I’ve got some bananas that started to fruit, but it looks like only the first stage came out. The others look like they’re molding or rotting away. I’d be thankful for any and all thoughts on why this is happening.
I believe they’ve gotten ample water and nutrition, but could be wrong.

Here’s my context. I live in rural Haiti working on land restoration. It’s very hard to import anything. Right now it means bringing it in on a bus through the Dominican Republic then crossing some of Haiti on motorbikes and finally hiking half an hour. Nonetheless, given our project we want a fork that someone can bring in next time they’re coming in from US, which we actually do fairly often. To make transport easier we would plan to remove any wooden handle and replace that here.
What we need it for is loosening compacted soil, starting new beds, digging up root veggies, aerating soil, and turning compost. So far we’ve made do with shovels but the aerating is not so easy with a shovel which makes me lean toward a broad fork. That said, if we get a more general fork, I’m sure it will be used a lot.
Any suggestions? We could possibly have one welded out of rebar but I suspect that would suck and not hold up well. Our experience with welders here has been quite frustrating so far.

Visitas: 1Aquaculture Magazine reports: The Embassy of the Netherlands in Vietnam held a few days ago in Can Tho, a Vietnamese city in the Mekong Delta, a business forum focused on finding ways for sustainable aquaculture in the region. The event was held in collaboration with the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD). […]

A recent post by the New York Times said “When some plants are dehydrated or under some other form of stress, they cry a mournful melody made of ultrasonic clicks” referring to some new research that collected sounds from stressed plants. CBS News reported that, “Plants emit a “rather noisy” cry for help when under … Read More

Evaluated tower, mast, crane, and UAV methods for forest vertical gap fraction, LAI, and CI measurements in different seasons. UAV is promising for forest vertical structural profiling.
The vertical distribution of canopy structural parameters, such as canopy gap fraction, leaf area index (LAI) and clumping index (CI), is important for understanding the forest structural and functional properties. However, vertically distributed canopy structural data are rare, and current methods are either inefficient or costly for obtaining sufficient amounts of such data. This study conducted a series of field campaigns to obtain forest vertical structural measurements at two temperate forest sites in northern China from 2020 to 2023. Four different measurement systems were compared: (1) flux towers with accessible platforms at different heights, (2) a portable and extensible sampling mast with a digital hemispherical photography (DHP) camera attached on top, (3) a tower crane with a DHP camera fixed on the crane hook, and (4) an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) with a DHP camera attached on top. The measured effective plant area index (PAIeff) shows clearly seasonal variations at different heights. The CI remains relatively consistent at different heights, and the leaf-off value is approximately 0.1−0.2 higher than the leaf-on one. The flux tower method can be used for vertical profile measurement at a fixed location, whereas the portable mast is suitable for lower-level (< 15 m) measurement. Crane measurement requires an established facility and is useful for local measurement around the crane. UAV with an attached DHP provides a promising method for monitoring vertical structural parameters. The vertical structural profiles obtained in this study can be used in various modeling and validation studies.
Hei, we are considering buying a little property (not our final home) close to a river which possibly can rise up to about 7 meters (23 feet).
We have not being on site yet and I’d like some info on how to calculate where the water line would be in case of worst case flom scenario. We have a map made from the a state Department and it seems that all of the property would get flooded. I want to learn how to calculate up to which level of the house and the barn the water could get.
Thanks 🌱
