Kutunza Bustani Kwaweza Kukunufaisha

JE, WEWE hufurahia kutunza bustani? Huenda unanufaika hata zaidi kutokana na utendaji huo. Kulingana na gazeti moja la London (Independent), watafiti wamegundua kwamba “kutunza bustani hukusaidia kuwa na afya nzuri zaidi, hupunguza mifadhaiko, hushusha shinikizo la damu na hata kukusaidia kuishi kwa muda mrefu zaidi.”

Mhariri G. Search anasema: “Baada ya siku yenye shughuli nyingi na mambo mengi yenye kufadhaisha, kurudi nyumbani na kutunza bustani yako huburudisha sana.” Mbali na kuwa jambo lenye kuthawabisha na kupendeza, kutunza bustani kunakuwezesha kupata mazoezi mazuri zaidi ya mwili kuliko kwenda katika chumba cha mazoezi. Jinsi gani? Kulingana na Search, “utendaji kama vile kulima na kukusanya majani ni mazoezi mazuri yanayotumia kalori nyingi zaidi kuliko kuendesha baiskeli.”

Kutunza bustani huwanufaisha hasa wazee. Kusubiri chipukizi au mche mpya uibuke huwasaidia kutazamia wakati ujao wakiwa na uhakika. Pia, “bustani hutuliza maumivu na mfadhaiko” unaosababishwa na uzee, asema Dakt. Brigid Boardman wa Royal Horticultural Society. Mara nyingi wazee huvunjika moyo kwa sababu ya kuwategemea sana wengine. Hata hivyo, kama Dakt. Boardman anavyosema, “ile hisia ya kutaka kujitegemea inatoshelezwa kwa kuamua kitakachopandwa, mahali kitakapopandwa, na jinsi ya kuitunza bustani. Na ule uhitaji wa kutunza unatoshelezwa pia.”

Wale walio na matatizo ya akili mara nyingi hutulia wanapofanya kazi katika mazingira mazuri, matulivu. Isitoshe, kupanda maua au chakula kwa ajili ya wengine kwaweza kuwasaidia watu hao wajiamini tena na kujiheshimu.

Hata hivyo, wanaofaidika na bustani hizo si wale wanaozitunza tu. Profesa Roger Ulrich wa Chuo Kikuu cha Texas alifanya majaribio kwa kutumia kikundi cha watu waliokuwa wametiwa chini ya mkazo. Aligundua kwamba wale waliopelekwa mahali penye miti na majani mengi walipata nafuu haraka—kulingana na mpigo wa moyo na shinikizo la damu—kuliko wale ambao hawakuwekwa katika mazingira hayo ya asili. Jaribio kama hilo lilionyesha kwamba wagonjwa wanaoendelea kupata nafuu katika hospitali baada ya kufanyiwa upasuaji walinufaika kwa kukaa katika vyumba ambamo wangeweza kuona miti. Tofauti na wagonjwa wengine, “walipata nafuu haraka, wakarudi nyumbani mapema, hawakuhitaji dawa nyingi za kutuliza maumivu, na walikuwa na malalamiko machache zaidi.”

How to Save Watermelon Seeds for Planting on Small Garden

Watermelon seeds from this year's garden can be planted next year. Seeds saved from the fruits of your garden's non-hybrid watermelon plants (Citrullus lanatus) can grow into new plants the following season. Different varieties of watermelons can cross-pollinate, which results in seedlings that aren't exactly like their parent plants. So grow only one watermelon variety in the garden if you want to save the seeds. The large seeds separate from the fruits easily, but they require some preparation to store well. Properly saved watermelon seeds can remain viable up to four years. Cut open a ripe watermelon. Scoop the seeds from the melon's flesh, and place them in a strainer. Rinse the seeds with warm tap water, removing most of the pulp. Add one drop of liquid dish soap, and wash the seeds gently to remove the remaining watermelon juice. Rinse the seeds thoroughly with only water. Spread the seeds on a sheet of wax paper. Dry the seeds for one week, turning them once each...

Kilimo Bora cha Alizeti - Uzalishaji, Uangalizi, Uvunaji na Uhifadhi

Utangulizi Alizeti hulimwa kwa wingi katika mikoa ya Shinyanga, Singida, Dodoma, Iringa, Tabora, Morogoro, Ruvuma, Mbeya, Arusha, Manyara, na RukwaZao hili hulimwa kwa ajili ya chakula na biashara. Mambo muhimu ya kuzingatia wakati wa uzalishaji Kuchagua aina bora ya mbegu Chagua aina bora ya mbegu inayovumilia magonjwa, wadudu, inayotoa mazao mengi na kiwango kikubwa cha mafuta. Vilevile chagua aina ya mbegu ambayo hukomaa kwa wakati mmoja ili kurahisisha uvunaji. Kuweka mbolea Rutubisha udongo kwa kutumia mbolea za mboji na samadi ili kupata mazao mengi na bora. Kudhibiti wadudu na magonjwa Alizeti hushambuliwa na magonjwa ya majani, mizizi na masuke ambayo husababisha upungufu wa mavunoHivyo ni muhimu kuyadhibiti ili kupata mavuno mengi na boraPia ndege hupunguza mavuno kwa kiasi cha asilimia 50 au zaidiNjia ya kudhibiti ndege ni kwa kuwafukuza na kupanda mbegu zinazokomaa mapema. Maandalizi kabla ya kuvuna; Ukaguzi Kagua shamba kuona kama alizeti imekomaaAlizeti hukomaa ...

Agriculture in Tanzania

Introduction Agriculture is main part of Tanzania's economy. As of 2016 Tanzania has over 44 million hectares of arable land with only 33% of this amount being cultivated. More than 80% of the poor population live in rural areas and almost all of them are involved in the farming sector Land is a vital asset in ensuring food security and among the main food crops in Tanzania are maize, sorghum, millet, rice, wheat, beans, cassava, potatoes and bananas.

Cash crops include Coffee, Sisal, Cashew nut, Tea, Cotton and Tobacco. At one point in history Tanzania was the largest producer of sisal in the world. The agriculture sector faces various challenges and has been the governments top priority to develop to reduce poverty.Farming efficiently has been a challenge of many farmers and lack of finances and lack of farming education has l...
