Since the pumps in the lead in the lead from the moor were switched off in the spring of 2017 and the moor, which has been converted into arable land, has undergone a renaturation process, an extremely beautiful natural landscape has developed on the eastern shore of Lake Ossiach.
At the beginning of the 1930s, the moor was drained and the newly created meadows were used for agriculture. Over the decades, this meant that the water quality of the Ossiacher See in the eastern bay deteriorated due to fertilizers and pesticides that were washed out, as can be read on the website of the Province of Carinthia.
Today the moor has been renatured and, as the “European Protected Area Tiebelmuund-Pencil Tire Moor”, is a paradise for animals and plants. And also for people. The approximately 80 hectare nature area has become a destination in recent years, where visitors should also exemplify and cultivate the gentle treatment of our immediate environment.
Heliconia caribaea-Large erect red bracts. This species can become very large under ideal conditions. It will even grow in lava rock with a little mulch and fertilizer. Full sun to light shade. Best where temperatures are above 55F. Hawaiian Tropical Nursery
The Lower Rhein or Niederrhein I just recently discovered is not lower than sea level it is just saturated with a high water table and much flooding, but with flooding comes rich silt that acts as an organic fertilizer for those that farm the flood plains.
Pictured here is the real star of mankind moving out of the Medieval times and into todays prosperous age, the horse, pictured here the Draught Horse breed to be heavily muscled and stout to pull the plow without slipping or injury .
Two further innovations the horse collar and the shoe in the 11th century allowed for better plowing which supported population increase in Europe of about 30% this in turn put people in closer proximity in the villages and cities which in turn increased disease opportunities which in the 14th centaur resulted in all the population gains being wiped out by Black Plague.
The farmers in this region worked under a manor system where a landowner would have several hundred acres of land and would found a manor house, church and pastor and then populate the holdings with farmers that would build a house and work several acres each to support themselves,
the lord of the manor and the church but not in this order.

Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.
A loaded fertilizer train crosses Old Geyser Creek west of the town of Geyser on the former Great Northern line between Great Falls and Laurel. The unique geological feature distant right is known as Square Butte. I narrowly got this in sun by seconds and was not as fortunate on the next few shots of this guy...
45498 (Valea lui Mihai-Várpalota) The industrial track branches off from Várpalota station, which serves the traffic of the fertilizer factory in Pétfürdő. The industrial track usually has several trains running on a daily basis, usually to Romania and Serbia. The train in the picture also arrived from Romania for loading, and then, after loading, it returned there with the locomotive of the Kárpát Raiway Kft.

I'm still getting to know this aperture priority pocket camera.
I let my garden and yard go AU NATUREL this year again; no weed killer, no fertilizer - and it turned out great..... wild and free
We live one block from the woods so the seedlings of all those weeds and grasses blew over and decorated my garden.

One of the neoregelia bromeliads in the garden. The tiny leaves of the pomegranate tree above fall into it; they decompose in the water between the bromeliad leaves and provide the plant with nutrients.
My last posting for 2021 and I wish all friends here a safe and healthy new year, in which things will hopefully improve.
This interestingly repainted Plehac is rented by the MMV Zrt from the owner Translog Slovakia. It passes Komárom with a loaded fertilizer train towards Curtici.
Thanks for the assistance of the MMV Zrt.

An empty fertilizer train out of Benkelman, NE, pulls into the Iowa Fertilizer's nitrogen fertilizer plant near Wever. This is a brand new fertilizer plant that opened up in 2017 on the BNSF Hannibal Sub about 13 miles south of Burlington, IA. The train has pulled into the loop track to spot the train and un-DP the train that is 1x1. Iowa Fertilizer has on their web-site that this is the 1st greenfield nitrogen fertilizer facility constructed in the United States in more than 25 years! Looks like the Burlington Junction does the in-house switching for this plant. They switch crew had to clear off this loop track so this empty could yard.

Here we get a better view of Poole Agribusiness, a fertilizer supplier, in Monte Vista, CO. To the right is US 285 that parallels the tracks from Alamosa to Monte Vista, CO.

"Country Perfume" (aka manure) being spread on the neighbour's and our fields, using a drag-line. This method causes much less damage to the fields than would a heavy, possibly 20 Ton, manure spreader. The dual wheels also help spread the weight, again causing less damage to the field.

Also known as Red Clover. All species of Clover as well as other kinds of legumes, are nitrogen-fixing plants. With the help of bacteria in their root nodules, they convert atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for themselves and other plants! Thus, Clover is beneficial for improving soil fertility and reducing the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.
