Rainfall

Rainfall over last weekend acted as a double edged sword at the RHS Farm. While water was saved in efforts to conserve, the hard landfill foundation the farm stands on, and the slightly angled topography of the land resulted in flooding in the lower level of the farm.

While the raised beds were able to retain some water, pathways in the back of the farm were flooded due to the rocky landfill foundation of the site.

"It's a challenge because we have a very high water table, which means we need to raise our beds." Said teacher and farm manager Mr. Stewart.
