Have

Når man hører ordet kolonihave, kommer mange umiddelbart til at tænke på Dannebrog i flagstangen, blomstrede parasoller og kolde øl om formiddagen. Men kolonihaver er også blevet noget, som rimer på børnefamilier, selvforsyning og glæden ved at have egen jord under neglene. På fællesskab og køkkenhaver og et åndehul fra byens larm og liv. I Kolonihaveliv lukker Julia Lahme havelågen op til 16 meget forskellige kolonihaver i Danmark. Vi møder de mennesker, der bor der, hører deres historier og får deres kolonihave præsenteret i mange og smukke billeder. Bogen rummer også kortere essays, som giver læseren baggrundshistorie om kolonihavebevægelsen – hvordan det hele startede, hvem der før og nu har kolonihaver, og hvorfor er der så mange, som elsker at have netop kolonihave og ikke fx sommerhus.

Sommer året rundt. I et drivhus kan man dyrke masser af herlige økologiske grøntsager, og så er huset skønt at dase i under grønne ranker når vinden blæser, og temperaturen begynder at falde udenfor. Bogen fortæller om, hvordan man vælger den rigtige type drivhus også til altanen og den lille grund og om, hvordan man indretter huset, så det er rart at være i året rundt, til glæde for både planter og mennesker. Placering Indretning og tilbehør Vedligeholdelse Plantevalg og -dyrkning Biologisk bekæmpelse Bogen er skrevet af havejournalist Lars Lund, der i mere end 30 år har bidraget med havestof til landets største aviser. Han har derudover produceret en række haveprogrammer for tv. Hovedparten af bogens smukke fotos er taget af forfatteren, og de instruktive tegninger er skabt af landskabsarkitekt Lulu Jacobsen.

Bygartner Boe Sallingboe har en mission: at gøre byen grønnere og skabe mere trivsel. I bogen Naturen ind i byen viser han helt fra bunden, hvordan man skaber et stykke natur på selv den mindste altan, og hvordan den store tagterrasse bliver en frodig drøm. Boe Sallingboe er oprindeligt uddannet industriel designer og har arbejdet i mange år i modebranchen, men i 2006 skiftede han helt spor og stiftede firmaet Altan-Alferne, der har stået bag en lang række byhaver i København. I bogen slår han fast, at selv de mindste uderum har en grøn fremtid. De fleste altan-ejere ved ikke, hvor ligetil det er at gøre rummet rigtig grønt, og her tænker Boe Sallingboe ikke på standardpotterne med prydblomster og krydderurter, men på frodige oaser med træer og buske og saftige grøntsager. Man skal blot kende sine forhold - en nordvendt altan behøver eksempelvis ikke være grå og gold, når bare man ved, hvilke planter der trives mod nord og i vind. I Naturen ind i byen giver Boe Sallingboe i tekst og billeder en lang række eksempler på byhave-projekter, han står bag. Og han fortæller konkret, hvad man selv kan gøre for at skabe de grønne miljøer, mens han påpeger, at det ikke behøver at være hverken dyrt eller besværligt at skabe et fantastisk uderum med uendeligt højt til loftet.

Mycelium Running is a manual for the mycological rescue of the planet. That's right: growing more mushrooms may be the best thing we can do to save the environment, and in this groundbreaking text from mushroom expert Paul Stamets, you'll find out how. The basic science goes like this: Microscopic cells called "mycelium"--the fruit of which are mushrooms--recycle carbon, nitrogen, and other essential elements as they break down plant and animal debris in the creation of rich new soil. What Stamets has discovered is that we can capitalize on mycelium's digestive power and target it to decompose toxic wastes and pollutants (mycoremediation), catch and reduce silt from streambeds and pathogens from agricultural watersheds (mycofiltration), control insect populations (mycopesticides), and generally enhance the health of our forests and gardens (mycoforestry and myco-gardening). In this comprehensive guide, you'll find chapters detailing each of these four exciting branches of what Stamets has coined "mycorestoration," as well as chapters on the medicinal and nutritional properties of mushrooms, inoculation methods, log and stump culture, and species selection for various environmental purposes. Heavily referenced and beautifully illustrated, this book is destined to be a classic reference for bemushroomed generations to come.

The book contains over 100 stunning photographs taken by Darke, including images of Gravetye and of modern ';wild' gardens.

Discover the secretive world of trees in Jonathan Drori's number one bestseller... Bestselling author and environmentalist Jonathan Drori follows in the footsteps of Phileas Fogg as he tells the stories of 80 magnificent trees from all over the globe. In Around the World in 80 Trees, Jonathan Drori uses plant science to illuminate how trees play a role in every part of human life, from the romantic to the regrettable. From the trees of Britain (this is a top search term), to India's sacred banyan tree, they offer us sanctuary and inspiration - not to mention the raw materials for everything from aspirin to maple syrup. Stops on the trip include the lime trees of Berlin's Unter den Linden boulevard, which intoxicate amorous Germans and hungry bees alike, the swankiest streets in nineteenth-century London, which were paved with Australian eucalyptus wood, and the redwood forests of California, where the secret to the trees' soaring heights can be found in the properties of the tiniest drops of water. Each of these strange and true tales - populated by self-mummifying monks, tree-climbing goats and ever-so-slightly radioactive nuts - is illustrated by Lucille Clerc, taking the reader on a journey that is as informative as it is beautiful. The book combines history, science and a wealth of quirky detail - there should be surprises for everyone. Perfect for fans of Peter Wohlleben's The Hidden Life of Trees, this new book will certainly whet the appetite of any tree lover to take an around-the-world trip, or simply visit your local botanic garden. The perfect travel guide for nature enthusiasts.
