9 Plants That Keep Bugs Away: Nature's Best Pest Control | Florgeous

Bugs eating your plants can be really annoying. One way to control this problem is to plant crops into your garden which repel insects and bugs from eating your produce.

SOIL EROSION

Soil erosion and land erosion causes cliff faces to buckle and houses to collapse into the ocean. People could be displaced with nowhere to go. With global warming we are experiencing massive wipe outs of countries and communities. People living on the coast experience storm surges, coastal erosion, saline intrusion and submerge. Coral bleaching and a reduction in tourist number and ocean acidification are other problems which erosion of soil and land can cause.

Climate change is projected to slow down economic growth and exacerbate poverty in countries. Water stress, population growth and other deprivations force poor people in urban areas to slip from transient to chronic poverty, which could cause malnutrition from food price increases. Rapid urbanization has led to the growth of large cities, and extreme weather events could cause vulnerable people and the communities living in slums or informal settlements. These risks could have a wide negative impact on people and their health, their livelihoods and assets.

Food security could be caused through climate change, access to food restricted and there could also be a shortage due to floods and fires. Climate is just part of our life. As we walk outside our front doors, we are confronted with climate. That is part of our lives and has been for years and is probably the only thing which goes on forever. Our imports and exports are important due to our communication and trade for financial means with other countries. Countries offer something different and offer a necessity for food and minerals which are needed for life. Many parts of the world are rich in commodities, which provide a stable necessity for human and animal survival. As prices are placed on tariffs, so does the price on goods and services. As these are necessary for consumers, they could be paying more for essential food items including basics such as water.

Climate change can cause vector born disease such which can be detrimental to our survival. Many of these diseases, occur due to rainfall patterns and changing temperatures, which alter water temperatures and atmospheric conditions and biodiversity of both land and sea. Warmer temperatures, become breading grounds for insects. Animals and plants, which live in the ocean need salty water. As water melts this precious ecosystem could be in danger and die out, due to its chemical composition. Coral reefs which are full of thriving life, could die out. Control interventions and socio-economic developments from these countries assist them.

Rising sea levels tell us that the Antarctic melted 20% in nine days as a result of temperature reaching 20 degrees Celsius for several days. The ice frozen in glaciers and at the poles is melting into the oceans. As the worlds ocean levels rise this loss could cause problems in general and affect many coastal villages from making a living in the fish industry. with a lack of fish, their livelihoods would dwindle. Many species could become extinct, including us humans. There is also another argument to these occurrences apparently. This is being seen in countries such as Africa, where uncertainties and land formations and sea formations are forming.

HOW DOES THIS PLANT GROW?

Gardening is rewarding because of the things a person can create. Not only a flower crop or display, but a vegetable garden can also supply a whole family livelihood, until the crop is harvested. Landscape design and creation sees the execution of a plan you created or designed. If it is constructed according to the original design, then this satisfaction is even more rewarding. Whether you're a home gardener or designer, or a market gardener, the creation of a produce which you create is a great sense of achievement, as is overcoming the hurdles, such as pests and bugs enjoying the fruits of your labor. Not all things go to plan, but it is an accomplishment to discover new devices and techniques to achieve something and make it easier to achieve.

Any fertilizers with nutrients which enrich the ground, such as phosphorus, nitrogen and other varieties can be brought from the local shop or hardware store. Composts are an excellent idea, because of the enriched content created from home products, whether it was made from a hot or cold compost the results are similar. An enriched nutrient base for any soil, which is added before the crop or seeds are planted. It is also a good idea to check the quality of the soil you are going to plant your crops.

This is important to know, because some crops only grow in alkaline or acidic soil conditions. It is possible to alter the composition of your soil content, before planting your crop if you know this.

I have written some newsletters, which I have published on this gardening website. The information on "Preparation of the soil", is a must for any beginning gardener, unaware of what is needed. The guidance in these, will give you a good chance to not only grow your crop, but grow it bug free and produce a healthy harvest and family enjoyment.

Below is a video I found on a You tube channel, also offering some excellent advice and guidance.

11 Best Soil Test Kits Review and How To Use | Florgeous

Before planting a crop always study what the plant needs to survive, such as light, moisture and what soil is your ground made up of? Is your soil clay, loam, sandy or chalky, peaty, or silty? You need to prepare your soil appropriately, with fertilizers, and minerals necessary for your ground, before you plant your crop. Watering should be just right, with six to eight hours of sunshine daily. If your garden is in an extremely hot area, covering a plant for protection from the direct sun is a good idea, especially when your crop is growing. The sun's rays can destroy your crop, if it is a very hot day. Planting a crop in an area of your garden that receives the same amount of sun, but isn't as hot, is preferable.

Irrigation is necessary, whether it be from a tank with a stored supply of rainwater, or water from a hose or a ground system on top of the ground, this needs to be decided before you begin.

Test your soil's moisture by picking up the soil and feeling how damp, it is when you make a ball out of it. Sandy soil doesn't make a ball. You either plant crops that like your ground's soil and consistency, or alter the soil's pH value by adding nutrients, compost to improve the density, and fertilize the soil's thickness so it can hold water and take up the nutrients into the plant's root system. Once you have become familiar with the type of soil you are going to work with, testing its pH is necessary. Planting the wrong crop without taking into consideration whether the crop grows well in the alkaline or acidic ground, can be the difference between harvesting a crop and the crop not growing.

Tree Preservation & Management

What is tree preservation and management?

This article talks about the benefits of tree preservation, as opposed to deforestation. Trees are good for the environment, because they create a new habitat for flora and fauna to thrive and house animals and insects, of many species. Biodiversity is good for land, trees and forests, and trees are vital for our environment. They clean the air, provide habitat for wildlife, and add aesthetic value to landscapes amongst other things. They have been around for many thousands of years. Deforestation is clearing land or forests, by cutting down the trees. This can be done for many reasons, but quite often a new building development is going to be constructed, such as a new township, or some type of land development, which requires a new landscape. This type of development does take some years to plan. There are reports which need to be submitted to local councils, and governments before the development can begin. This type of project needs ideas and input from interest groups, and the public these days, along with policy makers. Funds also need to be allocated to any project. If a large are of land is to be cleared, the trees and vegetation are removed by loggers. While this is an exciting venture taking place, the benefits of the trees being there also provide great benefit to the environment. Not only do they take up carbon dioxide from the environment, but they supply oxygen for the surrounding environment to live. They encourage a healthy ecosystem, with its lush green vegetation and large sprawling environment and grass areas, which add to the beauty of the areas natural survival.
