No-Dig Gardening Part 2

5/3/2013

22 Comments

 
Next comes the layering of carbon, nitrogen and mineral materials.  I actually bought some stuff and I was able to reuse stuff we had.  I saved some grass and weed clippings from the lawn mower and raked up some old mango leaves we had in the yard.  I bought a 1/2 bale of straw and hay from Kaneohe Feed Supply because I was interested in experimenting with these materials.  This step can be done according to your preferences with which materials to use, I basically took the best how to videos I could find, found correlations in their processes and made up my own.  Basically my layering is as follows:
(Carbon) Hay-cover, water

(Mineral) Soil/Compost-spread, water

(Carbon)  Dry Leaves-spread, water

(Nitrogen) Dry Grass Clippings-spread, water

(Mineral) Clay soil, spread

(Mineral) Cinders, spread, not too much, water down

(Mineral) Top soil/Compost mix

(Nitrogen) Green Grass Clippings, not too thick, water down

(Nitrogen) Hay-fluff up high, keep leveled, water down

(Carbon) Mulch-water down

(Mineral) Top soil, water down

(Organic Matter) Food Scraps/Worms

(Nitrogen) Weed/Grass Clippings-5-10 cm, level, no lumps, water

(Brown)Cardboard

Be sure to soak each layer with a good amount of water before adding the next layer.  Also the layering presented in this blog starts with what is on top of the no-dig garden then goes to what is on

Anpr camera manufacturers in Delhi link
1/26/2023 10:13:37 pm

ANPR stands for "Automatic Number Plate Recognition." It is a technology that uses optical character recognition to automatically read and recognize the license plates of vehicles. ANPR cameras are typically mounted on street poles or on the front or rear of police vehicles, and are used to identify vehicles that may be associated with criminal activity, or to enforce traffic laws and regulations. The camera captures an image of the license plate, and the optical character recognition software converts the image into text, which is then checked against a database of vehicles of interest or against a database of registered vehicles. ANPR cameras can be used to identify vehicles that have been stolen, are associated with individuals who are wanted by the authorities, or are being used in connection with illegal activities.

Plastic granules are small particles of plastic that are typically used as raw material in the manufacturing of plastic products. They are made by melting down larger pieces of plastic and then extruding the molten material through small holes to form small, uniform pellets. These pellets can then be molded, shaped, or extruded into a variety of different products. Plastic granules are commonly used in the injection molding and extrusion processes, as they can be easily melted and molded into the desired shape. They are also widely used in the production of plastic films, fibers, and resins.
