Beginning on Tuesday, April 17 the fence for the chicken area was constructed!  Posts were put in on Tuesday and the Fence on Wednesday.

Watch Out for this Masked Man

Tree Trimming Time on our Campus

About Face.....

Met with district facility Director. We agreed to make some changes to the garden. In Lieu of the 6" x 6" posts, we will replace with galvanized steel posts while a fence is placed for a chickens area.

We will be removing the 6x6 beam and posts.  We will reuse them as supports for the Kratky Method horizontal gardens and for the dutch buckets.

Sprinkler modification

Today we made some adjustments to where the hose valves are located in two places. We originally had the hose bibs up against the existing block wall, but what we are experiencing is that in that location some of the plants get hit by a dragging hose. We hope by moving the hose bibs to the walkway that the "dragging" hose will be on the walkway and not on the vegetable plants.

Will have to add final photos to show new hose bib location.  Today the temperature reached 86 degrees at 11 AM. The students were quick to get back into an airconditioned room.

Installation of 2nd Beam

Today the students installed the beam on the north two posts.
Step one was to check the level of the posts in relation to the existing posts
Two - cut posts as needed.
Three-add metal post caps
Four- Measure beam length in relation to existing beam and cut.
Five - Place beam into caps, check level.
Six - Nail beam connections.
Seven - Clean Up
