Do you want to learn how to build your own organic garden? Then keep reading...Organic gardening replenishes the natural resources as it uses them. In organic gardening, you consider your plants as part of the larger natural system that begins with the soil and includes water supply, the wildlife; insects and people. Everyone wants the food we serve to our families as well as our environment to be safe and healthy. A good organic gardener strives to ensure that his or her activities are in harmony with the natural ecosystem and aims at minimizing exploitation as well as replenishing all the resources consumed by his or her garden.Once you have made the decision to grow your own veggies and fruit, rather than buying what is available on the shelves, you are in control of what you put into your body. This is the beauty of organic gardening - you can now safeguard your body's health by avoiding harmful pesticides and fertilizers. I personally believe in sustainability and that is one of the reasons why I chose organic gardening. When you garden on a smaller scale it is amazingly easy to do it sustainably and without using harmful pesticides and chemicals. Of course, there are studies which support both viewpoints but it is generally agreed that food grown organically is higher in phytochemicals and vitamins. Organic produce may contain up to forty percent more of the antioxidants that conventionally grown food has. And although the debate is still open with regard to the benefits of antioxidants, why not give it the benefit of the doubt and go for the potentially healthier option.I find that fruit and vegetables from my own organic garden taste much better than their counterparts from the supermarkets. I know that some people might have a different viewpoint and taste, but the evidence supporting my claim is mounting every day. Some recent studies conducted on rats, revealed that they prefer biscuits baked with organic wheat and they consumed a lot more of these than the conventional ones. Even if my preference for organically grown food is due to the placebo effect and I might not be able to distinguish them from other food during a blind test, it does not change the fact that I derive more enjoyment from the taste of my own organically grown food. So, no harm done and I am happy and satisfied. This book covers the following topics: Organic gardening vs the traditional gardeningThe dangers of chemical fertilizer abd pesticides, and their effects on your wealthThe benefits of organic gardeningPlanning the garden: materials, spaces, water, etc.The importance of a healthy soilThe types of soil (sandy, silty, clay, ecc..)How to control your soil's healthThe weeds and how to keep them under controlThe pests: how to fight them with natural remediesThe growing processType of plantsEncouraging plant and insect diversityDetailed to-do lists in vegetable gardeningOrganic tips and mistakesIdeas for gardening in small spaces...And much more!In the long run the choice is yours, of course, but after reading this chapter, I hope that you will at least consider using organic gardening as a preferred choice of growing vegetables at home.

This book is a demonstration of how to do in-depth bible study. Not the regular type of bible study, where you read a few verses and chat about them over tea and biscuits, but the type of study you would do if you wanted to write a commentary on a book of the bible. The best way to learn is to do. For that reason, we will be using an actual book of the bible, the book of Job, as a concrete example. We will go through it together; I will explain each step as we go, you will complete the step, then compare your notes to what I got. This will require parsing the book multiple times, and at 42 chapters, that is not trivial. As I said, this type of bible study is quite different to what is commonly understand by that term; it is also the only way to really penetrate a text. My first chapter is a general discussion on reading the bible, we will think on questions such as: Is there a right way? Is there a wrong way? What are we responsible for? What is God responsible for? With regards to the book of Job itself; I will say things that can be found in any orthodox commentary and things unusual, unique and controversial. Because you will be reading and dissecting the text along with me, so you will come to your own conclusions; the most important principle - that you should see these things for yourself.

Martin Smith is a freelance, semi retired photographer who lives with his wife Aneta in a small village called Stambolovo located in South Bulgaria. Although he likes to take photographs in any and all situations, using his creative flair and with the use of digital he soon found that he can produce some very creative images using smoke, water drops and macro, but so can millions of other people and he wanted to apply his own style to his photography so he set up a small "studio" in his house and concentrated on producing thought provoking images using only ordinary everyday objects. This book takes you on a journey exploring the "Cutlery Series", just one of his series of images that have received many awards as well as being featured in leading photographic magazines and other publications.

The results of five excavations carried out in Cambridgeshire between 1998 and 2002 by Birmingham University Archaeological Field Unit (BUFAU) - currently known as Birmingham Archaeology (BA). The respective sites are distributed fairly evenly across thecounty and run in a broad west to northeast direction that roughly centres upon Cambridge. The sites investigated are all within small towns or villages that have been the site of continuous settlement since at least medieval times. Consequently, the excavations proved very productive, revealing evidence for a wide range of activities and sometimes considerable spans of occupation. At Woodhurst, a Romano-British settlement was later succeeded by Saxon and then medieval occupation of the same area. Fordham provided a detailed insight into changing patterns of activity in a single location during the Anglo-Saxon period. Investigations at Buckden produced a less wide-ranging but nonetheless significant view of economic activities during medieval times. Finally, the excavations at Soham and St Neots revealed sequences running respectively from the Late Saxon and medieval periods through until modern times. In addition, all five sites produced small-scale evidence for prehistoric activity which combine to form a small but useful contribution to existing knowledge of prehistoric occupation in the region.
