¶ Bentonite Vs. Kaolinite
"""
(...) in our opinion BOTH types work, and have their place. (...) One thing that does not seem do be in dispute is application rates. If you see in gardening books that clay content of soil should be around 20 - 40% - this refers to kaolinite clays. If you were to use bentonite at that ratio, you would end up with soil not unlike concrete!
Bentonite should be incorporated at a ratio between 1 - 5%. We always suggest adding a smaller quantity initially then adding more if required. Start at around 500gm - 1kg per square metre - incorporated into the top 200-300mm of soil. You will know when you have reached an adequate mixture in your own garden by observation and checking soil moisture regularly. In our trials this is certainly sufficient to have effect. Don't be tempted to over apply - people that have run into problems using bentonite have usually used too much.
Kaolinite clay needs to be added at somewhere between 5 - 15kgs per square metre (depending on other soil improvement practices). If you're incorporating compost or biochar - potentially less clay is required. In more sandy soils; you'll need the higher end of the application spectrum.
Bentonite needs to be incorporated into soil when dry; once it's wet it tends to stick to itself. Kaolinite clay is easier to work into any soil, another reason why it is favoured by some.
Please note - adding clay of any kind will improve your soil's water holding ability. But it WILL NOT stop soil from drying out. (...) What it DOES, is make soil much easier to re-wet. If your soil is VERY dry you will need to add a lot of water to re-wet it. Remember clay holds up to six times the amount of water that sand does? (...)

¶ Liquid clay
"""
a process to mix nano-particles of clay with water and bind them to sand particles to condition desert soil (...) "The treatment gives sand particles a clay coating which completely changes their physical properties and allows them to bind with water," he says. "This process doesn't involve any chemical agents. We can change any poor-quality sandy soils into high-yield agricultural land in just seven hours."
Normal sand particles are very loose, which means that they have a very low water retention capacity.
But when you add Liquid Nanoclay to the sand it binds those sand particles together, says Kristian, which means it can hold water for longer, "increasing the possibility of agricultural yield".

¶* Soilization via CMC
An Eco-Mechanical Solution to Desertification → modified sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution (containing 2% modified CMC and 5% compound fertilizer)
"""
Based on the granular constraint principle, the method used to implement sand “soilization” is simple. The added constraining material is modified CMC (a kind of plant cellulose), which can be used as food additives, is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and suitable for mass production. A small amount (as little as 1%–5%, for example) of modified CMC added to water can produce a highly viscous paste. If mechanized preparation methods such as rotary cultivation are adopted, the work involved in planting in “soilized” sand will not be much greater than that for planting in arable land. From an economical perspective, be-cause the content of the constraining material is quite low and the preparation method is simple, the total cost for desert “soili-zation” is between 4500 and 6500 dollars per hectare depending on the planting requirements.

Historical ecology is a research program that focuses on the interactions between humans and their environment over long-term periods of time, typically over the course of centuries.[1] In order to carry out this work, historical ecologists synthesize long-series data collected by practitioners in diverse fields.[2] Rather than concentrating on one specific event, historical ecology aims to study and understand this interaction across both time and space in order to gain a full understanding of its cumulative effects. Through this interplay, humans adapt to and shape the environment, continuously contributing to landscape transformation.

Here Question / Proposal I sent to Town Hall on June 4: I wanted to know if the Cohombrillo Finca - the grounds between the Cohombrette and the road that goes to Lajares - is municipal soil, in order to end, if the answer is yes , to propose a project for the rehabilitation of gags and other areas for re-vegetation with indigenous plants in a permaculture regime (1), possibly creating a botanical garden that would be part of the tourism offer (2) in the north of the island and it can also be scientific and educational station, all based on the design and execution of field work (3) and installation of a sewage treatment station by fitodepuration (4), and its later distribution by controlled irrigation systems.
(1). Permaculture is a holistic system that seeks to restore harm done to natural systems while managing resources sustainably for the mutual benefit of human species and nature... Earth care means caring for living and non-living things: soils, species and their varieties, atmosphere, forests, microhabitats, animals and water, which involves harmless and rehabilitative activities, active conservation and ethical use of resources. All actions need to ensure that ecosystems are substantially intact and able to function healthy. - http://www.rinconesdelatlantico.com/num2/permacultura.html.
(2). We plan to promote the project on social networks, inviting interested individuals and entities to participate in and make donations to the project's fan club, thus generating advertising and revenue. The project would also need technical and funding support from local and potentially community and international institutions.
(3). Using environment and landscape friendly materials and methods. Collaborate with the nursery of the Biological Station of La Oliva, the Cabildo and the Biosphere Reserve.
(4). Watch: http://depuranatura.blogspot.com/p/bajar-documentos.html?m=1. We understand that between neighborhood production and sewage tourism for purification and further use are not missing in the municipality.
Shout out. Andrew Paul Booth. Project Finca Cohombillo 2020, Lajares.

¶CLEAN APHIDS
"""
APHIDS 101
Aphids feed on soft stems, branches, buds and fruit, preferring tender new growth over tougher established foliage. They pierce the stems and suck the nutrient-rich sap from the plant, leaving behind curled or yellowed leaves, deformed flowers, or damaged fruit. Most aphids feed on a wide variety of plants, although some species are specific to certain types of plants.
Aphids don’t like to dine alone, and can usually be found feeding in large groups. Depending on the level of infestation, they can cause serious injury to individual plants or even entire crops. Aphids produce multiple generations in one year and infestations can quickly get out of hand. Treating them early, before they have a chance to reproduce, can make a huge difference in gaining aphid control. Aphids frequently carry viruses and can spread them from one plant to another, often proving fatal to crops like citrus, potatoes and grains.
Aphids secrete a sticky substance called honeydew that attracts ants, so following a trail of ants into a plant can often lead to a discovery of an aphid infestation. Ants are known to protect aphids from natural predators and even herd them into tight colonies so they can harvest the honeydew easier. Honeydew also creates a favorable environment for sooty mold to grow and spread.
Most species of aphids overwinter as eggs and hatch in the spring; however, in warmer climates, they can be an almost year-round problem.
"""
"""
* Remove by hand:
Put on some garden gloves and knock them off of stems, leaves, flower buds, or wherever you see them, and into a bucket of soapy water to kill them. You can also cut or prune off the affected areas and drop them into the bucket.
* Soap and water:
Make a homemade aphid spray by mixing a few tablespoons of a pure liquid soap (such as castile) in a small bucket of water. (Avoid using detergents or products with degreasers or moisturizers.) Apply with a spray bottle directly on aphids and the affected parts of the plant, making sure to soak the undersides of leaves where eggs and larvae like to hide. The soap dissolves the protective outer layer of aphids and other soft-bodied insects, eventually killing them. It doesn’t harm birds or hard-bodied beneficial insects like lacewings, ladybugs or pollinating bees. You can also purchase ready-to-use insecticidal soaps online or at a local nursery.
* Neem oil:
The organic compounds in neem oil act as a repellent for aphids and other insects, including mealy bugs, cabbage worms, beetles, leafminers, ants and various types of caterpillars. However, it may repel beneficial insects, so use caution when and where they are present. Follow package instructions for diluting the oil in water or use a ready-to-use neem oil spray, and spray the affected areas. Neem oil is also good for controlling different types of fungus.
* Essential oils:
Create your own spray mixture with essential oils. Use 4 to 5 drops of each: peppermint, clove, rosemary and thyme, and mix with water in a small spray bottle. Spray on affected plants to target adult aphids, as well as aphid larvae and eggs.
