Winter months in the garden

We have been busy in the garden feeding and insulating the soil for the winter. Mulching using seagrass collected by Year 6 Waterwise children at Okahu Bay. Feeding the soil with worm castings and worm tea and used coffee grinds.

Planting broadbeans, cabbages, sprouting broccoli and other winter crops and we have been experimenting with growing garlic. Children have made and painted signs so that all the crops that have been planted can be identified.

 We are very excited with how the prepared olives from our school tree have turned out and they were delicious on the wood fired pizzas we made at the end of Term 2.
