Hello again! Week two... Last week we did a bit more on the tower by adding some more rungs and putting in our irrigation pipes. The pipes have simply been secured with a large zip tie. We also put the hoses through the pipes. This involved some cutting and hands on work which we fortunately had help with. Our trusty WoodShop guys had the tools and precision we needed to complete this part of the job. We were lucky enough that the crew from Saskatchewan cut notches in to the different segments to allow the irrigation pipes to fit nicely, although you may have to request this if starting a garden tower yourself. Today we picked up dirt to fill our first tower with while we navigate where to put it in our teeny little classroom space. We picked up three large bags of pre-mixed soil to make double sure that we don't run out. It has been a fun experiment so far and the girls working here seem to enjoy the challenge. Soil coming soon!
