Agriculture

In Stage 4 Agriculture, students have been tending to a variety of vegetables in our new garden beds in Ag Plot B. Our Farmbot is currently taking shape and will be completed in the upcoming weeks.

Meanwhile, our Stage 5 students have been preparing the soil for a trial in Ag Plot A. We will be conducting an experiment to see what manure (horse, chicken or cow) promotes the highest yield.  A thank you must go out to the families that have assisted with this process.
