For my June 2017 and final Ecology Service Learning Project, I once again helped with a garden cleanup. This time was a bit different, as I did my whole project solo. In total, I spent my two hours of garden work by first pruning the rosebushes growing along the outside fence. The roses are pretty, but the thorny overgrowth was causing difficulty opening the chicken coop "gate" and entering. I took some gardening clippers and went to town on the bushes and cleared a path clear through to the chicken house, which I would need to use later.
Next, I took a shovel and pitchfork and entered the hen house to do the long overdue job of breaking up and shoveling out the hard compacted dirt/chicken feces, then replacing it with mulch. This made the whole hen house nicer and more sanitary, as well as providing some soil nourishment with the mulch.
