Fieldwork For the student to know how to calculate tensions and yield strength for the design of simple structural elements. Prepare the student to calculate and design small rural structures and buildings, mainly industrial and farming units, in accordance with the current legislation. THEORY AND CLASSROOM PRACTICE SYLLABUS: STRENGTH OF MATERIALS Topic 22.- Elementary calculation of rectangular sections according to the theory of the maximum moment Topic 23.- Calculation of foundations and walls LABORATORY PRACTICE AND FIELDWORK SYLLABUS: Basically there are two Practicals, one consisting in performing the traction test, and the other corresponding to a computer based calculation of an industrial unit, in 10 one-hour sessions. The calculation of the unit is a compulsory assignment and requires the student to calculate the forces both manually and via computer, using the knowledge acquired during the course. ASSESSMENT: Written test consisting in theory and applicationThe primary concern of the CBA is that remaining natural ecosystems, due to their scarcity and diminishing size, be as little disturbed as possible. Therefore, planting of wildflowers or native shrubs and trees must be done in such a way that it poses no threat to the integrity of natural communities. Nothing extraneous should be planted into natural communities and very close limits should be placed on what is taken out. Exotic genotypes of native plants should not be grown nearby because if they interbreed, locally adapted gene complexes might break down. The preferred source of native plants for gardening is propagules which have been grown under culture. Commercial producers of seeds may take the pressure from natural areas as a source of stock for horticulture. Initially, seeds or cuttings (preferably not roots or rhizomes) must come from natural or semi-natural populations, but afterward should be generated in fields or gardens. A wild species which cannot be
Sales from our seed catalogue have been brisk. The FAS Horticulture Course started in March and the trainees are fast becoming old hands. All of our courses are expanding and about fifty people attend courses in Rossinver, Leitrim each weekend. We now offer some courses in Clare and Dublin. Substantial funding has been secured as a result of efforts made over the past two years in association with the two other main organisations involved with organics in the region. Atlantic Organics Ltd. through training, research, and marketing aims to help make organics a viable business for producers. Urban gardening is taught at St Michael's by Aisling and Philip teaches at the Organic Centre. Composting is at the heart of organic gardening. In the peaceful surroundings of The Organic Centre you will see polytunnels, willow structures, reedbed and wetland waste treatment, composting, wildlife gardening, and green building concepts at work.

Prune out any crossing, broken, or shaded out branches from the interior of the tree. No topping or hedging is necessary and removal of the skirts around the lower portion of the tree's bearing capacity. If scale insects are present (appear as small bumps on twigs and a black sooty mold on the leaves), spray the tree with volk or superior oil. The best time to treat is February during cool weather. Thorough coverage is important. Fertilize using 3 lbs. of Urea or 20-30 lbs. of animal manure for a large mature tree. Reduce rates for smaller trees. Split fertilizer applications into three, April - August. Protect tender trees from frost, especially limes and lemons, with burlap covering the top and sides of the tree.Fact sheet outline: The seven principles of water-wise gardening, page 1 o Planning and designing for water conservation, beauty, and utility, page 2 o Improving the soil, page 2 o Creating practical turf areas, page 3 o Watering efficiently with appropriate irrigation methods, page 3 o Selecting plants appropriate for our climate and grouping them according to their water needs, page 3 o Mulching to reduce evaporation, page 3 o Maintaining with good horticultural practices, page 4 Cooperative Extension programs are available to all without discrimination.

Among other benefits, successful vegetable gardens offer their owners fresh air, sunshine, exercise, enjoyment, mental therapy, nutritious fresh vegetables, and economic savings. Gardens may be grown year-round in Florida, but spring is the preferred season. Statewide there are over 1 million vegetable gardens, averaging 300 sq. ft. and a retail value of $300. While this guide provides recommendations primarily for regular gardens, the information may be useful in other common situations such as container, organic, community, and market gardens. STEPS IN GARDENING Site - Locate the garden near the house for convenience on a site close to a source of water with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. With proper care, vegetables may also be included in the landscape among ornamental plants. Gardeners find it convenient to use commonly available fertilizer grades such as 8-8-8 or 15-15-15.

General Description: Learn to appreciate the plants in your life. No science experience is expected for these introductory lessons. Plant biology will be covered from the ground up, with enthusiasm. Plants are often overlooked in their impact on the daily life of humans. These lessons serve to relate the basic biology of plants to their use by human civilization. Topics include plant resources encountered in daily life, especially food. The objectives are to teach students 1) to understand the basics of plant science 2) to appreciate the complexity and diversity of plants used by humans, and 3) to see the forest and the trees.
