A partnership between Active Citizen Project and University Heights High School, Bronx, NY.

    Build a bio pad to prevent your soil from being compromised by petrochemicals.
    Wood chips work nicely as a buffer. Remember to consider the slope or direction that tannins will          be seeping.
    Work party!
                                                         
                          
    Not too many days after the work party...results!
    Imani weeding the chard.
    Mustards are a portion of the mesclun mix. Here are Ruby Streaks and Green Wave.
    With direct seeding comes a lesson in thinning. Even urban radish want their elbow room.
    Erica and Imani harvest the mustards.

    Making all the bags the same one pound.
                                     Throwing off all the water on the leaves for better keeping.

    Good example of even maturation thanks to thinning.
