| Allergies Can Dig Into Gardening's Fun | | 2008-04-21 07:13:00 | | (HealthDay News) -- For gardeners with allergies, it can be difficult to enjoy their passion for plants when they have to cope with the misery of sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion and, in some cases, an asthma attack."Gardening outside during times of high pollen counts puts patients at risk for severe allergic symptoms," Dr. Warren Filley, an allergist/immunologist in Oklahoma City, said in a prepared statement."Avoidance measures, as well as the use of medications and allergy immunotherapy, can make the difference between having fun in the garden and being miserable," said Filley, a long-time gardener who suffers from allergies.An allergist/immunologist can help determine which plant species are causing allergies and offer advice on the best time of day or season to work in the garden, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). For example, pollen levels are typically lower on rainy, cloudy and windless days.Gardeners can also control their allergie | | By: Integrative Medicine (CAM) Blog | | |

| Easy Year-Round Indoor Gardening with Aeroponic Growing Technology | | 2008-04-12 10:04:34 | | When it comes to growing plants indoors, many people usually think of their experiences with common houseplants growing in the potting soil that the local supermarket always have sitting out front all summer long. But that's old school. These days, it's quite possible to grow almost any plant indoors, at any time of the year, with modern no-soil-required growing technology. One of the most advanced forms of indoor no-soil-required gardening is called Aeroponics.The term "aeroponic" refers to the technique of growing plants in air instead of soil. At first this concept seems almost unbelievable. How could it be possible to grow plants in nothing but air? Here's how many aeroponic plant growing systems work:Seeds are placed in some sort of water-permeable material, like a sponge. The sponge is then suspended above a reservoir containing clean water and a nutrient solution. At periodic times throughout the day, an electric pump turns on and floods the sponge material with the nutrient-ric | | By: Home and Garden - Information on Gardening, Garden | | |

| Permaculture - Looking at Organic Gardening and Humans | | 2008-04-02 08:08:32 | | If asked to describe Permaculture as a system one would say it is a philosophy of using the land based upon the natural energy patterns and material flows from within nature. As a system It is one of the most holistic, analysis and design methodologies in our the world. Permaculture is not limited to an exact method of production, more so it is a "land use planning" philosophy of which the principles may be adapted worldwide to farms, homes, individual neighborhoods, and cities. It is site specific as such adaptable to local micro-climates, cultures, and techniques of production.The Father of the Organic Farming movement, Sir Albert Howard, was known for making logical solutions for farming problems. He focused on encouraging the incorporation of plant wastes and both human and animal manures into composts for soil conditioning. As we know today, this can be used safely to restore soil fertility. It also makes more sense than using expensive chemical fertilisers.In 1978 Bill Mollison a | | By: Home and Garden - Information on Gardening, Garden | | |
