The World is Running Out of Topsoil

The world may be running out of usable topsoil, the layer that allows plants to grow. According to an article in Time World5, soil erosion and degradation rates suggest we have only about 60 remaining years of topsoil. Forty percent of the world's agricultural soil is now classified as either degraded or seriously degraded; the latter means that 70 percent of the topsoil is gone. Our soil is being lost at 10 to 40 times the rate it can be replenished, and our food production systems are to blame, which epitomizes the term "unsustainable." It takes decades or even centuries to regenerate significant levels of soil.

Agriculture accounts for 70 percent of our fresh water use. When the soil is unfit, water is wasted—it washes right through the soil and past the plant's root system. We already have a global water shortage that's projected to worsen over the next 20 to 30 years, so this is the last thing we need to compound it. Soil degradation is projected to cause 30 percent loss in food production over the next 20 to 50 years—while our global food demands are expected to increase by 50 percent over this span of time.

Many don't realize that soil is alive and has an incredible diversity of microorganisms. One handful of soil contains more microbes than the number of people who have ever lived on our planet.

These organisms create a powerful synergy with the plants and recycle organic material, making the soil more resilient and better at holding water and nutrients, and better at nurturing plants. Microbes need carbon for food, and we're depleting our soil of this element by using chemical fertilizers, overgrazing, over-plowing, and burning stubble in fields to accelerate crop turnover. Add to this genetically engineered crops, and our soil is dealt another deathblow.

INSIDE SCIENCE NEWS, NOVEMBER 24,2012------Plants aren't typically known for their speed.

But the carnivorous Venus flytrap can close its jaw-like leaves in the blink of an eye. Charles Darwin once referred to the Venus flytrap as "one of the most wonderful plants in the world." But despite the plant's notoriety, its closing mechanism remains a mystery 250 years after its discovery.

Biophysicists at the Ecole Polytechnique Universitaire de Marseille, in France, are investigating the cellular process behind the Venus flytrap's rapid response to prey. The researchers have already thrown out one popular explanation for the Venus flytrap's quick motion, that water movement within the plant makes its jaw snap. They announced this finding in San Diego at a meeting of the American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics.

"This is the first time someone has looked at how Venus flytraps move on the cellular level," said biophysicist and lead researcher Mathieu Colombani. "We are looking for an explanation that's both biologically and physically possible."

Venus flytraps are native to the coastal bogs of North and South Carolina. The bogs' soil lacks the proper nutrients -- particularly nitrogen and phosphorus -- for plants to grow. The plant manages to survive in this tough environment by trapping and digesting insects in order to fulfill their nutritional needs.

"In these bogs you see a lot of carnivorous plants that rely on animals and insects for nutrients," said biophysicist Jacques Dumais of the Universidad Adolfo Ibanez in Chile.

When an insect is drawn into one of the plant's traps, it tickles a small, hair-like outgrowth on the inside of the leaf. When two different outgrowths are triggered in short succession, a rapid process triggers the leaves to shut, trapping the insect in as little as one-tenth of a second.

As the insect struggles to escape, it triggers even more outgrowths, causing the Venus flytrap to tighten its grip and release enzymes to digest its snack. Each "mouth" can only snap shut four or five times before it dies, whether it catches something or not.

In 2005, scientists discovered the large-scale principle behind the plant's bite. Each leaf pops from convex to concave as it closes, like a jumping popper toy or an inverted contact lens.

"A Venus flytrap is like two popper toys put together," said Colombani. "Once the process is started, the two leaves snap together very quickly."

When the plant's leaves are separated, the trap is in a stable equilibrium and remains open. Once the plant's prey springs the trap, some internal process in the plant upsets the system, causing the two leaves to quickly snap together. Identifying this internal process is the focus of Colombani's research.

"The Venus flytrap's movements are as much a biological process as a physical process," said Dumais. "Colombani's work is a really wonderful attempt to understand everything from beginning to end."

Currently there are several theories on how the Venus flytrap's leaves become unstable.

The researchers were able to rule out one popular theory, which suggests that cells on the inside of the plant's leaves transfer water to cells on the outside of the leaves. The resulting cell size change would alter the shape of the leaves, possibly causing them to quickly destabilize and pop together. Colombani's team looked at the pressure change inside a single cell as the leaves snapped shut.

"It's difficult because you need to stay focused on a single cell and the plant's leaves move very quickly," said Colombani.

To solve this problem, the researchers creatively used blue dental paste to glue one of the Venus flytrap's leaves to an anchored plastic fork. This setup kept the leaf from moving and made focusing on a single cell possible. They found that the movement of water between the inner and outer cells was far too slow to be responsible for the plant's rapid movements.

"It takes a few seconds for each cell to relax, which means that it would take about two minutes for the plant to close," said Colombani. "This doesn't seem like a good candidate for a mechanism that takes less than a second."

The researchers are currently testing another popular explanation that says the elasticity of the plant's cell walls changes, causing the leaves to destabilize and snap together. Colombani says that whatever the mechanisms behind the remarkable plant's bite are, they could have potential applications in medicine or other fields.

We spent three hours, andone of the things I really took note of is that there are quite a few "wooly" caterpillars.  Some caterpillars go through several changes (instars) which includes different color band widths.  That's why we see different colors of them.  Ah ha!  Is it a mystery solved?

Read down in this link to Folklore:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctiidae

PS:  I ate a cricket in a piece of chocolate (delicious) and a mealworm (horrible rice) in a piece of Sushi.  I didn't even have to stay at a Holiday Inn Express!  

They have it once a year and I can almost guarantee you will not find a better display of every insect know to mankind, although we could not find anyone who had a Coccineal insect or a Drugstore Beetle.  They had all kinds of displays, activities and a little food including ice cream from the Penn State Creamery.  We opted to go to the Arboretum and then the Creamery and couldn't get in .  The line was clear across the front of the building and around the corner heading back to the parkign garage.

This came from Doug Green's Garden website.  I'm assuming he's south of us but then we've had much warmer temperature averages this year so maybe some of this will apply:

1) Bulbs are on retailer's shelves.  Buy them but do NOT plant them until late October.  If you plant them early, they may very well bloom this fall and not next year.

2) Shrubs and some bulbs are already blooming out of season - spring bloomers blooming again this fall kind of thing.  Here's the deal - if a spring-blooming shrub blooms now - the buds that bloom now, won't bloom again in the spring.  Those buds that don't bloom now, will bloom in the spring.  So you're getting a sporadic bloom now and again next spring.  In other words, you get one bud and one bloom from it per year.  If it blooms prematurely to give you two in a year, it's going to skip a year.

With bulbs it's a bit more complicated.  Most bulbs will not bloom twice but if they do, most bulbs will not flower in year two but will again in year three.  So if your daffodil blooms this fall, relax, enjoy the bulb and wait for it to rebloom the year after next.  But...

Except for tulips.  If those bloom in the fall, you can be pretty sure they'll never bloom again (unless you live in a bulb producing region and then you might have a chance)

It's too late to spray with preventive sprays now but it may become necessary if you want a ripe usable tomato in the fall of 2013.  Crop rotation, healthy soil, no previous Late Blight and clean plants all used to get you through the season but in the last couple of years something has happened.  You get it now where it was never seen before.

It could be our warmer summers, or it could be a new nastier strain.

Just be ready to pull everything including dropped leaves or fruit in case you see even a small lesion.  Burn or trash bag everything.  If you have unblemished tomatoes cook them immediately whether red or green.  Do NOT preserve them.

There seem to be many more of these around this year than I have noticed before. The large black and yellow spiders in the webs are females.

Female body length is ½ to 1.1 inches. Males don’t look at all like the females. They are MUCH smaller and brown.

The Black and Yellow Argiope is one of the largest members of the orb weaver family.

Season - Males mature around July and August, females from August to October.

Web - Large, vertical, orb-shaped web is usually built amid tangled grasses, weeds, briars, and other vegetation, from near ground level to about three feet above it.  Web usually decorated with a bold, zigzag band of silk called a stabilimentum. Spider occupies hub (center) of web, hanging head down. The web is usually eaten and rebuilt every day, with the exceptions of the periods around molting and egg-laying.

They were healthy not long ago and then all of the sudden the leaves started to shrivel and the centers wither up and die. We have looked and do not see any insects of any sort.

The tomatoes are doing great though.

In the pics you can see some have healthy leaves and leaves that looked wilted. Then other plants look as though they have been trimmed almost to the stem..  ]]> Thu, 2 Aug 2012 15:39:39 Gator11 http://www.godubois.com/cgi-bin/blah/index.cgi/index.cgi?m-1343867307/ http://www.godubois.com/cgi-bin/blah/index.cgi/index.cgi?m-1343867307/#num1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_worm

I can't find anything on the internet, but I'm wondering if Jewelweed might have been nicknamed Bucktail at some time in the past.  It does help clear up itchy rashes, including poison ivy.  The leaf does have the shape of a deer's tail.

Jewelweed or Touch-Me-Not

Impatiens capensis (and its closely-related sibling, Impatiens pallida, or Pale Touch-Me-Not) 1) a showy bright orange flower about one inch long, which requires pollination by insects or hummingbirds and 2) a much smaller, inconspicuous flower that self-pollinates.  

Once the flowers fade, I. capensis produces seed pods that fling seeds up to nine feet away when touched - the reason for the name, "Touch-Me-Not."  The plants can grow up to 5 feet tall and are found in moist places like ditches and near streams.  In spite of their size, the plants are actually annuals, growing from seed each year.

I. capensis leaves can be crushed and used to relieve the itching caused by poison ivy and athlete's foot (by rubbing them on the affected area).  The berries are toxic, if ingested.

Beauregard and Covington seem to be the best for the Jefferson County area.  However they require much more heat, a longer growing season and a sandier soil that an average white potato.  Proper preparation is the key to growing sweet potatoes in our colder climate and shorter growing season.

Rooted seed slips can be purchased or started indoors a month before the last frost then set into a pre-warmed bed in the garden which can be protected from late frosts.  

Proper soil tilth and quality should be determined by doing a Penn State Soil Test which can be purchased for $9 at the Jefferson County Extension Office in Brookville.  Tests may take 2-4 weeks to come back so test as soon as possible.

The plant is doing good, but I do not know what to with it now. If I could identify it, I'd know if I have to plant it outside or keep it in but get it in a larger pot.

I start the sweet ones at 8 weeks, probably April 2 this year.  The really hot ones go in a week earlier.  Be sure to keep them in a larger container than you might think they need if you're having rooting or watering problems.  I use regular 8 oz styrofoam cups and pot them up just as soon as possible.  If you need them started for you just let me know.  I've never started that particular kind but it can't be much different from other peppers.  Even the best raised pepper seedlings are afffected by our weather.  Just put them in the hottest and driest location you have, and mulch them well.  I think it helps.   Do a soil test to make sure your soil isn't depleted.  I can't stress the soil test enough!!!

I'll copy this to the Gardening and Nature forum. Then maybe other people can contribute some more information.]]> Tue, 6 Mar 2012 23:17:01 Petee http://www.godubois.com/cgi-bin/blah/index.cgi/index.cgi?m-1330712659/ http://www.godubois.com/cgi-bin/blah/index.cgi/index.cgi?m-1330712659/#num1 Fri, 2 Mar 2012 13:24:19 Golddust http://www.godubois.com/cgi-bin/blah/index.cgi/index.cgi?m-1330417232/ http://www.godubois.com/cgi-bin/blah/index.cgi/index.cgi?m-1330417232/#num1 A passionate composter and urban farmer, Sayward knows compost.

Home composting isn’t just for farmers anymore! The practice is becoming increasingly popular among urban environmentalists who are eager to cut their landfill contributions: from apartment dwellers growing gardens on top of NYC roofing, to folks who participate in their local municipal compost program, to homeowners looking to turn their backyards into a teeny tiny sustainable city farms. Composting is a key component of the eco-friendly puzzle, because it takes waste that’s destined for landfills and turns it into usable, nutrient-rich soil, which is perfect for gardening. Most people focus on kitchen scraps, but that’s just the very tip of the composting iceberg. Did you know you could also include the following?

It's not such a big deal this late in the season and actually we're lucky not to have had a frost yet.  Some years I had tomatoes clear into October but usually they got frosted in early September so in 2011 we're being blessed with a long summer.

If you see signs of Late Blight just trim it off generously and trash or burn all infected tissue.  If you see signs of it on your fruit then it's time to clean up everything for the year.  Undamaged fruit can still be eaten fresh or (preferably) cooked, but don't use it to can.  There is still too little research to determine the safety of canning Late Blight affected tomatoes.

I had some damage to my home and need to rebuild it. I want to save some of my plants in my landscaping, but I am unsure how or what to do. The plants will be in the way of the equipment and will be destroyed unless i move them. They will need to be moved in the next few weeks.

I have GIANT hostas, and a weeping cherry that I definatley want to save. The day lilies wouldn't upset me to awful much if they didn't survive (I can easily replace those). I have a rose bush, it may or may not need moved... probably should to be safe (this was here when i moved in, and i really don't know how to care for it in the first place! but it is pretty)

Do I cut off the new growths and plant them?

And what/why is the root thingy growing out the side of the larger new growth?]]> Mon, 7 Mar 2011 12:17:27 Tracy96 http://www.godubois.com/cgi-bin/blah/index.cgi/index.cgi?m-1298555257/ http://www.godubois.com/cgi-bin/blah/index.cgi/index.cgi?m-1298555257/#num1 ]]> Thu, 24 Feb 2011 08:47:37 WMJ77 http://www.godubois.com/cgi-bin/blah/index.cgi/index.cgi?m-1297290595/ http://www.godubois.com/cgi-bin/blah/index.cgi/index.cgi?m-1297290595/#num1 My problem is that it's so filled with bees every year in late summer, we can't go near that part of the deck.
Hubby wants to move it, but I'm so afraid that moving it will kill it.
Has anyone ever moved one before and if so, any suggestions on how to do it and when?
