Week 4: CJA Agriculture

Garden Group:
Overall this week the granden group uprooted weeds so they won't take away water from our plants. The garden group does not believe in using pesticides and herbicides because they are harmful to humans and the environment. They also cut down cilantro, pulled up carrots, and harvested lettuce to eat in our school potluck. They also used new soil from the compost to prepare to grow new plants.

Compost Group:
Mr. Walter Jones and Mr. Francois Castillo dug up soil from one of our compost bins to enrich the soil of our garden. Our watering team watered the compost to help the organisms inside decompose the waste. The compost group also mixed in orange peels and other fruits and vegetables so they could make more soil for the garden.
