Class Beds!

The past couple weeks in class, we have started to work on our class beds. Along with our personal beds, we have to now take care of another plot of land in the farm. These new beds need a lot of work to be rehabilitated to be used again. First, the removal of dead plants, weeding and aeration are needed to help the soil become healthy again. New soil with fertilizer is also added to help the beds and the crops in those beds become healthy. My class bed, C2 will be growing kale this cycle. After the kale regrows, it will then be able to be sold at market days, and to the CEA. SuStag is all about sustainability, and by selling our crops and adding them to the CEA's salad bar, it reinforces Redwood sustainability as a whole, and we are able to have more money for further class projects. We cannot wait to see how all the class beds turn out and are excited to have a new partner in the Sustainable Agriculture family.
