Over the past couple weeks on the farm us RHS students have been reviving our beds from the Winter Break. Overgrown weeds and companion plants sprung up while we left our beds unattended. Personally, in my class bed, our group decided to remove a large section of vetch that was growing towards one end of our bed. Typically vetch is a good compost crop, which helps reach a compost goal we continually work towards. After taking the vetch out and weeding, our bed began to look as it did when we left it going into the break. Our onions and garlic looked mostly healthy and will be harvested soon. Lastly, we added another layer of compost to our bed to reinvigorate its growth potential and keep the soil structure healthy. Hopefully, our crops will be ready for the next market day!
