Gardening: How to Grow and Care for Kale in Your Home Garden
Summary
This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to grow kale in ideal conditions as well as some tips on how to grow it outside its preferred climate, with a bonus section about caring for collards. Any guide to growing kale will start out by telling you it is a cold-weather crop that tastes best after it has been bitten by frost. I'm here to tell you that while cold weather may be kale's preference, you can grow it during any season and in most climates. The flavor output and duration from seed to harvest will change depending on the temperature, weather patterns, variety, and soil condition, but kale is a hearty crop that is willing to adapt to our expanding desire for it. With that said, it can tolerate temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit but will start to turn bitter and become tough in temperatures over 80 degrees. For some it may still seem like spring is long time away; if you plan to plant from seed, you may need up to six weeks before your seedlings are ready to plant.

Natural Pest Control
Summary
Safe remedies for pests Dealing with insect pests in the home can be a major pain. Ants, fleas, roaches and the like are not only a source of dismay when spotted in the home, getting rid of them is time consuming and can incur monetary expense. Avoid dangerous chemicals. Chemical-based insecticides are of great concern as more and more people become aware of the devastating effects of even light use of products that can cause everything from irritation to disruption of hormone function to cancer. For those with concerns over the health hazards of using synthetic, chemical-based pesticides, finding an environmentally friendly solution that is people and pet friendly has often proved to be equally as challenging as eradicating the invading insect pests. Certified and safe To the average person, natural means free of chemicals, but in actuality, natural means a substance hasn’t been chemically altered in some way or synthesized. (Technically speaking, water is a chemical.) Likewise, organic means the substance is certified not to contain more than 5 percent of a synthetic or chemical additive. Natural substances come from plants and animals such as essential oils used around the home and manure or compost used in the garden. It should also be noted that the term natural on a product just means there are no “regulated” ingredients. Safe examples In an eco-friendly home, the use of products such as: Diatomaceous earth Dried herbs Essential oils Practices such as vacuuming As well as an understanding of the life cycle of household pests, will help you to learn how, and with what, and the frequency with which to treat infestations. Vacuuming with a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter can reduce insect debris that may become airborne. Never use insecticides, natural or synthetic, around foodstuffs. Even trace amounts on surfaces where foods are stored or prepared can cause contamination and lead to a toxic reaction. Use of dusts and baits must be limited to areas that cannot be easily accessed by animals and children. Click the "Buy Now" to provide pest solutions safe for the whole family.

My Wild Garden
Summary
On the perimeter of Israel's Jezreel Valley, with the Carmel mountains rising up in the west, Meir Shalev has a beloved garden, "neither neatly organized nor well kept", as he cheerfully explains. Often covered in mud and scrapes, Shalev cultivates both nomadic plants and "house dwellers", using his own quirky techniques. He extolls the virtues of the lemon tree, rescues a precious variety of purple snapdragon from the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway, and does battle with a saboteur mole rat. He even gives us his superior private recipe for curing olives. Informed by Shalev's literary sensibility, his sometime riotous humor, and his deep curiosity about the land, My Wild Garden abounds with appreciation for the joy of living, quite literally, on Earth. Our borrowed time on any particular patch of it is enhanced, the author reminds us, by our honest, respectful dealings with all manner of beings who inhabit it with us. Jacket art by Refaella Shir

The Agile City
Summary
In a very short time America has realized that global warming poses real challenges to the nation's future. The Agile City engages the fundamental question: what to do about it? Journalist and urban analyst James S. Russell argues that we'll more quickly slow global warming - and blunt its effects - by retrofitting cities, suburbs, and towns. The Agile City shows that change undertaken at the building and community level can reach carbon-reduction goals rapidly. Adapting buildings (39 percent of greenhouse-gas emission) and communities (slashing the 33 percent of transportation related emissions) offers numerous other benefits that tax gimmicks and massive alternative-energy investments can't match. Rapidly improving building techniques can readily cut carbon emissions by half, and some can get to zero. These cuts can be affordably achieved in the windshield-shattering heat of the desert and the bone-chilling cold of the north. Intelligently designing our towns could reduce marathon commutes and child chauffeuring to a few miles or eliminate it entirely. Agility, Russell argues, also means learning to adapt to the effects of climate change, which means redesigning the obsolete ways real-estate is financed; housing subsidies are distributed; transportation is provided; and water is obtained, distributed and disposed of. These engines of growth have become increasingly more dysfunctional both economically and environmentally. The Agile City highlights tactics that create multiplier effects, which means that ecologically driven change can shore-up economic opportunity, can make more productive workplaces, and can help revive neglected communities. Being able to look at multiple effects and multiple benefits of political choices and private investments is essential to assuring wealth and well-being in the future. Green, Russell writes, grows the future.

Companion Planting for Beginners
Summary
This book contains proven steps and strategies on which plants or vegetables you can put together to help them to grow healthily. By combining plants carefully, plants can help each other in terms of providing nutrients in the soil, offering protection from wind or sun, and also by attracting beneficial insects or acting as a decoy for harmful pests. Just as there are good companion planting combinations, there are also bad combinations. Some plants actually restrict the growth of other plants either by competing for nutrition in the same way, or by excluding incompatible orders, scents, or chemicals. Also, combining different plant species within a farm or garden has an added benefit of improving biodiversity, even if only on a small scale, during a time when we are at risk of mass extinctions of species. It is now a well-established fact that more diverse ecosystems are able to withstand greater shocks and changes, such as pest invasions. Some ideas for beneficial plant companion are listed in this book.
