Students from Jesse Bethel lend us a helping hand

-
The winter cold, wind and rain did a little damage to our garden, like freeze damage to our sweet potatoes and some spotty flooding around parts of our walkways. We are so ready for spring and grateful for the help students from Jesse Bethel provided. They spent their Saturday morning helping us pull weeds, add mulch to our walkways, clean our aquaponic system and overall general cleanup. Thank you to the National Honor Club at Jesse Bethel!

    Hi, Very good your experiences! Really this are inspired me a lot, Thank you so much for sharing such amazing information. Moving is a daunting and unpredictable task. You try to prepare for it, and it seems no matter what you do, you still have so many unforeseen circumstances and don’t know how to move. But don’t worry, that’s completely normal with moving. It will happen, and the best advice we can already give is to expect problems to arise, especially when you’re moving long-distance. But don’t stress about it. Just tackle them as they come and be prepared. However, if you’re starting from square one and don’t know where to begin, we have you covered. This article will cover all the do’s and don’ts that are essential for long-distance moving. We hope to teach you how to prepare for a move as much as possible to take some of those potential unforeseen circumstances away before they begin.

Turning of Leaves

 Thank you volunteers Aaron and Thomas who came out to help turn the compost bins. We add compost to the raised beds and containers before each planting and use it to topdress our trees. The reason for composting are 1) it's good for the environment because you recycle kitchen and yard waste thereby reducing landfill waste 2) it adds nutrients and improves tilth to the soil 3) it introduces valuable organisms to the soil such as fungi, bacteria, and protozoa 4) it's great exercise and you can be outdoors breathing in fresh air. Lastly, it's good for the soul. Try your hand at composting. If you would like to learn how to compost, come by Sunday mornings at the Vallejo People's Garden where Ravi, our compost master can help you learn how.
