Week 1 of CJA's Agriculture Program

During the first week we harvested lettuce, cilantro, swiss chard, and arugula. We also took all the chicken droppings and placed it in the third compost bin. The chicken group had to make a pen and place the white hen in the pen because the white hen was overly protective of its eggs.

This week we learned several things:
1) We learned how to mix up the corn for the chickens by hand so that the chickens eat more.
2) We use shovels to mix up the compost so that it does not smell and in order to speed up the process of fertilization.

This is Dion with swiss chard:
