The permaculture movement has been around since the 1970's and its principles focus in using natural systems and processes to get the most out of your garden in the most efficient way possible. The idea is that by building relationships in your garden and feeding the soil, your plants will do most of the work for you - watering, pest control and fertilizing.Incorporating permaculture principles into your raised beds will not only help you start to live sustainably, it will also help you do this in a way that follows systems found in nature, in a way that benefits the planet.In 'Raised Bed Gardening the Permaculture Way', you'll learn: The main advantages of raised beds;The main principles of permaculture;How to make use of rainwaterHow to fertilize your soil using natural, organic fertilizersWhich plants love each other and which can't stand the sight of each other;How to attract beneficial insects to your garden to keep pests away;How to maintain your raised beds;Some mini permaculture projects to get you going;A large plant directory;Different raised bed designsYou may think you don't have the space to start your own garden but raised beds are perfect for small spaces or gardens with no lawn. And it doesn't need to be overwhelming - start small and build up from there as you gain more confidence and experience.Even if all you have done is tend to a few tomato plant, you can become an expert gardener; all it takes is a little time, patience and practice. And remember, we have all made mistakes along the way. That's how we improve and become better gardeners.

Pre- and postharvest treatments for the quality assurance of African indigenous leafy vegetables
Inadequate pre- and postharvest treatments of agricultural produce are one of the central problems developing countries are facing resulting in low yield and poor quality African indegenous leafy vegetables (AIVs). AIVs are rich in nutritional and health promoting plant compounds such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, dietary fibre and antioxidant compounds. However, due to high perishability and low storage capacity in fresh form, AIVs suffer significant loss in quantity and quality. Aim of the present study was to assess the situation of postharvest losses during AIVs supply chain (from smallholder farmer to consumer), determine the amount of postharvest loss (quantitave and nutritional) along the supply chain in Kenya. Thereafter, a series of studies were conducted on pre-harvest (electric current) and postharvest (UV-C irradiation) treatments to determine their effects on primary compounds (chlorophylls, mineral elements, proteins and dietary fibre) and secondary metabolites (carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, phenolic compounds, glutathione peroxidase (GPOX), and vitamin E) and microbial status as well as antioxidant capacity, in order to strengthen a product quality and safety oriented food supply chain. The study focussed mainly on two commonly consumed AIVs i.e. Vegetable amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L. cv. Madiira) and African nightshade (Solanum scabrum Mill. cv. Olevolosi).
