As we begin the second semester of school there are crucial steps that we need to take as a class to prepare the farm for the new season. Along with the new semester comes new plans for our beds. Each bed has at least six different types of crops planted in the bed. This past week everyone has been preparing their beds for a new planting season. Each bed is following the rotations, to endure that the plants they put in their bed will grow to the best of their ability and enrich the soil. Our biggest focus this week was actually on getting rid of any invasive weeds in our beds. We spent the last farm work day we had taking out weeds from the beds to clean up space for new plants. After taking out all the weeds from our beds we were instructed to get compost and use it on our beds to support the soil and add nutrients to our beds. Weeds have been taken out of the beds, and compost has been added. The beds are ready to have new plants be planted in them for the winter season. Everyone is excited and prepared to bring in new crops to their bed. The chickens on the farm have been getting more and more comfortable with the farm and the people who come to take care of them. The chickens are much more friendly now and have even started to graze up on the orchard helping with the weeds and controlling any bug pest.
