This week on the RHS Sustainable Agriculture Farm, we put in a lot of good work cleaning up our beds and also started our new management jobs. We started the week off with a farm walk. On the farm walk we observed the progress we've made from the beginning of the year and we also pointed out areas that need more work. Some areas needing extra work are the pathways. They need cardboard and wood chips to be laid down along with some light weeding. There are also some beds with plants growing onto the paths which should be trimmed back. The rest of the farm work this week was devoted to our one beds and learning our new management jobs. We have also been using this week to polish our final drafts of our companion reports. Personally, the companion report has made me more aware of beneficials and pests that are prevalent on our farm. On Friday we began a film about bees called More Than Honey. It detailed the life of honey bees and how these beneficials help plants. It also showed the different ways that bees are used by humans. Next week we look forward to hearing from our year 2 students and the lessons they have planned for us on Monday.
