WHO: I have all kinds of exotic animals kept in my life and my methods have their power and keep it refined over the years, I learned more about their individual needs. This training me constantly enrich their environment and food, to allow the best possible care. Therefore, this article is an attempt to present my experience in keeping and care of exotic animals, especially birds, turtles and actions, adapted herbivores but not sure. In a previous article Idiscussed the development and manufacture of my aviary, used from 3 colonies of birds and a pair of box turtles home. In this article I will share with the reader of nutrition and gardening strategies for these animals.
WHY ': as owners of exotic animals, we are all fighting for our fridge with fresh vegetables and vegetable stock to provide daily "salad" to keep our friends. Since I share the love of both house and garden, I decided to have a vegetable garden in particular to my birds and turtles feed plants. FurtherIncentive was what appears to be a constant reminder of commercial vegetables by bacteria and other pollutants, and the high cost of organic products. I noticed that my pet with a safe, organic, nutritious and economical through the cultivation of vegetables themselves can provide.
STEP ONE / Size Plot: The first step in designing the garden should be to determine how much space you have available to devote to your garden. This can range all the yards and needs, and not a formula that is perfect.Your garden can be one or two pots planted patio of a better field of garden or grounds large garden. I found it easiest to start with a small garden plot and extended and expanded over the years. While experimenting with the size of your garden, you know how to plant of each of vegetarian and need food, as your pets.
For my garden, I started with a small plot of land, which does not grow on other plants and flowers. As an avid gardener, this is unacceptablefor the course of all the available disk space must be used. So that the area I put in my garden is an irregular shape, and X is equal to about 9 meters 17 meters in height. I found that this size works best for me and I would certainly enough for me to grow vegetables, 2 box turtles and allows a variety of vegetables than for the 3 colonies of birds. The 3 cages include 2 Rosellas, Bourkes, and a colony of a colony of male fly-in "or Cockatiels rescue. It also includes my 2 Goffin Cockatooswith vegetables.
PHASE TWO AND ENVIRONMENT: The next step in planning a garden is the climatic environment in which they live and the best vegetables that grow in your area and assess the best time to plant all kinds of vegetables. Do not forget that you can use this for your pets, as the cultivation of plants are only the elements of good nutrition, they are, and of course they like and eat vegetables.
My garden is located in the southwestern desert of AZ and thanks toHell our summer many common vegetables are not easy to do very well here, or planted in winter to avoid frying in our summer sun. Some experiments that determine which work best for your area. A good source is the local university extension for horticulture business. I suggest looking at your city and Cooperative Extension horticulture, a website for your region of the country are located.
For the desert southwest, I found that manyVegetables are not good, if planted in a good position at the right time in years. The plants in my garden, full sun, but they create a microclimate by susceptible plants in addition to large and aggressive-plants and thus for more shade. For example, I have a large wisteria growing over a garden and I plant my green bean plants on the east side this allows for cooling shade in the afternoon. Keeping the layout to make this microclimate.
THIRD PHASE / IVegetables? Currently I grow carrots, various squash, beans, corn, eggplant (for us), tomatoes (for turtles), many types of peppers, green leaves, zucchini, pumpkins and flowers year. I discovered that the seeds planted for leafy vegetables in the fall must in my area later to a good start to the spring or winter growth. The other plants to grow, it gives me a mixture of seeds and plant shoots and usually in late winter, so a good harvest in summer. One suggestion is to collect seedsTo allow your plants from each harvest, easy and inexpensive to replant the following year. Once again, experimentation is the best, and you over time what is the best and enjoy what your pets. I find that my Ornate Box turtles love to eat almost anything, but the corn, pumpkin, vegetables, tomatoes, carrots and baby – oh, yes, and love zucchini. My birds enjoy all kinds of peppers, corn, some squash, tops of carrots and sprouts of all, especially leafy vegetables.
As a side note,I also grew a variety of herbs and I found that my birds love them and that are easy, even in the heat of the summer to grow our AZ. Some of the plants that you plant in my garden, but most of them are planted in pots aviary. My aviary has performed nebulizer outwards during the summer and that looks like a good microclimate for the herbs to make pots. The pots feel comfortable allowing the leaves and stems of each visit to the aviary. The birds and turtles now expect a "gift"each visit, and my pots of herbs to make this an easy task. Although I have a large selection of herbs that I have found that currencies do not distinguish well, a variety of flavors and fragrances and to be accepted by the birds.
FOUR STEP / AGREEMENT OF VEGETABLES & FLOOR: Okay, so that a flower garden, and not very organized my garden full of flowers and certainly not organized. I could not have a large piece of land with vegetables and not just the color, so some haveResearch has found that experience in Marigold AZ large (often live) all summer and some insect repellent natural factors help in biological control of insects for your garden. I bought commercial marigold seeds and threw them literally the first plant in the garden. These hours grow each year from seeds that have dropped and it seems to have a good job immediately parasites do.
Ask for the design of your vegetables, I recommend consider access to individual plantPlants for harvest. My provision of access to the length and breadth of the plot sometimes makes it a challenge, but I like the look so stay with her. The best set-up for cultivation is long and narrow lines that access to each of the irrigation systems and simple.
Also consider how the rise of individual plants. Vegetables like squash vines and soil, it will be easier than other installations and distribution outside of your property. As they grow, you can put in place must be manipulated, butDaily Analysis and design of your garden. Another possibility is to have two properties with a specification for the vine and other plants such as carrots, peppers and tomatoes.
The soil is perhaps the most important thing, that when planting and it is important to change the world from a planted. In AZ we have a very poor soil, but I'm still able to grow beautiful gardens, through an amendment prior to planting with mulch and organic mulch and then inGrowing season. So basically I was with what I had on the floor with little improvement to the first and led around the garden following the garden has continued because of the mulch, in a land of beauty, with much better soil for vegetables.
Step Five / CARE for the crop growing: There are several support options to make it easy for you to garden, but I like the old-fashioned method of irrigation by hand and organic fertilizer. However, if you did this time a simple batteryoperated timer and irrigation system can always be purchased at department stores box. This method is not expensive and I used the timer tap for my mister system of birds and find that work well. Thesis timer can also connect to a drip or sprinkle irrigation system for the newspaper of your garden with little effort.
In relation to the label, please always remember that your pets are and maybe even your family to avoid eating these vegetables, then, all commercial pesticides. I found the bestMethod is planting companion with daisies and grasses. Calendula has worked form me to keep the pests and "smelly" herbs also seem well-pesticides for the garden.
One thing to remember is an organic garden, do not expect perfection. It is found in grocery stores in the United States and products have the look of vegetables or fruit, perfect absolutely perfect size and shape of spots is used freely. I learned to accept different sizes and shapes from our garden andA degree of parasites.
I believe that planting companion is helpful, but if additional verification, I had to use a spray and soap that seems to help to control pests and to prevent infestation.
SIX STEP / HARVEST: The agreement from my garden for the collection continues throughout the spring and summer, to keep all my well-fed pets allowed. I try to plant vegetables with different rates of maturation and continues to hold plant throughout the season for harvesting, asas long as possible. As a result I can get my daily walk the garden and one days worth of vegetables for the birds and turtles. In a typical day I collected more squash – zucchini, squash and others, many peppers, tomatoes, beans and vegetables. But, of course, the availability of vegetables at harvest, will change continuously during the season allowed me to give my animals a day with a rich variety of nutritious meals.
CONCLUSION: I hope this article with the statements of other exotic animalsStart your own garden. How do you enrich with minimal effort, time and materials you can have your pet's diet and life and joy to see them to see, experience the fruits of your labor.
