September 20

A long overdue post - the last few days have been very busy working on the GreenShed. Here are a few highlights from Monday:


The CEU team decides to stay for a few more days... 
Grade 3, 4 and S4S students complete the compost bin.

The first load of compost is placed in the bin. Tatanka Najin School will be starting a classroom composting program this fall.

Compost bin adjacent to the large garden (and across from the raised planter beds).
Students fill the raised beds - and search for worms!

Digging soil for the raised beds.
Raised beds behind the youth centre. Each grade will plant and look after their own bed.
A worm!
Students added rocks, twigs and drilled pieces of wood to the bug palace.
Cheryl provides a delicious lunch of chili and bannock for all the youth and workers. Lunch was provided every day on site to keep the volunteers fed.
Youth enjoying lunch, sitting on a pile of lumber.
In the afternoon, it started to rain. Greg put up a tarp to create a sheltered work area and we continued to cut the rafters and posts in preparation for the next day.
