On golf courses in Japan, it is customary to have the distributor make the application of pre-emergent herbicides and preventative fungicides to large areas (tees/fairways/rough). Read more about the interesting machines used, and about how this system works (and how much it costs), in this new post. #TurfTourism

Hello friends and family! You know how you re-create yourself again and again throughout your life, and then one day a little voice whispers in your ear, “pursue vegan fertilizer.” Right? Like all the time. 😉 Probably not an everyday occurrence. That’s made all the the more true because this is the first vegan fertilizer company ever! The Kickstarter 🐈⬛ launches tomorrow and goes for a month. Having a great first week is super important so as soon as you see that post, please click through and donate any amount. It’s not a cliché - really every bit helps - especially in terms of traffic and supporters to my Kickstarter site. The more people you have who support you, the more likely you are that Kickstarter will put you onto their list of favorite things and send you out in an email blast. So please give whatever you can and please encourage others to do so by sharing with your community. Thank you for always being so supportive of me and my family and my dreams! And now for animals and the future of organics.

We've detected more cyano-harmful algal blooms locally than ever before. These type of blooms have the potential to produce toxins that damage livers or nervous systems of people, pets, or livestock. As we enter into a fun holiday weekend, we want to remind people to stay safe! Always wear your lifejacket when paddling, and before you start your water recreation adventures check for reports of harmful algal blooms. It might be a CyanoHAB bloom in surface water if you see: -Strongly colored water (blue-green, green, yellow, white, brown, purple, or red). -Paint-like appearance. -Floating mats or scums. People, pets, and livestock should avoid contact (this includes fishing, paddling, and swimming) with any floating mats, scums, or discolored water. Learn more about harmful algal blooms at the link. https://lnkd.in/gy942P65

"The Successful Aquacultural Practice Catfish Series" Day 14 Topic: Pond Cleaning Pond cleaning is very important I would want us to perceive pond cleaning as doing dishes. However frequently you decide to clean your pond will determine the health status of your fishes. One of the best time one can decide to clean a pond is during the sorting period. It is obvious that sorting is carried out multiple times during the production, sometimes up to four times during the production. so that is you have an opportunity to wash your ponds four times during the production. Selecting a specific date for washing of the pond can also be effective for example washing your pond once in every month that also can be effective. Here are the following reasons why you need to clean your pond: •You need to clean your pond to get rid of the accumulated ammonia •Should in case you're using an outdoor pond, you need to clean your pond to reduce the amount of algae, this algae compete with the fishes for oxygen •Ensure an enabling and healthy environment for the fishes •To disinfect the pond. To wash your ponds you need the following basics such as: Brush, sponge, bowl, e.t.c Soap can be used in washing the pond but it should be added in minute quantity and the pond must be flushed continuously before the fishes are introduced, or probably you can leave the pond for a while so that the effect of the soap will reduce The soap serve as a disinfectant, other disinfectant can also be used after washing (chlorine, formalin, salt). When chlorine and formalin are used it is strongly adviced that the pond be abandoned for a couple of days to ensure the chemicals wear off. Advantages of pond cleaning: •Reduce stress •The fishes are happy •The fishes feed well •The water quality (dissolved oxygen) does not get used up faster •The fishes are not at risk of contracting diseases. Hope you learnt something Your questions are welcomed. Cheers 🥂 #fisheriesmanagement #fishfarming #fisheries #fishfarm #aquaculture

What does sustainability mean to me? Sustainability is more than just a buzzword, it's a way of life for farmers. This includes environmental, economic, & societal aspects. It's caring about the health of the land, water, & air not only because we live on the land we farm, but because it's the right thing to do. It's leaving the environment better than when we found it, so the next generation can continue to farm. It's ensuring the quality & safety of the products we produce, not just because it feeds our family, but because it also feeds yours. It's animal welfare, not just because healthy, happy animals produce more high-quality wholesome products, but because it's the right thing to do for our animals & for you. It's being involved in our community. It's mentoring youth. It's talking with the public. It's being good neighbors. It's about being a good person. It's combing environmental stewardship, food safety, animal welfare, & community to create a viable business. So we can invest back into our farm & provide wholesome food into the future. What does it look like? Sustainability does not just look one way. Every farm has a different approach to sustainability with what works for their farm. It can look like: 💚Feeding byproduct feeds to cows to reduce food waste. (Ex. Soybean meal, dries distillers grains, almond hulls, bakery waste, ugly veggies, etc.) 💚Recycling ♻️ water to help cool milk, drinking water for cows, flushing barns, & to provide nutrient-dense irrigation for crops 🌾 💚Our compost-bedded pack, which is made primarily of sawdust recycled ♻️ from furniture manufacturing. It's comfy for our cows & composts so we can fertilize our fields & improve the soil health & crop/pasture quality. 💚Our intensive-rotational grazing system, which provides high-quality forage for our cows & improves soil health. Sustainability is more than just a buzzword, it's our way of life. #animalwelfare #animalrights #wildlifeconservation #animalbehavior #animalhealth #animalcare #endangeredanimals #animalrescue #petcare#veterinarymedicine #dairyfarming #dairyindustry #dairyfarmer #dairyproducts #agriculture #farming #cattlefarming #milking #animalwelfare

This year, World Bee Day, celebrated yesterday, focused on the theme "Bee Engaged with Youth." Recognising the power young people hold to shape our future, the campaign aimed to raise awareness among them about the importance of bees and inspire them to become environmental stewards. 🐝 Nearly 90% of our wild flowering plants depend on animal pollination 🐝 Over 75% of the world's food crops rely on bees and their busy work Intensive farming practices, habitat loss due to land-use changes, and the overuse of pesticides have all contributed to a decline in bee populations. This decline poses a serious threat to our food security and the health of our planet. By taking simple actions, we can all make a difference. 🌼 Planting a variety of native flowers that bloom throughout the year creates a bee buffet, providing them with a steady source of food 🌼 Supporting local beekeepers by buying raw honey helps sustain healthy bee populations 🌼 Small changes in our gardening practices, like avoiding pesticides and herbicides, can create a haven for these vital pollinators Let's all "Bee Engaged" and work together to ensure a healthy and vibrant future for bees and our planet! #WorldBeeDay #BeeEngaged #UnitedNations #echichemovement #environmentalaction

GRAPHIC WARNING. I take no pleasure in sharing this information. These images, and many more like them, haunt me. The trauma and horror inflicted on animals by the billions every day is too much for our brains to comprehend. Not to mention what that does to our hearts. But maybe you can reserve a little section of your heart, protected but vulnerable, to feel empathy for these stock animals. Send love to suffering animals from your tender soul, vow to be open to a different truth, and you may find out there’s something you can do. There’s always something we can do. This is what happened to me. I went looking for information on how organic fertilizer animal inputs are made and WOW. It was so much worse than I could have imagined. This is not the legacy or future of organic fertilizers. This is not the legacy of organic gardening or regenerative gardening or sustainable gardening or permaculture gardening. If these things are important to you, please consider supporting my 11/11 Kickstarter. 🐈⬛ Plant-based fertilizers can be a game changer. It’s a small thing for us, but it could be a huge shift for animal rights, as well as an important climate action. Funny how those things go together! Animals cannot be bred, raised and killed for the sake of having something to fertilize our plants with. This is not waste. This is not a circular economy. This is downright dangerous. Thank you for your support. Please follow and share. We need all the voices! And get yourself some vegan cosmetics. Do you really want to put that grease on your face? 😱 #vegan #veganic #plantbased #organicvegetables #plantparent #climateaction #soilhealth #climatetech #sustainability #permaculture #regenerativeagriculture #houseplantsofinstagram #urbanagriculture #veganhomesteading #groworganically #growyourown #foodnotlawns #veganlife #veganism #thefutureisvegan #homegarden #accountability #transparency

https://bit.ly/3Jw7JlP 📢 Call to Action: Stop the World's First Octopus Farm! 🐙 Nueva Pescanova's plans to build the world's first octopus farm in Spain ignore animal cruelty concerns and pose significant threats to wildlife, the environment, and public health. We urge Nueva Pescanova to scrap this aberration and uphold its corporate sustainability claims. 🐬 Dolphins, turtles, and local marine life are at risk due to potential threats from the farm, including water pollution and CO2 emissions. Nueva Pescanova's environmental report lacked critical information, making it impossible for the Government to assess the impact on the environment and public health. 💡 Action: Show your support by signing the petition and sharing this post. Let's protect our oceans and the creatures that call them home. 🌊🐠 #OctopusFarm #AnimalWelfare #ciwf #Sustainability #LinkedInPost References: [1] https://bit.ly/3Jw7JlP[5] https://lnkd.in/di_FVPfR Citations: [1] New threats of octopus farm plans revealed https://bit.ly/3Jw7JlP [2] How to write a long form post on LinkedIn https://lnkd.in/dGC-dc9S [3] How to Add a Link to a LinkedIn Post - YouTube https://lnkd.in/dSsjc-vD [4] Free LinkedIn Post Generator [FREE TOOL] - Hootsuite https://lnkd.in/dUHrSWx3 [5] How Long Should a LinkedIn Post Be?

Remember a few days ago I talked about our favorite brand of coconut milk, Cha's Organics. This is because they believe in saving animals, not enslaving them. That’s why they never have and never will use slave monkey labor to harvest their coconuts. They guarantee their supply chain is free from cruel animal abuse. Only supporting organic and fair trade Sri Lankan farmers. Cha’s Organics is a Canadian company based in Quebec with Sri Lankan roots where they source their coconuts. They have also partnered with the award-winning Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society (SLWCS), donating 1% of all coconut milk and cream sales to help protect Sri Lanka’s wild elephants. On top of all that, they source their upcycled paper packing from Sri Lankan women living in disadvantaged rural villages. Talk about an empowering quadruple bottom line: purpose, people (yes nonhuman animals have personhood too), planet, profit. In a world where the choices we make as consumers become increasingly critical yet complex, Cha’s Organics is proud to offer some of the best options available. Better for your tastebuds, better for the monkeys, better for the elephants, better for the farmers/communities, better for the environment. What’s not to love? Let’s keep our choices personal. Personal choices end when intentionally victimizing others begins. Instagram reel 👉 https://lnkd.in/gSyExRmK 👈 Fair for Life Canada Organic Trade Association #coconutmilk #coconuts #coconut

🌞 Dive into Summer Pond Care with These Essential Tips! 🌿💧 As the temperatures rise, it's important to keep your pond in top shape to ensure a season of blissful enjoyment for you and your aquatic friends. Here are three common pond issues to avoid this summer: ❌ Overfeeding: With fish becoming more active in the summer, it's tempting to feed them more. However, overfeeding can lead to excess organic waste and nutrient buildup, fueling algae blooms and compromising water quality. 🐟🍽️ ❌ Predator Activity: As nature awakens, so do predators! Keep an eye out for birds, raccoons, and other animals that may target your fish or disrupt the tranquility of your pond. 🦅👀 ❌ Aquatic Plant Growth: While aquatic plants are beneficial for shading the pond and competing with algae, excessive growth can lead to oxygen depletion and nutrient imbalances. Keep plant growth in check to maintain a balanced ecosystem. 🌿💧 Keep your pond paradise thriving all summer long with our range of biological aquaculture products, especially our Superbugs line - designed to degrade decaying organic matter, improve water clarity and quality, and increase the beneficial microbial population, keeping your water crystal-clear and your fish happy! 🐠 Shop all of our specially formulated products through the link in our bio and start enjoying your summer right away! #SummerPondCare #BiologicalAquaculture #HealthyEcosystem #SustainableAquaculture #SeasonalPondCare #BioRemediation #HealthyPonds #HealthyEcosystems #AquaticHealth #AquaticLife #EcoFriendlySolutions #PondCare #WaterQuality #FishTankMaintenance #PondMaintenance #HoldingTanks #KoiPond #Aquarium #CleanWaterSolutions
