Over the past two weeks, we have...
* completed the first two steps in the month-long process of making our own Bokashi composting Effective Microorganism mixture (this involved careful measuring and pouring, a little bit of math, and a whole lot of waiting);
* created our own illustrated planting calendar poster for the classroom wall that details what we can plant during each month of the year (based on the information in Golden Gate Gardening by Pamela Peirce);
* started three trays of vegetable seeds (snow peas, carrots, and mixed lettuces)...
... and weeded the itchy, nettle-like leaves out of the planting bed next to our picnic tables.
Before Spring Break, we hope to transplant our seedlings into the vegetable garden, water them with our collected greywater, and nourish them with the lactobacillus curd from the bokashi-making process.
