Maheno School Garden Club

Last week on Wednesday, November 11th at Maheno School Garden Club, we sorted out the compost by layering brown sticks for aeration and nutrients, as well as green waste like grass clippings and old plants. We also prepared the worm farm by layering shredded newspaper, sticks and green waste into an old bath tub. We made sure to water both to maintain moisture levels and an ideal environment for worms--our compost-helping friends. We worked in teams and used the dump trucks to help move sticks, grass clippings and green waste.

 

 We also netted the strawberries

 And we planted radish seeds
