The semester break is over and now it's time to start working on our farm again. Horray! Happy spirit filled us all when we made our way to the farm, but boy was it replaced by horror quicker than we know. Our hedge, which took us hours to work on are covered with a NEW invasive species, much stronger and studier than our old enemy the Rusiga plant! Here's a picture of our invaded hedge...

Well, no time to waste, lets get to work! First we cleared out our new enemy and since the grass is really tall now, we decided to make a pathway through the middle of the farm to make it more accessible. I really hope the grass cutter is gonna give our farm a visit soon or it will not be safe for our people to work around such places anymore.
The soil in our plot has been malnourished, probably due to the nutrient intake by those invasive plants. Another problem that we have to overcome before we start planting. The solution that we came across was to fertilize the soil, using our organic method, which comes in the form of our Orange Skin leftover, which comes from the enzyme bin! To fertilize our plot, we scattered those skins on it and hope that it will at least nourish it slightly before we come with a better and more effective solution.

SO now that work is restarted, and there are so many more obstacles, I'll keep updating on our progress and see how well it goes. They say that starting a new thing is never easy, and I think Biosoc members are FARRRRRRRRRRR from giving up on this project yet. See you soon readers!
