week four

this week we dug up the flower beds making a circler hole surrounded by pansies. we used trowels and shovels to dig the whole. one problem encountered when digging the hole was removing the rocks in the ground. we placed tulip bulbs in the hole going in a spiralling circle.

we then had to cover the bulbs with compost and then cover the whole with the soil. finally we had to water the flower bed. The rest of the class was spent maintaining the flower beds and the flowers planted previously also we continued to remove any weeds. another problem was the amount of soil that came out of the flower beds and ended up on the paths. this meant we had a lot of extra work sweeping it back on.

we had to turn and brake the soil on the three raised flower beds we used a rake to do this. we also used a rake when evening out the flower beds.
