Thanksgiving

This week on the farm we had a short schedule so less time was spent attending to our beds and management jobs. The class mainly focused on turning in our companions report, where each student choose a beneficial or non beneficial companion and did a report about there companion. For my project I choose to learn about slugs, a main pest on our RHS farm. A very interesting way to deal with slug or snail problem in you garden is to set up a beer trap by using stale beer. By adding a container in the ground and pouring beer in the container, the slugs and snail are attracted to the yeast and fall in the beer and drown. 

The time that was spent on the farm was used to harvest crops for our farm to fork assignment where each student selects a certain crop and incorporates it into a prepared dish at home. Its a great way to become familiar with the foods you are growing and consuming. 

Happy Thanksgiving
