We used a silve (I think that’s how you spell it), which looks like a pogo stick with a missing step, to dig into the dirt and see the different layers/colors in the soil. And even though community gardens are great, there is a danger that the soil has lead and arsenic in it. Sunflowers should help with this problem though.
I really enjoyed the lab to the Macon community garden! If I ever get tired of cafeteria food and run out of money I will be sure to hit that up! Ok not really, well if I did plant something I guess I could right? Maybe I should email the maconroots people…haha macon roots=makin roots, get it? J Anyway here are some pictures I took of the garden there’s rosemary, sage, snap peas and also a video of Dr. Rood’s mud fight with select members of the class lol!
...don't really remember why I took this one haha
They're cool, don't know what they are though hmmm....
Ew eggplants
Compost pile! I think some seniors are doing a project with this...
