Cover Crops ❇️ Just before the summer, we built some planters in our Climate Cooler Schools, ready for their sponge gardens to be planted up in the autumn 🍁 But leaving a bunch of bare soil for the summer sounds very out of character for us, doesn't it? You're right! The students sowed a cover crop to protect the bare soil from the elements, the hot sun, the pouring rain and also to provide structure for the soil. And as an added bonus, whilst the flowers are around, it's great food for the bees 🐝 The students will be digging the plants into the soil this week, ready for planting up, this adds some valuable nutrients ready to be used by the next lot of plants. As summer finishes and we move into autumn, perhaps you've got some bare soil that you could cover too. #CollectiveClimateRepair #ClimateCoolerSchools The National Lottery Community Fund (fb)
