This week block day was very busy with painting signs for the browns and sticks piles in the garden, as well as the lid for the amendments bin. Due to the composting area being moved across the farm to next to the hoop house a few weeks back, the farm was in need of some new signs to make the farm easier to navigate, and the signs will also be easy to spot for newcomers to the farm, and for those of us used to the old layout of the farm.
Other students also started to plant seedlings into 6-section carriers, and worked on building up the compost pile. Lauren and I picked up the compost from the CEA, who were happy with our arrival to take the compost out to the farm. Our beds also needed some maintenance with some weeding as well as adding some nutrients to the soil as a result of the soil tests that we finished a week ago.
On Monday and Tuesday, we worked on a lot of review for the upcoming midterm and seminar on Monday and Tuesday of next week, as well as going over the compost reading log that we finished for Tuesday's class.
