Turning over the soil and clearing the weeds- by Mhaya and Elle

In this post, we will look at the students preparing the plots for planting.

 My classmates are getting rid of the weeds via manual labor. Using pesticides would be easier, but not as good for the environment (right).

After a long day of ridding our assigned plots from the weeds that infested them, some kids began raking the dirt to get it its humus dark color that it needs for it to be healthy (left).

 Emma is seen working hard flipping the soil to mix existing nutrients thoroughly. Others can be seen working to get weeds out with hoes and placing healthy dirt on to their plots ( right).

By the end of two days the students had cleared their plots and our farm was on its way to productivity! -Mhaya and Elle (Student Post)
