How to maintain your garden?

A well-tended garden is an important part of feeling at home.

That's why we ask ourselves how to maintain our garden.

Regular maintenance is therefore essential.

Carefully plan your plant selection and garden layout 🌱

Before embarking on any maintenance, think carefully about the layout of your garden, taking into account the different zones and spaces for plants, flowers, trees and paths.

Choose plants adapted to your region's climate and soil for easy maintenance.

 

Choose low-maintenance shrubs such as arbutus, privet and laurel.

Prepare your garden soil 🌿

Un sol sain est la base d’un jardin.

Weed regularly to eliminate weeds that can choke your plants.

Enrichissez le sol avec du compost ou des engrais naturels pour favoriser la croissance des végétaux.

 

Un sol bien préparé retient mieux l’eau et les nutriments, ce qui est essentiel pour la santé des plantes.

Water wisely during drought 💧

Watering can be crucial for a garden. However, many regions are affected by a severe drought, which has led to numerous water restrictions that must be respected.

Monitor daily for pests and diseases 🐛

Inspect your plants regularly for signs of pests or disease.

By acting quickly, you can prevent their spread and protect the health of your plants.

Use natural methods to keep pests at bay.

Prune regularly ✂️

Pruning plants, shrubs and trees is essential for healthy, aesthetic growth.

Prune dead or diseased branches to stimulate regrowth.

Also remove spent flowers to encourage the production of new ones.

The crucial issue of water tables this summer

The crucial issue of groundwater is one that must be taken into account for a more certain future.

These water tables play a crucial role in the supply of drinking water.

Cependant, ces réserves souterraines d’eau douce sont actuellement confrontées à des défis importants, notamment en raison des épisodes de sécheresse récurrents partout en France.

Alors que l’été est arrivée, l’enjeu des nappes phréatiques devient vital pour garantir la disponibilité d’une ressource essentielle à notre quotidien.




À l’heure actuelle, de nombreuses nappes phréatiques en France présentent un niveau très bas. 

In addition, prolonged dry spells and climate change are contributing to this worrying situation. 

Find out more about Drought in France.

La plupart des régions françaises affichent des sols inférieurs à la normale en cette période de l’année.

It is possible to observe a reduction in the quantity of water available for different uses, leading to water restrictions and shortages.

La diminution du niveau des nappes peut entraîner une baisse du débit des cours d’eau, une altération de la qualité de l’eau, et menacer la biodiversité qui en dépend. 

Fragile ecosystems, such as wetlands, are particularly vulnerable to falling water tables.

Faced with the challenges facing groundwater, conservation measures are essential. We need to reduce excessive withdrawals and encourage more sustainable practices.

How covid affects men proven and not fully understood facts

How covid affects men: proven and not fully understood facts

Healthy Man

It has been proven that SARS-CoV-2 virus (coronavirus) can penetrate the seminal fluid. This fact has also been confirmed for patients with COVID-19. From this we can conclude that, like hepatitis, measles, herpes viruses, coronavirus can have a negative impact on reproductive health. And there are understandable reasons for this, related to certain effects of covid on certain tissues and organs. In the worst cases, men face infertility.

Coronavirus damages testicular tissue

The main effect of covid on men is related to its effect on testicular tissue. The virus enters the body by the respiratory route and then travels generalized to all organs and systems, including the heart, intestines, thyroid, and genitals.

Through receptors the virus gets to certain enzymes in the testicular cells. In addition to damage to their tissues, it leads to disruption of sperm formation. Their quantity, quality, motility can decrease. There is evidence that coronavirus increases the fragmentation of DNA of sperm nuclei. This means breakage and damage of their chains, i.e. deterioration of ejaculate quality.

This fact was proved by scientists during postmortem studies of testicular tissue of patients with COVID-19. Specialists found edema, spermatogenesis disorders and complete absence of spermatozoa in the seminal tubules. Coronavirus was also detected in the sperm of over-infected men: in the disease stage in 15% of patients, and in the recovery stage in 8% of those examined.

Another complication of the coronavirus is inflammation of the testicles with orchitis. Some men experience vascularization by the formation of new blood vessels, while others complain of scrotal discomfort.

Covid has a negative effect on blood vessels

Another cause of the negative impact on male health is endothelial dysfunction, also caused by coronavirus. Here we are talking about disruption of the mucous membrane of small blood vessels. Because of this, the tissues that they feed do not receive sufficient blood supply and lose the ability to fully perform their functions. Endothelial dysfunction in the penis leads to erectile dysfunction.

Coronavirus causes a general inflammatory reaction

Covid and potency in men have a connection not only because of the direct effect of the virus on the genitals. Another reason for the deterioration of sexual function is the general inflammatory reaction that the coronavirus causes. The body inevitably reacts to it, which in men can manifest itself as a decrease in testosterone levels and a weakening of libido.

Other factors

Male fertility after covid is affected not only by the virus itself. The negative effect on sexual function is caused by medications prescribed for treatment and anxiety. Another provoking factor is oxidative stress, the pathological effect of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on spermatozoa. SARS-CoV-2 acts here as a factor provoking the development of oxidative stress. Therefore, antioxidants are used to treat patients with COVID-19, including the preservation of reproductive function.

What can we conclude

Does covid affect male potency? Yes, there have been documented cases all over the world that men who have undergone COVID-19 have a dramatic decline in fertility, weakened libido, worsened erections and impaired ejaculation. This is associated with testosterone deficiency, progression of endothelial dysfunction, testicular tissue damage

What to do in this case?

The extent to which the situation is reversible is not yet known. This means that even with an asymptomatic or mild course, there may be further consequences on the genital system. Erectile dysfunction, orchitis, spermatogenesis disorders can develop as complications. Infertility is not excluded, but according to experts, it is of a partial nature, and over time the situation can be corrected. But there is no 100% data on this yet, because the question of the consequences in the long term is still under study.

At the same time, there are now medical protocols for managing patients who plan to become pregnant after recovering from a coronavirus infection. Researchers recommend that men who are planning to become fathers have a spermogram.

Drought in France

In France, the drought system cuts across two different administrative structures: 

  • The water management structure, which follows the geographical limits of the watersheds, a homogeneous unit from the point of view of water,
  • The alert structure, which follows the administrative boundaries of the state organization: the Departments.

When a water shortage is felt in a watershed, each concerned Department issues a decree to restrict water uses. This decree is issued by the Prefecture, and sent to all the mayors concerned.

Grass carbon footprint

Grass has much more than decorative virtues. Occupying 90-95% of green areas in private gardens and public green spaces, its contribution is multiple: 

  • It filters dust particles in the air,
  • Thanks to photocatalysis, it captures polluting gases (CO2, NO2)
  • It filters rainwater by capturing heavy components,
  • It absorbs noise in the city,
  • It reduces temperatures. 

According to a British study (*), grass captures twice as much carbon as a deciduous forest (oak, poplar, mulberry), for the same floor area. 

Thus, for an area of 1,000 m2, the lawn: 

  • Produces the amount of oxygen needed for 16 people,
  • Captures the CO2 production of 3 cars.

Water and Grass

Lawn is a grass, a family of plants which also include grasses and cereals. Grass is often a mixture of several species, the main ones being: 

Automatically generated image containing grass, outdoor, plant, field Description
  • Ryegrass,
  • Kentucky bluegrass,
  • Red fescue;
  • Agrostid,
  • The meadowsweet,
  • Tall fescue.

There are over 200 varieties, depending on the Group for the Study and Control of Varieties and Seeds (GEVES).

Its water needs

We are not talking about the water requirements of the lawn in general. It depends on the moisture conditions of the soil and the air. These are measured in meteorology by a parameter called evapotranspiration (or EVP).

An image containing grass, outdoor, field, green Description automatically generated

The community estimates that a lawn needs 4 to 6 liters of water per day per m2, up to 8 liters in the dry period. At the average price per m3 of water, this would come to 0.7 € / m2 / month. This is what everyone should spend to have a beautiful lawn. To this are added maintenance products and mowing.
