Gardening and Compost Success!!!

Gardening

Hello, I'm Matt and I'm going to tell you what we have done over the past three weeks. It took us two weeks to weed the plant boxes outside Rooms 1, 2, 3 and 4 ready for planting next term.

Compost

As I type bananas fly through the air because the rest of the Envirocrew are sorting through our compost bin behind the library.


Yes, we are amidst of the compost fun. We had not been too sure how successfully the compost had been working as it has been filled with mainly fruit scraps over the past two years.

Composts work better when they have a mix of different types of plant matter but it seems our layering of newspaper soaked in lime has worked wickedly!!! Worms galore!!!


So after the guys took off the layer of rubbish (yes rubbish!!!) and fruit scraps not yet decomposed, they began shifting the rich compost into the wheelbarrow to transport to our gardens.


After a whole lot of smell they completed the job in style!!!
