The Clueless Gardeners - A Garden Blog: July 2013
http://thecluelessgardeners.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 8, 2013. I found this guy while pulling weeds at the King St. Community Garden. Such a cool bug! Links to this post. Monday, July 1, 2013. More Chestnut Trees Found. The Chestnuts are on the south side of the road. There is a convenient place to pull a car off of the road, but the trees themselves are beyond a bunch of dense meadow growth. With two little kids and a strong sensitivity to poison ivy, I can't get any closer. But here are the pictures I was able to take from the road. I found, ...

NYC Health Department’s new campaign: Pour off the Pounds! The ever intrepid New York City Health Department launches a new campaign today. Stop drinking soft drinks or else you are “Pouring on the Pounds.”. It explains the rationale. For the campaign in a bulletin. In short, as described in the press release. Soft drinks add empty calories that nobody needs? These sound like fighting words! Antibiotics in farm animals: the fight is on. The Beverage Association responds. Almost as bad is that many replac...

Friday, April 6, 2012. Springtime in the Garden. The peas are growing. The garlic is thriving. And the asparagus is just starting to peek. The compost is ready for moving into the garden. And the garden is not ready just yet for the compost. I have a lot of work left to do this weekend to prepare the beds, but progress is being made! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to our garden! Michelle, Chris, and Gabe Clay. It's All About Change. Dont Just Sit There. . .

Root Crop Research and Ruminations. Monday, 1 December 2014. Radix Alphabetical Advent Calendar. When it comes to Christmas, I'm a bit of a "bah, humbug!

Root Crop Research and Ruminations. Monday, 10 February 2014. Mauka: Making a Meal of It. Several days ago, a lull in proceedings allowed me to get out to Oca Acres and try and tidy up what the wind had scattered. Our soil, a sticky clay, was slippery and totally unsuitable for digging. Despite this, my curiosity got the better of me and I felt the sudden and powerful urge to lift one of my mauka seedlings. Like cassava, the root is said to need careful preparation to remove what the Lost Crops of the In...

Root Crop Research and Ruminations. Thursday, 3 April 2014. I meant to publish this a while ago, but tedious distractions like earning money got in the way - c'est la vie. Received wisdom holds that there is nothing better than other people's money. I have little experience of this, remaining open to any offers you might care to make in that regard. I am, however, an enthusiastic convert to the concept of other people's greenhouses, especially when they're frost free all winter. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Root Crop Research and Ruminations. Tuesday, 31 December 2013. Numb Fumbling 2: Sagittarias Rising. The weather has been slightly cooler of late, so what better time to plunge my hands into the icy cold, muddy waters of the Sagittaria. Buckets to examine the yields. This is considerably less pleasant and more painful than oca harvesting. Perhaps the only thing in its favour is the natural buoyancy of the Sagittaria. This year I grew two varieties of arrowhead, S. latifolia,. And chi gu 慈菇,. As well as so...

Root Crop Research and Ruminations. Thursday, 28 November 2013. Numb Fumbling 1: A Tale of Two Talets. The season of mists and mellow fruitfulness is over. It is now chilly and the soil is saturated from weeks of rain. It's time once again to plunge my hands into the ground and see how the talets are faring. I find gloves to be an encumbrance when sifting through sticky soil or compost for seeds and small tubers; my hands at least must be naked when harvesting talets. I've yet to do any controlled assess...

Root Crop Research and Ruminations. Friday, 16 January 2015. Amphicarpaea - Talet Like It Is. Happy New Year. Rather than make pronouncements on the forthcoming reformation of my character and behaviour, my 2015 New Year's resolution is to abandon the concept of New Year's resolutions altogether and just get on with things. In that spirit, I am going to spend a few weeks rodding this blog's pipework in the hope of clearing the indigestible mass of half-finished posts that have been backing up. As I searc...

Agricultural and Applied Economics with a focus on Biotechnology and Natural Resources. Thursday, January 22, 2015. Fat Tails, The Precautionary Principle, and GMOs. I recently just wrote a blog post over at my applied econometrics blog (Econometric Sense) about fat tails and risk modeling. At the end of the post I mentioned Nassim Taleb's paper. Regarding the precautionary principle and GMOs ( Jayson Lusk. No, my friend. You’re likely living in a fat tail! I probably need to read the paper again and spe...
