Kokédama pour tous

Tuto :Graphiques, ludiques, écolos et vivantes, ces compositions ont tout pour séduire, jusqu’aux jardiniers les moins doués.

Qu’est-ce que le kokédama ?

Le kokédama, c’est la nouvelle tendance en matière de déco. Il s’agit de ces plantes placées dans un support design, enveloppées de mousse et formant une sphère.

Les kokédamas (traduire littéralement par « boule de mousse ») sont nés au début des années 90 au Japon. En fait, le kokédama est la fusion de plusieurs techniques traditionnelles japonaises : le bonsaï, pour le côté arbre miniature et l’ikébana, pour l’aspect arbre floral.

Vous pouvez également le créer vous-même. Le DIY (do-it-yourself) n’est-il pas, lui aussi, particulièrement tendance ces derniers temps ? Par ailleurs, le Kokédama est écologique car il remplace les pots en plastique. Vous trouverez les divers ingrédients dans les boutiques ou les sites dédiés à l’Art du bonsaï.

Les 10 points à savoir : 

  • Placez votre kokedama derrière une fenêtre voilée, pas de soleil direct. En été, éloignez-le de la fenêtre, surtout si elle est orientée plein sud. Rapprochez le de la fenêtre et écartez le rideau en hiver, pour lui donner un peu de soleil.
  • Le choix de la mousse est délicat car toutes ne sont pas aptes à être utilisées de la sorte. En France, le Ctenidium sp, est la mousse la plus utilisée. Elle est très résistante à la sécheresse, et s’adapte aux conditions ensoleillées à mi-ombragées. Elle forme un tapis d’un vert vif si l’atmosphère est humide, et vert mat quand il fait sec.
  • La mousse reste bien verte tant que l’on évite de pulvériser de l’eau dessus car, en intérieur, cela la fait brunir.
  • Le kokedama peut vivre deux ans dans la sphère de mousse (spathiphyllum, asparagus, aloé, phalaenopsis, lierre, beaucarnéa, certaines succulentes). D’autres vivent un an environ. Quand la plante se développe trop et que la tailler devient impossible, rempotez la dans un pot classique. Vous pouvez également confectionner une nouvelle sphère.
  • Il faut des plantes qui aient un certain graphisme. On utilise l’Asparagus plumosus ou l’Asparagus falcatus, tous deux au feuillage si léger, certaines fougères comme Davallia canariensis, des cactées comme Echeveria agavoides ou bien des euphorbes cactiformes (Euphorbia trigona), le jonc japonais (Acorus gramineus), le Ficus microcarpa ‘Ginseng’, aux racines aériennes sculpturales…

Comment fabriquer un kokédama?

Un Kokedama est composé de trois éléments : de la mousse, une plante, du substrat.

  1. Enlever la terre des racines des plantes.
  2. La remplacer par une terre plus compacte.
    1. Mélangez tourbe, terreau à cactus et argile, et ajoutez de l’eau pour obtenir une texture plus pâteuse.
    2. Donnez à la terre une forme de boule et recouvrez la de mousse.
  3. Ficeler la boule pour la suspendre au plafond.

Matériel nécessaire :

  • Plante adaptée à ce type de culture ;
  • ciseaux ;
  • mousse naturelle comme celle que l’on trouve dans les sous bois ;
  • argile noire (ketoh) ;
  • Akadama en grains moyens;
  • vermiculite ;
  • bassine ;
  • fil de nylon ou fil de coton noir.

Kokedama, Fleuriste, Printemps

Par étapes:

  1. Dans une bassine, plongez l’argile noire pendant une nuit dans un peu d’eau pour qu’elle se liquéfie.
  2. Le lendemain, retirez l’eau en surplus et mélangez l’argile (50%) à l’akadama (30%) et à la vermiculite (20%).
  3. L’akadama peut être remplacé par de la tourbe et la vermiculite par du sable de rivière si nécessaire.
  4. Pétrissez le tout jusqu’à former une pâte visqueuse, ajoutez de l’eau si nécessaire.
  5. Sortez la plante de son pot et démêlez les racines avec précaution.
  6. Coupez les racines jusqu’à 1/3 si le système racinaire est très développé.
  7. Appliquez ensuite le mélange tout autour des racines jusqu’à former une sphère de dix centimètres.
  8. Couvrez avec la mousse humidifiée au préalable et fixez le tout avec un fil de nylon ou de coton noir.
  9. Taillez la mousse afin de former une boule parfaite à l’aide de petits ciseaux.
  10. Plongez la sphère du kokedama dans de l’eau à température ambiante pendant 5 minutes. Laissez égoutter.

Il ne reste plus qu’à installer la plante sur son support.

Les petits + de PersoClo :

  • Choisissez une plante de préférence résistante, persistante et appréciant l’humidité. Elle doit également avoir une adaptation racinaire aisée. Le lierre, les fougères (comme la fougère davallia, de petite taille) ou une plante tropicale ( le petit palmier chamae dorea ou l’asparagus) sont des types de plantes particulièrement adaptés au Kokedama.
  • Choisissez également de la mousse bien épaisse, de celle qui pousse dans les bois par exemple. Pensez bien à la nettoyer afin d’enlever les parasites (insectes, petits escargots…)
  • Vous pouvez également créer votre substrat en mélangeant à proportion égale de l’argile (celle utilisée pour faire de la poterie par exemple), du terreau et de la sphaigne (qu’on trouve en jardinerie, à ne pas confondre avec la tourbe).
  • Vous pouvez le placer en intérieur ou en extérieur, mais préférez l’intérieur pour les plantes exotiques. Le Kokedama peut être suspendu a un fil, ce qui donne une ambiance poétique et originale. Il peut aussi être positionné sur des billes d’argile qui conserveront l’humidité.
  • Évitez de l’exposer aux courants d’air ou à la climatisation.
  • Surveillez bien son humidité. Son poids peut servir d’indicateur : s’il est léger, c’est qu’il a besoin d’eau ! Vous pouvez l’arroser classiquement ou par trempage, avec de l’eau si possible faiblement minéralisée. Vous pouvez aussi pulvériser régulièrement de l’eau sur la mousse afin qu’elle conserve son humidité.
  • Au bout d’un certain temps, les racines de la plante seront à l’étroit dans le Kokedama. Vous pouvez alors rempoter la plante, ou refaire un Kokedama après avoir taillé les racines, remis un nouveau substrat et de la nouvelle mousse autour.
  • Supprimer les feuilles fanées, pour l’esthétique mais également pour favoriser la venue des nouvelles pousses.

Transformation d’un T-shirt ample en débardeur ajusté – sans couture

I’ll show you how to turn this men’s T-shirt into a pretty tank top, and it’s seamless.

You need: scissors that cut the fabric well, the tshirt of your darling, a pencil or chalk to mark the Tshirt, a tank that suits you you want to take the form. That’s all !

Start by putting your tank top on the T-shirt, placing the top of the straps against the top of the T-shirt. Be careful to center the tank top.

Mark the entire tank top on the T-shirt. Use a white chalk on a dark tshirt or a pencil of greasy paper or charcoal on a light tshirt if you do not have sewing chalk.

Cut along the cuffs of the sleeves and collar. Remember to cut straps at least 2 cm wide: it takes enough width for it to be solid.

On each side cut fringes stopping at the mark you drew. Then cut the side of the T-shirt to split the fringes in half: one below and one above.

Pull on the fringes to roll the fabric. Tie each fringe of the top with the corresponding fringe of the bottom. Make two knots for that, hold on well.

You can, if you want, cut the fringes about 1 or 2 cm from the knots and cut the hem at the bottom of the T-shirt.

And tadadam! You’re done !

Recyclable and made in France, this mask protects bikers and cyclists from microparticles

Disappointed by the current pollution filters, two Frenchmen have designed a mask for motorcyclists and cyclists, R-PUR Nano. Packaged in an insertion and recyclable workshop, it filters out the smallest toxic particles in the air.

Throat irritated, runny nose, respiratory embarrassment … These evils related to air pollution, Matthieu Lecuyer and Flavien Hello, know them well. It was in Seoul, South Korea, that the two friends met. They then travel together to Asia and become aware of the harmful consequences of pollution.

Back in France, these two motorcycle enthusiasts settle in Paris, where they suffer the full impact of exposure to toxic micro-particles, when they borrow the device. They are not the only ones. Every year, air pollution causes 48,000 premature deaths in France. And road traffic is one of the main causes.

They decide to invest in anti-pollution masks, but the available offer disappoints them: “with some, one senses suffocation, contact with the face is non-existent, the metal ring at the nose is Painful, with the others it is the ears that suffer “. They also blame these masks for having too short a lifetime. “Some cost 30 or 40 euros but you have to throw them every two months …” says Flavien Hello.

Manufactured in Nantes

In 2015, they leave their job to design a mask anti-pollution, the R-PUR Nano, “comfortable and made in France, designed for lovers of two wheels”. Two years later, in June 2017, the two entrepreneurs have just collected the 15 000 euros they solicited on the crowfunding platform Kickstarter. All in just 48 hours!

For the design of their mask, the two friends turned to Pierre Henry Bor, a young fashion designer, and chose technical textiles, including a neoprene, made in Switzerland and used by the army and haute couture.

“We wanted something breathing, to keep the air cool in the event of heat,” says Flavien Hello. “We’ve struggled to find the best materials, to the scratch that does not cling to clothing, Fasteners have been specially designed to allow a helmet to be worn over the mask. ”

The product is manufactured in France, in a workshop near Nantes. Finally, the masks are packaged in an ESAT (Establishment and Help Services by Labor) of the 13th arrondissement of Paris, which participates in the social and professional integration of people with disabilities.

 

A layer of mechanical and electrostatic filtration traps the nanoparticles

The mask includes a reusable part, that of neoprene. This water-repellent layer protects all dust and liquids and allows the mask to not “become clogged in the event of rain”.

Inside, a disposable filter consists of several layers: the first provides mechanical and electrostatic filtration, which traps particles up to 0.001 micrometer. “It should be known that the EN149-FFP3 standard, which is the highest European respiratory mask standard, requires only a maximum filtration of 0.4 micrometers,” says Flavien Hello.

The second contains activated carbon, which treats odors but also filters out hazardous particles such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulfur dioxide and ozone. Finally, a fiber support allows the mask to withstand wear and not to moisten.

 

The hot air extraction valve allows 50% faster exhalation than with a conventional valve (Credit: R-PUR)
At the front of the mask, a patented hot air extraction valve allows 50% faster exhalation than with a conventional valve. “When you exhale, the mask stays dry, and the redirection of the hot air flows helps to prevent fogging on the visor or the glasses,” Flavien Hello said.

Interchangeable, the filter is replaced on average every 400 kilometers when traveling in agglomeration, every month and a half and can be brought back to the stores that distribute it for recycling. An application allows the user to indicate the number of kilometers he travels, in town and in the countryside, and to provide his GPS data. With this information, the application calculates the day on which the filter is to be changed.

According to the brand, the interchangeable part will cost between nine and thirteen euros, when the mask is released, scheduled for September. The mask, meanwhile, will be sold 89 euros in shop and by correspondence.

If R-PUR targets bikers and cyclists as a priority, it could also be useful for people

Explosion at Bangladesh textile factory: 13 dead

The Bangladeshi textile factory explosion has increased to at least 13 deaths and injured many people, the latest disaster to hit Bangladesh’s $ 30 billion textile industry.

Several dozen workers were present Monday evening in this six-storey factory located in an industrial area on the outskirts of Dacca when a boiler exploded. The deflagration caused a part of the building to collapse.

The authorities stopped the search for survivors, which lasted nearly 22 hours after the rescuers discovered two bodies in the toilet near the room where the destroyed boiler was located. This discovery brings to 13 the balance of the dead.
“Our five firefighters have completed the search for the entire area where the debris is located,” local official Mahmud Hasan told AFP.

The explosion occurred during boiler maintenance work at a time when the majority of the plant’s 5,000 employees were on leave because of Eid al-Fitr celebrations.
“If it had happened today, there would probably have been more deaths,” Mesba Faruqui, factory operations director told AFP.

One of the injured employees in a neighborhood hospital reported “negligence” to the plant’s managers who did not replace the boiler, but said that it was “constantly emitting warning signals” warning ‘a danger.

The cause of the disaster was not clear. The government has announced the establishment of a commission of inquiry into the explosion.
The factory located in the industrial district of Gazipur is owned by Multifabs, which manufactures clothing for brands like Littlewoods and Aldi, according to its website.

In April 2013, the collapse of the Rana Plaza had caused more than 1,100 deaths and highlighted the dark side of subcontracting. The major textile brands have since committed themselves to enhancing safety in this industry.

These northern entrepreneurs who bet (again) on the textile

A jacket from the Grain du Nord – Grain du Nord collection

The projects are multiplying in the textile sector of the Hauts-de-France, which turns the page of the black years …

The textile sector still employs 14,000 people in Hauts-de-France
Numerous development projects are emerging, aided by the success of Made in France

The beautiful days of the textile may be back in the Hauts-de-France. The sector, which still employs around 14,000 employees, is teeming with projects that had not been seen for a long time. To the point that some even find it hard to find enough employees to recruit.

Thus the underwear manufacturer Lemahieu is accompanied to train about ten new employees in two months. The company, which celebrates its 70 years of activity, employs 95 employees and seeks a total of fifteen dressmakers and seamstresses to accompany its development.
The “Made in France”, regional success

The success of the “Made in France” partly explains this good health, which resulted, in Lemahieu, in sales growth of 11% in 2016. “The minister who posed as a sailor (Arnaud Montebourg) had an effect Positive, but there is also innovation and the combined action of some players, “explains Olivier Diers, co-leader of Lemahieu.

In particular, the industrialist cited the French Slip’s culinary entrepreneurs, who knew how to value the know-how of Lemahieu, their supplier, while also communicating on the latest innovation, underwear “enriched” in cosmetics.

This appetite for the “locally made” is also what decided Leopold Rigaut, young employee of the school management Lille Ieseg, to try the adventure of textile. Sailing enthusiast, he designed a jacket made 100% in the Hauts-de-France, at workshops Audomarrois.

He has two weeks to complete the fundraising for his first collection (9,000 euros) on a participatory financing site. “It’s not easy to get started, but eventually I’ve found a lot of people who want to manufacture in the region.”
“We came out of the dark years”

The young creators of No. Co have, more than two years, succeeded. All four came out of the school of applied art of Roubaix (Esaat), they launched at the beginning of the year their brand of trendy T-shirts designed and entirely manufactured in the region. “The T-Shirt comes from Lemahieu, the ribbons of Comines, the consumables [motifs that decorate the T-shirts] of Tourcoing …”, describes Anaïs Defever, who assumes the function of artistic director, in the band of 4.

In the absence of direct funding, parastatal aid was “decisive” (BGE, CLAP) to launch the No-Co project. But they believe in it and hope to decline soon, too, a more extended range.

“We feel well, for three years, that we came out of the dark years,” says Jean-Dominique Aublin of the Union of textile industries of the North. “The effect of made in France looks sustainable, innovation exists. Development projects are there, and recruitments too.

histoire du textile

The importation and consumption of Indian women in France from the 17th to the 19th centuries

Listen to the emission of 53min History of the textile (3)

Third and last program dedicated to the history of textile, this morning the import and consumption of Indian in France of the seventeenth and nineteenth.
Mrs. Gros Davillier Roman & Cie in Wesserling

 

“The decision of the King’s council of October 2, 1686 put an end to the importation of Indian and most of the colored fabrics of Asia: The large quantity of cotton cloth painted in India gave rise to Not only to the transport of several millions out of the kingdom, but also to a diminution of the manufactories long established in France for the stuffs of silk, wool, linen, hemp, and at the same time the desertion of the workmen. [It is therefore necessary] to prevent the flow and flow of the said painted canvases, to defend any persons of whatever quality and condition, to expose them, to sell, and to individuals to buy them. Which will be found in the shops will be burnt, and the workshops installed in the kingdom to print the white cotton fabrics will be closed and the molds used for this work will be broken According to the municipal archives of Lyon “

This morning, we are dealing with the effects of the globalization of trade: the tremendous enthusiasm for fabrics from India called “Indian”, which, to the surprise of commercial companies, became the main commodity transported between Asia and Europe in the eighteenth century.

To the point of scaring the French entrepreneurs who had them banned in 1686. Mme de Pompadour obtained in 1759 that their importation was again authorized. Meanwhile, smuggling raged, and these fabrics reached France under the cloak. And this prohibition allowed foreign manufacturers (British, German, Swiss) to perfect themselves in this technology, prohibited in France.

This is how Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf, a German of Württemberg, takes advantage of the authorization of painted canvases to invent the Jouy-en-Josas factory, and thus Jouy’s canvas.
