Endless application opportunities with the recently launched Elegante Veneers range from Havwoods. This is a revolutionary product using the sustainable plantation hardwood Ayous. Why is Ayous considered so sustainable? Rapid Growth: Ayous is known for its fast growth rate. In tropical regions, under favorable conditions, it can reach maturity relatively quickly compared to many other hardwood species. This characteristic contributes to its sustainability as it allows for more frequent harvests without causing depletion of the resource. Regeneration Ability: Ayous has good regeneration capabilities. The species is capable of regrowing from stumps or roots after harvesting, which can reduce the need for replanting from seeds. This regeneration ability contributes to the sustainability of Ayous forests. Versatility: Ayous is versatile in its applications. It is used in various industries, including construction, furniture, and plywood manufacturing. Its versatility makes it economically valuable, providing an incentive for sustainable management practices. Plantation Cultivation: Ayous is often grown in plantations, which allows for better control and management of the harvesting process. Plantations are designed to be sustainable by promoting responsible forestry practices, including replanting and ensuring biodiversity conservation. Low Waste Production: Ayous is known for having a relatively high yield of usable wood per tree, minimizing waste in the harvesting process. This efficiency contributes to the sustainable utilization of the resource. Low Vulnerability to Pests and Diseases: While no species is entirely immune to pests and diseases, Ayous is known for having some resistance to certain pests and diseases common in tropical regions. This can reduce the need for intensive pesticide use, promoting a more environmentally friendly and sustainable approach to forestry. Kasia Lovell Simon Whiley Jenson Calder Jarl White

Well it’s official! With the grant of a US Patent, and the U.S. Trademark “Root Boot” the Root Boot is born!! www.therootboot.com For the past three years, I’ve been working on a way to simplify the reproduction of trees and plants with a focus on fruit trees. I’ve used this in my own orchard https://lnkd.in/e7BMT3ar with great success. Finally, after many hours, a lot of testing, and the help of a few beta customers, I got it. The Root Boot is a simple device that saves on labor costs and simplifies the technique known as “Air Layering.” Air layering is not limited to fruit trees. Many different plants and trees can be propagated by this technique; we just made it easier! The Root Boot helps commercial growers meet their sustainability goals as it is reusable and doesn’t end up in the landfill after one use. Its simplicity helps reduce labor costs and its rigid construction keeps unwanted pests from destroying one’s hard work. As the Root Boot’s volume is deterministic, growers can better forecast how much propagation media they’ll need. On the hobbyist/ home gardener/ front, the Root Boot along with the horticultural ambassador, “Gighortus”, simplifies your entry into the “Gig Economy.”  Turn your home landscape into dollars. No longer will you think of just cutting and trimming your landscape and throwing it away. Put a Root Boot on it, make some plants and sell them on places like Facebook, Instagram and your other favorite social media platforms.  The Root Boot’s innovative design creates a linear indentation for the placement of a stake. Many root balls are destroyed after being potted up and having a stake added afterwards. Pop off the Root Boot, add your stake into the indentation, secure with a rubber band, then pot up your new tree without having to worry if you’re going to hit the root ball and damage it.   The Root Boot also makes for a great shipping container. Why ship soil and water with the added cost? Ship your plants in the Root Boot! The Root Boot comes in three sizes. The M20 size, which we call the Small Root Boot or the “Mini” The M40 size, which was the original, we call the Medium Root Boot. The M160 size, which was created at the request of growers, we call the Large Root Boot. All Root Boots are available in three colors, Black, Red, and Yellow. The Medium Root Boot is offered in two types: Type A and Type B. They are the same size and volume, but Type A can be used on a smaller branch. Thank you all for your support.  Warmly, Okie

Have a read of this article from University of Connecticut about the potential of Hemp as a substitute for peat moss. Peat moss is commonly found in gardening matters such as potting mixtures and has been used because of attributes that allow for successful plant growth. However, this product comes at an environmental cost. Hemp provides a solution! Hemp hurd is a by-product of turning hemp into textiles and now is being researched as a substitute for peat moss as it could provide the same/similar growth effectiveness. Here at FoodHQ we are doing a deep dive into the NZ Hemp industry and what this industry could look like in New Zealand. This is exactly the type of thinking outside the box we like to see! #sustainability #innovation #R&D #Hemp #Environment #fowardthinking #sustainable #thinkingoutsidethebox University of Connecticut Dr Victoria Hatton Selina Brightwell Ebony Leake FoodHQ Nigel Hosking Richard Barge Hemp New Zealand NZ Hemp Industries Association Inc Hemp Connect Callaghan Innovation https://lnkd.in/e_t4KH3Q

There has long been an intuitive sense that gardens and gardening are both good for us and good for promoting sustainable environmental stewardship. Despite the usual scientific caveat that more research is needed, this sense is supported by an expanding evidence base. "Viewed as socio-ecological systems, gardens are sites of horticultural management that provide an interface between people and the natural cycling of water and nutrients by plants, fungi, bacteria and archaea. Gardens are also places that can promote physical, mental and social health, through opportunities for connection with ourselves and others." http://bit.ly/3RtUHcQ Alongside expanding this evidence base, this report also identifies the need to grow the green collar skills base in horticulture and environmental science. The vital capacity to turn the evidence into action. #horticulture #gardening #sustainability #environmentalhorticulture #health #wellbeing #soilhealth #climatechange #water #people #plants

The golden rule in horticulture is "right plant, right place." We can break this down into two parts: site parameters and plant functions. Site parameters are the site conditions or restrictions. How much sunlight does this position receive? Soil type? Climate? Foot traffic? Salt? On the other hand, plant functions are what we can gain from a plant. Do we want erosion control? Shade? Biodiversity resources? We don't have to settle for just one function per plant, either. Erik van Zuilekom dropped gold on my podcast recently when he said "we want to get 5 functions out of every plant." For example, a tall callistemon hedge can provide at least these 5 functions: -screening -spring flowers for pollinators -red floral colour to invoke the passions -leaves and flowers have a nice smell -cultural importance as a native plant If you can't think of 5 benefits a plant brings, consider swapping it for something more useful or beneficial to your site goals. There are literally thousands of species to choose from, and potentially hundreds of cultivated varieties of the most popular species. Sometimes, the line between parameter and function can become blurred, and that's okay. Is a low maintenance budget a parameter or a function? It doesn't really matter, just take it into account when specifying plants.

#Horticulture Horticulture is the science, art, and practice of growing and cultivating fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, herbs, sprouts, mushrooms, algae, flowers, seaweeds, non-food crops such as grass and ornamental trees and plants.
