet, not soggy, and periodic fertilizer much as you would layer on the spices in your slow cooker. After you patiently wait, months after planting you’ll reap your rewards. Don’t let the long growing season of 10 months scare you, as if your climate is right it requires very little care.

You’ve noticed a disturbing trend. The lower leaves on your tomato plants have developed spotting. Some are turning yellow and are falling off. And it looks like it’s spreading. If this sounds familiar, you may have just discovered septoria leaf spot. But while this is likely the most common tomato disease known to home gardeners, it’s fixable. It’s also not limited to tomatoes — it may pop up in many places you wouldn’t expect! Let’s talk about what septoria fungi are, what they cause damage to, and how to treat it. You don’t have to watch your plants drop leaves until there’s none left… you can fix this! Learn More: Septoria Leaf Spot: What It Is And How To Fix It

How to Know When Your Potatoes Are Ready
16 augusti 2019 |
7 min
Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) are grown throughout the world as a nutritious, convenient, shelf-stable food. Potatoes are the #1 most-consumed vegetable in the Americas, Europe, and Asian countries. I cannot imagine life without potatoes, can you? Potato cultivars vary in appearance, days to maturity, growth requirements, and culinary qualities. If you live in a temperate climate region like I do, your potatoes planted in late April will be ready for harvesting from mid-summer through early fall. You’ll have the best results with your potato harvest if you choose cultivars best suited for your local growing conditions and culinary interests.

Cucamelons: Grow Cute “Mouse Melons”
13 augusti 2019 |
7 min
It’s cute. It’s crisp. It’s slightly pungent. It’s the perfect, bite-size snack on a hot, muggy day. What could this garden snack-bite be? If you guessed cucamelon, you’re right! Affectionately referred to as the “world’s smallest watermelon”, the cucamelon is a vine that bears edible mini-melons about the size of grapes. The cucamelon tastes like a cucumber with a burst of citrusy tartness from the skin. Commonly known as dandita or “little watermelon” in Mexico, Melothria scabra was a domesticated crop in Central America before the Americas were colonized by Europeans. While they look like they’re a cross between a cucumber and melon, the cucamelons are their own unique plant species within the Curcurbitaceae family…and they’re an exceptionally fun crop to grow in your edible garden…so let’s learn how!

Epic Worm Food Recipe for Vermicomposting
14 januari 2019 |
7 min
Are you baffled by what to feed worms to produce great compost? Most people new to worm composting are at a loss for what goes in there, other than the obvious vegetable scraps or melon peels. Most red wigglers or European nightcrawlers will eat almost anything. The average worm will consume half its body weight in food per day. If you start with a pound of worms, they should eat a half-pound of food per day, and so on. But like all compost, what you put into it will change what the finished compost’s quality is. So let’s go over a short list of what to feed worms to supercharge your worm poop and feed your plants!
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup alfalfa meal
- 1/8 cup dried and powdered eggshells (microwave or bake these first to eliminate the risk of salmonella)
- 1/8 cup azomite

The idea of fish fertilizer may sound strange. How can fish provide a food source for my plants? But it shouldn’t come as any surprise that like all other natural products, fish can be a great fertilizer. Chock-full of vitamins, amino acids, proteins and more, fish fertilizers are organic. They offer other micronutrients which standard NPK fertilizers lack. Yes, they can have a fishy smell to them, but once diluted, the smell fades quickly. And your plants will love them. You’ll grow to love them too! Interested? Let’s dive into the wonderful world of fish fertilizers and supplements. We’ll discuss the benefits that these can provide to us. I’ve even got a great story from a pro who relates the story of his first experience making some! And even if you don’t want to make it, I can help you find places to buy it in the US and beyond.

When I first started growing plants indoors and in hydroponic systems, I had no clue what I was doing.

I decided to start with the cheapest, most basic types of light out there: compact fluorescent bulbs, or CFLs. They’re a great starting light for beginners because they’re cheap, easy to find, and do a damn good job of growing many different types of plants.

Beets have gotten a bad rep over the years as being strange red things on salad bars. But they don’t have to be, and growing beets at home is easy and fun! Available in multiple colors including a naturally-occurring striped version, beets are vitamin-packed. Full of healthy potassium, manganese, folate and vitamin B2, they’re low-calorie.

Growing "Bachelor Buttons"
29 september 2018 |
10 min
One of my favorite flowers, bachelor buttons are sometimes called cornflowers. And it’s from there that the color “cornflower blue” derives its name! Also called basket flowers, blue bonnets, blue cap and many other names, this popular plant is a hardy annual. It blooms from spring through the fall months in an array of color. Leave some of the spent flowers on the plant, and it’ll happily reseed its bed and grow again next year. But what are bachelor’s buttons, and are they all blue? Do they prefer sunlight or shade? How much water do they need? We’ll cover all this and more today as we explore the world of the bachelor’s button!

Growing "Jacob's Ladder" Plant
16 september 2018 |
8 min
Once upon a time, the Jacob’s ladder plant was called the “charity plant”, although it shouldn’t be confused with the Mahonia species that also bears that common name. It’s also been called “Greek valerian”, although it’s not a valerian. Confused yet? You shouldn’t be. Jacob’s ladder gets its common name from the ladder-like or pinnate structure of its leafy foliage. And in the spring and early summer months, it shoots up slender stalks from which hang clusters of bell-like flowers. A shade-loving variety, it has origins overseas, but is often found in the United States in garden cultivation now. It’s such an easy-growing plant that it can even be considered slightly invasive if it’s in the right environment! However, it can be maintained and kept to its beds as well. Let’s delve deep into the world of the Polemonium species, and I’ll tell you all about this beautiful perennial! Learn More: Jacob’s Ladder Plant: Growing Polemonium Caeruleum At Home

If you’re like me, storing seeds is a necessity. You may have particular flowers that you grow every year like geraniums, or a favorite kind of kale or watermelon that you love the taste of. But knowing how to store seeds is incredibly important, as poorly-stored seeds won’t germinate. No matter if the seeds are large or small, there is a proper way to store them for long periods of time. Even if you just need them to be viable until the next planting season, it’s important to have the right conditions in place! So if you found that rare seed type you’ve been looking for at long last, go ahead and grab a packet or two, and I’ll go over the best way to store seeds for long term use!

How to Grow Loquat Trees
19 juli 2018 |
13 min
Grown either as a loquat tree or a shrub, this fruiting plant is an interesting one. A relative of the rose, Eriobotrya japonica makes small fruits which taste like a blend of peaches, citrus and mango, and some describe it as having a honey note. But most people have never tasted it and know virtually nothing about this unusual fruit or the lushly-tropical tree it grows on! I’m going to fix that right now, because loquats are delicious, nutritious, and quite fun to grow if you’re in the right climate to do it. The evergreen tree is a beautiful ornamental species, but when you add on the perk of having fresh fruit, it’s definitely worth growing!

How To Grow a "Butt Plant"

Have you ever been browsing in the succulent section of a garden center, and discovered a pot with nothing more than a pair of flat-topped rocks in it? If so, you may have discovered the lithops plant, an unusual African genus of succulent. Sometimes called split rocks or pebble plants, living stone plants are extremely drought-resistant and are widely popular in low-water gardens in desert regions. They can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but outdoor growers should be careful that they don’t get too much water. The term lithops is both singular and plural, so don’t go searching for a lithop… always look for lithops. But this living stone plant is easy and fun, and definitely something different to mix into your succulent garden!

Espalier Fruit Trees for Creative Harvests
31 maj 2018 |
8 min
Have you ever wanted to grow fruit, but didn’t want to give up space in the yard for one of those heirloom apple trees? Even a crab apple might be too large? Then you will want to know about espalier fruit trees and how they’re grown! This old technique has been used on grape vines, fruit and flowering trees, and even large shrubs. Pronounced “ess-PAUL-yay”, the term originates with the French word “aspau”, meaning “a prop”, referencing the trellis that supports branches. It may also have been partially derived from the Italian term “spalliera”, which means “something to lean the shoulder against”. Espalier has been used to create low walls, lattice-pattern foliage, and best of all, flat-growing fruit trees that can live along a fenceline. It can take many years of training a tree or shrub to create the effect that you’re aiming for, but it’s so rewarding once it takes shape.

Top Tips for Amending Clay Soil
24 maj 2018 |
9 min
When I was growing up my Mom always complained to my Dad about her garden and flower beds. She would say things like “Nothing grows in this red dirt!”, or “I’m not planting anything this year, it never grows!” I always thought Mom just didn’t have a green thumb. Fast forward about twenty years, and now I understand her struggle. Digging in my flower beds and garden used to be like playing in a big mud pie that was left out in the sun to dry. The flowers and vegetable plants I planted always showed signs of being over-watered. Because yes, I have clay soil. I’ve figured out a few ways that have improved the quality of my garden and flower bed soil. These tips have made my efforts in the garden more fruitful and less back-breaking.

Growing Tomatillos Start to Finish
23 maj 2018 |
11 min
Have you ever tried growing tomatillos? Often used as part of salsa or Mexican cuisine, this relative of the cape gooseberry is a popular fruit. But what are tomatillos, really? The Mexican husk tomato, sometimes called jamberry but more commonly called tomatillo, is a strange little plant. Its fruit grows within a natural papery lantern-like husk. Once ripe, the husk splits open and the fruit of your labor is ready to use. While most tomatillo varieties have origins in Mexico, these fruits are common throughout the Americas in the wild. There are two species, Physalis ixocarpa and Physalis philadelphica, but there’s many cultivars. The greenish or purple tomatillo fruit is used in an ever-increasing number of dishes, not to mention the salsa verde we all love. Let’s talk about all of the requirements for growing tomatillos so that you can enjoy them yourself!

Dealing With Fungus Gnats
10 maj 2018 |
9 min
One of the most frustrating pests in many indoor gardens is the dreaded fungus gnat and its young, the fungus gnat larvae. These little buggers can absolutely destroy your plants if you’re not vigilant — and they can do it quickly. The primary way that fungus gnats affect your plants is through their larvae. They lay eggs in your growing medium. Once they hatch, the larvae will attach to the roots of your plants and drain them of nutrients. Although the larvae are the main negative actors, adult fungus gnats can carry disease, especially fungal diseases. These can be deadly on their own, but that’s not all. They also lay hundreds of eggs fast, which will devour plant roots! It’s absolutely essential that you stop these pests before they can take hold, whether indoors or out. The last thing you need is for your plants to succumb to a horrible fate. I’ll help you to overcome your fungus gnat woes, though. Let’s go into detail about fungus gnats and their larvae, and learn how to demolish them before they can take over!

How to Grow Wheatgrass
14 februari 2018 |
9 min
I’ll be the first to admit it. For a while, I thought wheatgrass was one of those “health nut” foods that people raved about just because they thought they were being healthy. But I knew I could grow wheatgrass myself, so I experimented with it. After I realized just how easy and fun it is to grow, and that it legitimately has some nutritional benefits, I changed my opinion on it. Sure, it’s not the panacea that some people think it is, but it’s cheap and simple to grow. Also, it’s a great addition to any juice I make with one of those fancy juicers everyone has hidden away in the cupboard. So are you ready to grow wheatgrass, too? Let’s get growing!

How to Grow Peas from A-Z
1 februari 2018 |
13 min
Have you ever wondered how to grow peas? Peas are one of those tastes that embodies spring: a little crisp, a little sweet. Knowing how to grow peas means we always have access to that wonderful flavor. But peas have an interesting history, too! Before agriculture was developed by humans, peas were a staple food that hunter-gatherer peoples would forage regularly. Interestingly, the Romans believed that fresh peas were poisonous, so they dried all peas before consumption. This was the common practice until a French gardener under the reign of King Louis XIV developed a pea hybrid called petits pois. These smaller, delicious fresh peas exploded in popularity with the king, and thus spread to worldwide appeal. While we think of peas as a vegetable nowadays, biologically the pod is considered a fruit, and the peas themselves are seeds. All peas are considered to be part of the legume family, along with beans and other podded produce. Without further ado, let’s dive into the world of growing Pisum sativum, the pea plant. We’ll go over how to grow peas, what environments are optimal, and even how to store them for eating later!

Coleus Care Guide
10 december 2017 |
10 min
Coleus is a gorgeous type of ornamental plant with a very complicated naming history! In 1763, coleus was part of the Ocimum genus. Later, it was recognized as its own genus of plants. Part of the Lamiaceae family, the genus name Coleus was eventually retired and these plants were incorporated as part of the Plectranthus genus. They’ve also been classified as Solenostemon genus, which complicates things even more. But what is coleus? Sometimes called painted nettle, they are multi-hued, stunning plants grown for their leaves rather than flowers. Excellent for either container gardening or for adoring garden beds, they offer amazing color in partial shaded areas.
