community garden
can grade one
plant their
seedlings?
When the boxes were built, some spaces were left in-between some
bamboo stakes.
Since then a lot of the bamboo has moved apart due to the heavy wind and
rain. As a result, lots of soil has been washed away through the gaps
between the stakes.
Some of the plants have died due to infestation as well as the effect of too
much heavy rain. There have not been many plants growing in our Luzon
box for the past two months. We have observed that there has since been
an increase of flooding in this box.
What can we do to solve the
problems? To extend our
garden we are
adding
another raised
bed.
After lots of discussions, we have decided on the following layout for Phase Two!
