Succulents are plants that have evolved and adapted to the natural environment. In some parts of the world, rainfall is seasonal and plant growth to meet their storage needs in water in their tissues. Many succulent plants growing indoors, but are equally happy in a warm place in the garden or a rockery. This prevents the plant to grow in one direction and become disfigured.

Succulents are plants that need heat and they are happy in our lives, but enjoy the cold weather in winter. Let the small tender plants with sheets inside if rain is imminent because of the likely hood of damage caused by rain. Then water the plants in this spirit. Proper watering in the growing season, but restricting the water in the rest period is sufficient to prevent the pot is dry, but not to root rot! Water the plants with fragile leaves the base plate, leave the pot enough so that water reaches the top of potting mix. This avoids splashing water and damage the delicate leaves.

Fertilize the plants every 6-8 weeks, no more food, as the plant can become top heavy with little exuberant growth. Some stations do not need. The optimum time is usually when the plant enters the season. Recommended proportions are two parts of compost and a mixture of sand part.
The leaves easily, and it’s just a case of the establishment of the broken part in another pot! Succulents also increase from the leaves, cut the sheet with a sharp knife and let dry. Plant in a straight angle, the angle is where the new plant will be displayed.

Well, as Mars gets closer, it’s time to start thinking about how to restore the garden. Remember to stay out of the garden bed or planting, if the soil is wet or soft compaction by foot traffic will destroy the air spaces between soil with emphasis on plant roots.

One of the first books dealing with the problem is to sweep all the leaves that have accumulated during the winter in the flower beds or lawn. Good flexibility will help rake leaves, with beds of perennials that tear, and remove the leaves on the lawn. One of the works after taking care of ornamental grasses and perennial flower beds. Then just pick up the package of dry grass and take it to the compost pile. After cutting the grass in the back if you look at the center of the plant begins to die, divide and replant the grass just before it starts to grow and be healthy grass plant again this summer.

You can clean the same high perennial ornamental grass with a hedge trimmer. You can take all the grass and the bottom right corner of the stack and again could be used to help enrich the soil.  A final task may arise is to check the branches of trees damaged or members of passage

Biochar has been hailed as a miracle and the strengthening of culture as a key instrument to fight global warming by the veteran climate scientist James Lovelock. “Biochar” is actually a new invention for a period of very traditional product – charcoal. plant material such as wood, plant debris or yard waste is heated without oxygen to a chemical modification of carbon.
The result is a carbon-rich, dry sound that we all recognize that coal.

“Biochar” Today is pyrolysis – a heating tank that can control the temperature better. It also allows the manufacturer of biochar to pick up other products in the manufacturing process. So what is the difference between coal and biochar?
Traditionally, coal is burned as fuel, but does not produce large amounts of carbon, a greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere.

During their life cycle, plants breathe in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to store large amounts of carbon into their structure. The process produces a very stable substance, which does not decompose, even when they are released into the earth. This means that all the carbon in a plant that makes the atmosphere is out of the atmosphere.

This means that biochar can be used to sequester carbon permanently and can be buried for the production of carbon sinks – sinks into the ground. Unlike carbon dioxide biochar does not require oxygen is stable, so that instead of trying to capture carbon dioxide and oxygen also lose the atmosphere, carbon absorption.

Studies have shown that biochar can be a useful additive for soil and yields increase, the addition of soil nutrients and makes it less acidic.
