Hi my name is iber moreno and or my service project i did the garden clean up. I did t with some friends and it was fun, i did 30 minutes a day to complete 2 hours. My experience with the garden clean up was cool because i learn all about plants and how they produce the protein on  the plant. what i did was pick up the pieces of wood and take then to the plant and dump on them on the plant for the plan can stay strong working in the garden clean up was fun and cool.

Iber, there are no photos of your work and you did not title your post. --Mr. Bursch

Garden Cleanup

For my service project I cleaned the garden with my friends.  My job was to cut the grass and any weeds.  This was to make sure they wouldn't steal the nutrients the kale needed to grow.  After I cut the grass and weeds, I laid them on top of the already cut grass so more would not be able to grow. 
Another thing I did with the cut grass was give it to my friend.  She worked on the compost pile and needed grass for it.  Also, I would feed the chickens some too because it was fun to me.  I would work thirty minutes one day the first week, another hour and a half the next week.  We also picked up any trash we saw and put it into a bucket.  The trash would harm the plants by blocking the sun the kale needed to grow too.

Garden Clean-up Project

I came in with my group of friends to clean up the garden for 30 min. each day, close to the chicken coop. In the first day I cut branches off the and cut some weeds with Miranda Kim. It was hard work! But I loved visiting the chickens and helping out the garden. It did look much cleaner than it was before I started!

We all had a great time cleaning up and learning more about the ecosystem. Since Mr. Bursch was teaching us while working. I did Horticulture so it was an add on to this project.

Garden Cleanup

Hi my name is Vanessa , and for my service project I did the Garden Cleanup . I did it with my friends Alexis , Vanessa M , taima , Christian , and more .  I did two hours in total of the Garden Cleanup . I actually really liked doing this project because for one I like to help out with  the environment  ,  secondly it was really fun to do and lastly it was just a simple project .  I filled the gardens around the school with multch , picked some weeds and even more importantly  picked up all the trash that was in the garden . Multch kills all the weeds and used to make the beds more attractive .  Here is a picture of what it looks like.

Garden Clean Up

For my job on garden clean up I spread mulch over the soil. Mulch is used to help the soil sustain a moisture surface, stop weeds from growing, and keeps the soil cool. Organic mulch (the kind that was used) also helps create more fertile soil by decomposing. The mulch is also used to improve the appearance of the garden.

For my two hours i was working in the garden . Me and my partner had to fill up a section in the barn full of dead grass , branches , and other things to make compost.I never really knew how hard it is to keep the garden clean and what goes into it to keep it well but after my 2 hours i learned .

Making the compost helps the garden because they can use the compost for soil . It helps fill the soil with nutrients to help all the plants grow. It also uses materials that people throw away like rotten food we add some them to the compost instead of throwing them away. 

Garden Clean Up

For my 2 hours I was working on adding mulch to the garden near Mickey Long Center. I carried a bunch of mulch that was in a wagon to the building and it was a bit difficult. I never really imagined how hard it would be to take care of a garden. Once I finished for the day my arm was aching for the entire day! Nevertheless, the garden looked much better.

Adding mulch to garden 

 Not only did the mulch make the garden look a lot better it also helps it by preventing weeds and soil moisture. I believe gardens around the school not only look great but are great ideas for school projects. Maybe next semester I'll help by adding to it. In the end, I have much more respect for gardeners because it can be a lot of hard work!
