Cleaning Up and Replanting
This week with our new group of Incredible Edible-ers we decided the aeroponic needed a big cleanout. The students worked together to empty it and got their hand’s dirty scrubbing the debris.
3 weeks of aeroponic growth : Update
About three weeks ago our aeroponic tower was installed with small shoots of veggies such as Pak Choy, Thai basil and even eggplant! Three weeks on and it’s just about overgrown. The rate at which these vegetables are growing is faster than we’ve ever seen on campus, clearly, this new technology creates an environment of nutrients, minerals and hydration that accelerates its growth.
Below is a side by side comparison to see this incredible growth.
Growing on the aeroponic is the following,
Dwarf Tomatoes, Red Giant Mustard, Nufar Basil, Black Leaf Pak Choy, Rocket, Marigold Tangerine Gem, Kyoto Minuza, Orange Mint, Dark Opal Basil, Mulato Chili, Tuscan Kale, Baby Eggplant, Chinese Capsicum, Leaf Lettuce Thai Basil, Mustard Greens, Ulam Raja, Lemon Balm and Butterhead Lettuce.
Let us know if you’d like to take some home or if you have any recipes you’d recommend!
Happy plants
Thanks to the person who added a smile to our aubergine plant in the hydroponics tower last week. Spreading joy through nature!
I never knew!

During Incredible edible I learned about the composting process in our school as I took part in it one session, before this service I never knew how our school discarded excess leaves or plant based waste. Another thing I learnt was about weeding and how to differentiate plants from weeds. I really enjoyed this service and it was very fun to take part in.
Pure outdoors

I had some enjoyable moments such as cutting down trees, watering plants and much more.
Well, now I know how to distinguish weeds from plants, some amazing techniques to cut down banana trees and a lot of different ways to water plants.
Not through coursework or anything. From pure outdoor experience.
P.s. cutting down trees was such a fun experience.
