Enviormental Science Blog Update 2

 
 
Now near the end of their time, we now see how each Group has progressed.

 
The Compost group. They say they are about 80%-90% done, just needing to clean things up and stick on the roofs to the compost pile. they predict they can finish by friday.

The irrigation group (Matt was not there at the time.) They say there where about 75% done, having a "Quantum Entanglement" of their pipes. They where currently working on just getting their water source working again and then trying to optimize a way to get their irrigation working again.

 
The Pathside group. They are 100% done. They finished laying out the ground work and are now planting new plants and adding supplimary details.

The greenhouse group. They said they where mostly done, as they needed to finish up their 'L-bed's, clean up and finish up planting.

 
With the interview, Dylan expressed surprise at how things turned out. he was surprised that the pathway group was able to finish despite their huge task, and even more surprised how the green house managed to fall short of his prediction. He believed to be right on the mark with the irrigation group. he believed that 80% of everyone was working.

Dylan Interview 4/12/11

On the fly, i interviewed one of the supervisors awhile back. this is what he had to say

"Unless we turn it around, we might not be as productive as we want". Green House and Irrigation are okay. Pathway is hard to keep tabs on. "I think everything will look good, there's enough people to get it done." He predicts (at that time) that about half of everyone was working. this does not reflect opinions or guesses now.

Spring 2010 Garden Project

The Environmental Science class and the IOP group started work in the garden about two weeks ago and it all ready looks better then it did before. With the help of the IOP class we hope to keep building upon the accomplishments of previous classes.  We will leave a mark of our own, on this school for others to enjoy for many years to come.

Pictures to come of our progress...

Spring Project Time

Over the course of the IOP Spring Project I snapped off some picts. 

Looking Back To the Rains of Winter

At the beginning of the spring semester the Environmental Science class worked on some projects in the IOP courtyard garden.  The first task we took on was the completion of the greenhouse, by covering it with plastic and adding a dutch door.  Our next big job was to sheet mulch, cover beds with cardboard and leaves, the perennial beds and veggie rows.  We brought about 25 yards of leaves into the courtyard for this undertaking.  Here are some pictures looking back:
