Gardening 101
When planning your garden the first step is to plot out your garden. Choose a spot that gets adequate sunlight (at least 6 hours per day). You will want to avoid areas that collect large puddles of water, as this may result in some of your plants drowning. You will then want to prepare the soil. If students are capable, have them assist you in turning the earth. If desired, you can cover the soil with straw to prevent weeds. This will also help with mud being tracked into your classroom. Schedule time for students to alternate pulling weeds and watering 2-3 times per week depending on your plants. |
