Happy World Soil Day!

To celebrate World Soil Day (Dec. 5), the Grade 3 FI class harvested worm castings from our vermicompost!  We will use the castings as compost in our garden.  The worms that we removed will be placed back into our Worm Factory 360 vermicompost bin in the classroom.  We love worms!

Mulching the garden

Today the Junior Gardening Club diverted two large bags of leaves from the landfill. The leaves were used to mulch the beds and planters. This mulch will help shelter our tulip and garlic bulbs from extreme temperatures. Over time, the leaves will break down and add precious organic material to the soil. Win, win, win!

We also checked in on the lettuce, radishes, spinach and arugula in our cold frame.
