Garden Session April 11, 2012

We have a gardening session on April 11, 2012 after school.


Soil Wetness Test:

Squeeze some soil in your hand.  If the soil holds its shape as a ball, the soil is too wet to work with.  If the soil crumbles after being squeezed, it is safe to dig the soil.



  • If the soil fails the wetness test, all we need to do today is put up the plastic cover.
  • If the soil passes the wetness test and crumbles when squeezed, then evenly spread all the bags of mushroom manure and Sea Soil over the middle box and mix it in with shovels.  Then put the plastic covers up.  You may remove the support pipes when working the soil.

  • The plastic cover will help warm the soil, so we can plant out tomatoes early.
