Yield is driven by light, among other key factors; so, all other things being equal, a greenhouse facility that delivers similar light levels as an HPS indoor operation will deliver similar yields and quality.

In the meantime, she has built stable relationships with several of the most well-known medical cannabis dispensaries and worked by herself on her 360-acre plot of land. Her actual grow space is “five parcels – each one is on at least an acre,” she says, plus a sizeable hoop house and an indoor grow that spans about 2,500 square feet (the size of a large, three-car garage – the former use of the space).

Between 2007 and 2011, multiple field investigations were conducted in the upland areas of the site and in adjacent portions of Gloucester InnerHarbor by GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc. (GZA), Anchor QEA, and Arcadis. Subsurface infrastructure and oil and/or hazardous materials (OHMs) related to the MGP operations were identified at multiple privately and publicly-owned properties that comprised the former MGP site, as well as within adjacent harbor sediments. This included coal tar, which was a by-product of the gas manufacturing process. A Phase II Comprehensive Site Assessment summarizing the nature and extent of impacts was submitted to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) in July 2011. A Phase III Remedial Action Plan, submitted to MassDEP in February 2012, evaluated and selected feasible remedial alternatives.

The NGT on May 14 expressed its displeasure at the delay by the West Bengal government in submitting the report on introduction of Zig Zag technology for brick kilns in the state and gave two months more time for furnishing the report and said that failure to do so would lead to coercive action including payment of heavy penalty.

Because of their other role as the basis of the intertidal habitat, the borrow-pits could not simply be plundered for the clay material, but had to be carefully excavated according to the design, with predetermined levels and slopes to ensure their suitability as natural landforms. “This was not just an engineering decision but also an ecological one” says Bandy. On top of the clay core, earthmoving subcontractor Ovenden carefully added layers of fertile material. “The outer layers vary across the site depending on the local distribution and consist of different materials including sand, shingle, topsoil and subsoil,” says Bandy. This has been planted with a variety of species appropriate to the location – topsoil seeded with meadow wildflower mix used along the inland face of the embankment and coarser sedges and rushes on more exposed areas.

“We started setting up the precast yard facilities and the office buildings and workshops,” he said. “We did that in order to keep the team motivated and to get ahead with our mobilisation works while the design changes were being made.

Mine showed almost no wear, so I expect they’ll last for at least the 5 years mentioned by the seller, High Caliper Growing Inc. of Oklahoma.

Amid a global push to reduce the use of plastic for environmental reasons, India is promoting jute — better known in the United States as the fiber used in burlap — as a material for reusable shopping bags, home furnishings, clothing, even diapers and women’s sanitary pads.

But when Fossitt demanded a “firm date” on when Parmalat plans to build its own proper road over to Liscumb — ridding Gladstone and the village of truck traffic —  the answer was “soon” without a timeline.

Smart Pots are considered the original fabric container. Products of High Caliper Growing, Inc., their custom-made, U.S.-manufactured geotextile is exclusive to Smart Pots. Charles Jackson, Smart Pots’ vice president of retail sales, stops short of promising specific yields; however, he says a #7 Smart Pot yields the same growth as a standard #10 plastic pot. “Less soil, nutrient and room translates to bigger yields with less expense,” Jackson says.

“The major developments we need in this community are healthcare and very good water to drink. Our people take water from the well to drink and from the polluted rain. You see the oil companies’ flames which pollute the water,” Omamogho showed the reporter.
