Another Day of Prep Work
Today started early with five students. We drove over to our on campus recycling center to collect cardboard to line the bed of the truck as well as the walk ways in the garden. We then traveled again to the Saddle up stable to load another truck full of manure. Though smelly and slightly wet we managed to load it quickly and return to Lakewood. Once the manure was unloaded we then made the quick trip over to the recycling center near the elementary where we could pick up free maulch. We loaded and unloaded two truck fulls of maulch, laying the cardboard down first we maulched around the first garden bed to give an example to tomorrows group of students. At this pace we should have all the prep work done by the end of the week!
