This week at the Redwood Sustainable Agriculture Farm, we have been busy trying to keep our beds in the best shape possible. Even though the weather is now shifting and the seasons are changing, it is still important to take care of our beds even though not much planting or harvesting can be done. In the farm, many of us focused mainly on our Maintenance Jobs in order to get the farm prepared for the upcoming winter and simply making our farm a better place to farm and create effective ways to manage our farm. This week also consisted of plenty of classroom time in which we all took results that we accumulated in this semester from our beds and converted it into information for the entire class and even ourselves to learn about what future plans and how to make our farm more sustainable in the years to come.
In our bed, A1, we noticed that our crop yield was pretty high, however our compost was not that much. After learning from our data that we have collected, we have a new goal to produce plants that can be used for compost in order to help our soil grow and make a perfect place for calorie crops to grow in. Many others presented about their beds and talked about their yields and problems that have occurred during this semester. -Aarti
