<p data-mce-fragment="1"> <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Garden Book of the Year 2018</strong></span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Do you dream of a flamboyant garden, bursting with healthy vegetables and goodies from early spring to late autumn? A garden where you can hear birds chirping and insects buzzing, a garden that only gets more fertile, more beautiful and more self-sustaining every year? A good-for-the-planet garden that captures, stores and transforms lots of carbon dioxide into fertile soil teeming with life? </p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">That dream can come true if you dare to venture into the world of forest gardening! A forest garden is a garden or cultivation where you take inspiration from the forest to produce food and useful plants in nature's own way. You can actually say that you are creating your own ecosystem! It's much more fun, easier and more efficient than constantly fighting back with lawnmowers, environmental toxins and weeding.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">This book gives you, in a simple and easy-to-understand way, everything you need to become a forest gardener. It contains plant portraits of over 350 hardy nut and fruit trees, berry bushes, climbers, perennial vegetables, ground covers and other supportive plants that help your favorite plants thrive. In the book you will also find, among many other things, information on how to find the right place for your forest garden, what you need to do to get strong, independent plants, how to attract useful helpers and how to best take care of the harvest . With its over 800 references to books, reports and research on the subject, the book stands on a solid scientific basis and makes it easy for the reader who wants to delve further into this exciting cultivation technique.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Skogsträdgården is written by Philipp Weiss, the author behind Skogsträdgårdsblog, and Annevi Sjöberg, environmental scientist with a burning heart for ecology and all forms of berries. The authors have many years of experience in forest horticulture and hold popular courses on the subject. They have created about ten forest gardens around the country, and wrote the acclaimed book "Perennial vegetables: discover, grow, enjoy" which was nominated for the Garden Book of the Year 2016. Then as now, Daniel Larsson, who runs the cooperative farm Mylla on a daily basis, is responsible for the design.</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"></p> <table id="ctl00_ctl00_m_m_ctl02_gv" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" class="infoTable" rules="all"> <caption>Facts</caption> <tbody> <tr class="infoRow"> <td style="width: 140px;" data-mce-style="width: 140px;">Format<br> </td> <td style="width: 380px;" data-mce-style="width: 380px;">Bound</td> </tr> <tr class="infoAltRow"> <td style="width: 140px;" data-mce-style="width: 140px;">Publishers</td> <td style="width: 380px;" data-mce-style="width: 380px;">Hälsingbo Forest Garden HB</td> </tr> <tr class="infoRow"> <td style="width: 140px;" data-mce-style="width: 140px;">Released</td> <td style="width: 380px;" data-mce-style="width: 380px;">20180520</td> </tr> <tr class="infoAltRow"> <td style="width: 140px;" data-mce-style="width: 140px;">Page count</td> <td style="width: 380px;" data-mce-style="width: 380px;">464</td> </tr> <tr class="infoRow"> <td style="width: 140px;" data-mce-style="width: 140px;">Language</td> <td style="width: 380px;" data-mce-style="width: 380px;">Swedish</td> </tr> <tr class="infoAltRow"> <td style="width: 140px;" data-mce-style="width: 140px;">ISBN<br> </td> <td style="width: 380px;" data-mce-style="width: 380px;">9789163932502</td> </tr> <tr class="infoRow"> <td style="width: 140px;" data-mce-style="width: 140px;">Dimensions<br> </td> <td style="width: 380px;" data-mce-style="width: 380px;">287 x 225 x 43 mm</td> </tr> <tr class="infoRow"> <td style="width: 140px;" data-mce-style="width: 140px;">Weight</td> <td style="width: 380px;" data-mce-style="width: 380px;">2056 g </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

<p>Effective beneficial insects against spider mites. In packs of 500 or 2000.</p> <p> <em>Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday.</em></p> <p> The spider mite, <em>Phytoseiulus persimilis</em> <em>,<span> </span></em>is effective for controlling spider mites. The predatory mites are 0.5 mm long and reddish-orange in color. The product is available in two sizes, approximately 500 pieces or approximately 2000 pieces, mixed with granules (vermiculite).<br><br> In the first place, predatory mites should only be released after an infestation has been confirmed.</p> <p> <strong>User manual</strong></p> <p> Self-check upon receipt:</p> <p> The bottle of predatory mites should be opened first at the infested plants. If the spider mites are not visible in the lid, carefully pour some of the substrate onto a white A4 piece of paper. The predatory mites can then be clearly seen running across the surface of the paper.</p> <p>The bottle is held horizontally. Swirl the bottle gently so that the predatory mites are evenly distributed in the granules. Sprinkle small portions on the upper side of the leaves. These should be kept moist so that the granules are retained for a while and the mites can come around and look for prey on the plant. Note that the predatory mites can also be used outdoors on, for example, strawberries and raspberries, etc.</p> <p> <strong>Follow the fight</strong></p> <p> Every third day, examine the leaves by carefully turning them over and looking at the underside with a magnifying glass (10x magnification). Where spider mites are present, red predatory mites should also be visible. If this is the case, a reduction in spider mites should be visible after 2-3 weeks. In hot or dry climates, predatory mites can be helped by showering the plants during the day.</p>

The black raspberry is described as highly disease-resistant, easy to cultivate, and early-bearing. The black raspberry is also more tolerant to heat and drought. The berries keep their shape for several days in the cold after harvest.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">The black raspberry has also been called "The king of berries" because of its esteemed health benefits. The berries contain high levels of antioxidants and also anthocyanins (the group of substances that give fruits and vegetables their dark color - blue/purple/black) which act anti-inflammatory and are also linked to processes in the body such as improved memory and increased eyesight.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">The variety 'Black Jewel' has berries with a high sweetness and a pleasant aftertaste that lingers after eating the berries. The berries have a glossy appearance and provide a striking addition to the cultivation.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">The berries can be both dried and frozen for later use.

The black mulberry tree, like the white variety, </span><a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/vitt-mullbar-morus-alba" title="White mulberry (Morus alba)" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/vitt-mullbar-morus-alba" target="_blank"><strong data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;">Morus alba</span></strong></a><span data-mce-fragment="1">, originates from West Asia – however, the black mulberry tree arrived in Europe a few hundred years before the white one. The earliest known finds of the black mulberry tree date back to around 300 BC. It is possible that Morus nigra originates somewhat further southwest (closer to Europe) in West Asia than its relative Morus alba, which may explain why Morus nigra has slightly less hardiness in cold climates than its relative.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Traditionally, the black mulberry was used to make wine and cosmetics – thanks to its high concentration of anthocyanins which give the berry its deep dark color. But the berries were also grown for fresh consumption. </span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Unlike the white mulberry tree’s fruits, which can vary in color, the black mulberry tree’s fruits are always black when ripe. The black mulberry is also more tart.</span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">The berries are rich in antioxidants and are believed, like tea made from mulberry leaves, to help balance blood sugar levels. This is thanks to <span data-mce-fragment="1">the content of the substance MFE which stabilizes blood sugar levels and thus reduces the body's craving for sweets. Therefore, mulberries are a common substitute for those who want to overcome sugar cravings. </span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Due to the berries’ unusually high nutritional content, mulberries, like <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" title="Goji (Lycium barbarum)" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/collections/froavdelning/products/gojibar-bocktorne-lycium-barbarum" target="_blank"><strong data-mce-fragment="1"><span style="color: #4e991d;" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-style="color: #4e991d;">goji berry</span></strong></a>, are considered a so-called "superfood".</p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Besides mulberry wine, you can also make juice and jam from the berries.<br></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><meta charset="utf-8"><span>You can brew a healthy tea from the leaves, which has historically been drunk in China and has recently started to become popular again in Asia. </span></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1"><strong data-mce-fragment="1">Cultivation:</strong></p> <p data-mce-fragment="1">Withstands temperatures down to -25<span data-mce-fragment="1">°</span><span data-mce-fragment="1">C</span>.
