VIG

Hello to those of you working on the VIG (Vertical Integrated Growing) You are doing such a great job! Don't forget to check the EC (the blue wand) as well as pH (the drops), and to type it on the computer log. Here is the link: greenhouse log I let you guys do this, not me, so if you forget to type it in, then we don't have data :( After you have finished with water testing you have some choices available to you:

Thanks for all your help!!
 * scrub the holes
 * make labels for the plants by getting a white sticky label and copying the name from the seed packet
 * lightly touch all the plants (that you can reach) to make sure we don't have aphids
 * ask for a ladder if you think you need to go higher
 * transplant seedlings to nursery if there are holes
 * ask if you can harvest
 * look to see if the seedlings in trays need water (if you put your pinky in and your nail is covered in water, then there is already enough in the tray- let's not over water!)
 * arrange the plants so that the plants are next to the ones that look like them
 * ask if you can plant seeds or get the tray ready for another class
 * look through the seed catalogue and fill out an order form
 * check on the lettuce plants from the VIG that are in the ladybug hut. Do you they need water? Are there still aphids on the plants?
 * look to see if there are trays to scrub with a little hydrogen peroxide and a scrubby sponge
 * sweep under the VIG (or anywhere:)
