Garden Bed Construction Update!

Several Photos of the Garden

Today we walked out as a class to see the workers working on the irrigation system.  This system is located along the north side of the maintenance building (what used to be the funeral home). The trench is about 10 inch wide and approximately one foot deep; the trench follows the wall of the building until the end when it cuts across the drive thru onto the garden area where it slant into the first bed.  The workers used a jack hammer, pick axe, and shovel to create the trench for the irrigation system.
All the large and small beds are finished. The aisles between the beds are about 3 to 4 feet wide. The beds are missing the soil mix (which we are still waiting to arrive), and the aisles need to be covered by gravel. Phase one almost looks finshed!
