This week in Sustainable Agriculture, we started out by working on our crop report. On Monday we had a chance to edit our reports, and on Tuesday each student presented their crop to the class. Each student told the class a couple of interesting things that they found about their crop. A fact that I found interesting about the Dragon fruit is that it originated from Mexico. Another interesting fact that I heard from the presentations is that Basil was first put into cultivation in India!
On Wednesday, we started off the day by being introduced to our new Soil and Water unit. We were given some papers that explained the soil experiments that we had to do within the next month or so. Knowing the health of the soil in our beds is very important because the healthier the soil is, the healthier the plants are going to be. We would know the health of the soil by measuring how much Humus(nutrients) it has, and how much silt/clay is in it. In the next few weeks we can be able to determine whether or not our soil is healthy and if it's not, we might have to add more compost and other types of minerals to it.
