Fruity forest in the making. Week 7 with the Beans.

In week 1 when we planned what we wanted to learn about room 7 decided they wanted to plant a fejoa tree, an apple tree and a lemon tree. After checking the idea with Mrs Malcolm about where these trees could go we started to plant. This week we planted one of the fejoa trees. We all had a turn using the spade to cut through the grass and dig the hole scooping out the dirt. We dug the hole deeper than the fejoa tree and added a mix of compost and the earth we dug out. Then we added the rest of the soil and compost around the fejoa tree. We discussed clay in the soil, drainage, observed worms and most of all planted the first tree in the fruit forest at PPS.
