Gardening with our UC High Buddies

Analyzing soil

This fall we are working with high school students from UC High in the school garden. The first week we planted seeds in the greenhouse. Eventually we'll transplant these plants into the garden. Last week we pretended to be aliens from the planet Zog who were on a mission to find out all about soil. We analyzed soil for three different locations and even tried to make our own dirt. We learned that it takes 100 years to make one inch of soil.
