Smart Home Garden Report: July 15
Today was a busy day in the garden. We had a group of students from Campos High School in Humboldt Park touring the Smart Home and stopping by the garden to learn about earthboxes. Teachers and students at the school are planning an Urban Agriculture project in Humboldt Park. The students learned how to prepare and plant three earthboxes.
The imported cabbageworm is still around, but we have removed many of its favorite plants like kale, broccoli and cauliflower. Right now we are keeping them under control by picking them off the plants.
I brought some shredded newspaper to add to the worm bin. While adding the moistened paper bedding to the bin, we noticed several white baby worms that look like very tiny bits of string.
Most of the garden is doing well. Everything has taken off with the recent wet weather and warm temperatures.
