Good afternoon! We have uploaded our most recent gallery of progress! :) This week we have been working hard at emptying out our winterized greenhouse. In December we did some soil sampling in the greenhouse before growing consumable plants in the dirt and found that the levels were slightly high. As a result, the greenhouse folk have been working hard this week to empty the current dirt from within the winterized greenhouse and transferring it out. It has been a dusty process! We also purchased ALL of the buckets from Canadian Tire. The wood shop and greenhouse teamed up again this week to install an extra set of grow lights for our classroom projects! Our fearless leader, Catheryne, came up with the brain child of setting up a smaller growing system for things like our sprouts. The photos below show the pulley system, which allows lowering and raising the lights as needed, and will soon have the irrigation mat that has been ordered to help water the plants. Although the link provided shows a one-unit system, our process allows for more flexibility within our classroom environment. www.leevalley.com/en/garden/Page.aspx?p=68785&cat=2,44716 hosts the original system and we are excited to try the process here. Next week.... grow light assembly! Ps. aren't our greenhouse guys awesome!! They have allowed us to share their photos on the site! Meet our team!
