Special Project #1 -- clean up the lot!

So we had some students from outside the veggie garden club come in to help us with the first of our three special projects -- Cleaning up the trash, branches and rocks from the site. We thank them for this, but in the end they will also be getting some Service Learning hours for their help (so we thank them in a most appropriate sort of way ;).

The other two special projects that we've planned outside help for are spreading the organic fertilizer (two weeks from now) and building the rain catchment systems (four weeks from now). Here are some photos from day one of the cleanup:








It wasn't too bad, as the weather was warm (but windy). It was fun to meet some new students, and to get something else accomplished! Tomorrow we'll work the perimeter and remove more of the 'eyesore' type trash that is less of a problem for the tiller but more of a problem for looks...
