Garden cleanup

Hello,my name is zander calfee and I did garden cleanup On Monday the 9th and Wednesday the 11th on the first day I went for an hour and me and my group moved mulch from the pile to the front of the fence and on the second day I did another hour and me and my group moved mulch to the spots in the ground that were missing mulch 

Garden Cleanup

 During Garden Cleanup I didn’t just help “clean up the garden” I also learned more about the garden in general. At first I thought to clean up the garden we only needed to weed and mow grass. However I was completely wrong! There was far more to do and what I did is explained below.

 On my first day I along with another student worked at cutting withered rose branches. We had to use gloves because of the thorns. It’s funny how something so pretty can also be so prickly. Even with powerful metal leaf cutters some of the rose bush’s branches were very tough. After around 50 minutes the rose branches were piled up in one area to decompose.

 The following week I worked with many others on gathering mulch to spread throughout the chicken pen’s perimeter. We needed to do this so the crafty chickens would not seek escape under the fence. I never knew what the giant pile of wood bits was for in the parking lot until then. There was a large amount of mulch needed. In the mulch pile I saw many black beetles scurrying about. They probably use the wood for shelter and maybe food. So these beetles must be decomposers of some sort.

  For my last day at garden cleanup I only needed 10 more minutes. So along with help from another student we picked up garbage throughout the garden. There was lots of plastic chocked between the plants. Especially in the bench area there was the highest concentration of trash. Which just shows how some people simply don’t care about the environment. Especially since there are far larger concentrations of trash throughout the planet. From highways bordering forests to the ocean. That was what I did for my garden cleanup. Breaking rose branches, gathering mulch, and cleaning up the garden.

For my project in willow glen I helped Mr. Bursch with his garden. On my first day of garden cleanup, we were shoveling mulch into the wheel barrels. We put the mulch against the chickens fence. We had to refill the wheel barrels about 3 times. We did this for one hour. On our second day of garden cleanup, we shoveled mulch over all the spots of soil in the garden. A corner in the garden was just a dip into soil so we put a lot of mulch and covered it. Also i swept the mulch that fell of the sidewalk of the garden back into it.

In my garden cleanup sessions, I got rid of a dead rose and bush, helped with the mulch in the chicken coupe, and help with the plant nursery. The dead rose bush was in the way of someone's project and i was assigned to get rid of it, so the project could be put into the ground. There were people already working on the mulch, but i had extra time and decided to help replace the old decomposed mulch, with the new mulch. In my second hour, I was assigned to pull stray plants out of the ground and put them into a bucket with dirt in it so they could put it in the plant nursery.

     So our first day of garden clean, we had to clean the chicken coop.  So me and Anthony would switch off carrying the buckets of all the poop in the chicken coop.  Then me and Anthony second day of the garden clean up is that we had to make a better entrance for the chicken coop.  So, what we did is that we used shovels to get all the bark out of the way of the entrance all put the bark back in the chicken coop.  Our third and last day of the garden clean up is that we had to cut the grass close to the chickens down to two inches.

In the first day of garden clean up I had to put a bunch red wood bark on to a big container with wheels and move it towards the spots that needed some. After that I helped cut off the branches growing on the fence of the chicken coop. The next day I helped pick up trash around the school campus. After doing that for 30 minutes, I went back the garden gave the plants more water. Then trimmed of some of the plants that were dying or unnecessary. That concludes my 2 hours of garden clean up.

Garden Cleanup #3

For my third round of garden cleanup I had started of with trimming weeds and grass by the chicken coup. Then I picked up some more trash and cleaned up some of the plants. Then I moved over the Mickey long center to do some more trimming and cleaning over there. I started with picking some weeds and removing trash by there. After that I pulled more dead grass and weeds to help the plants grow better. This has helped the plants because the weeds take their nutrients and can harm the plants in the garden.
