If an all-glass house has been purchased it is as well to line the lower part during the period when in use as a propagating house, using either sheets of polythene film or roofing felt, to help maintain a more effective temperature control.

The greenhouse should be as large as the pocket and the amount of available space will allow because, strange as it may seem, large greenhouses are much easier to handle than small, for a variety of reasons. In the main a small house will be far more subject to wide temperature variations, heating up rapidly when the sun is out and cooling rapidly at night. It is much more difficult to maintain that indefinable rightness for growing that the gardener, for want of a better term, calls “a buoyant atmosphere” and the problem of heating is rather greater.

Microbiological contamination of the spice largely results from the long ‘fermentation’ process and the length of time required for sun-drying during which the berries are exposed to the elements. Contamination can be minimized by preventing the berries from coming into contact with the soil during harvest and handling and by drying on suitable raised racks. The problems of infection by micro-organisms and mould formation are greatly reduced if the berries are dried by artificial means. The temperature of drying must be carefully controlled, however, and it should not exceed 75 C since at higher temperatures loss of volatile oil by evaporation can ensue. Artificial drying of the berries by exposure to smoke from a wood fire can detract from the aroma of the spice.

The dried berries should be stored under as hygenic conditions as possible in a cool, dry atmosphere to prevent quality deterioration. The susceptibility to further infection by micro-organisms and development of mould are reduced by maintaining the moisture content of the spice below 12 per cent.

Bakugan are the hottest toys and games on the planet right now. Kids from all over are clamoring and imploring their parents to purchase them the Bakugan Battle Brawlers. What is a Bakugan? Well it is a highly habit-forming interactive game boasting some very cool Battle Brawlers that are the size of golf balls, with cool magnetic cards.

The Bukagan game is based on the amazingly popular cartoon.

Anyway, these Bakugan (the bright colored golf ball sized marbles) are rolled into the arena like marbles and they pop open to reveal themselves as creatures and robots. If they land on a card, they stay there until something else happens. If they don;t they are rolled into the arena again.

My kids absolutely love this Bukagan game, and if you remember the Pokemon card game from years ago, this is like that taken up a few levels!
