Working hard

This was a very busy and productive week on the farm. Rather than focusing solely on our individual one beds, the class worked collectively to work on the E beds. As a class, we spent a great deal of time and effort working to weed out compostable and invasive plants, while at the same time prepping the soil to plant a variety of seedlings. Additionally, we worked to reinforce the pathways throughout the garden using donated cardboard and wood chips. The class spent a lot of time working to make these beds (and soil) ready for new plants. Although we worked hard, there are still more beds to be worked and prepped.

As of now, most of the one beds have been prepped and have new plants growing. There is more work to be done and this will be achieved by working as a class again in our new management jobs. This week we were assigned new jobs. Students from previous jobs taught the incoming students how to carry out their new job to their best ability. It is important that we work in unison and execute our jobs properly so that the farm may function in the most effective way.

We have been experiencing a water leak that has resulted in parts of the farm being excessively wet, however, we are in the process of fixing that. 

Overall, the farm is looking better and better each day. It has greatly improved since the beginning of the year but, there is still many more things to do and ways to make the farm even better than it is now.
