Habitat for humanity
Currently I am doing very well with my project. I am creating a vegetation garden for one of the Habitat for Humanity homeowners. Next Saturday on May 3rd I will be getting the ground ready by tilling it. Then, on the following weekend I will be planting the actual plants. My official project date will be Saturday May 10th. I am hoping that the weather cooperates with my project because it is still a little chilly at night. This has been a challenge for me because I have to check the weather about twice a day. At my house I have about 36 plants that are planting. I will then bring these plants to the homeowners house and plant them into the ground. Over spring break, I went to the homeowners house and met with the lady I will be creating the vegetation garden for. I did some measurements and I also blocked off the area of where I will be tilling the ground. There has been some research that I have done in order to till the ground. I will be tilling the ground about 6-10 inches. I have most of the materials at my house and Habitat for Humanity provided me with a irrigation system. They have given me hoses and other supplies. My plan is too put the hoses near the garden and then some how have the water drip out so that it can help me with growing the plants. This is part of the irrigation plan that I have created. This will help me in growing the plants the right way. These are some of the things that I have currently been working on with my project the past few weeks.

Andrew,
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to have you create your garden. It is a very unique project that I think is right up your alley. I love the fact that you are going to continue this for other houses. As a teacher who wants her students to play an active role in their community you certainly are doing that for those in need. You are doing a great job and have managed your project very well. Good luck tomorrow and let me know if you need anything.
