For deep rooted carob trees are extremely resistant. As many countries are suffering from deforestation and committed to plant them gain ground in the desert. ice vending machine In our country, where curiously locust is native almost back to live this reality. The carob tree has fallen into oblivion.
A couple of months dedicàvem dossier to discuss sustainable ice vending machine gardens. Then ran times of drought and lived immersed in the phase of exceptional 2. It rained a few weeks in a row, the decree was repealed ice vending machine and now no one speaks or drought or water saving measures.
Recovering thread dossier on ecological gardens, this week we dedicate this space to speak of a tree deeply rooted ice vending machine in our region: carob, a species recently fall into oblivion but, as we shall see, its characteristics and multiplicity of uses, should claim. KEY CONCEPTS
The locust came to our house in the hands of Arabs. Today the landscape of carob extends from the Catalan Countries around the nord'Àfrica to land Levante and Cyprus, arriving in Asia Minor.
The rains in May and June seem to have erased from collective memory such terms feared for months ice vending machine and used as "restrictions", "drought decree" ice vending machine or "exceptional phase." There we can do more, we have short memories. We spent months and months bombarded by a barrage of information about drought, the rational use of water, minitransvasaments, desalination plants or water dishes transporters and now hardly anyone remembers. In a few weeks we have gone from not being able to irrigate gardens, filling swimming pools or washing cars to have total freedom to do so. Until when?
Even La Fura, coinciding with the drought decree (repealed amid great controversy on 4 June after weeks of heavy rains) dedicated last May to a dossier explaining the sustainable gardens ecological advantages of having a garden and water savings ice vending machine that allowed. As far solved the problem only been postponed and is likely soon turn to speak, it is particularly ice vending machine interesting to continue spreading ice vending machine systems that enact rational use of water. The dossier mentioned accentuated the use of native plants and trees, as they adapt to the climate and do not require irrigation or a not so strict maintenance of other species as foreign.
One of the native trees, rooted in the landscape and traditional ice vending machine Penedès is carob. Just a species that in recent years has aroused the interest of researchers around the world for its great capacity for adaptability to climate making it a powerful tool of resistance to desertification. Their deep roots make carob tree is extremely durable, as in Australia or Peru is working on planting carob desertitzades to regenerate some areas. And meanwhile we lose ... we are leaving the tree hermaphrodite
The locust or carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) is a stately evergreen tree dense canopy wide and rounded branches deployed, which often fall to the ground. The trunk is thick with dark bark, a brown and rough. Leaves large (10-20 cm), dark green and shiny on top and paler underneath, are composed of 4-10 leaflets matched thick leathery, elliptical or almost circular (3-5 cm ) or rounded escotats the extreme ice vending machine and often slightly wavy margins. The flowers are very showy, yellowish-green. Leaving buds red corsages short narrow at the base of the leaves.
The flowers can be of three different types: female, some male and hermaphrodite, with both parties. These flowers are usually about three different types of trees. That is why trees are used as hermaphrodite or female flowers are what give pods. In the case of using carob female flowers ice vending machine must be accompanied by a male foot. The fruit, carob is a pod hanging long and compressed texture similar to leather brown violet. Contains several hard seeds and flattened. When mature ice vending machine tree without falling open.
According to the Book of the secrets of agriculture, rustic and pastoral (Ed. Platform, 2007), a compendium of agriculture written by Brother Michael Augustine and published in Barcelona in 1617 and bedside ice vending machine book of the Catalan peasantry for two centuries, "planted Effer it wants to Garrofer
