Garden Clean Up

Garden Clean Up

For my ELSP project I chose the garden clean up. I worked with a few of my classmates during my 2 hour long project. We first started by watering the plants, we planted for our germination seed lab and watered the trees and maybe did that for at least 15 mins. This benefited the garden by helping the plants and trees stay hydrated and healthy. Then we began doing compost with tools and I got to use a shovel. This took around 1 hour and it benefited the garden by separating the raw material into 2 other spaces so that the middle space is saved for other things. Then for the final 45 mins of my project I collected mulch that was in the parking lot and spread it out in the chicken runway so that te chickens have good mulch to step on.

•          For the ESLP project in biology. I choose to fill up the burk tan and the burk wood and put it on in our garden to make it look better and neat. 2 people jobs were to fill the buckets with burk With there shovels. And the rest of us were helping to pour the burk on the garden. We also use the wheel barrel and, that help alot, to make it easier and faster. And there was two kind of burk, tan burk and wood burk, so we hadded to put the tan burk in the back of the tools barn and the wood burk we put them in the garden. So we kept doing this for 2 hours and i cant lie it was pretty hard. I did this project because its my classroom garden,  and i didnt want it to look bad, cause i dont like things rom me that its looks messy and not neat. 

As you can see this is how it turn out, we stack the burk up and we tried our best to make it look clean 

Then the 2 hours was done, then we put back our tools and gloves and the wheelbarrel back in the little barn!..

Garden Cleanup

For the ESLP project I had decided to do the garden clean up. For that, a few others and me were assigned to shovel mulch and put those in the pathways and garden beds. We got to work and started shoveling the mulch into the wheelbarrows, for the bark mulch we took the wheelbarrows to the garden bed, dumped it on to the garden bed, and the spreading the mulch around to cover the garden bed. We repeated this process for two or three times. Then, after that was done, the next was to cover the pathways. We went back to the parking lot to get the cedar bark this time. After we dumped the cedar bark into the wheelbarrow, we carried this to the area near the compost area, then dumped them onto the pathways. We did this for a few times, until it was looking nice for the garden. This was for the 1st hour and 20 minutes of the two hours required.

For the last 40 minutes of the two hours required, I did the same work as before. Shoveling the mulch and placing those into the wheelbarrows. This time we used the buckets and had a bit more help with the bark mulch. Then, for the last few minutes I and another person assisted with the shoveling of the cedar bark mulch. We just had to fill the buckets in and pass those to the others. All this from the parking lot, which after we were done. The mulch piles looked significantly smaller than before.

Garden Cleanup

     For the garden cleanup I decided to clean the shed. First we  looked in the shed and decided where every thing is going to. Then we began to take everything out of the shed  and swept out all of the dirt and gunk off of the floor. We put the chicken cage in the far right corner and we put the glass bottles to the right of that and all of the tools to the right of those. In the far left corner we put all of the wood and the mesh. We made the  mistake of putting some stuff in the wheelbarrows, so the next day we had to take every thing out of the wheelbarrows and propped the wheelbarrows up on the left side of the shed. When it was all said and done it took about 2 hours and now the shed looks better ever.

Both of the pictures shown above show what the shed looked like before we took everything out.

The picture shown above shows all of the stuff we took out of the shed

This picture shows how  the shed looked after we reorganized it.

Garden Cleanup

     For the ESLP project in biology I chose the garden clean up.  I chose it because I wanted to keep the garden clean because I hate when stuff is unorganized.  Me and 3 other were assigned to clean the shed.  It was pretty crazy at first because stuff was all over the place.  First, we had to get everything out of the shed so we could sweep out all of the grain and rat feces. Next, we had to start at the back and put the least used stuff at the back.  We did this because they don't want the most frequently used stuff crammed in the back out of reach and hard to access.  After that we started putting everything back in and organizing it.  We ran into an issue when we put a ton of stuff in the wheelbarrow.  The issue with that is if they want to be used people would have to take everything out.  So we had to fix that, but after we resolved that issue we were done.  The whole process took 2 hours.

Garden Cleanup

Garden Clean up

   For my ESLP project I chose to do the Garden  clean up. I was assigned, with a few other people, to work on the compost pile. We started off by using the big shovel and the pitch fork. We had to build the compost pile from the ground up in the wooden area provided, and build it in layers. The first layer consisted of weeds and minimal sticks, to allow air to flow. The second layer is milch dirt. We had to evenly distribute the milch over the layer of sticks. The third and final layer was a light amount of regular dirt. After we would drag the hose over and thoroughly water the layer. We would repeat this process until we used all the milch and weeds. The purpose of a compost pile is to have lots of bacteria to break down slowly over time, this happens when the moisture is trapped in the layers of the layers in the pile of compost. We did a total of two hours, in two days, 1 hour each day. When we were finished our pile was a few feet above the ground,  like a large mound, and very wet.

Garden cleanup

I worked in the garden for about 2 weeks and cleaned up for a total amount of 2 hours. During that time I had cleaned up the trash around the school and cleaned up weeds out of the ground. The next thing I did was take out all the brassica plants in the garden and I think this project was good because it taught us we need to take care of the environment we live in
