Kainos Farm Week 11: New Additions

It was amazingly hot in Kainos Farm this week due to the lack of trees in the vegetable plot section. Our working time was limited to 4 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon. That's why instead of installing our raised bed boxes, we did other productive things.


* We made 2 compost bins and placed them in strategic locations to simplify gathering of cut grass and dried leaves.


* We hired local villagers to gather bamboo poles for us.


* We installed a portable water sprinkler with stand to help us with keeping the plots moist.


* We made 2 raised beds using the lasagna method. We will plant vegetables for the staff's personal consumption in this section.
