The valuable Bamboo plant has many uses. It can be used to carry water, as building material, for making furniture, craft work and to control erosion on riverbanks. But bamboo is always in short supply because it is not usually cultivated by farmers. It just grows wild. Most types of bamboo grow shoots from underground stems called rhizomes. These shoots grow into tall above-ground stems-------Quick Tips: Lucky Bamboo -----Bamboo Propagation-----About bamboo clothing: Why is it better?./---Propagating culm cuttings ////In 5 easy steps propagate your Lucky Bamboo!

From my porch in Paros, you can see Demetrius and his donkey walk by. Around 8:30 every morning, Demetrius arrives in our area and sings out the produce that he has to offer....eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes, salad, etc. And women come out from their kitchens and buy what they need for the day.
I will be in Paros from July 1 to September 7. For the moment, we don't have internet connection forcing us to go to internet cafes where the connection is very slow. Therefore, I will not be posting very often.
If you're in Paros, let me know!

vertical farms
Vertical farming is a conceptual form of agriculture done in urban high-rises. In these high-rises (variously called "farmscrapers,"[1]) food such as fruit, vegetables, fish, and livestock can be raised by using greenhouse growing methods and recycled resources year-round, allowing cities of the future to become self-sufficient.-----Sky Farm Proposed for Downtown Toronto----Chris Jacobs Vertical Farm blog---Vertical (Diagonal?)
