Un hôtel à insectes pour son jardin. [...] L'objectif de ces hôtels est d'offrir, surtout en milieu urbain, des abris pour les insectes pollinisateurs indigènes comme les abeilles. La mortalité de ces pollinisateurs est en hausse, notamment à cause de l'usage des pesticides de la famille des néonicotinoïdes. Ces insectes n'ont aussi généralement que très peu d'endroits en ville où ils peuvent se reproduire. 1, record 2, French, - h%C3%B4tel%20%C3%A0%20insectes

It is possible to run a tree nursery by growing seedlings of many species in containers, In large commercial nurseries, container-grown stock often include evergreens such as holly and yew, and ornamental trees such as garden cultivars of native species. Containerised plants do not have a large root-ball, and, with the exception of evergreens, should be treated as for bare-rooted stock and planted only in the dormant season. 2, record 3, English, - container%20grown%20stock

On peut actuellement trouver bon nombre de plantes en conteneur, cela va du petit conifère de 20 Cm de haut à l'arbre fruitier haute-tige ou même un chêne de 3-4 m de haut. Théoriquement, en conteneur, vous pouvez planter toute l'année car on n'arrache pas la plante, puisqu'elle est en pot (ou en sachet) et cultivée dans ce pot pendant plusieurs mois à plusieurs années. Mais, il y a toujours un mais, si au mois d'août, vous voulez planter un arbre de 2 m de haut avec une grande surface foliaire, que la température est assez élevée et qu'il ne pleut quasiment pas, plusieurs précaution doivent être prise : il faut arroser tous les jours (pas question de partir en vacances) voir deux fois par jour (par vent d'Est ou de canicule). Il est donc préférable de planter les grands sujets en conteneur en de meilleures conditions faute de quoi il sera difficile de le faire reprendre. 4, record 3, French, - v%C3%A9g%C3%A9tal%20en%20conteneur

La féverole (Vicia faba) est une légumineuse qui présente une assez grande variabilité morphologique (poids, forme, coloration de la graine, etc.). D'après la grosseur de la graine, on distingue classiquement trois sous-espèces : la féverole à petits grains (Vicia faba minor), la féverole à grains moyens (V. faba equina) et la féverole à gros grains, ou fève (V. faba major). 5, record 4, French, - f%C3%A9verole%20%C3%A0%20petits%20grains
