Week 7

Week 7: Writing and photography by the Ecokids... We had two groups of Eco Kids. One went to do weeding while the other did mulching.

What's mulching? Mulching is when you have cut up little bits of bark and twigs. You put them around plants to protect them. This group went with Phil. With weeding, you have to get all the leaves and pull them out properly. You need to pull all the roots out properly otherwise the weeds will grow again. You may need a trowel to help you loosen the soil. You must put weeds in the rubbish bin because if you put them in the compost bin, they will grow again. This group went with Mrs Tuck.
