This week in sustainable agriculture we weeded all of the beds and we began spring planting. It seems like the winter rain and frost has stopped for the year so we started planting kale in the E and C beds. We also are watching a documentary in class about the effects of industrial agriculture and how cuba overcame its oil crisis through organic farming. It was interesting to see how organic farming almost always has a community built around it. This week we were also tested on our weeding ability and were graded based upon how good the bed looked before and after. We covered the beds with some compost and row cover once we were done and now it is ready for planting
