  • Sustainable development in Iberostar | Green Garden Corp. | Green Garden Corp.

    sustainable development in iberostar playa paraiso At the Iberostar Hotels & Resorts Group, they are aware that to become a leader in responsible tourism, they need to contribute to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the United Nations. In Green Garden Corp. we collaborate with the composting initiative of the "Wave of Change" movement, with objectives such as: reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, reducing the amount of garbage in landfills and providing nutrients to the earth. Through this movement, the use of plastics is minimized to prevent their accumulation in the seas, the responsible consumption of fish and shellfish is encouraged, alliances are made with the scientific community and other actions are implemented to promote coastal health. At Iberostar Playa Paraíso they assure that "it is essential to adopt a regenerative and restorative economy in all operations to ensure the health of the oceans around the world and to improve the resilience of the company." Their goal is to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill by 100% in reference to the year 2021. To do this, one of the actions being taken is the implementation of a composting program, in line with the European Strategy on a circular economy . Through composting, we can reuse organic waste (gardening and food) to use them as biofertilizers, without creating waste. Proceso de compostaje en Iberostar Playa Paraíso At Green Garden Corp. we collaborate in the composting process, with our client Iberostar in the Playa Paraíso complex, Riviera Maya in Mexico, with organic garden waste and with leftover food from restaurants and kitchens of the 3 hotels in the complex. The final result of the composting is used to incorporate the gardens and in the production of plants in the nursery. Thus, we contribute to the improvement of green areas through waste recycling and reuse processes, avoiding its hauling to landfill. References: 1. Fluxá Rosselló, M. (n.d.). Grupo Iberostar.

  • Use of Sargassum-based fertilizer | Green Garden Corp. | Green Garden Corp.

    CLIMATE CHANGE action: BIO-FERTILIZER BASED ON SARGASSUM At Green Garden Corp., we have always been committed to transparent corporate social responsibility. For this reason, we want to take advantage of this medium to share that we have begun to use Sargassum-based fertilizer in different hotels that we care for and maintain. In recent years, we have experienced an increase in sargassum on many beaches around the world. In addition to its high cost of removal, this algae gives off an unpleasant odor when it begins its putrefaction process, which causes a bad image and a lot of inconvenience for tourists. In addition, the largest economic source of many of these Caribbean countries is tourism, so Sargassum ends up affecting the country's economic growth. A study by the Superior Technological Institute of Misantla obtained the following results during the preparation and use of this type of fertilizer: “By applying this biofertilizer to agricultural crops, the use of “synthetic fertilizers” (Finck, 1998), and the cost of “agricultural production” (INEGI, 2007) are significantly reduced. The quality of the "crops" is increased (INEGI, 2007), maintaining soil moisture and offering greater availability of nutrients. The beaches are kept free of visual pollution. National business opportunity for mulch, a useful input for landscape design and gardening, leachate, alginate, etc.” In Figure 1 we can observe the process for the elaboration of this type of fertilizer based on Sargassum (Cuxim Suaste & Balam Cen). At Green Garden Corp. we collaborate with Dianco México , a company made up of environmentalists, engineers, biotechnologists, agronomists and scientists specialized in Phycology. We also share values as they are passionate about technology, sustainability, innovation and the use of natural resources. With a sustainable, innovative, automated process with "0" waste, 100% of the sargassum collected by governments, hotels, sargaceras and transporters is used to transform it into organic fertilizers. The damage to the ecology, to the image of the beaches in the face of tourism, to the filtration of leachate into the subsoil and the damage that these cause to the health of the population is avoided, by preventing the sargassum from continuing to deposit in the jungle. This process also offers a real solution to the problem of erosion, since up to 95% of the sand is recovered to be returned to its beaches. The process they follow is based on the ISO 9001-2015 standard and is as follows: Storage - Treatment - Sand extraction - Salt extraction - Heavy metal removal - Nutrient extraction - Bagasse processing - Bacterial enrichment - Packing and packaging - Storage - Delivery Figures always help put things in perspective: 150,000 tons of sargassum will be transformed per year (1 ton in 5 minutes) 100% of the sargassum (wet and dry) will be used 0% waste generated 95% of the sand contained in the sargassum will be recovered 2,600 tons a year of sand will be able to return to its beaches 300 tons of PET, glass, aluminum and garbage will be separated and recycled every year 70% of our process water will be reused 1,500 tons will have the capacity of our Collection Center 6,000 tons of Biofertilizers will be packaged monthly 4,800 tons of Soil Improver will be packaged per month 2,000,000 small agricultural producers may be benefited per month 5,000,000 hectares will be able to replace agrochemicals with organic fertilizers Millions of trees will not be felled with our pulp production (2nd stage). We are proud to collaborate with Dianco México to continue helping to keep our world healthy and in continuous evolution. References: Cuxim Suaste, M. E., & Balam Cen, R. V. (n.d.).

  • Climate change affects golf courses | Green Garden Corp. | Green Garden Corp.

    Climate change also have an effect on golf courses Apart from the usual maintenance tasks on a golf course, many sometimes forget that, like any other agricultural crop, we are subject to inclement weather. La Niña , for example, could last until 2023, warns the UN . This phenomenon, which is lasting longer than expected, is causing abundant rainfall in Panama, already abundant at this time of year, as can be seen in the following map: Not only is the player's playability affected, golf course flooding can cause serious damage that leaves a lasting impact on its terrain. Flooding conditions severely impair daily maintenance and access to many areas of a golf course by cutting machines. Soil saturation occurs over long periods leading to oxygen deprivation and turf death in areas without adequate drainage. In severe situations, soil removal and turf restoration may be necessary to remedy affected areas. Beyond the damage caused by flooding, deposits of silt, branches and debris impede routine maintenance. Flooding can also damage golf course structures by washing away bridges. Last week we suffered the consequences of climate change at Coronado Golf, as can be seen in the photos below: Bunkers are especially susceptible to erosion, collapsing their slopes and contaminating the sand. Repairs can take days, weeks, or even months to complete and can also be very costly. If a golf course reopens too soon after flooding, the chance of secondary damage increases. Saturated turf areas can become compacted and rutted by cart and player traffic. Compacted soil in moist areas can lose its structure, porosity, and the ability to present a high-quality surface. But there is nothing that a professional team with good will cannot solve!

  • Jamaica's tourism launches economy 5.7% | Green Garden Corp. | Green Garden Corp.

    JAMAICA'S tourism LAUNCHES ECONOMY by 5.7% The Jamaican Minister of Tourism, Edmund Bartlett, has confirmed that the tourism sector is driving the recovery after the pandemic of the island, whose economy has grown by 5.7% in the second quarter of the year. In his own words, tourism and hospitality have contributed "significantly" to this economic growth, collected in the latest report from the Planning Institute Of Jamaica (PIOJ, for its acronym in English). In Jamaica, not only have international arrivals already far exceeded 2021 figures, but according to figures from its Tourist Board, the length of stay has returned to 2019 levels of 7.9 nights and, more importantly, the average spend per visitor has gone from $168 per person per night to $182. This means, as Edmund Bartlett has highlighted, that “the tourism sector is generating more foreign exchange per visitor, so there is more money circulating in the broader economy and this benefits various players in the industry”. "The results are a clear indication of the resilience of the sector, which is constantly recovering," according to the island's Minister of Tourism. With arrivals rising month-on-month, Bartlett has said they remain optimistic numbers will return "to record 2019 levels by 2023." Tourism represents 10% of direct contributions to GDP and 33% of indirect contributions in Jamaica, so the impact during the pandemic and until the reopening of the borders in June 2020 was significant. Last November Bartlett predicted that in 2022 Jamaica would receive 3.2 million visitors, of which 1.1 million would be cruise passengers, and that by 2024 they expected to reach 4.5 million visitors.

  • Green cutting in golf courses | Green Garden Corp. | Green Garden Corp.

    GREEN CUTTING IN GOLF COURSES Since the day Edwin Budding invented the first mechanized lawn mower in 1830, there has been constant improvement in the condition and playability of greens. Today, cutting is one of the main practices used by superintendents or greenkeepers to achieve smooth and fast greens. Césped Paspalum Vaginatum Given the climatic conditions of the Dominican Republic, the task of cutting the green is carried out daily. Frequent mowing helps greenkeepers maintain high playability turf by providing several short- and long-term benefits: controls vertical growth helps grass spread laterally promotes high shoot density produces smooth surfaces creates less friction with the golf ball increases the speed of the greens for the enjoyment of the players. Cortadora Toro Greenmaster Flex 21 On the other hand, properly sharpened and adjusted mowers do a better job of cutting grass blades cleanly and evenly. This benefits the health of the turf and the quality of the playing surface. The operator guides the mower back and forth across the green in straight lines, creating an attractive stripe pattern. Alberto Santana con una cortadora Toro Greenmaster Flex 21 Another basic concept of mowing greens is determining the height of cut. This setting is completely particular to the course and is determined by the superintendent based on turf type, topography of the greens, seasonal growth rate, and desired speed of the greens. What may be appropriate in one field may not be in another. A very important point, which is often misunderstood, is that not all grasses are created equal. A cutting height that is considered appropriate for bentgrass (Agrostis) might not be appropriate for Poa annua, Bermuda ultradwarf, or Paspalum, as is the case here. Determining the height of cut depends not only on the type of grass, but also on equipment, expectations, and labor availability. All grasses have a cutting height tolerance. It is typical for the height of cut to adjust up and down throughout the year based on seasonal growth rates and in response to stressful environmental conditions. Proper mower setup is necessary to achieve the desired cutting height and playability. Proper adjustment is critical to producing a correct cut, higher quality greens, and desired green speed.
