Last week on the farm

This week on the farm was busy but efficient. The class broke up into groups and worked on their projects for the farm that they chose. These projects were based on ideas that the students thought would improve the quality of the SustAg farm.  Our group's idea, for example, was to create a raised bed. raised beds are more soil efficient and we believe the time we would put into creating one would be worth the output the raised bed would generate. We used cinder blocks and logs for an outer barrier and dug a trench around our location for the walls we would be putting in later. This week was also sustainability week. On Wednesday and Friday we had speakers come in to talk to us about the dangers of both global warming and invasive species. Both issues are important and relevant to the class, and climate change specifically is something our farm is meant to counter. This was another successful week on the farm, and we're hoping for many more. -Zoe
