The Three R's- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Hello people, its Lobsang here., blogging.  

I am a beginner. First time ever to blog. Ha ha!

Got something to say., WELCOME TO COMMENT!

check this site out:    
- reduce, reuse and recycle song..
We, the student gardeners, are the first to ever make a compost pit since the establishment of MHC student garden.
In this pic, you can see the compost, in the process of decomposing. mmm.... delicious

                      At last, tomato sprouts. 


We were worried because all the others crops have already sprouted.
                   
Ha ha! That took much hard work for the tomatoes.
 

Finally, they have started rototilling the garden....


Still in the process of rototilling....

The grasses from the garden, we collected....

     Shristi pushing the wheelbarrow, carrying the grasses

We made a netting, to dry the collected grasses
 
One netting wasn't enough!

                        Alison spreading the grasses to dry.

We collected the overgrown grasses from the garden,  dried it.  HAY!

To use it as mulch.
RECYCLE.
