Mush! Mush! Mushroom Compost

 This summer our gardening crew has been extra busy watering, weeding, and hydrating our soil. After doing a bit of research, Alessandro discovered the function of the hyphae part of mushrooms and gave us the brilliant idea of using mushroom compost to replenish our soil and to help it absorb and retain moisture.

Watering and adding our own compost


Xavier and Connor add fresh soil to our lamb’s ear plants;

 Everyone took a little something (basil, banana peppers, peppermint, oregano) so that we can experiment with recipes that call for ingredients we are growing. 
Well done, everyone!💪🌱
