Assignment 3

1)They grew a little taller and look more green

2)Well they drink it then it evaporates and goes back into the air

3)Plants give out oxygen, this helps them grow and get stronger

4)Nitogen is in plants protein and when they use that protein it just regenerates and repeats itself

My Garden Cleanup experience By Omar

 Hi i am Omar and i signed up for the garden clean up.  On the left there is dirt that we moved next to the chicken coop. I was very excited because I could work with classmates by having fun and raising my grade up. I really want to do it again. On the right the picture On the right it shows us moving the dirt. The project was really hard but I liked it at the same time. I was having fun. 

My Garden clean up experience. By Carlos

    Hi my name is Carlos and i signed up for the garden clean up project. The photo on the right shows the dirt that I moved from one place to another to keep the chicken pit clean. Working on this project was hard because carrying the dirt was very heavy, but it was also fun and I enjoy the work because I worked with my friends as a team.
    I also helped clean the parking lot near the garden area. I cuts some weeds and i picked some garbage.  I enjoyed working on this project because i learned how to take care of a garden and also the importance of not lettering.

My Garden Clean Up Experience

The only time I recall working in a garden was eight years ago back in 1st grade. So going into the garden cleanup in 9th grade, I thought that things will get complicated. But, surprisingly, things were pretty easy. When I first went in, all I had to do is put chicken manure, hay, and leaves on a certain spot and wet them so that way, the manure can decompose. That took me an hour and thirty minutes. On the last thirty minutes, I adjusted the stones that formed a shape around a pile of dirt. Doing this project (especially since the last time I did it was almost a decade ago), I thought it was cool cleaning up a garden.

 In the garden we put new tanbark over the old one. The tanbark helped keep the chickens clean. I also helped to pick up trash that was left all over the tanbark. We had to keep it clean for the chickens to feel comfortable. It will be nasty if the tan bark was old and dirty and it would also not look noice in the garden.  I also watered the plants for a bit. This is what I did for my service project in the garden.

Working in the garden allowed me to learn why certain things need to go in a garden. In the garden I worked on moving the tan bark, and putting it over the old tan bark. The reason why we had to put new tan bark because over time it gets old and the chickens poop on it and it gets really nasty. When we put the new tan bark the garden not only looks nicer but it also gives the chickens a cleaner place to live. The chickens are in a cleaner place because eventually all there businesses they do tbey will just walk in and when people go inside they will always be steping on the chickens business. This is what I dis in the garden for my service project and why its important.

For my part of the garden cleanup, I mostly participated in being handy with the wheelbarrow.  I got some gloves and a shovel and began shoveling up wood chip mulch. I would then roll the big pile over by the open area by the fence and would dump everything out.  Then, I would use my hands to spread an even layer until I needed to go go back for more. I repeated this until most of the ground was covered and only a small amount of wood chip mulch remained.   Wood chip mulch covers the dirt and soil and protects rain and harsh weather from ruining it. It also keeps the dirt healthy and moist. The reason this is necessary is because we need to not only protect plants, but also the part of the ground where birds, animals, or any other abiotic or biotic factor could possibly destroy the healthy soil.

   The garden cleanup we surprisingly fun! Because we both had cross country practice everyday, we didn't have much time on our hands, so me and my friend both decided to choose this project. We spent about 2 hours one Saturday over fall break moving mulch in a few wheel barrows from the parking lot to the garden and then spreading it out. A lot of work had already been done, but we were still able to do a lot. It felt pretty good because I could see a big effect from my efforts. We helped the community by making the garden a better place that many can enjoy. It now looks much nicer and is easier to walk through. A lot of people will use this and even the chickens will benefit.

    In the beginning I didn’t really care for garden cleanup. But as I went for my first hour one day I noticed that this is very important to a handful of things. For example by contributing to garden clean up I can help the organisms that live around there, and the community. Seeing how much control I have over this was fascinating to me. This is why contributing was very cool and important to me. For my 2 hours of helping the community I spent my time carrying tanbark into the garden and spreading it around evenly around the garden. I made sure the garden was cleaned up and looked good for the community.

When my team picked garden clean at first it was for a grade, but working and going after school to work hard I learned something. Which was garden is very important to are world cause it helps everyone, gardening is like a big circle which helps every living to animal, bugs and even humans because it's how every living thing survives in this world. But I also learned that  with out gardening we has a human and for the animal we would not be able to survive, for how we would be fighting over food for different animals fight to survive. And in the end when doing this I had a fun time hang
out with friends. Then learned a thing or two.

        For my fall service project, I needed to do something that I had time for due to cross country. At first I didn't realize that garden cleanup would be enjoyable, but me and my friend headed out on the Saturday before fall break and we got to work. This project helped make the garden look nicer and made it easier to walk around on. It definitely helped the community by making the garden a more enjoyable to look and at and experience.
       We set out to spread mulch on the area between the entrance to the chicken coop to the walkway behind the shed. Kids before us spread mulch from the coop's entrance to the garden crops. We got two wheelbarrows to get mulch from the big pile in the parking lot, and we moved it into big piles near the areas we needed to fill. Finally we spread the mulch out evenly and made sure all of the ground was covered. It took about two hours to fill in the whole area.

Garden Clean Up 10-10-18 Salvador Sanchez

For the service project I did Garden Clean up. For Garden Clean up we had to put mulch in the chicken coop area using wheelbarrows. For two hours I shoveled mulch into the wheelbarrows and spread it around in the coop. We spread the mulch over the dirt areas. By doing this it helps the chickens have new mulch to walk in and makes the chicken coop look nicer than just brown dirt.did this for the two hours of work.

Stacy Ramirez-Graden Clean Up

For the ESLP project, I decided to do the garden clean up. The first day of garden clean up I help clean the sand and made sure that there was no tanbark on the sand or any rocks. Then helped smooth out the sand and then layer the sand. I also worked on the chicken coop I made sure that there was no trash in there and no dug up holes. My group and I got more tanbark to even out the ground and to put fresh new tanbark. This took an hour to do. The next day we were asked to put more tanbark on the outside of the chicken coop.we were also asked to put more tanbark around the tree. The only bad thing about tanbark is that every time we've put more tanbark into the wheel barrel the dust would get in my eye and it was hard to breathe around it. But I still did it anyway, we smoothed the tanbark best as possible. The areas we covered were huge so it took a little longer than we expected.                                                                                                                                                            

My friend and I try to smooth out the tanbark.

This was the tree we put tanbark around.

  

Garden Cleanup 10/10/18 Seth Ondo

I worked in the WGHS garden for two hours last week, and this is what I did. I scooped up mulch and carried it in wheelbarrows over to the garden. After that I spread out the mulch around the garden so it would cover up all the exposed dirt. I did this on both days that I was working. Doing this would help the chickens move around easier, and also would make the garden look nicer. My work will hopefully help the garden thrive in the future.
