Garden+Update+September+2008

Junior Garden Update 25/09/08   Today Mrs Bailey went to the Rangitoto Quarry Landfill to get some mulch for the junior garden. At the dump, we turned around to make it easy for the digger to drop mulch into our trailer. When we had done that, we drove over to the weighing machine. The total weight was: 510kgs. It was worth $70 but we had no charge because it was generously donated by the landfill operators. We came back to school and dropped it off for Mr Gibb, to put it near the garden.  Later on that same day, all the juniors put it all in the garden and tossed it in with the old soil. They also put in new plants like flowers and vegetables. They say the mulch is going to do a very good job, helping their plants to grow so they can be enjoyed by our community!  Photos: Sarah Bailey Written: Jackie Katipa-Maikuku
