Creating a No Dig Vege Garden.

The gardening team have allocated a garden plot to each class.

We found out about no-dig garden beds then chose the weediest available plot to develop into our no-dig garden.

The garden is like a lasagna with layers of cardboard, paper, straw, compost and earth and more straw.

We have even got some vegetables planted.

Any spare vegetable plants are very welcome.

We also used our measuring skills to make carrot planting strips that we have planted in a separate container.

Now our fingers are crossed, hoping that everything will grow and give us lots of veges.

In our reading about the Middle Ages we have found out that they had to grow all their own food.

Here are some photos of how we started our garden. Some technical issues mean that there aren't photos of some of the other stages.
